The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 128 Green Leaf
Bring to a boil.

Add some spices.

Star anise cinnamon or something.

When it boils, put the eggs in.

It changed color in no time.

The eggs have a tangy aroma.

Remove from pan.

It's still hot.

Peel the eggs thinly.

"Try it, tea egg."

The strong tea fragrance makes people very appetizing, but this kind of tea eggs can't be put on the big table.

It can only be used as a tooth-beating festival in ordinary times, and it is definitely not acceptable for those kind of distinguished guests.

Now there are tea eggs.

The tea leaves of Runtu, together with some homemade ingredients, make the fragrance more intense.

Check out the ability to tell villagers this recipe so they can support multiple families.

Runtu also thought about doing the tea egg business, but the profit was low.

There is also a great need for labor costs.It is really difficult to do it, and there are many competitors.

After thinking about it this way, forget it.

There are still many businesses that can be done under his hands, and it is better for the villagers to do this.

"Ergou, is the shed ready? Go to the shed and have a look."

It is winter now, and there are relatively few plants that can be planted.

Naturally, it is impossible to grow opium.

If you want to earn more, you need to grow in greenhouses and out of season.

Especially in some sandy land, those who grow melons and fruits can be planted in greenhouses.

Translucent silk cloth for a few acres of land, and oilcloth for a few acres of land.The effect is about the same.

After thinking about it in my heart, if vegetables and fruits can be grown in winter, there should be a lot of profits.

Some have even been planted.

There are dozens of watermelons.

Set the price a little higher.

If there are too many species, they can be sold to Shaoxing and Hangzhou through Caobang.

This is all for the villagers to find a living.

Went to see the shed.

The yield per mu is very high.Up to several hundred catties.

It's bleak outside, and you can still see white snow.

But the greenhouse is full of greenery.

There are some for sale, but the quantity sold is relatively small.

Rare things are more expensive, and if you sell them for less, you can get a better price.

"Master."

The dealers greeted their owners one after another.

"Boss, look at what grows here. Even in summer, I'm afraid they won't be able to grow such good crops. The fertilizer you ordered is very effective."

The dealers spoke in admiration.

It was originally a farmer's business, but I didn't expect the owner to do it so well.Thinking that the owner is the master Juren can make sense.

The land can grow so well, the owner has already made preparations.

Collected leaves, waste, animal manure, hay, fallen leaves, etc. are piled up, and the accumulation process will generate heat. Under the condition of high temperature fermentation, most of the bacteria inside will be killed.Fertilizer is formed after a few months of accumulation.

It grows so well only if it is scattered in the ground.

Just relying on this method of hand-made fat, they can eat enough and wear warmth in this era.

Runtu: "Cut off the best stubble that grows here, as long as the top young leaves are pointed. Be careful, this is for giving away."

Explain it carefully to them.

When the farmers heard the words, they naturally worked very hard.

The boss gave a lot of benefits, and they worked very vigorously.

Very detailed.

Listening to the owner's instructions, I only took the tip of the young leaves on top.

Dozens of acres of land.

Fruits and vegetables, not so much.

Part of it is given away, and the rest is sold.

Within a few days, watermelons and vegetables began to be sold in the city.

There are many onlookers.

Even question these melons and fruits.

Asked: "Is this melon ripe?"

The villagers directly split the melon in half with a knife, and the bright red flesh inside looked ripe.

"My lord, look, they are all high-quality melons, and they can't be sold anywhere else."

"A few pennies per catty."

Villager: "How much is it? We sell it individually, one hundred yuan each. Except for ours, the emperor doesn't eat watermelons this season."

"One hundred coins, why don't you go grab it?"

Many people ask, but few buy.

To prevent others from asking, just write a hundred coins on the wooden board directly, and it is impossible to reduce the price. Even if it is rotten in the field, or eaten by yourself, it will not be sold at a reduced price.

News of watermelons appearing in the market began to spread, and many people came here admiringly.All are rich.

"The watermelon at this time, no matter how expensive it is, I have to buy it back. I bought this rare thing." He said loudly: "Two hundred Wen, give me two melons."

After a while, the business is getting better and better.

In more than an hour, more than half of the melons were sold.

After half an hour, more than 20 melons were sold out directly.

This business doesn't last long.

The news of selling green vegetables has spread throughout Kuaiji.

Everyone is asking about the situation.

Such a large land of [-] mu cannot be concealed.

The ancients were very wise, and greenhouse technology is not difficult, you can understand it after a little research.

It just costs a lot.

"Master, I found out that it was planted on Zhang's land."

"Continue to investigate. There must be something strange and knowledgeable about growing green vegetables in the winter. If we can grow them, we can make a fortune next year."

Today's green vegetables on the market cost as much as one tael of silver and ten catties.

Usually ten catties only cost a few tens of pennies, but at another time it would cost one tael of silver.

This is still the price at this time.

Ordinary wealthy families are reluctant to spend money to buy them.

Would rather wait a few months for myself to eat.

The Zhang family is doing barbecue now.

I brought iron wire, iron stove, iron fork and so on.

Various ingredients are prepared.Venison, pheasant, beef, mutton, you name it.

There are also fresh vegetables from the greenhouse.

I didn't feel anything when I saw those meats.

When the vegetables were served, I was shocked, how could there be these vegetables this month.

"Be careful, don't cut your hands."

Barbecue is a very good entertainment.

The members of the Zhang family gathered around the stove and began to roast.

Including servants and maids.

Now that they have changed to a new big house, there are a little more people, there are more than ten people.

Everyone started grilling.

Some are less capable.

But at least it will be baked before eating.

Occasionally burnt.

It comes from my own hands, even if the baked ones are not very delicious, I can still eat them comfortably.

"Dirty."

He said it was dirty, but he still ate it.

"It's a watermelon!"

Eating watermelon around the stove in winter is something they dare not think about.

Those green vegetables are outrageous enough, I didn't expect watermelon to come out directly now.

But eating barbecue and some watermelon is enough to relieve the tiredness.

Asked one after another, where did the green leaves and watermelon come from in this winter.

I heard that there are green leaves and watermelons on the street.

It's just that the price is very expensive.

The people in the house don't know that these green leaves and fruits are grown in Runtu's hometown.

Each of them was very puzzled.

"When I went out today, I saw someone selling green vegetables again. It was so expensive, I didn't buy it."

A maid in charge of grocery shopping in the Zhang family said.
