Chapter 15 Braised Pork; Soaked Bamboo Shoots
There is a patch of scattered bamboo shoots on the mountain opposite the village. They started to sprout two days ago.

Gu Yu walked into the bamboo forest and wondered if it was not popular. There were very few people eating bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest grew so well that almost no one came to dig them up to eat.

I broke off the fresh bamboo shoots and put them in the basket. The basket was soon full.

Gu Yu did not intend to go back now. He put the backpack into the secret space, picked up the machete and continued walking up the mountain. He caught three pheasants and five hares on the mountain.

Even more fortunately, when he saw a stupid roe deer running around in the forest, Gu Yu rushed out and quickly knocked it down, killing it with a knife and temporarily hiding it in the secret realm.

While wandering around the woods, I found a lot of small wild fruits, dug out two nests of hares, and caught six squirrels.

He took out four ginseng plants from the secret space, carried the silly roe deer, pheasant and hare and hurried home. As soon as he entered the door, he locked the door behind his back and shouted in an excited voice: "Father, mother, come here and see what this is!" "

When Gu Wu and Yang heard the sound, they immediately ran over and saw Gu Yu holding four green plants in his hands, and were shocked.

These four ginseng plants have strange shapes and are very similar to the thousand-year-old ginseng told by the old man in the village.

Gu Wu asked excitedly: "Yu'er, where did you find this?"

Ms. Yang was also very surprised. She pulled her husband's sleeves, quickly checked whether the door was closed, went back to the room, brought four red threads, and tied them to the two legs of the ginseng.

Gu Wu looked at the four plants carefully and kept mumbling: "Yes, yes, these four plants are ginseng, and they have grown into the shape of little people. They must be quite old."

In his memory, he was lucky enough to follow his father to the drug store to get medicine in his early years, and saw a wealthy family buying ginseng.

The ginseng the doctor took out was exactly the same as the four ginseng plants my daughter found.

The wealthy family bought it for two hundred taels of silver. Oh my god, two hundred taels! That is an amount that their farmers may not be able to save after a lifetime of hard work.

If the price of that ginseng plant is 200 taels per plant, and I have four ginseng plants, wouldn’t I have 800 taels!

Gu Wu's hands couldn't help but tremble when he thought about the huge sum of money his family was about to have. Yang's situation is not much better. She had heard that "ginseng can restore Yang and save lives", not to mention that older ginseng is difficult to find, otherwise there would be no such old saying as "the famous ginseng is hard to see with its ghostly cover and beard, and its material resembles a human form and is hard to find".

The couple eagerly asked Gu Yu where he found the ginseng. On the way back, Gu Yu thought about how to answer: "When I was breaking off bamboo shoots, I heard the crowing of pheasants in the forest, so I went to look, and the result was I saw silly roe deer running around in the forest, so I chased them, and found these four ginseng plants under a stone wall."

Gu Wu and his wife looked into the yard, and sure enough they saw a silly roe deer, three pheasants, five hares, and a few squirrels.

The couple asked Gu Yu how he caught these prey. Gu Yu pointed to the increasingly heavy rain outside and said, "On rainy days, these little things are too wet to run. It's not like you don't know my daughter's speed and strength." ,so……"

Yang checked Gu Yu's body and saw that she was not injured. Then she felt relieved and said, "My whole body is soaked. Go change clothes and dry your hair."

"Okay." Gu Yu returned to the house to change clothes.

Mrs. Yang carefully wrapped the four ginseng plants with a handkerchief and put them in a jewelry box that Gu Wu had given her in the early years.

Gu Wu was handling the prey brought back by Gu Yu in the yard with a knife. After changing clothes, Gu Yu walked out and sat in the yard peeling bamboo shoots. Yang and Gu Wu were handling the prey and said: "It's rainy and the road is hard to walk. Otherwise, such a big roe deer can be taken to the town and sold in exchange for a lot of money. There are also three pheasants that are all dead. All of a sudden, three of our family members have died." I can’t eat so much meat personally.”

Gu Wu divided the silly roe deer into two halves and said: "Bring these two legs to eldest sister. Yu'er, isn't there a brine recipe? You brine the rest of the meat and give it to Yu'er. Yu'er, you eat a lot, these The meat will be eaten in a day or two.”

The couple had always doted on Gu Yu and wanted her to eat and drink every day. When Gu Wu said this, Yang immediately went to the kitchen to prepare.

She found the necessary materials and asked Gu Yu to read the instructions in the book and put the meat into the pot.

Gu Yu cleaned the bamboo shoots, boiled them in boiling hot water for ten minutes, took them out and let them cool, put them into a container, and added an appropriate amount of salt, pepper, ginger, garlic, chili pepper, white wine, vinegar, etc.

After sealing, store it in a cool place for a week.

Yang looked at the clay pot and asked with some confusion: "Is this okay?"

"Yes! You can eat it in a few days." Gu Yu pointed to the pot of braised pork and said, "Look, mother, the color of the braised meat is the same as the one sold in the town. I tasted a piece and it tasted better than the one in the town. Even better, if we sell braised pork, business will be very good."

What she said is true, even though food in this era is richer than before, and a lot of resources are in the hands of big families.

It is even more difficult for ordinary people to obtain a valuable formula. She said she was buying braised pork, which was true or not. At least now she didn't have the strength to compete with those big families, so it would be unwise to compete with them for the cake.

Saying this sentence mainly gradually strengthens the mentality of Gu Wu and his wife that "the family can make money and there are ways to make money."

Yang's mind was spinning, and she didn't immediately say that she was going to buy braised pork, but she had some ideas in her mind, and she washed the pot and made dinner for the evening.

Gu Yu cut out a plate of braised roe deer meat, chopped two braised chickens, went to the vegetable garden to pick some green onions and coriander, mixed them and put them in a bowl.

Yang served the cooked cabbage. Gu Wu, who carried two roe deer legs to Gu Pan's house, came back and tasted a piece of braised pork. He praised: "It tastes really good, even better than the ones sold in the town." He then said: "Yu'er, you are still cutting it at home. Take out one pot and mix it, and daddy will take this pot to your aunt to try."

On his way back, he smelled the aroma of meat wafting from his house. It wasn't that he didn't have it at home. He still had it at home, so he sent some to his eldest sister and two nephews.

After all, the couple are old and don't know how long they can live. After they die in the future, their two nephews will still need to take care of their daughter. The relationship between the family can be good and conflicts can be avoided as much as possible.

Gu Pan saw Gu Wu walking over carrying a wooden tray and asked him: "Second brother, what did you bring here?"

Gu Wu replied with a smile: "Yu'er accidentally discovered a braised pork recipe when she was reading in the study. Today she caught a silly roe deer and three pheasants, and pestered her mother to cook them. My wife tried to braise them according to the recipe. Now that the meat is ready, I brought some for you all. How do you like it as a family?"

Gu Pan smelled the aroma of meat emanating from the wooden basin: "Yu'er is so lucky." She shouted to the kitchen: "Old man, come out and bring in a new basin, and let your second uncle take the basin back."

The elder sister-in-law took the wooden basin and walked into the kitchen. After smelling the fragrance, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva and thought: The younger sister is not only strong, she can also hunt prey. Be literate and understand the recipes hidden in books. well! Children still need to study to be smart!
The second aunt also smelled the fragrance and said enviously: "This smell is really mouth-watering!"
