Chapter 128 The potatoes are sold out
The next morning, the sun shone on the earth again.
Su Panpan got up early and began to organize everyone to sort the potatoes.
Everyone was busy in an orderly manner, putting potatoes of uniform size and good quality into carefully prepared baskets, while those with slight defects were placed aside separately.
While sorting potatoes, Aunt Liu said with emotion, "Panpan is a reliable child. He has sorted these potatoes so neatly."
Wang Ma also nodded in agreement: "That's right, working with Panpan makes me feel at ease."
After a morning of hard work, all the potatoes were sorted.
In the afternoon, several carriages sent by Mr. Wang arrived at the potato field on time.
The housekeeper looked at the pile of potatoes and nodded with satisfaction: "Miss Su, you really keep your promise. The quality of this batch of potatoes is also very good."
Su Panpan responded with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, butler. This is the result of everyone's concerted efforts."
The housekeeper carefully observed the appearance of the potatoes.
He checks that the potatoes have intact skins and no obvious signs of damage, insect bites, or rot.
"The skin is smooth and the color is good." He initially determined that the quality was good.
Then, the housekeeper randomly picked some potatoes and weighed them in his hands to feel their weight.
Generally speaking, potatoes that are moderately heavy and plump are considered to be more hydrated and nutritious.
Then the housekeeper had a few potatoes cut open to check what was inside.
Only potatoes with a tight internal texture and no black core, hollows, etc. meet the requirements.
At the same time, he also observed the starch content of potatoes. Potatoes with high starch content taste better when cooked and are more popular.
In addition, the housekeeper also asked Su Panpan about the potato planting situation.
Taking into account factors such as appearance, weight, internal texture, starch content and planting conditions, the housekeeper decided to purchase all the potatoes.
One carriage after another transported potatoes to Mr. Wang's warehouse.
There was another batch of potatoes loaded on the carts of Da Niu and Er Niu. Shen Ru and Su Panpan also got on the carts and went to the warehouse.
There was a busy scene in front of the warehouse.
Da Niu, Er Niu and other staff in the warehouse were busy loading potatoes from horse-drawn carts and ox-drawn carts. They were all very enthusiastic.
Erniu was carrying a basket of potatoes and walking briskly, passing the basket of potatoes back and forth quickly between their hands.
"Be careful, put it down gently!" The housekeeper gave instructions in an orderly manner and checked the transportation of the potatoes from time to time.
After all the potatoes were moved into the warehouse, the housekeeper arranged for people to start weighing the potatoes.
Several guys brought a large scale and carefully weighed the baskets of potatoes.
As the weight swung, in the end, the potatoes weighed 12,000 kilograms.
The housekeeper said to Su Panpan with a smile on his face, "Master Wang was very satisfied after seeing your potatoes. Potatoes usually sell for six cents per pound on the market, but these potatoes are of good quality. I will buy them at double the price I agreed on, twelve cents per pound. Twelve thousand pounds of potatoes, one hundred and forty-four taels of silver."
"Thank you, Butler Fang."
After Su Panpan received the payment for the goods, she was overjoyed and felt relieved.
After saying goodbye to Butler Fang, she wanted to reward everyone, so she went to the market.
She carefully selected the ingredients and bought pork tripe, chicken, crab, dried bamboo shoots, pork belly, a duck, two grass carps, and fatty intestines.
After returning home, Su Panpan immediately started to get busy, and Shen Ru helped her.
Shen Ru skillfully washed the ingredients and placed the necessary seasonings on the stove one by one so that Su Panpan could use them at any time.
Su Panpan peeled and chopped the garlic, prepared the chili peppers, garlic sprouts, and various seasonings.
Shen Ru began to be responsible for making the fire.
Qin Youwen also helped kill the ducks.
"Second uncle, put the duck blood in a bowl." Su Panpan handed a bowl to Qin Youwen.
"it is good."
Clean the pig's stomach, cut it into strips, chop the chicken into small pieces, add ginger slices, red dates, and chestnuts and put them in the back pot to stew.
In the front wok, pour the pork belly into the stir-fry to release the fat, add salt, soy sauce, cinnamon, star anise, rock sugar and other spices to stir-fry until fragrant, finally add water and put in the soaked bamboo shoots and simmer for an hour, then serve.
The color is bright red, and the unique aroma of dried bamboo shoots and the rich and mellow aroma of pork belly hit your nose.
The aroma of the pork tripe and chicken soup in the back pot also slowly spread.
Su Panpan cut the grass carp into thin slices and rolled it in the hot soup. The spicy and fragrant taste stimulated people's taste buds.
With a "sizzle", hot oil was poured into the spicy boiled fish pot, and a handful of chopped green onions were sprinkled in, and the aroma was intoxicating.
Qin Youwen killed the duck and now began to chop it into small pieces according to Su Panpan's request.
After a while, the lotus blood duck gradually took shape under Su Panpan's skillful hands.
The fresh duck blood and duck meat are perfectly blended, and with the unique seasoning, the rich aroma lingers in the kitchen.
She went to the back room and brought out a bowl of pickled radish, preparing to make stir-fried pork intestines with pickled cabbage.
The pork intestines and pickled radish are also ready. The unique taste of the pork intestines and the refreshing pickled radish complement each other, which greatly stimulates your appetite.
"Panpan, your cooking skills are getting better and better." Shen Ru said with a smile.
Su Panpan responded while stirring the dishes in the pot: "Thanks to your help, otherwise I can't handle it alone."
The dishes gradually came out of the pot, and the aroma filled the air.
Su Panpan remembered that she had not invited everyone to dinner yet, so she quickly asked Erniu to invite all the people who had helped to come to the yard for dinner.
"Erniu, go and invite everyone who helped to have dinner." Su Panpan ordered.
Erniu responded and ran out immediately.
Su Panpan thought that there might not be enough tables, so she said to Qin Youwen, "Second Uncle, please bring your table over. There are so many people, three tables are enough."
Qin Youwen agreed readily and moved the table over in a short while.
In the yard, three tables were neatly arranged, waiting for everyone to arrive.
The radish balls and lard residue from the back room were also taken out and heated in oil.
Then cut the newly made sausages and steam them.
Three plates of freshly made fermented tofu and pickled radish were also brought out.
Finally, Su Panpan began to steam the big crabs she bought, more than 70 of them, filling three large basins.
Su Panpan also carefully prepared red envelopes, money bags and small gifts.
She placed the red envelopes neatly aside, each containing 35 coins.
For the children, she prepared a bag filled with various small cakes, biscuits and snack beans.
After a while, everyone came to the yard one after another.
When the children saw the small bags, their eyes lit up and they happily surrounded Su Panpan.
"Aunt Panpan, are these all for us?" asked Baoer, a girl with braids.
Su Panpan smiled and touched her head, saying, "Of course, these are all for you."
Big crab, braised pork with bamboo shoots, pork tripe and chestnut chicken soup, pickled pork intestines, spicy boiled fish, lotus blood duck, steamed sausage, chrysanthemum with garlic, fried radish meatballs, lard residue, fermented tofu, pickled radish.
Three tables were filled with food, and the yard was filled with the aroma of food.
