After seeing Ma Xiaofang leave, Zhu Hongsan secretly scolded: Damn, I will say in the future, there will be wine today and drunk tomorrow. Or do you study your own money-making plan first, science and technology are the primary productive forces, the great men of the previous life will not lie to me.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan opened the door of his laboratory and continued to study his monosodium glutamate. Zhu Hongsan looked at the liquid he produced, it was obviously soy sauce, but it was obviously made according to the MSG fermentation process in his memory. Don't understand why? Could it be that other strains entered during fermentation? When he was thinking about it, someone came in at the door, and Zhu Hongsan saw that it was Qian Fatzi who came.

Qian Fatzi walked into the courtyard and walked into Zhu Hongsan's rocking chair and said, "Big brother, what are you busy with?" ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "It's nothing, make something." ”

Qian Fatzi said: "I saw Ma Xiaofang enter the city just now, and I came to you again?" ”

"Oh yes, let me tell her a story."

Qian Fatzi smiled and said, "Big brother, I think he has a crush on you?" ”

Zhu Hongsan glanced up and said, "How can you see it?" ”

"Big brother, you see, Ma Xiaofang will basically not be able to find her mother-in-law's family in the future, and she can't do it outside of filling the house for others, so there is a reason for filling the house when you are a grandmother, and Ma Xiaofang is in love with your childhood sweetheart, so I can only find you in the end."

Zhu Hongsan frowned: "What are you talking nonsense, I am a clan, and after marrying me according to the law, their family will not be able to be officials, and the old horse head can still be an official fan?" ”

"Big brother, you don't understand, it's my father who can't be an official, and my brother is not affected, plus our mountain is high and the emperor is far away, so He County Commander is their family, can this kind of thing still be done?"

Zhu Hongsan sighed, didn't want to talk about this question, and asked, "What are you doing here?" You won't have anything to talk to me. ”

When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, if you don't say it, I forgot, big brother, you remember that you said last year that my mother would cry to death, and you also said that you came to you at that time." ”

Zhu Hong didn't raise his head three times and said, "What's wrong?" Did your father marry a concubine? ”

Qian Fatzi sighed and said: "I have been married a long time ago, last year my father bought a Qingqi person in Goolan Courtyard in Wuchang Mansion, and in June this year, the doctor came to see that he was pregnant, and my mother has been crying for two months." I've come to you three times, won't you go to Fucheng for twenty-seven days? I haven't found it. Big brother, you can help me come up with an idea, as long as I make my mother happy. ”

Zhu Hong said at three o'clock: "This matter is simple, you choose one of the two paths." The first is that you study poetry and books hard, take the Xiucai exam next year, take the exam the year after tomorrow, and take the Jinshi exam the year after tomorrow, so don't say that your father is looking for a concubine, that is, looking for a hundred to have a thousand children, and your mother will not be sad. ”

The fat man grinned and said, "Aren't you embarrassed for me, my mother won't be sad if I have that level." ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "The second way." "I just said that I thought that I needed an experiment for this MSG, and I wanted to wait for Zhao Goudan to come back, but it seems that I don't need it. Hey. Zhu Hongsan continued: "The second road is a bit detrimental to Yangshou, you have to do something for me before I can tell you." ”

"What are you doing, you can't fight, I don't know how to fight."

"You are still needed in a fight, Zhao Goudan and Tie Niu are enough. How about I let you take a sip of the soy sauce I made? ”

The fat man said, "Ah, the soy sauce you made? You won't die if you drink it. ”

Zhu Hongsan said like a big bad wolf tempting the little white rabbit: "Then what, the rhubarb has been eaten, don't you see that it is not dead." ”

"Then you won't taste it yourself?"

"Can you find out the shortcomings when there are many people, do you want me to make an idea, don't forget it."

Qian Fatzi hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll try, I'll see me foaming at the mouth and send me to the hospital later." ”

"Don't worry, what so much nonsense." Zhu Hongsan went in and took a can of finished MSG soy sauce, opened the lid and handed it to Qian Fatzi: "Here you go, try it." ”

Qian Fatzi sniffed it and said, "The taste is okay, but it's not the same as soy sauce, and it has a strange smell." After speaking, he poured out a little reddish-brown liquid and put it on the palm of his hand, and licked it with his tongue: "Well, it's so fresh, there is an indescribable feeling, a bit like fish soup, but it's much fresher than that." ”

Zhu Hongsan waited for a while to see that the fat man didn't react, and he also got a taste: Well, it is much fresher than the current soy sauce, and it can basically reach the taste of the best fresh soy sauce in later generations, proving that his approach is right, the protein in the gluten has been broken down into glutamate, but this color can't be done, the later generations used the separation method, and now they can't make a high-speed centrifuge, but when the soy sauce is bought, it should be able to become, the strange taste is easy to do, it should be that the fermentation temperature is not controlled to produce the strange smell, and the next step is to experiment with the fermentation temperature.

Qian Fatzi saw Zhu Hongsan bowing his head and pondering, he didn't mean to give himself an idea at all, and said hurriedly: "Big brother, I've tasted it all, what about you agreeing to my idea?" ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Do you know what your mother is crying for? ”

"It's not that I don't have my father's favor." The fat man pouted

"Wrong, you didn't hear the hustle and bustle of the world when you were studying, it's all for profit; The world is crowded, is it all for the sake of profit? The essence of all things is profit, and your mother cries because you are not angry, and in the future most of your father's property will fall into the hands of your younger brother, if anything. ”

The fat man blinked his eyes and said, "It makes sense, what should I do?" ”

Zhu Hongsan glanced at the fat man and said, "It's very simple, just cut off the chain of interests and let it return to you and your mother." What did your grandfather do? ”

"My grandfather's family has been the steward of King Tan of Changsha Mansion for generations, but my grandfather's family is only one of the small stewards of King Tan, and he is only responsible for a farm outside Changsha of King Tan's Mansion, and he doesn't have much power."

"How many uncles do you have?"

"Five in total"

Zhu Hongsan nodded: "That's no problem." Let me say a few things for you to remember, first, let your mother write a letter to your grandfather's family, saying that your father is going to divorce his wife, and let your uncles come to support her. The second is that you can find a subordinate in your house, anything is fine, as long as it is a man, let him write a letter, saying that he has fornicated with your father's concubine, and he is afraid that the master will punish him, so he runs away.

Then give him some money as far as he can run. The third is to let you go outside to pick more purslane, give it to your mother, and boil it into soup and add it to your father's concubine's tocolytic medicine. Also, the letters must wait until your uncles come to find out, not too early or too late, you know. ”

Qian Fatzi exclaimed: "Isn't this a bit too ruthless, according to what you say, my aunt is going to dip in the pig cage." ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "This is just my suggestion, you can do what you want, you feel that if you want to save your aunt's life, you only use the third article." But I guess your mother can use them all. ”

Qian Fat Man thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go home and tell my mother to see what she does." ”

After the matter was over, the fat man had no desire to stay anymore, so he got up and left. Zhu Hongsan looked at the back of the fat man and said secretly: "It's not because I don't bother to care about your family's because of your fat man's face." ”

Qian Fatzi's full name is Qian Lide, and his father gave him this name definitely because he wanted him to be knowledgeable and moral, but Qian Fatzi is really not that material. However, Zhu Hongsan found that Qian Lide was exquisite, and he was definitely a dog's leg.

Zhu Hongsan saw an article on the Internet before, the late Ming Dynasty was an era of a large consumption of talents, and as long as one of the ministers killed by Chongzhen in the past 17 years stayed and ran to Nanjing, the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not easily destroy the Southern Ming. It was precisely because Chongzhen killed a large number of talents, plus the talents who died in the war, that in the end, the Southern Ming court faced a situation where no one was available.

There is no choice but to pull out a big one in the pile, and use Shi Kefa, who is ambitious and talented, to serve as the governor of Jiangbei. Zhu Hongsan knew his identity and status, and before he became big, he would not hold himself at all, so he could only choose and cultivate himself since childhood.

At present, the first person around him who can be regarded as a talent is Ma Mingyuan, this guy is definitely a ruthless person like Chen Ping, and the second is a fat man. As for the others, they are all busybodies, so don't mention them.

Seeing that no one was finally coming, Zhu Hongsan could finally start his own experiment. The human experiment of Qian Fatzi just now also proved the edibility of this soy sauce, but it is a bit weird. Zhu Hongsan believes that the fermentation time is wrong, and the only thing that can be proved is to increase the experimental sample. Zhu Hongsan decided to get five samples this time and ferment them at different times to see how it goes.

After finishing everything, it was almost dark, so Zhu Hongsan put the five jars in a cool and ventilated place and marked them. Wait for the fermentation to complete. While she was busy, the old lady pushed the door and came in.

Zhao Chunhua saw that her son was sweating profusely, and asked distressedly, "Son, what are you doing?" Just came back yesterday and are you not idle today? ”

"Mother, I'm making a thing, and after success, it's as important as the seven things of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea."

"Ah, it's so powerful, what are you doing, let my mother take a look."

Zhu Hongsan poured a little bit of the soy sauce just now and showed it to his mother.

The old lady took a look: "Isn't this soy sauce, the color is not as good as soy sauce." ”

"Mother, you can try it."

The old lady nodded a little with her tongue and said, "It's so fresh, it's as fresh as fish soup, no, it's fresher than fish soup, son, how do you make it." It's just that this strange smell is not good, and if this strange smell is removed, it will definitely sell well. ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "I haven't thought of a name yet, the strange taste is easy to do, I believe that after a while, I will be able to make soy sauce without a strange taste." The old lady is waiting to get rich. ”

The old lady said: "By the way, I just remembered something, I saw Ma Xiaofang go out from our alley in the afternoon, and she came to you again?" ”

"yes, he asked me to tell her stories."

"Son, I tell you, stay away from her."

"Why, mother, I think Ma Xiaofang is a good girl."

The old lady pointed her finger at my head: "Have you taken a fancy to her, let me tell you, you will never marry her in the future." ”

Zhu Hongsan was puzzled and asked: "Why, you keep saying that she is not good, there must be a reason, it won't be another set of big feet and height." ”

The old lady said angrily: "This is a reason, another reason, do you know how your father died?" ”

"You know, didn't you say that you were crushed to death by a car."

"You're older now, I'll be honest with you, your father was crushed to death by their car, and Ma Xiaofang is a native of Chengdu. That year, her mother's family sent her a few carts of things, and crushed your father to death when she passed through the county seat. ”

And what's going on? Zhu Hongsan thought: "Didn't you say that my cheap dad wanted to touch porcelain and was crushed to death?" It doesn't seem to have much to do with their family. But he didn't dare to say this, Zhu Hongsan knew that he was going to say this, and the old lady must be furious. It's the right thing to do now, and I'll talk about that later.

After thinking about it clearly, Zhu Hongsan said: "Okay, I'll listen to my mother." But I'm hungry, so hurry up and cook. ”

The old lady was also very happy when she saw Zhu Hongsan agreeing to her, and said, "Okay, let's cook now." What about your cousin? Didn't come back? ”

As soon as the old lady said this, Zhu Hongsan found out that his cousin hadn't come back for a day, and he was out of nowhere, so he had time to ask him.

Outside, it looked like it was about to get dark, and Zhao Goudan came back, and he was injured again. Zhu Hongsan lay on the bed and asked, "Big cousin, what are you doing?" ”

Zhao Goudan wiped his face and said, "I didn't do anything, it's just that those gangsters in Nancheng always look for me to fight." ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Big cousin, you like to fight very much." ”

"It's a good feeling to knock them down one by one." Zhao Goudan was happy.

Zhu Hongsan rolled his eyes and thought: What a strange hobby.
