The Petite Wife of the First Family - Chapter 226

   Chapter 226 Slippery meat

   Butler Wen ordered the quantity in person, and when the convoy left, he laughed and went back to settle the account in a happy mood.

  Xu Daniu and Wen Yu fell into the workshop to sort out the sweet potatoes. All the sweet potatoes have been ground into sweet potato flour. After the goods were shipped this time, there was not a single sweet potato vermicelli left.

   He had to arrange to make some more vermicelli and send them to Zuixianglou in the town and county, although the town and county didn’t ask for much.

   However, after the year, another batch will be shipped to Los Angeles.

   He also wanted to make some for them to be engaged to as a banquet, and then to eat it during the Chinese New Year.

   Now, soy products are out of stock, so we have to step up production. There were too many in stock before, and Xu Daniu was very worried about sales.

   Who knows, his brother-in-law is so powerful! If he could sell it to Los Angeles, he had to supervise their wasteland and try to arrange the reclamation before spring sowing.

  The land that has been reclaimed has already been planted with rapeseed seedlings.

   On the side of the village entrance, Xiao Mo took everyone to bid farewell to his master, and set off in a mighty manner.

   Xu Zhizhi and Xiao Jingheng sent the convoy out of the village entrance, and the two walked back slowly.

   “Girl Zhi, can our sweet potato flour be sent to your workshop to be processed into vermicelli?”

   Hu Tiesheng’s uncle saw Xu Zhizhi from a distance and trotted over to ask.

   Xu Zhizhi asked strangely: “Last time, didn’t I say that I can go to our workshop to make vermicelli?”

  The second uncle of the Hu family said embarrassedly: “Yes, yes! Thank you, Zhi girl, we sincerely thank you for bringing a lot of benefits to our Qili Village.”

   Several villagers later also expressed their gratitude to Xu Zhizhi.

   A villager said: “Then I will go to your workshop to process vermicelli tomorrow.”

   Xu Zhizhi said: “I don’t care about the workshop, you go and ask my brother which day he arranges, you can go on that day.”

  The villagers enthusiastically let Xu Zhizhi and Xiao Jingheng walk over.

  The villagers expressed how generous and tolerant Xu Zhizhi was.

  The cause of the incident is this, the villagers of their Qili Village, each family dug several thousand catties of sweet potatoes.

  Xu Zhizhi told them how to store the seeds for next year. Villagers who don’t have seeds can also go to their homes to buy seeds next year.

   She clearly told the villagers that it is much cheaper to store their own seeds, and it is relatively more expensive to buy seeds.

   Many villagers expressed their willingness to save their own seeds, and a small number of them made an agreement with the Xu family to buy the Xu family’s sweet potato seeds next year.

  Xu Zhizhi also suggested that the villagers can grind and wash the excess sweet potatoes.

   can also be sold directly to the Xu family workshop, the price is two cents per catty, everyone calculates, one mu of fertile land produces about one thousand and one hundred catties.

   OMG! One mu of land has at least 2 taels of silver, and the most they grow beans and sell to the Xu family is less than 2 taels of silver.

   This is still this year. The year is good and there are no natural disasters. However, when the year is good and the harvest is good, the price of food will drop.

   If it wasn’t for the Xu family’s purchase at last year’s price, they would sell less to the town.

  Although most of the villagers have no reading knowledge and less knowledge, they are very good at counting.

   Therefore, most of the villagers chose to sell directly to the Xu family workshop.

   They were elated when they got the silver, and they also bought some sweet potato vermicelli from the Xujia workshop to try it out for their family members.

  Xu Zhizhi also suggested that the villagers go to their workshop to grind some sweet potato washing powder and eat it at home.

  The villagers asked what is the use of grinding sweet potato washing powder.

   Xu Zhizhi patiently taught the aunts and sisters in the village how to make sweet potato pancakes.

  Sweet potato pancakes can be eaten directly to satiety, or can be made into a delicious dish.

   Xu Zhizhi told them to boil water in the pot, add some salt and stir well.

  Add boiled salt water to the sweet potato flour and mix well until the potato flour turns black.

  Heat oil in a pot, pour in sweet potato batter and spread it into a cake. After the potato cakes are fried until fragrant on both sides, remove and cool.

  Finally, cut the sweet potato cakes into evenly sized pieces, peel and smash the garlic.

  Leave oil at the bottom of the pan, add garlic and fry until fragrant, add hash browns and stir fry evenly, it is a dish that tastes better than meat.

   This is what Xu Zhizhi ate at her grandmother’s house in the countryside in her previous life.

  The villagers think it is delicious, the method is simple and the taste is good.

   At that time, there were some villagers with slightly better backgrounds, who didn’t sell sweet potatoes, they all ground and washed them into sweet potato flour.

  In the beginning, the Xu family had to pay a processing fee to grind 100 jins, and said that there was a processing fee for going to the workshop to process vermicelli.

  The villagers who sold the sweet potatoes were happy. They didn’t grind much, so it was just right for them to keep their own home made slippery meat.

   However, those households that grind a little more, after washing the sweet potatoes, they are also reluctant to pay for the processing fee.

   Finally, no one started to process sweet potato vermicelli.

  However, today the Xujia sweet potato vermicelli is selling so hot.

  The villagers spent a little processing fee at first, and they processed it into sweet potato vermicelli and nothing happened.

  However, they thought that the Xu family wanted to earn their processing fee.

   In the end, everyone didn’t go to work, and they suddenly went to work after so long. They were very embarrassed.

   So, I ran over to ask Xu Zhizhi, got her answer, and everyone was grateful.

   Actually, Xu Zhizhi is very busy all day, and she feels that time flies so fast.

   As for the villagers feeling that time has passed and they did not get the sweet potato flour for processing in time, to Xu Zhizhi, it seems like yesterday.

   Then how could she refuse!

   This is what she suggested everyone to do!

   Their Xu family workshop will continue to develop processing fees to earn money in the future!

   is like various processing plants in modern rural areas, the most common rice mills, oil mills…

  Which one goes to the processing without paying processing fees? Just give money.

   Xiao Jingheng didn’t expect it to be so long-term, so he asked: “Daughter-in-law, these people were reluctant to pay for a few copper plates to pay for the processing fee. Today, seeing that we have sold a lot of vermicelli, they want to process it into vermicelli. Why do you agree to them?”

  Xu Zhizhi has nothing to hold back from her husband.

   She said, “Our family grows sweet potatoes and processes them into vermicelli, which is not enough to supply even one Los Angeles city. Didn’t you promise Qian County magistrate next year that all of Nanshi County will grow sweet potatoes?”

   Xiao Jingheng still asked incomprehensibly: “Does that have anything to do with promising them?”

  Xu Zhizhi said patiently: “Give them a taste of the sweetness, explore the way, and help us spread the word. Next year, we will open workshops to process vermicelli and earn processing fees.”

   Xiao Jingheng said suddenly, “Yes! Why didn’t you think of it as a husband?”

   Xiao Jingheng is a very smart man, he thought of it at once.

   “Then you have planted a lot of rapeseed this year, why don’t we set up an oil extraction workshop ourselves?”

  Xu Zhizhi said calmly, “Yes, when the time comes, we will sell it to Quan Dasheng. We currently have a drunk incense building in Dasheng, how can it be enough!”
