Chapter 204: Sheep Gut (1st Update)
Hearing that there were her father's relics inside, Gu Yun felt that what he said was a little too much, and he said, "When I go to the mansion and say hello to Governor Yang, I will definitely be able to find it." ”
Yu Jiao was silent.
Gu Yun saw that she was lost, and she didn't talk nonsense to trouble her.
After the carriage arrived at the mansion, the little servant took out the pair of cards of the Yang Mansion and said to the yacha guarding the door, "I am a subordinate of the Yang Mansion, and I have something important to find our master." ”
The yacha hurriedly went inside to spread the word, and not long after, Yang Yuanchen walked out of the mansion, came to the carriage, and asked, "What's wrong?" But can't the wrought iron master do it? ”
Gu Yun opened the curtain of the car, looked at Yu Jiao, and said to Yang Yuanchen, "Her purse is lost, you ask someone to help find it." ”
"Purse?" Yang Yuanchen heard that he had lost something and asked, "Where did you lose it?" ”
"At the door of Liuxiangju, it was stolen by a woman, so it should be a habitual offender." Gu Yun didn't wait for Yu Jiao to speak, so he said first.
Yang Yuanchen was a little ashamed, as the prefect of Qingzhou, there were thieves under his jurisdiction who stole in broad daylight, and it was said that he was not well governed, he asked, "What is the purse like?" What's in it? Can there be a marker? ”
The purse was embroidered by Yu Poria for Yu Jiao, using the leftovers of the skirt she made for Yu Jiao last time, Yu Poria said, "The purse is a plain soft satin with honey color, embroidered with three red plums." ”
Yu Jiao added in a hoarse voice, "There are more than a dozen taels of silver in it, and there is also a relic of my father. ”
"What kind of relic?" Yang Yuanchen asked.
Yu Jiao pursed her lips, hesitated, and pondered, "It's not a rare thing, it's an inconspicuous piece of jade." ”
Yang Yuanchen said, "I'll let people go to investigate strictly, and when there is news, I will send someone to tell Miss Yu." ”
Yu Jiao nodded, and said hoarsely, "Let Governor Yang bother." ”
Yang Yuanchen cared about the objects to be built and asked, "How is the wrought iron master?" Can something be made? ”
"The mold has been made, and whether it can be made will have to wait a few more days to know the result." Gu Yun felt uncomfortable when she heard Yu Jiao's hoarse voice, and said first without waiting for her to speak.
Yang Yuanchen bowed his head and said, "The lamb intestines that Miss Yu wants have been prepared in the house, so how to make the sheep intestines still needs Miss Yu to do it herself." ”
Yu Jiao nodded.
"Then we'll go back to the house first, the purse matter, let your subordinates use more snacks." After Gu Yun finished speaking, he lowered the curtain.
Yang Yuanchen reminded in a low voice, "Gu Xiaohou and Liu Gongzi should be careful when they are outside, the invigilator sent by the capital has already arrived, and there are many people in this mansion, if they are asked to recognize the two, I am afraid that there will be trouble." ”
Liu Ziqi said in the carriage, "Let's go home." ”
Yang Yuanchen watched the little servant drive the carriage away, turned around and entered the mansion, and arranged for a government messenger to find Yu Jiao's stolen purse.
Yu Jiao and the others went back to the back door of the Yang Mansion quietly, and the two little maids of the Mu family who were waiting outside the gate of the West Garden did not see her all morning, and they were already a little anxious, and they wanted to enter the garden several times, but they were stopped by the little maids of the Yang Mansion.
Yu Jiao returned to the West Garden, and after listening to Xiao Ning talk about this, she deliberately walked around the gate of the West Courtyard to reassure the two maids.
The little maid sent the prepared lamb intestines, and Gu Yun's three men all gathered around Yu Jiao to see how she made the lamb intestines.
Yu Jiao didn't care about them watching, anyway, they were disgusted when they saw it, and it didn't matter to her.
Yu Jiao asked her subordinates to take the plant ashes from the kitchen, sifted the plant ashes to remove the debris, soaked them in water in proportion, and let them take them to the stove to boil.
Then, she began to pick up the sheep intestines, and she scraped off the fat neatly, only taking the innermost mucosa.
The mucosa of the lamb's intestine is extremely thin, and it is difficult for inexperienced people to remove the mucosa whole.
After taking the mucous membranes of ten lamb intestines in a row, the next man brought the boiled grass and wood ash water over.
"What is this filthy water for?" Gu Yun asked curiously.
Yu Jiao said in a hoarse voice, "Clean." Her voice was much better than it had been in the morning, and she was able to make a sound now.
Gu Yun said with some disgust, "This is too dirty, isn't it?" What has been washed with this water still works? ”
Yu Jiao saw his uninformed appearance, so she didn't bother to explain to him, and deliberately coughed her throat.
When Liu Ziqi heard this, he said to Gu Yun, "You don't ask a few words, Miss Yu's throat is uncomfortable, don't disturb her to do things." ”
Gu Yun had no choice but to stop talking, walked to the chair on the side and sat down, and wanted to have a cup of tea, but the room was full of the smell of sheep intestines, so he put down the teacup again.
After the plant ash water is cooled, the boiled yellowed water is clearly distinguished from the precipitated plant ash below, and Yu Jiao scoops out the upper layer of clean light yellow liquid.
This kind of water that has been boiled with plant ash is considered to be a relatively coarse alkaline solution.
Yu Jiao repeatedly cleaned the mucous membrane in the water several times, asked the subordinates to prepare a large urn, and made a simple wooden shelf out of wood, dried the cleaned mucosa on the wooden frame, and put it in the urn.
Xiao Ning was also full of curiosity when he saw her doing this, but because of Yu Jiao's voice, he couldn't ask her, so he asked Yu Lingling on the side, "What is she doing?" ”
Yu Lingling shook her head, she didn't know what Yu Jiao was doing.
Yu Jiao asked her subordinates to take a stone bowl, she put the stone Liuhuang in the bowl, lit it with wax, put it at the bottom of the large urn, covered the mouth of the urn with a log lid, and left a small gap, so that a little air could enter the urn, so that the burning stone Liuhuang would not be extinguished.
After doing this, she explained aloud, "Smoking with stone to keep yellow can prevent insects, rot and not mold." ”
"After this smoke, the sheep intestines are ready?" Gu Yun didn't know when he had walked to the urn, he leaned over to the mouth of the urn, smelled it, and the pungent smell poured out, he choked and coughed, and almost burst into tears by the smell of Shi Liuhuang.
Seeing him like this, Yu Jiao secretly said that she deserved it, and the corners of her lips imperceptibly hooked up a smile.
She said in a dumb voice, "It has to be smoked for six hours, and after it is smoked, it has to be kneaded into threads, and then decocted with medicinal herbs." ”
"It turns out that the sheep intestines are made like this, but it is really laborious, Miss Yu has worked really hard for my hand." Xiao Ning said with some embarrassment.
"Wait until tomorrow when our sisters come back." Yu Jiao bowed and said goodbye.
"Then Miss Yu walks slowly." Liu Ziqi called the little maid in and asked him to send Yu Jiao and the two back.
Yu Fuling and Yu Jiao went out of the West Garden, led the two maids of the Mu family to get into the carriage of the Yang Mansion, and returned to the Mu family.
As soon as they entered the door, a maid said that Mu Yan was waiting for them in the side hall, and Yu Jiao and Yu Poria went to the side hall.
"There weren't any moths today, did they?" Mu Yan looked Yu Jiao and Yu Poria up and down, and asked with concern.
Yu Jiao shook her head, smiled, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's nothing, I still need to go to the Yang Mansion tomorrow to see Mrs. Yang again." ”
