Niu Eryan was overjoyed when Wang Liu called his eldest brother Niu the manager. "My eldest brother is the manager now? Brother Wang Liu, our village received a thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes a while ago. Was it my brother who sent them?"
Wang Liu smiled and said, "It was given by the boss. He said it was a reward for the stewards."
Hearing this, Niu Eryan was completely relieved. He asked with a happy face, "When will my eldest brother come back?"
"Come back before dark tonight. Is there anyone else from your village here with us? I need someone to prove your identity before I can let you in."
The thirteen-year-old little monkey who was guarding the gate with Wang Liu asked Niu Eryan, "Is Hu Dacheng from your village?"
"Dacheng? He's from our village. Is he also on the mountain?"
Wang Liu instructed the little monkey, "Go ask Brother Dacheng if he has time to come and identify me."
The little monkey was tall and thin, and he ran and jumped, just like a little monkey. He came down the mountain in a short while, with Hu Xiaocheng behind him.
Niu Eryan waved his hands and shouted excitedly, "Xiaocheng, it's me!"
Hu Xiaocheng ran a few steps quickly, "Uncle Lizheng, uncles and uncles, Brother Eryan."
Niu Hao was also very excited, "Xiaocheng, weren't you and Dacheng sold out?"
Hu Xiaocheng didn't elaborate, "My brother and I were saved by my daughter. My daughter is the boss."
He led Niu Hao and others to the Yiziyuan courtyard where they practiced martial arts to rest for a while.
In the evening, Liu Xiaocao prepared a table full of food, and Niu Dayan, Dacheng and Xiaocheng accompanied Niu Hao and others for dinner.
Niu Dayan is different now, with a more imposing aura. Niu Hao thought to himself, it seems that Niu Dayan is doing well in Qingping Village. "Dayan..."
Niu Hao and Niu Eryan spoke at the same time, but Niu Eryan's voice was louder.
Unable to conceal his excitement, he shouted, "Brother, our whole family is thinking about you, why don't you send us a message?"
Niu Dayan was also very happy to see his brother. "Before, it was because the roads were unsafe, and recently I've been too busy."
Before Niu Eryan could speak, Niu Hao quickly asked, "Big Eyes, do you have a say in Qingping Village? Can you sell us some sweet potatoes?"
"We can't sell the sweet potatoes anymore. We don't dare eat too many now. We have to save them for growing sweet potato seedlings next year. I can help the village save more sweet potato seedlings next year."
"Aren't sweet potato seedlings free to get?"
Niu Hao is not a bad person, but he likes to take advantage of small things.
Niu Dayan said, "It's free to get, but it doesn't mean you can get as much as you want. Sweet potatoes are high-yielding, and everyone wants to grow them. If we could just get them, Qingping Village would have to prepare a lot of sweet potato seedlings."
"Then how much can each village receive?"
"It hasn't been announced yet how many big bosses can get, but it's certain that each village will be limited. Moreover, not all villages will get them."
Niu Er looked at Niu Dayan and felt that his elder brother spoke with great authority. He suddenly said, "Brother, I will come to Qingping Village to work with you!"
The brothers had always had a good relationship, and Niu Dayan was actually looking forward to a family reunion soon. "Next year, the house near the mountain village will be vacant. Then I'll bring mom and you over."
Niu Jun was more shrewd. He asked the naive Hu Dacheng, "Dacheng, what are you doing in Qingping Manor? Are you also the manager?"
"Xiaocheng and I are mainly here to protect the girl's safety."
Dacheng and Xiaocheng did not have fixed jobs in Qingping Village. Kang Yueran would tell them when there was something to do. When they had nothing to do, they would practice martial arts in Yiziyuan. Occasionally, if someone needed their help, they would help.
Niu Jun was overjoyed, "Then you two can see the boss every day?" Who would have thought that Dacheng and Xiaocheng, who had no parents and were sold by their uncle, would be where they are today.
Niu Dayan knew the villagers' intention and said first, "Niu Jun, I know that the villagers are having a hard time, but life in other villages is not easy either.
If Dacheng and I ask the young lady to keep you, then the other stewards will follow suit. Qingping Manor can't accommodate so many people."
Niu Hao and others were very disappointed. Their village was too poor and even though a manager finally appeared, he couldn't help.
Niu Dayan comforted him, "Next year, when we plant sweet potatoes, the villagers will at least have enough to eat. When they have enough to eat, they will have the energy to earn money."
Seeing that Niu Dayan refused so directly, Niu Hao didn't want to force him, so he had to follow Niu Dayan's words and persuade everyone to think more positively.
Niu Hao and others were thinking about sweet potatoes, and Kang Yueran was also sitting in the study writing furiously about sweet potatoes. There were too many sweet potatoes and they were not easy to preserve, so she wanted to make some of them into vermicelli.
Wash the sweet potatoes, cut them into pieces, add water and grind them into sweet potato puree. Wrap the sweet potato puree with gauze and squeeze the sweet potato juice into a large jar.
Add water to the remaining sweet potato residue and stir, then squeeze out the sweet potato juice. After squeezing three times, the residue can be thrown away or fed to pigs.
Let the sweet potato juice stand overnight, and the sweet potato starch will sink to the bottom of the jar. Scoop out the upper layer of water and pour it out, then add clean water and stir. Let it stand for half a day, and then scoop out the upper layer of water.
What is left at the bottom of the jar is edible sweet potato starch, which can be stored for a long time without going bad after being dried.
With sweet potato starch, you can make vermicelli.
You don't need to wait for the sweet potato starch to dry. While it's still wet, add water and knead it into a dough. Just make it a little thinner. Take a large ladle and poke a few holes of the same size in the bottom.
Put the dough into the ladle and let it fall into the hot water through the hole at the bottom. When the vermicelli in the hot water is formed, take it out and rinse it in cold water, then hang it up to dry.
The method of making vermicelli is not difficult, but it is a big project to make hundreds of thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes relying solely on manpower.
Kang Yueran called Xu Jiushi over and showed him the method of making vermicelli that she had written.
