The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 116 Going to the county seat
Pomegranate started busy early this morning. What are you busy with?
Naturally, I am busy making this Youth League.

If you want to discuss business with someone, you must first be sincere, and with your adoptive father as the middleman to introduce you, Pomegranate is not willing to lose any points.

How can you just make bacon and wild garlic stuffing? If she wants to do it, she must do everything.

Therefore, she decided to make a green dumpling with four kinds of fillings, two sweet and two salty, taking full consideration of customers with different sweet and salty preferences.

The two savory ones are stuffed with bacon and wild garlic and salted egg yolk meat floss, and the two sweet ones are stuffed with sesame peanuts and red bean paste.

The other three fillings are easy to say. The bacon and wild garlic filling has already been made. For the red bean paste, boil the red beans and mash them into a paste. After the sesame and peanuts are cooked, grind them into pieces and mix them with sugar and lard evenly. Then you can make the filling.

The most important thing is the salted egg yolk and meat floss, which is also a secret ingredient of pomegranate.

From the food posts I read in my previous life, Pomegranate learned the fastest way to make salted egg yolk, which can also be made with eggs.

The first step is to break the eggs into a clay pot. Do not break up the egg yolks when beating. Then according to the ratio of twenty eggs to one pound of salt and two pounds of white flour, pour the salt and white flour into another clean clay pot. Mix it thoroughly and evenly, then use a flat wooden box to pour more than half of the salt and white flour mixture, shake it gently with your hands a few times, and spread it out.

Then prepare an egg standing upright and grind it into small round pits on the flour. Then, take out the complete egg yolks one by one from the egg bowl that was beaten before. Do not use any egg white at all, and filter them all. Put the taken out egg yolks into the small round pits one after another. Be careful not to break the egg yolks into pieces.

After all the egg yolks are put into the small pits, sprinkle the remaining half of the white flour salt evenly on the surface of the egg yolks and cover them tightly.

Finally, the wooden box is wrapped layer by layer with oiled paper until it is marinated.

This quick pickling method only takes two days. After two days, you will have small, round, soft and bouncy white balls that are as soft and bouncy as glutinous rice balls. Then use clean water to thoroughly wash away the white flour and salt on the surface, and you have it. A crystal clear salted egg yolk!

The first thing Pomegranate did was pickle the egg yolks, and then start frying the floss.

The method of frying pork floss yourself is also simple. Take a large piece of lean pork, remove the fascia, blanch it in water, cook until the meat falls apart when you pinch it with your hands, then take it out and drain it, cool it and put it in a clean cloth bag. Inside, beat with a rolling pin to loosen, tear into strips and knead.

Prepare seasonings, soy sauce, sugar and salt in good proportions. Pour the shredded meat and seasonings into a pot and fry over low heat. Wait until the water in the meat strips slowly dries up, then add a little oil, and then fry until the meat strips are cooked. It starts to feel velvety. Continue to stir-fry until the shredded meat becomes dryer, fluffy and golden in color. Then you can scoop it out and let it cool. When drying, be sure to spread the meat floss evenly and avoid any clumps. Accumulation and internal heat will cause the floss to become soft and fluffy.

After cooling completely, put the meat floss into a clean jar and seal it.

Just doing these two things is a busy day.

On the way back from a trip to the old house, Shiliu made a special detour to Chen Qicai's house and asked him to pick up Tian Ai who was carrying a basket tomorrow, and she took five cents for it.

When Chen Qicai heard this, he thought about the pomegranates he had said in the morning that he had to think about whether to pinch them himself or pay to collect them. Now he was about to collect them from him. He must have done a good job in informing the Wu family today!

He thought to himself that he would not be careful with the pomegranate girl in the future, but he had to fawn over the pomegranate girl in order to make money!

He immediately responded in a hurry, saying that he would pick out the weeds early tomorrow morning, making sure to pick out the tenderest and best ones, and pick out all the weeds cleanly.

On the second day, Pomegranate went on to make the other three fillings.

After cooking, cook the Qingming vegetables, wrap the three kinds of fillings in the dough, and steam them, leaving only a small lump of dough for the salted egg yolk filling. I will take this with me and wait until I steam it in the city.

At dawn on the fourteenth day, Shiliu and Li Rongzong packed up the prepared wooden boxes and drove the mule cart to the old house to meet Li Rongsong and the others.

Li Jizhong drove a bullock cart to see them off. In this carriage, Li Jiren had just been loaded onto the bullock cart and settled down, and was bidding farewell to Father Li and the others.

When the pomegranate brothers and sisters arrived, everyone said a few words and then set off.

Father Li and Mrs. Wu sent them to the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, watched them walk away on the road, and then went home.

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the weather was getting colder and colder, and Pomegranate was sitting in the hood of the car without the wind blowing. She felt cold and her hands and feet were cold. Thinking of the old cotton coat worn by her cousin Li Rongsong, her heart turned. .

Not long after, when they arrived at the Datong Warehouse, Ding Fuguang had already asked He An to watch at the door. When he saw the Shiliu family's mule cart coming, He An hurried in to report it.

Ding Fuguang hurriedly came out after receiving the letter, and asked the Shiliu brothers and sisters to get out of the car and go in to have breakfast before setting off. He had already had breakfast prepared, and it was all hot.

After saying that, he saw there was an ox cart behind him. When Shiliu explained the situation, he immediately said: "What a coincidence! You don't have to go to Luoshui Pier! There is a cargo ship that is about to leave, heading for Zhoucheng! I will go with the escort ship The steward is an old acquaintance, you come in for breakfast first, and I’ll go over to the pier and say something!”

Shiliu was overjoyed when she heard it. She could get a boat to Zhoucheng directly from Dafengji Pier. That was a blessing! One less bumpy road!
"Then I'll trouble my adoptive father!"

Li Rongsong and Li Jizu were also very happy and thanked Ding Fuguang repeatedly.

Ding Fuguang waved his hand and said that they were not outsiders, no need to be polite, and let Shiliu take them all to have breakfast first, and he would go to the dock and come back.

It was just a few steps away and you could see the ship.

Therefore, Pomegranate brought Li Rongsong and the others in and ate the rice porridge and meat buns prepared by Ding Fuguang for breakfast. Just after eating half of it, Ding Fuguang came back and said, "It's already been agreed! You guys have a good breakfast. I’ll take you to the boat!”

Li Rongsong and Li Jizu listened and finished the meat buns in their hands quickly, then put down their chopsticks. Li Rongsong fed Li Jiren and finished another bowl of rice porridge. That was enough.

Pomegranate followed them to the boat. Before leaving the warehouse, she couldn't help but whisper to her elder brother: "Brother, you and your cousin can change clothes. Your clothes are newly made and will be warmer! When we enter the city, we will buy another one." .”

Li Rongzong understood the meaning of pomegranate as soon as he heard it. His cousin's cotton-padded jacket was old and not very warm. When he went to Zhoucheng for medical treatment, he had to stay with his uncle morning and night. Everything was not convenient. It would also be troublesome if he caught a cold. .

At that moment, he trotted to find Li Rongsong, pulling him and insisting on changing clothes with him.

Li Rongsong was confused at first, but then he understood what he meant. Even though his heart felt warm, he didn't hesitate. He changed clothes with him and remembered this precious brotherhood.

The cargo ship Ding Fuguang found was actually an old acquaintance of his, and this time it was delivering goods to Zhoucheng. After listening to Ding Fuguang's request, he readily agreed without saying a word, and said that he would wait until he arrived in Zhoucheng. They will also help send them directly to the Huichun Hall, so that Ding Fuguang can rest assured!
Shiliu and others watched Li Rongsong and the others board the ship before setting off for the city.

Li Jizhong, on the other hand, drove the bullock cart back to Xiahe Village, and told Father Li and others at home who were looking forward to it that they had boarded the boat at Dafengji Pier. An acquaintance was entrusted with the journey, so rest assured!
