After lunch, Gu Qiurong began to take Xiao Yue'er to start making dried bamboo shoots.

Fortunately, when Gu Qiurong was in the 21st century, her grandmother used to be very fond of making young bamboo shoots into dried bamboo shoots, and then stored them until the New Year, and then took out the stewed chicken soup, which was not too delicious.

As soon as she thought of this, Gu Qiurong's stomach screamed very angrily, making Xiao Yue'er so amused that she couldn't be happy to peel the bamboo shoot shells on the side.

Gu Qiurong looked at the innocent and lovely little Yue'er in front of her and was very pleased, no matter what, she still had to find a way to live the moment now.

After about an hour, Gu Qiurong and Xiao Yue'er finally peeled out all the tender bamboo shoots.

Then, Gu Qiurong cut the tender bamboo shoots in half, and then cut them into small pieces.

Xiao Yue'er was taking care of the grass in the wasteland in front of the cave door, Gu Qiurong was thinking in her heart, and when she sold all these bamboo shoots, she would use some money to buy some vegetables at this time and come back to plant.

In this way, the food and clothing of the three of them will not be a problem, and if they are planted properly, they may not be able to harvest a lot of stored grain.

Gu Qiurong and Xiao Yue'er talked and laughed like this, and they did their own things.

"Xiao Rong, do you still go into the forest to break bamboo shoots?"

When Gu Qiurong heard the sound, it turned out that it was Aunt Zhang and they were carrying the basket, and it seemed that they were planning to go into the forest to break bamboo shoots again.

Gu Qiurong also replied with a snort: "I'm making dried bamboo shoots, Aunt Zhang, go by yourself." ”

When Aunt Zhang, who was standing not far away, heard the "bamboo shoots", she felt very strange. After a while, he trotted over with a basket.

Seeing that Gu Qiurong was busy like a cloud, Aunt Zhang looked puzzled, "Xiao Rong, do you really know how to make that bamboo shoot?" ”

Gu Qiurong smiled and said: "Aunt Zhang, in fact, making dried bamboo shoots is a very simple thing, but although the production is simple, whether it can be successful depends on the weather, if Aunt Zhang wants to learn it, I can also teach you how to make it." ”

"In fact, it is to boil the bamboo shoots until they are half-cooked, take them out and then pass them in cold water, then take the bamboo shoots out of the cold water, and finally spread the honey evenly on the bamboo shoots, and then put them in the sun to dry."

"If the sun is scorching like now, it is almost enough to bask in the sun for two or three days, so that the dried bamboo shoots can be stored even if they can't be eaten in a short time, and then taken out to make soup in winter, and the soup will be extremely umami."

After listening to it, Aunt Zhang instantly became interested, "Xiao Rong, it doesn't seem difficult to hear you say this, then I'll learn from you, anyway, I'm idle and have nothing to do." ”

"By the way, you just talked about honey, it just so happened that your Uncle Zhang only took a batch of honey out a few days ago, you wait~ Auntie will go home now and bring bamboo shoots and honey to come over to learn this new thing with you."

Two days later, the temperature continued to rise, and Gu Qiurong's bamboo shoots were completed.

At dinner, Gu Qiurong also deliberately made a bowl of preserved bamboo shoot soup to try the taste, and it was really the same as what her grandmother made at the beginning.

Although there is no big fish or meat in the soup, just drinking it like this already has the sweetness of honey and the umami of bamboo shoots.

Even Gu's mother, who usually has little appetite for eating, drank three more bowls of soup tonight.

"Mother, I want some silver taels, tomorrow I want to buy some things for the stall, I thought about it, if I sell dried bamboo shoots like this, it may not be convincing."

So I thought I'd buy a few pairs of chopsticks and a table tomorrow. When the time comes, I'll be boiling the soup over there, and I can ask everyone how to try it first, so that everyone can buy dried bamboo shoots with confidence. ”

"Good! No matter what you do, my mother will support you. After speaking, Gu's mother took out a slightly shabby-looking cloth bag from her arms and handed it to Gu Qiurong.

"This is my mother's life savings, you can use it for circulation."

Gu Qiurong held the money bag tightly and looked at Gu's mother with a touched face.

"Mother, I don't have much ability, so I can only help you get here."

Gu Qiurong opened the bag and saw that there were about ten taels of silver in it.

Maybe these ten taels of silver are not worth mentioning, but this is the savings that Gu's mother has lived hard for most of her life.

Gu Qiurong hugged Gu's mother who was lying on the bed tightly, "Mother, don't worry!" I will definitely let you and Xiao Yue'er live a good life! ”

Gu's mother also recognized it very much: "Okay! Mother believes that you will be able to! ”

The next day, after everything was in order, Gu Qiurong began to sell like those stall vendors.

However, seeing that half of the time had passed, let alone buying dried bamboo shoots, there was not even a person who stepped forward to ask the price.

Gu Qiurong looked at the ten taels of silver that Gu's mother gave her last night, and now it has almost been used up, if today is still like yesterday, then what face should I use to go back to face Gu's mother?

Just when Gu Qiurong felt that she was about to be cornered, suddenly a deep voice came into her ears, "Little girl, how do you sell this bamboo shoot?" ”

Gu Qiurong looked up and saw a middle-aged man dressed slightly richly in front of her.

"Little girl, your bamboo shoots are a rare item in our town, I think when I first started the dart game, I had to dart in person, at that time I took the first money I earned in my life, and the first dish I ate in the Yellow Crane Tower was this dish made of dried bamboo shoots, which seems to be called chicken and golden bamboo shoots. It tastes so good! ”

Gu Qiurong hurriedly said embarrassedly: "This bamboo shoot is twenty yuan a catty, how much do you want, uncle?" If you buy more, I can give you a discount. ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned, "Little girl, your bamboo shoots are a little expensive, these fresh bamboo shoots are only two pennies a catty, although your bamboo shoots are indeed rare in our town, but your price is really a bit high." ”

Gu Qiurong thought about doing business, it was to bargain, so she opened her mouth and asked: "Uncle, then you can tell me a price, if I can sell it, then I will sell it to you." ”

The middle-aged uncle picked up the dried bamboo shoots, smelled them, and then pulled a small point and chewed it in his mouth a few times, and then slowly said: "Reading that this bamboo shoot of yours is indeed a first-class product, I will give you ten cents a pound, how about it?" ”

When Gu Qiurong heard this, she immediately said unhappily: "Uncle, you must have eaten my bamboo shoots, I have salted them with honey, like the honey on the market now is worth one or two silver a catty, you only gave me ten cents a pound of bamboo shoots, so aren't you deliberately teasing me?" ”

"That's good, it's not easy to see your little girl come out to do business, I'll give you a maximum of fifteen cents a catty, if it's okay, I'll ask for it."

Gu Qiurong glanced at her and said, "My bamboo shoots are worth twenty yuan a catty, if you don't buy it if it's too expensive, I don't have to sell it to you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man was startled at first, and then laughed heartily: "Okay! It's a young man, and it's really like I was doing business when I was young. ”

"In this way, the chicken and golden bamboo shoots I just mentioned, if you can make a taste that satisfies me, then I will buy all these bamboo shoots of yours at a price of 20 yuan, if you can't make it, you have to sell it to me at the price I offered, how about it?"

Gu Qiurong touched the money bag, and then said with an indifferent face: "Yes, yes, but I don't have any extra money to buy chicken breasts." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked Gu Qiuyue up and down, feeling that she didn't look like someone who could afford chicken at will.

"Okay, seeing that it's almost noon, let's do it, except for the dried bamboo shoots, I will buy all the other ingredients, if you make the taste in my heart, I will invite the girl to cook for my father's birthday banquet in a few days."

When Gu Qiurong heard this, she exclaimed in her heart: "This is a rare big deal." ”

In an instant, Gu Qiurong's attitude was much softer, "Okay, then we'll make a decision!" ”

The middle-aged man also said very happily: "Okay! A manly man, he will definitely be a word! ”
