Carrying the Ba Zong's child to farm

Early the next morning, Zhao Shanshi sent the lotus pods to the truck.

He specifically called Huang Shumei and told her that the batch of lotus pods sold for seven yuan a catty.

Huang Shumei was speechless over there, "Will anyone buy it if it's so expensive?"

"Don't worry, lotus pods are delicious and fun. One is less than a catty, and it costs only six or seven yuan to buy one. I believe there are still many people who are willing to buy one back. Let the children play and gain a lot of knowledge. .”

"Then I'll sell it at this price." Huang Shumei asked again: "Shan Shi, the delivery of watermelons is a bit low these days, are they almost sold out?"

"Yeah, there are only a few dozen left, you let those who want to eat buy it quickly."

Zhao Danshi's family grows a lot of watermelons, and they are not in a hurry to pick them when they are in the fields. They pick more than ten watermelons every day and send them to the county town for sale. They are sold from June to almost September, and there is still a little left.

The watermelons in their family are big, and each one weighs more than ten to twenty catties.At the beginning, the watermelons were not very easy to sell. Later, Zhao Shanshi asked Huang Shumei to cut up the watermelons and sell them loosely.

Anyone who has tasted it knows that his watermelon is delicious. The watermelon is so ripe that it will split in two with a light touch of a knife. If you want to eat the crispy one, eat the crispy one, or if you want to eat the sandy one, the unique sweetness of the watermelon The taste is refreshing.

The watermelons in his field were full of fruit, and he sold them for a summer and earned more than 1 yuan.

Watermelon is relatively easy. Zhao Danshi plans to grow more varieties next year. Anyway, they have a lot of sales channels now, so they are not afraid that they will not be able to sell.

After talking on the phone with Huang Shumei, Zhao Shanshi went to find Zhao Mingming slowly.

Zhao Mingzhi slaughtered cattle today, and Zhao Shanshi ordered [-] catties of beef with him, and he can just go get it now.

The cattle here are all authentic big buffaloes, and each cow weighs a thousand catties. Excluding the cowhide and bones, there are hundreds of catties of meat.

Beef in the countryside is relatively cheap, 20 yuan per catty, but not many people are willing to eat it, most of them just come to cut a catty or two catties.

When Zhao Danshi passed by, there were only a few people in front of his stall.

He saw Zhao Shanshi at a glance, and laughed all the way: "Shanshi is here, I will save all the meat for you, come and have a look."

Zhao Shanshi was not polite either, he went over to examine it carefully, and nodded when he saw that the meat was indeed good.

Seeing his satisfied expression, Zhao Zhiming smiled and said, "Fifty catties of beef, five catties of beef, and five catties of offal for you."

Zhao Danshi bought a lot, so he should be given a discounted price, but everyone in the village is watching, and Zhao Mingzhi can't give him a discount, so he had to give him something as compensation.

"Thank you uncle. How much beef do you have left?"

"I add my wife's here, at least three hundred catties, more." Zhao Zhiming smiled at him, "What's the matter, do you want some more?"

"Well, let's have another fifty catties. We have a lot of family members, and these fifty catties are not enough to eat."

The aunt named Liu Tiaoniang next to him couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard what he said, "If you buy a hundred catties of beef, wouldn't that cost more than 2000 yuan?"

"Almost." Zhao Shanshi explained with a smile: "It's not that my family is willing to eat it, and wants to marinate some beef for sale. Then I will make some beef jerky by the way."

"Then your capital is really big." Liu Tiaoniang admired, "How much money do you have to earn back from the capital of two thousand yuan?"

"That is to say, get some random things to join in the fun. If you want to make money, you really can't make much money."

Zhao Zhiming joked, "In this case, you might as well just buy all my offal. My offal is cheap, only five yuan a catty. Almost no one buys it. It's all here."

"Uncle, you are too good at business, right?"

"Hey, I'm just asking along. Think about it, selling braised beef is selling it, and selling beef offal is also selling it. You're going to set up a stall anyway, so it's not too troublesome to bring a bucket by the way. I'm here for beef offal. It’s a few dozen catties, and if you add some radishes, you won’t lose money if you sell it.”

Zhao Danshi really hadn't bought offal, but there was a recipe on the Watchman, so he was a little tempted.

Zhao Mingzhi immediately said: "Well, if you want everything, I will give you all the bones, heads and other things."

"Okay, but I'm not very good at it, can you come and help me?"

"Sure, no problem. I'll go over and help wash the offal after I sell the beef." Zhao Zhiming agreed, "You can ask someone to come and pick up the meat on the stall, or wait until I sell the other meat and give it to you." Send it over?"

Zhao Danshi pointed to the beef in front of him, "Cut two catties of beef for me first, and I'll go back and cook first. I'll let my apprentice come and get the rest of the beef later."

"Okay." Zhao Mingzhi cut off the meat for him readily, and put it on straw again, "I'll put the rest of the meat in the basket for you first, wait a minute, you can call one more apprentice over."

"Okay, Aunt Willow, I'm going back."

"Hey!" Liu Tiaoniang waved to him with a smile, "I'm going back too."

Zhao Danshi went back with the beef, scallions, ginger and other spices.

He originally agreed with the spoons to come back after breakfast and only include a meal at noon. Now that there are a lot of things in the field, they usually come to work in the field at seven o'clock, and Zhao Shanshi is not stingy with breakfast. , now basically includes two meals for breakfast and lunch.

Spoon and the others didn’t get a salary increase, but they ate well and could bring something home for their family, so they worked very hard.

The country people don't play with flower guns, and Zhao Shanshi saw that they did their best, so he tried to make up for them in other places.

Today's breakfast was very rich. The most delicious thing is the fried beef with pickled peppers. It is fresh, fragrant and tender. The aroma of pickled peppers and tender ginger matches the aroma of beef. Every piece of beef is covered with soup. Eat it, the taste is not to mention how beautiful it is.

Everyone at the table is working hard to eat more food.

After dinner, Zhao Shanshi asked his disciples to bring back the offal. They didn't go out to work this morning, but packed the offal at home.

Liu Erhua and the others not only brought back a bunch of offal, but also bones and heads.

Zhao Mingtai pouted his buttocks and washed the offal with well water, and asked: "Master, if we pack it up today and sell it tomorrow, will it be stale?"

"It's okay, the beef offal needs to be stewed, and it will taste better after a little longer today." Zhao Danshi was very calm, "The beef offal is so difficult to clean up, unless you get up at three o'clock tomorrow to clean it up, or you won't be able to make it in time for tomorrow morning. city."

The head of the ox has more bones and less meat. Generally, when people kill a ox, they put the ox head down and boil it.

Zhao Shanshi and the others moved the pot and stove to the yard, where they lit a fire.

Wash the beef offal first, then blanch it in water, make it clean, and put it aside to dry the water.After the beef offal is ready, cook the beef head, remove the minced meat, and put it aside to dry, and cook it with the beef offal tomorrow.

The fishy smell of beef bones is much heavier than that of pig bones, otherwise Zhao Mingzhi would not have given the beef bones to Zhao Danshi directly.

This kind of beef bone is generally not handled well by others, and no one wants to give it away for free.

Zhao Shanshi was quite happy with Bai Lai's stuff. To boil the beef bones, you need to put them in a pot under cold water to boil all the blood foam, and you need to cook them for a longer time.While instructing his apprentices to cook beef bones, he explained the main points of cooking.

After the blood was roughly boiled out, Zhao Shanshi and Tu Tu fished out the bones of the ox and washed them clean with well water, and ordered Liu Erhua to split the ox with an axe.

"Master, what does beef bone soup taste like?" Zhao Mingtai swallowed, "Does beef bone soup taste better, or pork bone soup?"

"Each has its own taste, we have to see how to cook it." Zhao Danshi watched Liu Erhua split the beef bones and put them neatly in the frame, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, are you tired?"

"It's a little bit." Liu Erhua was out of breath, chopped up all the bones, and then went to fetch water to wash his face.

Zhao Danshi instructed the second and third apprentices to build a fierce fire. He poured clean water into the cauldron, and quietly put a catty of spiritual spring in it, then boiled the water, put pepper, green onion knots, ginger, rice wine, balsamic vinegar, etc. When the water boiled, put the beef bones.

"First simmer on high heat for an hour, then turn to low heat and simmer for five hours."

"Master, if you stew for so long, will the water be boiled dry?"

"No, don't worry."

The pot set up in the yard was the big deep pot that Zhao Danshi bought for stewed pork, and it was easy to hold a hundred catties of soup in it.

Zhao Danshi and his three apprentices didn't go anywhere in the afternoon, they just cleaned up the stewed vegetables and beef offal for sale tomorrow at home, the soup pot was gurgling and rolling in the yard. There is a very nice smell of meat.

Zhao Jinsheng originally wanted to go up the mountain to cut some firewood in the afternoon, but when he walked near Zhao Danshi's house, his stomach, which was still full, suddenly gurgled. .

"Is anyone home?" Zhao Jinsheng walked to the door and called in.

"Yes." Zhao Danshi came over to greet him, and said with a smile, "Uncle Jin Sheng, come in and sit down and chat."

"What good food did your family cook? It's so fragrant."

"There is nothing good, I have stewed some beef bone soup. You can try it." Zhao Danshi smiled and asked Zhao Jinsheng to sit down.

"What's so funny about that?"

"What's so embarrassing, you used to feed our family fish all the time?"

Seeing Zhao Jinsheng, the old man came over to accompany the guest with a bag in his arms, "Jinsheng, you are welcome, try our Yunyun's craftsmanship."

"Hey, then I won't be polite. I just walked past the door, and it was so fragrant that I couldn't move my legs."

Zhao Danshi scooped out a bowl of hot soup from the pot and asked with a smile, "Do you eat chopped green onion?"

"Eat!" Zhao Jinsheng nodded vigorously.

Zhao Shanshi then put a handful of chopped green onion in the soup, and then put the sliced ​​beef slices into the pot, rolled them, and put them into the soup bowl.He ironed a total of two bowls, one for the old man and one for Zhao Jinsheng.

"Mingtai, go get our mushroom meat sauce and make two dipping sauces."

Zhao Mingtai smiled and stood up, "Okay, uncle, what flavor of dipping sauce do you want, spicy or sour, or hot and sour?"

The old man likes spicy food, Zhao Shanshi's three apprentices all know his taste.

"Spicy ones are fine, thank you." Zhao Jinsheng couldn't help but said to Zhao Danshi: "You are really particular here."

"It's not too particular. After all, they are here to learn how to cook, so they eat more."

Zhao Jinsheng pointed to the meat granules drying on the bamboo plaque in the yard, and asked, "What is this?"

"Beef cubes, dry some to make beef jerky. It's hard to come across such good beef, so I can make a special dish for myself."

Zhao Danshi’s jerky is different from other people’s. He washes the beef, then cuts it into pieces and puts it on a bamboo board to expose it to the sun.

The dried beef fried in this way is dry and fragrant, and it is a must when served with wine.

The beef bone soup has been rolling all afternoon, and it is thick and white and attractive.

The two soups on the table, white onion, green meat and brown meat, the steaming hot air mingled with the aroma hit people, the aroma was so fragrant that it could make people stumble.

"Yeah!" DouDou smelled the aroma, stared at the soup bowl with big eyes without blinking, wishing to speak up and ask for something to eat.

Sitting in the old man's arms, he could hardly sit still, and kept trying to grab it.

"I can't do without you, why are you in a hurry?" Zhao Shanshi asked his apprentice, "Do you three drink? If you drink, fill it yourself. By the way, fill me with a bowl of pure soup. Don't pretend too much. I'll feed it to you."

"Hey." Zhao Mingtai and Zhao Fushun rushed out immediately, Liu Erhua was a bit more stable, but couldn't help but quickly went to the kitchen to get a bowl.

"It's so fragrant!" The lid of the pot was opened again, and the fragrant breath wafted out. Zhao Mingtai and the others couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Master, do you want to make a bowl for the master?"

"No need, wait for them to come back and fill it up. This soup needs to be hot to be comfortable."
