After the gourds became refined, farming made a fortune and exploded in another world

Chapter 37 37. Old Man Ding
Uncle Ding's yard is very big, divided into front yard and back yard. The front yard is empty except for a few large water tanks. The two walked for a long time before reaching the main house.

"Uncle Ding, I brought Master Qi to find you."

When Wei Er arrived in front of the main room, he shouted away.

"I heard it! You have a loud voice, don't you?"

Uncle Ding came out of the house with a hunched body, and couldn't help but cursed with a smile.

Looking up, she saw Nan Xi standing in the courtyard in light blue clothes.

This seventh master is so handsome.

Uncle Ding sighed.

"Uncle Ding, this is my boss Qi Ye, she came to see your soy sauce."

Wei Er found a place to sit down by himself, picked up the kettle and poured two glasses of water.

He is so familiar with this place, he should come here a lot.

Uncle Ding looked at Nan Xi with a smile, "So it's Lord Qi, the little old man is disrespectful, please sit down quickly."

He heard from people in the village that many people worked at Qiye's in the next village and made a lot of money every day.

I also heard that Lord Qi bought the wasteland on the mountain behind their village, and now he is planting crops.

Even for Qiye's benevolence and righteousness, old man Ding also respected her.

Qiye saved their entire village!
"Don't be so polite, old man. I came to you to discuss something with you."

Nan Xi also sat down.

Old man Ding sat down and poured Nan Xi a cup of tea, "My son picks the tea leaves that are made in the mountains here, little old man. Qi Ye should try it."

Speaking of his son, old man Ding smiled all over his face.

Nan Xi took a sip, "It's really good! This is still wild tea!"

The tea grown in the mountains is indeed a good thing.

Such things are rare.

Old Man Ding smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Qi Ye, you said you came to me because of the soy sauce?"

Generally, those who come to him have nothing else to do, either to buy the secret recipe of soy sauce or to buy soy sauce.

In the past, he also sent away many people. This is a secret recipe handed down from the ancestors, and he will not sell it.

"Exactly, I heard from Wei Er that the old man's soy sauce is delicious, can I have a look?"

Nan Xi did not see the quality of the soy sauce with his own eyes, so he will not comment.

Let's talk about the quality of soy sauce.

Nan Xi was overwhelmed by the smell of soy sauce in the town.

"Okay! I'll go to Shengdian and show it to Master Qi."

Uncle Ding took a bowl and went to the big water tank.

I looked at the dates above and found the oldest one to open.

Old man Ding just opened the seal of the big water tank, and a smell of soy sauce filled the whole small courtyard.

Nan Xi was curious and walked over to take a look.

The big water tank is full of black soy sauce, exuding a salty smell.

It is the kind of salty aroma after fermentation.

The soy sauce is thick and black, and it is indeed a good soy sauce.

"Uncle Ding, your soy sauce smells so good!"

This is the real soy sauce. What is the name of the one sold in the grain store in Liuting Town?

There is simply no comparison to this.

Old man Ding smiled and scooped out a bowl of soy sauce, and sealed the mouth of the big vat.

"Qi Ye, this is my brewed soy sauce, what do you think?"

Old man Ding put the bowl on the table.

The soy sauce in the bowl shook, and thick soy sauce could be seen hanging on the wall of the bowl.

Nan Xi could still smell the aroma of soy sauce, so she dipped a little bit of it with her finger and put it in her mouth to taste it.

"Not bad! This soy sauce is really good! Why doesn't Old Man Ding sell it in the town?"

This quality of soy sauce is absolutely delicious.

Are those big restaurants not earning money to buy them?
Old Man Ding shook his head, "Master Qi doesn't know something. Those restaurants think that soy sauce is just for dyeing. They don't know that soy sauce can be used to enhance freshness. Many restaurants would rather not use soy sauce for cooking. The dishes look ugly."

Chefs in many restaurants do not deliberately boil the meat in white water, but they do not have the know-how to cook with soy sauce.

Which means no recipes.

They eat soy sauce with meat, which can add some freshness to the white pork.

When old man Ding said this, Nan Xi suddenly realized.

It's not that they intentionally turn the meat into plain boiled meat, it's that they don't know how to put soy sauce in the dishes they cook, and what kind of dishes should put soy sauce.

Soy sauce is a rare thing here, and it is rarely used, so old man Ding didn't plan to open a shop.

In the past, some people came to buy his secret recipe for soy sauce, but he rejected them all.

Later, those people did not come to him again, which shows that selling soy sauce alone is not a wise business.

Nan Xi doesn't think so. The meat in her shop is all authentic. She still wants to make braised pork. Since it is braised pork, soy sauce is absolutely indispensable.

"Uncle Ding, how about the two of us working together? I don't need to buy the soy sauce recipe in your hand. Since it is inherited from my ancestors, I don't want an outsider to steal what others like. How about we cooperate to brew soy sauce?"

In fact, Nanxi has a lot of recipes for making soy sauce in his hands. If he doesn't want to do it himself, it is best to find someone to cooperate with.

The master who taught her medical skills in the past also brewed soy sauce by himself, but the soy sauce and vinegar he brewed both have the effect of strengthening the body.

It is much more delicious than soy sauce brewed from pure grains.

Since she is going to open a restaurant, these things are naturally indispensable.

She can not open a soy sauce shop temporarily, but it doesn't mean she can't open a shop in the future.

After people eat the braised pork she made, are they afraid that the soy sauce will not be sold?

Old man Ding was taken aback, "Is the cooperation that Master Qi said is true?"

During this period of time, life at home was difficult for him. He wanted to do something to earn money, but he was worried about the soy sauce at home.

It is possible for his son to go hunting in the mountains all day, and live in the mountains for ten days and a half months, or even one or two months.

There are a lot of people hunting now, and there is no prey outside the mountains. If you go to the deep mountains, you may not be able to return.

Old man Ding forbade his son to go hunting in the deep mountains, and there were very few prey outside.

If there is a future in making soy sauce, he still hopes that his son will start the soy sauce business with him at home.

"Of course it is true. Since Old Man Ding can make soy sauce, I believe there is a recipe for vinegar, right?"

Since this soy sauce and vinegar are the seasoning reserves of her restaurant, it is natural that vinegar and sesame oil are indispensable.

All these things will be used later.

"Yes! Vinegar is less used, so I didn't make it."

Old man Ding sighed, the ancestors of the Ding family have studied these things for many years, but they couldn't use this to make a business.

But he has refined the skills of brewing soy sauce and vinegar.

In his generation, he regards brewing these things as his lifeblood, and he only hopes that one day he can leave something for future generations.

Nan Xi smiled and said, "That's easy to say, I'll pay for it, you just brew it, and I'll give you a few other recipes I know. In addition, I want to make a different soy sauce and vinegar."

She didn't know what Uncle Ding's brewing recipe looked like, but it was different from what she knew anyway.

She also plans to make soy sauce with added Chinese herbs, which can strengthen the body and taste more fragrant.
