Chapter 125 Probing
These more than 50 refugees became loyal supporters of the Lin family's improved varieties in the later days. When the Lin family's improved varieties were first promoted, they encouraged people in their villages to buy the Lin family's improved varieties. .
The soybeans that the Lin family harvested this time were all good varieties selected by Lin Xiazhi. Six times the seeds were wasted when they were selected, but the soybeans grown were big and round, and the yield was still high.
Lin Xiazhi tried to use these soybeans to make tofu, and the taste was better than that of ordinary beans.
This allowed Lin Xiazhi to confirm that the good varieties that Golden Finger believes are not only high in yield, but also good in taste.
In addition, the Lin family also planted tomatoes on half an acre of land, and these tomatoes are also ripening one after another this month, because there are not many seeds in the tomatoes. Let the buddies in the tofu room pick tomatoes.
Besides the people from the tofu shop, Lin Xiaoqiu also took Lin Xiaodong and Zhao Nan to help.
Pick once a day, half an hour at a time to pick all the tomatoes that are red that day, if you pick a lot of good ones, you will be given ten coins as a reward, and others will be paid eight coins, which motivates them to work hard when picking tomatoes .
Tomatoes, like cucumbers, can be used as fruits and vegetables, and can also be used as seasonings. Putting some tomatoes when cooking can increase the umami taste.
There are not many fresh tomatoes, but the preservation time after making tomato sauce is greatly extended, and it can be considered to be shipped to other places for sale. Lin Xiazhi thinks that tomato sauce can become another industry in Linjia Village in the future, and let the villagers help him make money.
Foods like ketchup that have no technical content and can be researched as long as there are tomatoes are too easy to be imitated. Lin Xiazhi is not going to let the Lin family do it.
After a large number of ripe fresh tomatoes are picked, the buddies cut the tomatoes and remove the seeds. The tomato meat can also be used to make tomato sauce.
The advantage of buying a servant at home is that Lin Xiazhi only needs to talk about it, and someone will naturally prepare the ketchup and bring it to him.
In addition to tomato sauce, fresh tomatoes can also be used for cooking, the simplest cold tomato, tomato scrambled eggs, tomato stewed fish, tomato scrambled tofu, tomato fish ball soup...
Basically, there will be one or two tomato dishes every day, and there are no heavy dishes. Not only are these dishes available on the Lin family's dining table, but also several tomato dishes have been added to the menu of Jufulou.
The taste of tomato is sour and sweet, more appetizing. Brothers-in-law like this taste very much. In addition, Jufulou said that the dishes made of tomatoes can only be sold for one month this year, so those who like tomatoes can't wait to eat it every day. Come here to eat, even if the size of Jufulou in Jiangning County has doubled now, you still have to queue up if you come late.
In fact, Jufulou’s words are not wrong. Fresh tomatoes are only available in this month this year, but there will be ketchup to eat later. Fresh tomatoes and ketchup are different in taste and method, so they cannot be counted. Make a dish.
A few days ago, Cheng Wenliu told the county magistrate about Tudou. After receiving the news, the county magistrate sent someone to Linjia Village to inquire about the situation.
Although the plague of locusts is rampant this year, most of them are in the north. The southern part of Jingguo's land is mostly affected by the disaster, but it doesn't mean that Jingguo people's lives are rich. There are still many people who can't eat rice and can only rely on wild vegetables for food. day.
The county magistrate has eaten potatoes, and he feels that potatoes are better than sweet potatoes or other coarse grains in terms of yield and taste. If potato cultivation can be popularized in Jingguo, let alone a normal harvest year, even in a famine year, everyone will not be afraid of starvation .People depend on food, and it is his responsibility as a parent official to make the common people full.
Zhezi went from Jiangling County to Lishui County smoothly, and the sheriff of Lishui County didn't see this Zhezi until two days later.
In the beginning, he almost threw out the booklet. What was written on it seemed like nonsense to the sheriff, but he thought that the county magistrate of Jiangning County was always a pragmatic person, so he read it patiently.
The more he looked at him, the more he frowned, and his fingertips kept tapping on the table. This was the county guard's habit of thinking about problems. The booklet clearly wrote down the habits, planting rules and precautions of potatoes, and even wrote It is clear that the potatoes were brought from other places by the Cheng family caravan, and the Lin family in Linjia Village was the first to plant them.
It should not be nonsense to write such details. The county guard only needs to send someone to check. If the potatoes written on it are true, it will be a great achievement that benefits the country and the people.
The sheriff read the Jiangning county magistrate's note three times, put it aside alone, and continued to read the rest.
The next day, an ordinary-looking man rode from the Sheriff's Mansion to the direction of Jiangning County.
It only took half a day to ride a horse from Lishui County to Jiangling County. When the man from the county guard arrived in Jiangning County, it was not time for lunch. He went to Jufulou, which has been very popular in the past year.
"What new dishes does Xiao Er have recently?" Jufulou also opened a branch in Lishui County. Regular customers know that Jufulou often has new dishes, and the taste is not bad.
"The objective question is correct. We have recently added a new food called tomato in Jufulou. This tomato is grown by Lin's family in Linjiacun. The sweet and sour taste is very appetizing. Now there are tomato stewed fish in the store. , tomato ball soup, tomato cold salad, would you like to have two servings to try something new?" Xiao Er enthusiastically introduced.
"Lin Family Village? Lin Family? Are they the only ones that have this thing called tomato?" the man asked.
"It seems that the guest officer is not from our Jiangling County. The Lin family in Linjia Village not only grows tomatoes, they also grow potatoes. Have you ever eaten potatoes?" The guys in these restaurants are also willing to explain a few words to their guests. If a customer really listens to his words and eats these, this is his commission.
"As for potatoes, you won't be able to taste them today. Today's potatoes are sold out. If you want to try potatoes, please come early tomorrow."
"Potatoes look similar to sweet potatoes, but the taste is much better than sweet potatoes, and the yield is very high."
"It's just that the Lin family doesn't have many potatoes right now, so the potatoes will be sold in limited quantities. When the production of potatoes increases next year, you can eat potatoes anytime."
"I recommend another dish to you. You must have eaten Lin's tofu. Let me talk about stewed vermicelli with pork and sauerkraut."
"This is also one of our chef's specialty dishes. You can't eat sauerkraut anywhere else. It's made by the Lin family, and the vermicelli is also from the Lin family..."
Cheng Wenliu now asks the shop assistants in his shop to sell potatoes as much as possible. In addition to potatoes, the Lin family's tomatoes, tofu, vermicelli, and sauerkraut can also be mentioned, so that the Lin family can gradually enter the public's field of vision.
The guy talked on the phone for a long time, and the man from Lishui County ordered stewed noodles with pork and sauerkraut, cold tomato, stewed fish with tomato, and tomato ball soup according to his recommendation. He gave the guy to Lede, and ordered four for one person. For one dish, he has a commission for four dishes.
After having lunch in Jufulou, the man went straight to the Lin family village. From the description of the man, the Lin family in Lin family village made a lot of things, and he became more and more curious about the Lin family.
Because Linjiacun often has some outsiders doing business with the outside world, and everyone is not very vigilant about this man. He asked some things about Linjiacun and Linjia. told him.
As for the Lin family village, the Lin family also unknowingly told the man about the high-yield potatoes, two rounds of rice a year, and the bumper soybean harvest.
Hearing more things than the master told him, the man was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
He ran to see the two acres of paddy fields of the Lin family, as well as the sweet potatoes and potatoes that had just been planted.
People in the village are not surprised by the behavior of these outsiders. Every time newcomers hear what they say, they will go to see the paddy fields of the Lin family. When he said that he would teach them how to grow rice in two rounds, the villagers became very enthusiastic.
From the words of these villagers, it can be heard that they all know these things about the Lin family and they are not fake. In this way, what the master asked him to investigate should be true.
After inquiring around in Linjia Village, the man bought ten catties of bean curd sticks and ten catties of bean stems and left.
After he left, the villagers murmured that this man seemed to be well dressed, and he didn't expect to buy such a little thing.
Naturally, the Lin family didn't know about this little episode. They were busy with Lin Chengzu's marriage right now, and the wedding date was only two days away.
With Lin Chengzu's current status in Linjiacun, his marriage must be held grandly.
The Yang family didn't have any relatives, but anyone in the Lin family village would come to Lin Chengzu's wedding banquet if they had brains, so the Lin family had to find a place big enough to hold the banquet.
At this time, Li Zheng approached them on his own initiative, suggesting that the large open space in the middle of the village could be used, which solved the Lin family's troubles.
The Lin family has a lot of money now, so there is no need to buy all new things for a wedding banquet. The wedding banquet tables and stools are borrowed from various households in the village. When borrowing tables, try to find the same size and shape, and the stools are the same.
At this time, Lin Xiazhi suddenly discovered that it is good for these old carpenters to stick to the rules. He went out to borrow tables, which were either round or square, without those strange shapes.
At that time, each table will be covered with red cloth, and a small section of red string will be tied behind the stool, which looks unified and festive.
Lin Xiazhi planned to set up a hundred tables in Linjiacun. He estimated that the villagers could make [-] tables, people from the Li family could sit at one table, and those businessmen who did business with the Lin family might also come, and the rest were not full. It doesn't matter, just let the villagers take back the extra food, as long as there is no situation where people can't sit down when they come.
These were all prepared in advance, and the ingredients were also prepared a day in advance. Everything was ready, and the only thing left was for the bride-to-be to arrive at Linjiacun.
