Shen Yunxi was amused by Xia Yifan's actions, "Boss Xia, this is not how fans eat. Let me use your kitchen!"
Chen Yunxi and Yang Xiaomi took the fans to the back kitchen of Qingfeng Building. She first found a basin and soaked the fans in clean water.
For the first dish, Shen Yunxi planned to make shredded pork vermicelli soup. This dish was an imitation of beef vermicelli soup, but there was too little beef here, so Shen Yunxi replaced it with pork.
Pork ribs soup is always prepared in the kitchen. Shen Yunxi directed Yang Xiaomi to cut the meat into shreds and add some seasonings to stir-fry until fragrant.
Add the soaked vermicelli in the pork ribs soup, cook for a few minutes and remove the vermicelli from the soup. Finally, cover the vermicelli with shredded pork and sprinkle with chopped green onion.
The second dish is the garlic vermicelli stew. Wash the cabbage leaves and put them at the bottom of the pot. Place the soaked vermicelli on the cabbage leaves. Cut the bacon into cubes and put it on the vermicelli. Add the chili and ginger slices and stir-fry until fragrant. Minced garlic, etc., add water to the pot and cook for a few minutes, then sprinkle with chopped green onion.
Shen Yunxi said that it would be better if there is a casserole, so that when serving, the pot is served directly without damaging the presentation.
The third dish is steamed shrimp with garlic vermicelli. Mu Chenglin went to the river to catch the shrimp early in the morning. The quantity is not large, just enough to make a dish.
Add oil to the pot. When the oil is hot, add minced garlic, salt and chili. Open the backs of the shrimp and remove the shrimp lines. This step is completed with the help of the chef of Qingfenglou.
Place the soaked vermicelli at the bottom of the plate, spread it out, place the shrimps one by one on top of the vermicelli, and pour the fried garlic on the backs of the shrimps.
Start steaming after the water in the pot boils. Steam for a few minutes and then simmer. Sprinkle with chopped green onion and drizzle with hot oil.
The last two dishes are hot and sour noodles and minced pork vermicelli. Shen Yunxi said that these two dishes require vinegar and soy sauce respectively, and they are currently unable to make them.
Xia Yifan tasted all three dishes. The vermicelli has a smooth texture, and the fried shredded pork is paired with bone soup, which is especially suitable for eating in winter.
The second dish, vermicelli with fried garlic and the salty aroma of bacon, makes people want to eat it and can't stop eating.
The third dish completely opened up a new world of shrimp eating. He had never thought that shrimps could be eaten like this. The shrimps were full of garlic sauce and had no fishy smell at all. They were all about the sweetness of the shrimps and were paired with the shrimp juice. The garlic juice penetrates into the vermicelli below, and the vermicelli is also full of such fragrance.
There is also the hot and sour rice noodles mentioned by Shen Yunxi. As soon as the name is heard, one knows that it is delicious. In addition to the five dishes mentioned by Shen Yunxi, he believes that there are more ways for fans to eat it.
More importantly, it can preserve crops like sweet potatoes and potatoes for a long time.
Xia Yifan thought very far and decided to tell his father the news.
After tasting the vermicelli, the three of them returned to the second floor.
"Tell me, how do fans plan to sell it?" Xia Yifan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and asked.
"Fifty cents per catty, no two prices!" Shen Yunxi said the number he had thought of in advance, and Yang Xiaomi on the side was shocked.
Xia Yifan raised his head. If the price was so expensive, it would really not be in line with his previous thoughts!
"Because there are very few finished products and the process is very long, a lot of energy is spent in the process. We have calculated that one hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes can only produce a dozen kilograms of vermicelli."
"Taking into account the price of sweet potatoes, manpower and material resources, and possible losses during the production process, this price is considered a friendly price!"
Xia Yifan lowered his head, tapped a few on the table with his fingers, then raised his head and said, "What if I provide these sweet potatoes? I'll sell them to you for a penny a pound!"
Shen Yunxi quickly calculated in his mind that one hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes would probably cost fifteen kilograms of vermicelli. The raw material cost was one hundred cents. If the vermicelli sold for twenty cents per catty, he would earn about two hundred cents. .
But with one hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes, the two uncles of the Yang family, Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang will have to work for several days, and the yard of the Yang family needs to be tidied up again.
But if there is a steady demand from Xia Yifan, this can be considered. After all, the production process of fans takes more time to dry.
"If Boss Xia customizes more, we can lower the price." Shen Yunxi said, if Xia Yifan is not so interested in fans, she will not be willing to negotiate the price. When she gets her duck blood fans in the future, You can also sell fans.
"Well, I'll still provide you with the sweet potatoes that cost one cent per pound, but I only need ten pounds of vermicelli every day. After I report this to my father, how about we renegotiate the price?" Xia Yifan thought for a while and said.
What he first considered was that high-yielding crops like sweet potatoes and potatoes could be made into dry goods that could be used as grain storage. However, he did not expect that one hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes could only make a dozen kilograms of vermicelli.
Shen Yunxi didn't expect that a fan could make Xia Yifan so entangled, but now that the price has been agreed upon, it's easy to talk about it.
Xia Yifan then drew up a contract, temporarily buying fans at a purchase price of 50 cents per catty, and he would have people bring the sweet potatoes to the Yang family the day after tomorrow.
At the same time, Xia Yifan also gave one hundred taels of the recipe provided by Shen Yunxi, and also bought the hot and sour noodles and minced meat vermicelli in advance that could not be made due to lack of materials.
The fans' problem was solved, and Yang Xiaomi, holding the contract in his arms, felt like he was in a dream.
Just when Xia Yifan thought their trip was coming to an end, Shen Yunxi mysteriously took out a small jar and a small bowl.
She opened the jar, poured some rice wine into it and gave it to Xia Yifan, "Boss Xia, this is the rice wine I brewed from glutinous rice these days. Try it!"
"Rice wine?" Xia Yifan took the small bowl curiously, smelled it first, and then took a sip.
The aroma is soft, soft in the mouth, and the aftertaste is pleasant. The taste is a little sour and a little sweet, and there is a fragrance of rice.
Xia Yifan nodded with satisfaction, "How many good things are packed in your little head!" Boss Xia joked.
This kind of wine is not very strong, but it is suitable for girls to drink. If it is sent to the capital, it will definitely become a hot commodity among noble women.
"If Boss Xia is interested in rice wine, I will improve it and make it into sweet-scented osmanthus-flavored rice wine when I get back." Seeing Xia Yifan's satisfied look, Shen Yunxi said.
"Osmanthus flavor?"
"That's right, the osmanthus flowers on the mountain are ripe now. It's a good time to make osmanthus rice wine. After drinking it, the fragrance will still linger on your lips and teeth!"
Xia Yifan wondered if Shen Yunxi had just seen through his inner thoughts, so he deliberately proposed the osmanthus-flavored rice wine at this time.
But he is indeed very interested. If Shen Yunxi can really make osmanthus-flavored rice wine, and he can package it in beautiful bottles and send it to the capital, he will definitely make a lot of money.
Since Xia Yifan was so interested, Shen Yunxi decided to encourage the villagers to go to the mountains to pick sweet-scented osmanthus tomorrow. There have been fewer wild duck eggs in the past few days, and the villagers have free time again!
Finally, before leaving, Shen Yunxi told Xia Yifan that she had brought half a jar of sauerkraut and left it on the carriage today, but more would not be enough, and Xia Yifan would have to wait.
After Shen Yunxi left, Xia Yifan fell into deep thought. This little girl brought him more and more surprises!
He knew Mu Chenglin, there couldn't be so many recipes, otherwise the Mu family would have come up with them long ago!
Some time ago, he investigated this young couple and learned about what happened to the Shen family and the Mu family in Qingmu Village. He also knew that Shen Yunxi's mother, the Su family, was mysterious. However, no one knew the origin of the Su family. Even the Shen family was sold off. He also tracked down some of Su's jewelry, but he could only tell that it was from the previous dynasty, but he could not tell the others.
There had been a hundred years of war between the previous dynasty and the Xia Kingdom, and these jewelry had passed through many hands, so it was impossible to identify Su's true identity.
But he must seize talents like Shen Yunxi. Whether she sells these recipes to him or she sets up her own business in the future, he will support her.
As long as these can bring benefits to the people of Xia Kingdom, Xia Yifan and the people behind him will support her unconditionally.
After coming out of Qingfeng Tower, Yang Xiaomi dared to speak to Shen Yunxi, "Yunxi, did I remember correctly? Is it really fifty cents a pound?"
"That's right, that's right! But Xiaomi, when you go back, you need to tidy up the yard at home, and separate the areas for drying pulp, drying powder, and drying vermicelli. If there is not enough space, you need to expand the yard!"
"Also, the way I told you this time, the fans made by this method don't look very good and are rather messy. I have a better method, and I will teach you later. In the future, the fans made by this method will look better. Sell it for a hundred cents a pound."
Yang Xiaomi covered her mouth in excitement, but she quickly accepted the fact that the fans' approach was unique in the entire Daxia Kingdom. Yun Xi said that things are rare and expensive, and it is not worth selling them at this price. What the heck!
You know, if Qingfenglou does a little processing, the price can be doubled several times!
Seeing that Yang Xiaomi didn't make a fuss, Shen Yunxi nodded in praise. Shen Yunxi took Yang Xiaomi to the blacksmith shop where he customized several graters, colanders, and a special grater.
Then the two people didn't waste any time and returned directly from the town to the village.
When I arrived at the Yang family, I told the Yang family all this. The two uncles of the Yang family, Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang were all extremely excited. Shen Yunxi and Yang Xiaomi planned the division of the yard together.
Shen Yunxi said that making fans in the yard is just a temporary measure. When he has money in the future, he can buy some land nearby and build a workshop. When his family is too busy, he can ask for help.
After finishing these, Shen Yunxi went back. When the Yang family had dried sweet potato starch later, she would teach them how to make neat vermicelli.
Back at Mu's house, Shen Yunxi gave one hundred taels to Mu Chenglin, and at the same time told Mu Chenglin about Xia Yifan's attitude towards rice wine. Mu Chenglin expressed his approval. He had once been selfish about this brewing recipe. But in the past few days, he also figured out that Shen Yunxi could make rice wine and other more delicious wines.
Now that the number of wild duck eggs has decreased, the family is not so busy. After dinner, Shen Yunxi went to the village chief and asked the village chief to help spread the word that the Mu family wanted to purchase sweet-scented osmanthus.
The sweet-scented osmanthus should be clean, not the dirty ones. A pound of sweet-scented osmanthus costs ten cents, so you can charge as much as you can.
If there are too many osmanthus harvested, she will make osmanthus jam, which can be eaten at home for a long time.
For a time, every household ran to the mountains. They spread their old clothes under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, then climbed up the tree and shook them, and finally cleared away the debris bit by bit.
When Mrs. Shen heard that Shen Yunxi had come up with another new trick, she stood at the door of her house and spat in the direction of the Mu family.
The next day, the Xia family's carriage first went to the Yang family and unloaded a hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes, and then went to the Mu family to pull goods. This scene was seen by many people!
The Yang family must have started doing business with the Xia family now. Yang Xiaomi of the Yang family is on good terms with Shen Yunxi. This recipe from the Yang family was most likely given by Shen Yunxi!
Old Mrs. Shen couldn't sit still anymore. She ran directly to the field ridge, facing the direction of the Mu family, and kept saying all kinds of swear words. If she hadn't suffered too much recently, she really wanted to eat Shen Yunxi to vent her hatred.
In the Yang family's yard, sweet potato starch began to dry out bit by bit, and after a few days, a bunch of things that looked like noodles but were not noodles were dried out.
The Xia family's carriage went to the Yang family every day, and the Yang family always had smiles on their faces.
Old Mrs. Shen and Old Man Shen finally couldn't sit still anymore. Together, they decided to go to Mu's house to find Shen Yunxi.
She can give prescriptions to the Yang family, why can't she help her parents' family?
But Mrs. Shen still failed to find Shen Yunxi in the end because Shen Wenjun was back!
When it was time to go to Xiu Mu, Shen Zhenyu didn't follow either. Shen Wenjun's clothes were wrinkled and his whole person looked unusually haggard. It was obvious that something had happened.
Mrs. Shen quickly pulled Shen Wenjun back to the room, "Son, what happened to you?"
Old Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Wenjun's appearance and asked distressedly. Shen Wenjun was a little impatient, "Mom, give me one hundred taels of silver."
"One hundred taels? What do you want so much money for?" Mrs. Shen's heart trembled. Could it be that Shen Wenjun encountered some difficulties outside?
"Stop asking, just give me a hundred taels!" Shen Wenjun urged directly.
"But you also know the situation at home. If I give you one hundred taels, I won't even have money for the New Year this year!" Mrs. Shen persuaded.
Shen Wenjun was filled with hatred in his heart. Mrs. Shen still had two hundred taels left as a dowry for Shen Xiujuan, and she believed Mrs. Liu and married off Shen Yunxi, a money-making treasure.
Otherwise, if he asks for one hundred taels now, will Mrs. Shen refuse to give it?
"Mom, I'm really in a hurry. Don't worry, I will pay you back later!" Thinking of what happened last night, Shen Wenjun felt that he had been insulted like never before, so he came back today to ask for the money. The place is back.
Although Mrs. Shen didn't know what Shen Wenjun wanted the money for, but seeing his appearance, she still hesitated for a long time and carefully handed the one hundred taels to Shen Wenjun.
"Son! When you encounter difficulties, just tell mother that you should take these one hundred taels first!"
After Shen Wenjun got the money, he left without saying hello to the rest of the family. Mrs. Shen didn't catch up even if she wanted to.
Shen Wenjun didn't even change his clothes and returned to the place where he suffered a loss yesterday, the underground casino in Lingyang Town.
Yesterday, he had dinner at Qingfeng Building and met two people on his way back. They sang and told him that there was a good place to make money.
Only when he got there did he realize that the place they were talking about making money was an underground casino.
Shen Wenjun originally didn't want to touch them, but he couldn't stand the sarcasm of these two people and couldn't lose face, so he had to go in with them. This chapter has been completed!
