Chapter 487: Meeting Between Old Workshops

This is a very elegant old courtyard with three entrances. Its style is similar to that of a courtyard, but it is larger than an ordinary courtyard. As for why there is such a unique courtyard located in the city center, this must be explained from the Jianggan Workshop. get up. read

The development of Jiangdian workshops in the entire Jinyuan area has been forty or fifty years. Counting from the Xianfeng period, Jiangdian can be regarded as a century-old brand. You must know that the century-old Jiangdian brand is not at all It's false. During the Xianfeng period, even the emperor was full of praise for Jianggan, let alone the traders and lackeys who didn't have much status in ordinary times.

It is precisely for this reason that when dried soy sauce was later sold to the public, many people were rushing to be the first. Among other things, ordinary people could not eat this thing, because it used to be eaten by the emperor. Such a potential concept led to Jianggan's later glory.

Dried soybean paste originated in Jiangping, Hunan and Hubei, and later gradually spread to all parts of the country. This kind of soy food is very popular, but its short shelf life has undoubtedly become a shortcoming, which makes it impossible to mass-produce dried soybean paste every day. The dried sauces are produced in limited quantities. There was even a period of time when the three dried sauce workshops in Jinyuan City produced them separately. For example, on Mondays and Tuesdays, only one workshop produced them. If you want to buy dried sauces on Mondays and Tuesdays, just You can only go to their workshop, which means you have to go to another workshop on Wednesday and Thursday. If you want to eat dried sauce, this is a difficult problem.

It expresses a meaning. If you want to eat dried sauce, you have to look at the mood of these craftsmen in the old workshop.

Although consumers have complaints, what can they do? The entire snack market in Jinyuan City is here, and the sales volume and taste are not as good as Jianggan.

At present, the development trend of spicy strips is becoming more and more amazing, and it vaguely reveals the meaning of one family being the only one. This is a very dangerous signal in the eyes of the old workshops that make dried sauce, so among them A well-known old craftsman took the lead in holding such a meeting and summoned all the dried soy sauce masters in Jinyuan City in his own dried soy sauce workshop.

The small courtyard is quite large. There is even a pond of lotus and two water tanks on the other side. It is said that this water tank used to be in a temple. It was placed at the door of the abbot. It has some unique effects. It can be seen that these two water tanks can be used together. Once the vat is obtained, the identity of the owner of the yard is not that simple.

There are a few rattan chairs and a few small bamboo tables placed in the courtyard, which looks very elegant.

At this moment, the wicker chairs are full of people. There are more than ten people in total, many of whom are standing. The most relaxed people sitting on the wicker chairs, whose status is not low at first glance, are three Old people, to be precise, it seems that these three old people are brothers to each other. The old man in the lead is wearing a mandarin jacket, has a pipe in his mouth, and is puffing away.

Sitting on the other side was a smiling old man with his hands folded in his sleeves, as if he was easy to talk to. The other old man was silent and held a pair of unicorn-patterned lion heads in his hands. It's an old thing, and it's also a very valuable thing.

Behind them, a group of people were sitting or standing, ranging in age from forty to more than ten years old. Although they were also talking about something, their voices were not loud.

"Everyone has seen the current situation. This cheap item called spicy strips can threaten our status as soybean paste. Do we have to reveal the secret recipes that each family has hidden away and refuse to reveal? "

"If we keep waiting like this, I'm afraid our brothers' workshops will close down..."

The one who spoke in advance was an old man holding a cigarette in his hand. The old man looked calm and calm, but he hated the emerging product of spicy strips. Sitting next to the old man The apprentice knew that the old man had pointed his fingers at the sky and scolded the spicy food as being evil.

Sitting on the other side of the old man, his peers in mandarin jackets said with a smile:

"Brother, have you ever tasted spicy strips? Let me tell you, this tastes so much like our dried sauce. The taste is almost the same, and the price is cheaper than ours. Do you think it could be from before? Wang Shusheng and others are trying to make us sick?"

No matter whether it is cold or hot, the smiling old man who always likes to put his hands inside his sleeves now said:

"It doesn't look like it to me. Even if it's our secret recipe, it's probably a leak of the secret recipe. It shouldn't have anything to do with Shusheng Wang. That old man won't bother us in this regard. The spicy strips taste so similar to ours. It doesn't make sense. What kind of coincidence is it? It seems that someone must have tampered with the secret recipe, but to say so is a bit too decisive..."

These three people are all old craftsmen from Jiangping. They can be said to be the few remaining old masters. Moreover, the masters of the three of them are the apprentices of the founder of Jiangping Jianggan, absolute direct disciples, so the pride in their bones, It's on the surface.

The history of making dried soy sauce has been nearly a hundred years, and there are countless schools of thought. Some are good at salty, some are good at sweet, and some are good at spicy. The controversy during this period is not small, but After all, we are a family, and we solve the problem behind closed doors, fighting over whose dried sauce is more popular, and it is basically solved.

However, the emergence of La Tiao made these three old men feel uneasy.

The man holding the pipe has not been mentioned for a long time, but he has a nickname that is well-known even outside Sanlipuzi in Jiangping, called the Old Smoker.

As the direct disciple of the founder of the dried bean curd, he can be said to have mastered the true craftsmanship of dried bean curd, and has a unique status in the whole Jiangping. The one sitting next to him is his junior brother, nicknamed the Yellow Jacket, because his ancestors passed down a jacket bestowed by the emperor, hence the name.

The last smiling old man is called the rich man, as if his ancestors were all rich and powerful for three generations, and this courtyard belongs to this old man. It is said that there are several courtyards in Gyeonggi, all left by their ancestors.

It is not common for these three to get together. One of them stayed in Jinyuan City, that is, the rich man in front of him. The other two, the Old Smoker and the Yellow Jacket, came from Jiangping’s hometown. The time was very urgent, but they finally made it.

As soon as the news of spicy strips taking over the market spread from the rich man, the two of them immediately traveled thousands of miles to Jinyuan City.

What they are discussing now is how to deal with the spicy strips.
