"I made one, and it was a success." He Yunxi said, "The cost is very low, not counting labor, it only costs three to four hundred cents."
"You can make a kang with three to four hundred yuan?" Wang Yuyan asked.
"Yes, the mud I used on the bottom and the bricks on the top are free of charge, but the bricks on top need to be purchased, which cost more than 300 yuan. However, my kang is large. If there are few people, it can be less. The cost
It can be even lower," He Yunxi said.
Luo Zixuan's eyes lit up: "Can I go visit it?"
"Okay." He Yunxi said, "I think if a family can have a kang, they won't freeze to death this winter."
"Then let's go take a look now?" Luo Zixuan couldn't wait to take a look.
He Yunxi saw that it was almost time for Pei Yuan's appointment and said, "Okay."
"Sir," the guard shouted from outside, "There are people beating drums in front of you to complain."
Luo Zixuan had a trace of regret on his face and said, "It seems I can't go today. I'll go again tomorrow morning."
He Yunxi also knew that those who beat drums and voice grievances must go to court, so he nodded and said, "You can go tomorrow, and you can try the newly made sauce."
Luo Zixuan's eyes lit up: "Can it be done tomorrow?"
"Yes, this is very fast. Because all the necessary things are ready, you just need to fry it again, so it won't take long." He Yunxi said.
"Then tomorrow..."
"Sir!" the voice outside urged, Luo Zixuan said to Wang Yuyan and He Yunxi: "Then I will go first."
"Ms. sir, walk slowly."
"Sir, walk slowly."
Wang Yuyan and He Yunxi saluted and sent the person away.
After Luo Zixuan left, Wang Yuyan said somewhat speechlessly: "My husband, he is still so unstable when he meets someone he likes."
"This is also human nature." He Yunxi said with a smile.
He Yunxi sat for a while and was about to leave. Wang Yuyan asked her: "Stay a little longer?"
He Yunxi said: "I'm going to buy some cloth, cotton, etc., and go back to make some thick clothes and quilts for the little ones. And I also made an appointment with an elder, who should pick me up at the back door now."
When she said this, Wang Yuyan couldn't keep her anymore, so he personally sent her to the back door and said, "If it's okay, I'll tell my husband tomorrow and I'll go to your place too."
"Okay, I will sweep the couch to welcome you." He Yunxi responded, "Okay, Sister Wang, just come here."
She was the county magistrate's wife, so she was not allowed to escort him outside.
Wang Yuyan stopped going, but she still watched He Yunxi open the door and go out. When closing the door, she glanced at the driver on the carriage outside.
She felt that the coachman seemed familiar, so she took another look. The coachman was very fast. He Yunxi got on and drove away with the carriage.
Strange, how could she think a man looked familiar?
"Madam, let's go back." Xia Chan reminded her when she saw her standing there.
Wang Yuyan found it a bit funny. She had not seen many men, and it was even less likely that she had seen the men here. "Let's go, I'm a little tired, go back and take a nap."
…
He Yunxi went to the clothing store and bought a lot of thicker fabrics, and also bought some cotton and elastic cotton batting. Cotton is more expensive now, cotton alone costs fifty cents per pound, and elastic cotton costs four pounds per bed.
She was asked for 300 yuan for a bed. She bought some more cloth to make sheets and quilt covers, so it cost 400 to 500 yuan per bed.
Alas, better cloth in this era is really expensive!
She bought two more sets of thicker clothes for Pei Yuan. Now that the weather is cold, he still wears the clothes she bought for him before.
After all these purchases, He Yunxi spent five or six taels of silver.
After putting all the things in the carriage, she asked Pei Yuan to take her to the market and bought some meat, as well as twenty half-sized chickens and twenty half-sized ducks.
Pei Yuan hung the chicken and duck cages on both sides of the carriage in disgust and took the carriage back.
When he arrived at Fengyu Town, He Yunxi first went to Lijia Village and took some black beans back.
Liu Yan's second batch of tempeh has been prepared.
After the first batch of tempeh was ready, He Yunxi asked Liu Yan to make more. The tempeh tasted good and she would not worry about selling it in the future, so she made a lot this time.
He Yunxi asked for tempeh, and Liu Yan filled a large bag for her. He Yunxi took the tempeh, some green onions, and some celery.
After returning home, she took some dried chili peppers and chopped them, then fried the onions, ginger, garlic, celery and spices in oil until fragrant, then put the black beans in, and then added the chili peppers and fried them together. When they were almost fried, turn off the
Add salt and other seasonings to the fire.
In this way, a homemade version of Lao Gan Ma is ready.
Then she made another one with minced meat in it, which tasted even more delicious.
The little guys smelled the fragrance and didn't want to do the work they were doing. However, Mrs. Liu still restrained them from coming over.
Now that Mrs. Liu is in good health, she has the energy to take care of her children. She needs to learn what she needs to learn and pay attention to the etiquette that needs to be paid attention to.
Thinking of meat sauce, He Yunxi steamed two large white steamed buns, fried a fungus, lettuce and meat slices, and cooked an egg and vegetable soup that night.
I prepared some and sent them to Pei Yuan, and then asked everyone to start dinner.
"Ah, dinner is finally served! I'm so hungry!" Lu Yunjiao said, touching her belly.
"That's right, what did sister-in-law make that tastes so good?" Lu Yunqing climbed to the table and sat down, and saw tonight's new food at a glance.
"This is spicy meat sauce. It goes well with steamed buns and rice." He Yunxi said, "Come and try it."
She broke open the steamed bun, put some spicy meat sauce in it, and handed it to Mrs. Liu.
Ms. Liu is now very good at eating spicy food. She took the steamed bun and took a bite. Her taste buds were immediately amazed by the taste of the spicy meat sauce.
"What is this made of? It tastes strange and fragrant."
"The black beans inside are called tempeh, and I brought them from my parents' house," He Yunxi said.
"I want to try it too." Lu Yunjiao took a steamed bun, scooped out a spoonful of spicy meat sauce, and ate it. "This is really delicious. It's more fragrant than red chili sauce."
"Of course. There are a lot of seasonings in it." He Yunxi said, "When cooking the black batter, put a little in, and the black batter will be delicious."
"Then let's eat black dough tomorrow, sister-in-law." Lu Yunqing said.
"Okay." He Yunxi was very satisfied with her.
…
Luo Zixuan didn't come the next day. He Yunxi went to find someone to repair the chicken coop and duck shed. Because there were so many people looking for it, the repairs were completed in two days. Then he put the chickens and ducks that were frightened by Bai Yin and Lightning on the mountain.
A high fence is built around the chicken coop and duck shed, so that when the chickens grow up, they will not be afraid of flying out, and at the same time, it can prevent people from coming in and stealing.
Almost five days had passed, and He Yunxi was planning to enter the city for the second time, when Luo Zixuan and Wang Yuyan arrived.
