Ji Wan returned home with fifty taels of silver. When she learned that her pot had been prepared, she smiled.

"I happened to buy tofu and eggs today. Eggs are used to make white batter and tofu is used to braised."

"good."

Ji Rong happily held her arm and took the initiative to get things for her, "Sister, what are you buying? So many things."

The two sisters entered the house, Ji Wan closed the door, Ji Heng ran over and called his sister happily.

Ji Wan touched his head, "Sister bought maltose and sugar fried chestnuts for you to eat today."

Ji Heng immediately cheered and shouted that he wanted to eat.

Zhou smiled and said, "Go and wash your hands first."

Ji Rong took his younger brother to the kitchen to wash his hands.

Zhou asked: "Awan, how much does ginseng cost?"

Ji Wan stretched out five fingers.

"Fifty taels?" Zhou was surprised at first, and then sighed: "If you are in the capital, you will have to sell at least two hundred taels."

Ji Wan sat down with her hand, "We are in the town, and the prices are definitely not as expensive as those in the capital. Think about it, if you go to the capital, you will have to spend money on round trips, accommodation, food and accommodation. And the journey is long and not safe, right?"

"That's right."

Zhou smiled and threw this matter behind his mind in a flash.

"Awan." She paused and hesitated: "Do we really want to build a house?"

"certainly."

Ji Wan had already calculated, "The new house we built doesn't have to be too big. Three main houses are enough. Your room will be expanded to a small yard for Ah Heng to live in. Then add a mixed room, a kitchen, a bath room, and a main room, and you have to drill a rocking well again, which will add up to eleven or two taels."

The Ji family was originally a thatched cottage. Zhou brought his dowry and pushed half of the house into a blue brick house. They originally had to build blue brick houses, but Old Master Ji was chasing and left two miscellaneous houses next to the pigpen in the east, but there was a layer of wall dust outside. After Ji Qing died, Liu drove Zhou's mother and others to live in the two thatched cottages.

"Awan..."

"Mom." Ji Wan interrupted her, "Don't worry, I will definitely make more money and will not be able to live in vain. We need a good environment, otherwise grandma and the others will make a big fuss every three days and every five days, which will not be good for Ah Heng's growth environment."

Zhou finally compromised, "Okay."

Ji Rong and Ji Heng came out after washing their hands. Ji Wan opened the paper bag containing chestnuts and maltose, "Eat less, I'll cook, and today I'll make a cake for you that you have never eaten before."

Ji Rong was peeling chestnuts for his younger brother, and immediately said, "Sister, I'll help you burn the fire."

"You eat first, I'll go and burn the fire." Zhou said: "Don't finish it, leave some for your sister."

"Um."

...

Ji Wan wants to make scallion oil pancakes, and first make scallion oil pancakes.

Take the shallots, cut the scallions into sections, chop the green onion leaves, set aside. Add oil to the pot, heat it up and add the scallion and ginger to fry until browned, then remove and throw away, then put the scallion oil into a bowl, add three spoonfuls of flour, stir evenly, and the scallion oil is ready.

Ji Rong and Ji Heng, who smelled the fragrance, ran in, "Sister, what is this you made? It smells so good."

Ji Wan smiled but refused to answer.

Then add salt to the prepared flour, mix the dough with hot water, then add cool water and knead it into a smooth dough.

"Sister, why do you need to use hot water first and cold water?"

Ji Rong asked curiously.

"Because the cakes made in this way will be crisper and not harder." Ji Wan answered while dividing the dough into small dots of equal size, then kneading the small dots into ovals, and rolling them into thin slices with a rolling pin.

Brush a thin layer of scallion oil on the thin slices, sprinkle with the salt and pepper and scallion leaves made from stir-frying with pepper and salt, then roll it up along the edges into long strips, then tie a snap knot, and press the dough under the cake. Press it with your hands and then roll it into a cake.

"Arong, I want to use a frying pan, you can set the heat for me." She made the cake embryos one by one, "Mom, you use this pot to make the white batter, and when I finish the scallion oil pancake, I will stir-fry the tofu."

Niangsan was busy, and Ji Heng was eating maltose and roasting the fire next to him.

Ji Wan specially bought four kilograms of iron and made a slightly larger pan. She could make more than a dozen scallion pancakes at one time.

Heat the pan, brush a layer of oil on it, then put the cake embryos one by one. Fry until both sides are golden and leave the pot.

"fragrant."

Ji Heng smelled the fragrance and couldn't help swallowing, "Second sister, I want to eat it."

Ji Rong's eyes were also glowing.

Ji Wan put fourteen scallion oil pancakes in a large soup bowl and told her sister, "Arong, bring this bowl of scallion oil pancakes to uncle and others."

Ji Rong was stunned.

Ji Heng pursed his mouth and pulled his sister's clothes and whispered: "I want to eat too..."

Ji Wan comforted her younger brother softly, "Be good, we have them, and my sister will do it soon. Look, grandma and aunt bullied us yesterday, so the eldest uncle brought his elder brother to help us drive grandma and aunt away. We have to be grateful, right?"

Ji Heng nodded sensibly and let go.

Zhou didn't say anything, his eyes were comforting.

Ji Rong then took a dozen freshly baked scallion pancakes to his uncle's house.

Ji Wan fryed all the remaining cake embryos, took out a large bowl, spread it with cloth, put the scallion pancakes in, and then covered it with a large bowl on the mouth of the bowl to keep it warm.

After all this, she started cutting tofu, garlic and green onion, and a spoonful of raw noodle soup for thickening.

Zhou's white batter is also prepared. He put it in a large bowl, pour in water and heat it, wash the pot. Then boil water, put the tofu in and cook for a while, blanch it, and remove it.

Put oil in the pot, add garlic, bean paste, pepper, soy sauce, and pour in tofu. Use the spatula to gently push it and mix evenly. Cover the pot, simmer for a while, then pour the raw powder water in, add salt after the sauce is dried, and then sprinkle with chopped green onion, and then drizzle with sesame oil (known as sesame oil in ancient times).

Braised tofu, finished.

Ji Rong was back, and the scent of her nose made her swallow, "Sister, the tofu you made is so fragrant, the color is good, it tastes delicious if you smell it."

Ji Wan smiled and stir-fryed another plate of eggs, put the tofu and the scallion pancakes that had been prepared before on the table, and then each person had a bowl of white batter.

"It's ready to eat."

"Second sister, I want to eat cake."

Ji Heng was short and couldn't reach it, so he tilted his head and asked for help from his sister.

Ji Wan smiled and picked up a scallion pancake for him, and Ji Heng couldn't wait to take a bite.

"It's delicious, the second sister makes the best cakes..."

He was filled with oil and couldn't even speak clearly.

"The outside is crispy and soft inside." Ji Rong also said: "The cakes sold outside are hard, dry and light, and there are no onions. The scallion oil cakes made by my sister are much better than those sold outside."

Ji Rong looked at Zhou, who was also smiling and took the opportunity to say, "Mom, I plan to make scallion pancakes and sell them in the town."

It is said that the bean paste was invented by Fan Li, and sesame oil was already available in the Western Han Dynasty, but it was called sesame oil or sesame oil at that time.
