Chapter 212 Gu Yumei receives the gift
Everyone agreed, and the third grandfather went home and told the matter to the third grandma.
"It happened that there was a lot of meat left on the day the workshop opened, and it was all hung in the old well. It's all cooked tonight. Let's have a meal. If you don't eat it, the meat will go bad." The third grandma followed. Lao Yan started busy making dinner.
Gu Jinli called Mrs. Cui, Gu Jinxiu, Mrs. Chu, Luo Huiniang, Aunt Tian, Tian Xiaohua, and Gu Yumei who were not working at the stall to his home and taught them how to prepare spices.
Gu Yumei has long wanted to know how to prepare spices. She was very happy when Gu Jinli called her to come home and teach her how to prepare spices. But she was arrogant and insisted on taking Qiao, saying in a weird voice: "Our family is not short of money now, why do we have to make our own spices, can't we just buy a few servants to come back to work?"
Gu Jinli chuckled, looked at her and said, "Are you going to learn? If you don't learn, get out. My courtyard door is not closed."
Gu Yumei choked and almost cried in anger. She just said it casually, and she didn't mean to learn from it.
Although she was very angry, Gu Yumei wanted to learn how to prepare spices, so she stayed shamelessly.
Gu Jinli took out eight kinds of spices and said to them: "We will ship out 2,400 kilograms of goods on April 26th. It's too much. I can't handle it by myself. I'll teach you the recipe and we'll make the spices together." .
She pointed to amomum villosum and cumin and said, "Mother Rob's house prepares these two spices. One pound of amomum villosum and two taels of shank. Stir them evenly and put them in a small cloth bag. "
Then he said: "Mother Luo, Mother Hui, you can go to the workshop now and ask Mo Chunyue to pick out amomum villosum and kaempferol for you to take home, and mix these two spices according to the amounts I told you. Remember, don't Put more and less, otherwise the taste will be wrong.
Luo Huiniang was shocked when she heard this: "Is it that simple?"
Gu Jinli nodded: "It's that simple. Go and work with your mother. Remember to come to my house for dinner tonight."
"Okay." Luo Huiniang and Mrs. Chu got up, left Gu Jinli's house, and went to the workshop first. After letting Mo Chunyue pick up the amomum villosum and hawthorn, she mixed the two spices according to the quantities Gu Jinli said.
Gu Jinli said to Gu Yumei: "Your family is responsible for preparing cloves and cinnamon. Two liang of cloves, plus half a liang of cinnamon, mix the two spices together, stir evenly, and then put the prepared spices one by one in a cloth bag. Just put it on."
Before she got home, she saw a girl wearing a long crimson brocade coat and skirt, holding a box in her hand, standing at the door of her house.
When Gu Yumei saw the girl, her eyes immediately focused on her skirt. The skirt was so beautiful. It must be brocade. She could still afford brocade. She looked like a young lady from a wealthy family.
Just, why would a young lady from a wealthy family come to her house?
Doesnt her family know any rich people?
Could it be someone sent by Lady Shang Xiucai?
Gu Yumei wanted to please Madam Shang Xiucai, and relied on her connections to find a good family to marry. Now she felt that this girl should be someone sent by Madam Shang Xiucai, and she immediately became enthusiastic: "Sister, who are you looking for? "
Gu Yumei put down her burden, smoothed her hair, straightened her clothes, held a cotton handkerchief, and said in a soft voice: "This is my home. What do you do for sister to come to my home?"
Is that what you said? I heard from my eldest brother that all the big families in the city talk like this.
Hua'er's face was smeared with thick rouge to cover the mark of Zou Yuwan's slap. Seeing Gu Yumei's pretense, she felt very disdainful, but she remembered Zou Yuwan's explanation and said to Gu Yumei: "You are the one A girl from this family. The thing is like this. My young lady came to stay at my grandfathers house for a few days. She brought some gifts from the county and distributed them to the girls in the village. This is for the girls. I hope you dont dislike it and give the gifts. Take it.
When Gu Yumei heard this, her eyes lit up. She looked at the painting again and asked, "Where is your lady from?"
This girl is actually a maid, and even a maid is dressed so well. How rich is this young lady?
Hua'er knew that the relationship between Gu's workshop and Zou and Lu's family was not good, so he did not identify himself clearly. He just said: "He is not a nobleman somewhere, he is just an ordinary family in the county. The master of the family is a small official in the county government."
Still an official lady!
Gu Yumei was so happy that she hurriedly slapped the courtyard door and shouted inside: "Brother Fa, come and open the door quickly. I'm going to kill you. Didn't you see the distinguished guest coming?"
Fa Ge'er, this idiot, knows how to stay at home and grind spices all day long. What to grind? We have already hired workers, why do we still need a small employer like him?
