Rebirth of farming for a living

This afternoon, the sky above Jixiang Hutong was filled with a strange and choking fragrance.

Pedestrians passing by didn't know what it smelled like.

While coughing, he stopped uncontrollably.

This is true even for passers-by, let alone the people in the yard.

Li Qiuyan wore a simple mask and was frying hot pot ingredients in a large pot.

This hot pot base is amazing.

Yesterday morning, Li Qiuyan prepared the hot pot base ingredients.

Before he started making it, someone from Du Zhaoyang came over anxiously and sent a message, telling him to wait for a while before cooking the base.

Okay, although Li Qiuyan doesn't know what to wait for.

Still obediently responded.

Once we waited, it was almost noon.

It looks like it will open tomorrow.

Li Qiuyan was restless while arranging for people to grind sesame paste.

Du Zhaoyang was not one to delay things. She was planning to send Du Bajin to take a look.

Du Zhaoyang brought people over.

He was not surprised when he came, but what was surprising was that the carriage contained two large bags of suet.

There was also a large bag containing beef and beef bones.

Li Qiuyan was overjoyed.

The anxiety of waiting disappeared almost instantly and was replaced by full of surprises.

"Where did this thing come from?"

This butter is very thick, one bag weighs more than 100 kilograms.

There were almost three hundred kilograms of butter, and it was still very fat.

Li Qiuyan couldn't move it, so Qingsong and Bajin worked together to put everything in the kitchen.

Du Zhaoyang shook his fan and smiled wildly: "Didn't you say that using butter as the base is the best? Don't worry about where it comes from, the base can start cooking."

Li Qiuyan had the same idea.

Fortunately, the sesame seeds are almost fried, and now we only need to leave one person in the backyard to watch the donkey grind.

The remaining five maids all came over together.

There is strength in numbers. Li Qiuyan has never felt this word so intuitively.

Although she was very surprised by the butter.

But with two big bags full of greasy suet, Li Qiuyan really didn't know how long it would take him to get it.

And these five little cuties have a clear division of labor. You wash and I cut.

By noon, several large basins of butter, washed and cut into small pieces, were ready.

The most exaggerated thing is that Xiangyun also made lunch in her spare time.

This lunch is a casserole.

With all the supplies at home, making a casserole is easy.

Besides, they are all girls. How can any girl not love casserole?

Xiangyun waited on Li Qiuyan and Du Zhaoyang to eat together, while Xianghui watched the pot in the kitchen and arranged for the other sisters to eat first.

After eating, switch to her.

What kind of pot is Xianghui looking at?Of course it's a pot of butter.

Of course, Xiang Hui knew that it was refining oil when it came to cutting a big battle like suet.

I know how to refine oil.

She asked Li Qiuyan for instructions, but even though Li Qiuyan asked her to do it after eating, she didn't respond.

There are so many, don’t worry, when will you get them?

Xianghui plunged into the kitchen.

Why doesn't this make Li Qiuyan feel heartbroken?

"Xiangyun, you can go eat too. You don't have to worry about it here."

Li Qiuyan smiled and waved her hand, letting Xiangyun go down.

And Du Zhaoyang, smelling the aroma of this casserole, also felt his saliva secreting continuously.

The strange-flavor cold noodle shop already served casserole yesterday, and I heard from Li Mu that it was well received.

It can be foreseen how popular it will be when the weather gets colder.

When Du Zhaoyang saw the casserole, he thought of one thing: "By the way, when can you give me the umami powder?"

Du Jinxin asked before he came out today.

Li Qiuyan ate the casserole: "If you are in a hurry, you can take some away later."

Yesterday, Li Qiuyan took people to grind for a day, and packed the ground products into bags of one kilogram, weighing sixty or seventy kilograms.

Today I mainly make sesame paste, and I plan to deliver it to the Du family tomorrow.

Since Du Zhaoyang urged him, let him take it away.

"Okay, I'll take it away first. Father wants to launch a casserole at Yipinxuan soon. Oh, and there are also those chili peppers. Give me some too."

The chili peppers were first weighed to Du Zhaoyang by fifty kilograms. By the way, Li Qiuyan gave Du Zhaoyang the method of pouring oil on the chili peppers.

Du Zhaoyang looked at a bag of red peppers and swallowed: "Can the boiled pork slices I ate at your place last time be sold in Yipinxuan?"

"If we can't do it this year, let's sell this spicy casserole first."

It's not that Li Qiuyan doesn't want to sell.

There was no way, even though there was a lot of chili now, Li Qiuyan still had to take care of the hot pot restaurant first.

Nowadays, there are no stir-fried dishes with chili peppers in circulation outside, and they all appear in the form of oily chili peppers.

Fortunately, according to the feedback these days, people in Fucheng accept the spiciness quite well.

Wait until next year to plant all the peppers that can be grown, and there will be no shortage.

Li Qiuyan sold peppers to Du Zhaoyang for [-] cents per catty, which worked out to only five taels of silver for fifty catties.

Hey, Li Qiuyan felt a little heartbroken when he held a small ingot of silver.

No matter how much you sell agricultural products, you still can’t make money by doing business.

Heartache is heartbreaking. What Li Qiuyan wants to do is long-term business, and now he mainly promotes chili peppers.

Moreover, Du Zhaoyang knew full well that the chili he had given him for the strange-flavored cold noodles was at this price.

In addition, she knew that peppers would be available in large quantities next year, so she didn't feel good about selling them at a high price.

Furthermore, five taels of silver can buy an acre of land, and you can grow as many peppers as you want on an acre of land.

It's much better than selling anything else.

Li Qiuyan just persuaded himself.

However, Du Zhaoyang didn't leave either.
