Chapter 331 No news

The fight between the aunts in the backyard of the Zou Mansion has nothing to do with Qin Gu Luotian's family, they are busy building a shop, learning to read, and earning money to live.

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

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

The third grandma saw Zhu Chahua and her daughter, and asked, "Old Zhu's family, has your man come back?"

Old Zhu's daughter-in-law said: "No, don't worry, when he comes back, he will come and tell you right away."

During this period, Lao Zhu and He Sanlaizi went out every day to find the victims of the disaster in Changping Town according to the registration book Jiang Jiao gave.But the victims in Changping Town lived far away, and Lao Zhu and He Sanlaizi hadn't come back for two days, and the third grandma was very anxious.

Gu Jinli comforted the third grandma: "Don't worry, we have already told them when we went out to find someone, we must come back within three days at the latest, old Uncle Zhu is a man who abides by the rules, and he will definitely bring He Sanlei with him tomorrow." return."

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

But what if I come back?

He Sanlaizi and the others said the last time they came back that the people in Changping Town had never seen anyone from Xiejiaping, and the result must be the same when they come back this time.

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

After they left for a while, Gu Jinli saw that the third grandma was still frowning, afraid that she would think too much by herself, so she said, "Third grandma, there are too many soybeans in four loads, please help me pick the beans."

The third grandma gave her a sharp look: "Whoever made you greedy, to make four cylinders of soy sauce, if you pick beans, you will be killed."

It also cost water tanks. In order to make soy sauce, the family spent two 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 spent a long time picking the soybeans, and they didn't finish picking the soybeans until the afternoon.

After Gu Jinli soaked the soybeans in the four water tanks, he finally took a breather.

At noon the next day, He Sanlaizi and Lao Zhu came back.But the result is still the same, none of the victims found in Changping Town know where Gu Fuya's family is?Not even the people from Xiejiaping had seen one.

"The two victims said that when they started fleeing from the famine, the people from Xiejiaping had already fled. They fled behind Xiejiaping and did not catch up with them. I don't know if the people from Xiejiaping came to the south." , said all the things asked.

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

"Sure, we got it, you go back first, rest for a couple of days, and look for it after we rent a mule cart for you."

He Sanlaizi and Lao Zhu used to walk to find people, but not many victims in Changping Town were assigned to Tianfu County. Now that Tianfu County has been found, if they look for them again, they have to go to the next county, which is far away. , without a mule cart.

He Sanlaizi and Lao Zhu were very happy, and quickly thanked him: "Hey, thank you, Mr. Gu."

"You guys have worked hard. This is homemade lo mei. You can take it home and eat it." The third grandma handed the two baskets to He Sanlaizi and Lao Zhu.

When He Sanlaizi and Lao Zhu saw the stewed meat, stewed fish and stewed eggs in the basket, they were overjoyed and thanked again and again before leaving.

After they left, the third grandfather and the third grandmother were very depressed.

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

Listening to his childish voice and seeing his increasingly round face, the two elders finally laughed: "Hey, with Brother Cheng here, the third grandpa and the third grandma are not sad."

Seeing this, Gu Jinli went back to the kitchen with peace of mind and continued steaming soybeans.

It is very troublesome to make soy sauce. After the soybeans are soaked, they must be steamed in water. After the steamed soybeans are cooled, they are sprinkled with wheat flour to ferment.

Not long after she returned to the kitchen, the third grandfather and the third grandmother brought Brother Cheng to the kitchen to help.

The four of them were so busy that it was almost dark before steaming the soybeans. Then they put the soybeans on the bamboo sieves one by one to cool down. They took out the wheat flour that had been ground long ago, sprinkled it on the soybeans, and stirred them evenly. After they are all coated with wheat flour, today's work is finished.

"Second Sister, is this all done?" Cheng Ge'er stood on tiptoe, looking at the soybeans in the bamboo sieve and asked.

Gu Jinli said: "Not yet, after the beans become moldy, put the moldy beans in a tank, then pour salt water, and ferment for about half a year. After the fermentation is complete, you have to filter and boil the sauce to get real soy sauce."

Brother Cheng frowned: "It's so troublesome, then our family will not be able to eat soy sauce in half a year."

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

Brother Cheng frowned a little when he heard this, and the third grandma smiled beside him and said, "Just tease him, five months is not the same as half a year."

He added: "It's really troublesome to make soy sauce."

There are so many processes to be busy before and after.

"Otherwise, how can the taste be similar to that of fresh fresh sauce? It must take some effort." The third grandpa said, and then greeted the third grandma: "Okay, old lady, hurry up and take Brother Cheng out, let Dashan The daughter-in-law went in to cook, and the kitchen was so crowded that there was no place to stand."

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

Another one, soy sauce is a new product made by Xiaoyu, and it will definitely be used to sell money in the future. It is best to hold the recipe in the hands of Xiaoyu alone. Remind the old lady.

The third grandma took Cheng Ge'er's hand, followed the third grandpa out of the kitchen, and sighed: "This room is still too small."

The third grandpa said: "Stay for a while longer, and when Foreman Yuan and the others finish building the shop and workshop, they can build a house for us."

"Uncle San, Uncle San, mother-in-law, I'm back." Gu Dashan, covered in dust, entered the yard with a smile on his face, and said to them: "The foundation of the first shop has been built, and it will start tomorrow." Build the walls, and soon the first shop will be built."

The first shop is the one shared by several families, the second is Da Ya's lo-mei shop, and the third is Xiaoyu's own shop.

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

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