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

"I also think we can give it a try. Let's move some of it out first and just expand the quantity. It's a bit more tiring than before, but as long as we can make money!" Li Wu followed.

At worst, they would gather more fodder and prepare a lot of chaff.

He is not afraid of being tired, but he is afraid of running out of money.

Zhang Hui agreed: "Let's be more prudent, so we can raise more rabbits, and we can move them all later."

As the village gets better and better, the population will gradually increase. When there are more people, houses will be built, and the land for raising livestock will decrease. Sooner or later, they will have to move outside.

Besides, she saw that the water over there was very good. It was a place to live, and a place to raise livestock. The smell and feces could not be transmitted. It was great that the two sides did not disturb each other.

After the family made an agreement, the man in the family continued to dig bricks and build a house.

Wang Guifen and Zhang Hui are not idle either. Now Zhao Lan is working in the medicinal shop, and most of the household chores fall on them. Normally, the men in the family would share a large part of the work, but now it is more difficult and tiring for the men to do it. They work so hard every day that they wish they had twenty-four hours in a day!

The last thing that cannot be delayed is kudzu root, which is also an important source of money for the family.

Pueraria lobata is large, and it is normal for one plant to weigh more than ten pounds after being dug out! After drying, it does not lose weight as much as other vegetables. It is more like staple foods such as corn and soybeans. Even if it is dried, it is not too light.

A pound of kudzu root costs eighteen cents. You must know that in the past, grain merchants purchased their rice and wheat for only seven or eight cents a pound. The rice and wheat had to be served for several months, but kudzu root is naturally grown. It only takes some effort when selling it for money. This is just like picking up silver!

Therefore, in addition to feeding rabbits and other livestock, the most important thing is to dig, clean and dry kudzu.....

Shuiqing is also taking the time to dig and make kudzu root.

Not for selling, but for eating. To be honest, Shui Qing actually likes eating kudzu root powder.

Most of what is sold in the mall is adulterated with other starches and is not very authentic. The one I make is 100% pure wild kudzu powder - no chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used, so it can still be considered wild.

Li Dani and other five women were in charge of the core part of the herbal medicine shop and were basically inseparable. Fortunately, the other eighteen men were free after the busy farming season.

It can be moved wherever it is needed. It is hard-working and hard-working, and it is so easy to use.

Take advantage of the slack season to make kudzu root powder and store it as rations.

The main reason is that she planted the most seeds on the mountain at the beginning. This plant is so overbearing and grows so fast that other wild grasses and vegetables cannot compete with it. Although it can grow even bigger next year if it is not dug up, there still needs to be land for it to grow. .

This year, dig out a large part first, leave a small part, and add some seeds. In this way, you can get a rich harvest every year by digging crosswise.

Feng Da's arm was injured and he was not allowed to work, but he couldn't sit still and followed him up the mountain, using his uninjured hand to carry hoe, basket and other tools.

Other men are responsible for digging.

Baskets of kudzu were transported down.

The men used straw or thatch to wash the straw. After cleaning it, they put it into a stone mortar and started to crush it with a pestle to extract the pulp.

Speaking of this stone mortar and pestle, the men admired the owner even more!

When they were in Zhuangzi, there was only one stone mill in the entire Zhuangzi, and they had to queue up every time. Not only was they tired, but it also wasted time.

The same is true for stone mortars.

But the Dong family is different. The village has one, and the Dong family owns it. They don’t have to queue up with the villagers to use it. When they come, they will be given one!

There are only four families in total, and there are only twenty-three people in total, but the boss directly allocated one to them!

There is no need for them to do the grinding by themselves. When the farming is slack, the donkeys can do the work for them. It can be done all at once, which saves time during the busy farming season.

The stone mortar and pestle are different from Zhuangzi's pounding by hand. Not only does it take a lot of effort, but the speed can't be increased. Here, it's just pedaling!

The stone mortar is placed on the ground. The pestle is a wide stone with a piece of wood connected to the other side. The middle of the wood is raised. People step on the cross piece with their feet on the other side. The wide stone connected there rises high and falls heavily. In an instant It can crack the kudzu root and then smash it into dregs.

Effortless!

The effect is surprisingly good!

It's really different that the boss is a smart person, and the servants like them are also much more relaxed.

The broken kudzu root needs to be rinsed repeatedly with clean water, and then filtered with gauze into a basin or bucket. After a day or two, the sewage above is poured out, and the white slurry at the bottom of the pot is dried in the sun to become kudzu root powder.

After the first successful preparation, Shuiqing brewed a large pot of boiling water, sprinkled it with sugar, and gave everyone a bowl so that everyone could have a try.

After stirring the water and letting it cool down, take a spoonful and put it into your mouth. There is a refreshing fragrance and rich kudzu flavor in your mouth. It is really not adulterated at all.

She looked at everyone with satisfaction and asked with a smile: "After you see it clearly, remember it. You can follow this step in the future and keep the crystal clear that comes out!

If it fails, it’s okay, just put it in the pot and cook it again. If it becomes transparent, it’s a success;

Ni Ni and Ni Ni, keep it away. It can also be used to thicken soup when making soup. I will bring you a bag of sugar back later. You can also brew a bowl for breakfast in the morning when the farming is busy;

Feng Damancang, do you like the taste? How about taking it as dry food on the road in the future? "

Da Ni, Ni Ni, Zhou Yu and the other five people used to think that kudzu root powder was the same as the fern root powder they made at Zhuangzi, and it was a filling food, but Madam asked them to bring sugar to go with it?

It’s just a breakfast, can it be prepared with Jingui white sugar?

No, no, Madam must be using this reason to replenish their health!

Wow, Madam is so nice!

On the other side, Feng Dahong Mancang and other men were holding stoneware bowls and were reluctant to eat.

They saw with their own eyes how much white sugar Madam put in. White sugar is much more expensive than brown sugar. Was it just to give them a taste?

"Madam, we are all grown-ups, it would be a waste to give us sugar."

"Mancang is right, we can eat it without sugar."

They are all men and do not need to replenish their bodies. Just leave the sugar to the women to replenish their bodies.

Shui Qing smiled and said: "It's okay, just eat it. I have a lot of sugar. If I don't eat it, it will be wasted when the summer heats up."

After hearing Shui Qing's words about waste, the men were finally willing to pick up their stoneware bowls and take a sip.

After one bite, it tastes sweet and refreshing. No wonder it sells for eighteen cents per catty.

"It's really a medicinal material. It's what Uncle Ding said. Yes, it produces fluid and quenches thirst! It's delicious."

"It's so sweet, just like sugar."

"Nonsense, how can it not be sweet if you put so much sugar in it? Think about the fern root powder we made in the past. Without sugar, it would taste similar to that."

This is all thanks to the lady’s willingness to add sugar!
