Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 37

Zhang Xiaocao watched as soon as the water was poured, it seeped into the soil, and the amount of watering became more and more. She also pointed out that the garlic could be sold for money to buy land!
However, it was seen by that annoying Mrs. Zhu today, and it will definitely spread. Next year, there will be more people planting garlic, and this garlic will be worthless. After all, there is no technical content, and one kind will be successful.

She didn't point to garlic to make a fortune, but only focused on cotton. After all, there are too many things to master. The planting method must be spread throughout the Yuanqing. In this era of backward information dissemination, it is impossible within three to five years!
And what she has to do is to collect enough money in these three to five years, and then use this capital to do other things!
Some people in the village saw the old and the young carrying water from the river all the way, and thought it was too difficult for them. Some villagers came forward to help them carry it back, but Grandma Zhang refused with a smile.

It took an afternoon to finally water all the garlic sprouts in the yard. The weather is fine today and there is no cloud in the sky. Zhang Xiaocao thinks that there will be frost at night. She is worried that the garlic sprouts will be yellowed by the frost. To reduce the weight, I put a layer of grass on it!

Grandma Zhang was puzzled when she saw it. Zhang Xiaocao learned the lesson from the market and didn't dare to reveal her secrets. She only said that it was cold, people had to wear thick clothes, and the vegetables were cold, so she covered her with grass!

This explanation made Grandma Zhang laugh out loud, but she also felt that what she said made sense, so she also helped to cover it!

In the next few days, both grandparents and grandchildren sorted out the garlic to be sold on the second day in the evening of the first day, and carried it to the town to buy it at dawn. Because of their previous experience, the garlic they took later They are all about forty catties, but they will also be sold out quickly.

After six days, it was sold for nearly four taels of silver.

Grandma Zhang was very happy as she counted the copper coins in the money box. She was glad that she had heard her granddaughter say that the garlic seeds at home were not enough, so she bought garlic seeds from another house and planted them in the front yard. , so you can't earn so much money.

Zhang Xiaocao is also very happy, the more money she has, the more land she buys, but seeing the less and less garlic in the yard, she is a little worried, this will not be sold a few times, but the money to buy the land is still low. It's a lot worse, shouldn't she find some new ways to make money!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but use her little brain!

It is now November, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Even if you use corn leaves to lure those rabbits, the effect is not as good as before. Moreover, this method is too slow to make money, and the traps cannot trap large prey, so we just I can think of another way!

Zhang Xiaocao has been thinking about how to make money. When she went to the town to sell garlic, she saw a food stall in the vegetable market. People came and went every day, and the business was very good. She couldn't help but feel moved!
Maybe, she can also try to sell food!
Thinking of this, I couldn’t sit still any longer. After selling garlic with my grandma, I went to the food stalls and restaurants in the market and found that there were not many types, that is, noodles, wontons, buns and steamed buns. Yes, I tasted a few of the more prosperous businesses, and found that the taste was not very good, and I didn't see any different types of fans like the previous life.

Returning home full of excitement, Zhang Xiaocao quickly expressed her thoughts to grandma!

Grandma Zhang pondered for a moment, and knew that the garlic would not be sold for a few times, so she thought she could try it, so she asked, "What do you want to eat? The food in our farmer's family is rough, and others may not know how to eat it!"

Zhang Xiaocao was thinking about what to do on the way, but she just smiled mysteriously, wanting to surprise grandma, and just waited for the ingredients to be bought tomorrow, so she would try it out.

After selling out the garlic sprouts the next day, I rushed to the grain store. I wanted to buy glutinous rice flour, but only glutinous rice was sold, so I had to buy ten catties to go back to process, and bought six catties of flour and two catties of red beans. And brown sugar, but brown sugar is too expensive, it costs eighty yuan a catty, so I only bought one catty!
Just these four things cost nearly [-] Wen, which made Zhang Xiaocao a little guilty. After all, the cost was too high. difficult.

However, when she thinks of the delicious glutinous rice cakes, she is instantly full of confidence. If the cost is too high, let's take the high-end route!
Although Grandma Zhang was in pain, she didn't say anything. Now that the family is not short of this little money, even if they lose money, it's nothing. Even if they can't sell it, the worst thing is to keep it for themselves.

On this day, Zhang Xiaocao and Grandma Zhang were very busy. After listening to her granddaughter, Grandma Zhang washed the small stone mill and dried it in the sun, and then began to grind the glutinous rice flour. After grinding it back and forth several times, it finally became fine and even.

And Zhang Xiaocao started the most critical step. There is no Chengfen in this era, so she had to make it by herself. Chengfen is extracted from flour. The method is also simple. After the layer is dried, it becomes Chengfen.

Grandma Zhang was puzzled, but seeing her granddaughter full of confidence, she couldn't say anything. There was a ewe that was about to give birth at home, and it would be a big deal to feed it.

Zhang Xiaocao washed the flour in a large wooden basin, waited for it to settle, and then refined it and dried it in the sun.Refining is easy, but of course you can't just wait for it to dry in the sun, how slow it is!

Zhang Xiaocao spread the ashes on the ground to make a pool shape, and spread a layer in the hollow in the middle, then spread the clean muslin cloth on top of it, and carefully poured the refined clear powder slurry on it , don't let it overflow!

It only needs to wait for a day, and the moisture in the powder will pass through the muslin cloth and be absorbed by the extremely water-absorbing plant ash, and then it can be stored in the sun after being dried in the sun.

Waiting for the powder to dry, Zhang Xiaocao was not idle, and started to make red bean paste. Red beans need to be soaked in water to soften them, then add water to cook, grind finely, add an appropriate amount of brown sugar, evaporate the water with low heat, add cooking oil Well, if there is pollen, it will be even better.

When these were finished, it was already night, but Zhang Xiaocao wanted to see how the taste of the made was, so he took a piece of wet Chengfen, dried the Chengfen just for storage, and made glutinous rice cakes with wet Chengfen Does not affect taste.

Grandma Zhang gave her a helping hand, but watching the food that she had never seen before gradually take shape in her granddaughter's hands, the doubts in her heart became deeper and deeper.

Zhang Xiaocao accidentally saw the exploration in grandma's eyes, and was startled. She lived with grandma for a long time, and she would always find out that she was different, so it's better to make it clear now.

Of course, the fact that she was reborn on Zhang Xiaocao's body must not be said!
"Grandma, today's life is something that Xiaocao didn't even dare to think about before. In that house, Xiaocao couldn't eat well or wear clothes. He had to do many things every day, and he was scolded and beaten. When he fell into the water, Xiaocao Cao lay sick in bed for many days, and had a long, long dream. In the dream, he went to a strange place, where there were cars that could run faster than horses, and planes that could fly higher than eagles. There are also mobile phones that can talk thousands of miles away..."
