Chapter 54 Sprouts
"Brother Heng, look, this is the beans sprouting. Does it mean that spring has arrived?" The children are not good at this place. Once they arrive in Yang Heng's room, they look around like puppies, and even don't miss them in the corners. It seems that Yang Heng is hiding something. This is actually a habit for the children. Now they are curious about everything.
"This child is still early in spring. If you want to talk about the beginning of spring, it may have passed long ago, but this spring that really makes all things sprout has not yet arrived." Yang Heng said with a smile.
"Brother Heng, why did these beans sprout?" Xiao Niang shouted, and she was holding a soybean with long teeth in her hand, and even a little green leaf emerged between the two beans.
"Oh, forget this, Xiaoniang, where did you find it?" Yang Heng suddenly screamed. He was thinking about how to eat a bite of green vegetables in this winter, but he actually forgot such an important thing, that is sprouts. You know, in the era when there were no greenhouses, in addition to eating easy-to-storage vegetables in winter, there were these sprouts. Yang Heng had thought about building a greenhouse. But in this era, if you asked him to plant a greenhouse, you might only have to grow leeks, garlic, and mushrooms. But he has been here for a short time, and this family is just starting out, so how can you find all the seeds at once, so he had to take it slowly, but now he reminded me of something.
"Ji, wasn't it just found here?" Xiao Niang pointed in the gap between the pot and the water tank. This little girl was really a mouse. She turned over such a corner of places. It seemed that Yang Heng fell into it at some point. This place satisfies the conditions for soybeans to sprout, namely humidity, temperature, and naturally, it sprouts. But why did she see this by chance? It should be that there were more vegetables to eat this winter.
"Come on, Brother Da, come to me and leave it to you." Yang Heng originally wanted to do it himself, but then he thought that I am a servant, so how could I do everything by myself? Besides, in this winter, there is nothing to do, and Brother Da feels very embarrassed. How can I let the master's family be in vain? And they usually eat the same food as the master's family, and they both have three meals a day. You know, even the home of the wealthy family where Sister Lian was before, there were only two meals a day. This is not to say that they can't afford it, but they think that they have to live frugality in this life. But judging by their usual waste, it is really hard to say that one less meal is frugal or waste, and I don't know how these people planned it.
"Here, come, little husband, I have work to do." When Da Ge heard Yang Heng's greeting, he ran in excitedly. The three servants bought by his father were all unrestrained. When he heard that he had something to do, he ran faster than a rabbit.
"There is such a thing. Brother Da, come and get two kilograms of soybeans. I will teach you a way to grow bean sprouts. Next we will have bean sprouts." "Bean sprouts, I heard from my mother that my family has never given birth to them, and even my previous neighbors have never given birth to them. I didn't expect that you still know this, so I'll go right away."
The bean sprouts are easy to grow. They soak the beans, remove some bad beans, filter the water dry, then put the beans in a basin, find something to cover them, and then place them in a warm place. Just pay attention to sprinkling some water frequently, or filter them with warm water, and the beans will sprout within three or five days, and you can eat them in a few days.
"Little Brother, Xiao Langjun, sprouted, sprouted." A few days later, Brother Da ran over shouting and shouting, "That, Brother Da, steady, steady, this is what I asked you to do. If you say it does not sprout, then will it not give me face, or do you have not done your best?"
"That, this, me." "Okay, okay, Brother Da, let's go and see how long the bud is. You guys come with me, and look at your horny look."
Sure enough, these soybeans have sprouted, each soybean is fat, and the buds they emit are also crystal clear, just a little short, but three to five millimeters, "Well, okay, Brother Da, you continue to let them sprout until the sprout grows to an inch long. Otherwise, let's stir-fry a sprout first. If you have such a long sprout, you will naturally have its flavor in it when stir-frying." "Oh, good, good, good we have sprouts." Yang Heng didn't
He looked excited, but the children were excited. There were too few vegetables for winter, and the dried vegetables had already eaten up. You know, Yang Heng just experimentally drank some dried vegetables. If someone could predict the weather accurately, he might have posted a large amount of dried vegetables. But at this time, it was really difficult to find such people, but there were. Could he serve Yang Heng specifically to dry vegetables? He had already gone to the court.
"Brother Da, that's what I think. In the future, the sprouts will have more. Also, you can grow mung beans. The mung bean sprouts are longer and the beans are still small. Besides, I remember that I harvested a lot of radish seeds last year, so you soaked some, but the radish seeds are not sprouting like this, but they have to put them in a shallow container. If you can, go and find my uncle to make a wooden plate, and sprout in the wooden plate, but you have to cover it with a layer of burlap. In this way, the radish sprouts will emerge from the holes of the coarse cloth. When it grows more than half an inch tall and two small green leaves, this is a raw sprout."
"Okay, okay, do it right away." This is good with servants. Just explain what they do, and servants will do it properly.
When Yang Heng told Da Ge, the children were looking at him eagerly, waiting to eat sprouts. This was a fresh food, but I had never eaten it before.
"Okay, okay, greedy cats, even if we have a small meal today," the sprouts are still too few. Even if the children eat them, they are just trying them out. But I feel wronged. Yang Heng dared not let me come and try them out.
