A lucky wife born again from a farm family

The fight between the aunts in the backyard of the Zou Mansion has nothing to do with the Qin Guluotian family. They are busy building a shop, learning to read, and making money to live.

After Gu Jinli made fermented bean curd, he planned to take advantage of the getting warmer weather to make several jars of soy sauce. After finishing the morning work in the workshop today, I ran to call Mrs. Wang and the others: "Aunt Wang, take the four loads of soybeans from the yard to my house."

"Hey, little boss, we'll pick it up for you right now." Mrs. Wang Ma called her sister-in-law, mother and daughter Zhu Camellia, and the four of them picked four loads of soybeans to Gu Jinli's house.

The third grandmother saw Zhu Camellia and her daughter and asked, "Old Zhu, has your man come back?"

Lao Zhu's wife said: "No, don't worry. When he comes back, he will come and report to you immediately."

During this period, Lao Zhu and He Sanleizi ran out every day to find the victims of the disaster in Changping Town according to the registration book given by Jiang Jiao. But the victims of the disaster in Changping Town live far away. Lao Zhu and He San Lezi have not come back for two days, and the third grandmother is very anxious.

Gu Jinli comforted the third grandma: "Don't worry, we have already agreed with them when we went out to look for people. We must come back within three days at the latest. Uncle Zhu is a rule-abiding person, and he will definitely take He San with him tomorrow." return."

"You are right, with Lao Zhu here, they will definitely come back tomorrow."

But what will happen if we come back?

He Sanleizi and the others said the last time they came back that the people in Changping Town had never seen the people from Xiejiaping. When they come back this time, the result will definitely be the same.

After Lao Zhu's wife and the others put down the beans, they returned to the workshop to work.

After they left for a while, Gu Jinli saw that the third grandmother was still looking sad. He was afraid that she would think too much by herself, so he said, "Third grandmother, four loads of soybeans is too much. Please help me pick the beans."

The third grandma looked at her angrily: "Who makes you greedy? If you want to make four tanks of soy sauce, you will have to pick the beans to death."

In order to make soy sauce, the family spent twenty taels of silver to buy four new water tanks.

The third grandma was complaining, but she brought two empty baskets and sat in the yard to help pick beans.

Brother Cheng also came to help when he saw it. The three of them picked the soybeans for a long time and didn't finish picking the soybeans until the afternoon.

Gu Jinli took a breath after putting the soybeans into four water tanks and soaking them.

At noon the next day, He Sanleizi and Lao Zhu came back. But the result is still the same. The victims found in Changping Town don’t even know where Gu Fuya’s family is? Not even anyone from Xiejiaping has seen one.

"The two families of victims said that when they started to flee, the people from Xiejiaping had already fled. They fled behind Xiejiaping and did not chase them. I don't know if the people from Xiejiaping came to the south." He Sanlei said quickly. , and told everything that was asked.

The third grandpa and the third grandma were very disappointed, but there was nothing they could do about it. Now they could only find it this way.

"Okay, we get it. You go back first and rest for a couple of days. We'll go look for you after we rent a mule cart for you."

He Sanleizi and Lao Zhu previously walked to look for people, but not many victims of the Changping Town disaster were assigned to Tianfu County. Now they have exhausted all the searches in Tianfu County. If they want to look for them again, they have to go to the next county, which is far away. , it can’t work without a mule cart.

He Sanleizi and Lao Zhu were very happy and hurriedly thanked them: "Hey, thank you very much, Mr. Gu."

"Thank you for your hard work. This is braised meat made at home. You can take it back and eat it." Grandma San handed the two baskets to He San Leizi and Lao Zhu.

He Sanleizi and Lao Zhu were so happy when they saw the braised pork, braised fish pieces and braised eggs in the basket that they thanked them again and again before leaving.

After they left, the third grandfather and the third grandmother were in a very low mood.

Mrs. Cui and Gu Jinxiu were preparing spices in the main room. When they saw this, they winked at Brother Cheng. The little guy immediately ran to the two elders, opened his short hands, hugged them and said, "Grandpa and Grandma are not sad, you still have us. Now, Brother Cheng will be filial to you."

The two elders listened to his childish voice, looked at his increasingly round face, and finally laughed: "Hey, with Brother Cheng here, the third grandpa and the third grandma will not be sad."

Seeing this, Gu Jinli returned to the kitchen with relief and continued steaming soybeans.

Making soy sauce is very troublesome. After soaking the soybeans, they need to be steamed in water. The steamed soybeans are allowed to cool before being sprinkled with wheat flour to ferment.

Not long after she returned to the kitchen, her grandparents and grandma came to the kitchen with Brother Cheng to help.

The four of them were busy until it was almost dark, then they finished steaming the soybeans, and then put the soybeans on bamboo sieves to cool. They took out the wheat flour that had been ground earlier, sprinkled it on the soybeans, and stirred evenly to make every soybean After everything is coated in wheat flour, today's work is complete.

"Second sister, is this done?" Brother Cheng asked, standing on tiptoes and looking at the soybeans in the bamboo sieve.

Gu Jinli said: "That's not enough. After the beans become moldy, put the moldy beans into a tank, pour in salt water, and ferment for about half a year. When the fermentation is complete, you have to filter and cook the sauce to get real soy sauce."

Brother Cheng frowned when he heard this: "It's so troublesome. It will take half a year before our family can have soy sauce."

Gu Jinli pulled the two little knots on his head and said, "It doesn't take that long, five months is about the same."

Brother Cheng's brows relaxed a little after hearing this, and the third grandmother smiled beside him and said: "Just tease him, five months is not the same as half a year."

He added: "Making soy sauce is really troublesome."

There are so many processes to go through.

"How else can the taste be similar to that of fresh fermented soybean paste? It must take some effort." The third grandpa said, and then called to the third grandma: "Okay, old lady, you quickly bring Brother Cheng out and let Dashan My wife went in to cook, and the kitchen was so crowded that there was no room to stand."

In order to make soy sauce, the entire kitchen is filled with wooden shelves. On the wooden shelves, there are bamboo sieves, all containing soybeans. Now the kitchen is so packed that there is no place to stay.

Another thing, soy sauce is a new thing made by Xiaoyu, and it will definitely be sold for money in the future. It is best for Xiaoyu to hold the formula in his own hands. They don’t want to take a closer look... Well, he has to do this at night. Remind the old lady.

Third Grandma held Brother Cheng's hand and followed Third Grandpa out of the kitchen, sighing: "This room is still too small."

Third Grandpa said: "If we wait a little longer, when Foreman Yuan and his friends finish building the shop and workshop, they can build a house for us."

"Third uncle, third uncle's mother, my mother, I'm back." Gu Dashan, covered with dust, entered the yard with a smile on his face, and said to them: "The foundation of the first shop has been built, and we will start tomorrow. Build the wall, and soon the first shop will be built.”

The first shop is shared by several families, the second shop is Daya's braised food shop, and the third shop is Xiaoyu's own shop.

Xiaoyu was not in a hurry to use that shop, so it was built last.

Gu Dashan added: "Foreman Yuan and the others are sincere. The foundation is well built. The foundation dug for us is a foot deep. Old doctor Wu said that with such a deep foundation, even if an earth dragon turns over, the house will not collapse."
