"Counting the pot and the water inside, it's thirty-one kilograms. Excluding these, this konjac tofu should weigh twenty-eight or nine kilograms." Pei Yuan said, "How much fresh konjac did you use before?"
"It's almost five pounds." He Yunxi said.
"It actually grew so much in the end!" Pei Yuan sighed.
"This growth rate is not bad." He Yunxi was very satisfied, "Let's make konjac roasted duck tonight, okay?"
"Okay, okay! Sister-in-law, I'm going to the village to buy ducks," Lu Yunjiao said.
"There are so many of us, so we need to buy a bigger one." He Yunxi gave her some copper coins.
"Okay, I know!"
"Sister-in-law, I'm going too!"
"I'll go too."
Lu Yunjiao went out with the basket, and the two little guys ran after her.
He Yunxi looked at the three little guys who were becoming more and more cheerful, with smiles in his eyes.
In the evening, He Yunxi cooked a large pot of konjac and roasted duck. While cooking the duck, she put pancakes around the pot. When the duck was cooked, the crispy and fragrant pancakes would be ready.
Almost everyone's first choice is konjac, wanting to see if it tastes good.
It looked dark and not delicious. But He Yunxi's products were all high-quality, so they still believed in her.
Sure enough, when a piece of konjac was put into the mouth, everyone was immediately conquered by the chewy and spicy taste.
"It's delicious! I have never eaten anything with this kind of texture. If it were sold outside, it would definitely be sold out."
"This konjac oil tastes better when it is large, but many people can't afford this kind of food. If it is boiled in plain water, the taste will be much worse," He Yunxi said.
"In the face of poverty, it's good to have food." Lu Yan said, "Those people don't care whether it tastes good or not, as long as they can survive."
"That's right." He Yunxi sighed.
"But, can this thing be stored?"
"It can't be kept for too long. However, konjac can be made into dried konjac and then ground into powder. When the time comes to eat konjac tofu, just use the dry powder to make it." He Yunxi said, "So, in the future, we may
I have to spend my time digging konjac and making dried konjac.”
"It's deep in the mountains and you can't go alone." Lu Yan said, "I'll take a few more days off..."
"It's not good if you always ask for leave." He Yunxi said, "Master and I can just dig it up and come back."
"We can make dried konjac at home." Ms. Liu said, "But we haven't done it before. We need Yunxi to teach us."
"Okay." He Yunxi said, "But in this case, we may have to build a drying room."
The weather is much cooler now. If we rely on natural sun drying, we won't have enough time, and there won't be enough dustpans for drying.
"If mom wants to do this, I need to make you a pair of gloves first." He Yunxi said, "This konjac is poisonous. If you touch it directly, it will make your hands uncomfortable."
"OK."
Lu Ming looked up from the bowl: "Sister-in-law, we can also help! Although I can't move, I can still cut things."
"Sister-in-law, you and I can do it too." Lu Yunjiao also asked to join.
"Okay, you can do whatever you want." He Yunxi smiled, "With your help, I don't have to hire anyone."
Even so, He Yunxi still planned to make less yuba in the past two days, and asked Xiao Huang and Widow Liu to help make it.
Having made up their minds, He Yunxi and the others went into the mountain again early the next morning.
Originally, He Yunxi did not plan to take Liang Jinxi with him on this trip, but Liang Jinxi insisted on going and said that he could also help dig up konjac, so He Yunxi finally took him with him.
Liang Jinxi's status is unusual at first glance. If he could work more and understand the hardships of the people, it might be a good thing for him.
This time they brought some food and went directly to the valley. They arrived that afternoon and dug half an acre of land before dark.
On the second day, Lu Yan and Pei Yuan dug some and then started to move back. He Yunxi and Liang Jinxi stayed to dig.
Liang Jinxi said that he would help dig, and He Yunxi really let him dig. He only let him rest when he was too tired.
Liang Jinxi put the hoe on the ground, sat directly on the hoe handle, and gasped, "I never knew digging the ground was so hard."
He Yunxi handed him a water bag. He was so thirsty that he took it and drank two big gulps.
He Yunxi continued to dig and said while digging: "Every walk of life in the world has its own hardships. Farmers work hard, businessmen work hard, and being an official seems easy. You don't have to face the loess and turn your back to the sky, but you have to deal with it well.
Things that are responsibilities are also very hard. Even the emperor, who seems to be supreme and has the power of life and death for countless people, also has his own hard work."
"Is it hard for the emperor too?"
"Of course! Unless he is a foolish emperor who ignores government affairs all day long and only pursues pleasure. For any emperor who is a little better, political affairs are definitely indispensable. The country is so big, there are many things for him to worry about.
Lungs." He Yunxi sighed.
Not sure what came to mind, Liang Jinxi snorted coldly: "The most ruthless emperor's family."
He Yunxi was startled. This boy was born into an imperial family?
She looked into the eyes that suddenly became cold and said: "If you want to wear his crown, you must receive his weight. People from the imperial family have power, money, support, and influence the life and death of others. If you gain a lot, you will lose a lot.
There are many. But the common people have all kinds of warmth, but they have to work hard for daily food and clothing."
"Yeah……"
"Of course, there are no absolutes in everything. The emperor's family may not always be free of true love, and the common people's family may not always be warm." He Yunxi said, "You have to believe that no matter what kind of life you live, you have something that belongs to you.
Happiness and warmth.”
"But, if possible, I would rather choose simple happiness."
No intrigues, no false flattery, no life or death.
"There is no way around this. Reincarnation is a technical job." He Yunxi sighed, "You have already been born in this kind of environment, so don't think about what will happen in another situation. If you can't avoid it, you have to endure it. You are now
All you can do is go further on the road you are on now. Thinking too much will only make you more troubled."
Liang Jinxi lowered his eyes.
Isn't it?
He has been thinking about those family ties, but others don't. Others only want his life and his position.
The royal family was ruthless. He didn't believe it before and almost paid the price with his life for it.
He Yunxi didn't know his identity or what happened to him. Seeing his silence, he said, "Actually, you can think about it the other way around."
"Think about it the other way around?"
"Yes, you can also think about the same thing. If you lose something, you will gain something." He Yunxi said, "If you lose something somewhere, you will gain something somewhere. You may have experienced many hardships on this trip, but you must have experienced a lot of hardships."
