The fat peasant girl wants to counterattack

Chapter 13 Raw Bean Sprouts

"Mom, I once saw a recipe that uses beans to produce bean sprouts, which can be eaten in a few days."

Yue Mingzhu explained the process of growing bean sprouts to everyone in detail.

"Zhuzhu, where did you see this? I have never heard of it in my mother's life!" Mrs. Wang was very confused.

How could my daughter, a little girl, know this?

"I forgot. I don't know where I heard it. I suddenly remembered it when I was wandering around the town with my elder brother today." Yue Mingzhu explained vaguely. She couldn't say that she learned it from her previous life.

She only knew a rough idea about raw bean sprouts. She knew that the beans should be soaked in water first. After the beans had absorbed enough water, they would be placed in a leaky container and added water. The most important thing was that they should never be exposed to light. They would turn green when exposed to light. It is also easy to get old. How to operate it depends on your family members to give it a try.

Mrs. Wang felt that she had bought all the beans anyway, and she had to support her daughter and not undermine her self-confidence. If she failed, she would treat her as coaxing her, and the worst she could do was feed the chickens.

I immediately decided to grow bean sprouts!
Just do it, Mrs. Wang immediately started making arrangements.

First, take a pound of soybeans and mung beans each and soak them in separate basins, waiting for the beans to absorb enough water.

If bean sprouts can really succeed, the family will have an extra livelihood, which is very important to the whole family.

The waiting process was extremely painful, and the food for the whole family was no longer so delicious.

Only Yue Mingzhu should eat and sleep, because she knew in her heart that Bean Sprout could definitely succeed. Even if it didn't work this time, as long as she mastered the key tips and tried a few more times, she would always succeed.

The next day, the beans had absorbed enough water, especially the soybeans, which were plump and looked particularly pleasing to the eye.

I found two pots with holes in the bottom, spread a layer of gauze at the openings, placed the beans inside, poured water on them, covered them with gauze, and placed the two pots in a dark place.

Yue Mingzhu told her family to change the water frequently, otherwise the beans would easily turn black or even rot.

The next step is to wait except changing the water.

Mrs. Wang and the others are all authentic farmers with rich farming experience. In their opinion, there should be no problem with the germination of beans. It just depends on how they grow, how they look, whether they can be sold, and whether they can be eaten.

On the third day, everyone was surprised to find that the beans had sprouted.

Mrs. Wang didn't worry about anyone, so she changed the water and watched personally, and her two daughters-in-law also followed along to learn.

Summer is about to begin at this time, the weather is relatively warm, and bean sprouts grow relatively quickly. It only takes four days from soaking the beans to when the bean sprouts grow.

Because the water was changed frequently, the beans did not turn black at all. The bean sprouts looked tender and of excellent color.

Everyone was inspired and full of energy.

The sister-in-law who is the best cook immediately went to the kitchen and fried a plate of soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts.

When everyone tasted it, it was indeed good.

Because of the severe drought, the vegetables at home are mainly wild vegetables. The taste of wild vegetables is a bit bitter and not refreshing enough.

But bean sprouts are fresh, crisp and tender, completely different from wild vegetables.

The second brother, Yue Mingwei, had been working in restaurants for many years and immediately discovered the business opportunity. He felt that bean sprouts would definitely be popular once they were launched.

So, how much should it be sold for?

One pound of beans can produce about 10 pounds of bean sprouts, soybeans cost 25 Wen per pound, and mung beans cost 30 Wen per pound.

Everyone calculated it and finally priced the soybean sprouts at 8 Wen per catty and the mung bean sprouts at 10 Wen per catty.

The eldest brother thinks it's too expensive and is afraid he won't be able to sell it. After all, it's almost catching up with the price of food.

The second brother thinks otherwise, because bean sprouts are not sold to the poor.

Nowadays, poor people have trouble eating. How can they think about spending money to buy bean sprouts that are not enough for them? Even if they are sold for two cents, they probably have to consider whether to buy them.

Those who can buy bean sprouts must be rich. Rich people don't lack a few dollars. Being able to eat well is the most important thing to them.

Yue Mingzhu is convinced that her second brother is still very business-minded.

Now that everything has been decided, the next step is selling.Without thinking too much, everyone decided to send the bean sprouts to Yuemanlou to try out first.

The next day, the eldest brother and the second brother went to Yuemanlou with several kilograms of bean sprouts.

Shopkeeper Yu felt that he was going to get rich as soon as he saw the bean sprouts.

The weather is dry, and even Yuemanlou doesn't have much green vegetables.

Come to think of it, if there are no people growing vegetables, how can Yuemanlou get the vegetables?

Only rich people can go to Yue Man Lou to eat. Rich people are never short of meat, but they are tired of eating meat every day, especially those who like light food and want to eat some vegetables.

Before the two came, Yue Mingzhu told them several ways to make bean sprouts, which can be stir-fried, eaten cold, or made into soup.

The restaurant has a more complete range of seasonings and the chef's skills are more sophisticated. With many years of experience, he quickly made several dishes using bean sprouts.

After the shopkeeper tasted it, he immediately decided to buy 50 kilograms of soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts each day, and the prices were set as before.

There are so many bean sprouts that cannot be contained in a pot.

After the eldest brother Yue Mingqiang came out of Yueman Building, he went to the ceramics store and ordered two large vats, and even had a hole drilled in the bottom of the vat.

This was the first time the store had seen such a strange request, but he didn't ask any questions. He just drilled it and bought a tank.

Yue Mingqiang couldn't take the two large vats back, so he asked the store to send them back on a donkey cart.

After Yue Mingqiang arrived home, everyone quickly started preparing bean sprouts, feeling full of energy.

Oh my god, how much money can I make if I can sell 100 kilograms of bean sprouts in a day?

1 kilogram of soybeans can produce 10 kilograms of soybean sprouts. Soybeans cost 25 kilograms per kilogram, that is, the cost of 10 kilograms of bean sprouts is 25 kilograms. 10 kilograms of bean sprouts can be sold for 80 kilograms, which means that 10 kilograms of bean sprouts can earn 55 kilograms. The profit of mung bean sprouts Even higher.

Going out to do hard work only earns 20 cents a day. It is not easy to find a job. Their family is going to get rich.

Everyone waited excitedly for four days, looking at the two large tanks full of bean sprouts, their eyes were filled with gold, it was all money.

The bean sprouts were so delicate that they were afraid of being damaged, so the second brother hired a bullock cart from the village to deliver them to Yuemanlou.

Shopkeeper Yu immediately settled the bean sprout money, a total of 900 wen.

900 Wen, almost one tael of silver, and the cost was only 275 Wen, so we made 625 Wen.

Although I bought a big tank and hired an ox cart, it was nothing compared to the profit.

Yue Mingwei is so excited. If this continues, his family will become a wealthy landlord.

If we could sell more bean sprouts, wouldn't we be able to earn more?

So when he was free, he went to a ceramics store and ordered two large vats and asked the store to send them home.

The store had delivered it to his house before, so he was familiar with the process.

I just have doubts in my heart, something like a big tank can't be broken for decades. Who keeps buying big tanks? Is this a business?But I haven’t heard of any business that requires the use of a large tank with a hole in the bottom.

However, as a person, you should be less inquisitive. If you get annoying, what will you do if you don't buy a tank from him?

When the villagers saw that the man who delivered the vat went to Yue Mingzhu's house, their curiosity was completely aroused.

People in the village are gossipy and easy to inquire about.

Mrs. Wang had already told her not to say anything outside.

This is a profitable business for the family. Even the youngest Xiao Wu knows not to tell anyone. He keeps his mouth shut tightly and won't tell anyone who asks. If he asks, he will run home quickly.

Some brats wanted to scare Xiao Wu, so Xiao Wu cleverly moved Er Ge out. Er Xing went to that station, and the brats all ran away.
