After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 16 Sorrow
Today, many people eat chestnuts at home, and Lizheng's husband and son-in-law also picked up a lot on the mountain. Gu Jinyu, the eldest granddaughter of Lizheng's family, walked with a bowl while eating.

The children surrounded by loach here immediately surrounded Gu Jinyu.

Gu Jinyu was quite generous: "I don't have much of myself, you have half a person."

There were a total of six children around, and she divided three out. Each of the six children bit half of it, with a satisfied expression on their faces: "Sister Jinyu, the chestnuts cooked by your grandma are delicious!"

Gu Jinyu raised her chin: "This is cooked by my mother, and my mother's cooking is the best!"

Zhao Goudan said unconvinced: "My mother cooks the best!"

"Get out of the way!" Gu Yu and the two squeezed in, "My elder sister's cooking is the best!"

Among these children, there was a smarter one named Shugen. He rolled his eyes and said, "We only ate sister Jin Yu's. Anyway, Jin Yuniang's cooking must be the best!"

The five children next to him echoed.

Zhao Goudan immediately handed over his chestnuts: "Then hurry up and eat what my mother made!"

Gu Yu's movements were also quick: "There are also chestnuts made by my eldest sister, you guys try it!"

A large pile of chestnuts was handed over, and the eyes of the six children gleamed, and they all swallowed them whole, but they could tell which was the tastiest.

Six pairs of eyes stared straight at Gu Yu.

The tree root swallowed: "Gu Yu, isn't your eldest sister only able to drink, gamble and rob men? How can she make such delicious chestnuts?"

"My elder sister doesn't drink or gamble!" Gu Nuo lifted her chin and said proudly, "My elder sister is the best elder sister in the world!"

The sweet smell of chestnuts floated in the air.

Goudan swallowed and followed behind Gu Yu: "Sister Yu'er, give me another one..."

There were only the last two left in Gu Yu's hand, she hesitated again and again, Gu Nuo picked up a chestnut and handed it over, took Gu Yu's hand, turned around and ran home, fearing that she would be caught and asked for the remaining candied chestnuts Walk.

Goudan took this chestnut and was reluctant to eat it, so he took it home and handed it to his mother, Aunt Zhao: "This is a chestnut made by elder sister Gu Yu, mother, can you make it like this?"

As soon as Aunt Zhao inhaled, she could smell the sweet and greasy fragrance. She picked up the chestnut, took a sip, and immediately scolded: "What a prodigal woman, you add oil to stir-fry chestnuts, and even put sugar in it. Those few at home A copper coin is not enough for her to waste! I just care about what I eat right now, and I don’t even think about what I will eat tomorrow! Ahh, it’s no wonder that Mrs. Gu looks down on this eldest granddaughter..."

The scolding spread to Gu Qing's ears next door.

She was cutting and folding the ears. In the morning, Gu Yu and the others picked two baskets of ears and came back. She picked the tenderest roots and planned to make a cold salad to eat later. The rest were left to dry in the yard. The aunt scolded her, but the work under her hand still didn't stop.

Yuan was not very popular in the village, and there were too many people who spoke ill of her behind her back. She would be too busy to scold them one by one.

She didn't respond, but Yang Pei got angry, and rushed out with the ax for chopping wood in his hand: "Aunt Zhao, what did you just say?"

Aunt Zhao was taken aback: "What's the matter with you, melon boy? My aunt treats you well, but your wife patronizes me to drink and gamble. When did she take care of you guys..."

She really treats the Gu family well. When the harvest was good a few years ago, she stuffed buckwheat buns from time to time. In the past two years, when the crops were not good, she would secretly stuff stuffed buns or something. The ax had already hit the firewood at Aunt Zhao's feet.

Holding the axe, he only felt that Aunt Zhao was very annoying today, and said angrily: "The lady is very kind to us, the chestnuts were picked up by the lady herself and fried for us to eat, otherwise Yu'er would have nothing extra for your dog eggs! "

"Brother Yang, get some firewood and go to the kitchen!"

Gu Qing yelled, and Yang Pei immediately ran in and moved the chopped dry firewood to the kitchen.

Aunt Zhao stood at the door with a suspicious expression on her face. In the past, these people had a bad relationship with Mrs. Gu. She scolded that woman in front of them, and they never responded. Today, Yang Pei, that bastard, still wants to Hit her with an axe!
Goudan said from the side: "Gu Yu and the others put twenty or thirty chestnuts in their pockets, much more than mine..."

Aunt Zhao slapped him on the back of the head: "It's not bad for you to eat, if you don't like it, get out and chop firewood!"

She glanced at the yard next door in disbelief. Gu Qing was squatting on the ground picking out the ears, Yang Pei came out of the kitchen and continued to hold firewood, and Mo Li was carrying water back from the outside... Ever since the husbands-in-law came in, This Mrs. Gu has never done any work before, this is really the sun coming out from the west.

Zhu Han was cooking in the kitchen. He felt that a few chestnuts per person could serve as a meal at night, but the owner said that he must eat the staple food, and he would have the strength to work when he was full.

For the pig’s feet noodles for dinner, Zhu Han kneads and cooks the noodles, while Gu Qing cooks. There is a cold salad with folded ear root to clear the heat, and a stewed pig’s feet for making pig’s feet noodles.

Villagers usually eat buckwheat noodles, which are blackened and mixed with various grains. They will scratch their throats when they are made into noodles, but white noodles will not. Not only does it look good in color, but it also tastes soft and fragrant when paired with pig's feet. , Take a sip, the mouthful is full of fragrance, and then take a bite of the cold dish, it is delicious and refreshing, even the soup is clean.

For the first time, Zhu Han knew that the smelly and hard stinky vegetables in his impression could be so refreshing and delicious.

After eating, Gu Qing served up the cleaned raspberries, which Gu Nuo found during the day.

The red raspberry tastes sweet and sour, and it is especially greasy.

The whole family eats a round belly.

Gu Nuo looked satisfied: "It would be great if I could eat this much every day."

Zhu Han did the calculations in his mind, and bought back twenty catties of rice and twenty catties of white noodles, thirty catties of cornmeal, and thirty catties of buckwheat noodles this morning. Calculated at three catties for a meal and nine catties a day, it was only enough to eat. Eleven or twelve days.

Mo Li asked directly: "What should I do after I finish eating the food that the silver hairpin exchanged for?"

Yang Pei said: "There are still more than 20 days to harvest the crops in the field, so I won't be hungry all the time."

"Don't worry, let's pick more mushrooms every day for more than 20 days. Even if we sell one tael of silver a day, we can get more than 20 taels in the autumn harvest. With so much money, we can also buy food after paying taxes. .”

As soon as Gu Qing said this, the room fell silent.

Although there are many mushrooms on the mountain, there are also many people in the village. After seeing them selling mushrooms a few times, it is inevitable that there will be many villagers who follow the mushrooms to sell. When the mushrooms are flooded, will anyone want them?

Huzhou next door has been raining for a month, and the rice fields have been washed away. This year's taxes will be heavy, but food will definitely be expensive.

Gu Qing waved her hand: "Don't be so sad, with me here, I won't starve you all, so go to sleep."

The night was quiet.

Several people who had been busy all day fell asleep as soon as they climbed into bed.
