Chapter 49 Bean Sprouts and Tofu Soup

Qin Zhongyuan really came here this time because of the salt drying. He had gone to Pingdong Fishing Village and told his sister about the salt drying. Later, his brother-in-law and his nephews tried to do a few drying. salt in the saltworks.

Although the scale was not very large, Qin Songlan's husband and sons carefully followed the method Qin Zhongyuan said and tried to dry the salt bit by bit. It took ten days to finally dry the salt.

Of course, although the dried salt is relatively clean and tidy, it is not considered refined salt, so they purified the salt according to the method Qin Zhongyuan said, and finally obtained pure white refined salt.

The taste of these purified refined salts is really good, and there are no impurities in coarse salt, and it will not taste bitter when eaten. It tastes very good to cook with this kind of salt.

The most important thing is that the yield of sun-dried salt is relatively high. Although some are consumed during purification, the overall yield is still very high.

Qin Zhongyuan went to Pingdong Fishing Village again yesterday to see the salt field made by his brother-in-law and nephews, and saw the salt they dried with his own eyes. He was excited all night and still didn't calm down.

The reason why he came to talk to Qin Songtao about the salt now was because he had already looked for Qin Muyu before, after all, Qin Muyu was easy to find at the private school.

After beeping with Qin Muyu for a long time, he was kicked out by the impatient Qin Muyu, so he came to Qin Songtao, Qin Muyu's biological father, to praise his son and relieve his excitement.

"Songtao, you don't know how high the output of that sun-dried sea salt is. Although it takes ten or ten days to harvest a batch, its output is worthy of this time."

"The purified sea salt is really good, and the cooked dishes are really delicious. This salt is really good."

"Not to mention anything else, the production alone is enough to make us happy. Also, this salt is dried in seawater. Do you know how much seawater is there? There is so much seawater, so we don't have to worry about us running out of salt in the future." Qin Zhongyuan said excitedly.

The salt in the Yong Dynasty was basically well salt and mine salt, and it was more troublesome to mine. The refined salt eaten by the nobles cost a lot of manpower and material resources, so the salt eaten by the nobles was more expensive.

Another part of the salt is lake salt, but there are basically few salt lakes, and there were not many salt lakes in the Yong Dynasty, so salt is really expensive for everyone, but it is also indispensable.

It’s different now. You don’t have to worry about over-exploitation of sea salt, and you don’t have to worry about the price of salt being too expensive. With salt dried in seawater, it is no longer difficult for ordinary people to eat salt.

Qin Songtao quietly listened to what Qin Zhongyuan said, but he didn't really feel deeply. After all, he lived in the 22nd century in his previous life. Salt was not a rare thing for people in that era. You can get it at the grocery store.

So Qin Songtao didn't understand Qin Zhongyuan's excited mood, but he didn't pour cold water on Qin Zhongyuan, but listened and echoed Qin Zhongyuan's words, quietly being a listener.

Qin Zhongyuan and Qin Songtao chatted very happily, so Qin Muzhang took advantage of the situation and left Qin Zhongyuan at home for dinner, which happened to be a good time to drink with Qin Songtao.

"Where are we going to eat at your house? I'd better go home and eat." Qin Zhongyuan said embarrassedly.

"Brother, why do we brothers need to be so polite? It's just a meal, why are you embarrassed? It's not like our family can't afford your meal." Qin Songtao stopped Qin Zhongyuan and said.

With Qin Songtao and Wang Mingya's persuasion, Qin Zhongyuan still stayed for dinner.

The current situation is not so bad. Although Qin Zhongyuan is a little embarrassed, the psychological burden is not so heavy. I have a meal at Qin Songtao's house today, and I will invite Qin Songtao or Qin Muyu to his house for a meal in a few days. It's ok, just come and go.

For lunch, Qin Muzhang made braised rabbit meat, stir-fried sweet potato leaves, braised eggplant, fish-flavored eggplant, pan-fried tofu and a bean sprouts tofu soup.

The tofu was just made today. Originally, they had finished the stone mill the day they came back from the town, and they said they would make tofu on the third day, but after they were busy cultivating the land, they didn't have the mood to make tofu anymore.

Today, the land has been reclaimed and vegetables have been planted, so they have the leisure and time to make tofu, and today they finally eat tofu.

"This is tofu?" Qin Zhongyuan picked up a piece of pan-fried tofu and tasted it. He liked the charred outside and tender inside, and the tofu in bean sprouts and tofu soup was also tender, which he liked very much.

"Yes, Uncle, please taste it." Qin Muzhang said, "Try this tofu and see if you like it, and see if everyone can accept the method of tofu. If you like it, we can make money by exchanging the soybeans with water. "

"Yeah, I have to try it." Qin Zhongyuan liked it more and more, and praised the taste of tofu while eating. Of course, he also likes bean sprouts.

He also likes soybean sprouts, but he still prefers mung bean sprouts when he is older. After all, mung bean sprouts taste more tender, and soybean sprouts are too brittle, and if the watercress are not pinched off, they will become harder. Bad people really don't like to eat.

"Come on, brother, let's have a drink." Qin Songtao greeted, he still prefers to drink some wine, especially the wine made by his own son.

During this meal, Qin Muzhang asked Chen Qiuxiang to take out the health-preserving wine he brewed. This wine is delicious and mellow, but its main effect is to preserve health and nourish the body.

Of course, you can't drink too much of any wine, even the health wine he brews, you can't drink too much, about three or two or four for one person, and drinking too much will hurt your health.

Qin Songtao and Qin Zhongyuan liked this wine very much after drinking it, but Qin Muzhang and Wang Mingya didn't let them drink too much, after two or three cups, they could only eat vegetables.

That is to say, Qin Muzhang's food tastes good, so their regret of not being able to drink is not so great.

After lunch, Qin Zhongyuan left. He had to go back and write to Qin Xiuyuan to tell him about the sun-dried salt. He hoped that Qin Xiuyuan could give the recipe of sun-dried salt and the method of purifying coarse salt to the emperor. .

Of course, Qin Xiuyuan will also protect the Qin Family Manor. When the interests of the salt merchants and the family are shaken, it is better not to expose the Qin Family Manor. Otherwise, the Qin Family Manor may not be able to resist the revenge of the family. .

Not long after lunch, Qin Zhongyuan opened Qin Songtao's house. Less than two hours later, Chen Qiuxiang's house ushered in a rather unexpected guest.

"Sister?" Chen Qiuxiang was very surprised to see Chen Shuyin who brought her daughter over. She didn't expect that she would come to Qinjiazhuang to find him.

"Sister, why are you here?" Although Chen Qiuxiang was surprised to see Chen Shuyin, he still welcomed him in, "Sister, come in quickly, why are you here at this time? What happened?"

Recently, she has been busy cultivating vegetable fields and growing vegetables. She occasionally went to paddy fields and dry land to look at rice, sweet potato and corn.Unexpectedly, her cousin came here today.
