Chapter 260: Stepping on Tang Qingshan to achieve success

The small stream at home has been paved by Yuan Yaochu and two others. I don't know where they bought the colored stones from, but it looks very nice after paving.

The voices of Yuan Yaochu and the other two could be heard faintly outside. They must have been so interested that they even set up the stall outside.

Seeing Xinbao wake up, Madam Lin brought the goat milk from the warm niche to her and poured it carefully into the cup. Xinbao wrapped herself in a small blanket and drank the milk tea. Smelling the strong peanut aroma, she picked up a stick and picked up the peanuts in it.

Madam Lin quickly stopped him, "Don't move! Be careful not to burn yourself! It's not crispy when you just took it out, eat the one over there."

Yan Shenjue took it from the side and peeled it casually, and Xinbao took the peanut kernels from his hand and ate them.

Mrs. Lin’s cooking skills are just average, but she is an expert at roasting chestnuts and peanuts in a brazier. The soil here is good, and the peanuts grown here are big and plump, and taste crispy and fragrant.

Then the adults continued with the previous topic.

Brother Yuan asked, "Uncle, do you mean to find someone who can do it for a long time?"

"Yes," Tang Qingshan said, "We need to make money. The vegetables, herbs, and grapes in this field all grow very fast, but they can't be sold in the field."

"I understand what you mean," said Brother Yuan, "These are things that will be gone once they are sold. But uncle, we still have to plant fruit trees on the mountain next year. We will be busy in the spring, and even busier in two or three years when they start to bear fruit... We will be busy all year round. If you find a big business and set up a stall now, what will you do then?"

Tang Qingshan nodded: "So I'm also thinking about it."

Brother Yuan advised him: "The next year, Tang Shifan wants to join the army, Erlang and Sanlang are not coming back, and there is actually no manpower at home."

Tang Qingshan said: "I want to do it again with Silang."

Brother Yuan suddenly realized: "Oh! Then I understand."

What Tang Qingshan meant was that Fourth Brother Tang liked to do this and was suitable for it, so he wanted to find a business, take him through it all the way from planning to operation, and let him learn something from it. After all, many things cannot be learned by just selling whatever you come across, like now.

This is what it means when parents love their children and plan for them in the long run.

Over there, Mrs. Lin was also chatting with her daughter: "There are so many peanuts, how about we grow some more peanut sprouts to eat?"

Xinbao nodded, and Madam Lin rolled her hair with her hands: "Xinbao's hair has grown longer!"

Xinbao still nodded, and Mrs. Lin just rolled it up and played with it, saying, "When the New Year comes, make some peanut candy for my Xinbao."

Xinbao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay, okay! We should do more!"

Brother Tang said, "Even the peanut sprouts and peanut candy, we won't be able to use much, we shouldn't have kept so much."

Xinbao asked, "Can we actually extract oil?"

Madam Lin asked curiously, "Extracting oil? Peanuts can be used to extract oil? How do you use it?"

Xinbao said, "For cooking!"

When she was asked, she remembered that there was no peanut oil at that time.

In the Ming Dynasty's "Heavenly Creations", many oils were mentioned. For example, it said that sesame oil, radish seed oil, soybean oil, and cabbage seed oil were the best, followed by sesame oil and rapeseed oil.

Sesame oil is sesame oil, and rapeseed is rapeseed oil. Peanut oil is not mentioned.

However, the "Yunnan Hai Yu Heng Zhi" of the fourth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty mentioned that "from Fujian to Guangdong, everyone eats peanut oil, and uses it to make lamps for night work."

However, in the third year of Daoguang's reign, the book "Differentiation of Food for Treating Diseases" only mentioned four types of edible oils: sesame oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, and cottonseed oil. Peanut oil was not mentioned at all. Even in Li Diaoyuan's "Notes on Guangdong East" during the Qianlong period, peanut oil was not mentioned.

It can be seen that peanut oil, which is most commonly used in later generations, was not popular in ancient times.

Especially for people in the country, the most commonly used oils are soybean oil and lard. As for sesame oil, it is not used for cooking.

Xinbao was immediately cheered up!!

You know, almost every household in Yutang Village grows peanuts! The Tang family also planted a lot before, but they didn’t plant any on the land they bought back! ! And the climate and soil here are very suitable for growing peanuts, so peanuts are very productive and of good quality! Xinbao said with bright eyes: "Peanut oil is delicious! And it doesn't have the bean taste of soybean oil! Dishes fried with peanut oil will not have a layer of white oil on them after they cool down! Very good!"

Tang Qingshan frowned slightly and asked his daughter, "How much oil can be produced from one pound of peanuts?"

Xinbao said, "One pound of peanuts has four ounces of oil, and good peanuts may have more!"

Tang Qingshan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Yan Shenjue and the others had no idea about this, but he knew that nowadays, a pound of good beans could only produce three ounces of oil! Moreover, soybean oil has a fishy smell, and many people can't get used to it!

Tang Qingshan said: "Xinbao, these peanuts..."

Before he could finish his sentence, someone outside asked, "Is Qingshan at home?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Tang Qingshan stopped talking and stood up. He saw Tang Lizheng standing outside. Tang Qingshan called him, "Uncle, come in and sit down."

Tang Lizheng came in with a smile on his face.

Several people stood up, greeted him with a smile, and Mrs. Lin also stood up and poured him a cup of tea.

Tang Lizheng took a sip.

In fact, this was the black tea that was bought for making milk tea. Because Yan Shenjue bought such a good quality tea, he was reluctant to use it to make milk tea and just kept it at home to drink.

Tang Lizheng couldn't tell what kind of tea it was, but he thought it tasted good. He couldn't help but say, "Qingshan, you are really a wealthy family! Even the tea is good!"

When Tang Qingshan talked to the villagers, his accent would be heavier, consciously or unconsciously, and he said, "Uncle, please don't bully me. I have many children in my family and I need a place to live."

Although he was modest, Tang Lizheng still praised him a few times, and then praised Xinbao with a smile on his face: "Your daughter is getting more and more beautiful!"

Xinbao said crisply: "Thank you, uncle."

Tang Lizheng nodded, and then got to the point: "Qingshan, I heard that after the New Year, you are going to invite a master for Wulang and Liulang?"

Tang Qingshan drooped his eyelashes and smiled faintly: "Yes, because of all the trouble at home, Wulang and Liulang are already seven years old, and they still run around the village like crazy every day!"

Tang Lizheng laughed and said, "I know you are a kind person. When you were rich, you never forgot your fellow villagers and built an ancestral hall for the village. Now that you are rich, since you want to hire a teacher, why don't you take the children in the village and teach them? They are all relatives. If you give them a hand, everyone will be grateful to you..."

Brother Yuan and Yan Shenjue exchanged quick glances.

This village head did a really disgusting thing.

You know, Tang Qingshan originally planned to include the clan members, but his approach was to let the matter rest first. After everyone accepted the concept that "the teacher was invited by the Tang family", he would talk to the clan leader and bring the clan children to study together. In this way, everyone would be grateful and their money would not be wasted.

After all, they have really had enough of spending money to support ungrateful people!

But what happened after the head of the village made such a fuss?

That’s it. Tang Qingshan originally only wanted to hire a teacher for his own children, but the village head went to him out of kindness and justice, so Tang Qingshan had to teach all the children in the village together… In this way, all the favors belonged to the village head, and the Tang family wasted money and was accused of being stingy and not caring about their fellow villagers! !

He is clearly stepping on Tang Qingshan to build his own good reputation!

But what happened to him? Nothing happened!!
