That evening, Wei Yuyan couldn't wait to stir-fry a plate of lotus root slices.
Xiao Lei and Qian Qian didn't really like it, maybe they weren't used to the taste, so Wei Yu Yan ate most of it by herself.
Wei Yuyan discovered that the lotus root Xiao Pang brought had roots, so she cut off the roots and put it in the mud to grow, hoping it would be successful.
Ten days later, Wei Yuyan asked Li Cai to find three people to help harvest rice, and she paid them ten coins a day.
Meals are not included; all they need to do is have the three of them finish harvesting and transporting the crops to Wei Yuyan's house in one day.
By mid-afternoon, the harvesting was complete, and Sister-in-law Xiuhua arrived as promised to help with the shelling.
"Sister-in-law, I think the yield of this season's rice is even higher than that of the first half of the year."
Before, I thought my rice was just lucky, but now I see yours is the same.”
Xiuhua's sister-in-law reacted as if she had discovered some big news, jumping up and down in surprise.
"Yes, your eyesight is very accurate; the yield of late rice is indeed a little higher."
Wei Yuyan greatly admired Xiuhua's eyesight.
"Next year, my family will plant two crops on all three mu of land. If we can't finish eating them, we can sell some."
By the way, sister-in-law, quite a few people have asked me about this two-season method. Do you think I should teach it to them?
Xiuhua thought that since her younger sister-in-law had taught her this method, she should get her younger sister-in-law's permission before she could teach it to others.
"Didn't you say that Brother Lifu's cousin is about to be elected as the village chief?"
Give him this method, and that's his bargaining chip to become the village chief.
This way, we can relax too.
Wei Yuyan didn't want to deal with these people's questions every few days.
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law. My family doesn't know this method yet. I'll teach it to them during the New Year."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua also hopes that her family will get better day by day.
"By the way, don't easily teach people how to compost, otherwise we won't be able to find fertilizer in the future."
Wei Yuyan thought that if everyone in the village composted their own manure, it would be difficult to find cow dung and chicken manure in the future.
"Okay, I understand."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua nodded, indicating that she understood.
The two of them worked hard to shed their shells, and the children would help when they came home from school.
After three or four days of work, with the help of my two older brothers and sisters-in-law, the shelling was finally completed.
Wei Yuyan also asked Li Fu to take 200 jin of rice to exchange for 200 jin of flour.
If you put it in a steamed bun shop to make steamed buns, it will last for at least a month, which will save you a lot of money.
"Sister-in-law, if that's the case, my family can earn several taels of silver next year just by selling rice."
Xiuhua's family also consists of three people, but they own three mu of land, one mu more than Wei Yuyan's family.
"Yes, next year we can stay at home and eat ready-made meals without any problem."
Wei Yuyan nodded; she could have just lay down anyway.
It's because the Wu family didn't have a good house, and by the time they built one, they had no money left.
"That's fine, we're not even thirty yet, how could we not work?"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua is full of expectations for the future and hopes to get pregnant with her own child soon.
"That's right, but I've basically worked my way up to thirty, so I definitely need to take a break."
Wei Yuyan thought that once she turned thirty, she could travel around the world and have fun.
"……………".
Sister-in-law Xiuhua opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but didn't say anything.
"Let's go, I'll go see my new house too."
After locking the door, Wei Yuyan went out with her sister-in-law Xiuhua to see their new house.
"Not bad, they're pretty fast."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law watches it almost every day, keeping an eye on things.
Wei Yuyan walked over the wall and saw that, sure enough, ten people working was quite fast.
The first floor is already half finished, so it should be completed by early December.
"Hey girl, look at this wall, isn't it straight? Straight and sturdy."
Every time Master Huang saw Wei Yuyan, he would praise his work.
"Hmm, it's alright. By the way, aren't you worried about people stealing these bricks if we leave them here?"
Wei Yuyan pointed to the bricks on the ground.
"Yes, I've already had a gate made. We'll lock it then, otherwise it'll be even less safe if it gets damaged later."
Master Huang's workload includes the main door and windows.
"Okay."
Wei Yuyan nodded, as long as there were no problems.
The next day~~
"Sister-in-law, here's some fried pork cracklings for you."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua brought back some pork cracklings from town, and now we're using more oil to fry meat patties.
Basically, they had to render lard several times a month to have enough, and the leftover cracklings were divided equally among the three households each time.
"Oh dear, I'm so tired of eating this, Sister-in-law Xiuhua."
Wei Yuyan pursed her lips, her face showing worry. She used to mix the fried pork cracklings with white sugar and have Xiao Lei and Qian Qian bring them to their classmates to eat.
I'm so tired of eating this that I don't want to eat it anymore, but it would be a waste to throw it away, since it's at least a meat dish.
"Oh, sister-in-law, don't waste it. I chopped it up and stir-fried it with chili peppers to make pancakes last time, and it was delicious."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law put a large bowl of pork cracklings on the table, then quickly ran away.
"How about we try making steamed buns?"
Inspired by Sister-in-law Xiuhua, Wei Yuyan decided to stop cooking it separately.
First, knead one pound of white flour and let it ferment. Wash and chop the cabbage, sprinkle with a little salt and marinate for a while, then squeeze out the water.
Mince the pork cracklings and finely chop the scallions and ginger. Place the cabbage, pork cracklings, chopped scallions and ginger in a bowl, add salt, soy sauce, and a little lard, and mix well.
Fifteen minutes later, the fragrant fried pork crackling buns were ready.
Wei Yuyan made a total of thirty fried pork crackling buns, intending to send eight to Sister Xiuhua's family, twelve to Sister Zhang's family, and ten to her own family.
"Sister Zhang, here you go, fried pork crackling buns. Try them and see how they taste. If they're good, we'll sell fried pork crackling buns next time."
Wei Yuyan gave it to Zhang Dasao first, since it was closer to her.
"Wow, so many! Fried pork crackling buns?"
Aunt Zhang was completely bewildered. Could fried pork crackling buns really taste good?
"Hmm, give it a try."
Wei Yuyan thought it would be a waste not to make steamed buns, so maybe she could sell them.
"good".
Sister-in-law Zhang smiled and nodded, watching Wei Yuyan leave.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, try this, it's a new product from the steamed bun shop."
Wei Yuyan kept everyone in suspense.
"What? A new product? I didn't hear that you were researching new products."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law is preparing to cook.
"Try it and you'll see."
Seeing that the children would be leaving school a while later, Wei Yuyan sat down to chat with Sister-in-law Xiuhua.
"Let me try it. Hmm, this is cabbage with pork cracklings?"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua never expected that the buns would be filled with pork cracklings.
"Hmm, I thought it was a waste to use the pork cracklings, so why don't we try selling them as steamed buns? Sell them cheaply, one coin each."
Wei Yuyan thought that since the oil residue was a waste product, selling it cheaply should make it a bestseller.
"Sure, I think it's pretty good. At one cent each, they'll probably be snapped up."
