(This chapter is a little fresh, but don't be in a hurry, the wonderful will come soon~~so let Qiqi see the charming little paws of friends~~Aim~)
Coming out of the back room in a huff, Gu Qi told Xuan'er to play by herself, and stepped into her small kitchen.
She and Xuan'er ate some of the peaches she had picked with her hard work last night, and gave a few more to the Lin family's aunt, and she was going to use the rest to make peach sauce to sell.
Although I don't know if people in this world also like to eat this sweet and greasy food, there is always a market for such a novelty, and even if adults don't like it, children must love it for ten minutes.
Carefully tied up his sleeves with a cloth rope, recalling the method of making peach sauce he had seen on the Internet before, Gu Qi reached out and scooped the freshly beaten water from a scoop of water tank into the basin, and poured the big red peaches into it one by one. Seeing that the washing was almost done, he peeled and pitted the peaches directly, chopped them into the cauldron on the stove, added a little water and began to boil them on high heat.
Stirring and putting sugar from time to time, looking at the rising white moisture, the words of the mysterious man last night gradually came to mind:
"This dead man's nourished peach tastes very good!"
"Ahh
Gu Qi looked at the bubbling yellow peach sauce in the cauldron, and a feeling of nausea immediately came up, and he retched a few times on the ground as soon as he turned his head.
"Kill a thousand knives-" Gu Qi raised his sleeve and touched the corner of his mouth, took the wooden spoon that stirred the peach sauce and pointed to the blue corner outside the window and said: "If you dare to let Aunt Ben know who you are, I will definitely pour you a few mouthfuls of horse urine!"
Hmph, Gu Qi turned anger into strength, the pot of peach sauce was almost stirred, and the soup in the pot was quickly absorbed, and the thick aroma of peach sauce wafted all over the house.
Flameout.
was about to take the jar to scoop out the peach sauce to cool, when she saw the door of the kitchen, Xiao Xuan'er was looking over with her head.
"Come, Xuan'er, come here." Gu Qi waved his hand and called Xuan'er, who was still sucking her fingers outside the door, in.
"Sister-" Xuan'er heard Gu Qi's call, and ran over happily, holding her skirt and not letting go.
"Xuan'er," Gu Qi looked at her younger brother with a smile, "Sister asked you, is the freshly boiled peach sauce fragrant?" β
"Well, the peach sauce made by my sister is very fragrant, better than ......" Xuan'er rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "The pickles made by Grandma Li's house are more fragrant!" β
"Then since my sister's sauce is so good, why doesn't Xuan'er come and taste it?"
"Hmm...... Because Xuan'er was afraid that she would interfere with her sister's work. The little one lowered his head and stared at his toes.
"Xuan'er-" Gu Qi sighed and hugged Xuan'er tightly in his arms.
I didn't expect such a young child to be so sensible, but such a weak temperament is not suitable for living in such a poor environment.
Holding Xuan'er's soft little face, Gu Qi said with a straight face: "Sister has always known that Xuan'er is an obedient and good child, but my sister hopes that Xuan'er can directly express her thoughts in front of her sister or someone who is good to you, I don't know if Xuan'er can do it?" β
Xiao Xuan'er looked at her sister's face thoughtfully, and nodded heavily: "Sister, Xuan'er can do it." β
"Okay, Xuan'er is the most well-behaved, then my sister will reward Xuan'er for the freshly baked peach sauce, okay?"
"Okayβ" Xuan'er nodded happily, the smile on her face like a sunflower that had just bloomed.
scooped a large spoonful of freshly made peach sauce into Xuan'er's mouth, and looked at his younger brother's smiling face, Gu Qi's slightly dignified face also relaxed.
"Okay, Xuan'er go play, my sister will give you two side dishes at noon!" Gu Qi rubbed Xuan'er's little head.
"Hoorayβ"
Looking at Xuan'er jumping and running out, Gu Qi pursed her lips and smiled, and finally saw a childlike happy face in him.
β¦β¦
"Xuan'er, Zongzi have eaten!"
Gu Qi put the meal on the table of ash, which had been scrubbed and clean, and the aroma of the meal immediately wafted.
"Zongzi? Is zongzi my name? Someone asked, pointing to his still somewhat sallow face.
"yes, that's your name." Gu Qi nodded solemnly, but when she thought of the meaning of the "zongzi" itself, she almost held back her internal injuries.
Haha, it seems that this person has lost his memory, and he can't even remember his name, if he knew that this zongzi refers to those big zombies and monsters with long hair, I don't know if he would agree so happily.
Gu Qi held back a smile while beckoning the two of them to dine, although the current economic situation has made her unable to buy those good ingredients, but who is Gu Qi, as a senior foodie, feeding herself under any circumstances is the last word.
Coincidentally, under the guidance of the Lin family's aunt, Gu Qi found that there was a large field around the town, and the field was full of many wild vegetables that she knew, so of course she unceremoniously took them into her pocket, which became the meal at noon.
"Sister, what is this, so delicious?" Xuan'er asked, pointing to a plate of green leaves.
"Oh, that's wolfberry sprouts, also known as beetroot, the taste is refreshing and delicious, Xuan'er, you eat more." Gu Qi smiled and handed the wolfberry sprouts with chopsticks to Xuan'er's bowl, and Xuan'er happily ate them.
"That'...... What's on this plate? A certain zongzi, who had not spoken much, pointed to the slender and long dish in front of him and asked.
Gu Qi glanced at the dish, and then said: "This is bracken, also known as Ruyi dish among the people, this dish is delicious and fragrant, refreshing, but it is a first-class delicacy, if you are not used to eating it, it doesn't matter, just give me that dish." With that, he got up and went to change the dishes.
A certain zongzi was in a hurry, slapped Gu Qi's hand away, hurriedly protected the dish in his arms, and frowned like a child and shouted: "No, no, I want to eat this dish, you can't take it." β
Gu Qi just wanted to scare him, but seeing him like this, he had no choice but to give up, returned to his seat with the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and continued to give this big and small cloth dish.
After a wild vegetable meal, several people were satisfied, looking at the satisfied expressions on everyone's faces, Gu Qi happily served everyone another after-dinner drink.
"Lady, what is this?" Looking at the bowls of yellow juice in front of him, a certain zongzi asked curiously.
Listening to the man's "lady" again and again, Gu Qi's good-looking eyebrows frowned slightly, but in front of Xuan'er, she didn't say much, so she had to stare at him obliquely: "This is a drink made of peach sauce, let's try it." β
Hearing this, Zongzi picked up the bowl suspiciously, took a sip gently, and then the doubts on his face were replaced by surprise, and he drank the bowl of juice without saying a word.
"This juice is so delicious, lady, how do you do it?"
Gu Qi drank his share by himself, took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and turned away.
Zongzi frowned, and asked Xuan'er, who was still tasting peach juice next to him, "Xuan'er, what's wrong with your sister?" β
Looking at the back of her sister leaving, Xuan'er cautiously leaned into Zongzi's ear: "It's not you, it's made my sister angry!" β
"What did I just say, why is she angry?"
Xuan'er tilted her head and thought about it carefully: "Hmm, it's probably because you ate and drank what your sister made for nothing." β
"Is that so?" A certain zongzi raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Believe it or not." Xuan'er wiped the water droplets from the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Brother Zongzi, you ask for more blessings!" βxh:.74.240.212
