Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 142 Selling Bean Sprouts

After the birthday, Tong's life is still busy.The big tanks ordered by Da Lang and the others arrived. There were twenty of them in total, and a hole the size of an egg was drilled in the bottom of each.Now that the tank was delivered, Yuxian started to soak the beans.This big vat is slightly smaller than the ones for ordinary pickles, and larger than the basket used by Yuxian's grandmother in the previous life, so Yuxian soaked ten catties of mung beans.Soaking mung beans is different from soaking soybeans. When the water in the pot buzzed a little, Yuxian scooped the water into the big basin of mung beans with a ladle.Stir it in the basin with a strainer, and then clear the water. Yuxian can't do this job, so naturally Fang is there to help.What Yuxian meant was to teach Fang that with her small body, she couldn't do a lot of work.

After clearing the water for the first time, pour some more water into the big basin, more this time.Then stir it in the pot with a strainer, and some deflated beans and broken petals will be half-floated, and use a strainer to pick these up.Then repeat until you see less floating.Put the big pot on the pot table, and the beans will soak for about three hours.

Yuxian and the others soaked it in the afternoon, and just before going to bed at night, they decanted the water out.That is to cover the large basin with a curtain, and then tilt the large basin, and the water will flow out along the gap.When decanting, you must see the direction of the sorghum stalks on the curtain and cover them vertically, otherwise the water will flow everywhere.

Put the large basin of decanted water on the top of the kang, and cover it with a small quilt.At home, Fang's and Chuntao made a lot of small quilts, which were used for the bean sprouts.All the old quilts were dismantled and made into small quilts, and all the big quilts at home were replaced with new cotton ones.

The bean sprouts need to be strained every two to three hours, preferably two hours, this job Yuxian can't do it, because she can't move the decanting water, so the big basin is placed on the top of Fang's kang.In the middle of the night, Fang got up and filtered the bean sprouts with warm water.The water temperature is also particular. If it is too cold, it will not last long, and if it is too hot, it will rot. Try it with your hands, and it will be fine if it is slightly cooler.At this time, there is no thermometer, so it is really not easy to grasp.

In the afternoon of the second day, the mung beans began to twist their mouths, that is, they sprouted, and a small white tip grew out.On the third day, when the sprouts are one centimeter long, the bean sprouts should be put into the tank.Yuxian decided to put the bean sprouts in the wing room in the front yard. There are pots and stoves and kangs in that room, and there are earth dragons on the ground.At night, burn the earth dragon to keep the temperature in the house.Fang also agreed, although it is not convenient to be in the front yard, but it is not far away.Just get up at night and filter the bean sprouts.

On the third day, Yuxian soaked some more soybeans. The yield of soybean sprouts was low, so she soaked [-] catties of soybeans.Naturally, soybeans also need to be picked first. The picked soybeans are put into a large basin and poured into warm water.

Every night, Yunsong burns the house where the bean sprouts are kept on fire, so that the temperature in the house can still be maintained.It's just snowing now, and the weather is not too cold. When it gets colder, the fire in this house cannot be turned off.Fortunately, there is plenty of firewood, so I don't care much about it.

On the morning of the eighth day, Fang lifted the quilt covering the tank, and the bean sprouts inside had grown two inches long.Those two watercress have shriveled up, which means they have grown well.Yu Xian also came over, and when she saw this, she said, "Mom, these bean sprouts are ready, I'll take some to the town today, see how much Uncle Yue can ask for, and then let the elder brother come back and tell you, we will follow his instructions." Arrange as much as you want. Water the bean sprouts that have grown with cold water, and they won’t grow any more.”

"Okay, let's do it like this. Mother, go wash some, and then pack it up for you to bring. This time I go to the town, it will take a while to come back, right?" Fang felt that what Yuxian said made sense, so she found a A big pot, the bean sprouts pulled out are put into the big pot.The bean sprouts that have grown are densely packed together, as if they are standing in a row.The bean sprouts are very tender, and when you pull them out, you can hear the sound of some bean sprouts breaking off.

"Well, the autumn harvest has been delayed for a while, so I should stay there for a few more days this time. Not necessarily, mother can rest assured that Brother Haoyu is with me." Yuxian didn't go to Fang Yun's place for a while. It's better to stay for a longer time.

"Okay, it's important to get down to business, and learn from your master." Fang was busy getting bean sprouts out while talking to her daughter.He pulled out a big pot and brought it outside, where there was a big pot.There was some hot water in the pot, and Fang poured some more water into it.I reached out and tried it. The water temperature was just right, not too cold, so I poured the bean sprouts into it.To wash the mung bean sprouts, you need to wash off the skin of the mung bean. This also requires a method. You need to push the floating mung bean skin aside with your hands, and then grab the bean sprouts below.There were too many mung bean skins, so Fang took them out with his hands and threw them into a broken bucket.

"Mother, don't throw away these bean sprout skins, you can feed them to chickens. Mung beans clear away heat and detoxify, and feeding chicken bean sprout skins can also prevent chicken plague." In the previous life, other people's chickens were plagued, but theirs were fine.Grandma said that this is the credit of eating mung bean sprout skin.

"Yo, that's a good relationship. We will have more things to feed the chickens in the future." Fang was very happy to hear that.

After a while, Fang washed two large pots of bean sprouts, then put the bean sprouts in a large wooden bucket, and covered it with a small quilt.It happened that Da Lang also got on the cart and came in to call Yuxian, so Da Lang and Xiao San carried the wooden barrel and put it on the bullock cart.

Both Haoyu and Yuxian got into the car, and Yuxian also brought some toad oil. She wanted Fang Yun to see how fine the toad oil was.Da Lang drove the ox cart and walked slowly towards the town.At this time, the snow on the ground has not been completely covered, so the sledge cannot be used yet, only the car can be used.

When we arrived in town, we first went to Jishitang.Fang Yun happened to be there, so Yu Xian gave Fang Yun the toad oil for him to see, and then the siblings went to Juxian Tower.Boss Yue was also here today, and when he saw Yuxian, he said: "Girl Yuxian, you are not allowed to sell your wine to others. When it is finished, write me a letter, and I will go get it. You don't know, I'm selling it like crazy." Yes, there were thirty altars left, but now there are less than ten altars left. There are forty altars left at the grocery store, and they have been sold out. Many people have asked if there are any more." Boss Yue said happily. The face is full of smiles.

"Uncle Yue, I'll bring you a dish this time. It's cheap. We just have nothing to do in winter and want to earn some pocket money." After speaking, Da Lang and Xiao San moved the big wooden barrel down.Boss Yue stepped forward and lifted the quilt to take a look. There was something white and tender inside, which looked quite pleasing.

"This is called mung bean sprouts, which are made from mung beans. They can be fried and eaten, or they can be boiled and mixed. There are too few vegetables in winter in the north, and these bean sprouts can also be added to other dishes." Yu Xian introduced to Boss Yue road. "Besides, the price is not expensive. We give it to Uncle Yue for a pound, and Uncle Yue can sell it as he likes."

Boss Yue listened to Yuxian's words, thought about it, and thought it would work.The people in the town are not as good as the people in the countryside. They buy all their vegetables. If there is such a fresh vegetable in winter, everyone will buy some to take home.Don't look at the cheapness, if you calculate it, if the quantity is large, it is quite impressive. "Okay, you can leave these here with me today, and you can send them back tomorrow. If they sell well, we can grow some more. How many days will it take for this thing to grow?"

"It takes eight days to soak beans." Yuxian replied.

"Then go back and soak some more today. I think it can sell well. Come on, girl, go to the back and teach the cooks how to make this dish." Boss Yue wanted to taste the taste of this bean sprouts.

Yuxian followed into the kitchen, and the cooks knew her too. When they saw Yuxian, they knew that there might be new dishes.Yuxian told them how to stir-fry bean sprouts, and the cooks knew it as soon as they heard it, and immediately fried it out on a plate.After bringing it outside, Boss Yue took a few chopsticks and put them in his mouth, "Well, it tastes good, juicy and crisp."

At this time, the cooks mixed another plate and made a golden hook and silver buds, which was also taught by Yuxian.On the plate, white and tender bean sprouts and golden shrimps were fried together, which looked very appetizing. "This thing is worth promoting, okay, girl, let's just do what you said, two pennies per catty. I may have bought less a few days ago, and there will be more and more in the future. By then, your bean sprouts may be available for supply." .”

"Okay, don't worry, Uncle, we will give you as much as Uncle wants. By the way, I also have soybean sprouts at home, and I will give Uncle a taste when the time comes." Seeing that the matter has settled down, Yuxian is also happy .Don't look at this thing as if it doesn't have much profit, but if you can sell a tank every day, it's not bad.A catty of mung beans costs six renminbi, and ten catties of bean sprouts can be produced, which can be sold for twenty renminbi.If you do the math, you know it's still possible.There is nothing to do at home in winter, and besides, buying a piece of forest will cost almost all the money, so I can't just sit and eat.I earn a little money every day, even if I can change some of the things I use on weekdays.

"Soy beans can also produce bean sprouts? I really don't know that, okay, just bring it." Boss Yue readily agreed. "By the way, I haven't given you today's money yet, Xiao Liu, go and weigh it quickly, and then count the money for Yu Xian."

"No need, I don't know how it's selling today, so let's stay here and sell it. Uncle, let's go back first." Yuxian waved her hand, telling the waiter not to weigh it, and then got up and went out. "I'll send some to Uncle tomorrow and see how it goes."

"Okay, then I'll wait." Boss Yue watched Yuxian leave, and ordered the waiter to take half of it to the grocery store, and take out both sides. "This little girl really has some ghostly ideas."

Yuxian asked Dalang to go home directly and told his mother to soak another pot of mung beans.From now on, Dalang will come to the town to take a look every day, and then decide which day to soak the beans again.After explaining this, Yuxian and Haoyu went back to Jishitang.When we arrived at Jishi Hall, Shunzi was no longer in the lobby, and replaced by another person, who was about the same age as Shunzi, and quite clever.As soon as they saw Yu Xian and the others coming in, they hurried up to greet him: "The shopkeeper is in the back hall. He said it was you two who came back, so go directly to the back to find him."
