Fang Zhai more than ten acres [system]

Crispy rice powder, just listening to the name, it is easy to think of rice cracker ground into powder.In fact... it's rice crust, with a little roasted sesame and sugar, ground into powder.

The presentation is not very good, at first glance it looks like grinding bran for pigs.There is only one word to describe it in your mouth: fragrant!

Crusted rice is fragrant, and fried sesame is more fragrant. The combination of the two will add fragrance to the fragrance.

It can be eaten dry, and the taste is very strange, especially for children.However, because it is a powder, it is easy to choke or choke if you eat it in a hurry. Older people like to soak it in water.The yellowish-white powder, when poured into boiling water, the color magically turns gray-black close to sesame paste.

The water-washed crispy rice noodles are also very similar to sesame paste in taste, except that the taste is a little less sticky.

Speaking of it, the method of crispy rice is extremely simple, and the premise must be that there are enough rice crackers.

Cook a large pot of rice, only a little rice cracker - you have to burn the fire well enough to make the rice cracker just right - if you want to make rice cracker powder, the amount is far from enough.

Yu Rong temporarily decided to make crispy rice noodles. Without crispy rice, he had to find another way.

Fried rice can be substituted for crispy rice.

Stir-fry the dry rice on high heat until it is golden and slightly burnt, and it is fried rice when it is out of the pot.

Add stir-fried sesame seeds and sugar, and the ground crispy rice powder tastes not much different from real crispy rice.

After sipping a few liters of rice from the rice jar, Yu Rong quickly washed it with clean water.

In fact, according to the standard practice, before frying the rice, the rice is directly put into the pot without washing.

But white rice in this era is far inferior to modern rice, not to mention the taste, just the sand and dust inside... If you don’t go through the water first, and fry it directly, as a modern person, you will definitely lose weight. With psychological shadow.

The young doctor found two clean big bamboo plaques, sprinkled the drained rice grains evenly on them, and took them out to dry in the sun.

The sun is just right, and the rice is almost dry after drying for half a day.

The rice and sesame seeds are still drying, and it will be impossible to make crispy rice noodles for a while.

Not intending to wait, Yu Rong went back to the kitchen and continued to work.

First of all, the small stone mill has to be cleaned.

Crispy rice flour is something that can be eaten directly after being ground, so we must pay attention to the hygiene problems in the production process.Just washing with cold water, Yu Rong was still worried, so he thought about scalding with boiling water, and then using high temperature to sterilize.

You have to use a large pot.

In fact, fried rice needs to be stir-fried on a high fire, and the fire of a small stove is not enough.

Yu Rong, who thought the big pot and stove were troublesome at first, started the stove with great interest.

This is the first time that the two-foot-two large iron pot has been put into use.

The reason why Yu Rong thinks big pots and stoves are troublesome is mainly because, before using an iron pot for the first time, you must "boil the pot", otherwise, the cooked food will have an unpleasant iron smell.At the same time, iron products will rust, and with proper maintenance, the service life of iron pans is long enough.

Since I bought an iron pot, deodorization and maintenance are procedures that cannot be omitted anyway.

However, the young doctor occasionally has mild procrastination on some trivial matters, thinking to wait, and deal with it someday when he is idle and bored... Anyway, it will be left for a few more days, the iron pot does not rust so quickly of.

Out of the need to make crispy rice noodles, Yu Rong could only resign himself to deodorizing the iron pot first.

The simple method is to wipe the pan with lard directly, which is convenient and effective.

But there was no fresh meat at home, so I had to change it.

Water and cooking oil, one to one, add tea leaves, pour the pot into the fire and boil, use a long spoon to scoop the oil and water, and pour the whole pot repeatedly - the oil and water are for maintenance, to ensure that the iron pot is not easy to rust, and the tea leaves It can remove the fishy smell of pig iron.

Turn off the heat to cool down, find some sawdust or something, put it in oily water, and use a pot brush to scrub it repeatedly.Finally, put the oil and water in the clean pot, wash it again, boil one or two pots of boiling water, and the "boiling" is complete.

After finishing the iron pot and the small stone mill, Yu Rong went to the front yard to check the rice grains hanging on the bamboo plaque. After all, they had been soaked in water, and the rice grains swelled a bit after absorbing the water, and they were not completely dry after half an afternoon in the sun.

No need to rush.

The preparations are already in place, and it doesn't take much effort to make the fried rice and rice crispy noodles.

The young doctor returned to the backyard and began to tidy up the messy kitchen.

Suddenly, I saw a small and medium-sized pottery urn, which was placed in the corner, just blocked by the pot stand, and it was hard to find its existence without paying attention.

A look at the pottery urn shows that it has been used for some years, and it must not have been custom-made in the earth pottery workshop.

Yu Rong thought about it for a while, but couldn't remember where it came from, and didn't struggle alone, so he removed the pot stand and moved the pottery urn out.

Good weight!

Apparently, the urn was full of stuff.

The young doctor became more and more curious, and carefully opened the mouth of the urn——

Smelly!

Yu Rong might as well, his head was dazed by the stench, after a while, he recovered, and felt that the pungent smell made his mouth salivate inexplicably.

Subconsciously sniffing, he felt that the smell was strangely familiar, as if...

Stinky radish!

Yu Rong was pleasantly surprised.

——Stinky radish, I really haven’t tasted it for many years.

Like stinky tofu, any food that is "stinky" basically has a "virtue": it smells stinky and tastes good.

A bowl of stinky radish, add some garlic, steam it while cooking, it is convenient to eat, the key is, it is very delicious.

Pickled stinky radish is also good to eat raw, sour and delicious.

Although, Yu Rong knows that this food is not very healthy, but, as a standard foodie, when it comes to delicious food, he can lower the bottom line according to his discretion, ahem.

People who like to eat stinky radish tend to prefer stinky radish soup.

There are several ways to eat this soup.

The most common way is to steam the stinky radish, soak it in oil soup and rice, which is very appetizing... It's just that this way of eating is a bit "heavy", and not everyone can get used to it.

There is another method that Yu Rong personally likes - soaked tofu and/or green pepper in stinky radish soup.

Remove the seeds from the green peppers, cut the tofu into cubes, put them into the utensils for pickling stinky radishes, immerse them in the soup, marinate them for a few days, then take them out and steam them...

The tofu with stinky radish soup has a wonderful and unique flavor. It is extremely delicious, and it is by no means inferior to stinky tofu or soy milk. Once you eat the first bite, you will want to eat the second or third bite. I also ate several large bowls of rice without knowing it.

The same goes for green peppers soaked in soup. They are crunchy, sour, smelly and fragrant, with complex and delicious flavors.

To Yu Rong, stinky radish is a rare commodity.

When I first experienced rural life, other pickled vegetables, such as salted beans, sour mustard root, dried radish, etc., were often eaten for breakfast and dinner.

But for some reason, stinky radishes are almost extinct on the dining table... Maybe it's because the material conditions are getting better and better?

The elders who are used to the hard life are tired of eating stinky radishes and don’t like to cook them. The younger generation who like to eat stinky radishes basically don’t have the skills, and there are too many delicious ones. The taste of stinky radish soup with rice.

Yu Rong is a member of this younger generation.

I like to eat stinky radishes, but I don’t know how to make them... I haven’t tasted them for many years, so I almost forgot that there is such a delicacy.

The unique and alluring smell keeps pouring into the nostrils.

Recovering from his nostalgia for the stinky radish, the young doctor couldn't help wondering: Where did this big urn of stinky radish come from, and how could it be in his kitchen?

Yu Rong pondered for a while, and suddenly thought of something, carefully lifted the pottery urn, and tried to look down.

As expected, there was a crooked engraving on the bottom of the urn. After careful identification, it was the word "treasure" missing arms and legs.

Instantly realized what was going on.

Yu Rong was almost certain that this urn of rotten radishes was a congratulatory gift that someone secretly stuffed in on the day of the banquet... It was a surprise to him, but it looked shabby as a gift of rotten radishes on this green curtain.

Who sent it probably counts.

There is an "Uncle Bao" in the west of the village, who is one of the few residents with a foreign surname in Qinglian. A urn of rotten carrots is already full of sincerity.

Before going to Da'e Mountain to collect medicine, Uncle Bao asked for two doses of ointment for back injuries. At that time, he was very polite to invite him to dinner, but was declined by the young doctor who knew his family well.

Yu Rong pondered for a moment, got up and found an empty jar, and transferred the rotten radish and soup into it—after all, it was a congratulatory gift from someone else, if he returned it directly, people might be misunderstood and look down upon him...

However, the stinky radish can be kept, but the pottery urn must be returned... It is also a convention.It is normal for people in the village to go door to door and give each other some food. The recipients will return the food utensils to each other when they turn back.

For poor families, an earthenware vessel can be regarded as a valuable item.

Thinking of this, Yu Rong acted quickly, washed the pottery urn, wiped the water with a sackcloth, and put it in a basket.

Just about to leave the house, after thinking about it, I went to the pharmacy again, found some plasters and took them with me.

Uncle Bao really gave the rotten radish.

Yu Rong returned the pottery urn, gave medicine along the way, and once again rejected the other party's invitation to stay for a meal... On the way home, he remembered the jar of stinky radish again, so he turned a corner and went to the inn at the entrance of the village, and asked the proprietress if there was any... There is no tofu for sale.

Qinglian does not make tofu.Early in the morning every day, there will be people from the tofu workshop in the neighboring village, carrying their burdens, yelling and selling dry tofu in the surrounding villages. Usually, when there are weddings or festivals, every household will use the beans they grow themselves to buy tofu. The people in the workshop make tofu.

The young doctor who wanted tofu temporarily was reluctant to go to the neighboring village, so he could only buy it from the inn.

The ingredients are easy to store in winter, and the inn really has tofu, so it’s not difficult to even out six or seven yuan.

Upon returning home, Yu Rong opened the pickle jar and dipped the tofu into it, but it was a pity that green peppers could not be soaked.

In this era, chili has not yet been introduced to Min country.

The system mall has everything you need, the young doctor was thinking, find a suitable opportunity, get some chili seeds, peanuts, pumpkins and so on.

——Be safe and don't be impatient, many things have to be done step by step and slowly.

After sealing the mouth of the altar, Yu Rong looked at the sky outside the house, the sun was setting in the west, and it was almost dusk.

The rice and sesame seeds were completely dried after an afternoon of drying, and they were all received in the kitchen.

Yu Rong went to the vicinity of Shuidang, and had a rough look at the fruits of the Li family brothers' work all afternoon, compared with the piece he dug himself in the morning... Cough, surgery is so expensive that it specializes in it, so this doctor will not steal the farmer's work.

As it was getting late, he stopped the two brothers who were working hard, thanked them, and gave each of them [-] yuan, asking them to "get off work" and go home first, and rest for a night before continuing tomorrow.

Lock the front and rear fence gates, return to the kitchen, and start the great business of making crispy rice noodles.

Curling smoke.

The smell of fried rice filled the room.

While working, the young doctor couldn't hold back while "stealing".

In fact, eating fried rice dry is also quite good. The fried rice itself has no taste, but it is really fragrant.

When the fried rice and sesame seeds are cold and only slightly warm, pour sugar and grind them on a small stone mill.

After eating a large bowl of dry rice noodles with a full stomach, he picked out a few spoonfuls of rice noodles, made a cup of paste, and then the young doctor went to the study in a swaying and contented manner.

... It's been quite a decadent day.

Could it be that with a house, there is a sense of psychological security, and on the premise of a worry-free existence, life is naturally comfortable.

Feeling confused, Yu Rong, with ink on his hands, was about to start his daily compulsory homework, when another mechanical notification sounded.

The heart tightened subconsciously.

The first reaction was what kind of special mission—no way, the previous hidden mission left a deep impression, although the final result was not bad, but if I do it again, I'm afraid I can't help but worry again.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind quickly, and the system was turned on in the next moment.

[Congratulations to the host 8674972 for obtaining a personal territory*1. 】

[Territory level: Level 1 (Friendly reminder: The territory level can be increased by expanding the land area, increasing buildings, planting cash crops, etc.)]

[For the first time to obtain a personal territory, a free "Winter Sowing Gift Pack: Commonly Used Bulk Medicinal Materials ([-])", please accept it. 】

Yu Rong couldn't help but fell silent.

Really, the familiar formula, the familiar taste.

But... It's been several days since we moved to a new house, why did the system not react until now?

Yu Rong's eyes couldn't help turning to the big gift package—he didn't force it to increase the level of the territory or something, and it wouldn't affect the main profession, just let it happen—he focused on the word "Dongbo".

then……

Could it be that he is too careless about his job, only thinking about planting vegetables in a few acres of open space, but he did not expect to plant medicinal materials, so the system came with such a "reminder/wake up"?

Secretly complaining, the young doctor was still very happy and accepted the big gift package from the system.

Don’t waste free things, even if it’s just the most common and common medicinal materials, at least, the seeds rewarded by the system are of high-quality or above, so don’t worry about the yield after planting, not to mention the quality, at least it will never be inferior to those sold in pharmacies.

Bupleurum, Platycodon grandiflora, Atractylodes macrocephala, ten catties each of fine varieties.

Yu Rong was a little surprised. Although these three kinds of medicinal materials are commonly used, they are really practical and easy to use. Platycodon grandiflorum can relieve the lungs and relieve the throat, Atractylodes macrocephala can strengthen the spleen and stomach, and Bupleurum soothes the liver and gallbladder. Depending on the situation, these three herbs are often indispensable in the prescriptions that can be used. Naturally, there is a great demand. If you grow enough at home, you can save a few trips to the pharmacy.

Not to mention Platycodon grandiflorum and Atractylodes macrocephala, Bupleurum bupleurum has always been demanded more and less supplied, not to mention expensive, and sometimes it is not easy to buy.

Now, not only have three types of fine varieties been obtained, but the quantity is quite large. If it is estimated that ten catties, each kind of medicinal material is enough to plant two acres of land.

Yu Rong's heart was full of gratitude.All along, the system has given him a lot of help... There is nothing to repay him, but he can only take his career and his life more seriously.

Closer to home.

Now that we have obtained these seeds, we shouldn't waste the kindness of the system, and those who are suitable for planting should go to the ground as soon as possible.

Thinking of the rewards he got from the hidden mission last time, and the medicinal planting guide that he hadn't had time to read carefully, Yu Rong quickly "turned over" the books in the storage compartment, and followed the catalog to find the cultivation methods of the three medicinal materials...

I see.Regardless of Bupleurum, Platycodon grandiflora or Atractylodes macrocephala, it can be sown in spring or winter. However, due to habit problems, planting in winter can improve its ability to resist disasters and prevent diseases. The seeds bred in winter will emerge early and grow quickly in the next spring. The plants are neat and strong, and the quality of medicinal materials can also be improved.

The climatic conditions in Xin'an Prefecture are just right for the growth of these medicinal materials, especially Atractylodes macrocephala and Platycodon grandiflorum, which can be directly planted on the large open field in the backyard.

Bupleurum has different requirements on soil quality, so it can be planted on the slopes of Xiaoershan.

Yu Rong carefully read the planting methods, especially some precautions, and kept them all in mind.

So I thought, I will find some manpower to help tomorrow, unlike the vegetables that were only half an acre of land, this time at least two acres of land suitable for planting Atractylodes macrocephala and bellflower have to be reclaimed, and the Li brothers alone will not be able to do it. .

In addition, Bupleurum had to be planted in a different way. With his half-baked level of cultivation, he couldn't cope with going to Xiao'er Mountain, which is more than ten miles away, to wrap a sloping field.

But the seeds are in hand, and I don’t sow them now. After a while, the weather will be cold, and there will be more and more rain and snow. If I rush to sow seeds, it may be too late.

Specifically how to do it... Yu Rong closed his eyes, pondered for a while, and gradually formed an idea in his mind.

The young doctor, who didn't enjoy a day or two of leisure, started to be busy again.

It is not a problem to ask people to dig the soil and sow seeds in the backyard. Early in the morning, when you walk around the Zhuangzi, there are seven or eight people rushing to do it. Adhering to the attitude of making quick decisions, Yu Rong invited all these people home in one go up.

Then he brought a small gift and went to visit the head of the household.The head of the household who is in charge of supervising and urging taxes has a better understanding of the conditions of the farmers in the surrounding villages than the head of the old village.

After a long exchange with the head of the household, Yu Rong referred to the proposal of the other party, and rushed to Heping Village beside Xiaoer Mountain early the next morning to find a man named "He Manzi".

He Manzi, in modern parlance, is a "specialist in medicinal planting", who is very proficient in medicinal planting, especially on slopes.

The young doctor, who has always been straightforward in business matters, basically confirmed that He Manzi was a believer, and then went straight to the topic to talk about the cooperative planting of Bupleurum bupleurum.

The so-called cooperation is actually Yu Rong providing seeds and giving "technical support" - it is not possible in practice, but in terms of theoretical knowledge, there is absolutely nothing to say with the information provided by the system.He Manzi provided the sloping land and was responsible for the whole process of field management including sowing, planting and harvesting.

It was only a matter of one sentence, and it took the two of them a full day of work from "bargaining" at the beginning to communicating and exchanging specific planting issues before they reached a complete agreement.

Yu Rong, who signed another contract, rushed home in a hurry: the odd workers who work in the backyard "get off work" before dark, and have to go back quickly to settle their wages for the day.

"...Eh, I'm exhausted."

Yu Rong sat paralyzed on the seat, not wanting to move for a long time.

Living blindly every day, why can't I feel like I can't finish things?

maybe...

"Are you hiring two long-term workers?"

Yu Rong was talking to himself, then shook his head to deny himself.

Still not used to having strangers at home.In addition to farming, there is actually nothing to help.The work in the field, anyway, there are brothers from the Li family, who can be regarded as long-term workers who have signed a "contract". unnecessary.

"The stall seems to be too big..."

Yu Rong suddenly recalled it, and suddenly felt a little embarrassing. After getting the seeds of the system, he was ready to plant them as soon as his brain got hot.Thinking about it now, he alone...are he sure he can use the several acres of medicinal materials?Even if it can be used, just processing and concocting medicinal materials is endless work.

Then I thought, the seeds in the storage compartment are accumulating more and more, obviously there are several acres of land, it would be too wasteful not to plant them.

Is it possible that in the future, not only will you be in the business of selling medicines, but you can also work as a wholesaler of medicines part-time?

... Seems pretty good too?He can earn a little money just by relying on the consultation fees and medical expenses of his medical practice. With his habit of spending money lavishly, an extra income means an extra layer of security!

"Perhaps we can find some apprentices?"

Thinking of the proposal of Mr. Kuang's family, Yu Rong couldn't help thinking... On the one hand, he felt that recruiting a few apprentices would at least help him deal with medicinal materials, so that he could escape from chores, but on the other hand, he hesitated, thinking that he was not qualified , it would be bad if you misunderstood someone.

Not liking to dwell on one thing all the time, the young doctor decided to give up thinking for the time being.

You have to eat one bite at a time, it's useless to think too much.

After stretching his body, Yu Rong couldn't help but yawned, and was about to get up...

"General Chi Yan!"

Looking at the big fat cat that toppled the incense burner and occupied the center of the long desk, the young doctor really lost his temper, and stretched out his arms to hug it speechlessly——

Good weight!The weight almost broke my arm... I feel that the weight loss plan these days has not worked?

"I like staying in high places so much," Yu Rong stroked the cat's fur, thinking, "How about I make you a cat climbing frame?"

Suddenly, a piercing and hasty warning sound sounded in my ear—like the siren of a police car.

Yu Rong couldn't help but startled.

【alert!alert! 】

[There is a red name approaching! 】

For a moment, I didn't remember what "red name" meant.

Fortunately, my brain reacted immediately.

The hand of the young doctor stroking the cat tightened unconsciously, and his heart suddenly rose.
