Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 246 Chapter 240 Five: Meeting
The first three processes can be understood once explained.

As for the last one, Manju and the others looked at the next one covered with oiled paper cloth, a big long bucket as long as one person, with two tripods on both sides, and two wooden blocks that fell in the air were hung on the bamboo pole above it. A gauze bag criss-crossed, a little dumbfounded.

"Aqiu, we have never used this thing before, what happened?" Man Ju asked.

"This is simple, the aunts will know it as soon as they get started." Song Qiu said, waited for the first pot of crushed sweet potatoes to come out of the mill, added some water to it, and then started, while holding the filter rack, Manju helped to use the ladle Scoop a scoop of sweet potato scum and pour it into the gauze of the filter rack.

Then shake the filter frame back and forth in a quick, even and orderly manner, and the slurry seeps from under the gauze and flows into the long wooden barrel below.

Song Qiu filtered several ladles in a row, until there were too many sweet potato residues in the filter rack, and he shook it again to make sure there was no more water, then he took out the dried sweet potato residues and put them aside in a bucket.

Manju and the others looked at it, the water was leaking in the big long bucket *** The potato residues were packed in a small wooden bucket, but I couldn’t tell which one I could have or both, I still couldn’t figure out what to do and what to eat. .

Song Qiu was also afraid that they would not be able to tell the priority, so he quickly added, "What I want is this filtered water, don't pour it out for me! The sweet potato dregs, after filtering, I don't want it, I just take it back and feed it to the pigs. Good stuff, I guess this sweet potato dregs is also indispensable, my pigs can’t eat so much, if any of you raises pigs, you can pick this sweet potato dregs back every day.”

Manju and the others listened and looked at the bucket of sweet potato residue, but they really didn't expect that it was used to feed pigs.

Mei Fu wanted to ask if this sweet potato scum could be cooked and eaten, but seeing that the scum was similar to wet rice bran, thinking that the rice bran would choke his throat, he didn't ask.

In their family, no one is sad enough to eat rice bran now, porridge is still delicious, who wants to suffer from the crime of choking their throat so much that they can't even poop out of their stomachs!
Several aunts have watched it for a while, and let them filter the sweet potato residue that is ground next.

Six people, a group of two, exactly three long barrels with three filter racks.

One person is responsible for shaking, and one person is responsible for scooping sweet potato pulp into it.

There are four assembly lines, those who sit and wash sweet potatoes and peel them, those who stand and cut sweet potatoes into pieces, and those who grind and grind sweet potatoes for pulp, and those who filter sweet potato pulp to produce pulp water.

Seeing that everyone started working in an orderly manner and nothing could go wrong, Song Qiu, who had already explained the process of making sweet potato starch to old Yuan Shi in detail, told old Yuan Shi again that the filtered starch water was hers. If you want it, let's take care of it, don't pour anything, then it will be a waste of work.

Old Yuan Shi wrote down one by one, so that Song Qiu could rest assured.

Seeing the time, Song Qiu reckoned that what was filtered out in one day would at most fill the long barrel, so she would come back to check it in the next afternoon, and hurried to the inn.

Mrs. Wang took Zhang Lihua and A Ling to prepare almost all the kitchen work, even the fish was sliced ​​out. Song Qiu looked at the fish fillets, the thickness of the slices was even, and couldn't help laughing, "Okay, auntie. This fish fillet is good, and I can leave this work to you in the future."

Over the past month or so, Mrs. Wang has learned almost all the cooking ingredients and cooking, such as boiled fish, it is no problem for her to cook them, and the taste is not bad.

If one day she is not in the inn, it will be fine for Wang to take full charge of the cooking.

It's just that the manpower in this kitchen is probably not enough.

Soon, the inn was full of guests, Song Qiu and Wang were busy cooking, Zhang Lihua was in charge of watching the fires in the two kitchens, and A Ling was left alone to serve dishes and meals outside.

Outside, Du Chuanfu was busy greeting guests and had to serve tea and wine.

After being busy this noon, I was too tired.

Song Qiu wiped off his sweat, thinking about what to do, her grandma would have to guard the workshop before the Chinese New Year, and if she had to deliver a baby one day, she would also go to the workshop often.

It's time to add more people.

Song Qiu sat down and drank his tea to take a break, while thinking about this matter, thinking about going to town tomorrow when he finds time.

The tables in the tea shed outside were full, and there were so many people resting their feet at the moment, I'm afraid they would have to wait for a while for lunch at home.

Song Qiu looked outside at the official road, got up, and was going to stew the pig's feet soup for Mrs. Yang.

A few days have passed, and I can start drinking milk and oily things.

The pig's feet soup is stewed, and after lunch, she will go back to the village to visit the workshop.

As soon as I put the pig's feet in a casserole on the small stove and came out, I saw a group of guests outside who had missed the noon time but would arrive at Songshan River before noon.

It was a group of five or six carriages, and the people guarding the front and rear of the carriages were dressed in official uniforms, and it was obvious at a glance that this group belonged to the official family and had a background.

Yang Dalian didn't dare to be careless, and greeted him off the horse, and Du Chuanfu hurried out to greet him.

Soon, a group of officials came straight into the inn, surrounded by dozens of beautiful and lively girls who got off the carriage.

Fortunately, there are no other guests in the inn at this moment, otherwise, there is really no place to sit.

A group of girls divided the tables, and a total of five large tables were seated, and the remaining officials were squeezed into three tables.

All of a sudden, the lobby was full.

The first person whose official uniform color was obviously different from that of other officials contacted Du Chuanfu, asked about the dishes, and then quickly ordered meals for the girls at the tables and themselves, telling them to serve them quickly, and they had to hurry after eating.

Song Qiu stood at the entrance of the corridor, and after listening for most of it, he hurried in to prepare. There are so many people, but it will take a while.

She and Mrs. Wang are two people who are in charge of frying together, and make two and two portions together, so that it is quick.

Ah Ling couldn't even serve the food, so Zhang Lihua set up the fire and came to help serve the food.

A plate of dishes was gently placed on the table, Zhang Lihua was busy, and was about to turn around and go to the kitchen, but she saw a girl in pink who was sitting looking at her.

She subconsciously looked back and was stunned.

Isn't this Miss Xinghua?
I haven't seen you for several months. I heard from my third uncle that these beautiful girls are going to go to the capital. Not long ago, there was a commotion at home because of the money.

It turned out to be leaving for the capital today?
Coincidentally, I stopped here for lunch.

Seeing that Zhang Xinghua just glanced at her, Zhang Lihua didn't intend to say hello to her, so she turned around and went in without saying hello.

Zhang Xinghua looked at her back with thoughtful eyes.

I haven't seen you for a long time, why is this little cousin serving food in this inn?
By the way, when Mother came to see her, she seemed to have mentioned that that girl Song Qiu opened some kind of inn.

So this is here?

How could that little village girl who had never seen the world afford to open such a good inn?

This dish tastes good.

Zhang Xinghua was curious, she had almost finished her meal, so she told the girl next to her that she was going to go to the toilet, got up and went back.

Du Chuanfu paid attention to the officials, but didn't pay attention here, so she went all the way into the kitchen.

Just in time, they saw Song Qiu who was busy in an apron by the stove, and Zhang Lihua who was lighting a fire by the stove.

So it was Song Qiu who was in charge?
Zhang Xinghua felt inexplicable in her heart.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, why is sister Aqiu working as the cook here?"
