The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 113 Lot
Xie Zhimo took out the agreement that had been drawn up a long time ago, and then explained it to Lizheng. Lizheng chose three acres of land, Xie Zhimo noted it on the map, and the two of them pressed their fingerprints and it was done.

The second person to come was Liang Shi. She came behind Wang Fengzhen and Luo Shi's back. If these two people knew about it, they would never agree to her coming.

Xie Zhimo asked with a smile, how many acres of land does Liang need? Liang’s family also has land, and the current labor force is only the eldest son and second son. Thinking about it, he asked, "How much did you want?"

Xie Zhimo didn't hide it, "Li Zheng said that there are three laborers in their family, and they need three acres of land."

Liang thought that he couldn't ask for more than Lizheng, "We also happen to have three laborers, so let's say we also want three acres."

Xie Zhimo took out the map, "Aunt Liang, let's see, which three acres to choose?"

Liang chose a place close to his home, and Xie Zhimo took out the agreement again, and then emphasized, "If we don't pay three thousand catties of peppers a year, we will take back this place next year."

Let’s say that the Liang family used to dare to steal, rape and play tricks, but now her two daughters-in-law are working with Yao Yu, and Xie Nuo has also been admitted as a scholar. She dared to offend this family, “Don’t worry, we will definitely Delivered on time and according to quantity.”

In less than two days, all the land Xie Zhimo bought was sold out. Looking at the thick stack of agreements, Xie Zhimo felt a sense of accomplishment, and even made a small box to put these agreements in.

Because half of this year is over, everyone only needs to pay five hundred catties of peppers, and the villagers of Shuangshui Village are grateful again.

Yao Yu stood at the door of the house, looking at the pomelo trees on the mountain, thinking that these grapefruits should be edible this year. For more than half a year, Yao Yu didn't go to the store in Jiangzhou. Xie Zhimo went to Jiangzhou every morning. When I am in the state, I will stop by to have a look. If there is anything missing in the store, I will start preparing when I come back at night.Xie Zhimo is also responsible for the preserved eggs, soybean paste and chopped peppers for Wangchen Restaurant, Bazhenfang and Manchuan Inn.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was November, and Yao Yu was weaning Xiao Ruirui recently, so whenever he had time, Yao Yu ran to the back mountain to nest. Now the back mountain can no longer be called a barren mountain. Once October is over, the grapefruit trees on this mountain Then it produced yellow pomelo, which looked like a golden mountain when viewed from the bottom of the mountain, but it was still a beautiful scene, and there was no sense of desolation at all.

Yao Chang was very happy to see the grapefruits all over the mountain, "Sister, I didn't lie to you, it will bear fruit this year, by the way, you can pick it off and have a look, these grapefruits are absolutely sweet."

The pomelo was much larger than the ones picked in Nanshan back then, and I don’t know how Yao Chang and the others planted it. Yao Yu picked a pomelo and cut it open. After tasting it, it was indeed sweeter than the grapefruit he ate in Nanshan at that time. Too much, Yao Yu happily broke off a piece and handed it to Yao Chang, "It's really sweet, second brother, try it."

"That's right, I, Yao Chang, can't do anything else, but I'm sure I can plant these flower and fruit trees." Yao Chang's confident appearance made Yao Yu laugh.

Yao Yu picked a basket of grapefruits, and then returned to the house. When planting trees before, Yao Yu had already figured out how to use these grapefruits to make money. Now that he walked into the kitchen, Yao Yu started directly. First peel the grapefruits. Wash and peel the grapefruit.

Yao Yu opened half of the pomelo peel with a razor blade, put the white flesh aside, and put the other half of the skin directly aside. These sliced ​​grapefruit peels were all cut into shreds, then rinsed with clean water, added a little salt, then shred the pomelo meat, after processing the pomelo meat, Yao Yu put water in the pot, boiled it, put in the shredded pomelo peel, and then drained it.

After cleaning the pot, Yao Yu added water and rock sugar, then put in the treated pomelo peel and pomelo meat, and simmered for an hour. During this hour, Yao Yu kept stirring until all the ingredients turned The pomelo tea can only be taken out of the pot when it is thick and the skin turns golden. Yao Yu put the prepared pomelo tea into the small jar prepared earlier.

As for the remaining white pulp, you can wash dishes after adding alkali. In ancient times, there was no detergent, and cleaning with this pulp can remove dirt very well, so Yao Yubing did not throw it away.There is still half of the pomelo peel left, Yao Yu is now taking out the remaining pomelo peel, cleaning it, then cutting it into slices, soaking it in salt water, and after the yellow water comes out, take out the grapefruit peel and squeeze it dry The moisture inside is put into clean water to continue soaking.

While soaking the grapefruit peels, Yao Yu was not idle. He poured water and sugar into the pot, and began to boil the syrup. When the concentration of the sugar water became suitable, he put in the treated grapefruit peels, and then began to stir fry until the syrup was ready. It was all sucked dry by the grapefruit peel before Yao Yu took the firewood out of the stove hole, and then fried it for a while with the residual heat in the pot, and then it came out of the pot.

Yao Yu likes to eat crispy pomelo peel candy, so Yao Yu only filled a small jar after it was out of the pot. At this time, the pomelo peel candy in the jar is soft, and the pomelo peel candy in the jar after it is cooled It is brittle.In fact, if you add honey to grapefruit tea, it will taste better, but honey in the mountains is hard to find, and if you want to add honey to all the grapefruits in the mountains, even if you get all the wild honey in Shuangshui Village, it will definitely not be enough. .

Three days later, Yao Yu brewed a cup of preserved yuzu tea for everyone, and then filled two plates of yuzu peel sugar, one was crisp and the other was soft.

Everyone seemed to like this citron tea very much. After taking a sip, Mr. Ji gave a very high evaluation, "This citron tea must not be inferior to other teas in taste."

Aunt Jiang drank the grapefruit tea in one gulp, "I haven't had anything better than this in my life."

Pei'an drank half of it. Seeing what his mother said, he handed his half cup to her mother. Aunt Jiang waved her hand, "Drink it."

Pei An said, "It's okay, I'm not thirsty."

Seeing the deep bond between the two mother and son, Yao Yu said with a smile, "I made a lot of grapefruit tea, so you can drink it. If you finish drinking it, go to the kitchen to get it yourself." Anyway, the materials are local, but the sugar needs to be purchased in Jiangzhou.

In fact, even if Pei An and Aunt Jiang knew the taste, they wouldn't really take it, but what Yao Yu said moved them for a while.

As for pomelo peel candy, men seem to be less interested, but Mr. Ji likes it very much, but his teeth are not good, so after eating a few pieces of crisp pomelo peel candy, he chooses to eat soft ones, "This crispy one It's more delicious."

Both Liu Xian and Aunt Jiang liked crisp pomelo peel candy, Yao Yu hugged the jar, and started to brew business in Jiangzhou again.After eating a piece of pomelo peel candy, Liu Xian looked up and saw Yao Yu in a daze, poked Yao Yu's arm, "What are you thinking?"

Yao Yu came back to his senses, "Of course I want the pomelo business."

Liu Xian knew that Yao Yu had always been a thoughtful person, not to mention that many things in Yao Yu's store were unheard of, but the hot down jackets sold in her store were not Yao Yu's idea, "You want to get Shop to sell?"

"With breakfast, we can sell some money." Yao Yu didn't shy away, "If someone drinks well and wants to buy it, I can also sell it jar by jar."

"But in the end, what you earn is only a small amount of money." Liu Xian pointed out this problem sharply.

"Yes, but if I open a snack shop, Jiangzhou will have a Bazhen shop again." Yao Yu said, "Even if there is no Bazhen shop, I can't open this shop just by relying on grapefruit tea and pomelo peel."

Liu Xian also fell into silence. The reason why down jackets are easy to sell is because she is in this business, and down jackets are necessary clothes in winter, and Yaoyu's grapefruit tea is good, but it is not necessary. Indispensable, plus there are still some problems with sales.

"Let's take it to the store and sell it first." Yao Yu said, the grapefruit tea can still be sold, but she hasn't thought of how to sell the finished sausage until now.

On the second day, Yao Yu finally appeared in the Jiangzhou store. Some of the regular customers who came to see Yao Yu were a little shocked, "Miss Yao, you are finally here."

Yao Yu explained with a smile, "Yes, there is something at home."

"It's been almost a year, and the store hasn't launched a new pattern for a long time." The reason why many people like to come to this store is that Yao Yu will launch new dishes from time to time, and people in Jiangzhou like to try new dishes, which Yao Yu has long discovered up.

"What a coincidence." Yao Yu took out the jar of citron tea, "Today we really want to introduce new dishes, citron tea and pomelo peel candy."

"Grapefruit tea and pomelo peel sugar?" The man repeated in doubt.

"Well, yuzu tea is suitable for men, women and children. It tastes sweet, but it's sweet but not greasy. The pomelo peel candy is crispy and delicious, much better than the previous sweet potato candy." Yao Yu didn't forget to put them The advantages are all mentioned.

"I want a grapefruit tea." The man said.

Yao Yu quickly brewed the grapefruit tea, then served it to the man, who took a sip, "It does taste sweet, but it's sweet but not greasy, it's delicious!"

When everyone heard this, they came to buy grapefruit tea one after another.In the morning, more than half of the small pot of grapefruit tea was gone. The price of grapefruit tea was five yuan a bowl, and the price of pomelo peel sugar was three yuan and five yuan two.

"Boss, do you sell this kind of yuzu tea by itself?" When the shop still sold sweet wine, everyone knew that this sweet wine could also be sold by itself, but it was later taken away by Bazhenfang.

"Yes, four taels of silver for a jar of grapefruit tea." Yao Yu had already figured out the price. A small jar of grapefruit tea can hold five catties, which is less than one tael of silver per catty.

Although the price is high, everyone has seen that after selling so much citron tea this afternoon, only half of it was used up. At that moment, someone sold a jar of citron tea, and Yao Yu gave the method of brewing citron tea to the person who bought it. He said carefully, "Remember not to use water that is too boiling."

After a while, five small jars of grapefruit tea were sold for 20 taels of silver, which shocked Aunt Wu and the others.
