Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 16

Wanwan suddenly, that is, the modern dried persimmon cake.

The method of making persimmon cakes is relatively simple: first select the persimmons, and then peel and dry the persimmons. There are two methods for drying, one is drying in the sun, and the other is artificial drying.Drying by hand requires a machine, as well as turning and kneading during drying.This pinching is to promote its softening and release of astringency.The method is simple. If the method is not properly grasped during the drying period, the persimmon fruit is likely to be damaged.

Furthermore, things like persimmon fruit are quite rare in this era, not easy to buy, and expensive, even if Wan Wan knows how to make them, it is useless.

From the shopping just now, Wanwan secretly calculated in his heart that the ancient one or two is about 300 yuan in modern times.Modern persimmon cakes are about ten yuan a catty, which is [-] yuan at this time, and this pack costs [-] yuan for half a catty, which is simply unreasonable.

"...not only the color is beautiful, but also the body can be nourished by eating it. You don't have to worry about the taste. It is absolutely delicious. Old people can eat it to strengthen their bodies, and young girls can grow longer and more beautiful after eating it..." The guy was almost dancing with the plate.

Wanwan rolls his eyes, but also beautifies and strengthens the body?Better than medicine?

Baishou opened his eyes wide and asked incredulously, "Is it really that good?"

"That's right, many dignitaries come to us to buy..." the man said proudly.

Wanwan looked at the people who were still going to the market in twos and threes on the street. What kind of nobles could there be in this small place? He stretched out his hand and tugged at Baishou who was obviously hesitant: "I didn't expect this thing to be so miraculous? However, since the cure should not be released Do you sell it in a pharmacy, why is it in a fruit shop?"

Baishou was stunned, yes, reflect, is this a fake?Then look suspiciously at the buddy.

The corner of the guy's mouth twitched slightly. He only said that it can strengthen the body, not that it can cure diseases.Everyone usually believes in saying this, but today it is more true.

"Why don't we eat this?" Wanwan pointed to the dried dates outside the counter and said, "I like to eat this..."

*****
Holding the wrapped things, Wanwan pulled Baishou out of the fruit shop happily.

The fruit shop clerk looked at the twenty cents on the counter very depressedly, and he could sell dozens of cents more today.Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is really inappropriate to say so.Immediately, the guy was glad that it wasn't those rich ladies and ladies who came today, he really changed his rhetoric.

He successfully sold the prey, found a regular buyer, bought things, and bought snacks. Before returning home, Wanwan bought another half a catty of fatty pork.All together, it cost almost three hundred Wen today.One tael of silver and seven hundred wen left.

Wanwan touched her bosom carefully, it was all her and Baishou's possessions.

Back home, Baishou baked some cakes.After waking up from Wanwan, the two of them basically had three meals a day, and Baishou gradually got used to it.

After eating noon, Wanwan put away the things he bought, and then started cutting the meat, cutting the pork into small pieces, and when the meat was cut, he started to light the fire.In the past few days, she has secretly observed Baishou lighting a fire, and she can do it after trying it twice, and she can't help but secretly feel lucky that she is smart.

Baishou stood aside and asked her strangely: "Daughter-in-law, fry the meat now? I'll make it when I come back tonight!"

"No, I'll cook some oil out of this strip of meat, you come back from hunting earlier, and make it delicious at night." Wan Wan said.

Bai Shou's eyes lit up, the dishes cooked by his wife were delicious.

"Okay, then I'm going up the mountain."

Baishou went up the mountain with tools, Wanwan threw the meat into the pot, and simmered it slowly over low heat. After a while, there was the sound of oil bubbling in the pot, and the smell of lard filled the room, and no more firewood was added. , Sparks were left in the stove.

She went to the yard to check. Although the wildflowers and weeds grew well by the fence, the soil was too hard and not suitable for growing vegetables. Finally, she found a field by the side of the house, and the sunlight could shine through the gaps in the trees. Come in.

After choosing the place, she took the tools from the house and began to dig up the soil beside the house.

Even if the soil of the fence in the yard is suitable for planting, it's okay to plant two or three vegetables, but the location for a large number of plants is not suitable. In this case, she might as well replant a vegetable garden next to the house.If the experiment is successful, Baishou will be asked to find a way to enclose the vegetable garden in the yard in the future.

After digging the soil all afternoon, the lard in the pot was boiled, and the oil residue was dry and brittle.Wanwan took a bowl to fill up the oil residue, and used a can to fill up the oil.

In the evening, Baishou came back from the mountain and hunted some small animals, including a chipmunk.

Baishou was amazed when he heard that his daughter-in-law had opened a vegetable garden by herself, and kept admiring: "Daughter-in-law, you are amazing, you have worked hard." He said puzzledly: "We have a vegetable garden on the mountain, why do you need it?" Open a piece?"

"What? We have a vegetable garden at home?" Wanwan asked unexpectedly.Didn't she work all afternoon for nothing?
"Yes." Baishou nodded, then went around the back of the house, walked up the mountain road, passed a small slope, and saw a small vegetable garden in an open space.The vegetable garden is not big, and it is full of green vegetables, and the vegetables grow well, but there are a few plants beside the vegetable garden that have been trampled to this side, not like human actions, but like the footprints of some small animals in the mountains.

Wan Wan frowned slightly.

The first thought that flashed in my mind was that it would be better to open a new vegetable garden.Not to mention that after the vegetable garden is at home, every time I want to pick vegetables, I have to walk a short distance to the mountain road, which is not close enough, and it seems that sometimes it will be visited by some small animals on the mountain. Will it be stolen?

So Wanwan decided to move the vegetable garden down.

It doesn't matter if it's a hundred heads, if the daughter-in-law thinks it's too far away, then move the vegetable garden down!
In a few days, when she has enough chili seeds, she can try planting them.In a blink of an eye, I saw the bright green wild flowers and weeds at the fence, and these wild flowers and weeds are still full of vitality!

In the evening, Wanwan used the oil in the pot to make cakes. She originally planned to make mugwort cakes, but she couldn't find mugwort leaves, so she had to change it to salty ones.Pick two peppers and cut them into fine pieces, pour them into the flour, and mix well together.Sprinkle with salt, if there are other seasonings such as pepper, this cake will be more delicious.

Although there are less seasonings, but because of the strong smell of oil in the pot, the method of bending pancakes is different from that of Baishou. Baishou tasted a piece and said it was delicious.Wanwan tasted it himself, and the taste was average, and the flour had not been fermented, so the cakes made were hard.

Baishou ate five pieces of cakes in one go. If his stomach couldn't hold them, he still wanted to eat them. Finally, he wiped his oily mouth and said with a smile: "Wife, how can the cakes you make be so delicious? It's better than before. Grandma's cooking is delicious. If it is sold, many people will buy it."

Wan Wan's eyes lit up.

Baishou really gave her a good idea by mistake.When she was in the market, she also saw the cakes sold on the street, they all looked like Baishou baked, and she hardly saw the cakes with seasoning like her.If she adds various condiments to the cake, it can be made into different flavors. I believe many people will buy it. When she finds more condiments, I believe it will be even more delicious.

At that time, Baishou will be selling prey next to her, and she will be selling cakes next to her. If they can still go home together, their family will have double income!
The more Wan Wan thought about it, the more excited he became.
