The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 163 Potato Flour

"Then do as you said, Uncle Xiang, buy a big horse, a small horse, and only one carriage for the time being." Hesitating for a while, Lin Xiazhi continued to say to Xiangbo, "Xiangbo, I I want to ride a horse too, you said—”

Xiangbo bowed his hands to Lin Xiazhi: "Second young master, don't worry, if you want to ride a horse, I'll just buy a gentle one when I buy a horse. It can pull a carriage, and you can also go out on a regular basis, but you have to find someone who can ride a horse." people teach."

"Row."

Lin Xiazhi handed over the matter of buying horses to Uncle Xiang, and within two days he led two horses, one large and one small, and a carriage to Linjiacun.

This is terrible, horses and carriages have always been the symbols of wealthy households, which shows that the Lin family is completely developed.

Fortunately, the village names of the Lin family village have seen a lot of rare things about the Lin family. When they saw the Lin family bought a carriage and came back, they only talked about it in surprise for a while before going to busy with their own affairs.

It has only been a couple of years since the Lin family made a fortune, and now there are workshops in their village. Everyone works hard and can always save a family property for future generations. The rich landlords can't do it, and it is always no problem to become a rich peasant.

The two starch rooms newly built by the Lin family have been working for almost a month, and a lot of dried starch has accumulated, including more than 1000 catties of sweet potato starch and more than 700 catties of potato starch.

Lin Chengzu made a special room behind the starch room for storing starch, Lin Chengzu couldn't help running to ask Lin Xiazhi what he was going to do with the starch.

"Brother, sweet potato flour is made from sweet potato starch, and potatoes also have starch. Think about it, can you try making vermicelli with potato starch?" Lin Xiazhi reminded him.

When Lin Xiazhi said this, Lin Chengzu immediately understood that besides potato starch can be used to make potato flour, it is also possible to make jelly from potato starch.

Seeing that Lin Chengzu understood, Lin Xiazhi continued: "In addition, besides making the vermicelli into long strips, can you try to make other shapes? After adding other pigments and seasonings, can you make different colors? , taste?"

Lin Xiazhi thought of the pasta that I ate before. There are many shapes of pasta. Later, Chinese noodles also developed many shapes, and what kind of vegetable juice, carrot juice and so on were added. The noodles made in this way are better than ordinary noodles. More expensive, the Lin family can also develop in those directions.

Lin Xiazhi's words seemed to open a new door for Lin Chengzu, yes, cooking and eating can add all kinds of tricks, how could he not think of these!

After Lin Chengzu got the idea from Lin Xiazhi, he immediately went to the tofu shop and arranged for someone to try it.If we can make more types of vermicelli as Xia Geer said, the family business can expand again.

Seeing Lin Chengzu's impatient look, Lin Xiazhi wanted to laugh. He hadn't finished his sentence yet. In fact, he wanted to say that besides these can be used to make flour, other grains can also be tried, such as mixing wheat and starch with cornmeal. , Is it possible to make new food?

Lin Xiazhi is a southerner. He used to hear from his classmates that there are all kinds of noodles in the north, and he has always been curious about those noodles. He wondered if they could make similar ones in Jingguo.

The basic potato flour is very simple to make, just like sweet potato flour, Lin Chengzu brought the finished potato flour to Lin Xiazhi within two days.

Under the influence of his previous life, Lin Xiazhi asked Lin Chengzu to make potato flour that was slightly thicker than sweet potato flour, so the potato flour was slightly whitish after cooking, which was different from the transparent sweet potato flour.

If the two kinds of flour are cooked for the same length of time, the potato flour will be softer than the sweet potato flour. If it is cooked for a longer time, the taste of the two flours will be almost the same.

The reputation of sweet potato flour has been spread, and every month, many passing ship dealers come to Lin's house to pick up sweet potato flour.

Potatoes are currently only circulated in a small area. I don’t know if the court paid attention to them after the county guards and county magistrates played the potatoes. The Lin family did not plan to sell potatoes in large quantities.

How to make potato powder come into everyone's sight and how to become famous needs Lin Xiazhi to think again.

At the beginning, the sweet potato flour was sold in Jufulou, and the diners in Jufulou made the sweet potato flour famous. Could it be possible to use the same method for potato flour?

The viscosity of potato flour is not as high as that of sweet potato flour, and it is easy to get sticky when cooking. It is better to add it to Piaoxiang Shili and cook it with the bottom of the hot skewer.

After Piaoxiang Shili launched the hot and spicy hot skewers, Yang Yusheng researched a mushroom-flavored skewers in his free time, satisfying those who can’t eat spicy food, and pushing Piaoxiang Shili’s reputation to a new height.

People who live in Jiangning County are not natives of Jiangning County if they don't eat something that smells so fragrant.

Before selling them in Piaoxiang Ten Miles, Lin Xiazhi and Yang Yusheng experimented with boiling potato flour at the bottom of a skewer pot at home, and the taste was better than they expected.

"Fortunately, Brother Xia, you asked Chengzu to make the potato flour thicker, so it's just right to eat it hot." Yang Yusheng ate a bowl of spicy food and a bowl of mushroom food. Want to have another bowl.

"Brother, you just ate lunch, and you ate two more bowls of noodles. I really don't know how your stomach can hold so much food." Lin Xiazhi looked at Yang Yusheng's slightly swollen abdomen, and couldn't help sighing. .

Lin Xiazhi was eating potato flour. The taste was similar to hot pot, which made him miss the hot pot in his hometown. To eat hot pot, he had to prepare a special pot and table. Lin Xiazhi was a little too lazy to get it. Besides, eating hot pot in winter is the most comfortable, and it’s better to wait until this winter Let's make hot pot again.

After the potato flour was tasted by everyone in the Lin family, it was added to the menu of ten miles of fragrance.

Piaoxiang Shili often releases new items, and every new item will be discounted and promoted. Regular customers of Piaoxiang Tenli will order one to try.

Things like rice noodles don’t make you hungry, and the amount of food with a fragrance of ten miles is not too much. A serving of potato noodles costs five cents, just a little more than half a tael. An adult man needs to eat five or six bowls to be full, which is the same as the original Liangpi is the same.

"This potato flour is hot, and it's comfortable to eat in winter. Why don't you start selling it in winter, and when the weather gets hotter all day long, this potato flour will not be easy to sell." When the guest wiped his mouth after eating the potato flour, he said Zhou Xiaozhu said.

"The things in our store are all new foods, and they are sold to everyone as soon as they are made. How can it be so coincidental that they just catch up with the season." Zhou Xiaozhu explained to the guests with a smile.

"Hey, after eating your delicious food, I always feel that it's not so good to eat food from other places." This customer is a regular customer. My favorite is Piaoxiang Shili, "It's just that the taste of your home can't be tasted elsewhere. Every time I go out, I always want to come back soon."

Another familiar guest came over and teased: "Boss Zhang is doing big business, but don't lose the order just because of what you said."

Since Piaoxiang Shili used bamboo sticks to check out, Zhou Xiaozhu became a shopkeeper a lot easier. He didn't have to fiddle with the abacus all day long, and he also had time to chat with these regular customers, and learned a little more about business.

More than one guest said that Piaoxiang Shili had a special taste, Zhou Xiaozhu only thought it was the special taste of the seasoning prepared by Yang Yusheng, and never thought of other reasons.

In fact, apart from Yang Yusheng's ability to mix seasonings, it's also because the vegetables used in Piaoxiang Shili are all seeds picked by Lin Xiazhi himself, and the taste of the vegetables grown is inherently better than ordinary vegetables.

The selection of seeds involves Lin Xiazhi's secret, except for Cheng Wenliu who knows a little bit, no one else knows, and they all think that Lin Huzi knows how to grow vegetables.

According to the expectations of the Lin family, potato flour gradually became popular in Jiangning County. More and more people knew about potato flour. The Lin family spread the word through Zhou Xiaozhu that potato flour, like sweet potato flour, can be wholesaled at Lin's family.

Sweet potato flour first came into everyone's attention as a dish, but the world of foodies is connected. Before Lin Xiazhi reminded, people gradually began to sell sweet potato flour as noodles, adding sweet potato flour to the ranks of meals.

Potato flour is no exception. Since potato flour is similar to sweet potato flour, it is natural to add potato flour to meals.Once the market is opened, it will be easy to develop. Gradually, ship merchants will buy some potato flour when they hear the news and come to the Lin family to wholesale sweet potato flour.

Now Lin Chengzu can basically handle the business of the Lin family. He had learned from Cheng Wenliu for a period of time before, so he didn't need Lin Xiazhi, a half-assed person, to guide him.

At the same time, the new houses of the tenant farmers in Beishan Village were also repaired. They asked someone to send a message to Lin Xiazhi, asking him when he would have time to visit.

Lin Xiazhi didn't ask Shang Cheng Wenliu to go with him this time. He brought a few more servants from the Lin family and set off in his newly bought carriage, followed by a donkey cart with several large bags of high-yield soybean seeds on it.

Old Qin did not take the silver given by Lin Xiazhi and use it as silver. He carefully planned every copper plate without wasting a bit. He built four new houses in less than 44 taels, leaving 16 taels of silver and six hundred arts.

This is because they only built the house with the money given by Lin Xiazhi. The tables, stools, bed cabinets, and kitchen outfits in the house were all moved from their old house, and none of them were bought new.

After Lin Xiazhi received the message, he went over and saw that the new house they built was still solid, and he was satisfied. The house built on his farm belonged to Lin Xiazhi.

He took back the remaining 16 taels of silver, and asked Xiangbo to buy a pot, a bag of rice, a pot of oil, and a pot of salt for each of Xiangbo's family. If there was more, it was a moving gift for the four tenant farmers from him, the landlord.

After hearing Lin Xiazhi's words, the tenant farmers were so happy that they thanked them directly. They were uneducated, and they just repeated a few words. Fortunately, the people who said them were sincere and did not make people feel impatient.

After inspecting the new house, Lin Xiazhi showed the soybean seeds: "These are soybean seeds, as you all know, our Lin family is in the tofu business, and most of the dry fields in this farm will be planted with soybeans in the future."

After hearing Lin Xiazhi's words, the tenant farmers immediately became worried.

Some impatient people asked on the spot: "We have planted corn and sweet potatoes according to the requirements of the previous owner. How can we plant soybeans?"

"Three Dogs!" Lao Qin didn't wait for the Lin family to speak, and took the lead to stop this impatient junior.
