Transmigrated to a Famine Year, a Fortunate Wife Relies on Her Farm to Prosper the Whole Family

Waking up from a dream, Su Yun transmigrated from a modern office worker to a young wife in an ancient rural village. Not only did she have an elderly and frail mother-in-law, but also two young an...

Chapter 41 Your good fortune is yet to come

He Liu carefully tasted the food in his mouth and found that apart from the aroma of meat, oil, and a faint hint of spices, there was no other unpleasant taste.

"Auntie, try this one too. This is stir-fried pork liver. There's nothing like those stuffed in pork liver. Auntie, give it a try."

Under such warm hospitality, He Liu couldn't refuse. Considering that pig liver indeed contained nothing else, it should be much cleaner, so she took a small bite.

The tender pork liver has a different texture than regular meat, but it is just as oily and fragrant, filling your mouth with its aroma.

Especially with the addition of scallions and ginger, there was no unpleasant smell at all. In He Liu's words, all that was left was the word "delicious".

"Hmm, it's quite delicious. This stuff is also quite strange; it's clearly not meat, but it tastes like meat." He Liu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"This is meat, just a different kind of meat," Su Yun'er said, seizing the opportunity to continue promoting the product.

"This bowl contains braised large intestines and braised pig tongue. I've carefully removed all the dirt from them, since I'll be eating them myself eventually. Don't worry, Auntie, have a taste."

With the pig liver as a prelude, He Liu was much more accepting of pig intestines and pig tongue, and she ate a bite of each.

The pig tongue is sliced ​​into pieces, looking like ordinary meat, but when you bite into it, the meat is firmer and chewier; while the pig intestines have a slightly slippery and soft texture with a bit of chewiness, and the fat inside has been stewed away. With the combination of spices and seasonings, it is fragrant but not greasy, which is another kind of deliciousness.

Su Yun'er's dish of offal dishes ultimately won over He Liu's appetite.

"Grandma Chen, I never expected your daughter-in-law to cook such delicious food. Others would think this stuff is dirty, but your daughter-in-law manages to make it look amazing!" As she spoke, He Liu shoveled a large mouthful of rice into her mouth, eating a piece of pork tongue.

Seeing that He Liu was enjoying his meal, Old Mrs. Chen also tried some and praised it repeatedly.

The small trees and grasses, on the other hand, don't have the concept of internal organs, and smelling the aroma, they've already been eagerly anticipating their meal.

In the end, the five people ate every last drop of the food on the table, even the last drop of soup was mixed with rice and eaten.

After the meal, Su Yun'er served everyone some hawthorn tea.

These are hawthorn slices that I dried a few days ago. You can drink them by simply adding hot water. The sour taste is slowly released in the hot water, which is perfect for cutting through greasiness and is ideal for everyone at this time of year.

He Liu ate to his heart's content, truly having eaten three large bowls of rice.

Since the famine before the Lunar New Year, she couldn't remember the last time she had eaten so heartily.

"Grandma Chen is so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law as Yun'er. I've really discovered it today. Yun'er keeps the whole house clean and tidy, inside and out. She's also a great cook, and I heard she's even making money selling gourds in the city. Grandma Chen, your good fortune is just beginning!"

During the meal, He Liu changed how he addressed Su Yun'er, and his manner became much more intimate and natural.

After chatting with the Chen family for a while, He Liu said goodbye with a satisfied burp.

Before leaving, Su Yun'er also packed some dried hawthorn for her to take home and add to tea or stew.

After seeing He Liu off, Su Yun'er was in a good mood. He Liu was a native of this village and almost everyone in the village knew him. He often gathered with the women in the neighborhood to work and chat. She believed that today's meal would soon spread throughout the village through He Liu's words.

If more people are willing to accept offal in cooking, I can consider selling braised offal.

Offal is cheap to produce, so if you set reasonable prices so that even people who can't afford meat can afford it, your profits will be substantial.

Thinking about new ways to make money in the future, Su Yun'er felt even better.

However, she now needs to start thinking about the business of making candied hawthorns and candied balls.

The candied hawthorn business cannot be abandoned until the offal trade is established.

Su Yun'er arrived at the space and found that the rice she had planted was already halfway grown. She watered and fertilized it, looking forward to the rice ripening.

After browsing through her friends' space, Su Yun'er thought she wouldn't find anything special and was just blindly following instructions when suddenly, a system notification sounded.

[Ding-dong—Harvest new crop: Yam*3]

Yam?!

Su Yun'er immediately perked up.

Yam is also a versatile food; it can be used as a staple food, a vegetable dish, or a dessert.

In her previous life, one of Su Yun'er's favorite desserts was blueberry yam.

One of the reasons that made Su Yun'er happiest was that yam was also a member of the candied hawthorn family—candied yam!

I ran back to the warehouse excitedly and saw three bundles of yams neatly stacked inside.

Because it's produced by the space, the yams are of very good quality; they won't grow crooked or cracked, and there are no cracks on the yams that have been damaged by being harvested.

Each one is about the same thickness, about the thickness of a thumb and forefinger folded together.

The thickness is just right.

Su Yun'er casually picked up two, removed the fine hairs from them, cut them into the length she wanted, and then steamed them over high heat.

After steaming, some of the hawthorn berries, about a hand's length long, are skewered on a separate stick, while others, about the length of a little finger, are skewered on a stick along with the hawthorn berries.

With this, Su Yun'er's candied hawthorn products have gained two new members.

As usual, Su Yun'er had Xiao Shu send some of the new products to Aunt Song's house.

When Xiaoshu returned this time, he brought back some dried green beans.

"Grandma Song said she dried them herself. Mom, how do you eat these?" Xiao Shu looked at the wrinkled, dark dried beans with great curiosity.

"This can be used to stew meat, it's delicious."

Su Yun'er also loved dried green beans in her past life. When she was little, she would dry them with her mother and then soak them in the winter to stew with meat.

Later, when her mother's health deteriorated, they stopped making it. But whenever they went to eat Northeastern iron pot stew, Su Yun'er would always order a plate of dried green beans.

But that tiny dish costs more than ten yuan.

After carefully storing the dried green beans, Su Yun'er was already looking forward to the next time she would stew meat.

The next day.

Su Yun'er's new product, sugar yam, has once again attracted a lot of attention.

"Candied yam? Isn't yam a medicinal herb? How can it be made into a dessert?"

"If you have any doubts, that's alright. Come and have a taste first. There are free samples of candied yam here." Su Yun'er smiled and handed out samples to the onlookers one by one. After seeing that most of them had received some, she said, "This yam can be used as medicine, as a staple food, or as a dish. When it is fully cooked, it has a soft texture and melts in your mouth. It is also easy to digest and good for your stomach."

"Hmm? This yam tastes pretty good when eaten with sugar. I thought it would taste weird."

"Since you think it's delicious, why don't you bring some home for your family too?" Su Yun'er suggested, taking the opportunity to promote the product.
