Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 432 Delicious Bean Sprouts

"I only gave you this price because I think you really want to buy it."

An Yue nodded, smiled and pointed around, saying, "Boss, you know that now that various natural disasters have just passed, there are very few people buying cattle, horses and mules."

"I bought a mule because my family runs a small business, and I want to make it easier for my family to travel and occasionally transport some goods."

"If you can offer a lower price, I will definitely introduce my relatives and friends in the village to you when they buy from me in the future."

......

After some bargaining, he finally bought the mule for fifteen taels of silver.

After buying the mule, An Yue went to the livestock farm to buy mule cart equipment and fodder.

After the mule had eaten its fill, Daniu put the harness on the newly bought mule. Daniu tested the mule's temperament and found that it was very docile.

Then they left the ranch.

An Yue prepared to go to the spice shop to buy some more spices.

Along the way, Daniu led the mule and occasionally touched the mule, with a smile on his face.

Daniu smiled happily and said, "It will be convenient for the whole family to go out...travel."

An Yue, who was sitting on the mule cart at the back, also responded with a smile, "Yes! We can carry some firewood from home to the shop in the future."

Daniu smiled and stammered, "Yes, yes, no need to spend money to buy firewood."

The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the food and spice shop.

An Yue walked into a shop, and the various spices inside hit her face.

An Yue looked at the shelves full of spices and began to calculate the types and quantities of spices needed for malatang.

She thought that she had peppercorns at home, so she didn't need to buy more.

However, other spices are also used in Malatang.

For example; star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, dried chili peppers, sesame seeds, fennel, spicy food, cooked peanuts, etc.

An Yue plans to buy more dried chili peppers, the kind that are brightly colored and not particularly spicy.

After the dried chilies are cut into powder, red oil is prepared, which can add a spicy layer to the malatang and color to the soup base.

Fresh chili peppers can enhance the spicy taste on the tongue, and paired with sesame seeds and peanuts can increase appetite.

An Yue asked the shopkeeper about the prices of various spices and bought a little of each.

......

Soon, the shopkeeper packed up the spices and An Yue paid the money.

An Yue walked out of the shop carrying the bag of spices and went straight to find Da Niu.

After buying the spices, An Yue and Daniu drove the mule cart and prepared to return to Shijing Town.

She had been to the county town many times, but only this time did An Yue feel unprecedented joy and peace of mind.

From now on, I no longer have to share a mule cart with others. I can come to the county town anytime I want.

The mule cart was bumpy and shaking along the way, but An Yue didn't feel sleepy at all.

......

When the two returned to Shijing Town, it was already past noon.

Da Niu drove the mule cart to the backyard, removed the frame from the mule, and tied the mule in the corner of the backyard.

Afterwards, An Yue and Daniu went to the hall in the backyard and drank some hot water.

Da Niu wiped the corners of his mouth happily and went to the kitchen in the front hall to help.

An Yue also came to the dining room and looked at the dining room full of customers.

She secretly said in her heart: [Although I spent dozens of taels of silver to buy the mule cart, now I have both income and expenditure, and I will earn it back in no time. ]

She walked to the counter and counted the dishes in the basket with Chunzhi, and then settled the bill for the customers.

......

During the busy days of the family, An Yue not only worries about various matters in the shop every day.

She would occasionally water the bean sprouts she grew in the backyard.

Before I knew it, many days had passed.

This day.

Chenshi.

The whole family is busy, while An Yue has some free time.

She walked to the corner of the backyard, squatted down, slowly removed the straw, and checked the growth of the bean sprouts in the sand.

As soon as the straw was removed, we saw a lot of soybeans poking their heads out of the sand.

She was sure that the soybeans had turned into bean sprouts.

An Yue quickly used her hands to gently push away the sand, only to see densely packed bean sprouts growing in the sand.

She picked up a few bean sprouts from the sand, placed them in her palm, and looked at them carefully.

Each bean sprout is as long as a finger, and the smell of bean sprouts rushes straight to your head.

She looked at the tender bean sprouts in her hands, her heart filled with joy.

Chunzhi and Axia went to the hall to drink water and saw Anyue squatting in the corner. They walked behind Anyue curiously.

Chunzhi quickly asked, "Miss, is this the bean sprout you were talking about?"

An Yue stood up, handed them a few bean sprouts, and said with a smile: "Yes! These are bean sprouts."

"Bean sprouts are a rare fresh vegetable in winter. They taste fresh and tender, and are rich in nutrients."

Chunzhi put it to the tip of her nose, sniffed it, and asked, "Miss, how do you eat these bean sprouts?"

An Yue patted the sand on her hands, stood up and said, "Bean sprouts can be stir-fried, stewed with vinegar, or stewed with pork and bean sprouts. They can also be blanched in boiling water and made into a salad."

Chunzhi tilted her head and smiled, "There are many ways to eat this. I really want to try it now."

An Yue smiled and doted on him, "You! You are the greediest one!"

Axia, who was standing by, brought the bean sprouts close to her nose and smelled them, also looking surprised.

"Miss, these bean sprouts have a unique smell and look delicious!"

Chunzhi and Axia both smiled secretly.

Chunzhi smiled and said, "That's great. We have added fresh vegetables to our shop."

An Yue took the basket next to her and said, "Come, let's collect some bean sprouts first. After we clean them, we'll ask Daniu and the others to make a spicy hot pot for everyone to taste."

Then, the three of them squatted in the corner and pulled the bean sprouts out of the sand one by one.

In a short while, they had collected half a basket.

After Chunzhi and Axia washed the bean sprouts, they carried them to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Da Niu and A Le were cooking the soup base for the spicy hot pot.

They saw Chunzhi and Axia coming in with baskets, and Ale asked, "What is this?"

Chunzhi explained, "These are bean sprouts that the young lady cultivated. They were just collected from the sand and cleaned."

Axia added: "Miss said that during lunch, let Brother Daniu and Brother Ale cook the bean sprouts in the spicy hot pot so that everyone can taste it."

Daniu and Ale picked up a few bean sprouts, looked at them carefully, and smelled them.

Da Niu stuttered and said, "Look at this dish...it looks really fresh, it must be...very delicious."

......

After noon.

There were fewer customers in the shop, and the family began to prepare lunch.

Daniu and Ale cooked a big bowl of spicy hot pot with various vegetables and a lot of bean sprouts.

Everyone couldn't wait to taste the fresh bean sprouts.

My aunt said, "The bean sprouts are very crisp and tender, really good."

Ale nodded while eating and praised:
