Chapter 187: Trying Spices

The two baskets contained a few iron medicine mills and a few copper pestle mortars, which were used to crush the medicinal herbs into powder, which she had to use to make spices.

But Da Chu also has control over these things, unless your family runs a pharmacy, otherwise it will be difficult for you to buy these things, and Dr. Wu knows about it, so he sent it to their family.

Doctor Wu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't give much, your family must still be lacking, but the old man can help you buy it." ”

Gu Jinli hurriedly said, "Thank you Grandpa Wu." "With the words of Dr. Wu, the workshop will not worry if it wants to buy iron medicine milling.

"Don't thank you, it's been three o'clock, and the auspicious time has arrived, hurry up and go in and unveil the plaque." Old Doctor Wu is also a simple person, he walked into the Gu family's workshop quickly, and after meeting the oncoming Jiang County Lieutenant, he began to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth and began to unveil the plaque.

"Brother An, Xiaoyu, San Lang, you stand in the back." The third grandmother pointed them out.

"Huh." Gu Jinli and the three of them came behind a group of adults and stood with the children of several families.

He 16 and they were left behind because of coincidence and unveiled the plaque together. After learning that the old man in a black brocade robe was the county lieutenant of Jiang County, he was so excited.

The third grandfather entrusted the matter of toasting heaven and earth to Jiang County Lieutenant.

Jiang County Lieutenant did not refuse, took over the work, picked up a wine glass placed on the incense table, and said a paragraph to heaven and earth, which means to tell heaven and earth and the ancestors of each family that Qin Gu Luotian has opened a workshop, and asks for blessing.

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

After spilling the wine, a group of people bowed down to the incense table and bowed three times.

After worshipping, Jiang County Lieutenant came to the door of the workshop with the big guys, held the rope tied with the red cloth, and shouted: "Gu's workshop unveils the plaque!" ”

When the words fell, the rope was torn off, and the red cloth covering the plaque fell, revealing the four big characters of "Gu's Workshop" with the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing.

This workshop was opened by Qin Gu and Luo Tian's family together, because there are the most people surnamed Gu, and this courtyard was bought by Gu Jinli's family, so it was named Gu's workshop, and the Qin family, Luo family, and Tian family all agreed.

"Brother Gu, congratulations on the opening of your workshop, business will be prosperous and customers will be abundant in the future." Village Chief He congratulated the third grandfather.

The third grandfather arched his hand with a smile: "Borrow the auspicious words of the village chief." ”

He Sixteen also said a few words of congratulations. After congratulating, He Sixteen and the others said goodbye and left, but they were still so excited in their hearts, County Lieutenant Jiang, they actually unveiled the plaque with the county lieutenant.

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

After speaking, he looked at Lei Wuye on the side, the meaning is obvious, hurry up, the big customer is here, show him good things, I can't lose you.

Gu Jinli was very up-to-the-point, and said to Fifth Master Lei: "Fifth Grandpa, let's take a look at the production of spices first." ”

As he spoke, he called He Yang and them, and one of them gave them two taels of medicinal herbs and asked them to start making seasoning spices.

After He Yang signed the contract on March 12, they went to Gu Jinli's house every day to learn how to make spices for the past four days.

Knock knock!

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

Some of the herbs were hard and needed to be smashed with a hammer, which she had ordered in the iron shop before.

After smashing it a few times, the hard medicinal herbs were almost crushed, and then put them in the stone bowl to smash.

There are big and small stones, the ingrindable medicinal materials are put into the big stone spoon, people step on the wooden pole of the stone spoon with their feet, smash the medicinal herbs one by one, and so on after the medicinal materials are completely smashed into powder, then move to the small stone spoon, and grind slowly with a stone pestle.

After grinding, put it in a fine sieve to sift it. After sifting, grind the sieved one or two times and sieve again to be considered thoroughly polished.

After He Yang and the others finished grinding the medicinal materials, Gu Jinli pointed to the eight medicinal materials placed in the eight wooden bowls and said, "After mixing these medicinal materials according to a certain proportion, then take them and fry them, and the seasoning spices will be done." ”

She took out three packets of seasoning spices and handed them to Lei Wuye: "Fifth grandfather try it, this is the spice I made, the five characters written are Wufu spices, and the five kinds of medicinal materials used as raw materials, and the six kinds of medicinal materials and eight kinds of medicinal materials used as raw materials respectively." ”

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

As soon as the spices entered their mouths, a fresh fragrance filled their mouths, a fragrance they had never tasted before.

Among the three seasoning spices, the Bafu spice has the best taste.

Lei Wuye looked at Ah Ji and asked him, "How?" Can there be conflicts? ”

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

A Ji said: "No, it doesn't clash with each other, there is no harm to the body, and eating it for a long time can also get rid of the cold and dampness in the body." ”

After a pause, he said, "It's very suitable for the people over there, they'll like it." ”

When Gu Jinli heard this, their eyes lit up, and it seemed that there was a door to this business. But Lei Wuye did not immediately let go, but said: "We brought some cattle, sheep and rabbits today, the taste of roast beef and mutton is excellent, seeing that it is almost noon, let's eat first, and then talk after eating." ”

Cattle, sheep, rabbits?

Gu Jinli thought about it and understood that this was to try spices on the spot.

"Okay, then let's eat roast beef and mutton today." Jiang County Lieutenant laughed loudly and said to the third grandfather: "Brother Gu, let's go to your house and disturb you." ”

This is a workshop, a place to work, and it is not good to eat barbecue here.

"Cheng, go to my house." The third grandfather responded, and greeted the village chief He, Dr. Wu, and Dr. Du's family.

Village Chief He had the heart to have a meal with Jiang County Lieutenant and let his son and grandson show their faces, so he didn't shirk it, and followed Qin Gu Luotian's family to Gu Jinli's house.

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

And He Sanzi signed a deed of sale with Mo Chunyue, who was responsible for guarding the workshop.

The courtyard of the workshop was not far from Gu Jinli's house, and they came to Gu Jinli's house after a short time.

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

"Huh." Kunzi and Ah Chuan jumped out of the mule cart and moved the cows, sheep and rabbits out of the cart.

The ox had been killed a long time ago, and there was a half-head; The sheep are live, and there are two; There were about twenty rabbits, housed in a large wooden cage.

In addition to cattle, sheep and rabbits, Kunzi also moved down a piece of meat the size of a basin and turned red in the sun.

Qin Sanlang glanced at it and recognized that it was horse meat, and his guess about the identities of Lei Wuye and Ah Ji deepened a little.

Horses are military assets, and they are strictly ordered to be slaughtered in Dachu, and only outside Dachu, where there is no shortage of horses, will horses be killed and eaten horse meat.
