Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Life always passes quickly amidst all the fun and play. The vegetables planted by Xiao Yunxi have gradually matured.

The five mu of land at home was taken care of by Li Kui and two farmhands. The three of them plus Xiao Yunxi's family of five were still a little undercrowded.

The children who helped could be ignored, but soon the team collecting vegetables continued to expand.

The villagers who had not gone to work came one after another to help Xiao Yunxi. It was true that there was strength in numbers. The vegetables on 2.7 mu of land were harvested in half a day.

Some of the vegetables were put into the cellar and could be eaten for the whole winter, so that other vegetables could be replenished in the spring of the following year. Xiao Yunxi prepared to pickle the rest of the vegetables into kimchi and sauerkraut.

The aunts were washing vegetables, preparing jars,

The villagers crowded in the yard and learned how to make kimchi and spicy cabbage from Xiao Yunxi.

Kimchi is actually quite simple.

Boil the brine, let it cool, then put radish, cabbage, carrots, and chili peppers in it, add some of the previous kimchi water as a starter to speed up the fermentation, and finally add a drop of white wine.

Cover the jar, pour water into the jar mouth to seal it, and you can eat it after a few days.

Spicy cabbage requires more seasonings.

Coarse chili powder, fine chili powder, sugar, salt, minced garlic, glutinous rice flour, apples, pears, leeks, white radish, etc. are mixed into a marinade, spread on each cabbage leaf, and placed in a sealed jar.

Kimchi tastes better when it is fermented for two days, but it can also be eaten pickled. The kimchi fried with meat and kimchi stewed with tofu made in the evening were highly praised by the villagers.

Over the next two days, the village was swept by a craze for pickled kimchi. Xiao Yunxi was promoted to technical instructor and taught them how to make it.

In this bustling atmosphere, Xiao Yunxi's new home was completed.

On the day of moving into the new house, a big feast was held.

Zhou Shiya, Wu Qianqian, Zhang Zhongjin, Zheng Tianming, and Miao Cuihua came in person to congratulate and present housewarming gifts.

"Huh? The kimchi is delicious."

"And this dish, it's sour and very appetizing."

Pickled radish paired with fermented tomato juice and thin slices of beef is a great appetizer, beef in sour soup.

A portion of hot and sour beef warms your heart and stomach and can definitely become a staple dish in winter.

However, this dish requires pickled radish and fermented tomato juice. If vinegar is used instead, the taste will be much worse.

The villagers have been making a lot of pickles lately, which are fermented tomato juice. Xiao Yunxi hasn't made much either, as they are all made from the tomatoes that were not sold in the previous batch.

"It doesn't matter. Give me as many as you can. We'll limit the quantity and use the hunger marketing you mentioned."

Xiao Yunxi kept a few portions of tomato juice and gave the rest to Zheng Tianming.

of course,

You have to pay for it.

The restaurant is their joint venture. The recipes are provided free of charge. If you get the raw materials from her, you will definitely have to spend money. This still needs to be calculated clearly. As for the kimchi,

Xiao Yunxi kept it for herself, and Zheng Tianming could buy it from the villagers. A small jar cost 500 coins, and a larger one cost 3 taels.

When radishes are on the market, every household’s cellar is full of them and cabbages. They can be sold at such a high price that the villagers rush to sell them.

The villagers all knew that Zheng Tianming offered a high price because of Xiao Yunxi, and they felt more and more grateful to Xiao Yunxi. Without Xiao Yunxi, they would not be able to live such a good life.

Zheng Tianming was busy harvesting kimchi and pickled radishes, while Wu Qianqian and Zhou Shiya urged Xiao Yunxi to go to the provincial capital to open a store.

It's ridiculous to say this.

Wu Qianqian's classmates did not go back, so they sent the soap back to the capital as gifts and gave them to relatives and friends. The soap quickly became popular among the ladies' circle.

In ancient times, the timeliness of information acquisition was very poor. They did not know that the soap came from Fuqi Pavilion. Under the hype of some people, the soap was sold at a high price of 20 taels per piece. If you want to collect all 6 scents, you need 150 taels.

At such a price, people are rushing to buy it.

According to incomplete estimates, in a short period of time, the capital city sold more than 1 bars of soap through unscrupulous merchants, with direct profits exceeding 20 taels!

When Wu Qianqian's classmates returned to the capital, the ladies realized that the soap was a product of Fuqi Pavilion and that a piece was only 5 taels. Everyone started cursing.

However, the middleman was from the Zhang family. Although he was a side branch, he was not someone to be messed with easily. However, this made the nobles in the city quite dissatisfied with the Zhang family.

They didn't care about money, but they cared that the Zhang family treated them like fools, which also planted the seeds of disaster for the Zhang family.

...

Fucheng,

Zhang family,

Since the Zhang family's housekeeper was imprisoned, the Zhang family has remained silent on the surface, but they have actually been paying attention to Tangjia Village and the Tofu Workshop.

Before they could get the tofu recipe, the soap suddenly appeared, and the Zhang family became even more greedy. They were eager to make money, so they thought of a way to make a profit from the price difference.

As for offending people, they don't care. As long as they can raise enough money to help that person get the throne, the Zhang family will be the original shareholder, and that would be a real rise to prominence!

However, the Zhang family master still wanted the formula of soap and tofu, because the profit behind it was too scary.

He just acts as a middleman and earns 20 taels in just a few days. If he has the formula and sells the soap all over Daxia, he will be the richest man in Daxia!

"Tell them to speed up and get the formula as soon as possible."

Dongshan Town,

At the Zhang family's place of residence, burly men were holding down a young man with a bruised face and nose.

"When will the money owed be paid?"

"Give me a little more time."

"That's 200 taels, not 2 taels."

The young man who was beaten held his head high.

"I said give me some time."

"Hey, he's quite tough. Give him some more skin."

After the beatings and kicks,

"Tang Jiu lost both his parents when he was young and grew up with his grandfather. After his grandfather passed away, only his younger sister was left at home."

"I take responsibility for my own actions. If you dare to touch my sister, I will kill you!"

"hehe."

The Zhang family is obviously not afraid of being threatened.

"Now there is a way that you don't have to pay back the money, and after the matter is completed, I can give you another 200 taels."

Tang Jiu was very alert:

"what's up?"

"Get the soap formula. I know you work in a soap workshop. Write down what raw materials are needed and how to make the fragrance."

"impossible!"

Tang Jiu refused without hesitation.

"Then I'd better go talk to your sister."
