Before Mrs. Xu fell asleep, she was still thinking about two things.
One thing is that there is no fish floss, so she is exclusive.
Family members in the live broadcast room helped her search and said that it is said that fish floss and meat floss became popular in the late Qing Dynasty. It was during the Xianfeng period that it appeared for the first time.
Her granddaughter also analyzed it for her. Even if meat floss appears in the world, you can try it to see if it catches fire. It is also the combat ration for Genghis Khan's army. When it comes to combat, the practice of meat floss must be kept confidential and will not be promoted.
Fish floss is even more impossible, and Genghis Khan didn’t have it either.
So, I really didn’t expect that a small fish floss could have such good fortune.
Mrs. Xu thought in her heart: There is no good thing, the vast world has a lot to offer, isn't she about to usher in the years of burning passion?
Mrs. Xu felt that she had already seen a series of processing factories.
Seeing dozens or hundreds of large pots frying golden fish floss at the same time, I even figured out what kind of work clothes the workers wore with white hats on their heads.
On the dam, I saw the villagers carrying burdens and horses, welcoming the sunrise and sending off the sunset. They got up early in the morning and took basket after basket of fish to the processing factory.
Liu Laozhu has a pen behind his ear and is recording names and weights. He has become her subordinate.
I saw that she also had a fleet of ships and mules and oxen that transported goods.
The fluttering sails are embroidered with the time-honored Yusong brand that belongs to their ancestors and grandchildren.
If you don't want to name a time-honored brand in the name of their grandparents and grandchildren, then name it in the name of the family members of the live broadcast room and engrave it on the custom altar.
Yes, it makes more sense to use the name of her family. Her family will always be a very important part of her family. She wants to let those modern treasures fly in this land of different time and space.
People can't come, but the name is.
This matter is about to be taken care of. Later, let the family members in the live broadcast room brainstorm and think about what our time-honored brand is called.
Wait, when the business is so big, will she be targeted? Her family has no background at all.
You said that the family is still in its lean years. The younger ones are unable to have children, while the older ones are too old and have poor foundations. It is too late to go to school and take exams for merit. The granddaughter can read a book, but this damn environment makes it possible for her to take advantage of the information gap to sell fish floss, and on the other hand, it is destined that her granddaughter will not be able to take the merit examination.
Ai? Are there no female officials in this dynasty? Otherwise, people living at the bottom can’t even keep up with eating shit. They don’t know anything about the news outside. When we know it, it won’t be new.
In short, if the transaction is particularly large and the company still has an exclusive monopoly, it will attract attention.
Being too good is a very jealous thing. If you are targeted by individual officials and gentry tyrants who bully men and women, you may be able to solve it if you think of a way, but you are afraid that the fish floss will also be taken away to become individual soldier rations.
The main reason is that this ration is so good, it is light and easy to carry, and the fish floss and fat make it strong for fighting. Genghis Khan had meat floss. Once our fish floss is dried to a large size, can it avoid being used as military rations?
But when a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain why.
It’s okay to give us the money for the fish floss, or even if it’s a one-time buyout to give us the money for the secret recipe, we don’t want anything else, we just want the money.
I am afraid that my contribution will be in vain.
What is yours and mine here? There is nothing in the world but the king's soil. What should I do if people say that everything belongs to the king's soil?
She might even catch her and interrogate her like she is doing fine work, asking how do you know how to make fish floss? Where did you learn that?
That designation means you cannot tell the truth.
So she has to start preparing lies now.
It cannot be said that tonight I picked up a basin of fish and went into the kitchen to fry it.
It must be said that it was a hazy day in the month. The room was hot and humid, and outside there was often the sound of thunder before a shower. All the salted fish were tossed back into the room, but there was no place to dry them. The ropes were all dry. It couldn’t be hung, and there was no space to even place the live fish basin.
What are we going to eat that night? Let’s catch some fish.
She would explain: Gentlemen, you may not know that most of us ordinary farmers don’t have any salt at home. They are reluctant to add salt and can only steam it. But what happened to the child that day? The steamed fish tasted fishy and he couldn’t swallow it.
At this moment, Xu Tianxin dreamed of something delicious. He turned over and moved his mouth and continued to fall into deep sleep.
Mrs. Xu looked at her granddaughter, tucked her in, and thought: In fact, her granddaughter has a strong mouth. As long as she cooks, she will never say something is not delicious. Our children even drink grass seed porridge.
But you can't say that. Mrs. Xu continued to write a small composition.
At that time, she said that the child couldn't eat it, so she had to return the steamed fish to the pot. She gritted her teeth and added some salt and started frying. Unexpectedly, the more she fried, the more it turned yellow, and the more she fried, the more fluffy it was like cotton... Just like that, Yusong was born.
Alas, this made Mrs. Xu worried. She could not sleep due to the heat of the kang as she tossed and turned. She seemed to have encountered a business crisis and was about to be taken away for trial.
Before Mrs. Xu drifted off to sleep, the second thing on her mind was:
I must remind my granddaughter tomorrow morning not to filter again. The filtered salt will be whiter than the most expensive salt sold in town. Is this nonsense? I am afraid that others will not find out that our family is doing something secretly. Even if a child’s skills are too good, he or she will fail.
In addition, you can't give her all the fish salt as fine salt. You have to leave some coarse salt for her, or else use it to pickle pickles and sauerkraut.
Mrs. Xu probably only slept for more than three hours. When she heard the sound of Yu Qinniang coming back from carrying water in the yard, she woke up in high spirits.
If someone comes into the house at this time, you can hear it.
A little old lady was sweeping the kang mat while humming: People's experiences are different, but I have pride and ambition in my chest. Even though the mountains are high and the water is deep, it cannot stop me from pursuing my future...
After thinking about it, I dusted myself off and dug into the stove to cook.
At the same time, at the gate, Guan Ertu's voice was heard praising Xu Tianxin.
"Well, it's delicious, Grandpa Guan. Although it doesn't have the aroma of frozen pork skin, it's cooler than that when you swallow it. You also added sugar water and it's also very flavorful. If you can sprinkle some flower petals on top, it will be better if it's served in white porcelain. nice."
Guan Ertu never expected that this child still had aesthetic sense.
A village boy, huh? Have aesthetics.
It's just that she looks even uglier this morning. Her hair was dark yesterday, as if she had been permed by a stove.
If only she could be fairer, her hair could be darker, and she could put on a set of unpatched clothes.
The more Guan Ertu looked at Xu Tianxin, the more he thought: Don't tell me where to stop, this girl is a bit like a city girl when she talks and laughs, she is steady, not like a wanderer.
Alas, our village is poor. There is nothing natural about the young lady's style. It is all based on money. Not to mention anything else, just a loud voice, the ladies in the city have maids to help them shout and have maids to help with the work. But if the girls in our village don’t shout loudly, who can hear them? If you don’t dig at the soil, there will be no mud in your fingernails, and there will be no wild vegetables.
Xu Tianxin didn't realize that her grandpa Guan was feeling pity for her: "Freeze it in the sky and make it firmer. It can be shaped into various shapes and it will look better and taste better. Now it can be used as a dish with garlic sauce, right?"
Guan Ertu was immediately extremely satisfied with Xu Tianxin:
"You kid, you have a problem.
Indeed, my master said back then that it must be blended with the winter moon, but I just put it in the well and pulled it out.
Grandpa will tell you the truth. He has never told anyone in the village that this is made of fish scales. You didn’t expect it, right? Doesn’t it smell fishy?
Just put some sugar in this. If you sprinkle some dried osmanthus, it will be very fragrant.
You can also use leeks, lettuce, sweet-scented osmanthus, duck, shredded bamboo shoots on a plate, poured with mustard vinegar to make a big dish, which is what I have here...sigh. "
No, even if I want my children to try it, I’m too short of money.
When he was a child, his master cooked it for him and his adopted brother.
There is a reason why Xu Tianxin does not object to eating fish scale jelly.
Because as far as she knows, gelatine tablets seem to be made of these things. The protein gel substance in fish bones is similar to fish scale jelly, which is a rough version of gelatine.
Also, when she and her classmates traveled to Guangdong and Guangdong, they had already eaten fish scale jelly desserts. There was a store specializing in selling these, including fish scale jelly, pineapple jelly, and horn swallow soup. I heard that this is a crystal dumpling originated from the Southern Song Dynasty, a local dessert that has been around since ancient times.
"You really know more about your milk. Come on, if you like to eat, I'll give you these."
Mrs. Xu was full of ambitions, and when she came out she heard Guan Ertuo trying to kill her.
"I'm showing off something important. I'm so excited. I came here early in the morning." She's about to become the director of a fish floss factory, so she doesn't show off like this.
I took a closer look and said, "Oh my! It's really made of fish scales."
Xu Tianxin looked at Guan Ertu: "..." You just swore that you only told me.
Guan Ertu: "I only mentioned it to you and your milk."
Mrs. Xu and her granddaughter complained: "I told you two just one night, and in another month, I'm afraid the whole village will know."
While talking, Mrs. Xu took her granddaughter's small bowl and took a sip. She tasted it carefully, not to mention she was cooperative.
Guan Ertuo was excited: "Is it possible? This is the southern dish. Only people like my master who travel well can have this..."
"Farewell, Master, my family hasn't cooked yet, let's get down to business, but you have to wait.
How can I find the time to go out and sell this to you now?
Besides, it's neither hot nor cold right now, and it will get cold again in a while. Who can spend copper coins to buy such a cool thing when setting up a stall in a small town? Don't make enough to pay your bills anymore.
So, take the time to dig a bigger cellar in your home. If you want to store some ice in the cellar during the winter, let's see what happens next summer. "
Mrs. Xu answered like this, but she was already thinking about going to the county restaurant tomorrow to see if they had this dish. If she didn't find a restaurant to try selling vegetables. All the raw materials are provided by them, and the restaurant is only responsible for mixing it and serving it to the table.
Even when you go to a brothel to sell condoms, you can also try taking out fish scale jelly, which may be better than selling it in a restaurant.
Restaurant appetizers can be replaced with aspic.
But the brothel can focus on beauty and beauty. The girls in the brothel are most afraid of getting old.
It would be better if we could go to Fucheng. The bigger the place, the more likely there would be many people who spend their spare money to buy food that is neither full nor hungry.
If you want to sell desserts in a small town, you can at least sell them in front of the school where Liu Jingdong studies, to those children who still pay attention to elegance in their studies.
As for Guan Ertuo, he didn't know what Mrs. Xu's inner plan was and he was very satisfied with it. As long as he could enter into the prospect of cooperation, the two moves he had recently thought of were both profitable.
As a result, he was scolded as soon as he smiled.
"Uncle Guan, you are so good. Why did you leave the house and stir up shit last night? Oh my God, there are seventeen people in my family. Ten of them were vomited by you, and the remaining seven didn't sleep all night. , I woke up this morning with my head buzzing. This morning it was the second and third boys’ turn to pick up the fishing nets, and they almost fell into the river.”
Da Hongzi, the mother-in-law of the village, came closer as she spoke. She looked at the small wooden buckets filled with food, and then looked at Guan Ertu: "Okay, it seems that you are making food out of dung balls and the like again? Are you still here?" I don’t feel guilty at all. No matter what it is made of, we have been smoked all night, and we don’t want to give some to the neighbors. You got up so early and came here to give gifts."
"I didn't give any gifts, I just came..."
"Uncle Guan," one ear called from afar: "What did you pull out of the well? The child fell into the well."
Whose prodigal kid did this? That's his fish scale jelly!
Guan Ertu ran away in a hurry.
Da Hongzi and Mrs. Xu looked at each other: "Do you think he is cheating on you? He is very clever."
Mrs. Xu said in a funny tone: "Da Hongzi, you have changed. Normally, you would say that he came to my house to deliver food and drinks all morning, and we were destined to have an affair."
Da Hongzi's old face turned red: "Emma, sister, no, convener, in your mind, I am such a picky person? When have I ever lived like that? I am such a deep person."
Da Hongzi felt that he couldn't defend himself, and said with a serious face: "Besides, he is not worthy of you, can I even think about having a relationship? You are so hard to think about being with him, really. And now I believe your words more and more. .”
"Which sentence?"
"Look for the rich old man, I think you can really find him. We were still nagging that day, saying that you can find him, but you don't seem to be determined to find the old man now."
"Hey, that's right. It shows that your eyesight has improved. Who are there? How many of you." With such a busy life, it doesn't take away from paying attention to the people behind the scenes, right?
Da Hongzi: "...What, I have to leave beforehand."
She turned around and walked quickly for a few steps and suddenly stopped. Yes, she was really busy. She was helping to run errands and deliver a message: "Sister, the fourth uncle asked you to go to Li Zheng's house quickly. They are all there."
"what's up?"
"It's said that Li Zheng's eldest brother came back by boat this morning. It's the one named Liu Zhuang. You should have an impression. I heard my third boy said that when he went to the dam, his expression was not good, as if something big happened. .”
Mrs. Xu didn't go there immediately. After all, the sky was falling and she wouldn't solve the problem even if she went.
She is not on duty today in the village leadership team, but brother Lao Wan is on duty.
She finally took a break and would rather lose her work points than pickle fish at home.
Mrs. Xu went into the house and cooked a simple meal. After the meal, she hid the fish floss, put the fish bone soup in a pot and simmered it slowly over low heat, and taught her daughter-in-law how to pickle the cured fish. It took her twice to remember it.
He then signaled his granddaughter to close the door in the house, put down the bamboo curtain, and then make salt before going to Liu Laozhu's house.
At this time, Liu Laozhu's eldest brother had already left by boat. She wanted to know how much tax the processed fish products were on the shore, but she couldn't.
"What's going on?"
The fourth uncle sighed and said, "I heard that the boss' job as the county shopkeeper has also been handed down."
Mrs. Xu asked: "Come to complain about his brother. Do you know that you are enmity with the opposite party because of Jiang's incident in the village?"
The fourth uncle said that he didn't know whether he knew it, but he really didn't complain, he just wanted to come back to the village to have a look. It wasn't that their youngest brother was beaten, and they told their eldest brother when they passed by the county town on their way to Fucheng.
Just when Mrs. Xu doubted that Liu Laozhu would be able to hold on this time, Liu Laozhu came out of the house with a mouth full of fire. It looked like he hadn't slept all night, but his eyes were red and glowing green. .
When Mrs. Xu turned around, she discovered that Liu Laozhu had the energy to draw a bow without turning back.
The fourth uncle couldn't bear it and said hesitantly: "Zhuzi, if you have any difficulties regarding the river, just tell everyone. If you really can't solve it, if it really doesn't work..."
Liu Laozhu seemed to be stimulated and suddenly waved his arms: "I can do it, keep fishing, otherwise my suffering will be in vain, my whole family will suffer in vain, I can hold on!"
At this moment, Wang Yusheng brought in a strong man from outside.
"Uncle Li Zheng, he said he was looking for you."
Liu Laozhu narrowed his eyes and took a few steps forward: "You are the eldest son of Brother Lei's family, right? Where is your father."
