Chapter 74: Making New Ways to Make Money (2)
Lin Xiaoqiao didn't dare to go up the mountain casually, but she still gained something. When she went up the mountain, she found that the Fuguo tree on the mountain had already grown many round and tender fruits. Ready to pick.

She was also a little strange at first, remembering that the fuguo tree seemed to bear fruit only in autumn, how could they still pick up so many fruits in early spring?

Later, she discovered that the wild fuguo trees all grew in the sandy land on the mountain. It may be because those fuguo trees fell into the sand, but they were all well preserved. down.

Lin Xiaoqiao had heard in his previous life that if chestnuts were preserved in sand, they would not rot easily and would last longer.

At that time, Lin Xiaoqiao was only thinking about making money, so he didn't notice this phenomenon.

Later, Lin Xiaoqiao secretly rejoiced that God really helped her. If there was no money for selling Fuguo, they might have to sleep in the straw shed after they separated.

Let's talk about that sum of money, which has already been spent by them, and there are only more than 100 taels left. Naturally, Lin Xiaoqiao can't just sit and eat at home.

So she began to study her new food——Sanzi, planning to use it to earn some more money, buy more fields, and try to be a little landlady for the last time.

Speaking of this sanzi, it is also called "thin ring cake" and "cold utensils". There are historical records, which began in the Northern Dynasties and have a very long history.It was originally a special snack in Anhui, which was used for festivals, ancestor worship and gifts for friends.Later, it was widely circulated, available everywhere, suitable for all ages, and became a very popular food.

Lin Xiaoqiao went to the town a few times but hadn't seen it before. He also inquired about Mrs. Li, Widow Zheng and others. This sanzi should have never appeared in this unknown dynasty.

This sanzi is made by kneading noodles with water, kneading them into thin strips, forming the shape of rings and deep-fried.It has a good taste, slender, crispy and delicious, with moderate saltiness.

Su Dongpo, a writer in the Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem praising Sanzi’s practice. He wrote: rubbing slender hands into jade, frying it in green oil will make it bright yellow and deep, and you will know how serious it is when you sleep in spring at night, and you can squash a beautiful woman with gold wrapped around her arms.This "Hanju Poem" vividly describes the flavor characteristics and morphological characteristics of Sanzi.The chanting is so clear and profound, which is enough to show how long its history is and how far-reaching its cultural traditions are...

Because sanzi seems to have a certain medicinal effect, Li Shizhen, a pharmacologist in the Ming Dynasty, also recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" about the method of sanzi: knead glutinous flour with flour, add a little salt, and twist it into a string. shape, fried food.

Lin Xiaoqiao in his previous life was better at this one, he almost bought it when he saw it, and he once tried frying it at home.

So, this time she focused on trying to make it look better.

The practice of this sanzi is simple and quite simple, but it is also difficult to say that it is difficult. If the following points can be achieved, it can be said to be a success.

One is the color, which must be fried into golden yellow, which requires the mastery of the heat.

The second is the shape. The strips must be thin and neat, without obvious joints and draws, and must be thin and one by one.

The third is the body of the scorpion, which has holes in the cross-section, and the body is free of noodles and impurities.

The fourth and last point is its taste, which must be pure, crisp and refreshing.

Lin Xiaoqiao went through several experiments, wasted almost a dozen catties of flour, and suffered from Li's many times, finally made Sanzi with "color, fragrance and taste".

So, she gave it to everyone to taste like a treasure, including Chen Xuewen, mother and son, who also gave some. After everyone finished eating, they all said that the taste was crispy and very good, and the appearance was also very good.

After getting everyone's affirmation, Lin Xiaoqiao told Li Shi and others that he planned to do it, and went to the town to try selling it.

Nobody raised any objections, so Li asked to sell with Lin Xiaoqiao, because she was not worried about the two girls.

Lin Xiaoqiao thought about it too. After all, she and Lin Xiaoxi were just little girls, so they would inevitably be excluded. If Mrs. Li was present, others would be more or less afraid, so they nodded and agreed.

So the mother and daughter negotiated the price together, and planned to sell sanzi at the West Street Market after the Mid-Autumn Festival!
But before that, she plans to fry up some more sanzi and send them to Yunlai Restaurant, so that the "delicious ghost" young master——Qin Ye can also taste her new food...

The next day, Lin Xiaoqiao took the sanzi he fried yesterday to Yunlai Restaurant to look for Qin Ye.

As soon as she entered the door, an enthusiastic guy came up to greet her. Lin Xiaoqiao explained her purpose, and the guy led her to find a remote seat to sit down, and then went to invite Qin Ye.

I don't know if it was the shopkeeper Zhou's order or because of Qin Ye. Now the guys in Yunlai Restaurant no longer look like they used to have their eyes above the top. They are even more enthusiastic when they see Lin Xiaoqiao. Every time she comes, These guys are very attentive.

Not a moment after Lin Xiaoqiao sat down, Qin Ye walked over in a hurry. His face was still like a crown of jade, his lips were red and his teeth were white. He was dressed in white robes. The smile rippling from the corner of his mouth showed that he was in a very good mood at the moment and looked very energetic.

As soon as he saw Lin Xiaoqiao, his eyes were bright and his smile was even bigger. Before he sat down, he greeted him with a playful smile: "Sister Xiaoqiao, you finally remembered to look for me? Did you bring something delicious?" Alright, hand it over quickly!"

Lin Xiaoqiao saw his monkey-playing, couldn't help laughing "puchi", and said angrily: "So you want my delicious food, seeing how anxious you are, how can you look like a young master?" Huh? If there is no delicious food, I am not allowed to come and play with you! But, this time, I really brought you fresh food. You can try it for me and give me some advice. I plan to sell this food in the town." Then he took out his newly made sanzi.

As soon as Qin Ye saw the sanzi, he scanned it a little, and was sure that he had never eaten it before, so he couldn't wait to take one and put it in his mouth to taste it, and after eating one, he went to take another one to chew. with.

Lin Xiaoqiao looked at his face, but couldn't tell whether he liked it or didn't like it.

He could only ask aloud: "Brother Qinye, how does this sanzi taste?"

Qin Ye glanced at her, and said sincerely: "This is called Sanzi? The name is really strange! The taste is still good, but——. This is not bad for those boudoir ladies or children, like me. Such a male customer is not suitable."

Seeing Lin Xiaoqiao look a little disappointed after speaking, he continued, "Actually, not everyone likes all the food, so there should be a market for your sanzi."
