In the backyard of the Yongqiu County Inn, Ji Qingling was sitting in front of the table, studying the handfuls of grain lined up on the table with Gu Yanzhang. The grain is divided into four small pointed piles, which are divided into several different kinds of wheat, millet, rice, and millet respectively, and each is spread with a piece of rice paper at the bottom of the head.

The Criminal Investigation Department has limited time for this inspection, and in addition to Yongqiu County, there are still several counties and towns to inspect, and it is impossible to delay here for too long. However, there is too much grain stored in the regular liquidation here, and several subordinates have weighed and checked according to the original method for a while, and today, the quantity seems to be almost right, but there is no way to figure out the old and new, deflated grain, and ash.

If it is an ordinary regular liquidation or treasury, it is just a matter of gritting your teeth and staying up for a few days and nights to spot check it, but the permanent liquidation in Yongqiu County is ten times larger than that of the ordinary treasury, regardless of the category, scale, and complexity of the quality of stored grain, it is not the same. If you want to conduct a thorough investigation in a very short period of time, it is impossible to do it according to the original method, and you can only create a new law.

Gu Yanzhang has been thinking about this question since he took over the deputy envoy of Gyeonggi, but he has never done it before, and he wants to imagine how he can do it. Until now I went to Deyongqiu County, I checked in person and passed ten days, although I can't say that I am familiar with everything, but I also have my own concept in my heart, so I simply assigned things to others, and I was free to think about the rest of the way.

Ji Qingling saw Gu Yanzhang take out a piece of paper, put the deflated, mildewed, and normal millet in one place, mixed them, pinched a small handful in his hand, frowned and stared at the handful of grain, and didn't make a sound for a long time, so he didn't bother, but quietly retreated, leaving Gu Yanzhang alone in the house.

She walked to the courtyard, looked for Qiuyue to come over, and asked: "I remember when I was in Yongzhou, we ate the horseshoe cake sent from the post station, and everyone said it tasted good at that time, do you still remember this thing?" ”

Qiu Yue nodded first, and then asked, "What kind of horseshoe cake is Madam talking about?" Is it the one that melts Guangnan brown sugar and cinnamon, or the one that sandwiches the sour jujube cake? ”

Ji Qingling said: "The one with the sour jujube cake." ”

Qiu Yue said: "There is such a thing, everyone used it to make appetizing things that day, the taste is sweet and sour, and it is easy to fill the stomach when eaten, which is a rare time to feed the worms." ”

It turned out that when everyone went to Yongzhou, because the city was only restored, there was a shortage of grain, rice, and materials, and Gu Yanzhang was in such a position, and the people in the house had no choice but to restrain themselves, and the meat was not daring to eat, even the rice grain also followed the post station, and the brown rice and miscellaneous rice used for cooking rice and porridge were the majority, and it was good to be able to fill the stomach, so naturally there was no condition to care about the taste.

After a long time like this, Gu and Ji are still the two, but the Yicheng in the post station is a little unbearable in his heart, it is not easy to get by next to him, but he uses the things in his hand to bring Ji Qingling a small plate of pastries from time to time, although the kitchen skills are not good, the taste is different from the north, and it has a different flavor.

Among them, there are two kinds of water chestnut cakes, one is to use glutinous rice, japonica rice to grind, put into a wooden mold, dig a hole in the middle, put the brown sugar powder mixed with dried osmanthus in the hole, make a sweet cake in the shape of mushrooms, the other is to use the water chestnut from Guangnan to grind into powder, combined with white sugar water steamed into thin slices, and sour jujube cake layer by layer with sour jujube cake.

Both tastes good, but the former is only delicious when eaten hot, and the latter is particularly popular because it is sweet and sour.

At this time, as soon as Ji Qingling said it, Qiu Yue thought about the sour taste, and she couldn't help but have a liquid in her mouth, and said with a smile: "Madame, why did you suddenly remember this?" It hooked my gluttony again. ”

Ji Qingling also smiled: "You go and ask anyone among the people who came with me this time who will do it, and you will try it later." ”

She thought for a moment and said a few more words.

At this time, the sour jujube has been cooked, the thing is so sour that it cries, take a foot to step on, slimy, stained with snot-like mucus, only children like to play, although some people usually collect, but the price is cheap, it is not a thing, there is a birth not far from the post station, you can find it when you go out and go around.

Qiu Yue responded, retreated for a while, and sure enough, more than an hour passed, and then he walked in with a food box.

Gu Yanzhang was talking to Ji Qingling.

He held a handful of grain mixed with shriveled grain and moldy grain in his hand, put it into a small dustpan on the ground, and learned the farmer's method of jolting the dustpan, while getting up, he raised his head and said: "Qingling, you let it out, there is mold in this grain, people stand in it, be careful to suck it in." ”

Ji Qingling listened to his explanation, and obediently retreated out, but couldn't help frowning and asking, "Fifth brother, are you useful like this?" ”

Gu Yanzhang shook the dustpan in his hand, because he was not very skilled, he was in a hurry, and replied: "I don't know if it's useful, I used to go out to supervise the harvest of autumn grain, and I saw that those farmers shook out the dust, gravel, and shriveled grain like this." ”

The weight of grains, dust, and gravel is different, and as long as you use skill, things of different weights will separate with the shaking of the dustpan, and become a pile of grains, a pile of dust, and another pile of sand and gravel.

He started to shake his hands twice, but slowly found a way, and looked decent, and in a short time he shook the gravel, dust, and deflated grain to the other side of the dustpan, and the side against the man was full of grains.

Ji Qingling was two feet away, and when he stopped, he walked into the house again.

Gu Yanzhang had already put the dustpan on the ground, and began to separate the grains according to their quality, and each took the paper.

Ji Qingling saw that he was not so fast for a while, so he dragged two small pieces over, one was placed behind Gu Yanzhang, and the other sat by himself, lowered his head and studied it for a long time, and then asked: "Fifth brother, your method is to shake out the inappropriate grain, but there is so much rice in the regular closing position, if you shake it one by one, even if you smoke it, I'm afraid it won't be enough, right?" ”

Gu Yanzhang had already brought a small scale over to weigh it, and after hearing Ji Qingling's words, he sighed: "There's no way, write down what comes to mind first, and then discuss it with them when the time comes, and see which one can be used." ”

He weighed a few things, took the paper again, and wrote down the numbers one by one.

Several methods have been written on the paper, Ji Qingling leaned over to look, each has its own strengths, but also has its own shortcomings, after all, it is feasible to take too long, and the short time is not very accurate to use, she looked at it, and was a little helpless, and said: "Sure enough, it is not so easy to check the grain." ”

Gu Yanzhang said with a smile: "If it is that simple, it will not be a headache for everyone like now, there was a precedent to follow me in the past, let's just do it." ”
