Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 118 Making Oil

Gu Dashan's family didn't know what Shang Xiucai was thinking, they just thought that Gu Jinan was not good enough, so Shang Xiucai didn't accept him as an apprentice, but Shang Xiucai was willing to teach Gu Jinan, and the Gu family was very grateful.

Faced with the gratitude from everyone in the Gu family, Shang Xiucai smiled and said, "You don't need to thank me, I'm a graduate student. You can discuss it and choose a day to send Brother An to study at my house."

Shopkeeper Tao invited beggars to make trouble. It was written by Shopkeeper Zeng and Xiancheng Zou. It would be better for Ange to study with him as soon as possible. Recruit to deal with the Gu family.

"We'll bring Ang to your house the day after tomorrow." Gu Dashan was so excited that he originally wanted to bring Ang to the door tomorrow, but thinking about the preparations for the confinement ceremony, he postponed the time for a day.

Shang Xiucai said: "Okay, then it's settled."

After talking about Gu Jinan, Shang Xiucai left with Ah Jiu.

Gu Dashan's family sent Shang Xiucai out of the house, and did not return to the yard until Shang Xiucai's mule cart disappeared.

Now the few families no longer grind spices at Gu Jinli's house, but one family takes two kinds of spices back to grind, and then brings them to Gu's family to mix them for Gu Jinli, but the rest of the family soon knew that Gu Jin'an was going to study with Shang Xiucai thing.

The family members were overjoyed, and they all hoped that Gu Jin'an would come up with a trick to protect them in the future.

Mrs. Chen was also very happy, but besides being happy, she was also very unwilling. She grabbed the eight-year-old Gu Dewang and beat him several times: "You are worthless, and you were admitted to the school by Shang Xiucai with Brother An. Shang Xiucai only accepted Brother An, but not you? Go back to grinding spices, old lady."

Gu Dewang was afraid of Mrs. Chen, so he shrugged his shoulders and ran back to grind the spices. He disapproved of going to school. What good is going to school?That word is like an ant, which makes people dizzy. He still prefers to grind spices to make tofu.

Gu Dexing filtered the soy milk at Luo's house, heard Chen's words, felt very uncomfortable, felt that Chen was scolding himself, so angrily threw down the half-filtered soy milk and ran away.

"Brother Xing, where are you going? Haven't you finished this job yet?" Gu Dafu shouted carrying a bucket of soy milk, but Gu Dexing ran away without looking back as if he didn't hear it.

Gu Dafu sighed, knowing that Gu Dexing wanted to go to study, but he was not accepted for being a scholar, so what could he do?

Gu Dagui at the side said: "Brother, there is also a private school in the town, let's send Brother Xing to study."

Brother Xing wants to study, they can all see it.When he was in his hometown, his father placed high hopes on this nephew. He was sent to a private school to study at the age of seven, and he was forced to stop school until the drought in the northwest.

But Gu Dafu knew that his son was on his way, and with Shang Xiucai in front of him, he would not go to other private schools to study again.

"Let's have a look again." Gu Dafu said, and continued to be busy with the work in hand.

After Gu Dexing ran away, he didn't come home until dark. Fortunately, he didn't do anything stupid, he was just sullen all by himself.

The next day, Gu Jinli didn't go out with the stall, but made tofu at home, and asked Gu Dashan to take Gu Jinan to the town to buy things.

They have a lot of things to buy today, including a gift for Shang Xiucai, and pens, inks, papers and inkstones for Gu Jinan to go to school.

There are not many scholars in the town, so there is a small bookstore in the back street, which sells pens, inks, papers and inkstones, as well as some common books, such as the Three-Character Classic for Enlightenment, the Thousand-Character Classic, and the Analects, The Book of Songs, and the Book of Rites. These.

Although there are few types of books and the paper is still yellow, they are not cheap. An ordinary three-character classic costs one tael of silver.

After Gu Dashan asked about the price of the books, he wanted to buy two books for Gu Jinan, but was stopped by Gu Jinan.

Gu Jin'an said: "Father, I still don't know what my husband is going to teach, so don't buy this book yet, I will talk about it after I meet my husband tomorrow."

After hearing this, Gu Dashan suppressed the idea of ​​buying books, and after a selection in the bookstore, he bought a pen, the cheapest inkstone, two ink ingots, and ten sheets of yellow paper. He gritted his teeth and bought two more. White rice paper.

Shopkeeper Tang of the bookstore knew Gu Dashan. This Gu family sells tofu. Recently, they often come to their bookstore to buy yellow paper, but this time they bought white rice paper. They couldn't help being curious and asked, "Brother Gu, what happened this time?" I bought white rice paper, this paper is not cheap."

Yellow paper is the cheapest, costing [-] Wen a piece, while white rice paper is expensive, costing [-] Wen a piece, which is not something ordinary people can afford.

Gu Dashan said: "Brother An wants to go to school, so buy two pieces of rice paper for his own use. If the master asks him to write articles, he can also use rice paper." Yellow paper is not good-looking.

Shopkeeper Tang was very surprised when he heard this. The Gu family had escaped from the famine and had money to send their son to school.

"Then I really want to congratulate Brother Gu." Shopkeeper Tang said with a smile: "Which gentleman did you worship? But come to study in a private school in the town?"

Gu Dashan said: "I am worshiping Shang Xiucai from Shangjia Village, so go to his home to study."

Shopkeeper Tang was completely shocked. He didn't expect Shang Xiucai to be willing to teach Gu Jia'an brother. This is really... He remembered the rumors in the town that a little girl from the Gu family saved the county captain's granddaughter, so she won the county captain Adult care.

And the son-in-law of the county captain is not a scholar.

From this point of view, the rumors are true, and the Gu family really had great luck, being protected by Jiang Xianwei and monk Xiucai.

The smile on Shopkeeper Tang's face became stronger, and he said sincerely: "This is really a happy event, Shang Xiucai has real skills, and your brother An can be taught by Shang Xiucai, and he will definitely be promising in the future."

Shopkeeper Tang said some good things, and when he finally settled the accounts, he wiped off the change for them, and only charged one, two, or five hundred Wen, and would not accept any more.

At the end, shopkeeper Tang gave Gu Dashan a package of dried celery wrapped in yellow paper: "You must buy a bundle of celery, this celery is indispensable, and there is no fresh one now, but I have dried celery in my shop for spare , to you."

Gu Dashan was very grateful and took the dried celery.

Gu Jin'an was not the kind of foolish person, he thanked the shopkeeper with a smile, and said some good things, before the father and son left the bookstore to buy other gifts for Shu Xiu.

Gu Jinli made tofu and soybean oil at home.

Soybean oil is not difficult to make, just pick beans, crush beans, fry beans, make cake embryos, and then squeeze the oil.

The beans were stone-ground a few days ago, and now it's time to start frying them.

After she mixed the vinegar water for Cui and ordered six pots of tofu, she built a simple stove with mud bricks outside the kitchen. Pour all the soybeans into the pot and stir fry slowly.

The beans are crushed and the grains are small, so they are easy to fry. After frying for a quarter of an hour, twenty catties of crushed soybeans are all cooked.
