In the endless fields, the summer rice that has already formed ears looks like layers of yellow and green oceans blown by the breeze.
By the river at the foot of the mountain, Shen Yunxi came twice, once to wash clothes and once to find Shen Pingping, but now her purpose was different.
Walking slowly along the river, Shen Yunxi saw a lot of wild ducks. Villagers often come to catch wild ducks, but the ducks have a strong smell, so the taste is not very good, and the ducks swim very fast. People who don't know how to swim don't dare to go into the river to catch ducks.
A big duck flapped its wings vigorously, then buried its head in the water, and soon surfaced again with a small fish in its mouth.
The little ducks gathered around and wanted to eat the fish.
Shen Yunxi felt warm when she saw this scene. She suddenly remembered something and pushed aside the grass on the shore. She was surprised to find that there were four wild duck eggs here!
She carefully touched up the wild duck eggs and put them in her pocket.
Shen Yunxi sat by the river, thinking about the future.
What she sees now are these wild ducks and duck eggs. There are a lot of wild ducks like this in Hong County, and there are probably a lot of duck eggs. Duck eggs can be made into salted duck eggs. This method is already available, but the method of making preserved eggs is not yet available.
She opened the "Fall in Love with the Kitchen" app and searched for how to make preserved eggs. Making preserved eggs is not difficult, but making preserved egg powder is more complicated.
If she purchased ready-made preserved egg powder directly from the "Pumpkin" video app, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of Mu Chenglin's family. Therefore, if she wanted to make preserved eggs, she could only prepare preserved egg powder by herself. This recipe could only be obtained from Postponed.
She looked at the flocks of ducks and thought of how to eat ducks. Ducks can be made into roast duck, sauce duck, salted duck, salted duck, etc. Duck feathers can be made into down jackets, and duck blood and duck gizzards can be made into duck blood vermicelli. , and duck neck, duck head, duck clavicle, etc. can be made into braised food.
But this requires a lot of investment. The wild ducks will eventually be caught and they need to be raised by themselves.
Shen Yunxi kept flipping through the app. She suddenly remembered the remaining wine from the Mu family, and then she thought of fermented fermented glutinous rice. She immediately searched for how to make fermented fermented fermented fermented glutinous rice. Like preserved eggs, fermented fermented fermented glutinous rice is not difficult to make, but it requires distiller's yeast.
However, she could prepare the ingredients for the koji in advance.
After much tossing and turning, Shen Yunxi decided to take the path of soybeans. Because there were too many ways to do soybeans, she decided to ask Xia Yifan for help. Mu Chenglin mentioned that Xia Yifan was a big businessman and he must have a way to get soybeans.
Businessmen are big on profits, so as long as she gives him some sweet treats, it's impossible for Xia Yifan not to make money!
In addition to the wild ducks swimming on the river, there are also fish in the water. How to cook fish deliciously?
Braised in soy sauce, you need soy sauce, and soy sauce needs soybeans.
Steaming requires tempeh, and tempeh requires soybeans.
Pickled fish requires chili, wine, and sauerkraut!
Then let’s make sauerkraut first. Shen Yunxi checked out how to make sauerkraut. It’s not difficult to make and all the ingredients can be found. It will be successful in about half a month.
The raw materials of sauerkraut can be mustard greens, cabbage, and green vegetables. In this season, you can buy cabbage and green vegetables in the village. As for mustard greens, if the sauerkraut sells well, there will be rumors that they will buy it in large quantities in winter. People who grow mustard greens like this There will definitely be a lot.
Thinking of acid, Shen Yunxi thought of vinegar again. She checked and found that it was not difficult to make her own homemade vinegar, and it would take about half a month to heal.
After asking Xia Yifan to get soybeans, she started selling tofu and tofu curd.
So I decided to start with bean sprouts, sauerkraut, vinegar and tofu beans.
After making the decision, Shen Yunxi dusted himself off, picked up four wild duck eggs, and prepared to return to Mu's house.
Shen Yunxi had just walked a few steps when she heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw a panting little girl.
In the memory of the original owner, there is this little girl, her name is Yang Xiaomi, and she is one of the few good friends of the original owner in the village.
Yang Xiaomi is thirteen years old this year, one year older than the original owner. Her family conditions are not very good, so she often goes out to work. Yang Xiaomi has a straightforward and enthusiastic personality, and she often takes the original owner, who is one year younger, with her.
"Yunxi!" Yang Xiaomi held a package in his hand, and then looked up and down at Shen Yunxi.
"My grandma was not in good health a few days ago. My parents took me and my brother to my grandma's house. When I came back today, I heard my uncle and second uncle talking about you! Yunxi, are you okay?"
The worry in Yang Xiaomi's eyes was not fake, she was really worried about Shen Yunxi.
Shen Yunxi smiled and said, "Very good, much better than at the Shen family!"
Yang Xiaomi's eyes became less worried, "Show me your head. I heard that you had a big hole punched in your head!"
Yang Xiaomi was a little taller than Shen Yunxi. She looked at Shen Yunxi's head carefully and said, "It's okay, it's scabbed. I heard that Mu Chenglin treats you well. This is good. At least he left Shen Yunxi." That place that eats people!"
Yang Xiaomi read while examining Chen Yunxi's scar.
"What are you doing here?" She was also very curious. What was Shen Yunxi doing at the riverside at noon?
Shen Yunxi showed the four wild duck eggs in his pocket and said, "Come out and take a look!"
"Yunxi, don't run around casually. The water in the river is very deep. It's summer now, and there might be snakes in there!" Yang Xiaomi was not excited about seeing the duck eggs, but was concerned about Shen Yunxi's safety.
"No! Grandma defrauded Brother Mu of one hundred and twenty taels of silver. The Mu family is having a hard time now, so I just came out to see if I could find a way to make money!"
Seeing that the little girl was so anxious, Shen Yunxi explained.
"Then have you thought of a way?"
Shen Yunxi nodded, "Start with a small business first, and if it succeeds, then expand into a big one. When that happens, I will give you another recipe!"
Yang Xiaomi didn't take it to heart, but she still smiled happily and said, "Okay, Sister Xiaomi is waiting for Yun Xi's recipe to make a fortune!"
After saying that, Yang Xiaomi stuffed the package into Shen Yunxi's arms, "I heard that your grandma received so much money and gave her a few old clothes as a dowry. Here are a few clothes for me. If it’s too small, you can wear it just right.”
"My mother just baked the cakes, which are enough for you to eat for two meals. There are also a few candies here that Xiao Zhou saved. He insisted on letting me bring them to Sister Yunxi!"
Shen Yunxi's eyes were a little red. Yang Xiaomi's two uncles were both disabled. They had never been married and did not have much labor force. Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang took care of the house. The family only had enough food and clothing, but they still missed her. .
There are not many things and they are not expensive, but this love is the most rare thing!
"Okay, okay! You still have a wound on your head. Go back and rest quickly! I also went back. I haven't been back for several days. My uncle made a lot of baskets. I went to the town to sell them!"
After saying that, Yang Xiaomi turned around and went back.
Shen Yunxi returned to Mu's house with the package in her arms. On the way, she was thinking of a way to suit the life of the Yang family.
As soon as Shen Yunxi arrived home and put away the packages, she saw that Mu Chenglin was not resting either.
Shen Yunxi expressed the idea of making sauerkraut and vinegar.
Mu Chenglin doesn't understand what sauerkraut and vinegar are, but as long as he can make money, he will support Shen Yunxi.
Shen Yunxi told her the ingredients needed for sauerkraut and vinegar, and Mu Chenglin took her to the town without saying a word.
Because he had to go back yesterday, he hadn't bought the cloth Mu Mu asked him to buy for Shen Yunxi, but he happened to buy it today.
There is only one cloth seller in Lingyang Town, so the price is not cheap. Some families will go to the county town every year before the Chinese New Year to buy back the cloth they will use for the year.
Because there are many cloth shops in the county and there is a lot of competition, the prices are much cheaper than in the town.
Shen Yunxi didn't care much about the material of the clothes, because she had just inquired about it. If she really wanted to wear beautiful clothes, she didn't know how many candied haws recipe she would sell in a year.
So she chose ordinary cotton fabrics and spent one tael of silver for two pieces of clothing.
Now she finally understood why the clothes washed on the first day were all patched, and why the Shen family's expenses were so high, because the Shen family, from adults to children, had new clothes every year, and only the original owner, a child without a mother, had new clothes. Wear old ones.
After buying the cloth, they went to buy a lot of sugar and salt, because last time Mu Chenglin bought ten kilograms of sugar in one go. When the boss saw Mu Chenglin, he smiled!
"Boss, here are ten more pounds of sugar and ten more pounds of salt!" Upon hearing that there was a big deal, the boss's smile deepened.
Ten catties of sugar cost six hundred cents, and ten catties of salt cost three hundred cents, a total of nine hundred cents.
Shen Yunxi looked at it, and she knew that the sugar was extracted from honey, but the salt was coarse salt.
There are many purification recipes in her app, but now is not a good time to take them out.
After buying sugar and salt, Mu Chenglin took her to the place where ceramics were sold.
Whether you are making sauerkraut or vinegar, you need to use a clean and airtight jar.
The two of them spent a long time choosing here, and finally decided to buy a jar that was half a person's height. This jar weighed about one hundred kilograms after being filled with food and was easy to move.
However, there are not many such jars in ceramics shops. There are only two of them, each costing 200 yuan.
Shen Yunxi ordered twenty pieces on the spot, paid a deposit of one or two silver, and agreed to pick up the goods in five days.
The clerk in the ceramics shop helped carry the two jars to the entrance of the town.
"I know you!" the waiter said to Mu Chenglin and Shen Yunxi, "You are the young couple who came to sell candied haws on a stick two days ago. I heard that you invented candied haws on a stick!"
"Now that I have bought so many jars, is there any new invention?"
Shen Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at him. The guy was a little embarrassed, "Oh my, I talked too much, I'm sorry!"
"It's okay!" Shen Yunxi didn't take it to heart. The boy was just curious.
When we arrived at the town entrance, Uncle Zhao's donkey cart from the village had just arrived. Uncle Zhao's donkey cart came to the town twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.
Many people got off the donkey cart and saw Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin buying two jars.
"Yunxi, what are you doing? Are you thinking of some way to make money again?" The person who spoke was an aunt named Wu, who had never had any communication with the original owner.
"Isn't the weather about to get cold? Our family has no land, and we can't find wild vegetables in the mountains in winter, so we just want to buy two jars to pickle some pickles to survive the winter!" Shen Yunxi rolled his eyes and said everything. Already thought about it.
Mu Chenglin glanced at her and continued to move the jar to the donkey cart.
"The salt for pickling the pickles and the price of this jar are almost as much as the money you spend eating cauliflower, right? I think you have thought of some other recipe, can you hide it?"
The person who said this was Mrs. Zhu. She was exhausted by Shen Yunxi at the river that day, and she always wanted to find a time to get her place back.
"Aunt Xu, what does it have to do with you even if I have some prescription?" Shen Yunxi replied angrily, this old woman is really annoying.
"Why is it none of my business?" Aunt Xu's voice became louder. She was a little excited. When her daughter married Shen Wenjun, Shen Yunxi would call her daughter Fourth Aunt. After all, they were related. , she has a good recipe, why can’t she get a share of it?
"My prescription is my aunt's business, so can you share some of my aunt's money with me?" Shen Yunxi retorted.
Mrs. Zhu pointed at Shen Yunxi and scolded her for being shameless, "You and I are incompatible with each other. You still care about my family's money. What do you want to do with it?"
"Then Auntie is worried about my recipe, so she just wants to eat it!" Shen Yunxi replied with a smile.
There were jeers all around, and Aunt Wu was a little embarrassed when she spoke at first. Zhu pointed at Shen Yunxi, said, "Wait for me!", and walked away without looking back!
After putting the jars, sugar, salt and cloth away, Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin went to the vegetable market again. By this time, the meat stalls in the market had closed to see if there were any meat sellers in the market.
There was not much meat left in the vegetable market. There was only two kilograms of fat meat left, which was eighteen pounds a pound. It was rounded up by the two of them. There was a lot of pork belly left. Shen Yunxi also asked for a pound, fifteen pounds a pound.
Finally, I asked the boss for two smooth shaved ribs.
After buying these, Shen Yunxi proposed to go to the bookstore again and buy some pen and ink for Mu Chengjin.
"No! Ah Jin can wait for a while before buying. The books at home are enough for him to read for a long time!" Mu Chenglin rejected Shen Yunxi's proposal.
Shen Yunxi shook her head. Although she knew that Mu Chengjin had a good foundation, she could not delay his progress just because he had a good foundation.
"Brother Mu, why do we make money? It's not to make life better. Money will not make money, it will only rust!"
"Besides, it's not like we have no money now. I've come up with new ideas. Why do we have to wait any longer?"
"Now is the most critical time for Ah Jin to study. You have already delayed him for a year, so don't delay him anymore!"
After hearing what Shen Yunxi said, Mu Chenglin swallowed back what he wanted to say, "Okay, just buy some pen and ink! Let him continue to practice calligraphy!"
Shen Yunxi did not continue to insist. She did not understand the books read by the ancients. Mu Chengjin had also passed the stage of enlightenment and read more deeply. Let them worry about these by themselves!
After choosing for a long time, I finally chose the cheapest set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which also cost two taels of silver.
Shen Yunxi knew that it was not Mu Chenglin who was stingy, but that there were still many places to spend money, so if he wanted to make his family live a better life, he could only make continuous efforts.
Finally, the two of them went to the grain store and bought ten kilograms of rice. Shen Yunxi really didn't want to eat whole grains. Mu Chenglin had no objection. In fact, he and his mother and brother had eaten enough whole grains.
After buying these, Mu Chenglin took Shen Yunxi back to the donkey cart. After waiting for a while, the people who came to the town returned to the donkey cart one after another.
Because there are two more jars, the donkey cart is a little crowded.
Mrs. Zhu was very dissatisfied and wanted to kick the jar, but she was afraid that the jar would be broken and she would have to pay for it. "I said, Lao Zhao, you are too unkind. When we came just now, we only had two seats to sit comfortably." Wenqian, it’s so crowded now, you still want two pennies?” This chapter has been completed!
