Chapter 86

When several families heard this result, they all felt incredible.

The third grandma said, "Isn't the Mo family crazy? They let He Dacai go so easily, and He Dacai won't be able to get involved with their family in the future?"

"That's right." Chen shi said while pounding cinnamon with a stone pound, "It's just [-] boards, or someone from the He family beat, how much can it beat? I guess not even a bit of the skin is broken, just lie down for a few days. already."

After finishing speaking, she raised her head and said to Gu Yumei, who was pounding the fragrant leaves, "You still think staying at home is boring, so you want to go to the village and say you want to make friends with the girls in the village, so that you can help the family, will you go this time? This village is not our hometown, it is very dangerous."

They have only been here for more than ten days, and they are not familiar with the people in the village. It is a matter of making friends. It is their own adults to do it, and there is no need for Gu Yumei, a grown-up girl.

Gu Yumei didn't speak, and with a bad face, pounded the fragrant leaves in the wooden bowl with a wooden pole, wishing she could make a hole in the wooden bowl.

Damn Gu Jinli, why let her smash fragrant leaves?She also said that it should be pounded into powder, not too thick, otherwise it would not taste good when sprinkled into the tofu. She pounded for two days in a row, and her hands were blistered and she had to continue pounding, which was so maddening.

Gu Yumei didn't want to do this job, but because she wanted to make a living with tofu, several families had gathered at Gu Jinli's house in the past few days to prepare various things. There was no one at their house during the day, and she was also afraid of the bachelors in the village. Son of a bitch, I dare not stay at home alone, I can only follow along to work.

But she felt uncomfortable. If she was still in her hometown, where would she use this kind of work?

Seeing that she was unhappy, Chen murmured in dissatisfaction and stopped talking about her.

Hearing Chen's muttering, Gu Yumei smashed the fragrant leaves in the bowl a dozen times, got up and walked to Gu Jinli's side, to pour the fragrant leaves in the wooden bowl into the cloth bag, but was stopped by Gu Jinli: "You No. What I want is fragrant leaf powder, and you are far from powder."

"Just use it soon." Gu Yumei put her right hand in front of Gu Jin, and said angrily, "Open your eyes and see, my hand is blisters and can't be pounded."

Her eyes were red, and she looked very aggrieved.

It's a pity that Gu Jinli doesn't eat this set.

Gu Jinli handed the half-pounded Amomum to Gu Yumei: "Then you pound this."

Fragrant leaves are the easiest to grind into powder of all the spices to be used. She has already assigned the easiest work to Gu Yumei, and Gu Yumei is still picky, so let's do a hard work.

Gu Yumei saw the pieces of Amomum glutinosa, which were as hard as tree bark, and she didn't dare to complain anymore. She took the wooden bowl and went back to smash the fragrant leaves.

Several women and a few half-old children were busy until the evening before they finished pounding all the spices, but these were not enough, Gu Jinli said: "Third grandpa, in three days it will be the tenth day of the first lunar month. It's time for Xuanhufang to open. Come back to town and buy some spices."

Today, most of these spices were found by her on the way to flee the desert, but there are not many found. They need a lot of spices to do business, and they have to go to the pharmacy to buy them.

The third grandfather and Gu Dashan were making tables and chairs. When they heard this, they replied, "Okay, think about it in the next two days. What else needs to be purchased. On the tenth day of the first day, we will go to the town to buy it."

"Okay." Gu Jinli responded, put the pounded spice powder into a cloth bag and tied it with a rope.

The third grandmother asked, "Xiaoyu, are these spices not enough?"

Gu Jinli said: "Not enough, these spices are not only used to make fried spiced tofu, when selling white tofu, they can also be sold to people who buy tofu, and let them put a little in to season when they make tofu or cooking, they need to be used. The quantity is very large, prepare more, and there will be some to sell at that time, so it will not suddenly be out of stock."

Chen Shi and the others were just about to go home when they heard this and stopped to ask, "Xiaoyu, can these spices still be sold for money?"

Gu Jinli nodded and said, "Yes."

"Hey, why is Xiaoyu so smart? Everything you make can be sold for money." Chen was so happy that he asked Gu Jinli, "Xiaoyu, the money for selling spices..."

Gu Jinli knew what she wanted to ask, and said, "According to the third grandfather's agreement."

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen was overjoyed, said a few good words, and returned home with a few children of her own, while the others went home individually.

On the tenth day of the first lunar year, the third grandpa went to town with Gu Dashan and the Luo family and his son. According to the care of Jinli, he bought a lot of medicinal materials that can be used as spices, and even went to the iron shop to order two pieces per chi. A wide, half-meter long iron plate.

"Those two iron plates are not difficult to make. You can get them tomorrow, and it cost four taels of silver." Grandpa San said.

As for the four taels of silver, it will be included in the capital, and when the tofu is sold, the silver will be deducted back.

The next day, everyone started pounding the spices again. Gu Jinli mixed the spices in a certain proportion, and then wrapped them in yellow paper with a few younger children. After preparing for a while, it finally arrived. The fifteenth day of the first month.

On the Lantern Festival, several of their families woke up before dawn. After more than an hour of work, the third grandfather brought Luo Fu Chu, Tian Shutian, Gu Damu Yan, Gu Dagui Chen, Qin Sanlang, Gu Jinan, and Luo Huiniang to return. Gu Jinli went to town.

There are so many things to bring, almost everyone who goes to the town stalls has to carry things.

Father Luo had to carry two iron plates and two heavy tandoors, Aunt Tian and Mrs. Gu Damu were carrying four loads of tofu, and Mrs. Gu Dagui and Mrs Chen were carrying two loads of bean dregs. Sell ​​bean curd cake.

The third grandfather, the Chu family, Qin Sanlang, and Gu Jinan were carrying four load of chopped dry wood. They had no money to buy charcoal, and they sold cooked food that needed to be made fresh, so they could only carry dry wood to the town.

Gu Jinli and Luo Huiniang were carrying pots and pans, chopsticks, oil, salt and spices.

A group of people hurriedly rushed to the town at noon.

Tonight is the Lantern Festival. There is a lantern festival in the town. It is a rare day without a curfew. Many people come out to set up stalls to do business. When they arrive, all the places where they can set up stalls are occupied.

However, Dr. Du had already asked the medicine boy from Xuanhufang to help them occupy a good position of five meters square, and also helped them go to the town's Silifang to get a sign for the stall, so they had a place to set up the stall at night.

In ancient towns, there was no mayor, but there was a Silifang. There were two officials and six yamen in it. They were responsible for handling the town's affairs. to set up a stall.

The prices of the brands vary, and the food sellers will be more expensive. If it comes to the Lantern Festival or the Mid-Autumn Festival, the food stalls will charge a hundred cents a day, which is usually half a month's cost, but the farmers sell agricultural products. It only takes ten cents a day, and if it is placed for half a day, it only takes five cents.

The medicine boy was called Cang Zhu. After seeing the third grandfather, he immediately waved to him and said, "Master Gu, this way, this way."

The third grandpa hurried over with them carrying things, and was overjoyed when he saw such a good location: "This location is good, it's close to the main street, Cangzhu brother, thank you very much."

The lantern festival is on the main street. At this time, there are rows of pillars on the main street, and thick ropes are hung on those pillars. At night, the thick ropes will be covered with all kinds of lanterns. Can light up the entire main street.
