When I arrived at Wang Yougen's house, I happened to meet him preparing to come out, carrying two linen bags on his shoulders.
"You two are here? I was just about to send these beans to you."
"Uncle Yougen, you collected so much?" He Yunxi was a little surprised, "This must be a hundred pounds, right?"
"Yes, there are a hundred kilograms here, and there are another hundred kilograms inside, and there are also a hundred kilograms of broad beans." Wang Yougen said, "People in the village heard about harvesting beans, and many of them sent some over. I have checked them all.
, are all good beans.”
Some time ago, many people harvested soybeans, and some planned to sell them in the town. Now they are harvesting soybeans in the village, and the price is the same as in the town, so naturally they are willing to sell them here.
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Yougen." He Yunxi said.
"What's this? Do you want to weigh yourself now?"
"We have a scale at home, let's go back and use the scale to weigh it." Nowadays, the scales are generally small. It's okay to weigh a few, but it's troublesome if you weigh more, and you have to weigh it many times.
"OK."
Lu Yan and He Yunxi each carried two bags of beans and left. When they got home, they took out the scale left by shopkeeper Yuan and weighed them. They found 210 kilograms of soybeans and 100 kilograms of broad beans. He Yunxi gave him thirty-one copper coins.
Wang Yougen was a little embarrassed when he took the money. He was just helping to buy some beans, so how could he charge them thirty cents? When he got home, he was still a little worried. Xiao Huang said, "Boss Lu and his wife want to help us."
"Then this..."
"They insist on giving it, so let's just take it. If there is anything later, just help them." Xiao Huang thought more clearly and advised.
"Okay, then you need to see more about what they need. If there is nothing else, our family has the strength." Wang Yougen gave the money to Xiao Huang, "You keep the money, and you should give it to Erniu and the others in two years."
Kissed."
On the Lu family's side, He Yunxi was also checking the beans. Just as Wang Yougen said, they were all good. After soaking the beans for the next day, she went to tinker with the broad beans.
"Lu Yan, I remembered that we don't have that many dustpans at home, and there aren't enough drying broad beans in the back."
"The second brother is here. I'll chop the bamboo and let the second brother make the weaving." Lu Yan took the machete and went out. After a while, he came back after cutting a few bamboos. Then he took Lu Ming out and asked him to sit in the yard and make a dustpan.
.
Lu Ming had not been out since he broke his leg. He had asked Lu Yan to come out to the yard to get some fresh air, but Lu Yan refused without hesitation.
Now, for the sake of his sister-in-law's dustpan, he finally came out for some air.
"Sister-in-law, how much do you want?" Lu Ming asked.
"I want as much as you can make." He Yunxi said, "We will all need it later."
"Okay. Leave it to me." Lu Ming smiled.
Lu Ming looked a lot whiter after not being exposed to the sun for ten days. This smile gave him the feeling of a sunny boy.
Speaking of which, Lu Yan and Lu Ming are brothers, but they don't look alike. Lu Yan is more like the Liu family, more delicate and handsome. And Lu Ming probably followed their father, who is rough and crazy.
of handsomeness.
Anyway, they all look good.
He Yunxi had nothing to do now, so he just sat in the yard and stared at the beans.
When Lu Yan came out of the study room, he saw her sighing at Douzi, looking unwilling and confused.
"What are you thinking about?" Lu Yan asked him.
He Yunxi looked up at him and said, "I want to make something, but thinking about what you said, I'm hesitant whether to do it or not."
As soon as Lu Yan heard this, he knew that she had thought of something again, and it was related to soybeans.
Looking at her tangled look, it must be rare.
After a moment of silence, he asked: "What do you want to do?"
He Yunxi stood up, pulled him back to the study, and whispered: "I want to make soybean oil and soy sauce."
"Soybean oil? Soy sauce?"
"Soybean oil is just like the clear oil in town. Last time I looked at it, I didn't know what it was made of. It cost dozens of dollars per pound. I've smelled it, and it's not very fragrant. As for soybean oil, it's good for cooking."
He Yunxi explained.
"What about soy sauce? Is it also clear oil?"
"No. Soy sauce is just like the meat soy sauce we eat now. It is salty and used for seasoning." He Yunxi said, "Both of these can be made from beans. If made, the cost should not be very high."
Lu Yan looked at her: "You really want to do it?"
He Yunxi nodded: "I want to eat vegetables fried in clear oil, and I also want to be free from soy sauce. In addition, I also want to make vinegar. It's really sad to live without seasoning."
Lu Yan: "..."
After a moment of silence, he said: "If you can make it for yourself, then do it. If you want to do business in the future, wait until we are able to do it."
"Okay!" He Yunxi got his permission and was instantly happy.
Lu Yan was a little curious: "In your place, can these be known casually?"
"Yes, these are everywhere on the Internet. Just search for what you want to do." He Yunxi said, "And not only are there texts, but there are also many who specialize in video work."
"Online? Video?"
"The Internet... is just like your bookstore here. The methods are recorded in the book and then placed in the bookstore. Everyone can read it. Video is a thing that records people's behavior. You can imagine it as live teaching.
." He Yunxi explained to him in an easy-to-understand manner.
Lu Yan was greatly shocked, and after a while he said: "If these are announced, won't everyone do it?"
"No. Everyone has their own things to do. The money you make from doing this is not as good as working, so you just treat it as leisure. Professional things are still done by specialized people." He Yunxi said, "I'll go and do it first.
Put some vinegar on it, it will be worth buying all this glutinous rice."
After saying that, she went out to do some work.
"Your place... is really magical." Lu Yan muttered to himself as he looked at her back.
He couldn't imagine what kind of world she lived in, and he couldn't even understand why she could still be so optimistic after coming from such a world to such a poor home.
To make glutinous rice vinegar, you need to soak the glutinous rice for more than ten hours. After soaking the glutinous rice, she pounded the beans, took ten kilograms, washed them, put them in a pot to dry at low temperature, then took out a pair of nests and pounded them all into
When it becomes cake-like, pour it aside.
By the time all the beans were pounded, it was almost dark.
He Yunxi asked Lu Yunjiao to make dinner. She took the bean cakes to a pot and dried them at low temperature, then steamed them. After steaming, she found some hay and intertwined them together and put them in a small circle that Lu Ming devalued. Then she put the bean cakes in
Once it's almost filled, twist the hay together and compact it tightly to make a large bean cake.
After all the bean cakes were made, He Yunxi stacked them together, fixed them with a few sticks, and started beating them with a hammer borrowed from the village chief's family.
He Yunxi was very strong, and after a while, he saw yellow oil starting to drip out from around the bean cake.
