Chapter 455: Making Miso
“Brother Zhou, why are you cultivating so much land?”
Zhou Chaoyang asked curiously.
He knew the situation of Zhou Ziwen's family very well. There were vegetable plots in the courtyards on both sides. There was enough food for Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters alone.
“I’m going to plant some ginseng.”
Zhou Ziwen didn't hide it, and he couldn't hide it. When the mushroom grows, the place where the mushroom grows will become his focus.
Fortunately, Tayun and Xiaodian were there. Without them, he would have been ready to build a house there and live in it every day.
The main reason is that the value of ginseng is too high, and the treasure is very attractive.
This thing is planted in the ground. If you don’t keep an eye on it, it’s not impossible that it might be stolen accidentally.
Human nature is the last thing that can stand the test.
He has already trained Tayun and Xiaodian.
With them taking care of it day and night, not even a single blade of grass will be lost, let alone ginseng.
“You can still grow ginseng?” Zhou Chaoyang looked at Zhou Ziwen in surprise, with disbelief in his eyes.
"Is it unusual that I can grow ginseng? I also have medical skills?" Zhou Ziwen raised his eyebrows at him.
“This kind of ginseng and medical skills are not the same thing?” Zhou Chaoyang still couldn’t believe it.
It doesn’t matter if he can grow mushrooms, he can also do medicine. Even if he can do medicine, he has now begun to grow ginseng.
At this time, he really wanted to ask, what else could his brother Zhou not know?
“They’re almost the same.” Zhou Ziwen pretended to be cool in an understatement.
To him, they are indeed the same. They just use the hang-up panel to hang up. There is no difference.
"Brother Zhou, you are too offensive. With someone as powerful as you existing, how are we mortals supposed to live?" Shen Zhaodi lamented.
For her, whether she is growing mushrooms or ginseng, each of them requires years of study.
What's more, Zhou Ziwen knows more than just these, such as stone masonry, carpentry, medical skills, etc., which are all things that ordinary people need to spend a lifetime to specialize in.
But what about Zhou Ziwen!
When I first came to the country, I didn’t know anything. At most, I just practiced boxing since I was a child to get stronger.
But it has only been a few months, and as he has shown more and more things, he has become more and more versatile.
By now, Zhou Ziwen has almost been deified in their hearts.
Even if one day he says that he will have children, they will not have any objection.
A few people chatted for a while, and they also learned about Zhou Ziwen’s plan.
They didn’t expect that he was already preparing to return to the city before he was sure whether he could return to the city.
There is no doubt whether you can make money by growing ginseng.
It's just that they are still a little unsure about whether Zhou Ziwen can grow it.
Although Zhou Ziwen is a genius and knows many things, growing ginseng still sounds unreliable.
But as friends, they will definitely not dampen Zhou Ziwen's enthusiasm.
After all, Zhou Ziwen had given them enough surprises, and it would not be incomprehensible if there were more.
As for Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi, they have unconditional trust in Zhou Ziwen.
They didn't know whether Zhou Ziwen could grow ginseng well, they just believed in Zhou Ziwen.
Since he said he could plant it, he must.
After lunch, Zhou Ziwen continued to cultivate the land.
In just one afternoon, he plowed through two or three acres of land.
With his strength, when he went down with a hoe, it could be said that the entire root was submerged.
He dug out large chunks of soil, then crushed them and mixed them evenly.
It has only been plowed deeply and has almost been reclaimed.
But for Zhou Ziwen, just doing this is not enough. After the land was reclaimed, he found some auxiliary materials to increase the texture of the soil and make the land more fertile.
At this point, it is time to start transplanting ginseng.
As for the follow-up, you only need to maintain it on time and slowly improve the soil quality.
Transplanting ginseng is not something that happens overnight.
Normally, planting ginseng starts with ginseng seeds, but Zhou Ziwen was too slow and planned to plant ginseng seedlings directly.
He plans to find some immature ginseng in the mountains that is still a few years old, and then he will cultivate it for two or three years, then harvest it and sell it for money.
This saves trouble and time.
The only thing that needs to be considered is how to get ginseng seedlings.
But for Zhou Ziwen, this is not difficult.
In the mountains, there are a lot of ungrown ginseng like this. As long as you are careful and spend a little more time, it is not a problem to plant several acres of land.
His land is only more than two acres in total, of which only one acre is, strictly speaking, it should be nine cents.
The nine points of land belong to him, and the rest belongs to the production team.
After all, if you want to do something in the countryside, you cannot do without the production team.
For him, money is not important, he just wants to get some start-up capital.
If he just grows it himself and does not give any benefits to the production team, he is afraid that someone will be jealous.
The human heart cannot stand the test.
The ginseng he grows is too valuable. If he doesn’t share some of the benefits, he will probably be in trouble.
But if it is allocated to part of the production team, the result will be completely different.
At that time, the captain and Wu Dagang will be there to support us.
Even if there is any trouble, they will take the initiative to solve it.
Sometimes, one person cannot take all the benefits, and the best way is to share the rain and dew equally.
After taking care of the ginseng field, it was almost time. After tidying up a little, Zhou Ziwen turned around and went home.
After putting away the tools, he went to the mushroom room, clocked in and went home with the Chen sisters.
As for the ginseng land, I will register it with the team leader tomorrow. I will first record the land owned by myself and the Chen family sisters, so that I can legitimately plant ginseng.
Back home with the Chen sisters, they started to get busy.
The soybeans and soybeans that I prepared to make earlier have already been soaked. You can make the doenjang before it gets dark.
Making doenjang involves many steps and takes a long time. Zhou Ziwen plans to make the doenjang embryo first.
Before making the soybeans, you need to boil the soybeans and then grind them into soybean paste using a stone mill.
After grinding the soybeans into puree, wrap them in something and wrap them into cubes. After a period of natural fermentation, the soybean paste is ready.
The soybeans for making miso have been soaked in the morning. Now you just need to boil them in a pot and grind them into puree.
While the soybeans were being cooked, they were also preparing today's dinner.
When the soybeans were cooked, Zhou Ziwen took them to the stone mill in the yard and started processing them.
Chen Qiaoyi happily helped to add water.
Zhou Ziwen pushed the stone mill a few times, and Chen Qiaoyi added a handful of soybeans and a little water.
Male and female match, work is not tiring.
After a while, the soybean puree was ready.
After being busy for a while, Zhou Ziwen put the wrapped soy sauce embryos on the edge of the kitchen stove and waited for a while for the soy sauce embryos to ferment naturally before continuing to make them.
While they were busy making soy sauce, Chen Shiying's dinner was also ready.
After they clean up the battlefield, dinner will be served.
