Travel through ancient times to farm

Chapter 3 Making Money ([-])

"You are so old, don't scold my mother," said Qian's son Dou Dao, pointing at grandma Liu's nose.

Liu was stunned, she couldn't believe that her precious grandson would scold her like this, it must have been instigated by Qian, she couldn't bear to blame her grandson.

"Mr. Qian, you poisonous woman, you have taught my grandson badly," said Mrs. Liu so angry that her hair would stand on end.

"You are so old, you still scold my mother, and you, little bastard," Dou Dao pointed at Da Xuan, "Believe it or not, I will beat you again." Dou Zhan is tall and burly, and often bullies Da Xuan.

Daxuan really has no feelings for this cousin. Back then, she was able to travel here because of him. The brat just owes a lesson.

Daxuan took the broom to the door and waved it, shouting, "Don't bully my grandma."

Soybean ran away as fast as he could, the current Daxuan was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he couldn't run faster than throwing a broom at him, and there was a scream immediately.

Mrs. Qian didn't dare to show her anger. If she dared to scold others at this juncture, the old woman would definitely ask her eldest son to divorce her. She knew that her husband obeyed her mother's advice the most.

Grandma Liu's chest was tight and painful, Yao helped her into the house to do it, "Mother, you are going to have dinner here tonight," Yao said.

"Your father is still waiting for me to go back and cook," said Liu, afraid that the old man would be hungry, since she got married, she has been serving the old man.

"It's easy, just bring him back when the time comes," Yao thought it was a big deal.

"That's fine," said Liu, knowing that she was uncomfortable.

Yao has a good heart, so she sent Daxuan to the pork stall in the village to chop some pork. There was no rice at home, but fortunately, there were sweet potato vermicelli. Every year, the most sweet potatoes were produced, and every family turned them into sweet potato vermicelli.

Daxuan cooks the meat when she comes back from buying meat, and now Yao Shi is basically helping her. Daxuan rolls up her sleeves and minces the meat. Their family still has a lot of money to spend. Daxuan only buys ten yuan of meat, not much, so she just chops it The minced meat can be seen.

The vermicelli has been soaked in water. Daxuan chopped some garlic and red pepper. She likes to eat it. Heat up the wok and put a little lard, then add the minced meat and stir-fry the water, then add the minced chili and garlic, and finally boil the vermicelli. Boil the seasoning again, and it will be ready in a short while. She served three bowls of vermicelli, "Grandma, mother, come to eat." No one answered, she walked into the room, and Yao Shi had already packed two pieces of cloth.

"Mother, this cloth is for making clothes for you." The Yao family is famous for being filial, although her mother-in-law always dislikes her.

Daxuan is about to die of rage, so give it to her, I have to save some for myself, not to mention grandma doesn't want to see them, even though grandma is on their side today, the old man has never been chilled by the saying that he loves others, he likes whoever he likes, Daxuan is sure, One of these pieces of cloth will definitely be in the hands of the aunt tomorrow.

"It's time to eat." Da Xuan said loudly.

"Mother, let's go eat," Yao said.

"Okay." Mrs. Liu was in a good mood. The daughter-in-law honored her with two horses of material, so she could make several clothes.

Daxuan silently worked hard in front of the vermicelli, and her grandma was already serving the third bowl, and sick people could really eat it.

"Hey, are those mushrooms?" Liu's eyes were so bright that she saw it as soon as she put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Today Daxuan's mushrooms and Huniu's are all there, so she puts them in any corner.

"Yes, grandma," she didn't want it, Daxuan thought.

"I haven't eaten mushrooms from the mountains this year. Your grandpa likes to eat them the most," Liu sighed.

"Mother, if you like it, you can take it back and eat it, anyway, it's picked by the children." Mrs. Yao responded to Mrs. Liu's request, probably because Mrs. Liu had never been nice to her.

"Grandma, I'll pack some for you," Da Xuan went to pack right away, fearing that if it was her mother, she might send it all away.

"Daxuan, take all of them back to grandma. If you want to eat some other day, go pick them with Huniu," Yao said.

"I know," Da Xuan gritted her teeth.

This is matsutake, it's no brainer that my mother even bid farewell to grandma, grandma is so eccentric, she has never thought about them if there are delicious ones, to be honest, she doesn't want grandma to have dinner at her house at all.

In a gorgeous sunset, finally seeing grandma, the big Buddha, away, Mrs. Li held vermicelli in her left hand and a large bag of matsutake in her right, walking quickly.

Daxuan began to think about it, "Mother, why did you give all the cloth to grandma? Look at our quilt cover, the color of the clothes has faded after washing. Mother, it's not an ordinary mushroom, it's matsutake, very nutritious and very good You gave all the food to grandma, you don’t know, I bought Huniu’s for two taels of silver, and left it for you to make up for your body, if you say you can give it, why give it all to her, mother, grandma is right You are not good, I don't like her..."

Yao shi covered Daxuan's mouth and said, "Mother is as filial as you are."

Daxuan buried her head in Yao's arms, "Mother, you must be a good person"

"Look, your aunt likes to take advantage of her, and the people around her don't like her. Look at Dou, doesn't she look like an aunt? The children all follow suit. Your mother must be your role model, and you must be filial and kind. "Yao gently stroked her daughter's hair.

In this way, it seems to be the same reason.

Daxuan wanted to pick some more matsutake, so she went up the mountain with Huniu again early in the morning, but this time she was unlucky, and walked for an hour without finding anything.

"Let's go back after picking up some firewood," Huniu suggested.

That's the only way, pheasants and rabbits can't be caught anyway.

But Daxuan was lucky. When she was picking up firewood, she found a lot of Houttuynia cordata on the mountain, which was mixed with Zheergen. Her mouth watered just thinking about this dish.

"Huniu, help me dig this vegetable, I want the root, I'll cook it for you," Da Xuan said.

Huniu pulled a leaf and put it on her nose, it was very fishy, ​​but she would help no matter how smelly it was at the request of a good friend. After a while, the two baskets were full.

When I got home, Daxuan divided Houttuynia cordata into two parts. The first half was dried and sold at the pharmacy. The second half was used for cooking. The garlic was minced. Then add salt and soy sauce and vinegar, stir a few times at the end, and a plate of cold Zhe Ergen comes out of the oven.

"It's delicious," Hu Niu praised.

"I'll make some for you to take home, your parents will definitely like it too," Da Xuan said.

"Daxuan, you're the best," Huniu smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line.

"Huniu, let's go to the town for tea, I invite you," Da Xuan said boldly.

"Where do you have money?" Huniu asked.

"You just have to eat it," Daxuan said, planning to sell the braised rice eel and cold Zhe Ergen to Boss Li.

"Okay," she firmly believed in Da Xuan's words, there was nothing Da Xuan couldn't do if such a bad smell was cooked so deliciously.

Daxuan set off after preparing the ingredients. The journey only took half an hour, and it was not too late when she arrived at Li's private room for cooking. When Boss Li saw her coming, he stopped entertaining guests and came up to welcome her.

"What good food does Xiaowa have?" Boss Li said with a smile on his face. Because of this soup, there are one-third more customers in the store every day than before.

"Boss, we came all the way, we haven't had lunch yet, how about we chat while eating," Da Xuan knew that Huniu likes to eat.

"Must, Xiao Er, serve some good dishes," Boss Li said.

Daxuan took out the cold Zhe Er Gen from the lunch box, "Boss, you can try this first."

Boss Li picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth without hesitation, although he didn't know what it was.

"This food is slightly spicy and refreshing, and it is the most refreshing to eat in summer," Mr. Li commented.

"Guess what it is," Da Xuan said.

"I can't guess it," Boss Li shook his head. He has eaten countless delicacies, but he has never eaten this one.

Daxuan didn't whet his appetite anymore, "This is the root of Houttuynia cordata, also called Zheergen, and it tastes the most refreshing in cold salad."

Houttuynia cordata is cheap and everywhere, which means it is another dish with low cost and high profit.

"I'll sell your dish," Boss Li said.

"I have a condition," Da Xuan said.

"You said."

"I supply all the folded ear roots in your restaurant, and don't ask others," Daxuan regretted that Huang Eel didn't make this request last time, otherwise she would have a long-term income.

"It's easy to handle, five cents a catty, and it's delivered every morning, how about it," Boss Li said.

"It takes a few catties per day to make a deal." Da Xuan asked.

"Twenty catties a day first," Boss Li thought for a while.

Besides this soup, braised eel in brown sauce, Daxuan also sold him, and today he got 40 taels of silver.

Daxuan hurried home, she asked Huniu to gather her friends, and after a while, a dozen or so children of the same age came.

Daxuan spread her palms open, and showed two handfuls of broken silver in front of everyone. She said, "Now I have a long-term profitable job. Dig Houttuynia cordata for me before dinner. The root is especially important. It is divided into two parts, the root is worth a penny." One catty, the mud must be washed, and the leaves can be dried and sold in pharmacies, I only want the roots, and then I will pay for it and deliver it.”

The little brats are all boiling, she must be able to get so much money out of it, and after a while, everyone ran to dig Houttuynia cordata.

Before dinner in the evening, the task of twenty catties has been completed.
