Through the otherworldly peerless

Chapter 147 Making Soy Sauce

"My lord, my lord, there are really not so many beans in this granary, my lord."

Wushuang pushed Xi to go out, and urged Xi to bring him the beans again. With a mournful face, Xi explained to Wushuang again and again, and almost knelt down and kowtowed to Wushuang.

But Wushuang said: "Nearly half of the beans you sent are moldy, and now you tell me that there are no beans for you? Okay, then I won't embarrass you, a slave, and I will go to the granary with you to have a look. No, I will personally apologize to Xiangkang!"

Xi said: "It's really gone, it's really gone, but if there are any, the servant will not fool the adults with that moldy bean!"

Wushuang narrowed his eyes: "So, you really know that there is something wrong with that bean, and you deliberately use it to fool me?"

Only then did Xi realize that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly covered his mouth, but it was too late.

Wushuang sneered: "Very well, how dare you fool me like this! I will confront Xiangkang now! If the situation is true, I will immediately write to His Majesty to explain the matter!"

Xi hugged Wushuang's leg: "My lord, please calm down, it's all the servant's fault. The beans were accidentally soaked in water a few days ago, and the servant has... ordered someone to dry the beans in time, but I didn't expect that those beans Unexpectedly... actually got moldy, Mr. Xiangkang didn't know about it, it was all the slave's idea, it was all the slave's fault, my lord, just because the slave has been serving you wholeheartedly during these days, let the slave be spared This time, please, my lord!"

Wushuang looked down at Xi: "You slave, you are so courageous! How dare you even lie to Mr. Xiangkang!"

Xi cried with snot and tears: "Slave, I really didn't expect that the beans would get moldy. My lord, please forgive me this time, and I won't dare to do it again next time."

In fact, Xi didn't expect the beans to be moldy, he didn't expect these beans to be taken by Wushuang.

Beans were originally eaten by slaves and servants. Xi, as Xiangkang's personal servant, has always been responsible for the purchase of grain, and corn is for Xiangkang to eat. Of course, Xi dare not touch it Thoughts, but the beans are different. Anyway, those moldy beans are taken to the prison pen and cooked for the slaves to eat. Xiangkang doesn't care whether the slaves eat moldy beans or rotten beans every day. Xi took some rebates on this, and enriched his wallet for so many years without any problems, but now Wushuang got caught.

And Wushuang will find out that it was also an accident. When Xiangkang agreed yesterday, although he was a little reluctant, when he heard that he was going to the granary, he immediately agreed, which shows that Xiangkang didn't know that there was a problem with the beans.

Today, Xi came to deliver the beans. Since he entered the workshop, his eyes have been turning all the time. He doesn't care about the situation in the workshop at all. He just wants to put down the beans and leave as soon as possible after completing the task.

Wushuang immediately guessed that there might be something wrong with Douzi, but he never thought that there would be a surprise, this Xi is really courageous!

Wushuang coughed lightly: "Well, as long as you can supply me with broken beans within five days, this matter will be over, and I won't go to Xiangkang anymore."

"Five, five days?" Xi swallowed, "My lord, this time is a bit too tight, how could this slave have the ability..."

Wushuang didn't wait for him to finish, and interrupted: "Of course, if you can help me get more beans, I can also pay you silver taels. I will pay whatever price Xiangkang pays. Besides, you will give If I buy beans, I will give you an extra tenth of the commission, of course, the prerequisite is that the beans must be good beans, I don’t want moldy beans after soaking in water.”

Xi swallowed his saliva: "Ten...one tenth?" With such a high rebate, why would he need to buy moldy beans to earn a rebate!

Xi has been with Xiangkang for so many years, and has seen Xiangkang's stingy side as he gets richer. Now that Wushuang is so generous when he makes a move, Xi has no reason to refuse, so he nodded and said: "Don't worry, my lord. Just give it to the servant! The servant promises that the beans you want will be delivered within five days!"

Wushuang coughed lightly: "That's lucky for you."

Xi smiled like a flower: "It's not hard work, it's not suffering at all. My lord, time is running out. This servant will go back and make arrangements for your lord."

Wushuang nodded: "Go."

Xi Huan happily left, and Feng Bo, who had been standing by the side acting as an invisible person, immediately stepped forward and said to Wu Shuang: "My lord, is one tenth too much?"

Wushuang waved his hand: "Not much, not much."

Uncle Feng looked at Wushuang: "...It seems that your lord is very rich."

Wushuang blinked: "To tell you the truth, I'm actually... quite poor."

Feng Bo stared: "...Huh?"

Wushuang rubbed the back of his head: "I was robbed on the way to Baicheng, and all the money I took out was lost. I got this from the lord of Qiucheng. It's okay to pay some craftsmen's wages, but the rest is fine." ..."

"..." Feng Bo swears, this is the poorest nobleman he has ever seen. "Then how do you buy beans?"

Wushuang smiled: "I have bean dregs cakes, I can exchange them with bean dregs cakes!"

Feng Bo: "But how do you know they will definitely agree?"

Wushuang thought to himself: "Why don't they want such a delicious thing?"

Uncle Feng said with an indescribable expression: "My lord, are you... serious?"

Wu Shuang chuckled happily: "Uncle Feng, don't you have such an expression, in fact, I wish they could come to me to collect debts."

Uncle Feng was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly said: "My lord, do you mean to—"

Wushuang smiled and said: "In this case, my stone mill will not be sold out!"

Uncle Feng finally understood that Wushuang wanted to be an empty-handed white wolf. He asked for the beans but didn't give them any money. Naturally, they would come to Wushuang to collect debts. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone to pay off Douzi's debt!

Uncle Feng sighed: "Your Excellency's method is indeed good, but if Xiangkang finds out about this matter, I'm afraid..."

Wushuang said: "It depends on Xi's ability, at least until I achieve my goal, he will find a way to hide Xiangkang, Feng Bo, Xi has been with Xiangkang for so many years, according to Xiangkang's suspicious temperament, It's impossible for Xi not to pave the way for himself, don't underestimate this servant, he may be very capable, besides, I have a hunch that Xiangkang...may be in big trouble soon."

Uncle Feng looked at Yuanyuan in Wushuang's eyes. Before that, he was worried that Wushuang was too kind and pure, and that he would not be able to defeat the scheming Xiangkang. Now, seeing Wushuang's step-by-step calculations, Uncle Feng's confidence suddenly doubled.

He thought, the unrestrained words that Wushuang told him before might not be because he was young and frivolous, but because he could really do it!

"My lord," Lei Jia walked over and said to Wushuang, "The ladies would like to ask you, what do you plan to do with those moldy beans?"

Wushuang turned around: "Deal with it?"

Lei Jia pursed his lower lip, and said in a low voice: "Actually, what they mean is, if you don't want those beans anymore, can you... let them take them back, at least it's food. For them, it's enough to fill their stomachs."

Wushuang said: "Don't take the moldy beans, and bring some bean dregs cakes back later."

Lei Jia thought for a while: "My lord, it's a pity to throw away those beans. It's better to give them... It can be regarded as doing good deeds for you, my lord."

Wushuang blinked: "Who said I'm going to throw away those beans?"

Lei Jia was taken aback: "You mean... those beans can still be used?"

Wushuang said: "It is useful, but it is definitely not good for making tofu, and those beans are not moldy, to be precise, they should be fermented beans."

Lei Jia: "Fermentation?"

"Yeah," Wushuang walked up to those beans, grabbed a handful and took a closer look, "It's fermented, I guess the beans were soaked in water before, and Xi was afraid that the beans would be soaked, so I thought I'd boil them dry." I can continue to eat, but the granary is dark and humid, and the beans sealed in the sacks are directly fermented, but these beans are just right for making bean paste and soy sauce!"

Wushuang turned back to the women and said, "I won't give you these beans. If you take them home and eat them, it will be bad for your health. Besides, I have to use them to make soy sauce and bean paste, but I will make bean dregs cakes left over from tofu later. You can eat them." Take the full points, even if it is your wages for these few days, how about it?"

When the women heard that they didn't have to eat moldy beans, they actually had bean dregs cakes?How could they disagree, and thanked Wushuang gratefully one by one. If it wasn't for Wushuang's rule that they were not allowed to kneel at will, they would definitely kneel to Wushuang now.

After that, Wushuang taught them how to make bean paste, tofu, and soy sauce. The craftsmen made a few big-bellied and narrow-mouthed jars overnight, which were used as containers for making soy sauce. Wushuang even let Ding Wei's two sisters work in the workshop After staying in Li, let them be in charge of the next month, open the jar and stir once a day, after one month, stir once every three days, and then once a month after that, after four months, you will see the result whether the soy sauce is made successfully or not up!

In addition, people are arranged to watch the bean paste. When the sun is good, the stones pressed on it must be lifted to let the sun dry the beans inside. It has to be covered, and no dew can enter, so that the soy sauce made with all the care will be fragrant and delicious!

On the day when the beans were received, the first pot of tofu in the workshop was also cooked!

Looking at the white and tender tofu in front of them, everyone was shocked. I believe that if they hadn't made it by themselves, they probably wouldn't believe it. How could the tofu be made like this?

At noon that day, Wushuang asked B to cook a large pot of sunflower tofu. Everyone ate bean dregs cakes, and their stomachs bulged into balls. Even Uncle Feng sighed: "It's so good to be alive. It’s worth it to eat such delicious food!”

Wushuang was delighted to hear it. After all, in his opinion, it was nothing more than a pot of stewed tofu with cabbage. He leaned into Feng Bo's ear and whispered: "When I come back from catching some fish some other day, I will use fish Let you try the stewed tofu, the taste is much more delicious than this sunflower stewed tofu! Just one word, fresh, very fresh!"

Uncle Feng's eyes lit up: "That old man will just wait for your lord to fulfill his promise!"

Wushuang snorted softly: "Just wait! The delicious food is yet to come!"

Feng Bo said: "You mean those pots and jars in your yard? I heard that there are moldy beans in them?"

"It's fermented beans," Wushuang corrected. "In short, whether it's soybean paste or soy sauce, you won't be disappointed! I'll squeeze some more oil from beans later, and fry stinky tofu for you to try!"

"Stinky tofu?" Uncle Feng said regretfully, "Why do you want to make it stinky when it's so good?"

Wushuang scratched his head: "It's not that kind of stinky tofu... Anyway, you will know when the time comes, this stinky tofu is a thousand times better than tofu!"

"Yes, is it?" Feng Bo saw that Wushuang was very proud of what he said, and he didn't dwell on the bad words for too long. Instead, he was vaguely looking forward to it?

Feng Bo thought: This bean is really a treasure!And the adults are simply gods!
