The sprouts incident unfolded exactly as expected.
First, the Gu family made a lot of money by selling pickled mustard greens in the county.
Ten days later, Lin Pei suddenly announced the recipe for the sprouts to the public, catching the Gu family completely off guard. (Thinking of what others might say)
The wealthy and powerful families got a prescription for free, and then laughed at the Gu family for being unlucky, having been tricked by Lin Pei behind their backs.
Little did they know that the Gu family had long been aware of the truth; they were simply trying to make a quick buck and curry favor with Lin Pei.
The recipe for sprouts has benefited many people.
Lin Pei gained fame, Cao Qian got involved with Lin Pei, the Gu family suffered no loss, and ordinary people and other wealthy families got a prescription for free.
The affairs of the county are none of the Li family's business; once the prescription is sold, it becomes none of their concern.
Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, it's New Year's Eve.
Ten days ago, the fourth branch stopped selling tofu, carefully calculated the profits and divided the money, and Pan Jinhua also received her share.
Yan watched with envy as her clansmen happily divided the money.
She was very envious, but her family had no income and was currently eating at Pan Jinhua's house.
The other four families had started eating separately after they began doing business, so they ate together as a welcome when Yan and his family arrived.
Yan was a strong-willed woman and was very anxious, but there was nothing she could do. Not to mention that the tofu business had already been decided by several companies, even if it hadn't been decided, she couldn't afford to invest. She could only feel frustrated.
Now the children in the family have started school again, and their teachers are Li Qingyao and Wang Jiao.
Pan Jinhua also felt that since they were going to learn anyway, they might as well let the two with a good foundation teach the younger ones together.
They also paid Li Qingyao and Wang Jiao their wages, settling accounts every seven days.
To support his family, Li Qingyao worked exceptionally hard, watching over his children every day as they learned to read and recite. Now, the children trembled with fear whenever they saw him.
Li Qingyao was such a handsome young man, but after only half a month of teaching, he looked much older. It seems that no matter how old you are, once you start working, you'll develop a certain "classroom vibe."
Although Wang Jiao was young, he had started his education at the age of three. He was intelligent and had a wide range of interests, so he was quite qualified to teach the Li family's children.
Pan Jinhua loved to tease him whenever she saw him, and even taught him to recite the multiplication table. There is a multiplication table here, which was summarized by our predecessors, but it is not as catchy as Pan Jinhua's version.
After Pan Jinhua distributed the money, she asked Liu Yun to help make New Year's clothes for Yan Shi, Li Qingyao, Wang Jiao, and the children in the family.
Liu Yun also made new clothes for Pan Jinhua. She was skillful and made clothes with fine stitches. Although they were not as gorgeous as the clothes she wore in Nanze, Pan Jinhua still loved them very much.
In modern times, you couldn't buy this for less than several thousand or even tens of thousands of dollars.
These days, Pan Jinhua has been preparing ingredients for making spicy strips.
In her past life, her family would make and sell spicy strips to earn money, so she knew the recipe for these spicy strips.
Their homemade spicy snacks are quite famous, and the ingredients are made from bean curd sheets.
These days, the clan has already dried quite a few bean curd sheets.
Pan Jinhua took some, cut it into small pieces with scissors, poured water into a pot after lighting a fire, placed the pot in a steamer, poured the cut bean curd sheets on it and steamed them for 15 minutes, turning the bean curd sheets over during the process.
After steaming, remove the steamer and scoop out all the hot water from the pot.
After the dry pot was cooked, a lot of oil was poured in. Once the oil was hot, someone was asked to take the pot away. After the oil cooled, minced garlic, crushed dried chili powder, salt, five-spice powder, sesame seeds, etc., were poured into the oil and stirred thoroughly.
Finally, Pan Jinhua poured the steamed bean curd sheets into the oil, allowing each sheet to soak in the oil and be coated with chili.
Today, Pan Jinhua was preparing food, and apart from Li Qingzhang, all the children of the Li family had already crowded around her. Even Li Qingyao and Wang Jiao were pulled over by Li Qingjing and the others.
Li Qingjing thought: If I ran over here by myself and my mother saw me, she'd probably pull my ear. He brought Li Qingyao and Wang Jiao along, so no one would say anything to them!
While Pan Jinhua was stirring the seasonings, the children were already drooling from the aroma. By the time the bean curd sheets had fully absorbed the chili oil and turned a tempting red, Li Qingjun's mouth was already watering.
"Grandma, is it ready to eat?"
Li Qingjun couldn't wait any longer. While he was asking questions, the other children swallowed hard, their eyes fixed on the bowl of spicy strips.
"Alright, eat up!"
Pan Jinhua first filled a bowl with some food for herself, thinking that she couldn't let herself suffer if anyone else did.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he let the children's bellies do as they pleased.
Spicy strips are a type of snack that is oily, spicy, and flavorful.
Pan Jinhua dared to say that no one dislikes spicy, oily, and salty snacks; if anyone doesn't, then we should move to a different era.
In ancient times, oil was not cheap, salt was not cheap, and spices were not cheap either.
In other words, Pan Jinhua would only do it if she was willing to do it.
Besides, can a child resist spicy strips?
Spicy snacks are coming! Even the neighbor's kid is drooling with envy!
Spicy strips not only smell delicious, but they taste even better.
The children jumped around excitedly after just one bite, finding it delicious.
She ate very quickly, afraid that if she ate too slowly and missed a bite, someone else would finish it all, and that would break her heart.
Pan Jinhua's version is spicy, but not too spicy, so even children can handle the spiciness.
She pinched off a few pieces of bean curd skin covered in seasoning, took a bite, and felt incredibly satisfied.
When it comes to happiness, nothing beats eating spicy snacks. And if there's a TV on, milk tea would be even better!
The thought of milk tea made Pan Jinhua restless again.
In her past life, she was introduced to milk tea by the children in her family, and from then on she became a loyal customer of milk tea, wishing she could have a large cup every day. She tried all kinds of milk tea, including grass jelly, fruit tea, and tea drinks.
In this day and age, she could probably only make fruit tea.
But for now, she can only dream about it. She'll definitely give it a try next year when there's a good harvest of fruit.
"This spicy snack looks a bit greasy, but I didn't expect it to taste so good."
Li Qingyao was surprised. He grew up in the capital and had a light diet since childhood. It was only after arriving in Shao County that he tried many spicy dishes with the Li family.
He was very accepting of those dishes, and the fact that they tasted good was a major reason.
This snack looked oily, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious after just one bite.
Wang Jiao, who was standing next to Li Qingtong and Li Qingjun, hadn't stopped using his hands either.
It's clear that she loves to eat.
"Grandma's cooking is always the best. Eat quickly, or you won't be able to compete with them later."
Li Qing was speechless at Li Qingyao's behavior. He had time to sigh while eating. His father said he was smart, but he didn't think he was that smart. He wasn't even enthusiastic about eating. He must have something wrong with his brain.
Li Qingyao is an idiot!
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. We bought chickens and ducks early in the morning, and also raised two fish under the eaves.
Early in the morning, the three Li brothers were already thinking about killing chickens and ducks.
