Chapter 291
"Father, I went out to play."

An An, who ran into the bedroom, yelled at the mother who was at the desk to settle the accounts, and beside her was Jin Bao Jin Dan and Da Hei, who kept pulling his tail.

Gu Lan smiled and nodded at his son, "Go, take Dahei with you."

"Yeah," An An happily agreed, and ran out in a hurry.

"Don't run away, you're knocking carefully." Gulan couldn't help shouting, then shook his head, and appointed the desk-sider to look at the account book.

I have been in the tofu and dried tofu business for more than a month, and the largest day of shipments reached more than 500 catties, and the total shipments these days reached more than 300 catties.

Among them, [-] catties of tofu, and [-] catties of dried tofu.

That is to say, for more than a month, with the principal and interest, the total income is 67 taels to 57 taels, and the net income is more than [-] taels after deducting the capital.

In addition to the net income of 24 taels of toffee for eight days, the income of more than 81 taels without going out of the house for more than a month is not bad.

Gu Lan was satisfied, and then poured out the odds and ends of silver in the wooden box and counted them carefully. He took out more than 40 taels, and put the rest back in.

When the new year's day came, even the servants who signed the death contract should make them happy after being busy for so long.

These are the moon silver she is going to send out.

According to the original monthly silver, except for the gold steward, the other people will range from [-] to [-] cash per month according to their respective buddies, and the housekeeper is one tael of silver.

But everyone has worked hard for more than a month, and she is not hard-hearted, so she can see it, so this month she plans to double all the monthly silver, not only that, but also a bonus.

Then, Gu Lan asked Steward Jin to gather the family members, and distributed the monthly silver and bonuses without delay, even a few small ones.

It goes without saying that everyone is happy to get the money.

Of course, this is not the first time they have received the moon silver, but the feeling is very different. Although these days are very tiring, they have gained something. It seems that the days are more exciting, so they are more excited and hold the silver in their hands tightly. .

Then Gulan gave the steward Jin twelve taels for chewing at home during the New Year's Eve, and even a little bit of money was saved, and the steward Jin asked her for instructions.

The closer to the New Year's Eve, the more Gu Lan found that the New Year here is very close to the ancient times in her world, and there is not much difference.

In fact, Gu Lan has already seen it, not to mention the food, but the books the students read are all familiar and impressive to her. This is a small world that is completely a replica of the previous world.

It's just that the historical progress of the dynasty is different.

This is better, and there is no need to worry about changing history.

Next, it is the preparations before the New Year's Eve.

With Butler Jin and his wife around, Gu Lan didn't worry much about it. She was completely busy from the 24th of the year, cleaning, frying things, stewing meat, butchering chicken, steaming steamed buns and steamed buns, etc. until the 29th of the year.

On the 27th day of the period, Gulan specifically looked for an opportunity to transfer a wild boar from the space, and marinated the whole wild boar.

Wild pork has a strong fishy smell, and the overbearing aroma of the stew can completely cover up its fishy smell.

Also, more than half of the beef sent to Yunjin was made into sauced beef, and most of the chicken, duck and pork that Qi Heng Wen Youdu sent for the new year were also turned into braised meat by Gulan.

During the period, it took two days for Gu Lan to figure out the brick oven with the help of Xia Mu and others.

It is similar to a small house with a base, and iron rods are placed in the middle of the house, and the hollow function is to facilitate the fall of charcoal ash.

There are enough places for chickens and ducks to hang around and on the top of the house, and a special iron plate is placed below for dripping oil.

Then, under Gu Lan's instruction, Butler Jin went to the city and bought dozens of chickens and ducks, all of which were slaughtered and pickled.

Except for the first few chickens and ducks that were burnt because they didn't master the fire well, the rest of the chickens and ducks were all golden, crispy and fragrant.

However, during the roasting period, there must be a special person watching, and turning the chicken and duck from time to time.

On the 27th of the year, Gu Lan had been busy all day, and the yard was filled with all kinds of meaty smells, which wafted all the way to the village.

It's the Chinese New Year, and everyone is no longer short of meat, but they still can't help but salivate when they smell the overbearing smell of meat.

They all talked about the craftsmanship of Master Gu, which was simply amazing.

28. Early in the morning, the housekeeper asked Jin to bring all kinds of meat marinated and sauced, as well as roast duck, roast chicken, spicy pepper chicken, toffee and some pastries that he had just figured out.

It is the Xuemei Niang series. As soon as Gulan made something that adults and children would not like to eat, An An was the most popular one.

A variety of flavors have been made, including black sesame fillings, taro fillings, matcha fillings, and pure cream fillings.

When it comes to cream, it takes a lot of effort to make the milk into whole milk powder, and then separate the cream from the milk powder.

Due to the difference in specific gravity of fat in milk, light fat globules will float on the upper layer, and the fat globules that float up will eventually become cream.

In short, it took a lot of effort to make the cream, but as long as you figure out the steps, the rest is actually not as difficult as imagined.

That is to say, Gu Lan has nothing to do right now, and he is thinking about researching food all day long, otherwise he really doesn't have the time to spare.

But it was not in vain.

Bara took pains to prepare these, which Gulan will send out as a New Year's gift.

Naturally, if you accept someone else's gift, you have to return a gift, and besides her culinary skills, she really has nothing to give away, and those few people don't lack anything.

Divide these things into three parts, of which Xiang Yunjin naturally had the most, and Wen Youdu and Qiheng both had the same amount, and then Xia Mu, the housekeeper of Jin, delivered them one by one.

Although Gu Lan's New Year gift was not something expensive, it was really sent to the hearts of Xiang Yunjin and Qi Heng, especially Xue Mei Niang, who was deeply loved by the women of the Wen family and the Qi family.

On the night of the New Year's Eve dinner, all these meats were eaten, and the rest suddenly lost their flavor, which can be said to be wiped out.

Even Xiang Yunjin, who brought all these meals to Yunyuan, took out a piece of sauced beef and a pepper chicken on the night of the New Year's Eve dinner, and Xiang Wangye ate quite a lot at once with a rare appetite.

Of course, this is all for later, and the New Year gifts have just left the Gu family's house at this moment.

Besides Xiang Yunjin and the others, several well-connected households in the village also gave New Year gifts, but it was Gu Lan who gave them personally.

Of course, the quantity must be different, after all, they sent a lot of meat to Yunjin and the others, and it is normal to have a lot of annual gifts.

The meat that was sent out was also their own stewed and sauced meat, and each family also had a roast duck and a pack of pastries.

However, Uncle Li's family had an extra pack of Xue Mei Niang, a pepper chicken and a pot of wine. After all, there was a difference between closeness and estrangement. They were still relatives in name, and the Li family really treated her very well.

After packing up, the first place I took my son to go was Uncle Li's house.

Old man Li and Mrs. Li are so happy that Gulan is here. They really didn't expect that Gulan would come to give New Year's gifts.

Immediately, Gu Lan left without letting go, calling for his daughters-in-law to start talking about it.

In the end, Gulan, who was dumbfounded, left An'an and left Uncle Li's house after repeatedly promising that he would come again.

An An and Li Jiaben are very close, plus there are Goudan, Sanhe and Sihe, the little guy is also very comfortable to stay.
