The second update is to ask for pink.

*********………………………………………………******

On the dining table at Lianman'er's house, cold dishes are often replaced with pickles. For example, if you want to shoot cucumbers, you should make delicious cucumbers. It is best not to use a kitchen knife made of steel, as it will damage the fragrance of the cucumbers. The effect of using the back of a bamboo knife is the best. Also, cut tender cucumbers, dried tofu, etc. into thin strips, mix the taste, and it is very refreshing to serve.

When making cold dishes in summer, garlic is essential.

Lian Man'er thinks that adding garlic paste is not only for the taste, but also for sterilization. Speaking of garlic paste, I have to talk about another dish that Lian Shouxin likes to eat very much, that is steamed eggplant.

Choose long, smooth tender eggplant. When cooking or cooking, add a curtain to an iron pot, lay a curtain cloth, and then spread the washed eggplant flat on the curtain cloth and steam over fire. In order to prevent the taste of the eggplant from being lost during the steaming process, the stems of the eggplant cannot be removed.

The skin of the eggplant steamed in this way will become very light. After tearing it apart, you can see that the pulp inside is soft and rotten. Read the full text. Use steamed eggplant and dip it in the prepared soy sauce, which is quite delicious.

However, Lian Man'er doesn't like this dish very much. She likes pickled eggplant. She also washes the eggplant and steams it in a pot, but it cannot be steamed so hard. It's fine when it's cooked. Then breaks the eggplant, spreads it with garlic paste and fine salt on the pulp, then puts it in the jar of the pickled vegetables, spreads it layer by layer, and marinates it in a cool place.

It doesn't take long to pickle it. During breakfast, I eat fried dough sticks with soy milk cooked from the tofu shop. With this pickled eggplant, it tastes the best. The fried dough sticks are made by Lian Ji himself. I hired a new guy to fry fried dough sticks, so every one or two days, Lian Ji will fry fried dough sticks once, and sometimes I will fry some glutinous rice fried cakes with bean paste filling, which are very good. So when buying fried dough sticks and fried cakes, Lian Ji will give you a plate of pickled side dishes, including eggplant.

In fact, greasy food is perfect for this pickled and refreshing side dish.

At this time, the new potatoes also came down.

There are many ways to eat potatoes. The easiest way is to wash the potatoes, put them in the pot and rotten them, then remove the skin, mash the potatoes into mashed potatoes, or dip them in the sauce. When Lian Man'er's house collects potatoes, they can eat them with small ones, either flawed on the appearance, or injured them when digging, and save the large, smooth and intact potatoes.

Those potatoes can be stored for more than half a year and will be eaten until the beginning of spring next year.

In addition to potatoes, cold potato shreds are also very popular among the family. Add more vinegar to eat them in summer.

In this season, on the dining table of the village houses in Sanshiliyingzi, the most common stews are usually potatoes, beans and eggplant. There is no need to add meat. Just add a tablespoon of meat oil when stewing, and the pot of dishes will be fragrant. If you add some vermicelli to it, it will be even more delicious.

Children who are growing up almost know what bitter summer is. This season's melons and vegetables feed each of them strongly.

Xiaoqi did not gain weight, but just watched her body suck. Dahua was already a fat cat, Dapang and Erpang also took off their milk smell and grew into two strong and half-sized dogs. They stayed on the other side of the river most of their time every day, guarding the fish pond.

When Lian Man'er wore a dress that was very suitable last year, she was not fat or thin, but her cuffs were obviously shorter, her pants exposed her ankles, and her skirt was not long enough.

"It's like crops in the field. I sneaked into strips and grew them at night." Zhang smiled while changing clothes for several children.

This summer, the lotus pond on Lianman'er's manor has become the most attractive scene.

In the early morning and evening of summer, Lian Man'er likes to go to the other side of the river, walk around the lotus pond, and close the dense lotus leaves in the lotus pond, or blooming or budding lotus flowers. The sunny night of the full moon is the most beautiful time for the lotus pond. The lotus leaves and lotus flowers add a hazy beauty that does not exist in the day under the moonlight. The water vapor in the pond and the clear fragrance of lotus flowers, the sound of frogs in the ears, and the heat of the day is swept away. In Mr. Lu's words, "...cleans the heart and can make people forget their worries..."

This lotus pond is not only loved by Lian Man'er's own people.

There were elegant people near the villages and towns, either looking for Goro, or asking for love and Lian Shufu to come to the Lotus Pond to enjoy the scenery. As long as the person who came came was a serious person, Lian Man'er's family rarely refused such requests. Next to the Lotus Pond, in the pavilion they built for Mr. Lu, two poetry meetings were really held. Goro and Xiaoqi naturally attended, which made the two brothers, especially Goro, become more friends who study.

Some wealthy families saw that the fish pond and lotus pond were prosperous, so they became imitated. The Wang Juren was already looking for a suitable place and preparing to dig the lotus pond. One day, Wang Youhuai also came to Man'er's house with Wang Youheng and agreed with Wulang that he would buy the lotus roots he had planted from Wulang.

The fish pond business has been going on, and the lotus pond has finally reached the harvest season.

Fresh water chestnuts and fresh lotus pods are available for sale.

The family naturally had to sit down and discuss.

"How should this price be set?"

Fresh water chestnuts and fresh lotus pods are rare in Jinyang County, and their sales target population is also very clear, namely the wealthy households and gentry in Jinyang County.

"The lotus pods still have to be sold casually," Lian Man'er said, leaving some dried lotus seeds to sell when they come. "There is rare and we can't set the price at this time."

The wealthy families and gentry in the county can eat dried lotus seeds transported from the south, but they cannot eat fresh lotus pods.

"How about the price of each lotus pod for 30 cents?" Lian Man'er thought about it and said. She still remembered that in this season of her previous life, she could see vendors selling fresh lotus pods with baskets, and it was just for sale. It is said that in the southern water towns, the price of fresh lotus pods is not high. But in northern cities, the price of fresh lotus pods is fifteen yuan per person.

However, there are many people who buy this price, just to eat fresh ones.

Lian Man'er now plans to sell fresh lotus pods, but also sells fresh lotus pods. Most of the lotus pods should be kept and dried lotus seeds will be sold later.

"Where is the Lingjiao?" Lian Shouxin asked again.

But the water chestnuts cannot be made too old. The fresh water chestnuts are delicious. Put a few water chestnuts in them when cooking or porridge, which can make the whole pot of rice and porridge extremely fragrant.

"Sell as much as the water chestnut can. Let's sell it according to the pound, so we can set a pound of twenty cents per pound first." Lian Man'er said. This is the price of fresh water chestnuts with skin. In the future, the price of water chestnuts with peeled water chestnuts will naturally be higher.

Lian Man'er's lotus pond has long been famous for the people who are watching the scenery and the poems they wrote. This has created a lot of convenience for the sale of fresh lotus pods and fresh lotus pods. Lian Shouxin just used a car to pull the fresh lotus pods and fresh lotus pods to the restaurant, and then went to the market in Jinyang Town. He went to the market in two or three nearby towns twice, and went to the county town again, and took the initiative to order the goods and went to the door.

In addition to restaurants and those big families, there are also a large number of hawkers among the orderers. These hawkers bought fresh water chestnuts and fresh lotus pods from the lotus pond, carried baskets or carried carry carrys to travel around the streets. They sold the water chestnuts and lotus pods at a price of two or three cents to make a profit. The target sales group of these hawkers are mostly small families with some extra money. These people don’t buy much at one time, that is, they taste it a little. The hawkers are also very flexible. For example, they don’t have to sell fresh water chestnuts as a whole pound. They pick up a small handful of them, and they are willing to sell them. This is convenient for everyone, and they also make money.

"Fresh water chestnuts. Fresh lotus seeds, water chestnuts produced in the Lianjia Lotus Pond of Shipailou..."

For a time, such hawking sounds were often heard in the streets and alleys of the town.

Lian Shouxin and Wulang went to the city and sent a truck of fresh water chestnuts, fresh lotus pods, and the fattest fresh fish picked from the fish pond to the Shen family.

The Shen family did not give the goods as a price, but returned many gifts and agreed on a date to ask Lian Shouxin to send another car. It is said that the female family members in the Shen family liked fresh lotus pods and fresh water chestnuts very much.

"Is Master Liu at home?" Lian Man'er asked Goro.

"At home,... Liu Ye is usually fishing, he likes fresh lotus seeds and water chestnuts very much." Goro said.

Fresh lotus seeds and fresh water chestnuts are eaten in midsummer. Not only is the fragrance of the taste, it can also clear away heat and cool down.

"Well, the little fat?"

"He likes it all." Goro smiled, "and complained to me, saying that he couldn't go out at home, and he especially wanted to see what our lotus pond is like now... and asked Dahua, Dapang and Xiaopang..."

Even cats and dogs asked, Shen Xiaopang was really. Lian Man'er couldn't help but smile.

The production of fish ponds and lotus ponds was sold for a while. In the evening of that day, the family sat down to clear the accounts.

"Carp sold for 1,200 kilograms, grass carp sold for 800 kilograms, crucian carp sold for 400 kilograms, silver carp sold for 700 kilograms, flower silver carp 600 kilograms, mandarin fish three hundred kilograms..." Lian Man'er summed up the accounts recorded every day, "The total income is equivalent to 57 taels and 8 cents of silver."

Lian Man'er took out the accounts of digging lotus ponds and purchasing fish fry, and calculated the costs of fish ponds and fish farming with Xiaoqi. Finally, he found that most of the costs were spread to these incomes, and their net income was still 48 taels.

And in the fish pond, half of the fish have not been sold. It is conceivable how much profit will be from Man'er's family after all the fish are sold.

"Then where are the water chestnuts and lotus pods?" Zhang asked.

Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi flipped through the other two accounts. A total of 1,000 fresh lotus pods were sold, and 1,500 kilograms of fresh water chestnuts were sold. The total income was 52 taels and 500 kilograms of silver. The cost of digging the lotus pond and the cost of daily care had been spread into the income of the fish pond above. Only the cost of lotus root seeds and water chestnut seeds was needed to be subtracted, which was the pure income they obtained from the lotus pond. Lian Man'er calculated the net income was forty-two taels of silver.

Because the costs of fish ponds and lotus ponds are amortized in these two incomes, then the money for selling fish, lotus seeds, water chestnuts, chicken head rice, and especially lotus roots will be completely pure income in the future.

The lotus roots were not sold at all, and the lotus leaves in that pond could be sold to the pharmacy shop. When the family thought of the possible income, they couldn't help but shiny.

"I didn't expect that this fish pond and lotus pond really make money." Lian Shouxin sighed.

"Of course." Lian Man'er nodded with a smile. Being a landlord is not enough to farm just by farming. Only by constantly developing side jobs can you bring you a lot of money.
