Nongmen Xiaofu's Reborn Wife
Chapter 106 Oil and Sauce [1]
After entering the main hall, Shang Xiucai did not ask the three of them, but asked Ah Jiu to go to the mule cart to retrieve the four study room treasures he had brought with him, and each of them gave them a piece of paper and a pen, a little ink, and said to them: "Write what you think you're best at studying, writing or articles." "Aah?" I'll just file some
question
to him , and he will answer according to the teaching Why was this turned into writing? What should he write? He never went to private school at all.
Gu Dexing was the only family of the village chief who attended a private school. Gu Dewang was only eight years old, and there was a two-year drought in the Northwest. He was only six years old when the disaster struck. He never went to school at all. He had only learned a few characters from the village chief. Gu and read the Three Classic Characters for a few days.
Shang Xiucai smiled and did not reply, but left Ah Jiu just like that and saw them writing. He himself said to the third grandfather and Gu Dashan: "Uncle Gu, brother Gu, knows you are fresh food. Wen Yuan has always been curious, so I wonder if we can go and see her?" Third grandfather and Gu Dashan wanted to be friends
, Shang Xiucai naturally directly agreed.
First they went to the Luo family courtyard and looked at the grinder.Shang Xiucai pointed to the white soy milk flowing out of the mill and asked, "Is this soy milk?" The third grandfather smiled and nodded, "Yes, but this is made
with soy milk with bean dregs need to be filtered, then boiled in a pan, soaked to make tofu, and then compacted into tofu.” “How about soy milk
? ik?with sugar?" Shang Xiucai did not ask about her bitter taste. Although he was curious about how to know it was made, he knew it was the Gu family's secret recipe and he couldn't ask.
The third grandfather said: "Soybean milk needs to be diluted with water. If you drink pure soy milk, it tastes too strong and unpleasant." I'm afraid it's not enough. "The third brother said:
"
It's really not enough, we plan on buying stones and returning to make stone milling."
It was originally planned to be done some time ago, but it was postponed due to the affairs of the Lu family.
Shang Xiucai heard those words, looked at the quiet, surprised Gu Dashan, and said in awe: "Sister Gu can also make stone grinding, this is no small skill." Gu Dashan smiled honestly: "What? Craftsmen
or not, they are all work that has been done before."
He was driven out of the house by Mrs. Gu to work since he was a child, and he has done all kinds of jobs as a carpenter, mason, well digger, and mason. However, Shang Xiucai said: "There is an abandoned stone factory in my old house. Let Ah Jiu
bring it to you tomorrow, so you don't have to buy the stone factory."
stone milling When he knew of a shortage of supplies, he might as well give them to their families.
When Gu Dashan heard this, he quickly waved his hand and refused: "No, no, this stone factory is spending a lot of money. Brother Shang, you have given so many gifts today, so you can't give any more ." Shang Xiucai smiled and said: "Sister Gu, that one
The stone factory has been in the old house for almost twenty years, if you do not want it, it just throw it somewhere to attract ash, so do not refuse .”
Gu Dashan had no choice but to agree.
Brother Gu Damu and Gu Dalin listened to him, and it was very helpful, this Shang Xiucai has absolutely no daughter-in-law nature from the regional lieutenant, and is very kind.
Gu Dagui and Gu Dafu were sifting through soy milk, and when they saw Gu Dashan approaching, they hurriedly gave him a wink. After Gu Dashan came, Gu Dagui asked in a low voice: "Sister Dashan, is my mother-in-law making trouble with your house?
" Shi said that she would take some children to let Shang Xiucai accept her as an apprentice, and study with Shang Xiucai for free. She scolded him loudly, saying that he did not take advantage enough.
But in my heart, I really did not trust Madame Chen, for fear that she would offend the daughter-in-law of the district lieutenant and bring trouble to their families.
Gu Dashan said: "It's okay with third aunt here."
Shang Xiucai did not say anything when he heard what they said. Farmers like this, and this is also for the future of their children, but he has the final decision on whether to accept an internship or not. .
Shang Xiucai walked around the Luo family courtyard, chatted briefly with Gu Damu's brothers Gu Dalin, Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui, then returned to Gu's house, then, go to the kitchen to see boiled soy milk, bean curd separated from the dregs and water, as well as squeezed tofu.
“It's amazing, beans have become a new food after being ground, boiled and squeezed like this.” Shang Xiucai sighed.
Gu Jinli was talking to Cui Shi, Gu Jinxiu, and Gu Yumei, who were accompanying Jiang's mother and son.Hearing this, he got up and left, coming to Shang Xiucai, he said, and take the opportunity to say: "In addition to making tofu, beans can also make many foods, such as soybean paste, bean sprouts, soybean oil, and soy sauce that taste similar to Xianjiang."
Shang Xiucai was shocked when he heard it, and quickly asked Gu Jinli: "Can you make oil and Xianjiang? Did ya?
" Sauces made from marinated meat are very expensive, so they are sold in the market for one tael of silver and a small pot, and only the rich can afford them.
But soybeans only cost three Wen per catty.If he could make soy sauce with a taste similar to Xianjiang, it would really ... He could not imagine how much of a sensation this soy sauce caused.
And that soybean oil.
In Dachu, there are only two types of oil, one meat oil for eating, and pine oil for lighting lamps. As for Dayong, he heard there was a kind of ghee made from cow and goat milk, but he had never heard of soybean oil, if soybeans could be made into soybean oil, he said, that would be a great thing for the country and the people.
Shang Xiucai knew that this matter was too big, so big that his current ability could not protect these two things at all, so he said to Gu Jinli: "Good boy, good boy, who else have you told me about this?" Gu Jinli said: "Don't worry, Uncle Shang
, About soybean oil and soy sauce, only a few of us know about it.”
He understood the truth of the evil jade pregnancy, so he would not make everything he knew at once, but make the same thing, which could be protected This kind of thing, he would do it.
Previously, he had only wanted to make out, but that was because he had met Shang Xiucai, and after he learned that Shang Xiucai was the son-in-law of the regional captain, he was the son-in-law of the regional captain, he wanted to make fresh sauce and soybean oil.
With Jiang Xianwei's abilities in Tianfu County, he should be able to protect these two things and prevent them from bringing about a fatal disaster.
After Shang Xiucai listened, he felt relieved, and he asked Gu Jinli roughly how to make soy sauce and soybean oil.
Gu Jinli gave a general idea: "Creating soy sauce takes longer than fresh soy sauce. It takes half a year to marinate fermented soybeans to make soy sauce. As for soybean oil, its production time is relatively short, but it takes a long time.a lot of manpower to make it."
Crushing beans and frying beans is very simple, but extracting the oil is very troublesome. Without more than ten workers, it would be impossible for you to extract the oil manually.
“More than ten soybean catties can produce more than one soybean oil starch, and the oil yield is not too high.” “
However, soy sauce is much better. soybeans can produce two soy sauce teats, and it is not a hassle to make them. It's good."
Gu Jinli recounts all the pros and cons of soybean oil and soy sauce.
