Because Shen Xingye said his father had never eaten it, and he was tired of banquets these days, so it was a good opportunity to eat hotpot to relieve the greasiness.
She cooked lacquer oil hotpot, not black bean hotpot. There were still a few fish left from the ones Li Dazhui and his friends had sent over, so she asked Lu Yan to process two of them and make them into fish balls, and also made a few coriander and pork balls with pork tenderloin.
In addition to his own dried mushrooms, various meat slices, vegetables and so on, Su Ziling also made a pot of bean powder, some egg dumplings, fried eggs, and washed and braised pig's feet and pig intestines to make a hot pot together.
The pigs that were just slaughtered the day before yesterday, there were quite a lot of chicken intestines, duck intestines, and fat intestines, plus fish, shrimp and other things, and two potatoes and taro were peeled and cooked in it, and finally a handful of wide vermicelli. This meal is quite sumptuous.
She started producing wide vermicelli after she made a mold, so that it would be easier to cook when eating hot pot. She even made some sweet potato skins and took them to the valley to roast and sell.
Not only people passing by like to eat it, but the nearby villagers also like it very much, mainly because it tastes good, is sticky, and is not expensive, and it is filled with a lot of rich small ingredients.
Su Ziling thought that there were a lot of chickens, ducks and pigs being raised now, and there were quite a lot of them in their village alone.
Because they needed to ferment manure, people from other villages also started raising animals, including rabbits. She was thinking of finding some time to order a few barbecue grills. Then she could open a barbecue restaurant in the county and sell roasted pork belly, chicken, duck, rabbit, fish, and vegetables. Business would surely be good.
After the meal, he changed his words and collected the change of words fee, and the matter was settled.
Shen Xingye also heard the word "big brother" as he wished. He looked so handsome. When he saw Lu Yan, his eyes flashed and he smiled with some ill intention.
He moved over, raised his hand to hook his shoulder, and leaned on Lu Yan like a boneless person, "You kid, I didn't expect that you would have this day, did you?"
"Come and call me big brother!"
Lu Yan turned his head and glanced at him, unmoved.
Shen Xingye raised his eyebrows, looking proud, "Since my sister has called me, you shouldn't follow suit?" He simply skipped the words Xiaoqing and called her sister directly.
"Brother-in-law?"
The corner of Lu Yan's mouth twitched, and then he raised his hand and took Shen Xingye's hand off his shoulder. He slowly clenched his fingers and increased his strength little by little, "Okay, big brother, where's my compensation for changing my statement?"
Shen Xingye's face gradually turned red and warm, "Let go."
"Brother, what did you say?" Lu Yan asked with a smile.
"Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong." Shen Xingye quickly admitted his mistake. When Lu Yan let go of his hand, he shook his hand and stepped aside, "You don't know any rules at all!"
"Huh?" Lu Yan took a step forward, scaring him so much that he quickly sat down next to Grandma Su for shelter.
Lu Jingyu and Shen Hongyin did not stay long. They returned to the border after only one day. They needed someone to stay there. Fortunately, it only took two days to get from Baihua Cave to the border.
"We originally wanted to let our foster father and elder brother stay for two more nights," Su Ziling and Lu Yan sent them to Lumen Mountain.
Lu Yan was also carrying a bag on his back, which contained some lacquer oil hot pot base and barbecue ingredients.
I took them to have a barbecue yesterday. Shen Hongyin liked it very much, so Su Ziling packed some seasonings for him.
"It's okay. It's not far away. If you miss your foster father, let Lu Yan bring you over. Then I'll take you around the area. Although it's not as good as your village, there are still many delicious foods there."
Shen Hongyin led the horse, Su Ziling walked in front, and Lu Jingyu and Lu Yan walked behind.
"Are those the tea oil trees you planted up there?" Shen Hongyin looked up at the hillside and saw holes dug there. The grass around the holes had been cleared away.
"Yes, this whole area is full of them. They will bear fruit next year. When the oil is pressed, I will send some to my godfather for him to taste."
Su Ziling is very concerned about this patch of oil tea trees. He comes to see them whenever he has time, weeding and applying fertilizers. The oil tea trees are growing well and will probably bear fruit next year.
Su Ziling pointed to the valley ahead and said, "This is where we set up our stall. There are many caravans coming and going now, and the line is getting longer and longer. Villagers nearby will bring their goods here to sell, and they will also buy things here if they need them. It is much more convenient than going to the town or the county."
"Not bad, not bad," Shen Hongyin sniffed gently and said with a smile, "I can smell the fragrance. Let's go and take a look."
There are many categories of things, and many daily necessities are also quite complete, but most of the things are food.
After walking a few steps, they saw a man selling divine tofu. Shen Hongyin paused when he saw him, and Su Ziling asked someone to mix him a bowl of tofu.
The leaves of the Bombyx mori have just sprouted these few days, and the quantity is not large. Relatively speaking, it tastes much better when I eat it for the first time.
After eating the magical tofu, they went to eat grilled tofu and grilled sweet potato skin. Su Ziling also packed a rabbit for them and even gave them a jar of pickled tofu.
If the two of them could carry more things, Su Ziling would have packed some of each for them.
"Wait a couple of days, when the mushrooms are ready, I'll have someone send some to my godfather. I can't send Jianshouqing, but I can send some mushroom sauce, dried mushrooms, and horse-pudding mushrooms. You can make fried rice with them then."
Shen Hongyin nodded repeatedly, "Okay, and the pickles you made, give me some of the kohlrabi roots, fermented bean curd, shallots, pickled peppers, pickled ginger, etc. Your pickles are delicious, use them with steamed buns and porridge."
After seeing off Shen Hongyin and Lu Jingyu, Shen Xingye also got up and returned to the county. He came here by carriage and took a lot of things with him when he left.
He liked this and that, and because of the relationship between the two families, Grandma Su liked him especially, so she simply brought him a little bit of everything. If Chang Ce hadn't said with a stern face that the carriage could not fit any more, I'm afraid he would have carried two jars of wine into the carriage.
After marriage, the two moved to Lu Yan's place, but they still had their meals at the old house.
In April, the rainfall gradually increased and the seeds in Baihua Cave began to be planted.
Weeding, fertilizing and soil cultivation begin in mid-April, and by May, the rapeseed planted earlier can be harvested.
Perhaps the seeds were not very good, and the yield of rapeseed was not high. Only 150 kilograms of rapeseed were produced per acre. Su Ziling planted four acres and harvested a total of more than 620 kilograms of rapeseed.
Moreover, the oil yield of rapeseed is not very high. One hundred kilograms of rapeseed only produces about 40 kilograms of oil.
From four mu of land, we squeezed out more than 240 kilograms of rapeseed oil. This amount of oil is enough for 30 households in the village to use for a year, but their families use the oil in more places.
Frying chili peppers and chicken mushrooms requires a lot of oil, and since they also occasionally fry some other foods at home, it seems that the oil is not enough.
So there is no plan to sell it, but they can sell some soybean oil. Compared with rapeseed oil, they still prefer rapeseed oil.
In addition to tea oil, lacquer oil and lard, their family is not short of oil.
However, many people who helped harvest rapeseed knew that the rapeseed could be used to extract oil. After asking about the yield and price, many of them were interested.
After all, this is the early spring, not the late spring, so it will not affect the food supply. At most, we will plant fewer radishes, peas, wheat and the like. Rapeseed is much more cost-effective than those.
Seeing that they were interested, Su Ziling also carefully told them some precautions for planting. After hearing how troublesome it was, everyone hesitated for a moment, but still decided to plant a little and give it a try.
Therefore, she asked Su Ziling to leave some seeds for them, and agreed that she would sell them to her after they were planted next year.
June is the time of the year when mushrooms explode. This year, Su Ziling was well prepared and built the workshop early. The workshop has now been expanded to all the villages and counties that were not built last year.
They even built a sweet potato workshop. Last year, many people planted sweet potatoes, but since there was no workshop near their village, many people had to send their potatoes to places far away.
Building the workshop this year will save them some effort. When the time comes, the sweet potatoes can be dug up and sent directly to the workshop. Su Ziling cannot take care of so many things, so he does not plan to make vermicelli in the workshop outside.
Generally, they filter the powder, dry it and then transport it to her, and then send it to the workshops she trusts more to be processed into vermicelli.
The first thing he did when he had too many mushrooms was to send mushroom jam to Shen Hongyin and others at the border.
In addition to mushroom sauce, she also gave some dried mushrooms, dried vegetables, dried pickled vegetables, dried radishes, dried mushrooms and horseradish.
She has written down the recipe for making pickled vegetables, so she can just make Qinglong Guohai Soup. In the hot summer, a bowl of soup with its sour and spicy taste is very appetizing. The most important thing is that it is easy to make.
As for Shangjing, Shen Xingye was transferred in early May, or to be more precise, he was promoted.
The new county magistrate seemed to have received instructions from someone and took good care of Su Ziling's restaurant and dining establishments.
He even helped to deal with troubles in the workshop. Sometimes Su Ziling even wondered if he had nothing to do and just watched over her businesses all day.
Because Shen Xingye left, the route to Beijing seemed to be broken, so Su Ziling formed her own caravan. Lu Yan helped her find people. When she saw these people, she was stunned.
"These people are for you. You can decide what they are suitable for and assign them some tasks. By the way, wouldn't you feel uneasy if your workshops don't have your own people looking after them? You can just send them over. You can be 100% confident in these people."
Hearing Lu Yan's words, the group of people were stunned for a moment. When Lu Yan gathered them together, they thought something had happened. They didn't dare to delay for a moment and came over quickly.
But when I saw the gathering place, I was a little confused. I thought that since they chose such a remote place to gather, it seemed like they were going to do something big.
who knows……
A group of people looked at each other, confused, but no one asked.
Su Ziling took a look at these people. They were all young men, about eighteen or nineteen years old. The older ones were only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
"They are not," she leaned closer and lowered her voice, "Aren't they the Qingyi Guards?"
"Well," Lu Yan nodded, "Anyway, there's nothing to do right now, so you can arrange it. If you don't find work for them, they will just find some odd jobs on their own. It's better to save money for ourselves than for others."
The corners of Su Ziling's mouth twitched, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"What? It doesn't look like it's working? Then I'll get another batch." He said as he was about to wave his hand to send them away.
Su Ziling grabbed his hand and was about to speak when he saw the group of young men looking at each other and starting to act pitifully.
"Please, sister-in-law, leave us alone!"
"Yes, we might have done it. We are good at both civil and military affairs. We can beat up scoundrels and deal with ruffians."
"I have been traveling all these years, living on the edge of a knife every day, afraid that one day I would wake up and my head would not be on my neck. It is not easy for me to settle down. Please accept us, sister-in-law."
As soon as this person finished speaking, the others' eyes widened, and they looked at each other, thinking: We just want to stay. We agreed to just play the victim, but we didn't say it would be this pitiful!
In that case,
One of them covered his face and cried, "I have been following the boss for these years. I have been hungry for nine meals out of three days. Sometimes I have no food for the next meal after eating the last one. I am already 25 years old, but I am not as tall as someone who is 18 years old."
Not only Lu Yan couldn't stand it anymore, but the others couldn't stand it either, and they whispered, "Shameless, isn't he seventeen this year? Isn't it normal that he's not as old as eighteen? He's still twenty-five, he really did everything he could to stay."
Turning around, the others also started crying and told their own tragic stories. Su Ziling's mouth twitched, and he looked up at Lu Yan, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Is he really yours?"
After all, he had seen many Blue Guards, some of whom were lively and aloof, but this was the first time he had seen people like them.
Lu Yan also hesitated, "Maybe not. Maybe it was swapped?"
Seeing that the two did not say anything, those people continued, "We don't dare to ask for monthly wages or anything like that, we just ask sister-in-law to give us a full meal."
Seeing that they were ready to continue crying if she didn't agree, Su Ziling looked at Lu Yan, "Are you sure you want to give it to me? Isn't this a waste of talent?"
Lu Yan made the decision for her. "You said that no one was delivering the goods. It would be too expensive to find a caravan. Then why not just let them deliver the goods? This way, we will have our own caravan."
Su Ziling's eyes lit up, "That's feasible!"
This group of people are highly skilled in martial arts and have been traveling all year round. They are familiar with road conditions, and their running around also helps them collect information.
The caravan was thus formed.
After the caravan was established, the first place they went to was Shangjing. The shop there belonged to Shen Xingye, so they just had to deliver the goods directly.
That guy whispered to the delivery man several times and also wrote a letter to Su Ziling, muttering all the same: he could no longer eat mushroom hotpot, rice with green onion, or fried rice with dried mushrooms.
The words between the lines all said that he missed them and his grandmother, but Su Ziling read from beginning to end and felt that he really wanted to eat, but he missed them? That's not necessarily the case.
