Chapter 11 Remembering the bitter persimmon fruit

Chen looked at the three daughters, and then looked at Gu Siniang's expectant face, gritted his teeth, picked up a piece of persimmon, and Gu Cuihua hesitantly reached out to take a piece. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's so sweet!" Gu Cuihua said with some surprise.

"Really delicious?" It was Ma Shi who spoke, she was the oldest, and naturally knew what this persimmon fruit tasted like. Before, she heard Gu Yuanniang say that it was delicious, but now even Gu Cuihua said the same, which made her can't help but be curious.

"Grandma, you can taste it, Siniang won't lie to you." Gu Siniang saw that Ma was a little loose, and immediately put on a smile and handed the persimmon over.

Ma Shi looked at the golden fruit for a long time, as if he was thinking, and after hesitating, he reached out and took it, put it to his mouth and took a bite, his originally frowning brows stretched out, revealing a look of surprise, "This is a persimmon?" ”

The shock inside could be heard from Ma's surprised tone, and he smacked his mouth, as if he still had some aftertaste.

"Hee-hee, grandma, I didn't lie to you. It's really sweet, isn't it? Gu Siniang looked up proudly, looking like she was begging for praise.

Ma pursed his lips, and hummed a little uncomfortably on his face, he was not used to being too enthusiastic, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pick up when he didn't overdo it.

"Siniang, are you going to sell this on the next set?" Gu Sizhuang didn't know when he got a persimmon, and joked while eating.

"Yes, Fourth Uncle, do you think it's okay?" Gu Siniang didn't hide her thoughts, and nodded seriously.

Gu Sizhuang only asked casually because he had heard Siniang talk about it before, and now seeing that her small face was full of seriousness, he was embarrassed to perfunctory her, so he put away the playful look on his face and thought seriously.

"This ......"

"Fourth uncle, isn't it good?" Gu Siniang felt that her method would make money, but in the end, she was still a little unconfident.

Gu Sizhuang stared at the persimmon in his hand for a while before grinning, "It tastes good, I think there is a play." ”

Gu Siniang's originally somewhat gloomy eyes lit up suddenly, and the smile on her face couldn't be stopped, "Really?" Fourth uncle, do you really think so? ”

"Of course it's true, can the fourth uncle still lie to you?" Gu Sizhuang pretended to raise his face, "Your fourth uncle is a person who reads sage books, how can he coax children at will." ”

"We also think it's delicious, and we can definitely sell it at a good price." Gu Yuanniang also said.

"Siniang, but do you have enough fruit in your hand?" Chan asked questions.

"I didn't get too much in the first batch, in addition to the few we ate, there were ten left, and the main thing to go to the market tomorrow is to see the reaction, if the effect is good, the next market will do more." She has already thought about this problem, it is really useless to make too many in the first batch, persimmons are regarded as a flood beast here, it takes so much effort for the Gu family to try, not to mention letting the people in the market pay for it.

So in the first batch, she just wanted to be a stepping stone, tomorrow's market is small, and three days later there will be a big market, and the flow of people has directly increased several times. Her main focus was on the bazaar three days later.

Chen Shi thought about it and still felt a little unreliable, these persimmons are all over the mountain, where can they be sold, she opened her mouth, and just wanted to speak, Ma Shi had already spoken one step ahead of her.

"Alright, it's not too early, let's all go and rest. Tomorrow I have to get up early. Since the way to eat persimmons was discovered by Siniang, then leave this matter to Siniang to decide. ”

Ma said so, Chen naturally didn't say anything, just as Siniang made a small fuss, only smiled and nodded, "That's what my mother said." ”

"I'll go outside and read a book by moonlight." Gu Sizhuang quickly stuffed the persimmon in his hand into his mouth, and then walked out with the book in his hand.

"Fourth uncle, reading at night hurts your eyes, don't watch it too late." Gu Siniang shouted behind her, in this era, there are no myopic glasses, and her eyes are tired, and she will basically be blind in the future.

Gu Sizhuang's obvious footsteps trembled, and he waved his hand at her, "I'll just look at it for a while." ”

Everyone dispersed and returned to the room, and soon there was only a slightly lonely figure left in the hall, and under the dim light, it became more and more alone.

Gu Dazhuang sat alone at the table, staring at the half of the persimmon on the table.

Just now everyone was talking in the room, but he didn't speak, but he was directly ignored, and finally everyone dispersed, leaving him alone.

Gu Dazhuang was a little sad and a little annoyed, why did they all think that persimmons were delicious, wouldn't it be a hell?

As soon as he sees this thing now, his mouth is subconsciously bitter, and in that year of famine, in order to fill his stomach, he ate half a month in one breath to satisfy his hunger, and as a result, his tongue had no taste for several days.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt frightened, but he saw the reaction of the rest of the Gu family just now, so there was some doubt in his eyes, could it be that Siniang really knew how to spell, such an unpalatable thing, it would become delicious after a few days?

It seems that there are two villains fighting in my heart, one says let him try it, and the other says don't taste it, do you still want to experience the feeling that the bitter tongue is paralyzed?

"Da Zhuang, why haven't you returned to the house yet?" Chen came out of the room and saw Gu Dazhuang sitting at the table in a daze, and walked over to sit down beside him.

"kid, you think this thing is really delicious?" Gu Dazhuang really couldn't think of a clue, so he had to ask.

Chen Shi was stunned for a moment, then covered his lips and smiled, "What am I doing when you don't go to sleep, are you still thinking about this?" ”

Being smiled at by Chen, Gu Dazhuang's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, thinking that he was a dignified man, but he was actually frightened by such a small thing, and after everyone had eaten it.

"Ahem, I was just curious, so I asked."

Chen didn't know much about Gu Dazhuang, and he was obviously embarrassed to see him like this, so he couldn't help but quip, "Don't you know if you taste it?" ”

Gu Dazhuang was choked for a moment, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Chen looking at him with a smile in his eyes, and said in his heart, how can he not be looked down upon, it's just a big deal, it's good to be uncomfortable again.

With his hands almost trembling, he picked up the half of the persimmon, looked at Chen again, then closed his eyes and stuffed it into his mouth suddenly.

didn't even chew, just swallowed it directly, swallowed it urgently, and choked on his cough.

Chen Shi was startled when he saw him like this, and hurriedly poured water for him, and couldn't help but blame him in his mouth, "How old are you, how can you choke on something after eating." ”

Gu Dazhuang took the water cup, took a big sip, and took a few breaths, which eased up, and there was no expected bitter taste in his mouth, but a faint fruity aroma.

"You, I usually see that you are quite bold, such a small persimmon, how can you be scared like this." Chen shook his head and said.

"I'm really a little scared, my tongue is numb when I ate that year." Gu Dazhuang couldn't help but feel palpitations when he mentioned this matter.

Chen's eyes were unconsciously reddened, the famine over there was very ruthless, and dozens of villages in the entire Yushui City were all affected without exception.
