Chapter 340 341: I want to divide it this way
It was almost eleven o'clock when everyone picked out all the white hyacinths from two baskets and a sack. Those for seeding were put into baskets, and those for Ning'an to sell had to be cleaned and spread out to drain the water.
Zhou Huaian stretched and said, "Finally, I'm done. Let's wash my face and feet and go to bed!"
Mother Zhou yawned, "Oh! I haven't peeled and drained the peas I soaked yet!"
Yang Chunyan quickly put down the washcloth and said, "Mom, let's go get it and everyone can help rub it. It will be done in a while."
Zhang Xiuxiang smiled and pulled her back, "No need, you're not feeling well, we can just go."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law carried two buckets of peas to the well and poured them into a large wooden basin.
Zhou Huairong picked up the bucket and said, "I'll help fetch water."
The soaked peas are easy to skin, and the skins will not be wasted. Put a colander on top, scoop out the pea skins floating on the water and pour them into a bucket to feed the pigs.
Then rinse the peeled peas, pour them into a colander and drain the water.
Tomorrow morning, add wheat bran and mix well. Then spread it evenly in a winnowing basket. Then spread the Artemisia selengensis on the peas. Put it in a cool, dark place to allow it to ferment naturally and grow mycelium.
After about a week, uncover the wormwood and check. When the peas are covered with yellow mold, the fermentation is successful.
Then rub the successfully fermented moldy peas slightly, sieve them, grind them into powder with appropriate amount of salt, star anise, pepper and cinnamon, add chopped pepper and white wine, mix well, put them into a large jar, cover them with gauze and dry them in the sun.
After two months of continuous drying, the pea paste is ready. When eating, scoop a spoonful of it, add some sesame oil and mix it to make dipping sauce or stir-fried meat sauce.
The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were busy in the yard. The old man and Zhou's father sat on the chairs, opened their pipes and smoked a leaf cigarette, then washed up and went to bed.
The next morning, Zhou Huaian and Yang Chunyan took their rations and walked up the mountain to the forest farm.
The two climbed up a beam, and Yang Chunyan remembered Zhou Huaian's words last time, that there was a small path next to it, and it would take half the time to climb the mountain from there. "Huaian, how about we go up the mountain from that side today?"
"Don't go there!" Zhou Huaian reached out and grabbed her, leading her up the path. "The path is narrow and close to the ditch. There's also a section that's slippery and steep. You can't go there now."
Yang Chunyan nodded after hearing this, "Then let's go this way."
"Yan'er, you're alone on the mountain. Are you scared?"
"What's there to be afraid of in broad daylight?" Yang Chunyan suddenly remembered that he said he wanted to go to the bottom of the burned forest to take a look, "Do you really want to go there to catch musk deer?"
Zhou Huaian laughed and said, "Silly boy, even though musk deer go out early in the morning, they are not that easy to catch. We are lucky to be able to catch a few wild goats this time."
Yang Chunyan glanced at him with a smile and said, "Aren't you lucky?" You are probably the only one who can poop out golden poop.
"That's true!" Zhou Huaian looked at her with a smile, "Yan'er, when the truffles come out, we will send the samples to Doctor Xiao Wang for review. After they decide to place an order, how do you think we and Big Brother should divide the profits?"
Yang Chunyan thought for a moment, "In the past, we took half, and my eldest brother and his three families took half. When the truffle collection is settled, we can give them only 10% each, or we can divide it as before. Which one do you choose?"
Zhou Huaian thought about it, looked at her hesitantly, and said: "If they still buy in large quantities, we will divide this business into ten parts.
"My eldest brother and his family will contribute one part of the capital, and we will give them one part of the profit. As for the remaining two parts, I want my sister and Yiding to contribute one part of the capital as well, so that each of us can get one part. Do you think that's okay?"
Yang Chunyan thought for a moment and responded readily, "Okay! But it hasn't been decided yet, so don't tell anyone yet."
"I know!" Zhou Huaian looked at her with shining eyes, "Thank you, my wife!"
"I should thank you for telling my eldest brother about the red mushroom harvest early on, and for only taking 20% of the profit."
"I told my eldest brother-in-law that it was to express my gratitude to my father-in-law and mother-in-law for not despising me and marrying you to me."
Yang Chunyan glared at him and said, "My mom said you tricked her away with your smooth talk!"
Zhou Huaian smiled and held her hand, "I'm good at talking. If I can't talk, how can I coax you into becoming my wife? To be honest, I'm worried that our son will be like you, not saying a word for a long time. How can he get a wife when he grows up?"
Yang Chunyan gave him a glare and said, "You can brag about anything. You are indeed a rich guy."
"You are also a rich cow now."
The Cold Dew Festival had passed, and the weather in the forest farm was much cooler than at the foot of the mountain. The two wore coats when they went out in the morning, and they didn't feel hot walking in the woods until the sun came out.
As soon as the two arrived at the mountain path leading to the forest farm, they heard the barking of a dog.
"Ding Ding Cat, Dahei, Dahuang, I'm here." Zhou Huaian shouted towards the mountain at the top of his voice.
The shouts were still echoing in the forest when Dahei and Dahuang ran down the mountain one after another.
"Woof woof, woof woof!" The two dogs circled around the two people, wagging their tails.
Zhou Huaian rubbed Dahei and Dahuang, "Where is your master?"
"Here we are." Zhou Yiding came down from the woods with a backpack and a gun on his back, looking at the two with a smile, "I thought you were going to wait until you moved into the new house before coming up the mountain!"
"I have to wait until you're home before I move into the new house. I'm still waiting for your complete set of furniture!" Zhou Huaian said as he pulled the basket on his shoulder and took a look. "Not bad! There are pheasants and rabbits, and even a bunch of dendrobiums!"
"After following you for so many days, I can recognize some herbs." Zhou Yiding proudly put down his backpack and picked up the dendrobium. "Sister-in-law, take a look at what kind of herbs this is..."
Yang Chunyan took it and looked at it. "This kind of Dendrobium is called flat yellow grass, and its flowers are very beautiful."
"That's all we found. I'll plant some to see if they can survive." Zhou Yiding put the dendrobium into his backpack. "We shot four pheasants and five fat rabbits. I got up early in the morning to pick some mushrooms and put them in the cave. We'll go back and kill a chicken and stew mushroom chicken."
Zhou Huaian glanced at him sideways, "Getting up early in the morning to pick mushrooms, when did you become so diligent?"
"Get lost~" Zhou Yiding smiled and punched him, "I've always been so hardworking, don't ruin my reputation!"
"You have a shitty reputation. You're just as lazy and second-rate as me."
"Get lost!" Zhou Yiding threw the wild rabbit over.
Zhou Huaian picked up the wild rabbit and said, "It's quite fat. I'll help you bring the mountain products down to sell when I get down the mountain."
"Remember to peel off the rabbit skin and save it to make clothes for my nephew in the future." Zhou Yiding thought of the badger pig he caught last time, "Did you use the badger pig skin to make clothes?"
Zhou Huaian clapped his hands and said, "Oh, I'm so busy every day that I've completely forgotten about it."
