Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 119

Jiang Xiaomi: "...Mom...I can hear you are laughing at me! Even though I failed every year, soilless cultivation is my major, and I really know how to grow bean sprouts! Humph! If you were serious when you were secretly learning, you would have found that my seven plates of bean sprouts were placed in different corners of the room. That's because I was studying the most suitable humidity and temperature for soybeans in ancient times. From now on, the temperature and humidity of that room will be based on this. You don't understand!"

"Okay, okay, I don't understand. Mom is wrong, okay!"

Jiang Xiaomi was unhappy: "It's wrong, it's wrong. What do you mean by 'it's okay if I'm wrong'? You are insulting my profession!"

Jiang Suying: “…”

After Jiang Xiaomi finished her talk, she didn't dare to say anything more. She turned around and went back to the shed. She found the basin covered with a thick towel from every corner - it was hidden so well that no one else in the Jiang family knew about it except the cleaning maid and Jiang Suying.

"Let me show you the great power of scientific breeding and soilless cultivation!"

Jiang Xiaomi lifted the thick towels one by one. Although today was the third day, she had already checked in the morning that the bean sprouts were growing very well and could be on the table in two days. The one that grew the best was naturally the one that was neither too far nor too close to the kang.

"What is this?" Old Lady Yang looked closer and felt that it looked familiar, but she was not sure: "Why do these two leaves look so much like soybeans?"

"It's soybeans! The sprouts from soybeans! Isn't it amazing what I grew?" Jiang Xiaomi looked like she was asking for praise.

"Great, great!" Old Mrs. Yang praised with a smile. In her eyes, her Xiaomi, who can do nothing, is the best. "Huh? Why is it still yellow? The soybeans should have green buds when they grow out? Oh, Mi, we planted them too densely. The soybeans can't grow!"

Jiangjia Village also grows soybeans. When the Jiang family was poor, they basically sold all the grain they grew, and they had to cook bean rice for a long time, so she knew that the soybeans would sprout. This is not the case!

"It's okay. We're not growing beans, so we're not afraid of that. I'm growing bean sprouts. Bean sprouts are a kind of vegetable. They can be fried or boiled. They're delicious!" Jiang Xiaomi picked a thick one and handed it to Old Lady Yang: "Try it. You can eat it raw, too."

"Mm, crispy, with a little bean smell, much better than soybeans!"

Jiang Xiaomi nodded: "Soybeans have a stronger bean smell. I'll send you some mung beans tomorrow. They have almost no bean smell."

“Can green beans also make hair grow?”

"Of course! Peanuts can also be sprouted, and this one is more delicious! Thick!" Jiang Xiaomi said. She really likes eating peanut sprouts!

"Hmm?" Old Lady Yang was puzzled. "Peanuts? What are peanuts? Is it a specialty of the capital?"

Jiang Xiaomi was stunned for a moment and asked, "We don't have peanuts here?"

"No." Old Lady Yang shook her head: "Grandma has never heard of this."

"Oh~" Jiang Xiaomi suddenly realized that the peanut species should not have been introduced yet, but it doesn't matter, she can bring this species into this era!

Speaking of peanuts, she missed dishes cooked with peanut oil! After getting used to eating peanut oil, dishes cooked with other oils always felt a little off.

In this era, there was not only no peanut oil but also no soybean oil. Everyone ate animal oil, and most of it was lard.

It’s not that lard doesn’t taste good, it’s just that the pigs in ancient times were not castrated. If you taste it carefully, you will find an indescribable flavor.
