The first update is to ask for the latest chapter of pink.

****……………………****

Now that soybeans are planted, they will probably not be harvested in late autumn. At that time, edamame was naturally a rare thing. Brine edamame is a very popular dish here in Liaodong Prefecture. It is also a snack that children like very much.

For example, at this time, the soybean pods are full, and it is a good time to sell edamame. As long as you calculate it a little, you will know that the income from selling edamame is higher than the income from selling soybeans in the future. However, there are not many merchants who are willing to pick green bean pods to sell, let alone pick them and eat them at home.

This is not because the farmer cannot settle accounts, but that some deep-rooted thinking in their minds is restricting their actions. Planting crops is to harvest food and eat a full meal. The behavior of picking when the crops are not fully ripe is to waste the crops.

There is nothing more unforgivable in the beliefs of farmers than wasting crops.

To put it bluntly, even the merchants do not have the mind and consciousness of this business. In their minds, crops are directly related to food and clothing, that is, life and survival.

For example, when one or two sorghum trees are harvested, the maximum amount of sorghum can be produced will not exceed one pound. This pound of sorghum is worth no more than ten cents. But if one or two sorghum trees are ruined by someone, it is a big deal. The farmers are not afraid of not having money in their hands, and they are afraid of not having food in their hands.

Lian Man'er's current conditions, if you want to eat edamame or boiled tender peanuts, it should be completely fine. But the fact is, it's not possible. Lian Shuxin will ask Lian Man'er to buy money at the market. He doesn't feel sorry for the money, but the crops in the field cannot move.

Zhou valued Lian Lan'er so much, so he naturally looked at Jinsuo and Yinsuo in a different way, and almost agreed with every request. But when there was no separation, Jinsuo and Yinsuo followed Lian Lan'er to Sanshiliyingzi to see Old Master Lian and Zhou. They suggested that they wanted to eat edamame and peanuts, but Zhou did not dare to agree. Because Zhou knew that Old Master Lian could not pass the hurdle.

It has nothing to do with stinginess. It is not a stubbornness. This is what the farmers have agreed upon, and no one will violate it. It seems that before the harvest is confiscated, the crops in the field will be moved, and the gods will be angered, thereby affecting the harvest that year. Even from then on, they will be abandoned by this field and never find a good harvest.

Lian Man'er's understanding is that this is a kind of heartfelt awe of the land and a year of labor in the village households, and a moral norm that elevates it to a farming society.

Lian Man'er also respected this. In the beginning of spring, she, Wulang, Lian Zhier, Xiaoqi and others planted some peanuts and soybeans in the open space between the fruit trees on the manor, and agreed that this was to keep them for the teeth-bearing sacrifice. Lian Shouxin and Zhang not only did not object, but instead felt that the children were sensible. The couple also worked hard to help.

The second soybeans planted in this second batch can be sold at that time. Lian Man'er and Lian Shouxin discussed for a long time before Lian Shouxin agreed.

The cabbage and soybeans on several acres of land here have been planted, and the wheat on the yard has been dried, so it is time to fight again.

There are two ways to thresh wheat. One is the same as the threshing method of millet, which is to lay the dried wheat ears on the ground and then press them in circles with a stone mill. There is a scalper and two mules at home to pull the stone mill. This process can be done much faster than before.

The other way is to use manual throwing, which is the same as the method of handling sorghum ears. After being beaten, some of the wheat remains on the ears, which requires you to press your hands on the shovel and scrape it, and it will be clean. Of course, you still have to pass through the stone mill afterwards.

The two methods complement each other.

After the stone mill pressed over and over again, the wheat grains took off from the skin. To completely separate the wheat grains from the skins, a process must be carried out, that is, the field of the field.

After passing the gaze, you have to use a dustpan to push the remaining wheat peels out. At the same time, you have to pick out some other debris, such as small stones, small pieces of soil, etc., leaving only clean peeled wheat grains, which can be loaded into a bag and stored in the barn.

Lian Man'er's family collected the first bag of wheat, weighed the weight, and sent it to the mill to grind noodles. The family couldn't wait to taste the "fine grains" produced in their own fields.

Soon, the noodles were ground back. When she went to grind the noodles, Lian Man'er told her that it would be fine as long as it was grinding. So when she opened the bag, she was not surprised to see the wheat noodles that were slightly rough and with a bran-colored color. On the contrary, she was very happy. When she opened the bag, the faint wheat fragrance emitted was even more satisfying.

Lian Shouxin, Zhang Shi, Goro, Lian Zhier and Xiaoqi also came to see it. The wheat noodles that were ground at home were not as white as those bought in the grain store. Then the wheat fragrance was not the white noodles that had been finely ground and transported for a long distance.

"It looks pretty good." Lian Shouxin said.

The noodles are grinded back, so naturally I have to eat them.

"Mom, let's use this noodles tonight. Let's steam buns and eat them." Lian Man'er suggested.

"Okay." Zhang nodded happily, then scooped a pot of wheat noodles and started kneading the noodles.

"This is a very strong face." Zhang said as he faced him.

Lian Man'er washed his hands, tried it, and nodded. The noodles ground in spring wheat were more sticky than those ground in winter wheat, which is the difference in varieties. However, the wheat smell was not inferior, at least Lian Man'er thought so.

For dinner, the steamed buns with steamed buns with wheat noodles were served in a large curtain. As expected, the color of the bun was a bit black and it looked not as delicate as the white noodles, but the wheat fragrance was still the same.

It smells fragrant, so what about it?

Lian Man'er took a steamed bun and broke it apart. The steamed buns from wheat noodles were not as delicate as white flour. After taking a bite, they tasted a little rougher than white flour, and they were a little tougher, not that noisy, just like what Zhang said, "It's quite energetic."

But this taste is enough...

"Delicious." Lian Shouxin, Goro, Lian Zhier, Xiaoqi and Lian Man'er commented one after another.

Zhang also took a steamed bun and ate it for a few bites, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"It's delicious. If you want me to say it, it's more delicious than the white noodles." Zhang said with a smile.

After dinner, the whole family always thought that the wheat noodles were good.

A few days later, Zhang took Lian Zhier and Lian Man'er to bread dumplings with the new wheat, rolled out noodles, steamed flower rolls, buns, etc.

"Apart from the black spots, they are not that thin, and nothing else is worse than the white flour we bought." Zhang said.

Indeed, this wheat noodles can be rolled out with very thin dumpling skins and rolled out noodles, as strong as white noodles, and will not break.

After a family's tasting, Lian Man'er was even more sure that as long as the wheat noodles are sold cheaper than white noodles, many people will definitely be willing to buy them.

At this time, all the wheat had been finished and weighed and collected into the granary.

The spring wheat of ten acres of land produced a total of 3,450 kilograms of wheat.

Lianman'er's wheat planting uses high-quality land, sufficient manure, and careful care. Even if other families do not have these conditions and the harvest is slightly worse, it can be promoted to plant.

Because of grinding new wheat noodles, Lian Man'er's house delivered some steamed buns to the temple again, and the dumplings were made to Wu Yuchang's house.

It was just a common exchange between the merchants. Before Lian Man'er could do anything, someone came to ask Lian Shouxin about the wheat seeds and harvesting, and asked to buy wheat seeds from Lian Shouxin. It turned out that when Lian Man'er's family planted wheat, they received a lot of attention. Now everyone saw that her family's wheat harvest was good, and the food made from ground wheat noodles was delicious, so they also had the idea of ​​planting wheat.

If you plant wheat, you can keep it at home to eat it, which will improve your life. Even if there are not many fields and people who live in wealth, you can plant wheat. As long as you spend more energy to serve it, you can harvest it and sell it to the market. Then you can buy sorghum, millet, etc. with lower prices, and you can eat more than before.

"I think we can sell wheat seeds. It's the price. How can we set it?" Lian Shouxin discussed with his wife and children.

Liaodong Prefecture has not grown wheat yet. If you want to buy wheat seeds, you have to go to foreign governments, such as Hejian Prefecture, to buy them. Obviously, this is not something that everyone can do. Naturally, everyone is more willing to buy at Lian Man'er's house.

"We spent 26 cents per catty on buying wheat seeds in Hejian Man's house." Lian Man'er thought for a while and said, "Then let's sell wheat seeds, so we can set 30 cents per catty."

Including the round-trip money purchased from the foreign government, the price is considered preferential, of course this is not included in manual labor.

The wheat seeds were set at 30 cents per pound, and even Shoixin was busy leading the long-term workers to screen the wheat seeds. After all, not all the wheat harvested can be planted.

That day, the family ate another dumpling with wheat noodles and Japanese cucumber stuffing. After growing wheat at home, the wheat noodles can be eaten as casually as sorghum rice noodles. Japanese cucumbers are produced in their own vegetable garden, and they do not need meat. Just add more oil and season them well and you can eat dumplings with fragrant noodles and watery fillings.

After dinner, Lian Man'er took out the account book and sold a lot of wheat seeds these days and made another money.

"Selling seeds to others, of course we all choose the best ones, so we have to keep more of them..." Lian Shouxin said.

Everyone was planning to plant spring wheat next year, but Lian Man'er had already started thinking about something else.

"...We have to buy wheat seeds too." Lian Man'er said.

The whole family was stunned.

"It's not spring wheat, it's winter wheat." Lian Man'er said.
