Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 12 Handling Ingredients
The kitchen was dark and rudimentary. With her extraordinary eyesight, she quickly found a clay pot of semolina, some coarse salt, and a jar of wine.

She first boiled a pot of hot water and boiled all the large bundle of bracken picked yesterday in boiling water. Then she washed the bracken again and put it in a large wooden basin, intending to soak a bunch of bracken in clean water. hour.

The bracken treated in this way has no astringent taste and is very delicious.

Afterwards, she began treating pig offal with flour and coarse salt.

People in this era don't eat pig offal, firstly because pig offal is dirty and smelly, and secondly because during the process of slaughtering pigs, the gallbladder tends to rupture, making pig offal bitter and poisonous. Cooking at high temperature will not eliminate it.

The wine can dissolve the gall water, and the bitter taste can be removed by wiping with coarse salt and flour several times.

At the end of Yinshi, she steamed a large pot of brown rice, and then began to use pig offal to make sauce for sautéed sausage, pig heart with pickled vegetables, and pork lung in red soup...

After finishing these dishes, she quickly fried the bracken.

Last night, when she was roasting snake meat, she asked the three maids to pick a large stack of lotus leaves for her in the pond. At this time, it would come in handy.

First, she lightly brought some food to the room where the three girls slept, then sent some food to the uncle in the fourth room, and finally, she brought some food to the second brother's room.

The second brother has a good temper, and he is not angry when she wakes him up.

"Adan, why did you get up so early?" Ye Qingyu sat up with difficulty, and asked with concern, "But the insults from my aunt and grandma last night made you take it to heart?"

Ye Qiongdan shook his head, and delivered the food to the table: "Second brother, I'm going to sell some food at the pier next to the canal, try it and see if it tastes good?"

It took Ye Qingyu a while to see the food on the plate clearly.

Ye Qingyu frowned, he didn't think astringent bracken and bitter pig's water could be sold, but he still stretched out his chopsticks with dignity.

Ye Qiongdan said: "The wild boar hunted yesterday was huge, and a lot of pig offal was taken. I left sixty copper coins here for you, which is enough to pay for oil, salt, flour, wine and brown rice. The pig offal and bracken are both It is a no-cost business, and the processing fee is not much copper, and the worst brown rice is not expensive, six cents a catty, let's add more water to the rice. Add three catties of water to one catty of rice, and you can cook two catties of rice! "

Ye Qiongdan didn't mind not paying any money for materials, but she was afraid that her second brother would be bullied at home.

Ye Qingyu tasted the food in front of him, his eyes revealed a light of surprise.

"Third sister is really smart. If this meal is placed by the canal, it will definitely sell well. How much does Sanmei plan to sell for a meal?"

"The cost is the sixty coppers I handed over to you. I plan to take more than ten catties of cooked rice to the city. If a man eats four taels of rice for a meal, he can sell about thirty servings of rice, one meal Five cents, after deducting the cost, you can still earn ninety cents!" Ye Qiongdan pointed his fingers and calculated, "This is just the beginning!"

Ye Qingyu thought to himself, the prices in the town are high, even a bowl of Yangchun noodles sprinkled with chopped green onions costs ten yuan, Sanmei's meal not only contains meat, but also sold so cheaply, it will definitely sell well .

After eating, Ye Qiongdan went to the kitchen to pack the rest of the meal and put it in a big wooden barrel.

She moved the big wooden barrel to the donkey cart at the head of the village, waiting to enter the city.

The transportation in the village is very underdeveloped. Except for the old donkey who drives a cart for a living, no family in the village has a car.

However, the donkey cart of the old donkey head is said to be a cart, and it is almost the same as a few wooden boards with wheels inlaid. , can barely be considered circular.

After a while, the second daughter-in-law came over. She didn't know that Ye Qiongdan was going to sell food by the pier.

After about half a stick of incense, the car was full of people, and everyone knew that the second daughter-in-law was going to the Yamen today, and she was going to withdraw the lawsuit, so they joked that they wanted to go to the Yamen with them to watch the fun, which made the second daughter-in-law angry with embarrassment .
