The Blessed Princess
Chapter 101 Shiitake Mushroom Sauce
The store sells raw sweet potatoes directly, rather than roasted as before, and is disproportionately sized like the previous roasted sweet potatoes. So the way to sell it is different, it is no longer sold per catty, and it costs three cents per catty.
Counting, raw yam is cheaper than burnt yam, and the price is close to the community, and ordinary people can afford it.
The price of rice is relatively high, one bucket of 100 Wen, much higher than the price of rice sold at other rice stores in this district for 60 Wen per bucket.
But the man at the store explained that their rice was different, more fragrant and chewy than regular rice.
Ordinary people will not buy this type of rice, they just want to be full and pursue the cost of performance, not taste.
The different sales strategies were formulated by Wei Ruo, the sweet potato was mainly for ordinary people, and the price was low so everyone could afford it. If you meet someone who looks pale and thin and has not eaten for a long time, the store will give some freebies to the other party.
Rice sales targets are high-ranking officials who pursue quality of life. Firstly, the rice he bought from Huzhou Prefecture was indeed of this quality, worth the price. Secondly, the purchase cost and transportation cost of such rice is also high Considering that, the price naturally increases.
As for the mushroom sauce, Wei Ruo made it himself.
He and Xiumei boiled a large pot together in Yingzhuyuan's small kitchen, then filled twenty pots into a small clay pot.
Since the first batch was not large, Wei Ruo did not plan to sell it in the store, but ate it for himself and gave it to others.
When Wei Ruo went to Xie's house for class the next day, Wei Ruo gave Mr. Wang two cans, and then gave Xie Ying two cans of mushroom sauce.
Xie Ying took the two small clay pots that Wei Ruo had given her, and asked Wei Ruo curiously, "What is this?" "
It's mushroom sauce."
"Mushroom sauce? Made with mushrooms?"
“Well, put a little bit of lard in the pot, add the minced and sauteed meat until fragrant, then put onion, ginger, garlic, diced mushrooms, then add salt, cooking wine, etc, pepper powder, white sugar and saute evenly. Lastly, add a little soy sauce." Wei Ruo explained.
Xie Ying was stunned when she heard him: "I don't understand, but it looks very strong. Can this sauce be eaten directly? I don't know how to cook, but I do know how to eat it. Once I eat it, I know it's delicious or not. Eat it."
"Usually used to mix rice, vegetables, noodles, etc., will be slightly salty if eaten directly, but naturally edible," Wei Ruo replied.
“Then there is no problem.”
Xie Ying could not wait to have the servant girl bring her chopsticks, then opened her jar, dipped the tip of her chopsticks slightly, and put it in her mouth.
Xie Ying's eyes immediately sparkled: "The smell is so good!"
Xie Ying really thought it was delicious. He liked the rich taste of this sauce, which smelled of meat and mushrooms, and the rich taste of soy sauce.
"It's okay if you like it. I'll get it for you after you finish eating it. It is better if fresh. If it is stored for too long, it will affect its quality. I'll make a new one for you later." ." Wei Ruo replied.
Although it can be preserved for a period of time if burned with soy sauce, covered with cooking oil, and sealed in a jar of soil, it cannot be preserved during modern preservatives and vacuum packaging.
"OKAY. Then I'll give it to my brother. I don't want to give it if there are only two cans, but if there are more, then I can treat it a little better!" said Xie Ying.
"Yes." Yeah." Wei Ruo could not help but laugh, the unique way of associating with brother and sister Xie was very funny to him.
After all the yams were harvested, Wei Ruo was ready to plant a new crop. Land resources are limited and cannot be left empty.
Today, there are suitable plants grown in mountainous areas, such as rapeseed, radish, and chickpeas are great choices.
If it really takes into account cost performance, it is best to plant wheat at this time, so that it can be harvested from April to June of next year's lunar calendar.
But the terrain of Mount Xiaoyang is not suitable for growing wheat, the reason I chose to plant sweet potatoes because sweet potatoes do not need too much care in the sloping mountains.
In contrast, the terrain in the south of the city was more suitable for growing wheat.
When the land was massively reclaimed in the south of the city, Wei Ruo not only bought a medicinal field with Xie Ying, but also asked the nanny to buy a lot of land.
Although the land bought by the nanny was not as good as its geographical location as the government gave to the poor for free, its terrain was still much better than the mountainous land north of the city.
The price was also cheap, fifty taels of silver demanded a hundred acres of flat land.
After this period of improvement, the land is ready to grow crops. Wei Ruo planned to plant wheat on that piece of land. When wheat is harvested next year, the time to plant Wei Ruo's final rice varieties is right.
Not only was Wei Ruo planning to grow wheat in the nanny's subscription land, Wei Ruo was also planning to let others in the south of the city also grow wheat.
It's too late to grow rice today, but if you grow regular vegetables, it's not cost-effective for the poor who haven't solved their food and clothing problems.
Although the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Streets would rather eat rice than pasta, but in this situation, who cares, the most important thing is to grow food to fill their stomachs.
In order to advance this matter with the people in the south of the city, Wei Ruo needed government assistance.
So Wei Ruo called Nanny Qin and told Nanny Qin what she was thinking. He knew that Chu Lan had something to gain in this matter, so he did not need to beat around the bush when making demands with his people, let alone feel embarrassed.
"Miss Wei is very good, growing wheat is indeed the best option at the moment." Mother Qin strongly agreed with Wei Ruo's judgment.
"If possible, I would like to ask Nanny Qin to help me transport the wheat seeds from the north. There were still very few wheat seeds planted in Taizhou Prefecture, and wheat seeds were not enough. However, the south of the city has a large planting area and requires large quantities of wheat seeds. The commoners had no money, and it was very difficult to obtain grain seeds of their own ability."
"Miss Wei, don't worry, my young master will take care of this matter for Miss Wei." Nanny Qin gave a positive answer without returning to ask for instructions from Chu Lan.
His Highness His Seventh Majesty is very concerned about the desert reclamation in the south of the city, he should hurry to make a contribution Now that he has reached this point, he has reached this point, how could there be no reason for mere grain seeds?
Hearing Qin Nanny's reply, Wei Ruo knew that finding Qin Nanny was the right choice.
Chu Lan's participation still had great benefits, this kind of thing that was not easy for ordinary people could easily be done by her.
"I will thank Master Chu and Madam first for the people who opened up the vacant land in the south of the city," Wei Ruo thanked.
"Miss Wei, you're welcome. The people who opened the desert should thank you," Nanny Qin said.
