Chapter 203;
Steamed Buns
Seeing them like this, Lu Yaoyao didn't even explain. He got up and went to the study room, took out a book, opened it, and handed it to Lao Kang.
"Take a look."
Lao Kang took the book in confusion, and when he looked at it, his pupils shrank.
"Will it really happen?"
"I don't know, but judging from this record, it's very likely that it will happen. I don't need to tell you how terrifying this thing is."
The conversation between the two made Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yu look confused.
"Miss, what are you going to say?"
Lu Yaoyao walked to the seat where he was just now and sat down.
"As the old saying goes, when drought is extreme, locusts appear. According to records, they appeared once seven years ago, and it was still a small scale."
"You all know how big this drought is now. I don't know if it will happen, but if it does, how big of a disaster will it be?"
"We must nip it in the bud. Besides, we don't have no place to consume the chickens and ducks we bought."
"As far as I know, our Baizhenlou consumes more than two hundred chickens and ducks every day."
"What does twenty or thirty thousand mean?"
"And isn't this buying wheat? If it doesn't show up by then, we can feed it with wheat first and we won't lose money."
At this time, Lao Kang thought carefully about what she said, made some calculations in his mind, and then nodded repeatedly.
It's just that he still doesn't understand, what are the chickens and ducks used for?
"Miss, what is the extreme drought and the locusts?"
"Locust plague."
Qiu Shuang turned to look at Qiu Yu and spit out two words.
"Locust plague?"
Qiu Shuang shuddered. She had seen this thing before. Those densely packed locusts made her scalp tingle when she thought about it now.
"Yes, every time there is a severe drought, there is a high probability of a locust plague. You all know how big the drought this year will be."
"It covers too many places. Even if it doesn't exist in the capital, what about other places?"
"As soon as this thing appears, it will be a film, and it will also move. Who knows whether it will come to the capital by then?"
Lao Kang and the three of them nodded repeatedly. This is indeed something difficult to say.
As for that incident seven years ago, it wasn't the capital's problem, but didn't locusts fly in from other places?
"Then what are you buying chickens and ducks for?"
"Of course it is to prevent the locust plague. When the time comes, we will ask the people on the farm to set up some fences and fences on the edge of the fields to form a circle."
"If the fields are enclosed inside, if there is a locust plague, not only the chickens and ducks can eat them all, but they can also eat some of them, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them suddenly thought, and then they thought, this thing is really feasible.
"Isn't the 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a little less? How about 50,000 to 60,000 yuan?"
Lao Kang thought for a while and suggested.
Although Lu Yaoyao's farm only has 200 acres of land, the crops in other farms in the capital have been almost destroyed by drought. If locusts really come, the green crops in their farm will definitely attract locusts.
place.
"That's okay. Anyway, we can consume this thing ourselves slowly. We won't lose money. We just have to trouble people to take care of it."
"It doesn't matter, our village doesn't need anyone now."
"Okay, you just go and make arrangements. As for the fences and other things, you can see if there are any people outside the village who are free. Pay the wages and let everyone do it together."
Lao Kang nodded repeatedly.
After asking some other questions, he withdrew, and then quickly found the people in the village and started discussing.
As soon as the heavy rain stopped, everyone inside and outside the village took action.
The next day, more than 20,000 stones of wheat were delivered to the village.
Looking at the mountains of wheat, Qiu Yu was a little confused.
"Miss, this thing is cheap, but isn't it a bit too much for you to buy so much?"
She wanted to know if she was burning too much money.
"You don't understand. Just watch carefully for a while and I will teach you how to turn decay into magic."
Wheat is a good thing, but boiling it directly in water and steaming is not so good.
But if you turn it into flour, there are so many things you can do.
Let’s not talk about other exquisite pastries, let’s talk about steamed buns and steamed buns. They are good things to satisfy hunger.
If you pay three cents for a pound of wheat and pound it into flour, you can make a lot of big steamed buns.
Make a profit, make a lot of money.
People outside still don't know the usefulness of this wheat, so she got such a big advantage.
"Miss, what you want is ready."
In the distance, Qiu Shuang is walking quickly towards this side.
"Come on, let's watch your lady perform magic tricks for you."
Lu Yaoyao took the two of them to the kitchen. Last night, she had asked someone to grind some wheat into flour, and then got some yeast based on the search results.
After working in the kitchen for more than an hour, a basket of large steamed buns and steamed buns exuding the fresh smell of wheat came out.
Seeing these white and tender buns all over their heads, everyone in the kitchen was shocked and curious.
They never expected that the wheat would turn out like this in the hands of their young lady.
Lu Yaoyao finally picked up a steamed bun and took a bite. It was soft and fragrant. It was really good.
"Don't be stunned, try it and see if it tastes good."
When she spoke, Qiu Yu quickly picked up a steamed bun and bit into it.
"Is this really made of wheat?"
Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao rolled her eyes. She had asked someone to prepare all the ingredients. Who didn't know about it in the kitchen?
Is it stupid to say something like this at this time?
Qiu Shuang also took a sip and was equally shocked.
"tasty."
"This is delicious. Miss, you are really amazing."
Those people in the kitchen also tasted it at this time, and everyone gave a thumbs up and praised it.
Wheat, which was originally cheap and tasted unpleasant, can actually be made into something so delicious after a series of changes.
Most importantly, this thing is very hungry.
"Have you all learned the production method just now?"
Everyone nodded.
"Then get busy quickly. Today at noon, everyone inside and outside the village will have a steamed bun for lunch."
After getting her order, everyone started to get busy.
Since there were not enough manpower, women from other farmers in the village were called in to help.
At noon that day, there was an extra white fat steamed bun for lunch throughout the village.
Except for the three masters and servants, Lu Yaoyao, and the people in the kitchen who had already tasted it, everyone else looked confused and curious when they saw this thing.
"What the hell is this?"
"The fat and white one is pretty good-looking. Is it for food?"
"That's for sure."
"But what kind of action is this?"
"It should be rice noodles."
"No, how can rice flour make such white cakes?"
"No matter what they are made of, Miss, they can still harm us. Let me try them first."
Everyone is talking.
With one person taking the lead, everyone didn't talk nonsense. No matter whether they were people inside or outside the village, they all had great trust in Lu Yaoyao.
"It's delicious. This thing is delicious."
