Chapter 455 Making Soybean Paste
"Brother Zhou, why are you reclaiming so much land?"
Zhou Chaoyang asked curiously.
He knew Zhou Ziwen's family situation very well. There were vegetable plots in both yards, which were more than enough for Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters to eat.
"I'm going to plant some ginseng."
Zhou Ziwen did not hide it, and it was impossible to hide it. Once the mushrooms grew up, the ginseng field would become his main focus.
Fortunately, there are Tayun and Xiaobudian. If it weren't for them, he would have built a house over there and lived in it every day.
The main reason is that ginseng is too valuable and the treasure is very tempting.
If this thing is planted in the ground and is not watched over at all times, it is possible that it will be stolen accidentally.
Human nature is the thing that cannot stand the test.
He has already trained Tayun and Xiaobutian.
With them watching over us day and night, not even a blade of grass, let alone ginseng, will be lost.
"You can also grow ginseng?" Zhou Chaoyang looked at Zhou Ziwen in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Is it strange that I can grow ginseng? I also know medical skills." Zhou Ziwen raised his eyebrows at him.
"This ginseng and medical skills are not the same thing?" Zhou Chaoyang still couldn't believe it.
Not only does he know how to grow mushrooms, he also has medical skills. Not only does he know how to grow medicine, he has also started growing ginseng.
At this moment, he really wanted to ask, what else can't his brother Zhou do?
"They're all the same." Zhou Ziwen said casually and pretended to be cool.
To him, they are all the same. It's nothing more than using the auto-attack panel to hang up the game. There is no difference.
"Brother Zhou, you are too discouraging. With someone as powerful as you around, how are we mortals supposed to survive?" Shen Zhaodi sighed.
For her, whether it is growing mushrooms or growing ginseng, each of them requires years of learning.
What's more, Zhou Ziwen knows more than just these things. He also knows stonemasonry, carpentry, medicine, and so on, which are things that ordinary people need to spend their entire lives studying.
But what about Zhou Ziwen!
When I first came to the countryside, I didn't know anything. At most, I had been practicing boxing since I was a child, so I was a little stronger.
But it was only a few months, and as he showed more and more, he seemed to be becoming more and more versatile.
By now, Zhou Ziwen has almost been deified in their hearts.
Even if one day he said he would have a baby, they would not have any objection.
After chatting for a while, they also understood Zhou Ziwen's plan.
They didn't expect that he was already preparing to return to the city even though it was not certain whether he could return to the city.
There is no doubt that growing ginseng can make money.
But they were still a little unsure whether Zhou Ziwen could grow it.
Although Zhou Ziwen is a genius and knows a lot of things, growing ginseng still sounds unreliable.
However, as friends, they would definitely not discourage Zhou Ziwen's enthusiasm.
After all, Zhou Ziwen had already brought them enough surprises, so one more surprise would not be inconceivable.
As for Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi, they have unconditional trust in Zhou Ziwen.
They didn't know whether Zhou Ziwen could grow good ginseng, they just believed in Zhou Ziwen.
Since he said he can grow it, he must be able to.
After lunch, Zhou Ziwen continued to cultivate the land.
In just one afternoon, he had turned over two or three acres of land.
With his strength, one hoe strike could almost drive the entire thing into the soil.
He turned out large chunks of soil, broke them up, and mixed them evenly.
It has been plowed deeply and is almost cultivated.
But for Zhou Ziwen, just doing this is not enough.
After the land was cultivated, he found some auxiliary materials to increase the soil quality and make the land more fertile.
At this stage, you can start transplanting ginseng.
As for the follow-up, you just need to maintain it on time and slowly improve the soil quality.
Transplanting ginseng is not an easy task.
Normally, ginseng is planted starting from ginseng seeds, but Zhou Ziwen thought that was too slow and planned to plant ginseng seedlings directly.
He planned to find some ginseng in the mountains that was not yet mature but was still a few years old. He would then cultivate it for two or three years, harvest it, and sell it for money.
This way, you can save both trouble and time.
The only thing you need to consider is how to get ginseng seedlings.
But for Zhou Ziwen, this is not difficult.
In the mountains, there are a lot of ungrown ginseng like this. As long as you are careful and spend a little more time, it is no problem to plant several acres of land.
His land is only a little over two mu in total, of which only one mu is land, which strictly speaking should be nine tenths.
The nine acres of land belonged to him, and the rest belonged to the production team.
After all, if you come to the countryside and want to do something, you definitely need to go to the production team.
Money is not important to him, he just wants some start-up capital.
If he just grew the crops himself and didn't give any benefits to the production team, he was afraid that someone would become jealous.
The human heart cannot stand the test.
The ginseng he grows is so valuable that if he doesn't share some of the profits, he'll probably be in trouble.
But if a part of it was distributed to the production team, the result would be completely different.
By then, the captain and Wu Dagang will be there to support us.
Even if there are any troubles, they will take the initiative to solve them.
Sometimes, one person cannot take all the benefits, and the best way is to share them equally.
After taking care of the ginseng field, it was almost time, so Zhou Ziwen tidied up a little and turned around to go home.
After putting away his tools, he went to the mushroom house, punched out, and went home with the Chen sisters.
As for the ginseng field, I will go to the team leader to register it tomorrow and first put my land and the Chen sisters' land under my name, so that I can grow ginseng with a legitimate reason.
After returning home with the Chen sisters, they started to get busy.
The soybeans for the soybean paste that I prepared earlier have been soaked. You can make the soybean paste before it gets dark.
There are many steps in making soybean paste and it takes a long time. Zhou Ziwen plans to make the soybean paste base first.
Before making the sauce base, you need to cook the soybeans first and then grind them into soybean paste with a stone mill.
After being ground into soybean paste, it is wrapped in something and formed into cubes. After a period of natural fermentation, the sauce base is ready.
The soybeans for making paste have been soaked in the morning. Now you just need to put them in a pot, boil them, and then grind them into a paste.
While cooking the soybeans, they were also preparing tonight's dinner.
After the soybeans were cooked, Zhou Ziwen took them to the stone mill in the yard and started processing them.
Chen Qiaoyi excitedly helped add water.
Zhou Ziwen pushed the millstone a few times, and Chen Qiaoyi added a handful of soybeans and a little water.
Men and women working together make work less tiring.
In a short while, the soybean paste was ready.
After being busy for a while, Zhou Ziwen put the wrapped sauce dough next to the stove in the kitchen. After waiting for a while for the sauce dough to ferment naturally, he continued to make it.
While they were busy making the sauce base, Chen Shiying's dinner was also ready.
Once they clean up the battlefield, it’s time for dinner.
