015 Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar
γDing! Discover natural wild matsutake mushrooms! γ
Gu Qing's eyes lit up instantly.
Matsutake mushrooms are a good thing, and they can be sold for thousands of pounds in modern society.
She suppressed her eagerness and said lightly: "Yu'er, let's see if you can find some mushrooms, Ah Li, you go chop some wood, Nuonuo, you walk around and see if you can find some wild fruits or something, but you remember that you can't bully people like last time, do you hear?" β
"Got it, eldest sister!"
The three of them immediately went their separate ways.
Gu Qing turned around, peeled off the thorns, and walked under an old pine tree, which was full of broad-leaved shrubs, she pushed aside the broad-leaved leaves layer by layer, and saw three or four white matsutake mushrooms growing in the soft soil.
She gently scooped out the matsutake mushrooms, a total of five matsutake mushrooms, less than a catty.
Bite! Five taels of wild matsutake mushrooms in the sky, worth 600 yuan, are they sold? γ
γYes!γ γ
Gu Qing's pocket instantly heavily.
She was a little smacked, she didn't expect matsutake mushrooms to be so valuable, if only she could find some more.
She walked along the bushes and continued to find a lot of white onion mushrooms and chicken fir mushrooms, which were sold for a total of 150 yuan for five or six catties.
Now, she has a total of 2,460 wen yuan in her hand, that is, more than two taels of silver.
She was about to continue her search when she heard a commotion not far away, and she looked aside at the bushes and saw two women fighting over there.
One is Aunt Zhao next door who gave Gu Nuo a nest to eat, and the other is Gu Cuihua, and the two are fighting there for a nest of wild eggs.
Aunt Zhao grabbed Gu Cuihua's hair: "The bird eggs were discovered first by our dog's eggs, why did they belong to your family?" β
Gu Cuihua grabbed Aunt Zhao's arm: "This is my younger brother who climbed a tree and took it down, of course it belongs to our family, you let me go!" β
The two adults pinched each other, and the two babies were also staring at each other.
There were six big eggs in the chicken nest on the ground, and Gu Qing couldn't help licking her lips.
She's not a foodie, but since she came to this hellish place, she thinks about what to eat every day, and wild eggs should taste very good...... Go back and let Gu Nuo, this kid, look in the woods.
She had no interest in other people's fights, and was about to retreat when something suddenly fell on top of her head. Gu Qing touched her head, and a stabbing ball pierced her hand.
She felt that this thorn ball ball was a little familiar, and she broke it with her fingers, and was immediately shocked, it was a chestnut.
When she looked up, she saw a chestnut tree overhead, hidden among the old trees, the chestnuts of this season wrapped in a green shell, and it was impossible to see that the tree was full of chestnuts from a distance.
I was worried about what to eat at night, so this food was delivered to my door.
Gu Qing hugged the trunk of the tree and shook it, and a large piece of chestnuts fell down.
The movement here attracted the attention of Aunt Zhao and Gu Cuihua on the periphery, and Aunt Zhao's eyes were sharp, and she could see what it was at a glance.
She bent down and picked up three wild eggs from the ground: "Forget it, one person and half, don't grab it again." β
As she spoke, she picked up the basket and dragged her dog in the direction of Gu Qing.
Gu Cuihua wrapped the bird's eggs and hurriedly followed.
There was not only one chestnut tree here, but at least three or four of them, and each of the three women shook a tree, and only the rustling of leaves could be heard in the forest, and it was rare for a group of people not to quarrel or speak.
Everyone knows in their hearts that if the action is slow, others will come to divide this small chestnut later.
Gu Qing picked up a whole back basket, Aunt Zhao and Gu Cuihua's back baskets were also full, and the movements of the three of them finally slowed down.
At this time, someone passed by and quickly joined the team of chestnut pickers.
Gu Qing had more than 20 catties of chestnuts in her hand, enough to eat for many days, and she was not greedy, so she carried a heavy bamboo basket to meet the three of them with difficulty.
Along the way, she searched carefully in the forest, and if she could find a large wild chestnut forest, then even if the tax was heavy this year, the people of Gujia Village would not go hungry, but to her disappointment, there were only four chestnut trees in this area.
"Eldest sister, this is the wild fruit I found!"
Gu Nuo handed over a handful of red thorn bubbles like a treasure.
Gu Qing saw clearly, isn't this a wild raspberry? When she was a child in her hometown, she often followed her friends in the village to pick raspberries and eat them.
Gu Yu also gained a lot, the back basket was full of mushrooms, and the group went to find Mo Li.
He was halfway up the mountain chopping wood, and at his feet he had piled up a high pile of dry firewood, tied together with straw ropes.
The four of them went home with a lot of gains.
When I went back at this time, it was still early, and it was not yet time to make dinner.
Gu Qing asked the three of them to quickly pick up the chestnuts, and she was going to make a sugar-fried chestnut for a few boys to eat as a snack.
These chestnuts are not fully ripe, they are relatively tender, they are well watered, and they are suitable for eating raw, so they are peeled and washed, then cut into a cross knife and steamed in a large pot.
Half of the lard boiled in the morning is poured into the pot, and when the oil is hot, a large handful of rock sugar is put into it, and the rock sugar is boiled into syrup.
Gu Yu watched from the side, snorting in distress, a jar of oil, you can eat it for at least half a year, the eldest sister will give Huo Huo half of it, she can think of waiting for Brother Zhu to go home to cook, and see that there is only half a jar of oil left, the distressed and dare not say anything.
After the syrup is browned, a large pot of chestnuts is poured into the pan, stir-fried with a spatula, the high heat is changed to low heat, and the chestnuts slowly change color.
A gust of wind blew through, the fragrance of chestnuts blew into the yard, and Mo Li, who was busy working, took a breath hard, God, what is being fried in the stove room, why is it so sweet!
Gu Nuo had already thrown down the work in his hand and rushed to the stove room, and swallowed his saliva fiercely: "Eldest sister, the chestnuts are so fragrant!" β
Gu Qing gave the spatula to Gu Yu, and the two took turns to fry the chestnuts, a large pot of chestnuts was bright in color, and the flesh at the opening turned yellow, wrapped in oil and sugar, which made people salivate.
"Here, Nono, try one!"
Gu Qing picked up a hot chestnut from the pot and threw it over.
Gu Nuo jumped straight to his feet when he was hot in his hand, but he didn't care about the heat, he reached out and peeled off the skin, and stuffed the steaming hot chestnuts into his mouth, it was very hot, but it was very fragrant, very sweet, very soft and glutinous, it turned out that chestnuts could still be so delicious!
A large pot of chestnuts was stir-fried and placed on the table in the hall.
At this moment, Gu Zhi stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted, "Sister Lobby, Grandma asked me to come over to deliver chestnuts." β
Gu Qing walked out and saw Gu Zhi holding a big bowl in his hand, the bowl was full of cooked chestnuts, and it smelled quite fragrant.
Gu Qing took the bowl over: "Thank you for me, grandma." β
Gu Zhi didn't dare to stay longer, he used to come to Gu Nuo to play, and was scolded by his cousin, the person he was most afraid of was the lobby sister, after finishing the things that grandma had explained, he turned around and ran away.
"This kid ......"
Gu Qing shook her head, she was also going to take some sugar and fry chestnuts for Gu Zhi to take back.
She walked into the house, grabbed a large handful of chestnuts for each of the three of them, waved her hand and said, "Gu Yu, you two go out to play, and come back to eat in half an hour." Mo left you to go to the field and call Zhu Han and Yang Pei back. β
Gu Nuo's mouth was stuffed with chestnuts, and he said vaguely: "Eldest sister, do you still have food today?" β
If you eat chestnuts, you can eat enough, where is there still a stomach to eat?
Gu Qing put away the chestnuts on the table: "This thing can be eaten as a snack, you can't eat more." β
Gu Yu's clothes bags were full, and the two nodded vigorously with satisfaction.
Since the eldest sister asked them to go out to play, then they should go out to play.
As soon as I walked under the big locust tree in the village, I saw a large group of friends surrounding the dog next door, and the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard from afar.
"Dog, you give us one to eat!"
"Brother Dog, let me lick it......"
Zhao Goudan stood in the middle, his pockets were full of chestnuts, he ate one bite at a time, and the food was delicious.
There were no chestnuts at home for the children on the side, and a lot of saliva flowed, and their eyes were staring directly at the chestnuts in the dog's pocket.
