Rebirth and farming: the prosperous days of the eldest sister of Nongmen

Chapter 5 Orange Ginger Tea
Wang Shi and Ye Tao were worried that the matter would not be able to be done when they saw the waiters obstructing them. Who knew that the cucumbers and radishes they were used to at home could be sold for ten taels of silver.

"Well, why is this only ten taels of silver?" Wang looked at the silver ingot in Ye Xing's hand and said with emotion.

"Mother, I sold the recipe to him, and of course it's worth ten taels of silver." Ye Xing knew what Wang was going to ask, and immediately explained: "Huamei cucumber and Huamei radish look fresh, but if you are interested, you have to think about it a few times. It can also be made, and it is better to sell it directly.”

"It's because you young people have a lot of ideas, and your mother is old, and you can only do simple embroidery work that doesn't make money." Wang suddenly thought of something, and asked Ye Xing: "By the way, how do you know that you eat so much? The government inspectors know about it."

Ye Xing knew that Wang Shi would find it strange sooner or later, so she planned to blurt it out and divert Wang Shi's attention. .

"Didn't many people in our village go to study in the past few years? Sometimes when they come back, I will know after a few discussions. My mother, you can make two decent clothes for the three of us for the time being, and wait for me to get the new clothes." The food is sold and we have money to come in."

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang no longer thought about this issue. She felt sorry for her daughter. After selling the embroidery, she gritted her teeth and tore the fresh and tender cloth back to make clothes.

As for Ye Xing, she had thought about it a long time ago. Although it is warm inside the cottage, eating cold food is just a fresh meal. Now that winter is not far away, it would be better to make some healthy hot drinks and snacks.

Orange ginger tea was the first thing Ye Xing thought of. Drinking a cup of warm orange ginger tea on a bleak autumn day sounds comfortable.As for the snacks to eat, you can make yam and red date cookies, which will not be too burdensome while maintaining your health.

There are many kinds of oranges in autumn, and the price is not expensive.Ye Xing ruthlessly peeled three catties of oranges.Ye Tao saw that her sister and mother were busy and wanted to help, so she grabbed the orange peel and wanted to throw it out. Ye Xing quickly stopped her and stuffed an orange for her to eat slowly.

After the oranges are divided into petals, the outer transparent skin and the white meridian are all torn off. This step is delicate work. If it is not cleaned, it will look like there are foreign objects when soaked in water and eaten.After all peeled, the golden orange pulp broke free from the shackles of the skin and piled on the plate.

Ye Xing only took one-third of the remaining orange peels. She rubbed the orange peels with salt and then washed them and cut them into thin strips.Cut a small piece of ginger into fine shreds.After everything is done, put the pulp, orange peel, shredded ginger, and sugar into the pot together, and cook alternately over high and low heat.When boiling, keep stirring to prevent the pot from sticking. When it finally turns into sauce, it can be placed in a clean bowl and let it cool.

The production of yam and red date cookies is much simpler. The pitted red dates and yam are added to water and steamed in a pot until they become soft.Puree the softened yam and red dates, add an egg yolk and flour and mix well.Ye Xing spread a little oil in the hot pan, spread the yam and red date paste into round cakes, cover the pot, and fry over low heat.

Ye Xing served the finished orange ginger tea and yam red date cookies to the table for Wang Shi and Ye Tao to taste.The golden ginger tea does not have the spicy taste of ordinary ginger tea, nor does it have the bitterness of orange peel, only the sweet and sour taste is left, even children like peach leaves can drink ginger tea obediently.One sip, it seems that warmth seeps from the internal organs to the whole body, as if the autumn wind outside does not exist anymore.

The yam and red date cookies are made in a bite size, avoiding the situation where the cookie residue stains the table and clothes.The small apricot-colored biscuits are also embedded with little pieces of red dates, which look very comparable.Putting it into the mouth, the soft taste is unexpected, as if it melts as soon as it enters the mouth, without the help of any teeth, the mouth is full of the sweetness of red dates, making people unable to resist eating one after another.

For a while, the humble house was filled with the scent of oranges and red dates, and the ginger tea and cookies on the table were steaming. The mother and daughter felt the warmth and warmth that they had never felt before.

"Delicious! I want more!" Ye Tao took one in each hand, still eating in his mouth.

Seeing that a plate of cookies was about to bottom out, Wang hurriedly took them away, "You can still eat it after it tastes good, don't wait until you can't eat anymore."

Ye Xing likes to see others satisfied with what she makes. She used to cook it for herself, but now she is more motivated when someone shares her happiness. She even sleeps dreaming about doing it before or just watching it. Great food.

Ye Xing is not a reckless person, she didn't send the things to Tong's house immediately the next day, but stayed at home and continued to make orange ginger tea sauce.

Wang asked puzzledly, "Why don't you sell Fangzi today?"

"Mother, it's rare for people to have rare things. If I cook them every day, who will take it seriously. Besides, plum cucumbers and plum radishes will still be fresh for a while. It's time to make more sauce. It's time to take it. After all, their place is a washhouse, not a food shop. You can make some dim sum first, but it will be too troublesome to divide many people out to peel the oranges and cook the sauce. I guess Tong Guanshi will let us give it later They send this sauce."

Wang suddenly realized that since Ye Xing was so thoughtful, she could make clothes with peace of mind. She thought that she could no longer let the children go out and be regarded as beggars and settle down.

After Ye Xing made twenty cans of orange ginger tea sauce, Ye Xing counted the time and made a new yam red date cookie, wrapped it in cotton cloth and sent it to Fucheng.

Huamei cucumbers and Huamei radishes are selling well in Tongjia Washe in the past few days. Many people eat a few mouthfuls when Mr. Storyteller’s mouth is dry, and they also order a portion. Dries in one go.So steward Tong asked the waiter to wait for Ye Xing to deliver food at the door every day, and when he saw her, he immediately greeted her in with a smile.

Seeing the waiter's respectful look, Ye Xing knew it, and went to see Guanshi Tong with a calm smile on his face.

"Miss Ye, you are here, what good things did you bring today?"

"I've been thinking hard at home for a few days, and finally I've made enough to bring it here." After saying that, Ye Xing took out the sauce and cookies from the basket.

Because of the proper heat preservation, Tong Guanshi was still warm when he picked up the cookies and tasted them. He saw that there was a little red on the apricot-colored round cakes, which looked very small and cute. The taste spreads on the tip of the tongue, and people who are not greasy like ordinary jujube cakes can't eat it.After eating the cookies, he looked curiously at the dark jar Ye Xing brought.

"Little lady's jujube cake is indeed delicious, but what is it?"

"I need to trouble Manager Tong to bring out some hot water and a cup."

After everything was ready, Ye Xing dug out a spoonful of sauce and put it in the cup. The golden sauce piled up on the bottom of the cup. When hot water poured in, the golden color quickly occupied the whole cup under stirring with the spoon. The unique sweet and sour taste of oranges With the heat drifting into people's hearts.

Guanshi Tong knew it was not bad when he smelled the smell, he took a sip of the hot ginger tea, and heaved a sigh of relief, "It's comfortable, the wind is biting outside, if everyone comes in and drinks a cup of hot tea like this How comfortable!"

"Okay, we bought your stuff, and asked the little lady to dictate the recipe. I guess this sauce will take some time, can I let the little lady prepare it and send it over, and I will give you 150 yuan for a jar in the future Money, the pot is provided by Washe, the jujube cake needs to be eaten hot, how about buying out the recipe for ten taels of silver?"
