Because relatives, friends, neighbors, etc. will come to visit, it is called "zhuanxi", which means you can eat wherever you come to.

There are not many special requirements for small farmers. They just cook a large clay pot of sauerkraut and bacon, add some walnuts and other dried fruits, and warm a basin of wine.

People only come out for a walk after having dinner, they don’t come here just for dinner. The wine and meat you bring out to entertain them is a way of hospitality, and it’s just a courtesy for them to eat a little.

After breakfast, several neighbors came and went. Wang Zheng’s uncle came over. He was a rare guest. Although the distance between the two houses was not far, it was more than ten miles away. Usually, no one would be seen here.

Wang Yu quickly took out the goodies to entertain his brother-in-law and chatted with him.

Yingniang leaned against Wang Zheng and whispered, "He must be here to ask for the secret method of growing bean sprouts."

Wang Zheng shook his head and smiled, "I've already told mom that I'll give it to them in two months. What do you have to worry about?"

There is no such thing as thin-skinned walnuts in this era. All walnuts are as hard as iron, and it takes a lot of effort to get them into your mouth. This kind of walnut is actually not suitable for eating, but is best used as a collectible.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Wang Zheng instructed: "When you have nothing to do, play with it often. If someone asks about it, just say that you found it yourself. If someone wants it and the price is similar, you can sell it.

"Boil it for half an hour, and soak it for a little longer. It should be almost done when the water cools down."

If they return the money, you should also return it to them, just a little less. I think they won’t mind it too much. Don’t spread this method. I won’t teach you the secret method again in the future.”

Two hours later, five purple-red walnuts were taken out of the jar, rinsed with water, and wiped clean to make them look more moisturized.

As soon as Wang Wu brought the clay pot back, he immediately put everything in it and started cooking.

Yingniang brought five walnuts over and said, "Brother, do you want some walnuts? Do you need Yingniang to help you open them? Just use the door clamp, it will be quick."

Wang Zheng feels that the so-called playing with walnuts is actually similar to stewing meat, except that the process is prolonged.

"You can't tell anyone. If you dare to tell anyone, I'll bite you to death. And you can't get walnuts either. Only I can get them. I'll give you some of the money I make from selling them."

“I have ambition.”

In the Tang Dynasty, transactions generally involved copper coins, but that didn't mean silver was no longer useful. On the contrary, in really big stores, people generally used silver for transactions.

However, Wang Zheng didn't know the principle. The reason he knew this method was that when he was braising meat in his previous life, he accidentally put a walnut into the meat. He didn't notice it at the time. When the meat was braised, he took out the walnut and it became like this.

"How long does it take to cook?"

"Can you make money this way?" Yingniang looked suspicious.

"Just give it a try first."

Yingniang rolled her eyes and begged, "How about you give me another secret method to make money? I won't tell anyone and I can secretly earn some money, okay?"

"Then my sister-in-law will immediately tell the secret method to her parents' family, and their two families will also tell their relatives. Then everyone will know the method, and bean sprouts will not be able to be sold for money."

Yingniang nodded vigorously at Wang Zheng, then looked at Wang Wu and threatened him viciously.

Wang Zheng praised Wang Wu against his will, but he was thinking in his heart that when this kid grows up, he should be allowed to experience some of the harshness of society. Otherwise, it is not good to be so hot-blooded all the time, as such people die the fastest.

Yingniang was a little obsessed with it, and Wang Wu was also stunned and said, "I have seen this kind of walnuts in the city. The color is not as beautiful as this one, but it is smoother than this one. That kind of walnut costs two taels of silver a pair."

"Well, I promise not to tell anyone."

Walnuts for ornamental purposes have been around since ancient times. After being played with for a long time, they become moist and smooth, a bit like jade, which is why people like them.

A real man should pursue wealth and glory immediately. My ambition is to fight on the battlefield. Who would care about your broken walnut? "

Wang Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Go get some walnuts."

The key point is that there is no one or anything here that Wang Zheng is very nostalgic for, so it doesn’t matter whether he comes back or not.

Wang Zheng really didn't know that the mountains were high and the waters were long. It would take almost two months to walk back and forth. It would be difficult to come back again if nothing happened.

Wang Wu looked disdainful and said, "I don't care about walnuts. What else can this thing do except making some money?

"When will you come back from your trip to Shuzhong this time?"

"What's going on? How come the walnuts become like this after putting these things in and cooking them?"

After all, one tael of silver weighs about ten kilograms. The really rare things cannot be bought with just one tael of silver. For places with high consumption, one tael of silver will not be of much use.

"Then what's the point of them taking the method away? Don't worry, as long as they want to make money, they won't spread the secret method to everyone so quickly. Even if they want to spread it, it will take time. Our family will always make some money."

After New Year's Day, Wang Zheng also put the matter of returning to Shuzhong on the agenda.

Facing Yingniang's earnest eyes, Wang Zheng could only smile bitterly and said, "I don't know."

"Then just give it to them. What's the problem?"

No one can carry dozens or hundreds of kilograms of money with them when going out, so gold and silver have become must-have items in high-consumption places.

Wang Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not that I want to eat it, this is a way for you to make money. Go find a small clay pot with a lid, put the walnuts in it, add some water, put a piece of fat pork in it, add some fermented black beans, and finally put it on the fire to cook."

"What if mother can't resist my uncle's request?"

There was no suitable small clay pot at home, so Yingniang asked Wang Wu to buy one, and she prepared the fatty pork and fermented black beans in advance.

Even though he doesn't have a deep relationship with his family, Wang Zheng doesn't want the old to die before the young in this family.

“I see.”

Yingniang thought for a moment and asked, "How about I go to Shuzhong with my brother?"

"That's definitely not possible. How can you, a little girl, run around everywhere? Your parents will definitely not agree. Besides, what are you going to do in Shuzhong?"

"I'm going to Shuzhong to earn copper coins."

What a practical idea!
