National teacher, your man ran away

In fact, the reason why Yao Yixin bought the few thousand catties of sweet potatoes grown by the old man was that apart from his sympathy, the sweet potatoes grown by the old man were really good in appearance and might not be suitable for making small and exquisite honey sweet potatoes, but they were used to make other things. Sweet potato food is good, such as sweet potato vermicelli, vermicelli, dried sweet potato, sweet potato slices, etc. The size is also suitable. Unlike big sweet potatoes, which take a long time to cut, this small one can be cut in half with one knife .

Speaking of which, Yao Yixin still feels very kind to this little sweet potato.

In the past, their family also grew sweet potatoes. The big ones with good quality were sold to baked sweet potatoes. The second-class ones with broken skins were taken to the workshop to be processed into sweet potato vermicelli. The smaller sweet potatoes were cleaned and sliced, and could be dried in the sun. Dried sweet potatoes can also be dried and ground into powder to make sweet potato flour, so there is no waste at all.

Because Master Guoshi is going to leave tonight, there is no time to make sweet potato flour and the like. However, Yao Yixin specially made a shredded sweet potato at night, sliced ​​the small sweet potato, and made a lot of crispy fried sweet potato chips. , as a salty party, the national teacher is very fond of crispy fried sweet potato chips, and he only tasted the candied sweet potato, but Su Lichun, who is a sweet party, loves the candied sweet potato so deeply that he almost ate up a whole whole plate.

"I didn't expect this sweet potato to be cooked and eaten like this..." After the meal, he took a piece of crispy sweet potato slices, and the Master of the State Teacher pondered.

"Yes, not only can sweet potato chips be fried, but in fact, sweet potatoes can also be made into sweet potato vermicelli, vermicelli, sweet potato flour, sweet potato tofu, dried sweet potato, etc., which can be used for cooking, shabu-shabu, or as a snack."

"When I was in the north, I also heard that the yield of sweet potatoes is higher than that of yellow rice and barley. Unfortunately, eating too much can cause abdominal distension and pain. Unless there is a famine, ordinary people don't dare to eat more, and they don't grow much. But , I just heard you say that this sweet potato tastes better after cooking?"

"Of course! It's a pity that we don't grow sweet potatoes on a large scale here. Otherwise, we can set up a sweet potato processing workshop. Sweet potatoes can be processed into vermicelli for long-distance transportation and sold to various places. If they are well preserved, they will not be lost in a year or two." Bad."

"Really?" Su Nianbai's eyes lit up. He has been thinking about this issue recently. Although the disaster victims who traveled from the north to the south have been resettled temporarily, these people will return to their hometown sooner or later after the drought eases.

However, the north is always dry, and the yields of any crops are not high. The counties and counties in the north don't collect taxes every year, and it would be good if they don't need the government to allocate funds for disaster relief.

However, if the large piece of land in the north is abandoned because of this, it will be another huge hidden danger for the imperial court. Although the northern counties are barren, they are of great strategic significance as a barrier for the grassland to the south, so it cannot be easily done Give up, let alone allow northern residents to settle down south at will because of poverty, otherwise, without this natural barrier, the northern border will be in danger in the future!

Thinking of this, Master Guoshi glanced at Yao Yixin who was still thinking about the recipe with a complicated expression. This little hedgehog, who only has food in his eyes, will probably never know what his unintentional words will bring to the entire court. Surprise huh?

Sweet potato processing workshop?

If the ingredients processed from sweet potatoes can be transported to the south for sale over a long distance, maybe this is a godsend to stabilize the situation in the north and benefit the people in the north.

Thinking of this, Su Nianbai smiled lightly, thinking, maybe, after this year's autumn harvest, he will come to Yaojia Village again. At that time, it will be the sweet potato harvest season in the north, and the price will be low. Maybe this money-hungry little hedgehog will Taking the opportunity to buy a large number of cheap sweet potatoes, is it really possible to open a sweet potato processing workshop?

Anyway, with Bai Shisan's eyeliner, even if Yao Yixin didn't find this business opportunity, Su Nianbai would ask Bai Shisan to "kindly remind me"...

Early the next morning, the National Teacher and his party were about to leave. The carriage behind was filled with the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts prepared by Yao Yixin for the two elders of the Su family and the National Teacher, two catties of small jars of minced meat bibimbap sauce and snails There are more than 100 cans of meat bibimbap sauce, which are good for eating by yourself or giving away to others. There are several bundles of refractory leaves for making zongzi, which have been rinsed and dried.

In addition, there is a large bag of crispy fried sweet potato chips, dozens of wrapped braised meat dumplings and candied red bean dumplings, as well as dried gourds, dried courgettes, dried beans and other dried vegetables from the Yao family, and the rice wine that has not been fully fermented At fifty altars, Yao Yixin also took two bottles of the old man's secret health-preserving pills from Grandpa Zhu, and gave them to the two old people together.

"Say hello to the old man for me."

"Sure, you should also take care of yourself. If there is anything you can't do by yourself, you can ask Thirteen to go to Qingjiang County Magistrate."

"Then I won't be polite. Next time I come, I will treat you to hot pot. There must be fans and vermicelli." Yao Yixin returned with a smile. Master Guoshi is really suitable to be friends!

Su Lichun looked at the interaction between his master and Yao Yixin, as if he had swallowed a catty of dog food, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at Bai Shisan, who was "said to be a childhood sweetheart".

Bai Shisan wasn't looking at him at all!He was taking someone to deliver the dried tofu that his young master temporarily wanted to add to the gift list to the carriage, and he had no intention of accepting Mr. Su's "eye contact"...

Su Lichun originally wanted to tease him, but it didn't work out. Instead, he was so angry that he was half dead. Suddenly, his heart was blocked, and he looked at the husband and wife of the country who were talking about saying goodbye to each other, and couldn't help feeling jealous—

"My lord, we have to go to the inn to rest tonight..." It's time to go!Keep the dog food for yourself!Master Su added viciously in his heart.

"Yes, yes, yes! Hurry up and let's go! Let's talk next time!" Yao Yixin has experienced the pain of missing the dorm. Don't think that camping in the wild is wonderful. In the time and space where wild beasts, snakes and insects are infested and there are no street lights, as long as there is no brain. Yes, no one wants to experience the feeling of camping.

Su Nianbai glanced at Su Lichun, did not speak, and bid farewell to Yao Yixin, "Brother Ruoqing, we will meet later!"

Yao Yixin cupped his hands at him mechanically, and it wasn't until the carriage went a long way that he remembered what the hell the "Ruoqing Xiandi" in the population of the National Normal University was.

Sure enough, for a vulgar person like him, there is no need to use any "characters", let alone "characters". Up to now, he can't even write the three traditional characters "Yao Yixin" well.

After sending off the national teacher and his party, Yao Yixin took Bai Shisan and the "temporary store manager" Huang Yun to work overtime and started busy with the opening of the store.

Don’t look at such a small shop that sells fast food boxes and stir-fried vegetables. If you really want to sort it out, there are a lot of things, ranging from the purchase of ingredients and spices, to the selection of pots and pans, and even whether the chopsticks are made of bamboo or wood. It's up to him to decide.

Tired to death, Yao Yixin felt that he was really not a material for doing business, and he was simply impatient to take care of these tedious things, so he simply let Huang Yun handle all the things in the store, he made the decisions for small things, and reported to Bai Shisan for big things. I really can't decide to look for him again.

Yao Yixin, who had become a shopkeeper, wandered back to Yaojia Village with a cart full of newly harvested sweet potatoes without feeling guilty, preparing to make some sweet potato flour for cooking or soup.

Sweet potato flour is a necessary ingredient for opening a shop. It can be used to make sweet potato meat soup, used as water starch as a topping, and can also be used to make pounded meat and steamed meat... Yao Yixin couldn't help but feel grateful to the manager of the dim sum shop who doesn't know the goods, if it wasn't for He drove the old man out, where did he go to collect so many sweet potatoes?

The steps of making sweet potato flour are actually simpler than making sweet potato vermicelli. First, wash and cut the sweet potatoes into pieces, then chop them into pieces, grind them into a slurry on a stone mill, and wash them repeatedly. Finally, put the milky white slurry in a large tank and wait until the sweet potatoes After the powder has settled at the bottom, take out the sweet potato powder that has condensed into a dough, drain the water, put it in the sun, and crush it after drying, it is sweet potato powder.

If you want to make vermicelli, you need to add water to the prepared sweet potato flour, knead it into a dough like kneading dough, and then use a colander to make vermicelli.

Yao Yixin only needs sweet potato flour, so the following steps can be omitted.

It took two days to make all the hundreds of catties of sweet potatoes brought back into sweet potato flour. Huang Yun, who was in charge of supervising the work in the shop, came back and said that everything in the shop was ready and could open for business at any time.

It's time to pick an auspicious day. Although it's not a big deal, Huang Yun has no way to make a decision about the luck of the shop. It's still up to Yao Yixin, the master.

"I'll ask Grandpa Zhu to do the math to see if there are any good days in the near future." Yao Yixin took out a stack of spiced peanuts from the cupboard as bait, and was going to catch the big fish like Grandpa Zhu.

You know, in this time and space, witch doctors are generally not separated. Many famous doctors and genius doctors usually also perform the functions of witch doctors and witches. For a genius doctor like Grandpa Zhu, asking him to help count auspicious days is not easy. ?

Sure enough, when he heard that Yao's restaurant on the wharf was about to open, Grandpa Zhu put away the spiced peanuts with a smile, took out a thin booklet from the study, flipped through it casually, pointed to one of them and said : "Five days later, everything will be fine, good luck!"

That's it!

Just five days later, there are still about ten days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the time will not be too rushed. He just has time to organize a food test and see how the new chefs in the shop are doing. Everything else is easy to say, especially It's lo-mei, and it will be their signature dish in the future. It must be a hit!

"Thirteen, let people catch thirty chickens and ducks from Zhuangzi tomorrow, and buy some vegetables and send them to the shop. Let's try the vegetables! By the way," Yao Yixin suddenly smiled maliciously, "Order someone to do it." Some slips of lottery, after dinner in the evening, let everyone come and try their luck, and those who are drawn can go to the shop with us to try dishes, and eat until we are full!"

Life, how can it be interesting without doing something?

Boss Yao rubbed his chin gloatingly.

The author has something to say: drooling~ Last night I couldn’t resist placing an order online and bought sandy red sweet potatoes. I read the reviews and said they were super sweet. I have no choice but to shop online to satisfy my hunger (﹃)

By the way, sweet potatoes are very expensive now, free shipping is about four yuan a catty, and our hometown sweet potatoes were only [-] cents a catty when they were on the market┑(￣Д￣)┍

Then my grandma also chopped up the smaller sweet potatoes and cooked them to feed the pigs. Can I say that I drool every time I smell grandma cooking pig food?The house is full of sweet fragrance (﹃)
