Gu Beihuai saw that a few people were eating, and then looked at the steamed buns and hot sauce on the table, and was curious for a while, put the radish on the ground, wiped his hands casually, then grabbed the steamed bun and dipped it in the hot sauce, and took a bite.

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" but unexpectedly ate too quickly, and choked, coughing so much that his eyes were full of tears.

Gu Nansang hurriedly patted him on the back and handed him a bowl of water.

Gu Beihuai drank it dry in one go, and then stuck out his tongue and said, "This ...... What is it? Delicious is delicious, but tongue headache. ”

"It's called chili sauce." Gu Nansang smiled: "You have never eaten it, you have to be slower." ”

Xu Shi pointed to the radishes on the ground and asked, "Beihuai, what are you doing with these radishes?" ”

"That's what I want." Gu Nansang said: "Mother, you just rest, when I'm ready, bring it again, you just have to eat." ”

Seeing that she was busy and organized, Xu Shi laughed, but no longer followed her into the kitchen, dispelled the idea of helping, and turned around to carry a bucket to the backyard to fertilize.

Gu Nansang shredded the washed radish, put in peppercorns, melted starch sugar, salt, cooked oil, and fried peanuts, and put them aside to marinate to taste.

The previous noodles had already been made, Gu Nansang took them out and kneaded them to exhaust the air, then divided the dough into small agents, poured a layer of cooked oil into a large basin, and then flattened the agents and put them in.

When the noodles are covered with oil, take them out, roll them out with a rolling pin, put in a chopstick to marinate the flavored radish filling, roll them from this end, fold them left and right along the opposite corners of the dough sheet, and finally press them into a circle.

After making a few, heat the pot over low heat, because the dough is already soaked in oil, so you don't need to put it again. Then put the turnip cake in it, fry it until it is set, and then gently press it with a spatula and turn it over. After the other side is shaped, stand it with chopsticks and sear the edges.

At the end, the cake is golden on both sides, slightly burnt, and exudes a sparkling oily shine, which is very beautiful.

Gu Nansang shoveled up the cakes one by one and finished all the remaining ingredients.

All the cakes were placed in a dustpan and covered with a piece of clean gauze, Gu Nansang wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead and beckoned a few people to eat.

The crispy and soft skin is sweet and juicy radish after biting, and occasionally you can eat one or two peanuts, which is crispy and refreshing.

"Dip some more hot sauce." Gu Nansang pushed the bowl over.

With spicy sauce, it has a different flavor, and the first bite of sweet radish cake has also become bland, this light and thick combination seems simple, but it is the most appropriate.

"Now I don't have a lot of things at hand, so I can only try my hand with turnip cake first." Gu Nansang said: "It's just that this hot sauce has to be prepared well, and we will make a name for it in the future, and this is the signboard." ”

Xu Shi laughed: "You haven't gone out yet, how do you know that you will be famous?" ”

Gu Dongqing's expression was a little more serious, he took a bite of the radish cake dipped in sauce, and said, "I think that Nansang is a very good idea, maybe it can change our family's predicament." ”

"What is not a predicament, my mother doesn't feel it." Xu sighed lightly, touched Gu Beihuai's head, and said, "As long as our family is together with Hemei, it is stronger than anything else." ”

She said, a little lonely between her eyebrows.

Gu Nansang and Gu Dongqing glanced at each other, knowing that their mother remembered Gu Congzhi, and the two were not easy to talk to, Gu Dongqing took the incense candle paper money, Gu Nan sauna basket filled the radish cake and the Youth League, and the family went to Gu Congzhi's cemetery to worship.

A drizzle fell on the afternoon of Qingming Day, lingering in the fields, the leaves on the back hill glowed with new green colors, and the vegetable garden in the backyard of the Gu family was also fresh.

The next day, Gu Dongqing and Gu Nansang packed up, and Gu Beihuai also changed his clothes and went out with them.

Xu Shi took care of it at home, handed them a few pancakes, and said, "It rained yesterday, and the ground was slippery, come back early." ”

She also wanted to tell a few words, if she couldn't sell it, let a few children give up early, but Gu Beihuai seemed to be aware of Xu's intentions, so she hurriedly hugged the pancakes in her arms and responded crisply: "Got it, mother, go back to the house!" ”

So they went to the city.

Gu Dongqing picked up a pair of baskets, put a charcoal basin on the right, put a few pieces of charcoal that were lit, and put hot sauce and radish cakes on the left. Gu Nansang carried a small bamboo basket with washed lotus leaves in it and a small money bag hanging from his waist. The group of three people talked and laughed, and soon arrived at Anping City.

Gu Nansang chose the position to sell cherries that day, paid the rent of two cents, and started to set up a stall to do business.

Gu Dongqing did a psychological construction on the side, thinking that it was the little sister who took the initiative to shout that day to attract business, and he wanted to take the lead as a big brother today.

was about to speak, but saw Gu Nansang count a few copper plates for Gu Beihuai, and whispered in his ear for a while, Gu Beihuai smiled and squinted, nodded in a hurry, took the copper coin and ran out.

"Nansang?" Gu Dongqing didn't know what the two siblings were doing, so he couldn't help but be curious.

"Brother, wait a minute." Gu Nansang smiled and sold it.

Soon, there were more pedestrians on the road, and there were many people who came to buy, passing by Gu Nansang's stall, there were a few people who bought radish cakes, but none of them were dipped in hot sauce. Gu Dongqing couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, worried that the little sister would be emotional, but looking at her, she was the appearance of the old god, smiling and welcoming people, and she didn't care if others didn't want hot sauce.

About a stick of incense, Gu Beihuai came back, and with him, there was a group of children wearing brocade clothes, the eldest was only eleven or twelve years old, and the younger one was seven or eight years old.

One of them looked at Gu Nansang's stall, his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "This, isn't this a hot sauce from the north?" ”

Another person answered: "Yes, brother, we ate in Youzhou a year ago, and I have been thinking about it, I don't want to meet it today!" ”

"What you said is true, then I will buy a jar today and take it home for my mother to taste!"

As they spoke, soon one of them had a radish cake in his hand, and they were vying to dip it in the hot sauce, which was not lively for a while.

Gu Beihuai cleared his throat on the side, sank his dantian, and shouted loudly: "Sell radish cakes!" Freshly baked radish cake, and the ancestral secret recipe chili sauce! Opened today, the original price is two pennies, and today it only costs three pennies two! ”

Passers-by had never seen hot sauce before, they all felt curious, and when they heard the discussion of this group of young men in Chinese clothes, they all felt fresh for a while, and Gu Beihuai said that there was a discount, so they were eager to try, and soon someone came forward to ask.

Gu Nansang quickly took out the lotus leaf with his hands and feet, and asked the other party whether it was hot or cold, and whether it was dipped in sauce. She is young, her facial features are good, and she has a different aura when she laughs, which makes people feel kind.

Gu Nansang took advantage of this and quickly packed the radish cake, and bought a lot and gave a small packet of hot sauce, which made people go back happily.

Gu Dongqing watched the movements of the two sisters and brothers, quickly understood, couldn't help laughing, and was busy at the moment, helping to pack, and letting Gu Nansang collect the money alone.

They brought a basket full of radish cakes, but they sold them out in an hour (two hours), which greatly surprised Gu Dongqing's expectations. looked at Gu Nansang again, but he didn't look very surprised, and he just counted the money happily.

Until the last guest was sent away, Gu Nansang announced the closure of the stall, and told those who were still watching with a smile that they would be early tomorrow.

Gu Dongqing packed up the picks, Gu Nansang put a small basket on his back, and smiled at Gu Beihuai: "You did a good job today, I also received some radish cakes, you can take them and share them." He said that he had worked hard today, and invited them to eat. ”

Gu Beihuai responded and ran out with a smile.

"Nansan, who are they?" Gu Dongqing frowned slightly, he had already guessed something.

Gu Nansang didn't hide it, walked to the mouth of the alley where there were few people, sighed slightly, and said, "Big brother, what Beihuai brought was the people of the troupe, and the clothes they wore were also costumes. Today, our business is booming, and we rely on them to help. ”

"Gu Nansang." Gu Dongqing's face straightened, he had always been gentle to his little sister, he rarely made a straight face, he said solemnly: "Our things are not stolen or robbed, they are clean, if others believe it, they will naturally come to buy it." It's just today, this kind of small means, but it can't be used again in the future! ”

Gu Nansang secretly stuck out his tongue and begged for mercy: "Brother, I also have to do it as a last resort, as you said, our things are clean, and all that is missing is a little publicity." We'll come back tomorrow, and the custody business is booming, so we don't need to use these methods anymore. ”

Gu Dongqing looked at her seriously for a long time, sighed, and said, "Now our family is poor, and our businessmen are indecent, but the eldest brother does not feel inferior to others. It's just that you have to put yourself in a good position, don't have crooked thoughts, and you can't have an excuse to think crookedly because of poverty. ”

Gu Nansang also knew that it was difficult for a strong man to instill modern consciousness with the ancients. But Gu Dongqing's consciousness is very good, and she has to admit that this is also a way of doing business. With her status as a woman, her family will definitely prevent her from coming out to buy things again in the future, if Gu Dongqing has long-term considerations for doing business, it is very good.

She didn't say much at the moment, she looked humbly teachable on her face, and nodded in response.

Gu Dongqing's face softened slightly, and he was worried that his tone was serious, so he said, "The stall closes early today, do you want to go to the city for a walk?" ”

It just so happened that Gu Beihuai came back, and when he heard that he was going to go shopping, he was so happy that he couldn't do it, so he couldn't cope with it, and ran away with Gu Nansang.

After the three of them bought a good use, there happened to be an ox cart at the city gate, so they got into the cart and still came down at the entrance of the village.

"Brother, I want to go to the back mountain." Gu Nansang stopped and said, "Last time we picked Mr. Zhong's chili seedlings, today we have a good business, I also received a small package of radish cakes, I want to thank him." ”

Gu Dongqing bowed his head: "The last time you got sick, it was thanks to him that he prescribed medicine, so you should be grateful." ”

He took the basket on Gu Nansang's shoulder, and said to Gu Beihuai: "You go with your sister, don't be naughty." ”

"Got it!"

The two siblings went to the back mountain.

The road back to the mountain was difficult, Gu Nansang finally climbed the slope, found the thatched hut on the barren mountain, knocked on the door for a long time, but found that Zhong Sheng was not at home at night.

Gu Nansang sighed: "Forget it, let's come back tomorrow." ”

Gu Beihuai nodded, and laughed slyly: "Sister, let's go to the back mountain to dig out the bird's nest!" ”

"......" Gu Nansang glanced at him, turned around and walked down the mountain.

"Sister, why don't you go? Didn't you like it before? Gu Beihuai didn't give up, walking backwards, while holding Gu Nansang's hand and begging.

"No, I still have to go back to get down to business, and tomorrow's turnip cake will ......"

"Ahh

"Beihuai be careful!"

Gu Nansang's heart jumped, and he hurriedly grabbed Gu Beihuai, who was about to roll towards the grass, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Walk well!" ”

"Ahh Sister, look! Gu Beihuai was startled, his face was pale, his fingers trembled and pointed to the side, and he stammered: "Yes...... There are dead people! ”

Zhou Qingxiao, who pretended to be unconscious: "......"

He originally followed the clues here, and then broke the traces, and saw that he was going to consume the other party for a long time, but he didn't have a passable identity to gain a firm foothold, which inevitably aroused suspicion, so he made this decision. As a result, the girl among the two turned out to be the one he saw in Anping City last time, the person who sold cherries, and he couldn't help but feel that it was a coincidence.

Gu Nansang frowned, she pulled Gu Beihuai behind her, walked to Zhou Qingxiao's side, stretched out her hand, and probed his breathing.

"Alive." She breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Gu Beihuai and said, "Let's go." ”

Zhou Qingxiao: "......"

"Huh?" Gu Beihuai was surprised, looked at Zhou Qingxiao carefully, and saw that his clothes were in tatters, but there was no injury on his body, but the corners of his mouth were a little chapped and peeling, and he seemed to have just fainted.

"Shall we just go like this? Leave him alone? Gu Beihuai looked at his sister and whispered, "We're ...... Does it count, if you don't save you when you die? ”

"Do you see he's dead?" Gu Nansang raised his eyebrows and said.

"Nope." Gu Beihuai shook his head.

"Do we have any food left over at home?"

Gu Beihuai continued to shake his head.

"That's not the end of it." Gu Nansang touched his younger brother's head and said, "He will leave when he wakes up, we can't control this kind of thing." ”

Gu Beihuai was still very hesitant, remembering what his father said about being kind to others, and fighting with heaven and man in his heart.

Kindness is a good thing, but you must also do what you can, otherwise saving others will not harm yourself.

Gu Nansang thought so and wanted to educate him like this, but looking at Gu Beihuai's tangled face, his heart softened.

He was still a child, and it was good to have such kindness.

Gu Nansang didn't know, she was still thinking about it, but Zhou Qingxiao couldn't wait, he pretended to mumble and woke up slowly.

"You ...... Who is it? "His voice is clear, and he has a sense of beauty that is unique to a teenager.

Gu Nansang's face did not change: "Who are you?" ”

Zhou Qingxiao blinked, and his moist eyes were full of water: "I...... I do not know. ”

Gu Nansang: "......"
