Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 141
It is very easy to earn money for the red mushroom lady, since she does not have to go to the mountains and forests, and it is convenient to pick it up. Ning Wan went back to Sanjia Village by herself, and while receiving the goods, she transported them down the mountain with a donkey. heap.

Gao Qi's two merchants brought a lot of horses and carriages, but they were unwilling to reduce the previously ordered goods, and they wanted to add Red Mushroom Girl, so Ning Liang took them to find the old mule cart driver Yang.

The family used to use Lao Yang's cart to transport goods before, and although they bought a mule cart later, they still use it when they are busy, so they have always gotten along very well.Now when Lao Yang heard about the deal, he hesitated all night and still agreed, "I'm not just here to earn the money, but I also want to go to the capital to see what the emperor is like, so I won't work in vain in this life." Already!"

The farthest Ning Wan went was Anpingwei with Mrs. Zhao, but she had never been out of Liaodong, so she felt a little envious, "Uncle Yang, you are right!"

Gao Qi and the two laughed, "Lao Yang, the capital city is very different from Liaodong, you will never regret it if you come with us, and when you come back, we will help you find a merchant who delivered goods to Liaodong years ago. You can make some more money!"

After seeing off the visitors from the capital, Ning Wan said to her parents: "We can visit the shop in Hutai County now."

Since the beginning of the business, Ning Wan had said that she would open a shop in Hutai County in the future, but who would have thought it would be so soon.

Yu Shi was playing with Shitou on the kang, so he asked casually, "Didn't you say to wait another two years? If you want to buy it now, it should be this year that you have earned the money to buy the shop?"

My family moved from Sanjia Village to Mayi Town after doing business for two years. Originally, Ning Wan planned to work steadily in Mayi Town for a few years before moving to Hutai County. Many are not easy, and Hutai County is completely different from the small Mayi Town. There may be more troubles there, and it will be easier to lay a solid foundation.

Unexpectedly, there was a fortune from selling mung beans first, and then merchants in the capital received the goods at a high price. Now the family has earned enough money to open a shop in Hutai County early.In fact, having the money ready is only one aspect of it, and the more important thing is that Ning Wan feels that the timing should not be taken lightly. The sooner these mountain goods from her hometown are sent out, the earlier the money can be earned. There are much more opportunities to meet big merchants than Mayi Town, and the gap between a few years ahead and a few years behind will become wider and wider.

Why did Wu Er want to grab Dejufeng's business?It's not that the business of Shanhuo is promising.Although De Jufeng defeated Wu Er this time, Ning Wan knew that she had taken advantage of some foresight, and she would not always have such advantages in the future.In order for Dejufeng to survive no matter what setbacks it encounters, the only way is to expand its business first.

So Ning Wan said: "The money to buy a shop is enough, but Hutai County is not as good as the town, the houses there are extremely expensive, we can just buy a small shop first, and then we can find ways to expand when the business is good. Shop. I was eager to move there because I saw that Hutai County has a lot of people coming and going, and there are more opportunities to make money.”

Ning Liang was the person in his family who went to Hutai County the most times, so he also said, "Isn't it? Which of the more than [-] surrounding towns doesn't take a mule cart to Hutai County every day? These are just ordinary people. As for the rich If you buy something, you have to go to the county. As for soldiers, Anping guards, and people from the capital, it is not uncommon. I even saw barbarians who came to do business a few times!"

"Yi people still come to Hutai County to do business?"

"Of course there is. The imperial court still has a place to discuss on the frontier fortress. It is a place to do business with the barbarians." Ning Liang's knowledge is different from today, and he told Yu, "But the barbarians entered Hutai County. However, there must be special paperwork, and there are people to guide them, and they are not allowed to wander around. They enter the city in the morning and go out in the evening... After all, Hutai County is a border town where troops are stationed!"

Ning Wan wanted to move to Hutai County to do business, but in fact she had another reason that she couldn't tell anyone, that was, in her dream, the barbarians would invade in a few years. A town without walls like Mayi Town is very dangerous. Only in Hutai County with walls and garrisons can it be safe.

It's just that she was the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family at that time. Although she helped Mrs. Zhao with what the county's history should do, she didn't know much about the military situation. When did the barbarians invade?How many soldiers and horses are there?Which villages and towns did you pass through?When she got the news, she was already besieged in Hutai County.And since then, the dream has gradually blurred, only the stern face of the crippled general appeared clearly in front of her, as if he was asking questions, which made her feel agitated. Excellent, Mrs. Wu doesn't care about everything, and Second Young Master Lu is extremely magnanimous. Thinking about it, even if she feels unhappy in the future, it won't matter. Besides, Ning Wan instinctively feels that although the crippled general in the dream is strict, In fact, there was no malice, but it gave her an inexplicable feeling.

Ning Wan shook her head as before when she thought of this place, and said, "The reason why Hutai County has this name is because several dynasties ago a general built a building here. Soldiers were built on the platform, and the city built on the platform was called Hutai. I heard that the high terrain of the county town was formed by the piled up soil of [-] soldiers."

Mrs. Yu was amazed, "You said that we need to make a lot of adobe to build a small house, how many people are needed to make adobe for the city wall of Hutai County?"

Ning Liang laughed, "The city wall is not made of adobe!" He had repaired the city wall when he was in corvée, so he knew, "It was built directly with wooden planks and rammed earth, and bricks were built on both sides inside and outside since the dynasty. I heard people say that when Hutai County was first built, it took [-] soldiers, three years to build it, and more than two years to lay bricks. "

The family came here somehow, but as they got to know Hutai County, they felt great admiration in their hearts. They will live in such a city that has spent countless wealth and effort. go in?

Therefore, they were all full of longing, and the family discussed for a while.

This morning for dinner, Shitou took a steamed bun and took two bites, then suddenly put down the steamed bun and said, "Our family is going to move to Hutai County, father and third sister will visit the shop when they are free."

It was already winter, the weather was already cold, there was less work in the shop, and there were fewer helpers. A few guys were eating in the backyard, so only the four members of Ning's family and the seven members of Ning Qing's family lived together.

After everyone looked at each other, they all burst into laughter, and Yu said, "It's hard for a child like him to remember everything, and he learned this well."

It turned out that the family never avoided stones when talking together, so he remembered it and said it in public somehow.Everyone thought it was a fun thing, and laughed one after another: "Shitou is so smart!"

Only Ning Qing couldn't care less about laughing, but hurriedly asked: "Is our family really going to move to Hutai County?"

In fact, Ning Wan didn't really want to hide it from her. At this time, she said: "I plan to buy a shop in Hutai County, but not all of them will be moved to Hutai County. The shops in Mayi Town must be guarded."

Ning Qing fell silent, looked at Liu Wulang and lowered his head to eat again.

Ning Wan knew that Ning Qing and his wife must have some wishful thinking in their hearts, but she just pretended not to know, so she went to the vermicelli workshop after eating, "Master Liu said that the vermicelli can be frozen in the past two nights. Let’s make some vermicelli.”

In the spring and summer of this year, mung beans were sold at sky-high prices, and there was another plague. Therefore, mung beans in Liaodong area were much more diverse than before. In autumn, the price was [-] to [-] percent lower than in previous years.Ning Wan took advantage of this good opportunity to collect a lot of mung beans and prepared to make a large batch of mung bean vermicelli.The vermicelli has one advantage. It will not go bad after a few years. It is completely different from the mountain products that the family has previously operated. Therefore, it is suitable for Dejufeng to expand its business.

Making powder is very easy to say, pick and wash the mung beans, soak them for more than ten hours, then grind them into raw soybean milk and put them in a cold cloth bag, and filter out the mung bean powder milk.Pour the filtered powdered milk into a large tank to settle, pour out the filtered water, add water to stir and wash the precipitate, and then take it out and let it dry in the sun.

This half-dried mung bean flour is the material for making vermicelli.Mr. Liu used a basin to fill the powder and added cold water to make a very uniform powder water, then took a large copper spoon filled with half a spoonful of boiling water, poured the powder water into the mixture, and then added the dry powder , until it becomes a thick and sticky powder paste.

Seeing that the powder paste has reached the desired shape, Mr. Liu poured the powder paste into the "kow". "Kow" is a large copper-skinned spoon brought by Mr. Liu from Shandong. It is about one foot long, the bottom is more than half a foot wide, and there are many small round holes in the bottom of the spoon.Hold the "knock" with the handle in one hand, and tap the mung bean powder paste with the other hand, and the powder paste will come out through the bottom hole and become vermicelli.Mr. Liu brought several "knocks" and the thickness of each bottom hole is different, so that the leaked powder is different in thickness and thickness.

The vermicelli that leaked from the tap fell directly into the boiling water pot below. Seeing that the vermicelli was congealed into shape, Master Liu asked Ning Dahe to pick it up with long bamboo chopsticks and dip it in the cold water tank for a while, and finally hung it up. Put it on the wooden pole and freeze it outside, and it will not be the real vermicelli until it is frozen and formed the next day!

However, everything is easier said than done.From the very beginning of filtering the powder to the degree of stirring the powder paste in the vermicelli; how to make long and even vermicelli; and how long the vermicelli is placed in the boiling water pot and the cold water tank respectively, and how long the vermicelli is hung on the wooden pole No matter how long the vermicelli is suitable, every part depends on the experience accumulated by Mr. Liu for many years. If there is a slight mistake, the vermicelli will not be successful, and all the mung beans used will be useless.

Therefore, Ning Dahe, who was sent by Ning Wan to learn how to make noodles from Master Liu, stared at Master Liu's hand without even daring to blink. I couldn't let go of my heart until I got up early the next morning and saw that the vermicelli was ready, and I couldn't help but cheered, "Today I have wine and vegetables!"
