Chapter 149: The Story of a Unique Skill, Brewing Soy Sauce

The probability of a demon "exploding" martial arts has always been a metaphysical question, and the actual number is only a few. Reading

Based on Gu Ke's observation, it can be determined that the nature of the martial arts revealed is related to the demon itself.

For example, the ghost face sunflower revealed the sunflower scripture, and the pig demon revealed the iron body.

Therefore, this Great Dream Mirage Dragon Scripture is likely to be a poison... skill? As soon as he made this judgment, he was immediately slapped in the face by the content.

From beginning to end, this Great Dream Mirage Dragon Scripture has nothing to do with poison.

As the name suggests, it is a strange method of practicing in dreams.

Based on Gu Ke's understanding of some of the content descriptions, it should involve the combination, complementarity and promotion of the mind and body.

It is very different from Lieyang and Sunflower, but it also has a grand system and continuous and complete practice steps.

Just practice step by step to avoid most dangers.

Unlike some people who have wild ideas, they create martial arts that are written wherever they think of, with incoherent words and many mistakes.

He immediately slapped his forehead: What are you thinking about? How can you look down on such a poor martial arts system.

Having said that, this Great Dream Mirage Dragon Sutra was finally put aside and not taken to Sister Bai for discussion.

She loves to feel sleepy now. If she practices this martial arts and never wakes up, what should she do?

Finally, there are countless skills and techniques traded from the people of Qujiang Prefecture.

The transaction book shows that the number of transactions is 37,521.

Each time represents 3-5 people from a household. The total number of people rescued this time is about 100,000-150,000, and a lot of stocks in the warehouse have been reduced.

When the red nai jam is used up, plum jam and peach jam will be used.

When the jam is used up, various fruit juices will be used.

The juice was used up, and the flour and straw sugar produced by the ordinary quality purple wheat nearby were boiled into a thin soup by the soldiers to continue to make up.

Anyway, the soup has two functions. One is to dilute and mix the medicine, and the other is to provide sugar, salt, water, and blood, supplement nutrition and keep life.

However, the valley does not produce salt, so Gu Ke simply asked the Lord of the Mansion to transport a batch of salt for use.

Just a little salt saved half of the people in the city, and Lord of the Mansion must not lose.

In fact, the population of Qujiang Prefecture before the plague was about 400,000 to 500,000.

More than half died and escaped, and the remaining more than 100,000 people could not run away, could not run away, and were unwilling to run away.

The crafts and skills they traded to Gu Ke were also varied.

Nearly half of them were all messy and useless things.

Such as throwing sandbags, kicking shuttlecocks, playing hide-and-seek, climbing trees, chopping wood, carrying water, washing clothes, sweeping the floor, etc.

Gu Ke was a bit complaining. Is your grandfather Tiangong the one who does these things?

...Well, he did a lot in his previous life, and his skills were far less sophisticated than these people.

Moreover, the transaction contract recognized it.

In other words, they are indeed the "specialties" of the people, and it is normal.

As for other strange "specialties" such as peeing a meter away and pooping without dirtying clothes and pants, Gu Ke simply glanced at them.

It can only be said that there have always been many people with little cleverness.

There may be many ignorant people among the people, but they are not really stupid.

In terms of "small wins big", or "taking advantage within the rules", they are not stupid, but very flexible.

Gu Ke was not angry, but found it interesting.

Everything has two sides, and so are specialties.

Various skills, whether ordinary or strange, may be the embodiment of a person's life and personality, or even privacy.

For example, the skill of peeing without getting shoes wet, I guess this person must have practiced it after peeing many times.

So, if you look at the technical points, you will know how he wet his shoes.

With a little imagination, how many "tragic" "tragedies" are hidden in these "skills", which can be processed into jokes and told to Sister Bai and the others.

If you only tell the two children, you can tell a lot of "interesting jokes".

If it were the previous life, if these "skills" were announced, how many people would feel socially dead on the spot, it's interesting to think about it.

Just thinking about this, Xiaoman came in humming a tune she learned from somewhere: "... After thirty, the flowers are easy to fade. Both hands beckon Langlangfu..."

Gu Ke raised his eyebrows, looked at Xiao Ping'er behind her, and asked with his eyes: Where did you learn this?

Xiao Ping'er blushed and shook her head repeatedly: Don't ask me, I don't know.

Gu Ke had no choice but to take out a bag of potato chips from the warehouse and throw it over: "Eat your snacks. If your sister Bai hears you, she will spank you again."

Xiao Man took the chips and poured half of the bag into her mouth, and stuffed the remaining half into Xiao Ping'er, mumbling: "Sister Bai is too lazy to listen to my singing."

Does it mean that I have time to listen? Gu Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Well, this statement is both reasonable and logical, and impeccable.

"Let's go. After breakfast, we will go to experiment. I got a few methods of brewing soy sauce last night. It's probably okay." He passed the topic and went to the study.

There are few people, only lunch is more formal, and it will be served at the foot of the mountain.

The location of the two meals is up to you (Gu Qian), and the two children can choose one.

Today, it is next to the pavilion not far from the study, soy milk and multi-grain porridge, with fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and large meat buns, and takeaway pickled cabbage and cold dishes.

It's simple and not rich, but it also takes into account everyone's preferences.

Sister Bai sticks to her usual light taste, so multi-grain porridge, steamed buns, and side dishes are enough.

Both parties had a little bit of everything, and even took two small cakes for themselves as snacks.

Gu Ke still insisted on his classic combination.

The golden fried dough sticks were puffy and soft, and were torn into several pieces and soaked in the hot, white and tender sweet soy milk.

Pick it up and take a bite, first the fried dough sticks are salty and fragrant, then the sweet soy milk is sucked in, and you can have the best of both worlds.

He slurped down a large bowl of soy milk and four fried dough sticks, and then took two large meat buns with sauerkraut.

The filling of the large meat buns is not raw meat, but pork sauerkraut.

The minced pork is divided into fat and lean. The fat is first put into the pan to fry the oil, then the lean meat is added, and ginger, pepper, star anise, grass fruit, bay leaves, beer, and salt are added. Simmer over low heat and stir constantly to avoid burning.

Sprinkle chopped green onions when it is cooked and out of the pan, and the pork sauerkraut is ready.

Compared with the buns with raw meat filling, it has another flavor.

Most raw meat fillings are in a ball, and can be wrapped in a separate soup, full of the freshness of meat and side dishes.

This stuffing is loose, and the oil and seasoning are fully soaked in each small piece of minced meat, and it keeps overflowing as you chew.

Gu Ke's version is still a disabled version. The stuffing he had eaten in his previous life should also have sprouts and sweet noodle sauce.

These two are also the soul ingredients of pork stuffing. If used well, the stuffing will be full of oil and slightly sweet in saltiness.

Add a plate of sour, crispy and refreshing pickled cabbage with red oil, and it will be perfect.

Other stuffings such as cabbage and radish with pork and mutton, kohlrabi with beef, and even celery, radish, dried tofu and lard? There are too many, and I haven't eaten them yet.

In terms of cooking, Gu Ke can only be considered "extensive" - ​​all of which he had eaten in his previous life or seen in food videos.

Speaking of actual operation... By the way, how to make sweet noodle sauce? He hasn't even figured out a more standard soy sauce process.

Since Chunxia left, the progress of various kitchen-related experiments has inevitably slowed down a lot.

The aging storage of Xiuxian warehouse has just been released, and he doesn't want to wait there every day for fermentation.

Making seasonings (products) is for enjoyment, and there are more than one kind of enjoyment.

Especially this year, peppers, chicken, duck, fish and meat are all available, so there are a lot of things to eat.

Xiaoman and Xiaoping'er have eggs and milk, so they can make bread, cakes and biscuits when they have nothing to do, and they can play with them for another ten or eight years.

Gu Ke is the same.

There is nothing to do in the mountains, and occasionally taking time to accumulate various seasonings (products) little by little is also a little fun in life.

It's not fun to make them in a hurry.

However, after today, the speed of seasonings will probably be much faster.

Qujiang Prefecture is not small, and there are people from all walks of life, and making seasonings is only a part of them.

Even if it is just an ordinary level, it is enough for Gu Ke.

What he lacks is the entry foundation and specific direction. The subsequent experiments will be accelerated by the warehouse, and the most is the taste and quality.

After finishing breakfast, Sister Bai came down the mountain together and made soy sauce.

This thing is not rare, but it takes a long time.

Before the aging storage in the warehouse, it was not difficult to make soy sauce with stable quality by yourself, but the waiting time was too long.

Gu Ke even said that soy sauce is only the first step, and then it will be divided into raw soy sauce, dark soy sauce, or soy sauce, X-fresh and so on.

She and the two children were confused and curious.

With her family background, she may have eaten all these "soy sauces", but she has never seen them become the appearance before the dishes.

The two children had no chance to see it - beans and salt are so precious that poor people can't even keep them for daily consumption, so where can they get extra for seasoning.

Take out the beans that have been washed and soaked before, steam them for about an hour, and let them cool down naturally.

During this period of free time, Bai Suqing checked the martial arts of the two children.

Xiao Ping'er has a quiet personality and is "recommended" by Sunflower Sutra. If she has any doubts, she will take the initiative to ask Bai Suqing, so she doesn't need to worry about it.

Although Xiaoman practices martial arts diligently, she tends to be a bit of a poor student. She doesn't seek to understand the process very well, and she just practices roughly.

Bai Suqing's main target of "guarding" is also her, so as to make sure there are no mistakes.

Forget about Gu Ke.

Although a strong mind will not directly increase comprehension, it has a super memory, faster thinking speed, and can also detect the subtle conditions inside and outside Xiaoman's body.

Analyze and sort out the problems of her martial arts practice, don't be too relaxed.

But Xiaoman's cheating methods are also changing with each passing day, step by step, and he really can't stand it.

Simply tell Bai Suqing the results of the analysis in private and let her discipline this little girl.

Xiaoman knows her personality, and cheating will not work. If not done well, she will be beaten.

Even though she was a martial arts master, the meat of the posterior part of the pig was still full, and she had a special rigid body, but she couldn't withstand the soft Bi Hai Jin and the tough purple bamboo strips. She would be in pain for at least a cup of tea after being beaten.

The key is that after being beaten, you must practice what you should do, otherwise it would be in vain.

Therefore, Bai Suqing coached Wu She to be absolutely honest.

When the beans are cooled to slightly higher than the human body temperature, mix a small amount of fried flour, and then add the koji.

In the outside world, it is not difficult for people with some strength or family background to obtain koji.

Gu Ke has also been "well-off" in the past two years. When he was setting up a stall, he occasionally used Tianfu Tongbao to obtain additional trading rights in exchange for some common koji.

At this moment, the koji was added and spread flat on the warehouse shelf, about two inches thick, covered with moist linen, and sprinkled with water regularly to maintain appropriate humidity.

Wait for half an hour, and when the beans have lumps and white hair grows, you can take them out and put them on the stone platform outside the warehouse for natural ventilation and drying for a few hours to make the beans shrunken.

Today's process has been completed, and the follow-up will be discussed tomorrow.

When Xiaoman heard Gu Ke say that the work was over, he was immediately pardoned, and shouted "I'm going to take care of the livestock farm" and hurried away.

Xiaoping'er was not in a hurry. She greeted Gu Bai and said that she would make lunch later, and then followed him.

The livestock farm also has a division of labor.

Xiaoman is responsible for taking care of livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep, while Xiaoping'er takes care of chickens, ducks and geese.

Fish, shrimps and crabs are taken care of by two people, and dogs, birds, bees and other things are not expected to be eaten, so they can be raised as they please.

After watching the two children go away, Bai Suqing looked at Gu Ke and suddenly said, "Xiaoman is already thirty years old this year."

Gu Ke: "...Not really, not really. Besides, everyone's body has not aged in the ten years of sleep, so she is only twenty years old."

Bai Suqing: "I am thirty years old, and I can be a grandmother outside."

Sister Bai, do you want to be a great grandmother? This thought flashed through Gu Ke's mind quickly, and he immediately threw it away.

Sister Bai's observation ability is very sharp, and she began to get used to his brain circuits.

Just by his subtle expression, you can guess most of it, and you must control your expression.

With a light cough, he said righteously: "That is an ordinary woman, who has practiced martial arts well. Thirty years old is the time for bravery and advancement. It's still a long time."

Bai Suqing looked at him quietly for a moment, pursed her lips and chuckled: "It's not that early."

At this point, she waved her sleeves lightly, turned around and flew towards the peak.

Landing in the pavilion beside the purple bamboo forest, sitting on the bamboo couch, staring at the blue sky and white clouds, his eyes were leisurely, but he murmured softly: "Twenty is gone, twenty-one is here, if you don't do favors, you are stupid. After thirty, the flowers will fade easily, and you will not come even if you beckon with your hands."

Gu Ke, who was packing up at the foot of the mountain, paused, and had the urge to sweat on his forehead: I know that you are such a sister Bai.

…

On the second day, put the dried beans and hot water with salt into a large vat, stir evenly, and put it in the open air of warehouse No. 2 to expose to the sun.

At this time, someone needs to be there, stirring every two quarters of an hour, and soaking it with dew at night.

On the third day, stir once every half an hour.

On the fourth day, add hot salt water for the second time and stir well.

From now on, stir only twice a day for ten days.

After half a month, stop stirring and let it ferment naturally for two days.

When the divine mind confirms that the fermentation is good and the sauce is sufficient, it is pressed into a mold covered with linen.

The soy sauce flows out from the small hole at the bottom of the mold and falls into the soy sauce tank.

This process is similar to pressing tofu pudding into tofu, but the difference is that the tofu in the mold needs to be pressed with very little force.

To squeeze out the oil, you have to press hard to squeeze out every drop of soy sauce as much as possible.

Finally, the squeezed soy sauce is heated to about 85 degrees and allowed to cool naturally, and the production process is completed.
