After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 15 Sugar Fried Chestnuts
【Ding!Discover Natural Wild Matsutake Mushrooms! 】

Gu Qing's eyes lit up instantly.

Matsutake is a good thing, and it can be sold for thousands of catties in modern society.

She suppressed her eagerness, and said softly: "Yu'er, see if you can find some mushrooms, Ah Li, go and chop some firewood, Nuonuo, walk around to see if you can find some wild fruits or something, but Remember not to bully people like last time, hear?"

"Understood, Eldest Sister!"

The three immediately split up.

Gu Qing turned around, pushed aside the thorns, and walked to an old pine tree, which was full of broad-leaved shrubs. She pushed aside layers of broad leaves, and saw three or four white matsutake Grows in soft soil.

She gently dug out the matsutake, a total of five matsutake, less than a catty.

Ding!Five taels of wild matsutake fungus, worth six hundred yuan, is it for sale? 】

【Yes! 】

Gu Qing's pocket was instantly heavy.

She clicked her tongue a little. She didn't expect matsutake to be so valuable. It would be great if she could find some more.

She walked in along the bushes, and continued to find a lot of white onion mushrooms and chicken fir mushrooms, which sold for a total of 150 yuan for five or six catties.

Now, she has a total of 2460 Wen, which is more than two taels of silver.

When she was about to continue searching, she heard a loud noise not far away. She looked through the bushes and saw two women fighting over there.

One is Aunt Zhao next door, who feeds Gu Nuo the buns, and the other is Gu Cuihua, and the two are fighting over a nest of wild eggs.

Aunt Zhao grabbed Gu Cuihua's hair: "Our dog egg found the bird's egg first, so why should it belong to your family?"

Gu Cuihua grabbed Aunt Zhao's arm: "My brother climbed a tree and took it down. Of course it belongs to our family. Let me go!"

The two adults pinched each other, and the two children stared at each other.

There were six big eggs in the chicken coop on the ground, Gu Qing couldn't help but licked her lips.

She is not a foodie, but since she came to this ghost place, she has been thinking about what to eat every day. The wild eggs should taste very good... Let Gu Nuo search for it in the woods later.

She was not interested in fighting with others, and was about to retreat when something fell on her head.It fell on her bun, and Gu Qing touched her head, and a prickly ball pricked her hand.

She felt that the prickly ball was a bit familiar, so she opened it with her fingers, and was shocked, it was a chestnut.

She looked up, and saw a chestnut tree above her head, hidden among the old trees. The chestnuts in this season were wrapped in green shells, and it was impossible to see that the tree was full of chestnuts from a distance.

I was worrying about what to eat for dinner, and this food was delivered to my door.

Gu Qing hugged the tree trunk and shook it, and a large piece of chestnuts fell down.

The movement here attracted the attention of Aunt Zhao and Gu Cuihua, Aunt Zhao had sharp eyes and could see what it was at a glance.

She bent down and picked up three wild eggs from the ground: "Forget it, half of each person, no more snatching."

As she said that, she picked up the basket and dragged her dog egg to Gu Qing's direction.

Gu Cuihua hurriedly followed after wrapping the eggs.

There is not only one chestnut tree here, there are at least three or four in symbiosis, each of the three women shakes a tree, the only sound that can be heard in the forest is the rustling of leaves, and it is rare for a group of people not to quarrel or speak.

Everyone knew in their hearts that if they moved more slowly, other people would come to share the few chestnuts later.

Gu Qing picked up a whole basket, Aunt Zhao and Gu Cuihua's baskets were also full, and the movements of the three finally gradually slowed down.

At this time, another person passed by and quickly joined the chestnut-picking team.

The chestnuts in Gu Qing's hands weighed more than 20 catties, enough to last for many days, and she was not greedy for too much, so she carried the heavy bamboo basket with difficulty to join the three of them.

Along the way, she searched carefully in the woods. If she could find a large forest of wild chestnuts, then even if the taxes were heavy this year, the people in Gujia Village would not be hungry. But to her disappointment, there were only those four in this area. chestnut tree.

"Sister, this is the wild fruit I found!"

Gu Nuo handed over a handful of red prickly bubbles as if offering a treasure.

Gu Qing saw it clearly, isn't this a wild raspberry?When she was a child in her hometown, she often went up the mountain to pick raspberries with her friends in the village to eat. It has been many years in a blink of an eye, but she did not expect that there are such things here.

Gu Yu also harvested a lot, the basket was filled with mushrooms, and the group went to find Mo Li.

He was cutting firewood halfway up the mountain, and there was already a high pile of dry firewood piled up at his feet, tied together with straw ropes.

The four of them returned home with a fruitful harvest.

Going back now, it's still early and it's not time to make dinner.

Gu Qing asked the three of them to pick up the chestnuts quickly, and she was going to make a candied chestnut for the kids as a snack.

These chestnuts are not yet ripe, but are relatively tender and full of water. They are suitable for eating raw. They are peeled and washed, then cut with cross-shaped knives and steamed in a large pot.

Pour half of the lard boiled in the morning into the pot. After the oil is hot, put a lot of rock sugar into it, and boil the rock sugar into syrup.

Gu Yu watched from the side, sobbing in distress. A jar of oil can last for at least half a year, and the elder sister would give Huo Huo half of the meal. Jar of oil, that distressed yet daring look.

After the syrup was fried into brown, a large pot of chestnuts was poured into the pot, and the chestnuts were kept stirring with a spatula.

A gust of wind blew over, and the smell of chestnuts blew into the yard. Mo Li, who was busy taking a deep breath, asked, God, what is being fried in the kitchen, why is it so sweet!

Gu Nuo had already dropped the work in hand and rushed to the kitchen, swallowing hard: "Sister, the chestnuts are so fragrant!"

Gu Qing handed the spatula to Gu Yu, and the two of them took turns frying chestnuts. The big pot of chestnuts was bright in color, and the flesh at the opening turned from light yellow to golden yellow, covered with oil and sugar, making people salivate.

"Come on, Nuonuo, try one!"

Gu Qing picked up a hot chestnut from the pot and threw it over.

Gu Nuo jumped to his feet when he caught it in his hand, but he didn't care about the heat, he stretched out his hand to peel off the skin, and stuffed the steaming hot chestnuts into his mouth. It was very hot, but very fragrant, sweet and soft. Waxy, it turns out that chestnuts can be so delicious!

A large pot of chestnuts was fried and placed on the table in the main room.

At this moment, Gu Zhi stood at the gate of the yard and shouted: "Sister, grandma asked me to come and deliver chestnuts."

Gu Qing went out and saw that Gu Zhi was holding a big bowl in his hand, which was filled with cooked chestnuts, and it smelled quite fragrant.

Gu Qing took the bowl over: "Thank you, grandma, for me."

Gu Zhi didn't dare to stay longer, he came to play with Gu Nuo before, and was severely scolded by the elder sister, the person he feared most was the elder sister, after finishing what grandma told him, he turned around and ran away.

"This kid..."

Gu Qing shook her head, she was going to take some chestnuts fried in sugar for Gu Zhi to take back.

She walked into the room, grabbed a handful of chestnuts for each of the three, and waved her hand: "Gu Yu, you two go out to play, and come back for dinner in half an hour. Mo Li, go to the field and call Zhu Han and Yang Pei back."

With his mouth full of chestnuts, Gu Nuo said vaguely, "Sister, do you still have something to eat today?"

You can be full by eating chestnuts, so where is the stomach to eat?

Gu Qing put away the chestnuts on the table: "It's fine to eat this as a snack, you can't eat too much."

Gu Yu's and his two's clothes bags were full, and they nodded vigorously in satisfaction.

Since the eldest sister asked them to go out to play, let them 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 egg next door, and I could hear the sound of swallowing saliva from a long distance.

"Goudan, give us one to eat!"

"Brother Goudan, let me lick it, okay..."

Zhao Goudan stood in the middle, his pockets were full of chestnuts, he took one bite at a time, it was delicious.

The children next to me didn't have any chestnuts at home, and their saliva was drooling a lot, and their eyes were fixed on the chestnuts in their pockets.
