Chapter 388: Kneeling and Weeping
The reason why Old Man Tan is nervous is because he knows that if he fails again, he may not be able to brew soy sauce again in this life.
If the soy sauce can't be brewed, the sauce shop will not be able to continue to operate, then he will die!
Although Qiduo has always been full of confidence and thinks that there is no problem with soy sauce, but when it really comes to this day, a heart can't help but mention the throat, after all, there is no absolute thing in the world.
However, she is not afraid of failure.
Any path to success is paved with the experience of countless failures.
When the auspicious time came, after some rituals, Old Man Tan trembled and lifted the lid of the wooden barrel of fermented soy sauce.
He immediately held his breath.
I didn't dare to breathe, for fear that the smell would come to the tip of my nose.
At the same time, he closed his eyes.
Seeing her grandfather's nervous look, Qiduo couldn't help but feel a little distressed, she took a deep breath, and immediately had a strong smell of sauce into her nose.
"Grandpa, the sauce smells so strong, smell it." Qiduo hurriedly looked at his grandfather and exclaimed.
Old Man Tan was overjoyed and relieved.
Sure enough, there was a familiar fragrance coming from the tip of the nose.
Although the sauce shop hasn't opened for decades, the taste is still fresh in his memory.
In the past, when my father was still alive, every time he came out of soy sauce, he smelled this smell, the rich smell of beans.
No, the smell now seems to be more fragrant than the previous smell, and it is stronger!
"Okay, get oiled!" Old Man Tan narrowed his eyes
The workers took the order, crouched down, and pulled the cork from under the barrel.
Old Man Tan personally carried the clear water and rushed to the beans that had fermented and changed color in the wooden barrel.
I saw a black liquid slowly flowing out of the round hole under the barrel.
That's soy sauce!
After the soy sauce comes out of the barrel, it goes through a series of treatments.
After the last process is completed, the soy sauce is finally completed.
There was no rush to sell them. It's about using it for the first time. See how it tastes.
The task of cooking is naturally handed over to Qiduo to do.
Seven flowers are ready to use it to make braised pork.
In the past, braised pork was made by stir-frying sugar color. Because the braised pork made with pure soy sauce is a little black, it makes people look at the first two points of poor appetite.
Qiduo didn't come to burn the sugar color this time, but just put some sugar in the middle to add some sweetness.
The smell of meat was fragrant, and the time was almost up, and Qiduo lifted the lid.
A pot of braised pork with bright red colors suddenly burst into her eyes with a fragrance.
It is not as black as it used to be made with soy sauce, and at the same time, the fragrance is stronger, so you can taste it again. Well, it's delicious, like a spice that has been put in to enhance the freshness.
In fact, in addition to soy sauce, sugar and salt, Qiduo did not put any other seasonings, including ginger and garlic, and did not add spiritual spring water.
Qiduo was worried that he would be preconceived, and he knew that the soy sauce was brewed with spiritual spring water and ability to improve the quality, and he took it for granted that it tasted good.
She took the meat out of the bowl and gave it to everyone to taste.
After everyone tasted it. unanimously gave a thumbs up and praised that the meat was delicious. It's even more beautiful than the color that was made with fried sugar before.
The color of the braised pork made with sugar color is good-looking, but the sugar color is not easy to fry, and it is easy to fry the sugar color if the technique is not good, once it is scorched, it not only loses the effect of adding color, but also the meat will taste bitter, and a pot of meat will be ruined.
However, if you just use soy sauce, you don't have to worry about the bitter taste at all.
For the sake of safety, Qiduo made several braised dishes with Tan Kee soy sauce, and at the same time made the same dish with other brands of soy sauce.
They are cooked in exactly the same way and with the same condiments, and when they are cooked, they are brought out together with the six oranges for everyone to taste.
But she didn't tell everyone which dish was made with Tan Kee soy sauce, but she quietly marked the bottom of the plate.
After tasting, Qiduo asked everyone to taste the dishes they thought were delicious.
After the dish came out, she looked at the bottom of the plate, which was all made with Tan Kee soy sauce.
This shows that the quality of Tan Kee soy sauce is far superior to other brands of soy sauce.
"Grandpa, great, we made it!" Qiduo looked at Old Man Tan with a smile.
Old Man Tan's eyes were red, he suddenly got up, walked to the door, and knelt down with a thud in the direction outside the door.
Seeing him like this, everyone was shocked.
Tan Dejin and they hurriedly went to pull, "Dad, what are you doing, hurry up." ”
Old Man Tan waved his hand, "You guys go aside." ”
Tan Dejin and the others saw the solemn look on the old man's face, and there were tears in his eyes, so they stopped talking and stepped aside.
"Dad, son, I finally brewed soy sauce, I didn't disgrace you, you can rest assured under Jiuquan, my son didn't disgrace the ancestors and ancestors! Dad, do you know the way, the soy sauce is not only brewed, but the quality is even better than the previous ones, I believe that our Tan Kee soy sauce will be able to reproduce the glory of the year.
Dad, this soy sauce can be brewed, not the work of the son alone, thanks to the help of your great-granddaughter Qiduo Qiduo girl, without her encouragement and ideas, soy sauce will definitely not be brewed so easily, you are under Jiuquan, you must bless our Tan Kee Sauce Shop soy sauce can sell in all directions, and at the same time, we must bless the seven girls with a safe life, healthy and healthy, and enjoy endless glory and wealth. Old Man Tan looked up and said very emotionally.
By the time he finished speaking, tears had already turned into a river!
Over the years, he has endured too much in his heart, and today he can finally unload the burden in his heart and live his life easily!
And all of this is because of the seven flowers.
If there are no seven flowers, let alone reopening the sauce shop, the Tan family will definitely still be living the same days as before, how can there be today's scenery and dignity.
Seeing grandpa crying, Qiduo couldn't help but cry, these years, grandpa has not lived an easy life!
Tan Dejin and Tan Debao also knelt behind Old Man Tan and swore to the sky that they must run the sauce shop well. Let the sauce shop be glorious forever.
Soy sauce is brewed. The next step is sales.
A new round of soy sauce fermentation has begun. The sauce shop was lively.
This time, the excitement was really lively, the soy sauce was brewed successfully, and everyone's hearts were no longer worried about the shadow of failure.
Qiduo took the soy sauce and, according to the promise, sent it to Yueke first.
After Uncle Nian got the soy sauce, he first opened the lid and smelled it.
"Well, it smells good!" Uncle Nian's face was intoxicated, "Seven girls." What you say is true, and it is indeed a good thing. ”
"Hehe, Uncle Nian, I don't dare to tell lies to tease you." Qiduo squinted and smiled.
Uncle Nian smiled and nodded, saying that he could call the shots, and the soy sauce that Yueke would come to in the future would only use Tan Ji's.
Qiduo thanked him, and then sent the soy sauce to the major restaurants in the town and county, including the merchants who had signed a contract with her before.
After the last, Qiduo went to Yichun Proud Building to find Xu Youxuan and told him about the success of soy sauce.
"Great. Grandpa has been waiting for your soy sauce, if he learns the news. I'm going to have a lot of fun. Xu Youxuan smiled and said hello.
"Well, I hope my soy sauce doesn't disappoint my grandfather. By the way, the soy sauce in our food city and spring breeze proudly building will have to be replaced by Tan Kee in the future. Qiduo narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"Needless to say, there are good things that don't need to be used, that's a bad thing. By the way, Xiao Qi, you can also send some soy sauce to the Kang family and let them sell it on their behalf. Xu Youxuan reminded.
"Third cousin, don't worry, my father has already sent it over. Wait for him to come back later, and then we'll go to my grandfather, can you go back?" Qiduo said with a smile.
"I'm busy here, I probably won't be able to leave." Xu Youxuan said with some disappointment.
"Okay then, let's go by ourselves, by the way, has the second cousin come back?" Qiduo asked again.
"Not yet, probably just a few days." Xu Youxuan responded, suddenly, his words changed, "By the way, Xiao Qi, Xiuyi wrote a letter to you last time, did you reply to someone?" ”
"Well, it's written, it's been sent out a long time ago." Seven flowers replied calmly.
"Oh, maybe the letter was delayed on the way, Xiuyi sent a letter to ask me, saying that he hadn't received a reply from you, and he suspected that I hadn't sent the letter to you." Xu Youxuan bowed his head slightly, and then took out a letter from the cabinet under the desk, "Well, this is for you by Xiuyi." ”
Qiduo pursed his lips secretly, took the letter, and thanked Xu Youxuan.
The last reply was indeed written a long time ago, but I forgot to send it at home, and I suddenly remembered it a few days ago, and it was only a few days after it was sent.
Wen Xiuyi's letter, she didn't want to open it very much.
You don't have to open it, and you can probably guess what's written inside.
There were some things she wasn't willing to face.
"Ahem, Xiao Qi, do you feel that Xiu Yi seems to be different to you?" Xu Youxuan cleared his throat and said suddenly.
He cautiously looked at Qiduo's face, trying to see something.
Qiduo smiled, "Third cousin, you think too much, Gongzi Wen is a good person, and he is good to everyone." Then she got up, "Third cousin, I'll go downstairs first to see if my father has come back, and I have to go to my grandfather." ”
Didn't want to discuss this.
Xu Youxuan looked at her back and sighed lightly.
I don't know if this tone is for Qiduo sighing, or for Wen Xiuyi.
Old Man Xu saw the soy sauce, and after a careful and serious tasting, he gave a thumbs up to Qiduo, "Good, good, the quality is still better than the previous Tan Ji soy sauce." Seven girls, rest assured, such a good soy sauce will definitely be popular all over the country and regain the prosperity of the year. ”
"Grandpa, you have to worry about everything." Qiduo smiled very well-behaved.
Old Man Xu smiled and said that everything was on him, and then left Qiduo father and daughter to eat.
Ten days later, Xu Linxuan's fleet returned.
Lotus root and chickens and ducks were sold out because of their excellent quality, and at the same time, Xu Linxuan also received a lot of orders for Qiduo's family.
Looking at these orders, Qiduo squinted and smiled, and he could make a bold move.
With the help of the Xu family, the business of the Qiduo family is thriving and becoming more and more smooth.
At the same time, the Hu family helped the Qiduo family buy two rough mothers-in-law, and helped train them for a few days, and then sent them to the Qiduo family.
With the help of the two mothers-in-law, Xu and Qiduo suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
In the blink of an eye, it has entered March, and there are still a few days before Tan Debao gets married.
But before that, Qiduo and they unexpectedly learned the news that the three peaches had given birth. (To be continued......)
