The three of them went home separately, and Gu Nansang went to Wu Cuihua's house again, bought two fish from their lotus pond, and received a few large tomatoes by the way, as well as the mushrooms that Wang Juanzi picked on the mountain.

Wu Cuihua and the Xu family have always had a good relationship, and Gu Nansang was not polite to her, thinking that tomorrow she would let Gu Beihuai send some pastries to eat, and she would be a gift.

She went home and was relieved to find a few large turnips from the cellar.

Then beckoned Zhou Qingxiao and Gu Beihuai to come out to help.

There were a lot of ingredients in the yard, Gu Nansang knew that neither of them liked offal, so he didn't say anything, he moved a small stool and sat in the corner, took a pair of scissors and began to clean the intestines, gizzards, hearts and other things of chickens and ducks.

Zhou Qingxiao and Gu Beihuai helped wash the vegetables, pork, and fish.

Not long after, Mu Yao also came, and brought a few catties of beef and a chicken.

Gu Nansang thanked him, sent Gu Beihuai to get money to send off the guests, and moved all the cleaned ingredients to the kitchen by himself, and called Zhou Qingxiao to light the fire.

By the time all the ingredients were cleared and roughly watered, the sky was already dark.

Gu Nansang rubbed his sore waist, prepared dinner for the whole family, and said at the dinner table that he was going to go to the temple fair to set up a stall.

Xu always thought at the beginning that his youngest daughter was still young and couldn't do anything big. Now that she sells radish cakes, she can support her family's pocket money, and she is already impressed by Gu Nansang, and she supports whatever the little girl is doing now.

It was Gu Dongqing, he had more concerns, he said: "Although there are many people at the temple fair, if something happens, I'm worried that you won't be able to deal with it, I'll go with you." ”

Gu Nansang thought for a moment and nodded: "It's okay, the family is busy planting seedlings, brother, you and I can go for a day." The temple fair will be held for five days in a row, and there will be my cousin and Brother Mu Yao in the next few days, so there will be no mistakes. ”

Gu Dongqing agreed.

"And me, and me!" Gu Beihuai waved his hand excitedly: "Don't forget me all the time, I am also a man, I can protect my sister!" ”

The whole family laughed.

Next, the Gu family was busy planting rice, and Gu Nansang didn't go to the city to set up a stall to sell radish cakes, and was busy cooking and cooking the vegetable garden in the backyard for the past two days. After preparing the meal every day, Gu Beihuai sent it to the Xu, Gu Dongqing, and Zhou Qingxiao in the field. When I got up early and felt dark, the seedlings of the Gu family were almost planted, and they were only the last thing to finish.

That night, Gu Nansang prepared the materials needed for tomorrow's temple fair.

Cut the pork bones and pork fat into cubes, add tomatoes and mushrooms to boil the soup, add peppercorns, green onions, ginger slices, star anise, salt and sugar to taste.

Use a bamboo skewer to skewer the chicken and duck internal organs that have been boiled in water, chop the lean pork, beef, and fish meat separately, and knead them into balls after adding starch, and after simple seasoning, they are also boiled in water to set the shape, and wear into the bamboo skewers. Lotus roots, potatoes, kelp, and radish are all sliced, and soaked in salt water after being threaded into bamboo skewers to prevent discoloration.

With so many bamboo slices used, Gu Nansang asked Zhou Qingxiao to cut down the bamboo, make it a little bit by himself, and then scald it with hot water to remove the dander barbs.

After doing all this, it was already the middle of the moon, and the Gu family had been busy for a long time, and the Xu family and they all rested.

Gu Nansang yawned, stretched, rubbed his neck and walked to the backyard.

"Nansang, are you done?" Someone suddenly spoke outside the door.

Gu Nansang was a little surprised: "You still haven't slept yet?" ”

Zhou Qingxiao smiled slightly, put a clean cloth towel in her hand, and said, "I got hot water in the backyard, you have been busy all day, take a bath and then sleep." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the west chamber.

Gu Nansang held the cloth towel in his hand and was slightly stunned.

…………

Early the next morning, before dawn, the Gu family was already busy lighting the lights.

Only a small amount of radish cake was prepared, mainly bamboo skewers, with these, the picks became heavy, fortunately there was Mu Yao's carriage, otherwise it would really have to rely on manpower to walk over, I don't know how many hours.

The Xu family was at home alone, and Gu Nansang and Mu Yao took a car together and rushed to Half Moon Mountain.

When we arrived at Half Moon Mountain, although the sky was not yet fully lit, there was already an endless stream of people setting up stalls around, and many vendors had already taken up their positions. Gu Nansang and the others were not too late, they actually looked around, and only found a vacant seat in the corner.

Gu Nansang didn't care about choosing a good location anymore, he didn't even have this location when he was late, not to mention that the tourists were coming.

She hurriedly asked Gu Dongqing and Zhou Qingxiao to set up the stall.

The soup stock that had been boiled with pork bones and other materials before was heated by a small charcoal stove, and Gu Nansang put a small pot next to it, which was also stock, but mixed with chili sauce and garlic paste to make a spicy red soup.

Some of the ingredients skewered with bamboo skewers are also put in the pot and cooked, and if anyone wants to eat spicy food, they only need to take it out and dip it in a small basin. This spicy taste is not choking, Gu Nansang is spicy, taking into account the people's feelings, the amount of chili has been reduced.

In this way, the market gradually became lively.

The Gu family's stall attracted many inquiries because of the fragrance and novel shape.

Zhou Qingxiao was pushed to the front by Gu Nansang to welcome the guests.

Today, when I came to worship the Buddha or came for sightseeing, there were not only women, but also girls who had not yet left the pavilion, Zhou Qingxiao's hairstyle today was still designed by Gu Nansang, and he specially tied it up with a hairband and tied it on the top of his head, revealing his delicate and heroic facial features.

"Little Housheng, what are you?" An aunt came over and asked.

Gu Nansang stood up all of a sudden, and said with a smile: "Hello auntie, this is called oden, made of pork bones and chicken bones, plus dozens of exclusive secret seasonings, the soup is delicious, you like it!" ”

As she spoke, she pushed away the skewers in the pot and handed her aunt a string of fish balls: "Vegetarian skewers cost one penny, meat skewers cost two pennies, there are red soup and clear soup." This one gives you a free tasting! ”

"Sounds okay." The aunt took it and tasted it, her eyes lit up, she asked for some lotus roots, potatoes, and a small amount of meatball skewers, a total of ten cents, and left with a smile.

The lotus leaves that Gu Nansang used to pack were still lotus leaves, but this time they were washed and dried, which was more flexible than fresh lotus leaves. But it's not a long-term solution, after all, there will be no lotus leaves in the future, and you have to find something to replace.

There are still relatively few people who are as generous as that aunt, after all, you can buy a liter of rice for ten cents. However, with the first customer, coupled with the good façade of Zhou Qingxiao, there is an endless stream of customers who come to inquire.

Gu Nansang and Gu Dongqing were in a hurry, and Mu Yao was helping by the side, but they were a little too busy.

"There are really a lot of people at the temple fair." Gu Nansang wiped the sweat from his forehead, sent the last customer away, and said with a smile: "I didn't prepare well today, I brought less things, so I need to prepare more tomorrow." ”

Gu Dongqing didn't expect that the intestines of chickens and ducks, as well as chicken hearts and duck livers, could also be used as meat dishes, and they sold so well that he didn't know what to say for a while.

And Mu Yao's side, because the Gu family's stall was doing well, even the three roast chickens and two roast rabbits he brought were sold out.

Several people had sweat on their faces, looked at each other, and laughed.

A rare good harvest.

By the time the stalls were cleaned up and the carriages tied, it was still early, not yet noon.

The happiest was Gu Beihuai, who almost jumped up with both hands: "Big brother, sister, can I go to the temple fair!" ”

Gu Dongqing smiled helplessly, patted his head, and gave him two copper plates: "Let's go, I'll take you there." ”

It is indeed difficult to move around together with a large number of people, and the people in the market come and go, so they accidentally get separated, so everyone agreed to meet at the foot of the mountain an hour later, and they went their separate ways.

Mu Yao watched Gu Dongqing take Gu Beihuai away, and there was a rare smile on his face: "I'm going to Baiyue Temple to offer incense, there are many people, you should be careful." ”

"Okay, there you go." Gu Nansang nodded.

"Cousin, where do you want to go?" Zhou Qingxiao leaned under the tree, with long eyebrows and sideburns, his peach blossom eyes slightly upturned with a smile, a romantic and affectionate appearance, and a young man's unique clarity and uninhibitedness, which was very eye-catching.

Gu Nansang's heart was like water, he grabbed a handful of copper plates from the money bag, handed it to Zhou Qingxiao, and said, "I'll go around casually, I haven't thought about where to go, you can go and see it too." ”

After coming to Gu's house for so long, Gu Nansang gave him a good look for the first time and gave him pocket money.

Zhou Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, laughed, waved his hand and said, "I am well fed and warmly clothed at home, and I don't need money, so I can keep it to buy rice and noodles." ”

Gu Nansang glanced at him hesitantly, pouted, and said, "Just take it for you, there is so much nonsense." ”

"Okay, thank you cousin then." Zhou Qingxiao took it with a smile and put it in his arms.

Gu Nansang shook his head: "It's the reward for selling your hue today." ”

"......" Zhou Qingxiao touched his nose, feeling helpless.

"The system prompts, please go to the Half Moon Nunnery to get the Youlian Pendant." The system suddenly spoke.

There is a temple on the east side of the mountain called Hakugetsu-ji Temple, and there is a temple on the west side called the temple. Believers generally go to Hanwol-an more often, but Hakugetsu Temple is more visited by men and women.

Gu Nansang glanced at Zhou Qingxiao, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm going to the Half Moon Nunnery to make incense." If you were to go separately from me, would you lose your memory again and find no way back? ”

"Cousin, where are you going, I want to protect you." Zhou Qingxiao blinked, selectively ignored the pickiness in her words, and said with a smile: "I heard my cousin say that you rescued the two young ladies in Anping City a few days ago, and you met the robbers near Half Moon Mountain. It doesn't seem to be very peaceful here, and I can't leave you alone. ”

Although he looked unreliable, it made sense, Gu Nansang thought about it and set off with him.

The two walked together, which was quite funny.

Zhou Qingxiao is the same age as Gu Dongqing, but he is very tall, and he is not worse than ordinary adult men. The Gu family was poor, and Gu Nansang rarely ate supplements in the past, so his body was stunted, and now he only went to the crook of Zhou Qingxiao's arm.

Zhou Qingxiao saw it, and laughed secretly, saying in his heart that this strong little girl looked so weak.

Who knew that Gu Nansang felt something, and sneered: "Cousin, look at the back, maybe others think you are my cousin." ”

"......" Zhou Qingxiao had mixed feelings.

Did he take advantage of it, or was he taken a beating?
