Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

Xie Jiaojiao ran for several blocks before she finally got rid of the people behind her. She panted heavily and cursed Jiang Weinan several times in her heart, oh, and his two followers.

After resting well, he went back to buy salt. This time he looked around again and again, and only after making sure that the group of people were no longer there did he run over to buy salt.

Xie Jiaojiao bought some salt and immediately went to meet up with Sun Ruhua and the others.

As soon as Xie Zhiyi saw Xie Jiaojiao, he immediately handed over the string of candied haws in his hand: "Sister, this is what mom bought for you. I've already eaten all of mine. They're delicious."

Xie Jiaojiao took it with a smile, ate one and gave the rest to Xie Zhiyi: "It's too sour, I can't eat it, you can eat the rest."

Xie Zhiyi frowned: "I think it's very sweet!"

"Then you eat it."

Xie Zhiyi was happy again when he took the candied haws, but he said, "Then I'll help you solve it with reluctance."

This made Xie Jiaojiao and Sun Ruhua laugh.

The three of them were chatting and laughing along the way. It was only then that Sun Ruhua asked Xie Jiaojiao what they were going to do with so much salt.

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Mom, I have thought of a good way to make soy sauce. Once I make it, our family will have endless money in the future."

Sun Ruhua just smiled when she heard this. Soy sauce needs meat, which is very precious, and can be used to make soy sauce. Anyway, she didn't believe that Xie Jiaojiao could make soy sauce.

When Xie Jiaojiao returned home, she found a large vat from the backyard, put all the salt she had bought into it, added well water, and stirred it with a clean stick until all the salt was dissolved in the water. Then she brought all the soybeans she had prepared some time ago, which were coated with flour and had been fermented, and immersed them all in the water until every soybean was evenly immersed in the water, and then she covered it with a lid.

Sun Ruhua watched from the side: "Is this it?"

Xie Jiaojiao shook her head: "How can it be that fast? It still needs to ferment!"

In the following days, Xie Jiaojiao kept the lid open and only closed it when it rained.

The work in the fields was also busy, and Xie Jiaojiao went to work in the fields every day. Fortunately, their village was at the foot of a mountain, and there was plenty of water on the mountain. When Xie Zhen was there, he had dug ditches from the fields to his home fields, otherwise carrying water would be exhausting.

After planting the seedlings in the ground, Xie Jiaojiao felt that she couldn't even straighten her back. She was so tired!

Sun Ruhua was also tired. Xie Zhiyi was still young and could not help much, so it was basically Xie Jiaojiao and Sun Ruhua who were busy working in the fields.

The whole village and the fields are full of people, and everyone is rushing to plant the rice. If they plant this crop, as long as the weather is good, they will be able to have a good New Year at the end of the year!

Everyone was tired, but their faces were filled with smiles.

After planting the seedlings, Xie Jiaojiao rested at home for several days before she recovered. She thought that she must make more money this year. She didn't want to farm the land for even one more day.

After they had rested, Sun Ruhua asked Xie Jiaojiao, "Do you just leave your thing in the yard like that?"

Xie Jiaojiao then thought of going to see if the soybean oil was made successfully.

I quickly found a bamboo colander from the kitchen and tried it.

"Mom, bring me a bowl."

Sun Ruhua quickly took the bowl out and stood beside Xie Jiaojiao, staring into the jar: "Is it done? I smell a very nice aroma."

Xie Jiaojiao scooped out a little with a bamboo spoon: "Mom, try it and see if it tastes like this."

Sun Ruhua quickly took a bite, and Xie Jiaojiao looked at her with hope on her face.

Sun Ruhua smacked her lips, then looked at Xie Jiaojiao blankly: "Well, that mother doesn't even know what soy sauce tastes like!"

Xie Jiaojiao covered her forehead, speechless. She picked up the bowl and tasted it. It tasted similar to the soy sauce of her time, but she didn't know if it was different from that of this era.

Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Jiaojiao hopefully again: "What do you think?"

“It feels like this!”

"Really?"

Of course Xie Jiaojiao wasn't sure either. What if it was different from this era?

"Mom, how about we use it to cook a dish for lunch?"

Sun Ruhua nodded: "But mother has never used this thing to cook."

"Then I'll do it!"

Sun Ruhua immediately smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

She was afraid of wasting this good thing and her daughter would scold her.

Sun Ruhua went to the edge of the field to pick a handful of spring sprouts and dug some wild vegetables.

Xie Jiaojiao immediately heated up the oil in a pan, added a little vegetable oil and some dried chilies, then put in the washed vegetables. When she was about to serve the dish, she poured some soybean oil in, and after a few seconds the room was filled with a fragrant aroma.

"This smell..."

Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Jiaojiao and said with a smile: "It smells really good!"

One dish had soy sauce and the other didn't.

When eating, I feel that it tastes better with soy sauce.

Xie Jiaojiao said: "Tomorrow I will take this thing to Qingfeng Tower and let Shopkeeper Chen try it."

Sun Ruhua nodded: "Mom can't go with you tomorrow. I still have to weed the two acres of land. If the weather is good in the next few days, I will plant corn in the field."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded and said yes.

The next morning, Sun Ruhua got up early and made breakfast for Xie Jiaojiao.

"Mom, you don't have to get up so early next time. If you really can't, I can go to town and buy some buns to fill my stomach."

Sun Ruhua was unwilling: "It will take more than an hour to get to town. If I go on an empty stomach, I will feel uncomfortable."

Xie Jiaojiao felt warm at heart. After dinner, Sun Ruhua helped her put the jars of soy sauce into the backpack and tied it up with a rope.

"Mom, I'm going to ask Qingfenglou to try it today. If it works, we can find a stall in town to sell it. Do you think it's okay?"

"If you can really sell it for a lot of silver, mother will take care of it!"

Xie Jiaojiao smiled when she heard her words. She was about to go out with the basket on her back. Sun Ruhua stuffed a few copper coins into her pocket and said, "If you get hungry in town, buy some buns. The most important thing is to feel comfortable."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Then I'll go out."

"Be careful on your way and come back early."

Uncle Li didn't drive the ox cart during this period. He said that someone from the next village had rented it for some purpose. Therefore, whenever he went to town, he walked.

Xie Jiaojiao took a break on the way and arrived at the restaurant at daybreak.

The waiter was a little surprised when he saw that it was her: "Miss, today is not the time we agreed to deliver the fermented tofu."

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Today, I made some things again, and I want Manager Chen to give me a thumbs-up."

When the waiter heard this, he went there immediately. Last year, the shopkeeper had rewarded him with twenty copper coins for the fermented bean curd.
