Chapter 320 Too Much Enthusiasm

As Yuan Laorong spoke, he came over to look at his son's face, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, you look quite upright, no wonder people like you."

When Chang Errui heard this, his tanned face turned red, his voice dropped a few degrees, and he said, "Dad, just talk nonsense. That noble aunt doesn't have a daughter."

Yuan Laorong said: "No, but there is a niece, who is Gu Dafu's daughter. The girl has lost her mother, so Chen, as a biological aunt, naturally has to help her niece find a family."

Chang Errui's face turned redder: "What does dad mean?"

Judging from his father's cheerful smile, he must be quite satisfied with the wealthy uncle's family.

Yuan Laorong said: "Gu Dafu's family is one of the owners of Gu's workshop. He can get dividends from the workshop every month. Moreover, he is a good person, a kind and considerate person. He has a son who is studying in the future. If you can pass the exam, it will be a help to you."

"You have reached the age of getting married, and your mother has already let the matchmaker spread the news that she wants to find you a wife. Since the daughter of the rich brother's family is also looking for a wife and thinks you are good, it doesn't hurt to give it a try."

"As for whether it can be done, we have to see how the girl is." Although Yuan Laorong is satisfied with Gu Dafu's family, he knows well that marrying a wife is unvirtuous and brings disaster to three generations. If Gu Dafu's daughter is not good, he will not agree. This marriage.

After hearing this, Chang Errui breathed a sigh of relief: "Son, listen to your father."

He also began to wonder in his heart, what kind of girl was the daughter of the rich uncle's family?

Is it easy to get along with?

Can you work?

Fierce or not?

…

After Chen returned home happily, she praised Chang Errui to the sky. Gu Yumei had a stern face and refused to accept Chen's words.

Mrs. Chen was angry: "Who are you showing your bad face to? Brother Rui is such a good young man, very capable and sensible. Look at you again, what can you do? You can even mix the wrong spices, how dare you I despise him for not being a scholar and not worthy of you, and I still think you are not worthy of him!"

"Because of your affairs, my family has lost two hundred taels of silver. If you have a conscience, stop causing trouble to your family and stay there honestly. After I find you a bride, you can happily get married. , If you dare to be picky again, I will beat you to death, do you believe it?"

Gu Dagui listened to Chen's talk getting more and more excessive, and scolded: "That's enough, what are you talking about? This is your niece, do you really want to beat her to death?"

Besides, the girl is grown up and wants to save face, so how can she be scolded like this?

"Hmph!" Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at Gu Dagui and took Fa Ge'er to prepare the spices.

Gu Dagui was afraid that Gu Dafu would be uncomfortable, so he apologized to him: "Brother, don't take it to heart. Even though Mrs. Chen has a bad mouth, she still feels sorry for Brother Xing and Sister Mei in her heart."

Gu Dafu said: "Brother knows. Don't always scold your younger siblings. Living with you is better than anything else."

Unlike his wife, who died on the road, she now has a memorial tablet with her, even if she wants to see it.

However, Gu Dafu still said to Gu Yumei: "Sister Mei, don't worry, dad will ask your second aunt to show you several families, not necessarily the Yuan family."

When Gu Yumei heard this, she finally felt relieved. She lowered her head again and said with a blushing face: "Then, let's take a look at the houses in the town. There are many scholars in the town."

Gu Dafu sighed after hearing this. Sister Mei still wanted to marry a scholar. But he felt sorry for his daughter after all, and couldn't bear the unsatisfactory marriage for her, so he agreed: "Okay, daddy asked your second aunt to visit the houses in the town, and we can choose the one to marry."

"Hey." Gu Yumei was happy and took the initiative to prepare spices with Chen.

…

Gu Jinli didn't pay much attention to Gu Yumei's marriage. She was busy making dried tofu and fried tofu.

It's May now, and the weather is getting hotter. Tofu has a lot of water and will go rancid easily. Tofu must be made into dried tofu or oiled tofu to ensure the taste of soy products.

"Little boss, these slightly yellowish things are dried tofu. They look really good." Mo Chunyue asked in surprise while slowly lighting the fire and roasting the dried tofu on the earthen stove.

Gu Jinli nodded: "Well, press the tofu into porcelain, cut it into small pieces, bake it on the earthen kang, and bake it for half an hour to make dried tofu."

When baking, she put a few handfuls of spices in the earthen stove, letting the aroma of the spices roast the dried tofu. When the dried tofu is made, there will be a fragrance that makes people's index fingers tickle. .

It's just that the workshop is too small and there is no special kitchen for baking dried beans. The earthen stove for baking dried beans was temporarily built by Gu Dashan and Gu Dalin in the backyard of the workshop. It is a grass stove built with four pillars and a thatched roof. shed.

However, she has already agreed with Foreman Yuan that after they finish building the shop, they will come to the village to build a workshop. In the future, the workshops for making tofu and spices will be separated, so everyone no longer has to crowd together.

As for the new house at home, she has already agreed with Gu Dashan and Mr. Cui that she plans to build a blue brick house, so it needs to be carefully designed and designed. It will take some time and will not be built until the shop and new workshop are completed. Her family's house.

Gu Jinli looked at Zhu Camellia, his daughter and Wang Ma on the side: "Have you three learned it?"

From now on, the job of baking dried beans will be left to the three of them.

Zhu Camellia and the other two hurriedly responded: "Little boss, we have learned."

"Then let's get to work." Gu Jinli turned around and went to another hut. He looked at the fried tofu fried by Xu Wang and said, "It's good, just fry it like this."

The fried tofu made in the workshop is square, as big as a palm. It is golden when fried. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is very delicious.

When Xu Wang heard Gu Jinli's words, she finally let go of her anxiety and said with a smile, "As long as the little boss is satisfied."

She was afraid that if she didn't fry the tofu properly, her boss would be angry and sell her mother and son.

After all, frying tofu consumes oil.

After Gu Jinli walked around the workshop, he called Mo Chunyue, and the two of them returned home carrying two loads of white tofu.

She took the white tofu to make spiced fermented bean curd.

Spiced fermented bean curd not only goes well with porridge and rice, but is also an excellent seasoning. Thinking of famous dishes such as fermented fermented pork belly, fermented fermented pig trotters, and fermented fermented duck, her mouth watered.

The five-spice fermented bean curd can be stored and sold to further places. It is a long-term business.

Five-spice fermented bean curd is not difficult to make. Boil the tofu, control the moisture, put it on straw, wait for the tofu to grow mucor mold, add seasonings and marinade, and marinate for a month to get the five-spice fermented bean curd.

Mucor is a magical fungus that exists in moist air. They will attach to tofu and cause the tofu to grow white mycelium.

There is natural white mold on the straw, so you have to put the cooked tofu on the straw to make the tofu grow mycelium faster.

She moved very quickly, and with the help of Gu Jinxiu and Cui, in less than half an hour, she had processed two loads of white tofu, placed them piece by piece on a large sieve covered with straw, and covered them with burlap.
