Chapter 517 Brush ginseng to make goods

The clubs are all here, and Xu Shiyan's family will definitely live here at night.

So after dinner, everyone started to work again.

Zhou Guilan and Su Anying packed up the quilts and put them on the kang to cover them, while Xu Shiyan and Xu Chenghou took a lot of boards and nailed the front and rear windows of the innermost room of the West House from the inside.

Xu Chenghou's side also has five main rooms, with a door in the middle.

If you want to enter the west room, you have to jump in through the front and back windows instead of going through the front door and through the outer room.

When the house was first built, it was not popular to install steel bars on the windows. At that time, there was no place to install steel bars, so there was no inlay.

The windows have two layers, the outer layer opens outwards, and the inner layer opens inwards.

So the windows are nailed up with wooden boards from the inside, even if a thief really comes in, there is no way to enter the house through the window.

Xu Shiyan and his wife lived in the outer room of the Westinghouse at night, and locked the door. If there was any movement, the husband and wife would know first.

Chu Xuanhuai didn't go back there at night, so he simply stayed in the clinic with Xu Haiyuan.

As for the three rooms in the clinic, Xu Chenghou specially found someone to set up a small kang a while ago, as well as a fireplace and stove, because he was afraid that Chu Xuanhuai would be cold in winter.

Chu Xuanhuai is old and feels light at night. If there is any movement outside, he can hear it.

There are three Xu Jinpings. Needless to say, they must be living outside the east room with Xu Chenghou and his wife.

As for the rambunctious ghost, he didn't know what was going on, he didn't leave after eating the meat, he had to lie down in the outer corridor.

Zhou Guilan saw it, so, hurry up and find a sack for the bunk, let it go.

Now this is the God of Wealth, no one can afford to offend, so do whatever you like.

In this way, each settled down, the door was bolted and locked, the door of the house was plugged, and the family went to sleep in their beds.

It was safe and sound overnight, and everyone was relieved to wake up early.

It's Monday, Xu Shiyan can't always ask for leave, he has to go back to work.

Xu Chenghou and Su Anying had to help Zhao Jianshe, Huang Shengli, and Yang Chunming's family with the club today.

"Mom, if you can't handle the mallet, wait until I come back.

Anyway, I’m not in a hurry for this day, I’m free tomorrow, so let’s brush together. "

Before going out, Su Anying had to tell her mother-in-law.

She is worried that her mother-in-law is too tired to watch the children cook and work hard.

Is Zhou Guilan the kind of person who can take time off? If the mallet comes back and doesn't brush it, how can she be happy?

After the son and daughter-in-law had left, the old lady poured out a sack, soaked it in the big vat outside, and slowly brushed it.

It is estimated that Han Cai'e knew that her in-laws had joined the party, and she was having a hard time at home, so she came to help brush the clubs at eight o'clock.

Even Su Anyu, who was at the hotel and restaurant, was not busy in the morning, so she handed over all the hotel and hotel affairs to Zhou Lirong, and she also came to help with the work.

It’s not just a matter of random brushing.

Pull off the remaining stubble of the mallet straw, and clean the reed bowl left over from the previous year with a bamboo stick.

Then brush off the mud on the main body of the mallet little by little, and then carefully brush the ginseng whiskers.

Don’t use too much force when brushing. Red ginseng is not peeled and raw sun-dried ginseng, so you can’t brush it to break the skin.

If the skin is broken and the pulp is lost, it is easy to have white skin and grooves, and it will not be rated well without being scaled.

The tool for brushing parameters used to be a shoe brush.

Split that kind of bamboo shoe brush into two halves, and use a knife to trim the handle of the brush to a point, so that one brush can be used at both ends.

Later, someone discovered the business opportunity in it and specialized in this kind of brush for brushing ginseng.

It is half narrower than a shoe brush. The black bristles are relatively hard. The handle of the brush is pointed and can be used as a bamboo stick.

Since last year, each company has made products. Zhou Guilan went to the store to buy this kind of brush for brushing ginseng.

Han Cai'e and Su Anyu were also quite sloppy at work, they kept their hands on while talking, and after a while, a big white and plump mallet came out.

"Ma'am, your mallet is really nice, it looks so good."

Su Anyu looked around with the mallet she had brushed, and it was rare.

"Let's not talk about it, this mallet really looks like a little fat doll, no wonder there are ginseng dolls in the ginseng story, how do you look like it?"

"Well, this year our stick is pretty good.

Waiting to pick two big ones for the in-laws, and the elder brother of the in-laws to keep, and then get a bottle and put it in wine or something. "

Zhou Guilan said while brushing the mallet.

Ginseng soaked in wine is a great tonic. If others don't give it to you, why should you keep one for your serious relatives?

"Oh, don't, this ginseng is not expensive.

My uncle is very busy every day, and finally planted some big sticks. It would be a pity to keep the wine. "

Han Caie quickly shook her head and waved her hands when she heard this.

How much does such a big mallet cost? Save the wine? Isn't that spoiling something good?

What’s so good about that wine? Let's keep the selling money for my daughter and uncle.

Zhou Guilan laughed as soon as she heard it, "The ones from our own farm, no matter how expensive they are, won't make the in-laws reluctant to make wine.

Not much, just one tree for each family, buy a big glass bottle, fill it with five or six catties of wine and soak it.

People go to the house during the holidays, so make something out to entertain guests, that’s a good thing that can’t be found anywhere. "

If you put some deer antler, tiger bone, and old grass in it, the wine will be very powerful.

"That's okay, don't get used to their problems.

What’s the point of drinking that wine? It's so spicy, I don't know what those old men think, why do they like this? "

Han Caie shook her head. She has been married to Su Weizhong for many years, but she still hasn't figured it out.

Why do men can't move when they see alcohol? That stuff is so delicious?

When Zhou Guilan heard this, she laughed, "I don't understand this either, maybe they think it's delicious."

Here, the in-laws led Su Anyu to brush the sticks, graded them while brushing, and put the sticks into the large aluminum basin when there were enough brushes.

The reed head of the mallet faces outward, and the beard faces inward, neatly placed in a large basin layer by layer.

Pour half a pot of water into the big pot, put the pot curtain on it, and then the two of them put the big pot on top of the pot curtain together, and add some water to the pot, not too much.

There are a lot of mallets in the big pot, and the big pot with the tip will definitely not be able to cover the pot.

So cover it with a double layer of ginseng plastic film, and tie it tightly with a rope to ensure that the steam inside will not leak out.

Heat the bottom of the pot on a high fire, and steam for two and a half hours.

This is the way to make red goods. It is relatively simple. The difficulty lies in controlling the heat during steaming. The time should be determined according to the size of the stick.

Zhou Guilan did the same thing last year, and she is already very experienced, so there is nothing wrong with this.

While steaming ginseng in the pot, Zhou Guilan found old sheets and clothes that were not used at home, and tore them into strips and bundled sticks.

"In-law, what are you doing here?"

Han Cai'e has never seen this before, so she finds it strange, this is a good product for brushing sticks and mallets, why do they have to be wrapped in cloth strips?

"Oh, these sticks are too big, I'm afraid they will break their petals when steaming. It will be better to wrap them with cloth strips."

The Xu family has a big mallet, so we must pay attention to it. If it is cracked, it will not be sold at a good price if it is not in good condition.
