"This..." Feng Zhenniang was also shaken after hearing her son's explanation: "Is it really that easy to figure out?"
Lin Rui nodded. He never underestimated the wisdom of the ancients. In the past, this kind of bean sprouts did not exist so no one would study in that direction. Now this inconspicuous bean sprout can make a lot of money, and those who are interested will definitely study it out.
Compared to bean sprouts, the tofu, dried tofu, bean skin and fermented bean curd are the highlights.
Of course, he didn't want to spend all day around the stove, but he had to accumulate his first pot of gold first!
Because the business is not that big now, Lin Rui has assigned one person from each family to learn the technology of growing bean sprouts. The one from Lin Changfa's family is the eldest brother Lin Zijun, the one from Lin Changhe's family is Lin Zicheng, and the one from Lin Pingmao's family is Lin Changtai.
Cao'er asked Lin Rui hesitantly if she could learn.
Lin Rui looked at her thin body with some surprise: "Sister Cao'er, you and Ermao have the task of reclaiming five acres of land every day, and then making these bean sprouts. Isn't it too tiring?"
Cao'er's face was no longer as pale as when they first met. Although he looked a little thinner, he looked cheerful and not at all depressed. He patted his son Ermao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I can learn and then make a few to sell. Even if I can earn ten cents a day, it's good. A little bit adds up to a lot. Ermao lost his father early, so I have to save money now to get him a wife."
Poor parents in the world!
Lin Rui sighed inwardly and said, "Sure, if you have some free time after clearing the wasteland, come on over."
"Hey, hey, hey, okay!" Cao'er was very happy to hear that and kept thanking Lin Rui.
The selected Lin Zicheng and others, along with Lin Rui, learned the production method after three days of study. Although the clan leader had said before that it was simple to grow bean sprouts, they did not expect it to be so simple. They just needed to keep them away from light, sprinkle some water, and put some charcoal in the workshop to increase the temperature. After three days, the bean sprouts would grow longer roots and could be harvested and sold in five days.
Some people living in the Huangmo River reclamation section looked at the four or five small houses built on a certain piece of land in surprise. The key point was that even after the small houses were built, those people still slept in the shacks and only went in and out of the small houses once a day. As a result, five days later, they saw the yellow vegetables that looked like roots being harvested one after another from the houses. Their eyes widened immediately. How did they do it?
Where do you grow vegetables in the middle of winter, and they are so fresh and tender!
There were quite a few people around who secretly cast curious glances at them, but they were immediately glared back by Lin Changxi, Lin Changhe, Lin Changtai and others, fearing that others would learn their way to make a fortune.
Lin Rui first sent 1,000 kilograms and 300 grams of these sprouted bean sprouts to the Xing family army camp on an ox cart.
Deng Hui had indeed been there early in the morning, waiting to receive them. Sihasha, frozen in the snow, kept stamping his feet outside the barracks. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Rui's ox cart arrive, and hurried over to them: "Why are you here so late?"
Lin Rui looked at the sky. According to the modern timetable, it was only about half past six, and it was not yet dawn!
Deng Hui saw his stunned look and smiled, "Don't treat the military camp like ordinary people's meals. The firemen in our Flying Tiger Battalion have to prepare meals for 5,000 people every day. How can the soldiers fight without full stomachs? The war can come at any time. Our firemen have to wake up at the latest at 3:00 am every day to prepare meals. If you send meals in the future, you have to do the same."
"Okay, okay, I got it. I'm really sorry for delaying Brother Deng. Sanliang, I'll get an extra 100 kilograms of bean sprouts for Brother Deng today." Lin Rui said. It was so hard to get up at Yinshi every day. Yinshi was equivalent to 3 to 5 in the morning. He couldn't even open his eyes when he got up at 6 o'clock today.
Let’s achieve economic freedom soon. I don’t want to live in this crappy life for even one day longer.
Deng Hui just said it casually and greeted them, but he didn't expect this little brother to be so generous and directly gave him a hundred kilograms. Rubbing his hands, he felt quite embarrassed: "Oh, I just said that, and you guys..."
Lin Rui got off the oxcart and unloaded the bean sprouts with San Liang. "Brother Deng, you are all heroes who defend our country. If it weren't for your livelihood, I would give you this oxcart of bean sprouts for free."
Deng Hui laughed heartily, liking this straightforward little brother even more. He waved his hand and said, "Hey, why do you still need to unload the food?" Then he shouted inside, "Brothers, come out and move the food!"
Soon, a group of people came out of the barracks and looked at Deng Hui with a smile: "Hey, what delicious food has the Fire Head Battalion prepared for us today?"
"Don't eat bran cakes every day. They sting your throat."
Deng Hui laughed and scolded, "It's good enough to have something to eat. You're still so picky."
"Hey, what is this! Vegetables? How can there be vegetables in Huangmo Pass when it's freezing cold?"
"Oh, it's so crisp and tastes good. I think it's okay to eat it raw." As he said this, the soldier grabbed another bite and stuffed it into his mouth, biting it with a crunching sound.
Deng Hui tried to stop one but couldn't stop the other, so he also pulled a handful of food and put it in his mouth, nodding his head: "Not bad, not bad, it's time to eat some vegetables. I haven't been able to poop for several days."
Deng Hui laughed and scolded, "Move it all out! Don't worry, you'll get a bite. Boss Wang originally only ordered 1,000 kilograms of bean sprouts from this little brother, but he saw how hard we were guarding the border and gave us 100 kilograms out of his own pocket. We have to thank him."
"Little brother, you are so nice!" The soldiers came over with a smile and greeted Lin Rui and thanked him.
Lin Rui smiled and shook his head: "No, no, if it weren't for Huangmo Pass, we wouldn't know where to go even if we were to flee the famine. Brothers, my bean sprout business is just starting out. If the business does well in the future, I will definitely not forget the soldiers guarding the border."
"good!"
"I'm determined to be your brother!"
Deng Hui also said, "Today I will make the decision for Boss Wang. From now on I will order 1,000 kilograms of bean sprouts from you every day."
Lin Rui thanked him repeatedly.
The business at the military camp was going smoothly. Lin Zijun, Lin Changtai, Lin Zicheng and others anxiously carried their freshly sprouted bean sprouts to the border market early in the morning. The three families had a total of more than 300 kilograms of bean sprouts, but they were sold out in less than half an hour.
They sold soybean sprouts at two cents per pound, unlike the mung bean sprouts that Lin Rui had left before at four cents per pound.
Soybean sprouts, which are two cents cheaper per pound, are more popular in the market, so this time Lin Rui, Uncle Guan and others collected soybean sprouts.
The people who bought Lin Rui's bean sprouts yesterday came to wait early this morning. The price of soybean sprouts in winter in the border area is even as cheap as seasonal vegetables. Every household can afford it. Not to mention the local people in Huangmoguan, even the pioneers who have just moved here will buy one or two pounds to take home for their children to supplement dietary fiber and facilitate excretion.
