Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

After thinking about it carefully, Village Chief Wan understood that this was to help their village.

He said happily: "Ren Yi, thank you for taking care of the villagers. I will tell them the good news next year, and they will definitely grow the crops well. When your pig farm opens, our village will also benefit from it. There are also pig farms in other places, most of which are raised on the farms of some wealthy businessmen.

They have a lot of land, so they have a lot of pig grass. Ordinary people don't have that much pig grass to feed pigs, so they can only raise a small number. If growing sweet potatoes can raise pigs, it will be profitable. Maybe more people in the village will raise pigs, and they can earn more at the end of the year. As for the soybeans, what are you going to do with them?"

Since Liu's father wanted to make pig feed, he certainly couldn't say so much. For selfish reasons, he had to keep some things to himself and not let it all out.

"We have a shop in the county town. As you know, we will make some braised tofu to sell. The price will be higher than selling tofu alone."

Village Chief Wan nodded. So that's how it is.

"Okay, soybeans are easy. Let them plant whatever can be grown in the fields and in the corners. As for the contract, let's sign it. It will also guarantee both parties that the soybeans and sweet potatoes grown in our village cannot be sold to others unless the price you offer is the same."

"That's definitely not possible. We'll have agreed on the price in advance. Even if someone offers a high price, you can only sell this year's products to me. As for the future ones, you can cooperate with the vendors who offer the high price. Otherwise, it will be too unfair to me."

"Okay, let's set the price a little cheaper than in the city in previous years. We really can't let you suffer a loss."

Village Chief Wan was thinking that sweet potatoes and soybeans could be sold, but how about selling sweet potato vines?

Just asked directly

“How do you calculate the price of sweet potato vines?”

"I'm going to ask the village chief to make a decision on this. I'll give you a price for your reference!"

"Okay, Renyi, what do you say?"

"One penny for five pounds!"

Village Chief Wan nodded. The price was acceptable. After all, that thing was not worth much.

"Okay, I'll tell the villagers the price, and then I'll ask those who are willing to participate to register and sign."

"Then I'll trouble the village chief."

Father Liu and the village chief chatted while eating and had a very pleasant conversation.

The others also enjoyed the meal very much. After all, the food on the table was still very sumptuous even now, and it was not something that could be eaten on ordinary days even in modern times.

Liu Xianxue and Sun Yaqing taught Mrs. Tan how to make several special dishes, one of which was lotus root.

People at that time were very curious. Liu Xianxue thought that if she had eggplants, she could make an eggplant box.

Topped with a special sauce, it's sure to be a hit.

Lotus root box, a traditional famous dish with good color, aroma and taste, is loved by people for its crispy taste and rich nutrition.

However, its preparation is not complicated, and the ingredients required are relatively simple. It only requires fresh lotus root, minced meat, flour and appropriate amount of seasoning.

It sounds simple, but if you want to fry it deliciously, it still depends on the skills of the chef.

First, choose fresh lotus root, wash and peel it, and cut it into slices about 0.5 cm thick. Then, mix flour and water in a certain proportion and stir into a batter.

This is used to wrap the lotus root slices, which not only protects the lotus root slices, but also makes the fried lotus root boxes more crispy.

Next, add appropriate seasonings such as salt, soy sauce, chopped green onion and ginger to the minced meat and mix well. Sandwich the minced meat between two pieces of lotus root, making sure that the minced meat is not exposed.

Then, roll the lotus root box with meat filling in the batter so that its surface is evenly coated with a layer of batter.

The last step is frying.

Pour the oil into the pot and heat it to 60% to 70% hot, then put the wrapped lotus root boxes in. Fry until the surface is golden and crispy, then remove from the oil.

When frying lotus root cakes, pay attention to the heat, not too big or too small, so as not to burn or undercook. The fried lotus root cakes are golden and crispy on the outside, and the meat filling is tender and juicy inside, with a wonderful taste.

If you want to make the lotus root box delicious, there is another very important step in modern times, which is re-frying. Put the fried lotus root box aside to dry for a while, and then put it into the boiling oil pan for the second frying. In this way, the fried box will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste will be better.

The fried lotus root boxes can be eaten directly, or they can be eaten with some sauces or vegetables to make them more delicious.

Moreover, the lotus root box is not only delicious, but also has certain nutritional value.

Lotus root is rich in vitamins and minerals, while the meat filling provides high-quality protein and fat, which can meet the various nutrients needed by the human body.

The menu prepared by Liu Xianxue includes some fried dishes, among which lotus root boxes are the first specialty she introduced.

This time we made it so that everyone can give it a try, and as you can imagine, the result was well received.

A big dish is a chicken pot with pork in the lotus root box. Originally, there was also a beef dish, but beef is rare and usually not available.

Liu Xianxue asked someone to go to the dock and buy a few grass carps. She made a dish of sauerkraut fish, which was also loved by everyone.

Vegetarian dishes are simple, such as stir-fried cabbage, fried leek and eggs, and stir-fried shredded radish. These are dishes that ordinary people can make. It is enough to have those few special dishes. Vegetarian dishes will be developed slowly in the future. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

Liu's father also said that he would try to build a greenhouse at the beginning of the year. As long as rare vegetables can be grown, they will sell well no matter how they are cooked.

Pair it with radish and pear bone soup, and a three-fresh tofu soup, thickened with sweet potato starch. Drink a bowl of it and your stomach will warm up immediately.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone saw off the village chief and other guests and returned to the main hall together.

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. We have to get busy too. We have to put up Spring Festival couplets and the Chinese character for "Fu". Lao Luo, the task of writing Spring Festival couplets and the Chinese character for "Fu" is now up to you. As for cutting window decorations, if you know how, please volunteer. If you really don't know how, go to the village or the market and buy some. We have everything our family needs."

"Dad, I'll go to the store to tidy up tomorrow. There's a temple fair on the first day of the first lunar month here, so all the shops on the street are closed. We'll also be closed for two days and open again on the third day."

"I'll go with you tomorrow, and we'll check out the other shop and design whatever else we need. Let the village carpenter do it for us when he's free. Anyway, we have time, and it should be much cheaper to buy in the village, and it's also to take care of the villagers' business."

"Okay, come back early tomorrow. We'll make dumplings and have a New Year's Eve dinner in the evening. Although dumplings are not popular in the south, we have people from all over the world. We all follow our own customs and cook whatever we want to eat."

"Yes, let's cook together and have some fun together. I don't know if there will be fireworks or anything like that at this time. Let's set off the fireworks when we stay up all night tonight."

"The fireworks should be ready. Buy some more when the time comes."

"OK……"

"Great……"

Adults and children alike were very happy and imagined the New Year scene next year.
