Rebirth and farming: the prosperous days of the eldest sister of Nongmen

Chapter 4 Plum Cucumber and Plum Radish

Just after the autumn harvest, everyone was recuperating at home. Ye Xing and Wang asked the villagers to help build a new house in the village with five taels of silver.

Ye Tao will grow up sooner or later, Ye Xing persuaded Wang to give them a bedroom each, seeing Ye Xing's behavior when they separated, Wang now trusts Ye Xing very much.

The house in the country is not so detailed, and it was completed in less than a week, even the vegetable field and chicken pen behind the house were circled.Ye Xing took Wang's Ye Tao and moved out of Ye's house on a rainy day. Ye Wan and Li didn't want to see the food being removed, so they hid in the room and sulked.Ye An and his wife stood at the door with their hands tied and watched, and it was difficult for the villagers to come forward to help.

Ye Tao ran with her mother and sister on her short legs. When the move was over, she didn't know whether it was sweat or rain on her face.Fearing that her daughter would catch a cold, Wang rushed to the kitchen to light a fire to cook ginger soup and bath water, while Ye Xing tapped Ye Tao's forehead and whispered, "Naughty, today is a good day to move to a new house. Rain can't do this anymore."

After all three members of the family took a steaming hot bath, each of them drank a bowl of ginger soup. There was a burning smell in their throats, and the whole body of the three warmed up.

"Mom, we only have 20 taels of silver left after building this house. Although we still have some rice at home, it's not a long-term solution. We have to find another way to make money." Ye Xing said, counting the money in the money box.

Wang motioned for the two of them to speak softly, and she quietly took out a new pair of shoes, and removed the thread ends. There were actually a few small silver corners hidden inside, and there were about three taels after calculation.

Ye Xing looked at the broken silver horns and saw her mother's rough hands. Her eyes were a little wet, and she leaned her head on Wang's shoulder and said, "Mother, I thought of a new way to make money. In the future, you Don't work so hard anymore."

"What way?"

"Let's make some snacks. When you came back from the city, didn't you always say that the rich people in the city like to go to Goulan Washe to listen to operas and books? The food there must be very good!"

Ye Xing expressed all the thoughts hidden in her heart after the time travel, "We have no connections now, and we don't have much spare money. I will make two simple ones to sell first. It doesn't matter if the money is low. The important thing is to get along with them." Get in touch!"

Wang Shi saw Ye Xing's eyes brighten when she said this, and she couldn't help being infected by Ye Xing's words, and she repeatedly agreed.

Ye Xing is a person who does what he says, and the next day she bought some plums from the peddler, and found two cucumbers and a radish at home.

Ye Xing wanted to make plum tomatoes, which were once popular on the Internet, but unfortunately, the products of this dynasty were similar to those of the Song Dynasty, and there were no exotic fruits such as tomatoes introduced in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.But Ye Xing is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt. She thought that the cucumbers and radishes at home could be used instead.

Autumn radish itself has a strong smell, and eating it raw is easy to feel like eating vegetables. Ye Xing decided to deal with the radish first.She first cut the radish into finger-length thin strips, and the radish strips were still lying straight in the bowl.Ye Xing sprinkled the salt in the bowl finely, and mixed it evenly with his hands to ensure that each radish sticks with salt.

It will take some time for the radish to come out of the water, and Ye Xing starts to process the cucumber.Different from the radish, Ye Xing directly cuts the cucumber into half-centimeter-thick discs. In order to better sell the plum cucumber, Ye Xing cuts a square in the middle of the cucumber disc, making it in the shape of copper coins.

Cucumber copper coins are piled up in the bowl like a cornucopia. If Ye Xing wants it to be light brown, it will look more like plum water if it is poured in!

After the pickled plums are boiled in water, the plums sold in the country are sour and salty but not sweet enough. Ye Xing adds some sugar to neutralize the taste. When the soup in the pot changes color, Ye Xing pours out the plums together with the soup. Let cool.

Ye Tao could smell the sweet and sour smell coming from the kitchen from a long distance away, she couldn't help drooling, she ran to the kitchen and looked up at Ye Xing eagerly.

Ye Xing picked up a leftover plum and stuffed it into her small mouth, and said with a smile: "Take this and eat it for fun, and I'll eat it for you when it's ready."

But Ye Tao waited and waited until the plum soup was cold after dinner, and only waited until her sister poured the plum soup into the cucumber bowl and the re-washed radish bowl, but was told to wait.

Ye Tao kept remembering this and fell asleep, but the next day she got up early and took Ye Xing to see Huamei cucumber and Huamei carrot.

Cucumbers in the shape of copper coins soaked in light brown plum soup are more realistic. After the water comes out, the soft radish sticks are like gauze wandering in the water. The fragrance of the ingredients and the salty sweetness of the plums are well balanced in the water. At the same time, Ye Tao narrowed his eyes satisfied as soon as he ate it, and kept yelling that he wanted to eat more.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang felt more confident. After lunch, Ye Xing and Ye Tao took Ye Tao to Fucheng.

Tong’s house is also one of the best in Fucheng. It has everything you need for listening to books, watching operas and acrobatics. Those who are rich in the city will have long-term private rooms on the second floor. Look at the first floor, so the snacks inside are also selling very well.

The three of Ye Xing were dressed in simple clothes, and when they walked to the door of Washe with a basket, they were noticed by the shop assistants.

"Go, go, not everyone can enter here." Tong's house is bustling, and the staff can see people begging here every day, so they think Ye Xing and the others are too.

Ye Xing was not angry, but smiled and said: "We are not beggars, this time we made some fresh food to sell, can you pass it on?"

After speaking, Ye Xing opened the basket and showed it to the clerk. The clerk was a little hesitant when he smelled the sweet and sour smell in it. It was really that the three of them were poorly dressed. eat.

During the stalemate, a voice suddenly called this guy.

"What are you still doing standing there? My mouth is dry and I still haven't brought you tea?" The storyteller was wearing an old robe, and complained in his mouth: "The plums that have been delivered recently are either too salty or too sweet. I feel refreshed, but my throat will become unbearable if I eat a few more."

Ye Xing reacted quickly, she quickly went around the buddy and took out the plum radish in the basket to the storyteller.

"Try it, this is the plum radish I made, I promise you won't feel thirsty after eating it."

Mr. Storyteller smelled the sweet and sour taste, and he was slurring for a while. He twisted a radish stick and put it in his mouth to chew.Since the radish strips are watered out with salt, the radish flavor inside is also removed a lot, and the plum soup soaked overnight, the mouthful is full of the sweet and sour taste of the plum, and the crisp taste jumps between the teeth Open, very pleasant.

Seeing his goatee trembling, Ye Xing knew something was going on, and immediately took out plum cucumbers for him, "And this, does it look like a cornucopia? Eat this and I wish you a lot of money."

This flattery is exactly what Mr. Storyteller wants. He has been a storyteller for many years, and he hopes that people who listen to the book will give more rewards. Every time he hears the rewards are put in his money box, he feels more energetic.

Now there is no need to taste the storyteller and he said: "Little lady is really Lan Xinhui, I will let the steward come out to see what you are eating right now."

Seeing that the usually vicious storyteller was really looking for the manager, the buddy opened his eyes wide and looked at Ye Xing curiously.

There was a storyteller's recommendation, and the manager came out and tasted it and thought it was good, so he couldn't help nodding.

"It's really good. It's dry in autumn, and the brazier has been lit again in the store. Eating cucumbers and radishes is not easy to get angry. It's sour and sweet, and it's more appetizing. How about it, you just sell the recipe to me, and we'll give you ten taels of silver. If you still have good snacks in the future, come directly to us."

Twelve taels of silver was beyond Ye Xing's surprise, Ye Xing happily took the silver ingot and said, "Don't worry, I still have new food, I'll send it to you when I'm ready!"
