The sweet and thirst-quenching watermelon captured everyone's hearts. Jiang Miao ate one piece and stopped eating. The rest was divided up by Xu Ziwen and others. Shen Yanqing usually didn't like to eat these fruits, but he still didn't avoid the watermelon. Tempted, I gave up after eating two slices.
"My husband, eat less and save some space. There are boiled corn and tomato scrambled eggs waiting for you."
Jiang Miao whispered quietly into his ear. The unique fragrance of a woman mixed with the sweetness of melons and fruits entered his nose. Shen Yan's pure jade-like face was stained with crimson. He covered his face with his hands and responded in a low voice. .
"good."
Jiang Miao and Xu Zilan went out into the kitchen, peeled the corn and put it into the pot to cook, washed the tomatoes and cut them into pieces and put them aside. Jiang Miao took out an empty bowl and knocked the eggs into it.
Xu Zilan had never cooked before, so she couldn't help even if she wanted to, but she was too embarrassed to wait for food, so she had to call Caiyun to help light the fire.
They had all eaten, and now they were not too hungry after eating melon, so Jiang Miao only planned to make a dish of tomato scrambled eggs for everyone to try.
The fragrance of corn came to the face with the steaming mist through the pot lid, and both Caiyun and Xu Zilan couldn't help but sniff.
This was a smell they had never smelled before. They had eaten a lot of rare things with Madam Jiang.
Under the watchful eyes of Xu Zilan's master and servant, Jiang Miao's tomato scrambled eggs were served. She had never tasted the tomato before and didn't know whether it was sour or not, so she put some sugar in it when cooking.
As soon as the dish came out of the dish, I picked up a piece for Xu Zilan to try. The eggs were fried golden, and the soup soaked in tomatoes tasted sweet and sour.
The taste of this dish completely captured Xu Zilan's taste buds. As soon as the egg was in her mouth, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"tasty!"
The tomatoes were sour and sweet. She had never tasted such a dish before. It was very appetizing.
Jiang Miao also ate a piece herself. The eggs were soft, tender and fragrant, and the tomatoes were sour and sweet. She didn’t know what variety it was, but it was no worse than modern tomatoes that had been cultivated for many generations.
Jiang Miao felt that this might be the golden finger of the world in this book. As long as the seeds that could be found were of good varieties, Jiang Miao had higher expectations for the corn in the pot because of the tomatoes. It should also be sweet.
Jiang Miao's prediction was correct. The taste of corn was even better than she imagined. She originally liked it because of its high yield. As for the taste, it was not that important, but if it tasted good, then there would be more food on the people's tables. Delicious.
The corn and tomato scrambled eggs are favored by everyone. The sweet and sour taste of tomatoes is not only liked by young ladies, but also by rough guys like Li Biao Shilei. They can eat three bowls of soup bibimbap alone, not to mention there are also Sweet corn.
Shen Yanqing looked at the corn in his hand thoughtfully and murmured to himself.
"So this is corn..."
"Yes, corn has a high yield. Not only can it be cooked and eaten, cornmeal can be used to steam steamed buns and make noodles, and corn grits can also be used to cook porridge. It is no worse than wheat and rice."
"And this little corn lady is good to eat. It's full and nutritious. It's most suitable as a staple food when losing weight..."
Jiang Miao counted the benefits of corn in detail, and people around her were reluctant to eat it. This is not food, this is a treasure.
The more Xu Ziwen listened, the brighter his eyes became. What others heard was benefits, and what he heard was business opportunities. If he got this corn, he would definitely be able to sell it at a great price and become a hit in the capital. Not to mention that Jiang Miao also had tomatoes and watermelons here. He could get any of them. You will be robbed whenever you go out.
"Sister-in-law, I wonder if you can sell your corn, watermelon and tomatoes?"
If it was for sale, he would buy it all.
Jiang Miao nodded and shook her head, leaving Xu Ziwen confused. What did she mean?
Jiang Miao smiled and said, "Corn and tomatoes are not for sale for the time being. I don't grow much, so I have to save these."
Especially corn, which is a new crop discovered in the Yan Dynasty. It was a precious grain in ancient times, not to mention a high-yielding grain. It will be promoted next year.
Speaking of tomatoes, she also planted half an acre of land. After removing the seeds, the rest was not enough to be sold in the food court shop, and she also wanted to make tomato hot pot and tomato sauce.
The potatoes in the field were about to mature, and the French fries and tomato sauce were a perfect match. How could they be separated, so she regarded the tomatoes in the half-acre of land as a treasure and was reluctant to sell any of them.
"But although I don't sell corn and tomatoes, I can sell watermelons."
Jiang Miao had her own plan in mind. This watermelon is a rare vegetable and fruit, and the quantity is now small. Before large-scale planting, Jiang Miao must think of ways to make money from it.
There was no way, who made her so poor? She and Shen Yanqing were supporting the entire people of Zhenjiang Prefecture. If she didn't work hard to make money, she would have to wait to starve to death.
"Watermelons are also fine. The Xu family has a fruit and vegetable shop in the capital. When the time comes, they will sell watermelons in the shop. My shop is in a good location and has a bright floor. Many housekeepers from princes and noble families will come to buy. I will definitely not lose money to my sister-in-law. .”
When it comes to family business, Xu Ziwen is very reasonable. Compared with being an official, he still feels more comfortable doing business. Unfortunately, his father feels that the status of businessmen is low and insists on letting him take the exam.
"Okay, but you also know that my watermelons are hard to come by. We only have this acre of land in Yan Dynasty, so the price must not be lowered!"
Jiang Miao told Xu Ziwen her idea, and Xu Ziwen nodded in praise.
"My sister-in-law is still great. This method is feasible. I will do it when I return to the capital!"
The two reached a cooperation and were waiting to pick the watermelons and transport them to the capital. Xu Ziwen did not expect that he was just here to deliver supplies and could also negotiate a business for his family.
What Xu Ziwen didn't know yet was that it was precisely because of this cooperation that the Xu family was able to go further in the future, and the Xu family even treated Jiang Miao and his wife as honored guests. Of course, this is all a story later.
On the second day after the Xu family's brother and sister arrived, the Shen family's second wife and Mrs. Zhang also arrived. Ever since Father Shen and Mrs. Zhang learned that Jiang Miao wanted them to help harvest crops, they hurriedly packed their luggage at home and asked Shen Laoer to hire two trucks. The carriage came immediately.
Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao didn't expect them to arrive so quickly. They didn't know until they were notified by the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate that they hurried out of the city.
After receiving the news, Dafang and Shen Yingxue also went out of the city to greet them. They are now running their own shops. Because the business is good, they earned ten taels of silver in just one month. Boss Shen and Mr. Wang both had smiles on their faces and wore new clothes. His clothes make him look several years younger.
Shen Yingxue followed them. As soon as they left the city, she saw the carriage outside. She was about to step forward to say hello with a smile on her face. When she saw someone getting off the carriage behind, the smile on Shen Yingxue's face froze.
