Chapter 296: Sick Questions
Gu Jinli accepted the post and said to Jiang Puzi: "Uncle Puzi, don't worry, we will definitely go tomorrow." ”
The Jiang family invited her, Gu Dashan, and the three grandfathers and three grandmothers to go together.
Jiang Puzi listened and said with a smile: "Nacheng, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." ”
He added: "It's not far, it's in Hukou Town, and you can get there in an hour by mule cart." ”
The soybean oil workshop was not opened in Qingfu Town, nor in the county seat, but in Hukou Town.
Hukou Town is close to Qingfu Town and the county seat, Mrs. Jiang has a Zhuangzi in Hukou Town, and the Zhuangzi is all the descendants of the Jiang family, and the soybean oil workshop is directly opened in the Zhuangzi, which is safe and convenient.
After Jiang Puzi finished speaking, he flicked his whip and drove away on a mule cart.
That night, Gu Jinan came back and said that Shang Xiucai was going to take him to the soybean oil workshop tomorrow.
"Mr. said that if you want to be an official, you can't read dead books, you have to look at new things, this soybean oil is a new thing that benefits the country and the people, and the wooden oil press, saying that Uncle A Ji has done an excellent job, let me open my eyes."
When Gu Jinli heard this, he became interested. Looking at that Ah Ji's unfathomable appearance, I don't know that the wooden oil press he made is different from what she imagined?
Early the next morning, Jiang Puzi came to pick them up in a mule cart. Then, after meeting Ah Jiu and them at the entrance of Shangjia Village, two mule carts rushed towards Hukou Town.
An hour later, they arrived at a village outside Hukou Town.
Zhuangzi is quite big, like a small village, the whole Zhuangzi is surrounded by a blue brick wall, only one gate enters and exits, and the Zhuangzi gate is guarded by two courtyards, go in to check, like a small dock fort.
Jiang also came with Yuan Yuan, and when they saw Gu Jinli, they were surprised, and explained with a smile: "This is a dock fort of a scholar clan in the previous dynasty, after the establishment of Da Chu, the scholar clan fell, and this dock fort has changed hands several times, and when my mother bought it, the dock fort built before had collapsed, and only this circle of blue brick walls remained. ”
In the past, the great families of the dynasty could raise private soldiers, and the dock fort was a place to raise soldiers to avoid military disasters.
"Sister Xiaoyu, hug~" Yuan Yuan liked Gu Jinli very much, and after seeing her, he reached out to hug her, and said, "I want something delicious." ”
Gu Jinli smiled and asked her, "Do you want me to hug you, or do you want something delicious?" ”
Yuan Yuan frowned and thought for a while, and said, "It's delicious." ”
Gu Jinli: "......"
Well, it's a snack.
The third grandmother smiled: "Yuan Yuan, Grandma Gu brought you something delicious, it's braised vegetables and roast duck." ”
Gu Daya's family was grateful for the help of the Jiang family, and after learning that they were coming to the soybean oil workshop, they brought all the lo-mei and roast duck they made today, with three baskets of lo-mei and ten roast ducks.
"Is it delicious?" Yuan Yuan's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand towards the third grandmother: "Hug ~ It's delicious." ”
Jiang's face turned red, and he scolded Yuan Yuan softly: "Are you hungry at home?" Why are you so greedy? ”
Shang Xiucai was informal, lifted the mule cart, twisted off a roast duck leg and gave it to Yuan Yuan: "Eat, little gluttonous cat." ”
"Wow~ It's a red duck leg." Yuan Yuan also ate roast duck a few times during this time, and he loved this red duck very much, so he took the duck leg and gnawed it.
Jiang Jiao had already led someone out to greet her, and when he saw Yuan Yuan eating roast duck legs, he laughed at her: "You just have a few small teeth, can you bite it?" It's better for the second uncle to eat for you. ”
"Second uncle, glutton." Yuan Yuan was afraid that his uncle would come to rob him, so he hurriedly turned his head and didn't look at Jiang Jiao.
Jiang Jiao laughed, stopped teasing her, looked at Gu Jinli and said, "Little fish girl, everyone is waiting, come with me." ”
"Okay." Gu Jinli nodded and followed Jiang Jiao to the soybean oil workshop.
The soybean oil workshop is huge, with five rows of houses about five meters apart, and each house has three rooms, each of which is large.
Bang bang bang!
In the house, the workers were striking the wooden pole with a large ram, and the wooden pole was pressed heavily to blow the cake embryo in the chamber and fry the oil.
Boom~
Soybean oil falls into the wooden trough like rain.
Gu Jinli looked at the falling soybean oil and frowned slightly...... Ah Ji improved the wooden oil press, the pressure of the press is greater, and the oil can be quickly produced once it is impacted.
"How? This wooden oil press is good, isn't it? Jiang Jiao asked with a smile, very satisfied with the wooden oil press made by Ah Ji: "Originally, it took six men to pull the hammer to squeeze out the oil, but after Ah Ji changed it twice, only two people can pull the hammer to squeeze out soybean oil." The oil yield is still very high, twenty catties of soybeans can produce four and a half catties of oil, three taels more than what you do. ”
Jiang Jiao asked the workers to bring a few jars of soybean oil, and said, "This is Ah Ji's improved soybean oil, you smell it." ”
Gu Jinli smelled the three jars of soybean oil, and his brows furrowed again: "These soybean butters have been fried with peppercorns and sesame seeds, and this jar of soybean oil has been boiled with lard." ”
"Haha, little fish girl, your nose is really smart, it's true, this soybean oil fried with peppercorns and sesame seeds will be more fragrant, and the method is also what Ah Ji thought, not bad."
Gu Jinli paused and said, "Uncle Ah Ji is very smart. ”
"You're not stupid either." Ah Ji wore an azure gown, strode into the house, and asked Gu Jinli: "How, is there anything that needs to be improved in the soybean oil workshop?" ”
Gu Jinli said: "There is one, there are many Taoist temples in Dachu, and there are many rich old ladies who are vegetarians, and the soybean oil workshop must leave pure soybean oil without adding anything, so that it can be sold to Qing Xiu and vegetarians." ”
He also said: "If the two uncles want to make the soybean oil business bigger as soon as possible, it is best to send some soybean oil to the Taoist temple." In this way, those people who go to Taoist temples will know about soybean oil and will be more willing to buy it. ”
"Haha, we were worried about how to make the people of Da Chu accept soybean oil, you gave an idea, and it was really smart." Jiang Jiao clapped his hands and praised, and said to Ah Ji: "Ah Ji, it's right for you to let us invite the little fish girl to the workshop to take a look, look, this girl helped us a lot as soon as she came." ”
Ah Ji's face was a little bad.
He asked Jiang Jiao to invite Gu Jinli to the workshop, because he wanted her to see the results in the workshop, so that she could know that she was not the only smart person in the world, and he Ning Ji could also make new things, but he didn't expect to be won by her again.
Ah Ji quickly raised a smile and praised Gu Jinli.
It's a pity that Gu Jinli has already seen his previous face.
She wondered, why did this Ah Ji ask Second Uncle Jiang to invite her to the workshop?
She didn't wonder for long, when she finished lunch and took Yuan Yuan to play in the Zhuangzi, Ah Ji came.
He didn't hide it, and asked her a question directly: "Do you know that everyone in the world has a personal opinion?" Especially in the big families, the most important thing is to be the right person, if someone forcibly breaks through the view of the family and marries someone they shouldn't marry, the consequences will be very serious. ”
Gu Jinli was puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Uncle Aji, you're not sick, are you?" ”
It must be very sick, or how would I ask her such a sick question.
What is right, how old is she, he told her this.
And, is it his turn to say it?
He's not her father!
