After dinner, Gu Manniang and Tang Tiezhu went to Tang Dazhu's house. Knowing that Gu Manniang and they were here to give the silver, Tang Dazhu asked the child to call Tang Erzhu and his family over. And Tang Erzhu and his family came quickly.

Gu Manniang and Tang Tiezhu came to them mainly to give them the money from selling mountain goods.

Therefore, as soon as the people arrived, Gu Manniang didn't say anything bother, and said directly, "Today, eldest brother and second brother, your mushrooms and black fungus were all given to us ten catties each." This mushroom is 20 wen a catty, and the black fungus is 15 wen a catty. Therefore, a total of 350 wen should be given to each of you. ”

Gu Manniang went to Fucheng to sell things this time, so Tang Dazhu and Tang Erzhu were embarrassed to take more things for them to sell. Therefore, each family took out ten pounds of each. As for why they didn't take the chestnuts, they really saw that Gu Manniang took too much by herself, and they were embarrassed to trouble them anymore.

Saying that, Gu Manniang handed them the copper plates that had been installed a long time ago. Tang Dazhu and they were all very excited. Although they all know that this mountain goods will definitely make money, but before they get this money, no one will be too relieved.

"Third brother and sister, thank you so much." Tang Dazhu was so excited that he didn't know what to say. If it weren't for the three brothers and sisters seeing that their lives were too sad, they would have made money.

"Big brother, these are all you deserve, and I didn't help much. Besides, we are all a family, and a family needs to be so polite. Gu Manniang said politely. Originally, it was for Tang Tiezhu to go into the mountains to pick mountain goods, and the purpose was to let Tang Tiezhu be a useful person. As for Tang Dazhu and a few of them, that was only incidental. Therefore, seeing that Tang Dazhu was so polite, Gu Manniang was a little embarrassed.

Listening to what Gu Manniang said, Tang Dazhu and the others felt more and more that Gu Manniang was good. secretly said in her heart that if Gu Manniang could use them in the future, they would definitely do their best to help her.

"Today, we also told the chef of the restaurant that in the future, our mushrooms and black fungus can be sent, and they can be dried and fresh." Gu Manniang continued.

As soon as Gu Manniang said this, for Tang Dazhu and the others, it was undoubtedly a Dinghai God Needle.

"However, they don't want more chestnuts." Gu Manniang said again.

"It doesn't matter, third brother and sister, we don't have a lot of chestnuts in our family, keep them for our own food, or send them away to our relatives and wipe them out." Zhang said with a smile. After saying this, the Zhang family suddenly remembered that there were indeed not many chestnuts in their family and the eldest brother's family, but the third and the second family picked up a lot of chestnuts and came back, what should they do if they can't sell them?

"Third brother and sister, your family has hundreds of pounds of chestnuts, what should I do?" Zhang asked anxiously.

said the wrong thing to Zhang, Gu Manniang didn't take it to heart. only said, "This raw chestnut can't be sold, I'm going to go to Fucheng the day after tomorrow to sell fried chestnuts with sugar." "When she was in Fucheng, Gu Manniang had already thought of a way, so she wasn't worried.

Although Zhang didn't know how Gu Manniang used sugar to fry chestnuts, he was relieved to see that Gu Manniang had already thought of a way.

"Third brother and sister, if there is anything you need, just tell us, and we will definitely help when the time comes." Tang Dazhu hurriedly said.

"Big brother, don't worry, if there is really anything that needs your help, I will definitely not be polite to you."

Gu Manniang and Tang Tiezhu were also tired for a day today, and after the things here were done, the two went back to prepare to wash and rest. After all, the matter is not finished yet, and I will try to fry chestnuts tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Gu Manniang and Gu Zhaodi got up early. The two sisters made breakfast, and when the family had eaten, they began to make sugar-fried chestnuts.

First, wash the chestnuts with water to remove a layer of fluff from the chestnut shell. Then use a knife to cut the chestnut pp to a depth of about 5mm and a length of more than pp. Because it is opened, it will only taste when it is fried. Then wash it and soak it in water for about 10 minutes.

It is particularly troublesome to clean and open chestnuts, and you should be especially careful when opening chestnuts again, in case you are not careful, your hands will be injured. And you have to choose the kind of chestnut with a smoother surface, so that the fried chestnut will look good. However, because of the experiment, this time is not so particular.

However, fortunately, there are more people, so I tried to make two catties first, and it was very fast.

Dry the chestnuts, pour the water that has soaked the chestnuts clean, because the chestnut shell is very smooth, the chestnuts will dry after a while, boil the wok, pour in the salt, take the salt is cold, quickly pour the chestnuts and stir-fry with a spatula.

Stir-fry it slowly, paying attention to make the chestnuts evenly heated, otherwise the raw and cooked chestnuts will be inconsistent, and some chestnuts will be burnt. After a few minutes, you can see the chestnuts slowly rising. At this time, it is necessary to speed up the frequency of stir-frying, so that the salt particles that were previously stuck to the chestnut shell are slowly removed, and the salt color gradually becomes darker.

At this time, add a spoonful of sugar, pay attention to add it slowly, and sprinkle it evenly. When the sugar is added, the salt grains begin to become sticky and gradually turn black, while the sugar is caramelized and burnt. At this time, you need to stir-fry quickly and keep the spatula inserted from the bottom of the pan to ensure that the caramel does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

Continue to stir-fry for about ten minutes, and then you can turn off the heat. Then cover the pot, add the ash that has not been burned out in the stove, and it will be ready to come out after two minutes.

"Manniang, this sugar-fried chestnut smells so fragrant, let's sell it in Fucheng tomorrow." Smelling the fragrance, Tang Tiezhu said confidently.

"I hope so." Although Gu Manniang is quite confident, this thing has not been sold yet, and she can't talk too much.

"Wait a minute, take the fried chestnuts and give them to Aunt Liu to taste." If her craftsmanship is okay, then she will have to be busy next, she must wash these chestnuts out today, and just fry them tomorrow, is it possible to wash and fry them here?

After the chestnuts cooled down a bit, Gu Manniang let everyone taste the taste.

Gu Manniang peeled one first and tried it, and felt that the taste was okay, but it seemed to be a little worse than what she had eaten before. However, it's only a little bit worse, so much so that it can be ignored. Originally, she was not a professional chestnut seller, and her skills were definitely not as strong as others. We can't ask too much.

Tang Tiezhu and Gu Zhaodi ate it, but they thought it was very delicious, especially the two little guys, after tasting one, they couldn't stop at all. ate one and didn't have one, if it weren't for Gu Manniang's fear that they would eat too much and not allow them to eat more, these two would have to eat all the time.

Since Tang Tiezhu and they all said it was good, they can prepare for tomorrow.

Gu Manniang still has about 300 catties of chestnuts at home, of course, she can't wash them all at once. On the first day of tomorrow, Gu Manniang only plans to sell about fifty catties.

However, it seems a bit unrealistic to speculate and sell now. But all of a sudden fried out of the city directly to the city to sell, then the chestnut will definitely be cold, it must not be hot and delicious.

However, the conditions do not allow it, and Gu Manniang can't manage it so much. Cool also has a cold taste, I believe that as long as you taste it, you will definitely not miss the good things.

Even if it is fried and sold directly, it seems that it is a little early to wash chestnuts at this time. Gu Manniang asked Gu Zhaodi to stop, preparing to do it again in the afternoon.

This fried chestnut test came out, and Gu Manniang remembered the cotton cloth she bought yesterday. This makes clothes, Gu Manniang really doesn't have that ability. The lotus promised to help Niuniu make a body out tomorrow, and the other lotuses didn't say they would do it.

Now that I have bought all this cloth, can I still put it in the house as an ornament? This is naturally impossible.

I didn't know how to do it myself, so Gu Manniang thought about it and wanted to ask someone to help do it. It's a big deal to give some manual fees, and when others ask, why don't you do it yourself. After all, at this time, I didn't have ready-to-buy clothes, and if I wanted to wear new clothes, I bought cloth and came back to make it myself. Large families have special embroidery girls, and these small families, or farmers like the Tang family, are all made by the mother-in-law in the house.

Like Gu Manniang, who spent money to hire someone to make clothes, this is really an anomaly. However, when the time came, Gu Manniang only said that she was busy hunting in the mountains and had no time to make clothes, and others would not suspect it. After all, now Gu Manniang casually goes into the mountains, which is better than doing needlework at home.

There's no way to ask someone to be Gu Manniang, she won't do it. As for Brother Gu Zhao, this kid couldn't finish housework all day before, so he had time to do needlework, besides, even if he wanted to do it, someone had to teach him.

Therefore, there is no way to make this dress, Gu Manniang can only spend money to hire someone to make it. As for the clothes at home in the future, Gu Manniang decided to give them to Gu Zhaodi. After this time, Gu Manniang planned to find a master for Gu Zhaodi to learn how to do needlework. Don't say how powerful the master is, at least he can make clothes and come out.

However, it doesn't seem like it's a matter of looking for the master for a while, so let's put it down first. Now we have to think about who is going to make this outfit for.

First of all, the people of the Tang family have to be excluded, if they spend money to ask their family members to help make clothes, this seems to be a bit too outlierable. Even if she was embarrassed to give the money to the Zhang family, the Zhang family was embarrassed to accept it. Therefore, this Tang family has to be excluded.

Aunt Liu can arrive, but she is old, and she is here to take care of Liu, so she definitely doesn't have much energy.

In the end, Gu Manniang decided to entrust this matter to Liniang. Liniang has a good relationship with her, although she can't make a lot of money by helping her make clothes, but no matter how few mosquitoes there are, it's meat, so it can help a little bit.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Gu Manniang took a bowl of sugar-fried chestnuts and took Niuniu to Liniang's house. As for Tang Xiaobao, he is pestering his father, and now he has no time to pester Gu Manniang.

Li Niang was cooking at home, and when she saw Gu Manniang coming with Niuniu, she hurriedly brought a bench for her to sit on. He asked, "Manniang, why did you have time to come to me today, didn't you enter the mountain today?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Manniang said with a smile, "I didn't go into the mountain today because of something at home." As he spoke, he pointed to the contents of the bowl, "I picked these chestnuts on the mountain the day before yesterday, and I just fried them with some sugar and brought them to the children to taste." ”

"Thank you so much." Li Niang was not polite to Gu Manniang, she took a chestnut and peeled it and tasted it, "Don't say it, this taste is really good." ”

"You like to eat and say yes." Gu Manniang then asked, "By the way, have you been busy lately?" ”

"What do I have to keep busy?" Li Niang waved her hand, "I went to pick the cowpeas in the morning just now, and I was about to pick out these tender ones and put them in the kimchi jar, and I can eat after soaking them for a few days." My favorite eater. ”

Although the conditions of Liniang's family are a little worse, the relationship between the two is very good. This made Gu Manniang feel indescribable envy in her heart.

"What? Do you have something to do with me? Seeing that Gu Manniang didn't speak for a long time, Li Niang frowned and asked. Could it be that your mother and they are coming to you again? ”

For Gu Manniang's mother's family, Liniang is also very annoying. Gu Manniang is already a married daughter, the Gu family is good, the daughter she gave birth to is not raised, and the younger daughter is pushed to the married daughter, which is only done by the two members of the Gu family.

"Nope." Gu Manniang waved her hand, then helped Liniang pick cowpeas, and said, "Am I like the bullied person now?" ”

Li Niang nodded fiercely.

Gu Manniang smiled helplessly when she saw this, and didn't explain much. He said, "I came to you today to do me a favor." ”

"Who am I with you, what are you doing with me? If there's anything, just say it, and I will definitely help if I can. ”

"You also know that I often go to the mountains, and yesterday I bought some cotton cloth and came back, intending to make clothes for the family, but unfortunately I can't keep busy, so I want to ask you if you can help me make clothes." Gu Manniang explained her intention.

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal." Li Niang patted Gu Manniang with her hand. "Don't you just make clothes? Wait a minute, just bring the cloth. Li Niang agreed without saying a word.

"A total of five sets of clothes, two of my brothers, one for me, one for Xiaobao, and one for Xiaobao's father......"

"Why don't you have one?"

"Niuniu's clothes, her sister-in-law said she would help make them."

Hearing this, Li Niang nodded clearly.

"Fifty yuan for each set of adults, thirty yuan for each set of children ......"

"Manniang, what do you mean?" When Li Niang heard Gu Manniang say that she wanted to give her money, she was very dissatisfied. What is the relationship between her and Gu Manniang, if she helps her make some clothes and gets money. Is she still human? Say it, what do others think of her Liniang. I would definitely think that her Liniang had fallen into the eyes of money.

"Li Niang, don't worry, you listen to me first." Gu Manniang explained, "This is not one or two pieces of clothing, but several pieces of clothing, one or two pieces I will definitely not tell you to give you money, so much if you don't collect money, then I will go to someone else later." I'm sure others will be willing. ”

It's all at this time, and Li Niang doesn't know that Gu Manniang is helping her family. Just like Manniang said, who is looking for is not looking, not to mention how good her skills are. In the end, Li Niang had no choice but to accept Gu Manniang's favor.
