Chapter 296 The Problem of Sickness
Gu Jinli received the post and said to Jiang Puzi: "Uncle Puzi, don't worry, we will definitely go tomorrow."
The Jiang family invited her, Gu Dashan, the third grandfather and the third grandmother to go together.
After hearing this, Jiang Puzi smiled and said, "That's done, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
He added: "It's not far away. It's in Hukou Town. You can get there in an hour by mule cart."
The soybean oil workshop was not opened in Qingfu Town, nor in the county town, but in Hukou Town.
Hukou Town is close to Qingfu Town and the county seat. Mrs. Jiang has a village in Hukou Town. All the villagers are servants of the Jiang family. She opened her soybean oil workshop directly in the village, which is safe and convenient.
After Jiang Puzi finished speaking, he flicked his whip and drove away in the mule cart.
That night, Gu Jinan came back and told Shang Xiucai that he would take him to the soybean oil workshop tomorrow.
"The teacher said that if you want to be an official, you should not study hard and learn new things. You should go out and see new things. This soybean oil is a new thing that benefits the country and the people. There is also the wooden oil press. It is said that Uncle Aji made it very well. OK, let me open your eyes."
When Gu Jinli heard this, he became interested. Judging from the enigmatic look on Ah Ji's face, she wonders if the wooden oil press he made is different from what she imagined?
Early the next morning, Jiang Puzi drove a mule cart to pick them up. Then, after meeting Ah Jiu and the others at the entrance of Shangjia Village, the two mule carts rushed towards Hukou Town.
An hour later, they arrived at a village outside Hukou Town.
Zhuangzi is quite large, like a small village. The entire Zhuangzi is surrounded by a blue brick wall. There is only one gate for entry and exit. The gate of Zhuangzi is guarded by two guards. You need to check it when entering, just like a small fort.
Jiang and Yuan Yuan also came. Seeing that Gu Jinli and the others were surprised, he explained with a smile: "This place was the fort of a noble family in the previous dynasty. After the founding of Chu, that noble family fell. This The Wubao also changed owners several times, and by the time my mother bought it, the previous Wubao had collapsed, and only this circle of blue brick walls remained."
In the previous dynasty, aristocratic families could raise private soldiers, and Wubao was a place where soldiers could be raised to avoid military disasters.
Sister Xiaoyu, give me a hug~ Yuan Yuan liked Gu Jinli very much. After seeing her, he reached out for her to hug 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, then said, "It has to be delicious."
Gu Jinli:
Yes, this is a snack.
Third Grandma smiled and said: "Yuanyuan, Grandma Gu has brought you something delicious, braised vegetables and roast duck."
The Gu Daya family was grateful for the Jiang family's help. After learning that they were coming to the soybean oil workshop, they brought all the braised meat and roast duck they had made today. There were three baskets of braised meat and ten roast ducks.
Is it delicious? Yuan Yuans eyes widened, and he reached out towards the third grandma: A hug~ It must be delicious.
Ms. Jiang's face turned red and she cursed Yuanyuan softly: "Are you hungry at home? Why are you so greedy?"
Shang Xiucai opened the mule cart, twisted off a roast duck leg and gave it to Yuan Yuan: "Eat it, little greedy cat."
Wow~ Its a red duck leg. Yuan Yuan had eaten roast duck several times during this period, and he liked the red duck very much. He took the duck leg and started to eat it.
Jiang Jiao had already led people to welcome him out. He saw Yuanyuan eating roast duck legs and laughed at her: "You only have a few millet teeth, can you bite it? My second uncle should eat it for you."
Second uncle, you are a glutton. Yuan Yuan was afraid that his uncle would come and rob him, so he hurriedly turned his head away from Jiang Jiao. Jiang Jiao laughed and stopped teasing her. He looked at Gu Jinli and said, "Little Yu 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 very large, with five rows of houses about five meters apart. Each house has three rooms, and each room is very large.
Bang, bang, bang!
In the room, the workers were hitting the wooden pole with a big hammer. The wooden pole was under heavy pressure, hitting the cake embryo in the press chamber, and frying the oil.
Hurrah~
Soybean oil fell 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 press chamber was under greater pressure, and oil could be produced quickly once it was hit.
"How is it? 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 Ah Ji After Ji modified it twice, it only takes two people to pull the hammer to squeeze out the soybean oil. The oil yield is still very high, twenty kilograms of soybeans can produce four and a half kilograms of oil, which is three taels more than what you can do."
Jiang Jiao asked the workers to bring a few jars of soybean oil and said, "This is Aji's improved soybean oil. You can smell it."
Gu Jinli smelled the three jars of soybean oil and frowned again: "These soybeans have been fried with peppercorns and sesame seeds, and this jar of soybean oil has been fried with lard."
Haha, little fish girl, you really have a good nose. Its true. The soybean oil fried with peppercorns and sesame seeds will be more fragrant. Ah Ji also thought of the method, so its not bad.
Gu Jinli paused and said, "Uncle Aji is very smart."
"You're not stupid either." Ah Ji, wearing a sky-blue gown, strode into the room and asked Gu Jinli, "How is it? Is there anything that needs to be improved in the soybean oil workshop?"
Gu Jinli said: "There are many Taoist temples in Da Chu, and there are also many wealthy old ladies who are vegetarians. The soybean oil workshop must keep pure soybean oil without adding anything, so that it can be sold to vegetarians and vegetarians."
He added: "My two uncles want to expand the soybean oil business as soon as possible. It is best to send some soybean oil to the Taoist temple. In this way, the people who go to the Taoist temple will know about the soybean oil and will be more willing to buy it."
"Haha, we were worried about how to get the people of Da Chu to accept soybean oil, and you gave us the idea. It was really smart." Jiang Jiao clapped his hands in praise and said to A Ji: "A Ji, let us take the little fish girl Its right to invite us to the workshop, and look, this girl has been a big help to us since she arrived.
A Ji's face looked a little bad.
He asked Jiang Jiao to invite Gu Jinli to the workshop because he wanted her to see the results of the workshop so that she could know that she was not the only smart person in the world. He, Ning Ji, could also make new things. But he didn't expect that he would be beaten by her again. Won one round.
Ah Ji quickly raised a smile and complimented Gu Jinli.
It's a pity that Gu Jinli had already seen his expression before.
She was very confused, why did Ah Ji ask Uncle Jiang to invite her to the workshop?
She didn't wonder for long. After lunch and carrying Yuanyuan to the village to play, Ah Ji came.
He didn't hide it and asked her a question directly: "Did you know that everyone in the world has a sense of family status? Especially aristocratic families, they pay the most attention to being well-matched. If someone breaks through the sense of family status and marries someone they shouldn't marry, , the consequences will be serious.
Gu Jinli was confused when he heard this and asked: "Uncle Aji, are you not sick?"
Must be very ill, otherwise why would you ask her such a sick question.
He told her that she was a good match and how old she was.
Moreover, is it his turn to speak?
He is not her father!
