Yang Fan took some time to take some water from Flowerflower Creek, and the piece of barren land inside the Jade Pendant Space had already started to become moist. Yang Fan planned to plant some soybeans and peanuts to improve the soil environment, and then plant some fruit trees to see if the fruits grown bigger than normal fruits by using Spatial Springs.
If one wanted to plant soybeans and peanuts, one did not need to go to the agricultural technology station to buy seeds. Many farmers had their own, Yang Fan's family had also planted more than an acre of soybeans and half an acre of peanuts.
Soybeans were similar to peanuts, the cycle from planting to harvesting was about four months, the space in the jade pendant had ten times the acceleration, plus the space spirit spring water, it was estimated that in less than ten days, harvesting would be possible.
However, in the past few days, a large number of vegetables and fruits had matured in the jade pendant space, and the thatched cottage was not able to contain them. Yang Fan simply made tomato sauce and chilli sauce.
There were too many watermelons to eat, and Yang Fan didn't want to sell them, so giving them away was even worse. One or two was still acceptable, but what would happen if you gave them away a hundred and eighty times? No wonder it wasn't suspicious.
As a result, Yang Fan planned to turn the watermelon into a watermelon sauce. Watermelon sauce was the best dish, and its color was rosy. The sauce was pure, and it was very popular no matter if it was used as an auxiliary ingredient for cooking or fried alone.
Watermelon sauce was rich in nutrition and had an advantage over watermelons in certain aspects. Once used, it could be sold at a higher price than the tomato sauce and chilli sauce that Yang Fan produced.
Actually, May is not a good season for sunning watermelon sauce. The best time for drying watermelon sauce is after several volts, the weather is sultry and humid after three volts, which is a good time for sauce fermentation. It can save time and get a more delicious sauce.
However, Yang Fan didn't have to worry about time when the space within the jade pendant was ten times faster. The problem was that more and more watermelons matured, and it wouldn't even last two months.
Yang Fan found the soybeans from the warehouse and placed them on a water bubble, letting the water exceed the beans. This time, he didn't use any Spatial Springs, in case the Spatial Springs was too strong, he could finish the bean sprouts.
Unfortunately, the soybeans in the space of the jade pendant had yet to grow. If the soybeans in the space spring had been used to make the watermelon sauce, it would probably be even more delicious.
The beans had been soaked for about three or four hours, and they were boiled in a pot, because the beans had already been soaked, so it was easy to cook them.
After boiling it for a while, Yang Fan tasted it and found that the beans had already been cooked. He used a strainer to fish them out and put them in the grill to cool.
Next, Yang Fan spread the flour evenly on the panel, and then placed the beans on top of it. He rubbed the beans with his palms back and forth, making the beans roll evenly onto the flour.
After laying the grass that he had prepared beforehand, Yang Fan spread the beans evenly on top of it. He covered them with a thick layer of grass, covered them with a thick blanket, and even poured some water on the blanket.
All of this was accomplished by Yang Fan in the space within the jade pendant. After that, Yang Fan left the space and waited for a few hours. When he entered again, two or three days had already passed and Yang Fan discovered that the beans had grown a layer of white fur.
After leaving the Space Beauty for the night, Yang Fan entered the Space again. It had already been four to five days, and the white fur on the bean had already turned yellow. This meant that the bean had been fermented successfully.
After the beans were fermented successfully, they had to be exposed to the sun for the next time. This process could not be carried out in a space where there was no sunlight in the jade pendant space.
Yang Fan chose the slope of his home as a sun-scorching field, which allowed the soybeans to touch the sun fully. He spread a cool mat on the ground and spread the hairy soybeans out evenly, letting them fully bask in the sun.
Every hour or two, Yang Fan would use his hands to spread out the soybeans again, trying to make sure that all the soybeans were even under the sun.
Since he had nothing better to do, Yang Fan decided to go fishing at the Flowerflower Creek. This time, he didn't use any Spatial Springs as a cheat, and only fished for half a day to catch a few palm-sized gluttons and white sticks, preparing to go back and eat them fried in the night. Although the harvest wasn't too big, it was better than nothing.
By four o'clock in the afternoon, the soybeans had almost dried out. Because of the fermentation, the beans had formed into many pieces. Yang Fan rubbed them apart with his hands, smelling the pungent odor of the beans.
When he got home, Yang Fan placed the sauce jar he had prepared in the backyard. He took out a watermelon and cut a hole for himself. He first put a layer of fermented soybeans on the bottom, then a layer of watermelon, then a layer of pepper, then a layer of ginger, then a layer of salt.
Then, Yang Fan pressed a layer of soybeans, a layer of watermelon, a layer of pepper, a layer of ginger, a layer of salt in the order of down until the jar was almost full.
Feeling it was about time, Yang Fan stirred it with a big spoon and sealed the vat with gauze, then placed it in the sun as far as possible to let it ferment.
Yang Fan produced three large vats of watermelons in one go, and less than half of the watermelon was used up. As for the remaining watermelon, he could only allow them to stay.
Sigh, there are too many things and you still need to worry about others!
Yang Fan left two vats of watermelon sauce on the outside world. He took one vat and placed it into the space within the jade pendant. He wanted to test if the sauce could be successfully dried in a space without sunlight. Since the vegetables and fruits could be ripe, the chances of success were very high.
Every day, he only needed to open the gauze and stir it. When the sauce was done drying, not only would he smell the fragrance of the watermelon sauce, but it would also turn red.
He gave it to his mother, Zhong Runjuan, to do it. Firstly, he didn't have that kind of patience, and secondly, he was often out of the house. In case of wind or rain, he had to seal the vat tightly before it broke when he entered the water.
After the watermelon sauce was done drying, he would chop some green onions and make some chili peppers. He would put some oil in the wok, fry the chilli onions and fry them until fragrant, and then add in the watermelon sauce and stir-fry … Yang Fan couldn't help but salivate. Oh, my god, I don't want to be a bird!
Yang Fan had a craving for the big fish in his space. Just as he was about to pack a Golden Catfish for his stomach that had gone hungry from making watermelon sauce, the phone in his pants pocket suddenly started singing.
Don't look at me as a sheep
The intelligence of the sheep be unthinkable
The sky is high and the mood is wild
Chase down the sun every day
"Hello, who is this?" Taking out his cell phone, he saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Yang Fan casually picked up the call.
"Hello, may I ask if this is Mr. Yang Fan? We are the purchasing staff of a large hotel in Jiang-Nan city. We would like to discuss the matter of buying medicinal wine with you. " A gentle male voice came over the phone. It sounded very magnetic.
"Hmm?" Yang Fan was overjoyed. This was such a good thing, to think that there would be someone who would take the initiative to call him. Did this mean that there were still people in the world who knew what was good for them?
"Sure, which hotel are you in and how much are you preparing to buy?" Yang Fan gave up on his plan to eat the poor catfish and prepared to have a good talk with the other party.
"Can we meet? "I can't explain it clearly on the phone. We're in Qingshan Town right now, can you come over?" The voice on the other end of the phone was still gentle, giving off a refreshing feeling.
"Alright, please wait for a moment. I'll be there in half an hour."
Yang Fan hung up the phone. Just as he was about to excitedly head out the door to his car, a thought suddenly flashed across his mind, "That's not right, how did they know my home's address? When I was selling medicinal liquor at the Old Hu Hotel in Jiang-Nan city, I didn't leave many calls for those buyers. However, I didn't give them my exact address. What exactly is going on here? "
