Nongmen Blessed Wife: The elder sister-in-law has space for farming

Chapter 43 Everyone is a family
Yin Ziying thought about it, today these sweet potatoes are at least two hundred catties, and she doesn't know how much they can get by then.

She remembered that in modern times, five catties of sweet potatoes could get one catty of starch.

If this is the calculation, then she should be able to get thirty to forty catties of starch from these sweet potatoes, and the proportion of this starch is similar to that of sweet potato vermicelli and sweet potato vermicelli.

In this way, at least she has something to discuss cooperation with Cuixianlou initially, and there is no need to buy sweet potatoes again.

I don't know how much money these things can be sold for by then?You know, there are two hundred catties of sweet potatoes, and its cost is only 600 Wen!

The yield of 200 catties of sweet potatoes is 40 catties. If it is 40 catties, what Yin Ziying thinks is that the price will at least double by then.

For 40 catties of sweet potatoes, it would cost about twenty or thirty yuan per catty to meet her expectations. It's not that she was a sucker, but that the output of sweet potatoes was really not high.

If she doesn't sell it at a high price, it won't be worth it at all.And whether it is making this sweet potato starch, or sweet potato vermicelli and sweet potato vermicelli skin, in short, the time, manpower and material resources required for these things are extremely high.

Like today, it took them a whole day and so many hands just to get a small part of the early stage.

You know, after that, it will take a long time to dry and so on.

Also, after drying to become sweet potato flour, they still need to process it on the basis of sweet potato starch, and then make it into sweet potato vermicelli.

Calculated in this way, the cost would be a lot of money, if it is not sold at a higher price, it is really not worth it.

Gu Yunxian and Gu Yunrui didn't know what was going on in Yin Ziying's mind at this moment. They were staring closely at the sweet potato juice slowly clearing in the big wooden basin.

"Sister-in-law, what are we going to do with this thing then?"

Seeing their question, Yin Ziying told them in detail: "This sweet potato actually contains a lot of starch, this starch..."

"What is starch?" Gu Yunxuan looked at Yin Ziying curiously, doubts flashed in her eyes, she has never heard of starch?
Yin Ziying choked, then smiled and said:

"It's a substance in the sweet potato. In short, you just need to know that there is something called starch in the sweet potato. The step we are doing now is to extract this thing."

"Extraction? Are we extracting now?"

Gu Yunxuan looked at the water slowly clearing in the tub and said, "Sister-in-law, is this water what you call starch?"

Yin Ziying shook her head, pointed to the layer of white substance that slowly settled under the tub and said:

"Look, the bottom layer is what we use today, and the water still contains these white substances, right?

When all these white substances sink, we stir them all up, wait for them to sink again, and pour out the water after repeating this two or three times. The white substance underneath is what we want. "

"This white layer is the starch my sister-in-law mentioned?"

Yin Ziying nodded: "Well, it can be said so, but it is not yet fully formed starch, and we still need to go through the drying process."

Seeing the puzzled and incomprehensible expressions in the eyes of the three people, Yin Ziying smiled and did not explain much, but said to Gu Yunxuan:

"Sister Xuan is just watching these things at home, how about keeping the flies away? I'm going out with my brothers."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxuan immediately stood up:

"Sister-in-law, what are you going to do? Are you going to town?"

"how come?"

Yin Ziying couldn't stop laughing: "It's not even the day before the market! What are you going to do in the town? Count the days, we won't be able to go to the town to sell vegetables until the day after tomorrow.

You see, my sister-in-law just said that the white substance underneath needs to be dried, right?So now we have to find bamboo to make bamboo slices, otherwise where will we hang them to dry? "

Hearing this, Gu Yunxuan nodded half-understanding.

When she heard that they were going to the town, she was immediately happy. She nodded and patted her small chest and said, "Sister-in-law, brother, you go, I will stay at home and not even a mosquito can get in."

Seeing that she was so sensible, Yin Ziying reached out and touched her head: "Then sister Xuan should also be careful at home, don't fall down by yourself."

After leaving the old Gu's house, Yin Ziying followed Gu Yunxian and the two brothers to the bamboo forest in the village.

There is also a kind of bamboo in this village. Everyone in the village needs to do something, even if they cut the bamboo to do it themselves, no one will say anything.

Gu Yunxian asked Yin Ziying as he walked: "Sister-in-law, why did we make this thing? If you want to dry starch, let's go to uncle's house to borrow some."

Yin Ziying shook her head and said:

"That thing is so troublesome, I don't think you guys can make it up, anyway, I don't know how to make it up, and if we need to use it frequently in the future, we can't ask uncle to borrow it every time!

Next time I will go to the town to buy it. This time we are mainly going to get some bamboo chips to make boards, which will be more convenient for drying. "

What she thought in her heart was that whether it was starch or sweet potato vermicelli made after starch molding, all of them needed to be cooled.

There are also a lot of containers needed to stand still for cooling. Naturally, they will need to buy some containers from the town. If they rely on their own hands, they don't know when they will wait.

They can't, they can't, the small ones are not suitable for these jobs at all!

Hearing what Yin Ziying said, Gu Yunxian and the others nodded, and they went to the bamboo forest in the sub-village together.

Originally, Yin Ziying was still worried that it would take a long time for them to chop bamboo, but when she arrived, she just found an acquaintance there.

That person was none other than Uncle Gu. When he saw his nephew and nephew's wife approaching, Uncle Gu was taken aback, then smiled and said:

"Ziying, Brother Xian, Brother Rui, why are you here? Are you looking for bamboo shoots? There are no bamboo shoots this season."

Yin Ziying waved her hands and said:

"Uncle, you're here too! That's just right, we're here today to find some bamboo to build a bamboo frame, can Uncle help us make one?"

When Uncle Gu heard this, he frowned immediately: "Why didn't you go to me if you wanted to get this thing? Instead, you came here by yourself. If you didn't meet me when you came here today, then what are you going to do?"

Seeing Yin Ziying's embarrassing expression and Gu Yunxian and the others bowing their heads, he shook his head and said:

"It's been said that we are a family. You don't need to be so ignorant. If you have anything to do, just call me to help. We are all a family. It must not be like this next time. Do you hear me?"

Hearing Uncle Gu's words, Yin Ziying would be lying if she said she was not moved. After all, her family not only borrowed money from Uncle Gu's family, but also owed a lot of favors.

Not to mention anything else, just say that the reason why she married here is because Uncle Gu and others gave money to the original owner's parents, otherwise the original owner would not have married over, and naturally she would not have followed.
