Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family
Chapter 35: Inquire about information
Acorn powder can also be fermented with flour to make steamed buns, and the bitterness of the fermented acorn powder will be lighter.
My family members are also very much looking forward to seeing what the dry food made from acorn flour will look like.
Zhou Chunfeng came to the kitchen to help her daughter make pancakes, and Zheng Qingming helped them both light the fire.
After a large pot of pancakes came out of the pan, the people who had been waiting for half a day couldn't wait to reach out for the pancakes.
Old man Zheng took a big bite of the pancake and savored it carefully in his mouth. The pancake made of acorn flour had a very unique fragrance.
There is still a slight bitter taste in the taste, but it does not affect the consumption.
Zheng Xiaoman also took a bite of the pancake and tasted the bitterness in it.
She thought that the acorns needed to be soaked for a longer time, and the longer they were soaked, the less bitter they would be.
But this is already very good, and you can hardly taste it unless you taste it carefully.
This time she didn't use the spiritual spring water. If she used the spiritual spring water to knead the dough, there would be no bitterness at all.
Overall, this acorn flour was very successful.
Then she thought of another thing. Now no one knows that acorns are edible, but once people know about it, there won’t be enough acorns in this forest for so many people to pick them.
The best way is for her family to buy the land behind the mountain, and then others will have to go to other places to pick up the fruits.
Alas, after going around in circles, we finally come back to the topic of making money.
She stuffed the last bite of biscuit into her mouth. It was time to put making money on the agenda.
In the next few days, the family went to the mountain to pick acorns every morning and came back in the afternoon to soak them in water.
Because it was too troublesome to change the water every day, Zheng Dashan wove several extra-large bamboo baskets at home. They put the acorns in them and then soaked them in the river water. This made it much more convenient.
The two families running up the mountain like this every day soon attracted the attention of others.
Especially Ma Meihua, she secretly followed him up the mountain several times.
When she found out that they went up the mountain just to pick acorns, she completely lost interest in following them.
Haha, it seems that the second brother’s family is so poor that they even treat these broken acorns as delicacies.
Normally, few people come to the mountain near their home, but recently more and more people have come here.
Of course, everyone saw what they picked up, but there are always people who are more cunning and think that things must not be as simple as they seem.
Just this morning, Zheng Xiaoman did not go up the mountain, and someone from home came to inquire about the news.
Zheng Xiaoman and other family members went to the back mountain, and he dug a hole in the backyard.
The earthworms that she and her elder brother had raised before were all alive, which proved that this method was feasible.
The two of them planned to get a larger piece of land in the backyard and raise more earthworms.
Moreover, Zheng Xiaoman discovered yesterday that among the rabbits she had caught earlier, the female rabbit was very restless.
She guessed that the female rabbit was about to give birth, so she stayed to watch over it.
When the other person came over, she happened to be coming back from the backyard to drink water.
As soon as she got there, she saw a woman looking around in her yard like a thief.
Zheng Xiaoman knew this person, she was Lamei's mother.
He is the weirdo who raises his daughter like a city girl and only wants to marry her to a rich man.
"Aunt, what are you doing? What's so good about this shabby yard of my house?"
Zheng Xiaoman thought she didn't look like a good person because of her shifty look.
La Mei Niang was startled. She didn't notice Zheng Xiaoman coming over.
She said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "Oh, it's Xiaoman girl, she walked without making any sound and scared Auntie."
Zheng Xiaoman laughed, "What you said is true, auntie, this is my home, I was not scared by your sudden entry, but you were scared by me.
Do I have to shout a few times while walking?"
"Look at you girl, you have such a sharp tongue. I just said that one sentence, and you said so much." La Mei Niang pouted unhappily.
Zheng Xiaoman was also convinced by her and didn't intend to argue with her as she still had a lot of work to do.
"Auntie, what brings you to my house?"
Mother Lamei rolled her eyes and said, "Haha, Xiaoman, I heard that your family went up the mountain to pick up a lot of acorns recently. What are you doing with them?"
Zheng Xiaoman raised his eyebrows. Oh, so this is why you came here.
"Auntie, what can we do with picking acorns? Eat them." She didn't lie. It was for eating.
Lady Lamei obviously didn't believe it. "Don't try to fool me. Acorns are extremely bitter. This isn't a disaster year. Who would eat this? Look, we all live in the same village. How can you still fool me?"
Zheng Xiaoman laughed out loud, "Aunt, what do you think my family is doing with these acorns?"
"How would I know? I'm just asking you."
"Yeah, you come to ask me, and you don't believe me when I tell you, so what can I do?" Zheng Xiaoman spread his hands. No one would believe him if he told the truth.
Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of her, La Mei Niang immediately looked displeased.
"Alright, alright, stop making up lies to deceive me. Go out and ask who would believe you if you said this.
You old Zheng family are really more cunning than the other. You are so cunning at such a young age."
Zheng Xiaoman also stopped laughing, "Yes, our family is smart. It's better to be more thoughtful than to be treated as a fool. Some people's little thoughts are almost written on their faces.
Auntie, I still have work to do, so I won’t see you off. Bye.”
As she said this, she walked to the gate of the fence, opened it, and made a gesture of invitation to her.
La Mei Niang was so angry. This damn girl really wouldn't accept any loss.
She snorted and walked out. When she passed by Zheng Xiaoman, she said sarcastically, "Xiaoman, auntie has one more thing to say. This person should not be too smart. Haven't you heard that suffering a loss is a blessing?
You are too cunning and that's why you have lost your good fortune."
After saying that, he glanced at the scar on Zheng Xiaoman's face intentionally or unintentionally.
Zheng Xiaoman smiled and said, "I eat everything, but I don't like to suffer losses. I can't afford this blessing from my aunt, so I'd better save it for your family's winter plum.
I wish your family happiness as vast as the East Sea, and take care."
"Hmph, do you think I came willingly?" La Mei Niang couldn't argue with Zheng Xiaoman, so she angrily pulled off her handkerchief and left.
Zheng Xiaoman even shouted from behind: "Aunt, if you don't want to come, don't come. You are living a good life, why are you making yourself unhappy?"
La Mei Niang turned around and glared at her fiercely, and this time she simply didn't say anything to her.
Zheng Xiaoman happily closed the gate. A villager passing by heard their conversation and looked at Zheng Xiaoman with strange eyes.
Zheng Xiaoman followed his gaze, still smiling, "What's up, uncle, do you want to come over to our house and sit for a while?"
The other party quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, uncle should go home now, hehe." Then he left quickly.
This little girl is too talkative, he'd better not go and cause trouble for herself.
Zheng Xiaoman clapped his hands in satisfaction and turned back to the backyard.
Yang Shuhuai, who watched the whole process, had a faint smile on his face. This little girl's words were quite interesting.
