Chapter 193 Gambling

Jiang Xianwei and his party left the village in a mighty manner.New novel chapters are published on

Along the way, many villagers ran to the trails in the village to watch the excitement. They saw Lieutenant Jiang and others riding on tall horses, followed by five mule carts, which looked very majestic.

After Jiang Xianwei and others left, several families gathered in the yard. The third grandma took charge and divided the uneaten beef, sheep and rabbit meat and the gifts received equally among the families.

The workshop opened today, and they received a lot of congratulatory gifts. I received more than three hundred eggs alone, ten strips of meat, ten bolts of cotton cloth, ten bolts of strawberry cloth, and twenty bundles of burlap, as well as four baskets of rice, noodles, soybeans, sweet potatoes, cabbage, radishes, and new growth in the spring. side dishes.

The four baskets of crops were given by people with poor conditions 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. Congratulations.

The families are all from poor peasant backgrounds and would not dislike these gifts.

The gifts for the Shang Xiucai family were prepared by the Jiang family. In addition to rice, noodles, meat, and sweet and sour wine, there were also seven pieces of cotton cloth and seven pieces of arrowroot cloth. Most of the cotton cloth and arrowroot cloth received by Gu's workshop today were sent by the Shang family.

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

Ms. Jiang is an embroidery lover. She knew that Gu Jinxiu was good at embroidery, but the Gu family didn't have enough money to buy too expensive brocade, so she sent it to Gu Jinxiu.

Gu Jinxiu was very happy to receive these things.

Gu Yumei was so angry that she almost tore the cotton handkerchief in her hand into pieces as she stood in the yard waiting to get her things.

And the Jiang family's gifts were just like those of Jiang Xianwei's people, they were real and generous.

Jiang Xianwei knew that Gu's workshop was making tofu and seasonings, so he sent a cart of medicinal materials and twenty bundles of burlap to Gu's workshop.

"These burlap should be reserved for wooden boxes to cover the tofu, and each family can divide them into bundles." The third grandma, Cui and Chu worked hard for half an hour, and finally distributed all the gifts and asked each family to take the gifts back. Home.

The three grandsons of the Qin family finally waited until they finished dividing the things. As soon as they got the things, they immediately left and went home.

As soon as he entered the house, Qin Erlang knelt down without waiting for Mr. Qin to scold him: "This place is too remote and no news can be transmitted. I must go to the commander's office and use the commander's office to find out the news. Please help me! "

After Qin Lao made the final decision, the three of them began to prepare.

The other families didn't know what happened to the Qin family. After everyone received the gifts, they returned home happily.

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

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

This kitchen used to have only three stoves, but when they were repairing the house, Third Grandpa and Gu Dashan built five more stoves. Now there are eight stoves with eight iron pots. From now on, they will cook soy milk and make tofu here.

Grandpa San took the men from several families into the kitchen, and Gu Dashan taught them how to order the stew and make tofu.

The method is very simple, just cook the soy milk, wait until the temperature of the soy milk drops by about 10%, peel off a few tofu skins, pour in marinade and order tofu, and let the soy milk and water separate into tofu curds. After the tofu pudding becomes large, scoop the tofu pudding into a wooden box lined with burlap, close the burlap, cover with a wooden lid, and put stones on it to press it into shape.

Although the method is simple, the vinegar and water are prepared by Gu Jinlis family and brought to the workshop, so there is no need to worry about the tofu recipe being leaked.

This method has been discussed by several companies a long time ago.

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

After learning, Luo's father, brothers Gu Dalin, Gu Dafu, Gu Dagui, including Gu Qingtian and Gu Qingliang, ordered braised tofu in the kitchen.

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

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

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

He then pointed at the widow of He Wazi and said, "You can't do this either. Amomum villosum is difficult to grind. You have to use some strength to crush the vomomi completely, and then grind it in a copper pestle and mortar."

"And you, Shengzi's sister, these fragrant leaves are light. You can't grind the fragrant leaves with a smasher. You have to use a grinder and grind them slowly."

Ms. Chen behaved like a landlady directing the long-term workers to work. Not to mention that she deserved a beating. Seeing Gu Jinli come in, he pretended to say to her: "Why are you here, Xiaoyu? Your aunt is here. Nothing can go wrong. You don't have to come here and keep an eye on her."
