Chapter Ninety-Three: The Mysterious Stone
Thinking that these are some foods or seasonings, they must be related to cooking, so they also rely on Qin Zijin, Qin Baozhen and her mother Qin Chen are responsible for running the village, and Qin Huaidong is responsible for running the surrounding villages.
This soybean is not a valuable thing, seeing that there are still people who buy it with money, and the price is fair, every family is naturally happy to take out the soybeans and sell them, and some even sell them at all.
Garlic is not a precious thing, every household has to grow and eat it all year round, and it is natural that it will not be reluctant to sell.
Qin Huaidong and the others were naturally very easy to put away, and some of them were even grateful to them, after all, no one had collected soybeans before, and there was no such opportunity to make money.
When the last batch of Luozi came back from shipment, Qin Zijin naturally paid Qin Baoli and the two aunts a lot of wages.
The eldest grandfather's family is not separated, most of the wages will be confiscated, and the Qin family is united, and the family is busy without two hearts.
Thinking that the population of the family was increasing, and the older young man was going to marry a daughter-in-law, and he also had some money in his hand, the matter of expanding the house was put on the agenda.
But the Qin family doesn't know when it started, and they are used to discussing everything with Qin Zijin, but Qin Dahai also deliberately found Qin Zijin over, and asked, "Thanks to you, our family also has some surplus silver, so I want to expand the house a little wider, seeing that several of your cousins and cousins are also old, and they have reached the age of marrying a daughter-in-law, our house is not enough to live in, how about we build two more rooms on the left and right?" ”
Qin Zijin thought about it and shook his head, "Since you want to build it, why don't you also build a decent new house, although the courtyard you live in now is quite large, it is a little old, and I am afraid it will have to be renovated in a few years." ”
Qin Dahai sighed, "Although we have some silver in our hands, Huaidong and Baozhen are still planning to go to the county seat to open a restaurant, and they also have to ask for silver, which is not enough to toss." ”
Qin Zijin didn't say that I have silver as soon as she opened her mouth, she knew the temperament of her grandfather, and even if she was close, she would not take advantage of her.
So he said euphemistically, "Then don't worry, wait until you have more money in your hand, Aunt Baoli will definitely earn more and more income here, don't they collect soybeans, big brother?" When this business is done, there will be no shortage of silver. ”
Qin Dahai called Qin Zijin over and also wanted to ask, a utility room in their house was almost full of recovered soybeans and garlic, but he really couldn't figure out how this thing could make money.
Hearing the grandfather's worry, Qin Zijin responded with a smile, "I'm almost done with the past two days, and when I'm done with the work in hand, I'll come and make this soybean, and you'll know when the time comes." ”
Thinking of Qin Zijin's ghost ideas one after another, and the silver was taken home like flowing water, Qin Dahai couldn't help but sigh, "The third family has such a capable girl as you, and their father and son are also blind." ”
Qin Zijin lowered her head and didn't answer, after all, she didn't have any impression of her father and grandfather.
Fortunately, Qin Dahai saw Qin Zijin lowering her head, thinking that she was sad, so she didn't mention it again.
Qin Zijin has designed part of the new style in the past few days, and taught it to Baoli Baochun and several aunts, and the old style before was handed over to five apprentices.
There are still a few styles that I had thought of before, because the gold and silver jewelry ordered by Yang Yan has not yet been delivered, and we have to wait for him to send it.
Finally empty, Qin Zijin informed the eldest brother Qin Huaidong and the lobby sister Qin Baozhen that they didn't have to go out to collect soybeans for the time being.
Early in the morning, after breakfast, Qin Zijin took Bai Yunge and called the eldest brother and sister and his party to go out with a basket on their backs.
I don't know where they went and what they did, but they came back from outside in the evening, tired and sweaty.
Qin Huaidong and Bai Yunge didn't know what they were carrying in the basket on their backs, and they looked heavy.
After carrying it back, he was treated as a treasure by Qin Zijin, so Qin Huaidong found a room and carefully put it into the house.
The Qin family was curious to ask, what good things did they get back from a trip, it was mysterious, Qin Huaidong and Qin Baozhen were embarrassed to say that it was a stone.
After Qin Zijin came over the next day, they saw it with their own eyes, and they couldn't believe it, Qin Zijin actually found a bunch of stones and treated them as treasures.
However, in Qin Zijin's eyes, these are all treasures, and he specially explained to his grandfather that this thing must not be exposed, whether it is now or in the future, it must be kept secret.
Seeing Qin Zijin so solemn, Qin Dahai naturally didn't dare to be sloppy, and he specially summoned everyone in the family that night to solemnly instruct him.
After making such a fuss, the Qin family inexplicably regarded the stones in the house as treasures.
And Qin Zijin started the next day, he took Bai Yunge and locked him in the house with Qin Huaidong and Qin Baozhen, and began to pound the pile of stones.
Qin Huaidong worked hard to grind the stone in his hand, and he was still at a loss, not understanding what this cousin wanted to do.
But these stones are really precious in Qin Zijin's eyes, and whether tofu can succeed or not depends on these stones.
In fact, after so many years, she couldn't tell which of these gray-white stones were gypsum, so she could only try them one by one.
handed over the matter of grinding stones to the eldest brother, and Qin Zijin took Bai Yunge to grind soybeans.
This stone grinding is not only a physical work, but also has to master the key to it, Qin Zijin has a lot of strength, but he can't master the skill, as soon as he reaches the corner, he can't pull the master, it is better to have Qin Baozhen who does not have his own strength.
Bai Yunge is also proficient, presumably she has pushed the stone mill before, but it is easier for her, she only needs to stand next to the stone mill and feed the soaked soybeans.
Since it was the experimental stage, Qin Zijin didn't plan to get much, she had to distinguish which stone was gypsum first.
After grinding the soybeans and filtering out the bean dregs, I began to cook the soybean milk.
Most of the people who have drunk it say that it is good, it is much more delicious than the bean dregs, and of course not everyone likes it, after all, everyone's taste is different.
Put the boiled soy milk in several pots, and then take the gray and white stone powder ground by the eldest brother and mix it with water, and rush it into each basin.
Then gathered aside to watch the lively Qin family, and soon saw a magical scene, and it was only half a cup of tea, and two pots of soy milk quickly condensed into lumps.
Qin Zijin found the prepared baggage, wrapped the block, and put it into the basket to pass the water.
looked at the Qin family who were looking at each other with wide eyes, and said happily, "That's it." ”
Qin Dahai said worriedly on the side, "Are you sure you can eat this?" ”
Qin Zijin responded with a smile, "I'll make it for everyone to taste in a while." ”
Immediately, he was busy explaining to his eldest brother Qin Huaidong, "The two bowls of water that just succeeded, can the eldest brother write down the stones used?" ”
Qin Huaidong's eyes lit up and he answered, "Don't worry, remember it." ”
