A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family Chapter 187

Chapter 187 Testing spices

 The two baskets contained several iron medicine grinders and several copper pestles and mortars. These were used to grind medicinal materials into powder, which she must use to make spices.

But Da Chu also has controls on these things. Unless your family owns a pharmacy, it will be difficult for you to buy these things. Old Doctor Wu knew this, so he sent them to his family.

Old doctor Wu waved his hand and said with a smile: "There are not many gifts. Your family must be short of them, but the old man can buy them for you."

Gu Jinli said hurriedly: "Thank you, Grandpa Wu." With the words of old doctor Wu, the workshop would not have to worry about buying iron pills to grind them.

"Don't thank me. It's already three o'clock. The auspicious time has come. Hurry up and unveil the plaque." Old Doctor Wu was also a straightforward person. He quickly entered the Gu family workshop and met Jiang County Lieutenant and the others who were walking towards him. After that, they began to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth and began to unveil plaques.

"Ange'er, Xiaoyu, Sanlang, please stand at the back." The third grandmother pointed out the position for them.

“Hey.” Gu Jinli and the other three came behind a group of adults and stood with children from several families.

By chance, He Shiliu and the others were left to unveil the plaque together. After learning that the old man wearing a black brocade robe was Captain Jiang County, I was extremely excited.

The Third Grandpa entrusted the matter of toasting to heaven and earth to Lieutenant Jiang County.

Jiangxian Lieutenant did not refuse and took the job. He picked up a wine glass placed on the incense table and said something to the sky, which meant to tell the world and the ancestors of each family that the Qin Gu Luotian family had opened a workshop. , meaning to ask for blessings.

 After finishing speaking, he poured the nine glasses of wine on the incense table onto the ground one by one.

 After pouring the wine, a group of people bowed three times to the incense table.

After paying homage, Lieutenant Jiang and everyone came to the gate of the workshop, held the rope tied with red cloth, and shouted: "Gu's workshop is officially opened!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled off the rope, and the red cloth covering the plaque fell down, revealing the four characters "Gu's Workshop" with flying phoenixes.

This workshop was jointly opened by the Qin, Gu, Luo, and Tian families. Since there are the most people with the surname Gu, and the Gu Jinli family bought the yard, it was named Gu's Workshop. The Qin, Luo, and Tian families all agreed. .

“Brother Gu, congratulations on the opening of your workshop. Business will be booming and there will be many customers in the future.” Village Chief He congratulated the third grandfather.

Third Grandpa smiled and cupped his hands: "I would like to borrow the village chief's words of auspiciousness."

He Shiliu also said a few words of congratulations. After the congratulations, He Shiliu and the others said goodbye and left, but they were still very excited. County Lieutenant Jiang, they actually followed the County Lieutenant to unveil the plaque.

After He Shiliu and the others left, Lieutenant Jiang County said to Gu Jinli, "Little girl, go and see your spices. We are all curious."

 After saying that, he looked at Mr. Lei Wu who was standing aside. His meaning was very clear. Hurry up. The big customer is here. Show him the good things. I won't let you lose.

Gu Jinli was very wise and said to the Fifth Master Lei: "Fifth Master, let's go see how spices are made."

With that said, he called He Yang and the others, and each gave them two taels of medicinal materials and asked them to start making seasonings.

After He Yang and the others signed the contract on March 12th, they went to Gu Jinli's house every day for the past four days to learn how to pound spices. Now they are familiar with the process. As soon as Gu Jinli spoke, they took the medicinal materials and tools and immediately began to pound the medicinal materials. .

 Dong dong dong!

 For a time, the room was filled with the sound of grinding medicinal herbs.

Some medicinal materials are relatively hard and need to be smashed with a hammer. The hammer she ordered at the iron shop came in handy.

After smashing it several times, break the hard medicinal materials into almost pieces, then put them into the stone pound and smash them.

There are big and small stone pots. The medicinal materials that are difficult to grind are placed in the big stone pot. People step on the wooden pole of the stone pot with their feet and smash the medicinal materials. After the medicinal materials are completely crushed into powder, they are moved to the small stone pot. , grind slowly with a stone pestle.

 After grinding, put it into a fine sieve to sieve. After sifting, grind the sifted material twice and then sift it once more before it is completely ground. After He Yang and the others had ground the medicinal materials, Gu Jinli pointed to the eight medicinal materials placed in eight wooden bowls and said: "After mixing these medicinal materials according to a certain proportion, and then frying them, the seasoning and spices are ready. "

She took out three packets of spices and handed them to Mr. Lei Wu: "Grandpa Wu, try it. This is the spice I made. The five characters written on it are Wufu spices. The five medicinal materials used are used as raw materials and the Liufu spices are used." Six kinds of medicinal materials are used as raw materials, and eight kinds of spices are used for the Beatitudes."

Lei Wuye took the three packets of spices from her, turned around and put the three packets of spices on the table, opened them one by one, dipped some spices into his mouth together with Ah Ji, and put them in his mouth to taste.

As soon as the spices entered their mouth, a fresh fragrance filled their entire mouth. It was a fragrance they had never tasted before.

 Among the three spices, the Beatitudes spice has the best taste.

Lei Wuye looked at A Ji and asked him: "How is it? Is there any conflict?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Jinli knew that this Ah Ji was someone who understood pharmacology.

Ah Ji said: "No, it doesn't conflict with each other, and it is not harmful to the body. Eating it for a long time can also remove the cold and dampness in the body."

 After a pause, he added: "It's very suitable for the people over there, they will like it."

Gu Jinli's eyes lit up when he heard this. It seemed like this business was going to work. But Lei Wuye did not let go immediately, but said: "We brought some cattle, sheep and rabbits today. The roast beef and mutton tastes very good. It's almost noon. Let's eat first. After dinner Let's talk about it later.”

 Cow, sheep and rabbit?

Gu Jinli thought for a while and realized that he wanted to test the spices on the spot.

“Okay, let's eat roast beef and mutton today.” Jiang County Lieutenant smiled loudly and said to the third grandfather, “Brother Gu, let's go to your house and make some noise.”

 This is a workshop, a place for work, not a place for barbecue.

"Sure, let's go to my house." Third Grandpa agreed and called to the village chief, Dr. Wu and Dr. Du's family.

Village Chief He wanted to have a meal with Jiang Xianwei and let his son and grandson show their faces. He did not refuse and followed Qin Guluotian's family to Gu Jinli's house.

As for He Laoguo and He Dazhuang, they stayed in the workshop to work, grinding beans for grinding beans and grinding spices for spice grinders.

He Sanleizi and Mo Chunyue, two people who signed the deed of betrayal, were responsible for guarding the workshop.

 The workshop yard is not far from Gu Jinli's house, and they arrived at Gu Jinli's house not long after.

Jiang County Lieutenant was not polite. As soon as he entered the yard of Gu Jinli's house, he immediately shouted to the two men driving the cart: "Kunzi, Ah Chuan, move all the cattle, sheep and rabbits in the mule cart!"

 “Hey.” Kunzi and Ah Chuan jumped out of the mule cart and moved the cattle, sheep and rabbits out of the cart.

There were half a cow that had been killed long ago; there were two live sheep; there were about twenty rabbits, placed in a large wooden cage.

In addition to cattle, sheep and rabbits, Kunzi also brought down a piece of meat the size of a washbasin, which was sunburned and turned red from gray to gray.

Qin Sanlang took a look and recognized that it was horse meat, and his guess about the identities of Lei Wuye and A Ji deepened.

Horses are military assets and are strictly ordered to be slaughtered in Dachu. Only outside Dachu, in places where there is no shortage of horses, will horses be killed and eaten for their meat.
