Chapter 193 Gambling

Jiang Xianwei and his party left the village in a mighty manner.

Along the way, many villagers ran to the village trails to watch the excitement. They saw Captain Jiang and the others riding on tall horses with five mule carts behind them, which was very majestic.

After County Captain Jiang and the others left, several families gathered in the yard, and the third grandma made the decision to divide the unfinished beef, sheep, rabbit meat, and gifts received among several families.

The workshop opened today, and they received a lot of congratulatory gifts.For eggs alone, they received more than 300 pieces, ten pieces of meat, ten pieces of cotton cloth, ten pieces of kudzu cloth, twenty bundles of burlap, and four baskets of rice, noodles, soybeans, sweet potatoes, cabbage and radishes, and new spring growth. side dishes.

The four baskets of crops were all given by poor people in the village. They wanted to work in Gu's workshop, but they had no money to buy gifts, so they could only bring a few eggs and a basket of crops as gifts for the family. Congratulations.

Several families are from poor peasants, and they will not despise these gifts.

The congratulatory gifts for Shang Xiucai's family were prepared by Mrs. Jiang. In addition to sending rice noodles, meat, and sweet and sour wine, there were also seven pieces of cotton cloth and seven pieces of Gebu.

In addition, Jiang also gave Gu Jinxiu a piece of brocade, a pack of embroidery thread, and a complete set of embroidery needles.

Mrs. Jiang is an embroiderer and knows that Gu Jinxiu's embroidery is good, but the Gu family doesn't have that much money to buy expensive brocade, so they send it to Gu Jinxiu.

Gu Jinxiu was very happy to receive these things.

Gu Yumei was very angry. Standing in the yard waiting to get her own things, she almost tore the cotton handkerchief in her hand.

And the Jiang family's congratulatory gift was the same as that of Jiang Xianwei's people, honest and forthright.

Jiang Xianwei knew that Gu's workshop made tofu and seasoning spices, so he sent a cart full of medicinal materials and twenty bundles of burlap to Gu's workshop.

"These burlap should be kept in a wooden box to cover the tofu, and the family can divide them into a bundle." The third grandma, Cui Shi, Chu Shi and the others worked for half an hour, and finally divided all the gifts, and let each family take the gifts back. Family.

The grandparents and grandchildren of the Qin family finally waited until they finished distributing the things, and as soon as they got the things, they immediately said goodbye and went home.

As soon as he entered the house, Qin Erlang knelt down without waiting for Mr. Qin to start scolding: "It's too remote here, I can't get any news, I have to go to the military office and use the military office to find out the news, I beg you to help me! "

Saying that, with a bang, his head hit the floor of the main room heavily.

Elder Qin moved a few steps away, but did not accept his gift.

Qin Sanlang walked to the door and slightly closed the open door of the main room to prevent people passing by his courtyard from seeing what was going on inside.

After closing the door, he looked back at Qin Erlang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a sneer: "That Ah Ji has noticed us, and he will definitely come back tonight and surround us. You don't need to be a soldier by then." So, you can go directly to death row."

He said in a low voice, but his tone was extremely cold.

Along the way, he has never lost his temper with this so-called second brother, but today, he really couldn't help it.

Did the second brother think it was only his family who died?The three clans are all dead, who is luckier than the other?

Seeing that Qin Sanlang was really angry, Qin Erlang felt a little guilty, knowing that he shouldn't be so impulsive, but he had enough, he hated this place, this dilapidated countryside, it would take two hours to go to a town, and he couldn't get it at all. What useful news.

Even the old Duke Xi took command to put down the rebellion, and they only knew about it after Mr. Lei Wuye told them.

"That Ah Ji is from the Ning family. The Ning family has always been friends with us and will not betray us." Qin Erlang said: "And that Ah Ji has never met you and me. Even if we doubt it, we will deny it to death. Evidence, there is no way to catch us."

"Evidence is needed to kill us?" Qin Sanlang smiled angrily: "That one is the one who would rather kill the wrong than let him go."

Elder Qin also had a sad expression on his face. It was really a mistake today. They thought that only County Captain Jiang would come, but unexpectedly, the Ning family came.

"Then what do you think we should do? Now we can see each other again." Qin Erlang was very irritable, and the long-term depression made his temper more and more irritable: "If it really doesn't work, let's run away now."

Qin Sanlang narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and looked at Qin Erlang disappointedly: "Second brother, do you know what you are talking about? We escaped, what will the third grandfather do? There are more than 30 people!"

Although in their eyes, dozens of deaths are not a big deal, but those families have helped them, and everyone has been together for such a long time, and their hearts are fleshy, so they can't be so selfish.

Qin Erlang didn't speak, but he did think about it, regardless of those families.

Both Qin Lao and Qin Sanlang knew about it, but they didn't reveal it.

"For the present plan, we can only gamble." After a long silence, Elder Qin said: "Betting on the Ning family has no intention of harming us."

After Mr. Qin made a final decision, the three grandparents and grandchildren began to prepare.

The other families didn't know about the Qin family's affairs. After receiving the divided congratulatory gifts, they returned home happily.

After returning home, several families did not rest, but went to the workshop.

He Laoguo and the others have already ground a lot of beans, filtered the soy milk, and put the buckets into the kitchen of the workshop.

This kitchen used to have only three stoves, but when the house was being repaired, the third grandfather and Gu Dashan built another five, now there are eight stoves, and there are eight iron pots, where they will cook soybean milk to make tofu in the future.

The third grandpa brought several men from the family into the kitchen, and Gu Dashan taught them how to cook tofu.

The method is very simple, but boil the soy milk, wait for the temperature of the soy milk to drop by about [-]%, peel off a few pieces of tofu skin, pour in marinade and order tofu, let the soy milk and water separate into bean curd.After the bean curd becomes large, scoop the bean curd into a wooden box lined with burlap, then close the burlap, cover the wooden lid, and put stones on it to press it into shape.

Although the method is simple, the vinegar water is prepared by Gu Jinli's family and brought to the workshop, so there is no need to worry about the tofu recipe leaking.

And this method has been discussed by several companies long ago.

The tofu recipe is in the hands of Gu Jinli's family, and Gu Jinli's family will deliver marinade to the workshop every day, and ask several families to order tofu.

After learning it, father Luo, brothers Gu Damu and Gu Dalin, brothers Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui, including Gu Qingtian and Gu Qingliang, ordered stewed tofu in the kitchen.

In less than an hour, they made nearly a thousand catties of tofu, and almost finished the soy milk ground by He Laoguo and the others.

Gu Jinli ran to the main room of the workshop to watch He Yang and the others grind spices.

Mrs. Chen has already woken up, and she is sitting in the main room at this moment, crossing her legs, biting a piece of fried crispy meat, pointing to He Tugou's wife and saying: "You can't do this, you have to grind it again."

Pointing to He Wazi's widow, she said, "You can't do this either. The amomum is hard to grind, you have to use some strength to crush the amomum completely, and then put it in the copper pestle and mortar to grind it."

"And you, Shengzi and his sister, the fragrant leaves are light, you can't smash the fragrant leaves, you have to grind them slowly."

Mrs. Chen acted like a landlady commanding long-term workers, so she deserved a beating.Seeing Gu Jinli coming in, he pretended to say to her, "What's wrong with Xiaoyu? Your aunt is here, and nothing can go wrong. You don't need to come here and stare."
