Chapter 451 Researching New Food
The farmers who got the hawthorn slices couldn't wait to go home and share the joy with their families, and their pace became faster.
After collecting the goods from the village, we didn’t expect that there were still goods from other villages. They might be a little far away, so everyone arrived a little later.
Zheng Sisi did not show favoritism and gave everyone a portion of hawthorn slices.
This made these honest people feel uneasy. They only accepted it after learning that everyone who came to sell wild hawthorn today would have a share.
Knowing that there would be no delivery tomorrow, they were all glad that they believed the news today, and they also promised to continue picking in the mountains tomorrow.
After seeing everyone off, we started having dinner in the yard. Everyone was tired today, so we went to bed early after dinner because we had agreed to continue picking chestnuts in the mountains tomorrow.
Zheng Sisi spent several days in the kitchen researching new foods with the cooks.
She also asked Sheng Zhen to take people to the river to pick up a lot of firm and smooth pebbles for making sugar-roasted chestnuts. They picked and chose and eliminated a lot of them, and conducted several experiments.
The best way to stir-fry chestnuts is to use quartz sand. I can't find it here, so try using this pebble first. The effect is better than frying directly, and the heat is more even, unlike directly frying where some shells are burnt.
And after repeated stir-frying with sugar and oil, the pebbles become smoother and shinier.
Later, chestnuts were used to make chestnut paste and chestnut cakes.
After the wild pears were picked, he taught the cooks how to make Sichuan Fritillary Pear Paste Candy. Unfortunately, he didn't find honey, otherwise the cough-relieving effect would be better.
At that time, no one was raising honey. The rich families ate wild honey found by hunters in the mountains, and it was very expensive.
Yams are also used to make yam cakes, yam cakes, and candied yam.
After the cellar in Zhuangzi was dug, Zheng Sisi arranged for Sun Zhuangtou to lead people to move the sweet potatoes into the cellar.
She cleaned out the small and rotten ones. She used these small sweet potatoes and pumpkins to teach the cooks how to make sweet potato and pumpkin slices.
During this period, Zheng Sisi also tried to make various delicacies with other ingredients, such as making persimmon cakes with persimmons, making candied haws with hawthorns, and making peanut crisps with peanuts, etc.
Not only does she do it herself, she also personally teaches the cooks how to do it so that they can better master these cooking skills.
At the same time, Zheng Sisi also paid attention to other affairs in the village. She checked the planting conditions of the farmland, took Uncle Li and Xia Sicheng to communicate with the farmers about the growth of crops, and gave them some advice and guidance.
He also determined with the leaders of Sunzhuang the places for growing vegetables in the winter greenhouses, one in the fields and one on the flat land.
She also went to farmers' homes to check on the livestock breeding conditions, ensuring that they were well cared for and had a sufficient supply of feed. Most importantly, Zheng Sisi taught them a lot about hygiene and disease prevention.
I also went to the farm to check on the children's learning situation. I was very satisfied with their learning attitude and rewarded each child with a bag of snacks. These lovely children were very happy. They jumped up and down and said words of gratitude, which was very cute.
In addition, Zheng Sisi also cares about the lives of the residents in the village, talks with them, understands their needs and problems, and tries her best to help solve them.
During this time, Zheng Sisi devoted herself to the management and development of the village. She not only brought new skills and knowledge, but also showed her care and love for the village and its residents.
Her efforts and dedication also won everyone's respect and gratitude, and the atmosphere in the village became more harmonious and friendly.
As the work at Wohushan Farm gradually got on track, Zheng Sisi began to think about her next destination - Zhuangzi in Qingshui County.
That was her own fiefdom. Its geographical location was worse than that of Wohushan Farm, and the innate conditions of the entire county were also poor. There were more challenges and opportunities waiting for her there. She looked forward to continuing to use her talents and wisdom to make greater contributions to the prosperity of the farm.
Before leaving, Zheng Sisi had arranged everything properly.
Let Sun Zhuangtou continue to purchase chicken eggs and duck eggs, and the workshop for producing preserved eggs and salted duck eggs cannot be stopped.
We will continue to purchase wild fruits from the mountains. When they can fill a truck, we will arrange for someone to deliver them to the capital city. Naturally, someone will make the arrangements.
She also specially selected a cook with superb cooking skills to return to the capital, and asked her to bring the cooking skills she learned on the farm as well as carts of fresh wild fruits and selected sweet potatoes, which would be used in the reception building and the food street.
Due to the shortage of manpower, Sun Zhuangtou carefully selected several reliable farmers in the village to be responsible for delivery.
Looking at the cartloads of wild fruits being sent to the capital and walking on the flat concrete road, Zheng Sisi felt much more relaxed both physically and mentally.
