After crossing over, it's hard

Besides, Ji Nan and Li Ran from Jijia Village drove Ji Wangcai's family out of Jijia Village. Ji Wangcai's property, mainly fields and houses, belonged to Ji Nan. Under Ji Nan's name, it took two or three days back and forth.They have already built a new house, and they will never live in it, so they locked it up.

After working like this for a few days, the carpenter was asked to make a tool for squeezing sugarcane juice, and the carpenter sent it to Ji Nan's house.Li Ran originally wanted to collect the early radishes in the field before this tool was ready, and deal with it by the way, but it was delayed by Ji Wangcai's affairs for a few days, and the radishes in the field were still confiscated.But after thinking about it, Li Ran decided to collect and dispose of the radishes in the field first. After all, the radishes are much faster to grow. As for the sugarcane, it may take ten days and a half months to finish it.Of course, Ji Nan listened to Li Ran in everything.

It took more than two days for Ji Nan and Li Ran to finally take home all the radishes on the three or four acres of land planted at home.Li Ran collected four or five hundred radishes and put them in the cellar, saving them for eating fresh and making sweet and sour Taihe radishes, and then called Zhang Guihua and Aunt Li to help at home. The three of them worked hard for three or four days. Cutting the radishes by hand was so painful that they were cut up and spread out in the yard to dry.Although it is now November, the sun is not bad. The chopped radishes can be dried in the sun for about three to five days.Li Ran had already prepared brine and other things, and he could directly make braised radish when the radish was returned in the sun.

After the radish is processed, the next step is to make sugar cane.A total of more than 9000 sugarcanes were harvested from the five mu of land, and two to three hundred sugarcanes were given away. Li Ran left another thousand sugarcanes, which were tightly wrapped with dried rice and dug out behind the house. I made a hole in the ground, put the sugar cane wrapped with dried rice in it, and buried it with soil, making sure to bury it tightly to prevent the wind from entering.In this way, wait until it is dug out in the first month, so that it will be as fresh as the freshly broken ones and will not go bad. This method is generally popular in Li Ran's hometown in his previous life, and it is very easy to use.And these thousand sugar canes were dug out for eating in the first month, and for planting next year.

Seven or eight thousand sugar canes, Li Ran and Ji Nan will definitely not be able to finish it in a short time, so they are called Wang Dazhang Guihua, Ji Dong and Wang Xiaoju, and the former Wang Liu. Husband, no one has [-] big money a day, plus Ji Nan and Li Ran, a total of eight people do it together.

A total of three tools were made, which Li Ran had already thought about.The three couples who called to help squeezed the sugarcane juice with tools, and Li Ran and Jinan were in charge of boiling the squeezed sugarcane juice in a pot to make brown sugar in the kitchen.Here, in fact, there is still a little bit of Li Ran's careful thinking, just not wanting others to learn the method of making brown sugar so early.

At the beginning, everyone was exposed to this new tool for squeezing sugarcane juice for the first time, and it was relatively slow to do it, but after everyone got started, it was much faster.Fortunately, Li Ran's house built a double-pot stove, and they were not small.The fire is big, and it is cooked very quickly.

The completion time was about the same as Li Ran had imagined. After thirteen days of hard work, the seven or eight thousand pieces of sugar cane were finally boiled into brown sugar.The quality of the brown sugar is very good, and it is also very sweet. After all, the raw material is good and has not been polluted.Sugar cane yields a high rate of sugar, so much sugar cane is boiled into brown sugar, and there are nearly [-] catties of brown sugar.

Li Ran paid the wages of the three couples who came to help, and each family gave two catties of brown sugar. The people who came to help were very happy and felt that Li Ran was generous.Although they don't know what this so-called brown sugar is, they know that sugar is a good thing, and it sells for more than ten yuan per catty outside. This dark red thing tastes sweet, and the price should not be low.

About [-] catties of brown sugar were put into the large jar that Li Ran bought back, of which about [-] catties were kept at home for eating and fried bean paste later, Li Ran put it in the cellar, and the remaining four Baijin was to be sold to Zhao Youting, and it was placed in a warehouse specially set aside for storage.

It took Li Ranyou two or three days to take out some of the sun-dried radishes and marinate them, ready to take them to Pingyang Town to show Uncle Ji Xi whether they can be sold.This sun-dried radish is also very delicious when soaked in water and fried with meat, or eaten cold with sesame oil and sauce.Then Li Ran made some Wuhe sweet and sour radishes from the four to five hundred catties of fresh radishes left over from last time.Speaking of which, this Taihe sweet and sour radish was a special product of this place called Wuhe in Li Ran's previous life. It tastes sour and sweet but very crisp and tender. It is very good. Li Ran liked it very much in his previous life, so he learned how to make it.Now there are a lot of radishes at home, and I can't finish them anyway, so I just make some to eat and sell.However, Li Ran didn't do much. Although he thought it was delicious, he wasn't sure if the people here would like it.After making these, Li Ran wanted to test the water first, and if the response was good, he would do it later, anyway, it was very simple.

After finishing these things, the time came to November 22. Ji Nan and Li Ran took the finished brown sugar, dried braised radish and sweet and sour radish to Pingyang Town. The brown sugar was signed with Zhao Youting a long time ago. After the contract is completed, it is time to show Zhao Youting the finished product, and the braised radish and sweet and sour radish are brought to Uncle Ji Xi to see if they can be sold.

Ji Nan and Li Ran always came early, and Huibin Restaurant hadn't opened yet as usual.But Ji Xi has already come to Huibin Restaurant early. Although Ji Xi is only the shopkeeper of Huibin Restaurant, he has devoted a lot of effort in Huibin Restaurant, and almost all his time is spent on managing the restaurant. .

Ji Xi saw that Ji Nan and Li Ran were coming, and happily invited them in to sit down.After Li Ran explained his intentions, he opened the small clay pot and showed him the brown sugar inside.Ji Xi has been listening to what Li Ran said about brown sugar, and now he finally sees the finished product.Seeing brown sugar for the first time, Ji Xi was a little surprised.After spooning some of the dark red stuff in the clay pot, Ji Xi's eyes lit up immediately, it was really sweet, sweeter than the refined white sugar sold in the market.

Although Ji Xi only runs a restaurant, the business is almost the same.Ji Xi immediately realized that the price of this thing called brown sugar would not be low, or even high.Ji Xi put down the spoon in his hand, nodded, and said with a smile, "Not bad, very sweet."

After finishing speaking, Ji Xiyou went on to say: "The boss is not here now. He has gone out to inspect the property and check the accounts. I'm afraid he won't be able to return until mid-December. There was no price in the contract you signed with the boss, so this The price will not be confirmed until the boss comes back. But this item can be shipped first, if you agree, I will ask the guy to ship it tomorrow, what do you think?"

Although Zhao Youting's property can't be said to be spread all over Daqing, it's not too bad. There are Zhao Youting's properties in the capital and big cities like Qingyunfu.And in this ancient time, unlike modern times, the transportation was developed, and in ancient times, people spent a lot of time on the road.

Of course Li Ran and Ji Nan agreed with Ji Xi's idea.Although the money has not been paid yet, the two parties have done a lot of business, and they both know the characters of both parties, so they are not afraid of repaying their debts when the time comes.Besides, Zhao Youting is not bad for this lost money.Therefore, Li Ran and Ji Nan are very relieved.

Then Li Ran opened the two small clay pots next to it, which contained dried braised radish and sweet and sour radish.Ji Xi ate the sweet and sour radish first, and nodded involuntarily. The taste was sweet and sour, crisp and tender, very good.Then he ate another braised radish, but Ji Xi was immediately overwhelmed by the heat, and immediately poured tea.

This stewed dried radish was stewed by Li Ran with the brine made from the draft water in the pond, and a lot of dried chili was added to it. Although the chili was dried, its spiciness was no worse than that of fresh one.So it's no wonder that Ji Xi was so hot.As I said earlier, the eating habits of the people in Pingyang Town are very ordinary.

After pouring a lot of tea, Ji Xi couldn't help slapping her tongue indecently.After a while, Ji Xi said: "These two kinds of radishes taste good, and they will definitely sell well. Especially the stewed radish, although it is very spicy, but the spicy taste makes the mouth water. The more you eat, the more you want to eat it, and it is very spicy Appetizer." Although the sweet and sour radish is also very delicious, as far as Ji Xi is concerned, he personally prefers the braised radish.Relatively speaking, this sweet and sour radish should be preferred by Brother Fulang and children.

Ji Xi's brain immediately started to work. His Huibin restaurant is in the food business, and the braised dried radish and sweet and sour radish are very appetizing. If the guests can eat some of the braised radish or dried radish before serving Sweet and sour radishes, if their stomachs are opened, will they order more dishes, which in turn will drive the business of the restaurant?In particular, this dried braised radish is also very good with wine. However, the pepper in this braised radish should be put less, otherwise it will be too spicy to eat, and if you eat too much of this spicy food, you will feel uncomfortable.

Ji Xi took another sip of tea, and said to Li Ran and Ji Nan: "These two kinds of radishes are good, especially the braised dried radish, which is very good and appetizing. It's just that it's too spicy. If you want to sell it, I have to put down less chili. This sweet and sour radish is also good, but relatively speaking, it will be more liked by the children of the brother-in-law. I want both restaurants." Although Ji Xi is only the shopkeeper of Huibin Restaurant, he has a big idea He can't decide, but the one who buys dried braised radishes and sweet and sour radishes can still decide, so Ji Xi ordered these two kinds of radishes in one bite. Ji Xi believes that as long as the business is good, it will definitely be Huibin Restaurant again. a major feature of .

Li Ran smiled happily and nodded. This is something he didn't expect for a moment. He got the braised radish according to his own taste. However, under the influence of Li Ran, Ji Nan and Xiaoyuan also like spicy food very much, and No wonder Li Ran didn't expect that the eating habits in Pingyang Town were generally bland, and such a spicy taste would really be unbearable. "Uncle Ji Xi, don't worry, I will put less chili peppers when I go back. When it's ready, I'll bring it here for you to try. If you think it's ok, then follow the steps below." Make all the dried radishes according to this level, otherwise they will really not be sold.

In the end, the two parties negotiated the price, and the price of each catty of dried braised radish and sweet and sour radish was the same as ten Wen per catty.Now is the time when radishes are on the market, and radishes outside can be sold for three to four yuan a catty, and Ji Xi almost doubled the price.Of course, the price is not fixed. If these two kinds of radishes sell well, you can increase the price as appropriate. If they are not good, you may not want them in the future, but this situation should not happen.Li Ran was also very satisfied with the price. After all, if the braised radish and sweet and sour radish were not made, the radish alone would not be able to sell at this price, and it might even be impossible to sell it.

After discussing the business, several people chatted for a while, Ji Xi told Li Ran that the chestnut duck had a very good response, and it was a signature dish of Huibin Restaurant, and this dish was also made in Huibin Restaurant in Qingyun Mansion , but the chestnuts are not enough, and they will be used up in January and February next year.In this case, you have to wait until September and October next year to have chestnuts, and continue to cook this dish.

For this problem, Li Ran really has no way to solve it. After all, this is not a modern age, and it is impossible to do all kinds of vegetables and other things all year round like in the previous modern age.Li Ran can only suggest to Ji Xi to find other houses that sell chestnuts. All the chestnuts in his house are given to Huibin Restaurant.

Ji Xi asked Li Ran and Jinan again: "When will you dig your lotus roots?" Now it's time for lotus roots to go on the market. Other restaurants in Pingyang Town have already shipped lotus roots from other places as in previous years, Huibin The restaurant is not as usual because of the lotus root from Li Ran's family.But seeing that Li Ran's family didn't intend to dig lotus roots for a long time, Ji Xi came to ask.

Li Ran had already thought about the issue of lotus roots. Li Ran told Ji Xi about the issues he had considered before, and said: "The issue of lotus roots is not sure yet. I will talk about it after December. I will come to inform Uncle Ji Xi."

Ji Xi listened to Li Ran's concerns, and of course agreed. This fresh fish is now the biggest advantage and reputation of Huibin Restaurant in Pingyang Town. It can't be just because of the lotus root. .

After coming out of Huibin Restaurant, the two of them went to Tangbuzhuang again. Now it’s almost November, and the weather has become really cold. Although the sun still shines every day, the temperature is not high. In the morning, it was only three or four degrees, or even lower, and it was impossible to wear the thin padded jacket that I made before. It was still a busy time, and the two of them went to the town to buy cloth and cotton, so Xiaoyuan and Uncle Zhang put on more clothes to keep out the cold.Now that I entered the town, of course I have to buy this important thing.

After buying cloth and cotton, some meat and other odds and ends, the two drove home in an ox cart.As usual, the cloth and cotton were taken to Zhang Guihua's house, and asked him to help make them.Furthermore, Li Ran has to discuss with Zhang Guihua about buying radishes. Although Li Ran's family has planted three or four acres of radishes, the output is not bad, but if he wants to supply Huibin restaurant with enough goods, it may be difficult. It was also difficult, so Li Ran had to buy radishes.

Of course, all of this was Li Ran's idea, and Li Ran also told Zhang Guihua that if the radish did not sell as well as he thought, he might not be able to sell the radish from Zhang Guihua's family.This meant that Li Ran knew that Zhang Guihua was straightforward and sensible, so Li Ran would tell him in advance like this. If it was someone else, Li Ran would have to wait until he really wanted to sell radishes before running out to tell him.

Of course Zhang Guihua was happy about Li Ran's words, and knew that Li Ran was helping his family, otherwise why would they think of their own family first in this village.Moreover, if the radishes are not easy to sell, it is normal for people not to buy their own radishes, there is nothing to say at all.

Back home, Li Ran made some dried braised radishes that afternoon. After waiting for two or three days, Li Ran asked the man who came to fish every day to bring the dried braised radishes to Ji Xi for a taste, if possible. , he will do it according to this in the future, if it doesn't work, he will change it again.

The next day, Ji Xi called the guy who pulled the brown sugar to come early.About [-] catties of brown sugar are packed in large earthenware pots, and each pottery pot can hold about fifty catties, which is a big pottery pot.Fortunately, the guy came in a carriage with a shed, otherwise I was really worried that the clay pot would fall down on the road.

The author has something to say: I accidentally cut a long cut on my hand yesterday, and the blood was flowing (hey, it’s a bit exaggerated) but it really hurts, and it still hurts a little today. I didn’t update it yesterday, really terribly sorry

There are a few today, and I will strive for more chapters tomorrow
