Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

When Su Ziling came out with the tray, he saw Lu Yan carrying the bamboo table out, "Where do you put it?"

"Put it in the middle of the yard and let it get some sun." Su Ziling raised his chin, motioning him to put it in the middle of the yard where there was sun.

She put the tray on the table and looked at Wang Anan who was still washing clothes. "Sister-in-law, come over and have a bowl of ginger and taro soup to warm yourself up."

"Grandma, Grandpa, Dad, stop busying yourself and come over here to have a taste."

Father Su put down the work in his hands, patted the dust off his hands, and said, "Here I come, here I come."

Mr. Su wanted to finish the work at hand. "You guys eat first, I'll come over after I finish this."

Grandma Su put down her chopsticks and looked in the direction of Grandpa Su. "Just eat first when I tell you to. You can get back to work after you finish eating."

After listening to this, Mr. Su shook his head and laughed, "Okay, let's do it after we finish eating."

Su Ziling brought out bowls of ginger and taro soup, and Su Zizhong went into the house and got a few stools and set them aside.

"Come on, try it and see if you can get used to it. This ginger and taro soup is best eaten while it's hot."

"Grandma, this is for you." Su Ziling brought a bowl to Grandma Su and looked at the others, "Help yourselves. There's more in the kitchen after you finish drinking."

After saying that, he brought a bowl to Lu Yan who was standing beside him, "Here, this bowl is for our Master Lu."

Lu Yan took it and said, "Why are you serving it to me? I can serve it myself."

Su Ziling raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed!"

Grandma Su scooped a spoonful and said, "Why does this look like the fern cake that has just been put into the pan and is not cooked through?"

"The color is almost the same. Grandma, please try it." Su Ziling took a sip and her eyes narrowed in satisfaction. She didn't know if it was an illusion or something else, but she actually felt that this ginger and taro soup was sweeter than the one she had in her previous life.

The taste is tender, smooth and delicate. The translucent paste is sweet and mellow in the mouth, with a long aftertaste and a faint fragrance.

"Grandma, how are you?"

Su Ziling didn't count on anyone else and just wanted to listen to Grandma Su. After all, she had eaten a lot of food. As for Su's father and the others, there was nothing they didn't like as long as it was made by Su Ziling.

"It tastes good!" Grandma Su nodded, then looked into the distance, as if reminiscing.

"It tastes very smooth and has just the right sweetness. It looks very similar to lotus root powder. Unfortunately, I have never eaten it."

After saying this, Grandma Su took two more sips and asked, "Is this considered a new food?"

Su Ziling nodded, "Yes, grandma, what do you think?"

"I think it's okay. Children and girls will probably like it, but it's hard to say for men."

Father Su grinned and chuckled twice, "I like it too."

Mother Su on the side glared at him and said, "Go, go, go, you are everywhere. Just tell me, is there anything that Ah Qing did that you don't like?"

Father Su raised his head and drank the last sip, sighing with satisfaction. Then he thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there really isn't any!"

"Xiaoqing, is there any more? I want another bowl."

"Yes, it's in the kitchen. I'll bring it to you." Su Ziling put down the bowl, took the tray into the kitchen and brought out all the ginger and taro soup.

Seeing her bring out eight more bowls, Grandma Su blinked and asked, "Did you come out to get more noodles?"

"No, just the bowl in front."

“You cooked so much for one bowl?”

"There are two bowls left for Twenty in the kitchen. I don't know when Twenty will be back. If this ginger and taro soup gets cold, we won't be able to eat it."

Su Ziling looked at everyone, "When you're done, take yourselves. After you finish these bowls, you can have today's meal later."

"Is there any more in the kitchen?" Grandma Su was the one who knew best how much ginger and taro powder she had scooped, so she was the most surprised to see so much ginger and taro soup.

"Yes, I cooked eighteen and a half bowls in total, just right for two bowls per person." Su Ziling thought that if Twenty didn't come back, they would have to eat the two and a half bowls left for him, and then cook again when he came back.

"That's a lot! How much do you plan to sell it for?"

Su Ziling pursed her lips and said, "I haven't decided yet. If we keep it in the valley, it will definitely not sell well for the time being. There are only passers-by and everyone is full, so we can only take it to the restaurant."

"But our restaurant only sells noodles, hot pot, meals and the like, and we don't have time to sell them. I'll think about it carefully."

It's not a bad idea to bring it to a restaurant, but most of the people who eat there are men, and ginger and taro soup is a small dessert, which women prefer.

She even thought about opening a small shop specializing in selling desserts?

With papaya water, ice jelly, shachima, steamed cake and the like, plus ginger and taro soup, business will definitely be good.

Lu Yan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "This ginger and taro soup is very similar to the lotus root powder I had before."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he instantly attracted everyone's attention, "Have you ever drunk lotus root powder?"

Lu Yan nodded, "I drank it once by chance, and the taste is indeed similar, but the color is much lighter than this one."

Su Ziling was worrying about how to set the price. When she heard that he had eaten it, she knew that he must know the price. Thinking of this, she looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"Hey, how much is a bowl of lotus root powder you eat? How much is it sold for? Although my ginger and taro soup is a little worse than lotus root powder, it's not much different. I think the price should be about the same, right?"

"Although I call it ginger taro, it also has another name called dry lotus root. In other words, it is actually lotus root powder."

Lu Yan lowered his eyes and looked at Su Ziling, only to see that she was looking at him with sparkling eyes, waiting to hear the price from him.

He took a sip of the ginger and taro soup and thought that the taste was indeed similar. However, how could he tell her that this lotus root powder was tribute powder?

This lotus root powder is not easy to make, so only the nobles can eat it.

Therefore, he was a little afraid to imagine what kind of turmoil would be caused if this ginger and taro powder appeared in Shangjing.

I’m afraid it will soon become popular all over Shangjing?

I'm afraid those wealthy ladies, mistresses and the like would be scrambling to buy it every day.

"Hmm?" Su Ziling tilted her head slightly and looked at him, "You don't know either?"

"It doesn't matter. We can sell it in the county, or we can go to the state capital to see the price..."

Su Ziling paused. The flour yield of ginger taro is about 20 to 24 percent. Due to the unique climate here, it can reach about 25 to 26 percent.

In other words, one hundred kilograms of ginger taro can produce about twenty to twenty-four kilograms of flour.

One pound of flour can make about twenty bowls of ginger and taro soup. Even if one hundred pounds of ginger and taro can produce twenty pounds of flour, that is four hundred bowls. If it is sold at five cents a bowl, one hundred pounds of ginger and taro will be two taels of silver.

Excluding costs and labor, the most important thing is labor and production. It may only take a few days to dig the ginger taro from the ground and make it into ginger taro powder.

However, its production process is too complicated and requires many steps such as shaking off the soil, removing the roots, washing, slicing, pounding, filtering, clarifying, bleaching, hanging and drying.

Not to mention other things, just bleaching the powder requires three to five times, and you must ensure that there are no impurities in the powder before you can make it into lumps. This process is even more complicated than that of sweet potato powder.
