Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

With red eyes, the two men carried a bucket of a mixture of mud and saltpeter and walked to the front yard. Seeing their tearful eyes, Sanni and Hui Niang were shocked and thought they were fighting again, but they didn't look like that.

Little did they know that the two men's eyes were irritated by the smell of the toilet.

Putting the bucket down, Duan Minmin went into the kitchen and brought out a basin of water, then asked Xu Hui Niang to find her two more buckets.

Duan Minmin scooped up a few handfuls of mud and put them into an empty bucket, then poured water into it, directing everyone: "Sanni, go find a stick to stir it, and make sure to stir all the white stuff into a paste."

"Hui Niang, go find the gauze you use to filter tofu, and then light the fire in the kitchen.

Yuanbao, go and empty two basins, boil one pot first and see the effect."

After a series of arrangements, although Sanni and Hui Niang didn't know what she was going to do, seeing that their mother was obedient, they also did as she said.

Xu Hui Niang handed the filter cloth to Duan Minmin, who held the cloth and gestured on another empty bucket, then stretched it out to filter. Seeing that she was going to use the cloth, Zheng Yuan thought that she would also need the gauze to make ice jelly, so he quickly took out a kitchen knife and cut a piece of it.

At this time, Sanni had almost finished mixing the first bucket: "Auntie, take a look, is this okay?"

Duan Minmin saw that there were no more white particles in the bucket and nodded, "Okay, you pull the cloth. Yuanbao, come quickly, let's lift it up and pour it."

Zheng Yuan put down the empty basin and ran over. Together with Duan Minmin, he carried the bucket and filtered the dissolved water into another empty bucket.

After pouring it, Duan Minmin told Sanni to continue adding mud and stirring it, and the two of them carried the buckets and walked towards the kitchen.

"Yuanbao, this is the condition. You can use your pot first, and then you can go to my house to bring a pot to use. When I make money, I will buy you an iron pot."

Neither family had an extra pot, so they had no choice but to sacrifice Zheng Yuan's family's pot.

Xu Hui Niang had already started the fire, and had scooped out the pig feed from the pot and put it in the pig feed bucket, which was now boiling with a little water. The two poured the water from the bucket into the pot, and told Xu Hui Niang to bring more firewood, boil it over high heat, and call them when white particles appeared.

Several people were busy in the yard.

About half an hour later, Xu Hui's mother ran out and shouted: "Mom, Aunt Duan, something white appeared." The two of them hurriedly dropped their buckets and ran inside.

Sure enough, a circle of white particles had appeared on the edge of the pot.

She hurriedly asked Xu Hui Niang to turn off the fire, and Duan Minmin picked up a stick and started stirring the pot with the remaining fire. After a while, the water completely evaporated, leaving only a thin layer of white substance in the pot.

Looking at these little things, the two hugged each other excitedly.

"It worked! It worked!"

"Yes, yes, Armin, you are a genius!"

Zheng Yuan flattered her generously, and Duan Minmin waved her hands arrogantly: "Thank you, thank you, it's all my fault for being too serious when I was studying."

After being happy, the two of them took a broken bowl and carefully scraped together the contents of the pot, then scooped them out and put them in a prepared cloth bag.

Then they poured the dissolved water into the pot and asked Hui Niang to add more fire. After successfully seeing the saltpeter, the two of them were full of energy. They repeated this process several times and finally dissolved and extracted all the saltpeter.

Looking at the more than one pound of saltpeter in the cloth bag, the two men seemed to see the God of Wealth waving at them.

The sun is setting, and it's time to make dinner.

"Amin, go and bring your pot over here, we'll make braised pork. Sanni, come over and give a hand. Hui Niang, let's bring this pot down." We had just bought some brown sugar, which was enough to make the braised pork.

When she heard about eating braised pork, Duan Minmin jumped three feet high with excitement and ran home pulling Sanni.

Although Sanni and Hui Niang didn't know how braised pork was cooked, they were very excited when they heard that it involved meat.

The pot was still very hot after boiling something. Zheng Yuanhe and Xu Hui Niang found a towel and carefully lifted the pot to the side.

"By the way, Hui Niang, the pot and the barrel that once held saltpeter in our house can no longer be used to hold food. Saltpeter is poisonous. You'd better keep them well. These are specially used to make saltpeter." Zheng Yuan reminded.

Xu Hui Niang nodded obediently.

Zheng Yuan thought about it, turned into the house and got out the white rice. Since he was going to eat braised pork anyway, he might as well splurge and order some white rice as well.

After a while, Duan Minmin and Sanni came in carrying a pot.

Put it on the stove, it is just the right size. Zheng Yuan also took some mud from the bucket where saltpeter was just dissolved and pasted it on the joint between the stove and the pot to prevent the flames from escaping.

Zheng Yuan handed the rice bag to Hui Niang: "Hui Niang, take out the steamer. We will eat white rice today."

Xu Hui Niang was so scared that she didn't dare to answer. She had been eating well enough these past few days, but today she wanted to eat meat and white rice at the same time. Wasn't this an acceptable life?

"Mom, it's still early for the autumn harvest, let's eat sparingly." Although she was afraid that she would be angry, Xu Hui Niang still advised her.

Zheng Yuan knew what she was worried about, but he was not angry. He just comforted her, "We haven't had a good meal in a long time. This is the only meal that won't break the bank. When mom makes money in the future, we can eat meat and white rice every day."

Seeing that she was determined to eat, Xu Hui Niang did not dare to persuade her too much, and took the bag with a painful heart and began to wash the rice. Ten people eat white rice, at least four pounds of rice must be cooked, and the bag was deflated when the rice was scooped out.

Zheng Yuan took out the meat and buns he bought in the morning. Although pork belly is the best for making braised pork, it is too expensive. A combination of one fat and one lean is almost the same.

After taking the meat to the stove, he roasted the pig skin to remove the fishy smell. After roasting the pork, he put it in a basin and soaked it. He found a piece of ginger and a head of garlic from the corner and handed them to Duan Minmin, asking her to prepare the ingredients.

At this time, Sanni came back from the backyard with a bucket after feeding the pigs and chickens. Seeing that everyone was busy, she asked Zheng Yuan: "Mom, what can I do?"

"Go to the backyard and pull back half a basin of beans for me. Then pick two cabbages and wash them."

Sanni got the job and ran happily to the backyard.

Dashu and Erhe, who had worked in the fields, were now carrying their hoes and walking home. They could sense a faint sweet and greasy aroma of meat in the air.

Tsk, which family can afford to eat meat? It must be the village chief's family or Uncle Chen's family, or it could be Grandpa Sun's family. The two of them were guessing as they walked home, but they felt that the smell was getting more and more fragrant. Why did they feel that the smell of meat was coming from their own home?

Walking into the courtyard, it smelled even better. No, this was the scent coming from my home.

The two men dropped their hoes and ran to the kitchen. Zheng Yuan was flipping the braised pork when two children rushed in and scared her.

The aroma in the kitchen became stronger. Looking at the braised pork bubbling in the pot, the two children could hardly hold back their saliva.

Seeing them like that, Zheng Yuan urged them, "Go wash your hands quickly. Oh, Dashu, go call Sizhu back. Erhe, go call your sister Tao'er and the others to come over for dinner. We'll have dinner right away."

The two children received the order and ran outside quickly, fearing that if they ran too slowly, they would miss the smell of meat.

When the children came back, the food was ready and on the table. The three sisters Taoer were also surprised when they saw the bowl full of braised pork, big buns, and white rice. What kind of conditions are these? Aunt Zheng is too generous.

Soon, the only sound that could be heard on the table was the clinking of bowls and chopsticks. Although the girls cared about their image, they were defeated by the braised pork and ate the braised pork with their bowls. The braised pork was the first to be eaten. Each child in the family had a bun, and the beans and cabbage were also eaten up.

“This is too delicious!”

"Yes, Aunt Zheng is a great cook."

"Mom, can I still eat braised pork in the future?" Sizhu licked his greasy lips and looked at Zheng Yuan expectantly.

Zheng Yuan poked his head and said, "Of course you can. As long as Sizhu is obedient, I will not only make braised pork for you, but also spicy hot pot, hot pot, and grilled cold noodles for you."

Although they didn't know what she was talking about, the children were looking forward to it. Maybe it was because they had eaten too well in the past few days, so they always thought that the things their mother was talking about must be delicious.
