Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 38 Establishing a home team and researching soy products

After building a house vigorously and studying in the village, Qu You finally realized a problem.

Money, it seems that there is not much...

Reluctantly, she took out the money bag where the banknotes were placed and counted and counted, counting N times, and finally had to accept this cruel fact.

Qu You went to the village school with a sad face and listlessness. She had to find a way to make money as soon as possible. She couldn't always rely on selling ginseng for money, and the things in the space were too conspicuous, which could easily arouse suspicion.

"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good and similar,..."

Suddenly there was the sound of reading aloud, and Qu You realized that she had walked to the gate of the village school unknowingly.That childish and neat recitation made her smile knowingly, no matter what, what she is doing now is meaningful.

Suddenly, Qu You seemed to think of something, turned around and ran home.

"Mother, first aunt, second aunt..." Qu You yelled as she ran, causing nearby villagers to look back at her.

"What's the matter, what's the matter."

Qu You's yelling was so ear-piercing that Wang was the first to run out in fright.Grandma Han and the two aunts followed closely, fearing that something might happen to Qu You.

"You dead child, why are you yelling when you're fine?" Seeing that Qu You was fine, Empress Wang patted her chest in fear.

"Grandma, I want to ask, do we have soy products in Chu?" Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Qu You further explained. "That is, tofu made from soybeans, tofu nao, dried tofu and soy milk."

"No..." The second aunt Cheng shook her head first, she had never heard of what Xiaoyou said.

"Sister You, is it because the family doesn't have enough money?" The child who usually doesn't care about making a living actually asked this. Something must have happened, and according to the child's spending speed, 3000 taels of ginseng was sold. I guess there isn't much left.

Qu You turned her head and looked at grandma Han Shi in surprise, she didn't expect that the clearest person in this family was actually grandma.She nodded embarrassingly.

"That……"

Mrs. Wang was a little overwhelmed. She lived so comfortably these days. She didn't need to embroider, and didn't need to go to the field. She was raising food and drink, and she had gained a lot of weight.

"Mother, don't worry, I've thought of a way to make money. I'll tell everyone when my father and grandpa come back tonight." Qu You looked at Wang Shi with a wicked smile.Since this era has never heard of soy products, then let her start this new era.

"Your grandpa said that you are in charge of the family, and what you think is the best way to do it. We will support you." After the grandma finished speaking, she took the three daughters-in-law and left.

After dinner, the Qu family held another meeting.Qu You looked around with his eyes, and found that Qu Xiao and Qu Dongsheng, who were usually unable to attend the meeting, were included.She nodded in satisfaction, coughed lightly, and started the opening remarks of this family meeting.

"Our Qu family has a lot of major events recently, first is building a new house, then opening a village school, inviting water banquets and daily expenses. After such a toss, there is not much left of the 3000 taels I sold ginseng at the beginning." Qu You After speaking, I looked up and found that no one showed any signs of panic, so I felt more confident in my heart. With wealth, we must be able to share suffering.

"Xiaoyou, it's okay if you don't have money, the big deal is that we will continue to work as before, just work harder."

"Mother can still embroider, so you won't be hungry."

"That's right, sister You, don't worry, Dad is making some progress in his village school now. Although life is difficult, there is no obstacle that the family can't overcome if they work together."

"Yeah, if it doesn't work, uncle will go to Yanlai County to do some carpentry work. With the few blueprints you drew for uncle, you can earn some money back."

Uncle's words brightened Qu You's eyes, "Oh, let me go, why didn't she think of those blueprints?"She couldn't guarantee if the furniture style above was available in Tianqi Continent, but Chu State specified whether it was available.

"Uncle, how many carpenters are as skilled as you?" Qu You was excited. She could gather these skilled carpenters to create new furniture styles for wealthy families, and strive to become the first home production team in Chu State. .

"There are five or six."

"Uncle, if you have time tomorrow, call them over. I will draw some blueprints for you. First, try to make some free furniture for the nearby villagers to practice your hands. After you succeed, you will start to accept orders from wealthy people. I will try to let you You have become the number one home furnishing team in Chu."

"Xiaoyou, we also want to join."

Qu You's words made the three cousins ​​also excited, and they asked her to agree to join them.

"Do you know?"

"Yes, there is no child in the farm who can't work as a carpenter, it's just that the craftsmanship is different."

"Okay then, after Uncle gathers all the carpenters, you will join in. However, let me make it clear that whoever is not good enough at that time will be disqualified."

No matter how excited the three cousins ​​are, Qu You always wants to put ugly words first.

"Well~ there is one more thing. I recently invented a new food called soy products. The so-called soy products are products made from soybeans, including tofu made from soybeans, soy milk made from soybeans, and soy products. Dried tofu and tofu nao.”

"Xiaoyou, how do you make this kind of food?" As soon as the food was mentioned, the two aunts immediately became interested.

"To make tofu, you must first select soybeans with good quality, because the quality of soybeans directly affects the yield and quality of tofu. When selecting soybeans, you must choose soybeans that are full of grains to improve the pulp yield. At the same time, pick out moldy soybeans to avoid deterioration. Affect the quality of tofu, remove debris before soaking in water. Pay attention to the water temperature and soaking time, and pay attention to the quality and quantity of water used. The soaking time varies with the temperature and water temperature. Generally, the soaking time is longer in winter. Long, soak for 5-6 hours, 4-5 hours in spring and autumn, and 2-3 hours in summer. The soaked bean noodles must be completely submerged in water, and the water surface should be higher than the bean noodles. At the same time, pay attention to the water quality of the soaking water , In addition, you need to change the water when soaking in summer." Qu You told everyone about the production of soybean products in a slow and patient tone.For every question about soy products raised by the elders in the family, she actively answers, and strives to let everyone learn as soon as possible.With the concerted efforts of the Qu family, she doesn't believe that life will be difficult.

"Tomorrow my uncle will call the carpenter first, and my aunt and second aunt will go to the village to buy soybeans. Everything is difficult at the beginning, we can practice first, and try to make the brand an instant success after the craft is successful."

Qu You talked eloquently without any stage fright. Grandpa Qu was very satisfied with that kind of general style. His original decision was indeed right. This child will become a great weapon in time.
