Shanwa Small Rich Farmers

Chapter 121: hearth

  On the second day of looking for mushrooms, Wen Xu devoted herself to the great business of making stoves.

The furnace type is easy to make, Wen Xu has drawings, Guangsheng and Guang'an spent two days building the furnace according to Wen Wen's requirements, and filled all the cracks between the refractory bricks with mud Gray putty, greasy brick pattern stove is very plain and not fancy at all.

  However, more than a month after the oven was built, the oven has not been formally lit. What is the difficulty? Right on the mud in the hearth. When Wen Xu was in college, he used to work in a western restaurant in Mingzhu. The old European baker in the restaurant liked to 'chat' with Wen Xu, the English-speaking assistant chef, after two glasses of wine. The master has boasted more than once about his bread-making skills. This old man built a special oven to bake bread in the restaurant. Many foreigners came to the store for his bread, and according to him, the oven baked it A large part of the secret to the unique flavor of bread lies in this clay.

  Wen Xu knew a little bit about the content, and still remembered what the old man said about what kind of mud was called good mud, so he made it himself according to the old man's request! This sounds simple, but it's troublesome to get it done.

   But fortunately, Wen Xu is patient, attentive enough to do things, and has enough brains. With the plug-in of space, it is also very convenient to make mud and dry mud. Up to now, I have tried almost a hundred kinds of "recipe" for the chamber mud, and gradually figured out the clues. After I got the clues, things progressed rapidly.

Leading the white ox, there are two barrels of mud on the body of the white cow. This is a warm 'new formula' of mud. It uses the mud from the pond in the space and the hay stems in the space to beat it repeatedly. Broken space wheat oranges, until the wheat oranges and grass stems are smashed until they are called fibrous. If the European old man is not lying, these two barrels of mud probably exceed the old man's hidden chest mud formula.

  In a word: With space, you are a cow!

Humming a little song softly, Wen Xu led the cow out of the small courtyard of his home, walked about ten meters, and walked to the newly built stove, unloaded the mud, Wen Xu picked up the trowel, and picked it up with the tip of the knife. A ball of mud was put on the hand, and then bent, the whole upper body stretched into the hearth and began to smear the mud on the hearth with his hands.

After wiping for a while, the body turned into lying on the hearth because of the need to adapt to the space in the chamber. The joy of success stimulated a warm and good mood. When Gui came over and saw it, he gave Wen Xu a few words, telling Wen Xu to spend his time on 'business', but Wen Xu thinks this is his business: concentrate on doing something that he finds interesting!

   "...Little sister's flower pockets..." Wen Xu sang an unknown song that she heard on TV while wiping the mud on her chest.

"hey-hey!"

  At this moment, Wen Xu suddenly felt that someone patted her thighs that were exposed outside the furnace, and stretched out her head to have a look, and Yan Dong's big face suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"How did you come?"

  After asking, Wen Xu retracted his body again and continued to carefully wipe the mud on himself.

Yan Dong bent down, and put his head on Wen Wen's waist to observe the situation inside Wen Wen's hearth: "Yo, your thing really looks like what the villagers said, it looks like a grave when you look at it from a distance. Grave! People build stoves in a square shape, how can you build such a thing, but the inside is quite big, you don’t plan to roast someone in it!”

   "When the building is completed, the first one will roast you!" Wen Xu said angrily, "If you have something to say, you can fart as soon as you say it! If you are willing to part with Mingzhu's colorful world, what are you doing here in my small village?"

  Yan Dong directly ignored Wen Wen's swear words, picked up the trowel beside the bucket and played with it in his hand: "I'm here this time to ask the teacher for his crime!"

   "Who are you looking for?"

"Of course I'm looking for you. I'm going to ask whoever else is guilty!" Putting down the trowel in his hand, Yan Dong reached out and beat Bai Niu's brain. with his own ears.

"You didn't tell me about such a big incident. Fortunately, Biaozi is smart. He heard that there is a new kind of mushroom in the village. The stewed chicken is very delicious, so he bought a few back. If it weren't for you It caused irreparable damage to the company!"

   Yan Dong's tune is quite high, but it's a pity that Wen Xu doesn't like him at all.

Seeing that Wen Xu ignored him at all, Yan Dong asked: "What do you say, you should give me a reaction after I have said so much! The company sent you here to monitor the people and things here. You are so good, you didn't give me any news about such a big thing as mushrooms, what's the use of you as the chairman of the board of directors!"

   "Then I'll be the chairman of the ignorant bureau! How many people in total are still the chairman and president, so don't be ashamed of it!" Wen Xu replied, wiping the dirt on his own chest.

   "Professor Chi Jiaqiang and Wen Shigui's second brother are both on the cover of the electronic edition of academic journals because they discovered this mushroom, do you know?" Yan Dong asked.

   Wen Xu said: "I know!"

  Originally, Mr. Chi wanted to share the discovery of the name with himself and Wen Shigui, but Wen Xu had no interest at all, wishing that everyone didn't know him, so how could he take the risk. At that time, the second brother Wen Shigui showed off well, and directly took the cover of the journal to the county town to find someone to make it the size of a New Year picture, framed it and hung it in the middle of the main room at home. For a few days, I walked with the sound of wind.

Mushrooms are the hottest thing these days. Every family, adults and children, carry baskets up the mountain to pick them after the rain. It only took a day or two to bring the mountain rented by Wen Xu to the mountain rented by Wen Shigui’s family. , plus the mushrooms on several nearby wild hilltops were found.

  Whether it is roasted vegetarian dishes or stewed or fried meat dishes, this mushroom is very fresh, especially when paired with fatty pork, it is a must. Every roasted meat in Wenjia Village cannot do without it. Although the one disadvantage is that it will not rot when it grows on the grass for a few days, but it will rot overnight after picking it off, and after it rots, it can't be eaten anymore, and it will emit a bad smell.

  The old Bai surname is also experienced, and soon someone came up with a solution, drying the mushrooms in a slightly hot pot! Although most of the umami taste will be lost, it is better than rotten. What's more, the taste of dried mushrooms re-soaked in water is several grades better than other mushrooms.

  Because it’s so delicious, every household picks it up and eats it. Those who can’t eat it are directly dried in a pot, and they are eaten with water when they want to eat. Gradually, this newly grown mountain delicacy has also expanded to the relatives and friends of people in Wenjia Village. In the past two days, some vendors have come to collect the dried mushrooms in the hands of each family.

Thinking of this, Wen Xu moved his body so that he could see Yan Dongren, and then asked: "Are you here to collect the mushrooms? What price are you going to give? You must know that someone has come to collect them in the past two days. Now The price of dried mushrooms ranges from seven yuan per catty to twelve yuan per catty, depending on the quality of the mushrooms."

   "These people! Heh heh!" Yan Dong snorted twice: "I pay twenty a catty here!"

"You pay 20, who doesn't want someone else to pay 25 or 30? You want to monopolize the mushrooms here? It's a bit naive. These mushrooms are not vegetables, and you control the channels here. , others don’t want to compete with you for real money! This thing is the only one in the country, and the quantity is not large. If you want to monopolize it, it’s not easy. If you meet someone who is not bad money, you’ll play it.” Wen Xin listened to him After raising the price so high, I guessed what Yan Dong wanted to do.

   Yan Dong smiled and said: "The Shanren have their own tricks. Others buy dried mushrooms, but I can sell dried mushrooms that still taste like fresh mushrooms to the market!"

   "Oh!" Wen Xu asked in surprise, "What method did you use?"

Yan Dong said: "Others can't tell you about this method, but you and I can tell. It's a coincidence. I accidentally sprayed a mushroom with an atomizing kettle like the one used for watering vegetables, and only one of them was fresh the next day. Once, the little mushroom was kept fresh for eight or nine days, and then soaked in water after drying in the sun, the umami taste can be completely preserved.”

   "..." Wen Xin didn't expect that this product would be so lucky, although he found this thing by accident.

"I'm going to subsidize your village with 500,000 yuan in the name of the company. If it's suitable, I can fix 500,000 yuan a year. As long as the greenhouse area increases, I won't be afraid of others competing with me." Yan Dong stretched out a slap in the face waved in front of him.

  Wen Xu paid 500,000 yuan for the mushroom thing after listening to it for a year? Immediately looking at Yan Dong, I was a little surprised: "Tell me, what little Jiujiu is hiding in your heart! It must be a weasel to pay a New Year's greeting to the chicken, and I don't have any good intentions! Take some mushrooms for 500,000, and I have fresh-keeping skills Yes, I don't believe it!"

"Listen to what you said, I want to support the construction of your Wenjia Village, and I'm like a reactionary!" Yan Dong said with a smile, but the smug expression on his face betrayed him Think carefully, obviously Yan Dong still has his own little calculations.

  Wen Xu said: "It's up to you, then go talk!".

Anyway, Wen Xu doesn't really care if the company earns more or less. He can already eat and drink with the current things. If the money is more or less, it will just be more or less gold bricks in his own space. The problem has nothing to do with the standard of living, and the requirements for Qian Wenxu have never been too high.

   "If you, the chairman, agree, then we will pass it!" Yan Ran laughed.

  After hearing what Yan Dong said, Wen Xu continued to wipe the mud on his chest: "Bring me another piece of mud, just pick it up with a trowel, it doesn't need much!"

  When the mud in his hand was used up, Wen Xu started to use Yan Dong, the chairman of the board of directors and the executive president of Xu Dong Company just wiped the mud on his chest.

  When the wiping was about to be finished, Wen Xu waved his hands twice, but Yan Dong didn't hand in the mud, and Wen Xu stretched out his body out of the furnace involuntarily.

   Seeing Yan Dong in a daze, he couldn't help asking: "What are you looking at?"

   "Is the scum playing with monkeys?" Yan Dong turned around and asked, "Is it because my eyes are blurred, you still have monkeys here?"

   "How strange, what's so strange about this kind of monkey! It's not a rare species, it's just an ordinary macaque," Wen Xu said.

This monkey has improved the most these days. It used to be afraid to stand up when there were people around. Now after these days, it can hang around the trees near the village during the day. Something delicious, of course, the main source of food is through scum, and what they eat is the melons and fruits in the warm and warm greenhouse.

   "I don't want that dog, you give me the monkey, this monkey looks pretty good to me!" Yan Dong said.

As soon as I heard Wen Xu, I understood that this kid thinks that monkeys are self-supporting like scum, so he teased him and said: "I don't have that ability, you can talk to monkey yourself, but remind you, if it knows what you said What do you mean, you have to be careful not to be scratched to death by it. You are also a person who is not afraid of death, you dare to have such a strong male monkey, this monkey with the spirit of stealing the king, you still keep it? It won’t kill you! "

   After speaking, Wen Xu snorted.

Yan Dong said: "Nowadays many people don't keep dogs but monkeys. You can help me catch a small one. I heard that people who catch monkeys live with the monkey group and often bring food to the monkey group. During the period They will take special care of a little monkey. Over time, the monkey mother will give the little monkey to this person and let the little monkey go with him, because the monkey mother thinks that this person can make her children live a good life. Do you think this is true? yes?"

Wen Xu glanced at this guy, picked up a ball of mud with a trowel and put it in his hand: "I really don't know about this kind of thing. As for eating and sleeping with a group of monkeys, I won't do it. If you want Go monkey!"

If you want to talk about other things, Wen Xu may not know, but when it comes to raising monkeys, Wen Xu really knows a little bit of inside information. When I was young, my grandfather had an old friend who raised monkeys. He didn't play monkeys, but he specialized in breeding monkeys and selling them to monkey people. He knew a little bit. : "I don't know what you said, but I know that the monkeys of the Monkey Shower are specially bred. Those monkeys were artificially fed from an early age, and they ate and slept with people. As for what you said, they are kept as pets now, then I I don't know anymore"

   Speaking of this, a few kids stood on the road and screamed towards this side.

   "Grandpa, is the stove ready?" Da Linzi asked Wen Xu loudly, holding a ham sausage wrapped with a stick.

"A bunch of greedy cats!" Wen Xu poked his head out of the hearth, wiped the itchy place on his face with his cuff with a smile and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll start burning the hearth right away, there will be bread tomorrow night ate!"

A group of small families have been asking every day since their own stove was built. Even if Wen Xu said to wait for a while, the temptation to eat still makes these little kids come to ask every day regardless of batches. Such a sentence. After the two days of excitement, the adults in the village no longer care about the warmth and the warmth of the stove, only these little kids still have their uncle's bread on their lips.
