The Little Lucky Girl.

Chapter 25: Paying Monthly Wages to Working Villagers

The day after signing the cooperation agreement, Su Qing gave the prepared seasoning to the shopkeeper, "Uncle shopkeeper, this is a month's supply. I'll deliver it to you once a month!"

After giving the instructions, I went back!

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and it's time to pay the wages! The wasteland has been cleared, and now it's time to start cultivating mulberry seedlings!

Su Qing prepared the money and will pay it out after work is finished in the afternoon!

Su Qing went to see how the dragon fruit in the greenhouse was growing. With the water from the spiritual spring, the dragon fruit was growing very fast and had already produced fruits!

Su Qing cleared half of the chrysanthemums next to it and planted some sweet potatoes and potatoes! By the time she finished all this, it was already the end of the afternoon. Su Qing packed up and asked Su Zhiyuan to call someone to collect the money!

First, the monthly allowance for building the house was distributed. The two uncles received ten taels of silver each, and the others received nine hundred coins. Everyone was very happy after receiving the money!

Next came the land reclamation. Except for the village chief, who received 1,500 wen (one tael of silver and five hundred wen), the others received 900 wen each! The villagers were thrilled! Everyone's family's food could finally be improved!

They all expressed their willingness to work harder!

When the two uncles of the Xiao family returned home and handed the silver to Grandma Xiao, her voice trembled with excitement as she said, "We are blessed by our good granddaughters!"

"Yes, my sweet granddaughter is a lucky star!"

"Big brother, second brother, each of you take two taels of silver and save it!" It will be convenient for you to buy things by yourself!

When the village chief returned home with 1500 wen coins and handed them to his grandmother, the old lady counted them several times. "Old man, pinch me and see if I'm dreaming!"

The village chief grandfather patted the village chief grandmother and said, "Hurry up and cook!"

The village chief’s two sons, Uncle Dahu and Second Uncle, also received 900 Wen each!

The day after the monthly salary was distributed, mulberry seedlings were cultivated on the reclaimed wasteland!

The night before, Su Qing had moved out the half-man-high mulberry saplings, leaving enough space for planting! He watered the roots with spiritual spring water to prevent them from drying out!

Why are there mulberry trees in Su Qing's space? Because in her previous life, she loved eating mulberries. During this period of time, she has been cutting down mulberry trees in the space, cultivating them in the space, and watering them with spiritual spring water every day, so the mulberry seedlings have grown to half a person's height!

The villagers who were reclaiming the wasteland pushed the mulberry saplings to the foot of the mountain on a cart. After all the mulberry saplings were transported to the foot of the mountain, they began to dig holes, plant the saplings, and water them! Su Qing took advantage of everyone's inattention and watered them with spiritual spring water!

This went on for a few days until the mulberry trees were finally planted! Su Qing calculated the remaining wages and distributed them with Su Zhiyuan! The villagers were very happy to receive the money, hoping to have a good Chinese New Year this year!

The shop needed to be renovated next. It was done by Xiao's aunt's brother from her mother's family. Su Qing gave the decoration drawings to Xiao's aunt's brother and gave him one hundred taels of silver. If it wasn't enough, she could ask her for more!

After making the arrangements, Su Qing and Su Zhiyuan went to Yunkelai Restaurant to find the owner. When they arrived at the restaurant, the owner Wang said with a smile, "Little Lucky Star, thanks to your recipes, our restaurant business is better now! Here is your share of the silver, a total of thirty taels!" Then he handed the silver to Su Qing!

"Uncle Shopkeeper, I'll teach you another recipe this month!"

Then he went to the kitchen and started teaching the chef how to cook!

Prepare the pumpkin: Choose an old pumpkin, peel it, and cut it into strips about 1 cm thick. Try to cut it a little larger to prevent it from breaking during frying. Place the pumpkin strips in a bowl and set aside.

Prepare the salted duck egg yolk: Take out the salted duck egg yolk and crush it into powder with a rolling pin.

Blanching: Add water to a pot and bring to a boil. Pour in the pumpkin strips and blanch for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Do not overcook them. Remove from the heat and immediately rinse in cold water. Then place on a strainer to drain the water.

Coating: Evenly coat the drained pumpkin strips with corn starch, making sure each strip is coated with corn starch.

Frying: Add oil to the pan. When the oil temperature reaches 70% hot, pour in the pumpkin strips coated with starch. Use chopsticks to separate the sticky pumpkin strips. Fry for about one minute until golden brown, then remove from the pan and control the oil.

Stir-frying: Leave some oil in the pan, add the mashed salted duck egg yolk, stir-fry over low heat until foam appears, then add the fried pumpkin strips, stir-fry quickly a few times to evenly coat the pumpkin strips with the salted egg yolk, then remove from the pan and serve.
