After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Shui Qing looked at Qin Yilin's excited expression, and her suspicions became even more intense.

So happy, what happy event could it be?

Entering the tea room, Qin Yilin knew that no one was there, so he pulled Shui Qing and asked with bright eyes: "Shuiqing, what is that white lump stewed in your ribs? Do you know?"

Shui Qing's heart skipped a beat.

Of course she knew that they were yams bought from the mall. Yams are good for the human body. From time to time, she would buy some to stew pork ribs or stir-fry fungus, and the family would eat them together.

She also bought a yam planting book and read it, confirming that the climate and soil in Quang Ninh Province are suitable for yam growth, indicating that it may be available here.

I also thought about the rhetoric: It was dug in the back mountain.

However, Qin Yilin cannot know this.

She blinked her eyes, pretending to be surprised and ignorant and asked, "I don't know, do you want to know?

We dug it in the back mountain. After removing the skin, we found that the snow was white and beautiful. We fed the chickens and found that it was fine, so my family started to eat it too. It’s quite delicious, isn’t it? "

Qin Yilin showed a knowing expression and happily explained in detail: "This is also a medicinal material. It is called yam in the drug store. It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and lungs, strengthening the kidneys and replenishing essence;

It can not only cure asthma and cough caused by lung deficiency, but also cure spermatorrhea due to kidney deficiency. If you think about these two effects alone, its price will not be low! "

Shui Qing showed a shocked expression at the right time, and then asked: "Then how much can it sell for?"

Some of the shock was feigned, but most of it was sincere.

She now has a lot of money in the shopping mall, earning money first from mushrooms and chicken head rice, and then from fish maw.

Isinglass is expensive but rarely consumed. Mushrooms are the most reliable source and can also benefit the villagers of Shanshui Village.

The only bad thing is that the money in the mall has not been cashed out this year - Polygonum multiflorum is harvested in autumn, and it is a precious medicinal material. The quantity is too large and conspicuous, and it is not sold until November.

We can only wait until this autumn to openly sell the ones on the mountain behind our house.

I have sold the writing brush many times, but also in secret. After all, I did not make it by myself, so I feel guilty.

Therefore, what Shui Qing wants most now is something that can be cashed out!

You can still cash out openly!

Seeing that Shui Qing was interested, Qin Yilin knew everything and said: "Fresh yam can be used to make medicinal meals and cakes, and can be sold to wealthy families. However, fresh yam has a drawback. It cannot be stored. It takes more than an hour to travel from Shanshui Village to Quang Ninh Province. , let alone outside.

Moreover, there are only a limited number of wealthy people in Guang Ninh Prefecture, and the number of people who can buy it is also limited, so we still need to concoct it and sell it to the drug store. "

Shui Qing listened quietly.

She knew that the medicinal materials needed to be processed. After the yam was processed, it was dried, right?

Does it just dry in the sun?

"Prepared yam can also be used to make cakes and medicinal meals, Jinling." Qin Yilin paused, coughed, and then said: "The wealthy families in other prefectures like it very much. The more people buy, the more medicine shops buy, and the price Then it rises.

In fact, the price of fresh yam is also very good, ranging from 400 to 400 yam per catty, and the prepared one is more than [-] mun per catty. Don’t look at it, more than [-] yen per catty is much more expensive. That’s because five or six catties of fresh yam can Get a pound of dried yam! "

Shui Qing was keenly aware that Qin Yilin was related to Jinling.

It's unnatural to mention it, and it's deliberately avoided.

But everyone has their own secrets, doesn’t she too? There is no need to explore, just live your life now.

She concluded: "It is cost-effective to sell fresh food when the quantity is small, but not when the quantity is large. The weather is hot and the food rots quickly. There are few people in Fucheng buying it, so it is too late."

Qin Yilin likes to talk to smart people, it saves her worries!

No need to explain again and again, just one point.

"Yes, so if you don't have a lot, just sell fresh ones. If you have a lot, I'll teach you how to make it."

Shuiqing must learn how to cook it.

Isn't it the mall that has the final say on whether the output of the back mountain is high or low?

Moreover, she had read a book on yam cultivation and found that the climate and temperature in Shanshui Village were suitable for cultivation. Later, she could buy seeds and plant them in large quantities, and they would be able to sell them openly in the future!

She looked at Qin Yilin and asked happily: "Should it be peeled, sliced ​​and dried in the sun? If it's rainy weather, it has to be dried?"

Qin Yilin smiled and said: "That's okay, but if you don't dry it in time, it will easily turn black. If it's not baked well, it will turn yellow. If it doesn't look good, it won't sell at a high price.

There are also some unscrupulous people who use sulfur to smoke the yams in order to make them white and sell well. Don't do it. The shopkeepers of those smoked medicine shops can tell at a glance that they are not good. "

What Shui Qing was thinking was, let alone here, even in China, there were many black-hearted people who smoked medicine!

This is what she hates the most. She originally bought the food for good health, but ended up eating a bunch of messy and bad things. How can she be good for her health?

She promised: "Don't worry, I will never smoke it with medicine!"

Qin Yilin, as a medicinal material family, has a deep-rooted insistence on the quality of medicinal materials. After hearing Shuiqing's guarantee, he taught carefully and carefully: "First use straw or pumpkin leaves to scrub the yams clean. In fact, pumpkin leaves are the best because they have The furry ones can be brushed very clean.

Then cut it into small pieces and steam it in a pot for half a stick of incense. If it is too short, it will be too long or it will be too rotten.

After cooling, peel off the skin, cut into slices and dry in the sun, usually four to five days.

The yam prepared in this way will not turn black or yellow, but will be white and delicate, of good quality, and the skin touched during peeling will not be painful or itchy. "

Preparation of medicinal materials is originally a unique craft that is not easily spread to the outside world.

But isn’t the same with cooking? Shui Qing taught her how to cook without any secrets, and she was naturally willing to teach Shui Qing how to prepare yam.

People are all mutual.

Only now did Shui Qing know why the medicinal materials had to be concocted!

The traditional method is troublesome, but it is natural, pollution-free and good for the body.

If you want to open up the market without being affected by the length of the journey or the weather, it is necessary to prepare medicinal materials.

Thinking of the Polygonum multiflorum growing all over the back mountain, and looking at Qin Yilin in front of her, Shui Qing had a vague idea in her heart.

She knows that the inheritance of craftsmanship is very strict. For ordinary families or masters and apprentices, Qin Yilin taught her that yam is already very good, so she can't push too far without knowing where to measure.

However, she can cooperate with Qin Yilin.

She provides the medicinal materials and the Ding family prepares them. The two families are in a cooperative relationship and the money from the sales is divided proportionally. Qin Yilin should know this better than her.

If you are too busy, you can also ask the quick-footed women in the village to help. The two of them are not tired, and they can also increase the income of the women in the village.

The more Shuiqing thought about it, the more feasible it became.

Qin Yilin looked at Shui Qing with eyes as bright as stars, always feeling that something was going to happen?

Shui Qing probably wouldn't trick her... Looking back many years later, she just wanted to cry!

Her happy and comfortable days were gone forever from now on.
