National teacher, your man ran away

Now, the villagers of Yaojia Village regard their Young Master Yao as a living God of Wealth. Shrimp, you can also drink broth with the nobleman and live a good life for a few days.

Didn't you see those who went to Yao's house to work a few days ago, when they came back, they carried a jar of spicy oil in their left hand and two catties of fat in their right hand?That's the big fat meat that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year. The fat is as wide as four fingers!The boiled lard is estimated to be enough for the whole family to eat for several months.

Now I heard that the young master of the Yao family told everyone that soybeans can be grown on the ridges of the rice fields, and the half-sized soybeans can be picked and sold to the Yao family. Even the urchins at home will not go to the river. After playing, they all went to the field to plant soybeans with the adults.

Soybeans are very easy to grow. Dig a hole on the ridge of the field, fill it with soft fertile soil, sprinkle some manure, and put a few old soybeans on it, and wait for them to germinate and grow on their own. Just hurry up Pull the grass a few more times, don't let the weeds waste the soybean seedlings, just wait for the soybeans to be harvested.

Soybeans were planted, as if a new hope for autumn had been planted. The tenant farmers picked up a basket of large snails from the rice field. The whole family got together, and if they put together about ten catties, they could exchange a jar of snails from Yao’s house. It's oily and spicy.

If you want to say that the spicy oil is also evil, it is obviously chili powder and soybean oil, but the chef of the Yao family has the ability to make delicious ones. When eating steamed buns with mixed grains, you only need to use chopsticks to pick a little bit on the steamed buns. The bland steamed buns also became delicious, and I could eat three at a time!

"Master, what are you doing with so many snails?" Looking at the large snails all over the ground, He Dong, who was in charge of the gate, frowned.

In the past few days, he has figured out why Manager Bai taught him and He Xi to learn arithmetic. The feeling is to let them watch the door and help collect the snails at the same time!

Recently, the villagers around Yaojia Village are used to touch some snails and bring them up when they go to the field. There are many of these things in the field. Just touch a few, wash them, and bring them to Yao’s house. Simply replace it with a copper plate, it is simply a bargain!

The young master of their family probably wants to help these folks, but he even charges two cents for a pound of snails, so it's like giving them money to spend?

However, although the young master's method made him and He Xi a lot of work, to be honest, they were really happy in their hearts. Seeing those tenant farmers who couldn't even afford rice noodles, because they touched dozens of catties of snails, The villagers who made money to buy a bag of miscellaneous grains for their family looked elated, full of gratitude to their young master, and their faces as servants also had a radiance, as if they had also helped.

You know, when they were in the country in previous years, in this season when there was no harvest, not to mention miscellaneous grains, some people even saved wild vegetables at home, and first fed the homeworkers. He once ate more than one in a row together. Moon's wild strawberries, until now I feel like throwing up when I see wild strawberries.

"Ah Dong, you don't know now. Don't look at this thing as a grass in our place. If it is prepared and sold to big towns, it will be worth a lot of money!"

Yao Yixin nodded He Dong's head, and urged: "Hurry up, let everyone who is idle go to the kitchen to help the woodcutter boil water, let's put these snails in the pot and boil them first, and when the hole is opened, put them in cold water , Pick out the snail meat, wash it and salt it.”

He had been thinking about whether to add a new flavor to their oily and spicy peppers. He originally wanted to use meat, but unfortunately the cost of pork was too high, and other meats would only be more expensive than pork. After much deliberation, it just looked good Seeing the snails, he had an idea, and suddenly remembered a dish made by his grandmother in his previous life.

In fact, it is said to be a dish, it is more like an improved version of the sauce.

At that time, their family was still very poor. When he was in junior high school, he had to live on campus. The other students bought food in the school cafeteria with money from their families. Only their family, with a small pocket, had to support him and his sister. After paying the tuition fees, there is no way to squeeze out extra money to buy food for them. There is no choice but to bring food home every weekend.

It takes a week to bring a dish at a time, without preservatives and vacuum packaging, ordinary dishes are not good at all.Fortunately, grandma is a very wise housewife. Every time he and his sister go home on weekends, grandma will let them go to the pond in front of and behind the house to touch some snails, then pick out the snail meat after cooking, and pickle it. After it is half-dried, fry it with rapeseed oil, add minced ginger, minced garlic, etc., and then make a large bowl of fresh oily spicy peppers, put the fried snail meat in it and stir evenly. It tastes spicy and fragrant, and it goes well with rice. A big bottle is enough for them to eat for a week without spoiling.

Yao Yixin still remembers that a wealthy classmate in the same dormitory in junior high school used to wait anxiously every week for him to bring the snail meat fried sauce and chili oil made by his grandmother to school, and three spoonfuls of chili oil were exchanged for a bag of instant noodles. Great deal.

really!After making the snail meat with fried sauce and spicy oil that I had remembered for three years in my previous life, the whole family became very interested in this unremarkable snail, and even a few foodies suggested: It is completely possible not to pick a big one. Large snails, smaller snails are also fine, it is recommended to expand the scope of purchases!

"Idiot! You want the snails in our Yaojia Village to become extinct?" Yao Yixin put down his chopsticks amusedly. The snail meat with fried sauce and spicy oil was very appetizing, and he was full by accident. "We don't make too much of this stuff, we make fifty cans every month, two taels of silver a can, buy it or not."

"Two taels of silver for a pot? Young master, this, I'm afraid no one will buy it, right?" Song Ming was stunned to hear that. Two taels of silver is worth half a year's spending for ordinary people, right?

"If no one buys it, let's keep it for ourselves." Yao Yixin smiled without explaining.This kind of food is actually only for local rich people. Most people can’t afford it, and local rich people don’t care. Just like in the previous life, someone raised medicinal black pigs, and a catty of pork sold for 168 yuan. Isn’t there a local rich man in the city rushing to order it?

really!Ten days later, the big man who came to Yaojia Village to harvest again, after tasting the upgraded version of the oily spicy food at Yaojia - snail meat fried sauce with spicy oil, he happily placed an order and gave them all of their month's production in one go. Pack it down.

"So much...can you eat it all by yourself?" You must get angry after eating it, right?Yao Yixin secretly greeted this chrysanthemum, but it was a pity that Grandpa Zhu's Ma Yinglong hadn't been developed yet, otherwise he could have given him two, as a reward for his support of Yaojia Village's special products.

"It doesn't matter! There are many rich brothers in our military camp!" That big man, oh, this time Yao Yixin finally knew that he was called Zhou Wu. Zhou Wu waved his hand and said without hesitation.

Fifty cans of snail meat fried sauce and chili oil cost 100 taels of silver, because this time I came to pick up the goods, Zhou Wu didn't bring any money, and the two parties agreed to pay when they came to pick up the goods next time, Yao Yixin happily gave him the things first They moved into the carriage and this time, Zhou Wu gave them another order of [-] cans of hot pepper.

After seeing off the wealthy client, Yao Yixin smiled and listened to Bai Shisan's settlement——

"Fifty cans of fried sauce with snail meat and chili oil, excluding the cost, 82 catties of soybean oil, [-] catties of snails, plus the handwork money you have to pay to a few little guys, young master, the net profit should be about [-] taels."

"One thousand cans of chili peppers, after excluding the cost, 160 catties of soybean oil, 280 catties of dried peppers, 230 catties of Chinese prickly ash, and [-] catties of star anise, and after deducting the labor costs, the net profit should be about [-] taels."

"Not bad! This business can make more money than we sell clean vegetables at the pier." Yao Yixin rubbed her chin, thinking in her heart that she might as well plant all the fields at home with chili peppers, and then follow her ex-husband's path and provide it exclusively for the big family. All the armies of the Yuan Dynasty!

"Okay, forget it, let's go, there is fresh mutton tonight, let's cook it in a pot!" Yao Yixin waved his hand, left the account book and stood up.

This time when Zhou Wu came to pick up the goods, he also sent a courier for Master Guoshi on the way. It is said that they were prairie wild sheep hunted by Master Guoshi himself. There were five sheep in total, and they were all sent over. The carriage ran fast, and no one dared to stop it all the way, so it didn't change.

Instructed Uncle Mu Chai to peel and marinate all the remaining sheep, and made them into air-dried mutton. He gave two lamb legs to Grandma Huang and two to Lady Hua. For meat, make a mutton shabu-shabu, and save some mutton, and plan to eat braised mutton, grilled lamb chops, and mutton soup in the evening.

Except for Bai Shisan, no one else in the mansion has ever eaten shabu-shabu. When Bai Shisan was on a mission, he saw some female family members eating this kind of shabu-shabu in an official family. It is said that they came from the north. It was passed down from the big city, and mutton is a rare ingredient in this time and space, so ordinary people can't eat it.

It's not that there are no sheep in the farmers' households, but, as the poem says, those who are covered in silk clothes are not silkworm farmers, and the sheep raised by the farmers are all sold for money, so how can they be willing? Kill and eat by yourself?Some shepherds raise sheep all their lives, and only when the sheep die unexpectedly and cannot be sold can they kill themselves to eat.

Uncle Muchai is very good at knives. He cut the mutton into thin slices, and it only needs a few rinsing in the pot before it is cooked. Dip it in the homemade spicy oil, it is really refreshing!When you get tired of eating, you can cook vegetables in a pot full of mutton soup. This is the first time everyone has eaten such a high-end ingredient as mutton. At first, they were a little restrained, but later, they began to take the initiative to go to the kitchen to help cut the meat ...

The author has something to say: The snail meat fried sauce and spicy oil in this chapter is not invented by the author. The author’s grandmother often made it for me and took it to school to eat. It is very delicious. Interested friends can try it. In fact, if the snail meat is dried and then soaked, the effect will be better, and it tastes very strong.
