Chapter 1986 Protecting Weaknesses
Gu Jinli was happy to see it: "Hahaha, this is really a blessing from the God of Wealth. We just got rich from the God of Wealth."
Xiaoping was surprised: "Gu, Second Aunt Gu, is it really so effective? Then I wasn't disrespectful to the God of Wealth just now, was I? Do I want to pay my respects again?"
Gu Jinli smiled and pinched his cheek: "Children, don't be so superstitious. I'm happy because someone sent me a clay mine. If I can get this clay mine, Uncle Mutong doesn't have to run. Looking for clay.”
Moreover, the soil quality of the Cao family's clay mine is very good. Brother Qin said that he sent You Ping to secretly dig some clay back. The texture of the clay was good enough to make porcelain.
Aunt Yu laughed and said, "Madam, you will confuse Xiao Pingxi like this."
One moment, he took Xiao Pingxi to pick up the God of Wealth, and the next moment, he told him not to be superstitious. He is still a little baby over five years old and will be confused by you.
After laughing this sentence, he asked again: "Madam, can you tell me what the old slave said in the letter about someone sending clay ore."
Aunt Tao also wanted to know and nodded.
Gu Jinli told the Cao family that they wanted to exchange things for cassava seeds.
Aunt Tao and Aunt Yu frowned when they heard this and asked Gu Jinli: "Madam, Uncle Cao's family got their title by relying on food. If cassava is planted to the Cao family, once the cassava is eaten as food by the world, what will happen to the world?" You will think that this great contribution belongs to the Cao family, and my wife will suffer a loss."
The two nuns were protective guards, and they hoped that Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinli would not give this great contribution to others.
"Brother Qin said this, please take a look." Gu Jinli took out one of the pieces of paper and handed it to the two mothers.
Grandma Tao took it and looked at it with Grandma Yu.
Qin Sanlang said that he asked Uncle Cao to go to General Jiang to talk about this matter. The deal was done by General Jiang. General Jiang was not the kind of person who took advantage of others and was extremely protective of his shortcomings. If cassava becomes a life-saving food in the future, the Cao family will not be able to take the credit. General Jiang will tell outsiders that it was Chang Liang Wei who discovered cassava, and it was Xiaoyu who found a way to remove toxins from cassava and proposed to eat cassava as food. of.
Moreover, they will sign a contract with the Cao family and write it in black and white: The Cao family will purchase cassava seeds, planting methods, and methods to remove cassava toxins from Chang Liang Wei.
The two nuns laughed: "My lord is a thoughtful person. With General Jiang and the contract as proof, I'm afraid the Cao family won't be able to monopolize this credit."
but……
"As long as the Cao family grows cassava aggressively and uses it to help the victims when there is a famine, they will still get credit."
Gu Jinli smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is the best win-win situation."
Seeing Xiao Pingxi wiping the rouge on his face with the back of his hand, trying to wipe it off, but it turned redder and redder, he smiled and greeted him: "Come here."
Xiaopingxi came over obediently.
Gu Jinli used warm water to wipe off the rouge and lipstick on his face, leaving a small red dot on his forehead: "It looks so good, like a little fairy boy."
Then he took off the red baby bellyband he wore outside, brought two cloth bags, put the offerings to the God of Wealth into the bags, tied them around his waist, and said, "Go and eat with your friends." Come on, you will all get rich after eating."
"Thank you Aunt Gu, I'm leaving!" Xiao Ping was so happy that he ran to find his friends to share the offerings.
"Madam, do you want to write a reply to your Excellency? Will I prepare some pen and paper?" Aunt Yu asked. The young Marquis will be very happy when he receives Madam's reply.
Gu Jinli nodded: "If you want to write something, go and prepare it."
"Hey." Aunt Yu happily entered the room to prepare pen and ink.
Gu Jinli said to Aunt Tao: "Mom, go and bring the smoked fish from the past two days, light the stove, smoke it again, and bring the smoked fish to Brother Qin to eat when You Ping and the others leave."
It's hard to find fish in the northwest, so he finally got a few. Gu Jinli marinated and smoked the fish, which was already baked, but grilling it again will make it more fragrant.
"Hey, old slave, go get ready now." Aunt Tao hurriedly started.
Aunt Yu had already prepared pen and ink. After Gu Jinli entered the room, she started to write a letter. She wrote eloquently for several pages. At the end, she deliberately added a few disgusting words. Thinking of Qin Sanlang's blushing face when he saw it, she laughed. The sound comes.
When Aunt Yu saw her having fun, she also laughed... Madam is a cheerful person, and she can still find fun no matter how miserable the environment is.
If Mrs. Hou could endure hardships like Mrs. Hou, she would not even die without being able to see Mr. Hou as she lives in the northwest.
"Mommy, I've finished writing. Let's go out and grill the fish."
The trouble with calligraphy letters is that you can't put them up immediately after you finish writing them, they have to be left to dry.
"Hey." Grandma Yu got up and followed Gu Jinli to the corridor to smoke fish together.
The smell of smoked fish is very fragrant. Aunt Yu is someone who has eaten delicacies. She is a little greedy when she smells the smell of grilled fish: "The smoked fish spices made by Madam are really good and fragrant, but the fragrance is not overpowering. certainly delicious."
Gu Jinli smiled and gave Nanny Yu a piece of smoked fish: "Eat it, Nanny."
Aunt Yu was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "Madam, you are treating this old slave like a child. This old slave is not greedy."
"It's okay, there are still quite a few. Let's take one piece each and have a taste." Gu Jinli took out two more pieces of smoked fish, leaving one piece for himself and the other piece for Grandma Tao: "Try it, is it delicious?"
Grandma Tao took a bite and said, "It's delicious. It's more flavorful and chewy than when it was just smoked two days ago."
Grandma Yu saw that Grandma Tao had eaten, so she ate the smoked fish. After tasting it, her eyes lit up: "It's delicious. It's perfect for making dry food."
Gu Jinli also ate the smoked fish on his hand, nodded and said, "Yeah, it's delicious!"
After eating, I was still unsatisfied. I stared at the iron mesh on the oven and wanted to pick another piece.
Aunt Yu smiled and said, "Madam, please eat a few more pieces. If you know that Madam is enjoying her meal, he will also be very happy."
Gu Jinli shook his head: "No, there are only a few fish. Give them to Brother Qin. When we get the fish later, we will make smoked fish and eat until we are full."
After saying that, he took a wooden box, put a piece of paper inside, put the smoked and grilled fish in piece by piece, and then put the box into a cloth bag.
She went into the back room again, collected the dried letters, put them in envelopes, and packed two new sets of clothes, new boots, and two bags of medicine for Qin Sanlang. Then she left the back room and said to Aunt Tao: : "Mommy, go and pack two big bags of dry food and two bags of roasted dried beans. The stuff is full of flavor and can last a long time. Send more to Brother Qin."
During the Chinese New Year, they not only made frozen tofu, but also made dried tofu. When they made smoked fish two days ago, they also smoked the dried tofu. It was dried and fragrant, and then sprinkled with some seasonings to enhance the taste. great.
Aunt Tao responded: "Hey, I'll go get ready now."
They worked hard for two hours before preparing the things for Qin Sanlang... Well, they just prepared a lot. This bag and that bag together were enough to load a carriage.
However, Yu Ping brought five people back, and each person had two bags hanging on their horses, so they could deliver all the things.
