Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 154 What else can Tao Zi do?

These peaches have been sold for so long, until now they can no longer be sold, not to mention the peaches on the tree will not last for many days, even the peaches returned by the carriage will not last for a few days, they can only rot.Bartering things in other Zhuangzi is no longer feasible, and the people in Zhuangzi rely on these peaches to make money and come back to build bridges. The wish may not be realized.

When they gathered at the foot of the big tree after dinner for a while, the big guys no longer talked about what new things happened during the peach exchange, or said that after the bridge was built, the family bought an ox cart and went in and out. It's very convenient, besides, thanks to Jing Zhe's idea, the peaches were sold this year.It was already hard to hear the laughter, and the things that opened and closed were all about those rotten peaches, and the bullock cart never mentioned it again.It's just that the peaches can't be sold, the bridge can't be repaired well, and even the harvesting crops on the opposite river bank don't know how to transport them.Some mean men even said that it was Jing Zhe who gave everyone this idea, who knew that it was like dew, unable to stand the sun, and there was more hope for no reason, which made it even more uncomfortable now, and it was a loss to pick peaches time.As soon as I said this, I was scolded a few more times, but I couldn't hear it, and was drowned in the multitude of voices.

Jing Zhe is just like in the past, Li Dejiang comforted him and told him not to think too much, these few days are busy enough, don't delay any more, after two days, he will go to the private school in the town to study, the things in the village will naturally follow them I am busy with work, and I can save enough money this year to repair it next year, but Li Dequan needs to strengthen the bridge a little bit, or put two wooden boats on the bank for everyone to use when harvesting.

Jing Zhe also seemed to be a normal person, just smiled and said that he was just doing his best, but sometimes it depends on God whether things can be done or not, besides, he finally got back some money, and it was one step closer to repairing the bridge. The truth is that I will be sad, right?When he said that, everyone felt relieved.

Chen Yongyu looked helpless, seeing that the peaches could not be retting in the car, and there was no other way to sell them. It seemed that they would have to be distributed to each household as before.

With this method, there are very few people who come to pick up the peaches, and no one has kept some peaches. Besides, if they are short of these peaches, it is better to wait to pick them from the tree. They are fresh and have not passed through that way. bumpy.As a result, the peaches in the carriage remained on the carriage, and no one came to take them away.

Since the carriage was lent by the Ning family to Zhuang Zili, it was no longer useful at this time, so it was natural to return it, but Tao Zi couldn't do anything about it.Chen Yongyu's brows were frowned tightly, and after a day or two of delay, he finally made up his mind, and called Dequan Dejiang and a few others who were safe, saying that he was dumping the peaches from the carriage into the peach grove.

Li Dejiang shook his head straight, "Why, these peaches are for food. If no one wants them, no one will want them. The peaches that have been picked are about to be dumped again. I feel really uncomfortable."

Chen Yongyu shook his head and said, "Fortunately, it's not completely useless. When the peaches rot, they can be used to raise trees. It's a pity that we have no money to build bridges."

Xu Qinshi looked at the peaches, took a dustpan and picked some big ones, "Oh, evil, such good peaches will be thrown away, but there is no reason for it, so I'd better pick some and put them away, and see if God will give them away." Give face."

Gu Yu was listening to Xiao He's talk about the past, Xiao He didn't shy away from it, and when he said it now, it seemed a bit reminiscent of bitterness and sweetness, and he specifically mentioned that there was a time when someone gave him a little food, but the pot at home leaked. In desperation, I still stewed it in a crock pot, and I still miss that taste now.Gu Yu felt sad for a while, and suddenly saw Xu Qinshi nagging about this, she quickly came to her senses, grabbed Xu Qinshi's dustpan and asked, "Grandma, what are you talking about?"

Xu Qinshi said again what he just said, and Gu Yu now realized the seriousness of the matter, "Are they really going to dump the peaches?"

"Is that still fake?"

Without even thinking about it, Gu Yu ran over to stop a few people who were about to put peaches into several bamboo baskets, "What's the matter, what's the matter, just throw away the good peaches just like that?"

Li Dequan shook his head helplessly, "Go away to Gu Yu, don't bump into you when the baskets come in and out later."

At this time, Gu Yu thought of what Xiao He said that there was nothing to eat, and then remembered that the ripe peaches were rotten in the ground like blood, and now they threw all the good peaches on the ground. Li, really couldn't think of any good way, the only idea was not to throw away these peaches, there would be no room for maneuver, so she burst out, "Put all these peaches in our backyard, I There is a way!"

Chen Yongyu thought that Gu Yu really had a solution, so he blurted out and asked, "Gu Yu, if you have any good ideas, tell me quickly!"

Gu Yu pretended to be mysterious and shook her head, sighed, "I can't tell you this so quickly, otherwise it won't work, anyway, you don't lose anything if you listen to me, the worst thing is to throw it away later. "

Perhaps it was because Gu Yu had always had a lot of ideas, and they had already believed it. Although they shook their heads, they still wanted to move the peaches into the backyard and see what Gu Yu could do.

Gu Yu intercepted the peaches, but she was in a hurry. She said that she wanted to keep those peaches just for a moment, and she knew that if she couldn't think of any other way in these two days, it would not only be the release of these peaches. The peaches in the backyard, even the peaches on those trees, can't be kept.

But at this time, there is no one to discuss with. Jing Zhe went to private school, An Jinxuan also went to the town to know what to do, and Gu Yu could only stand there desperately thinking about what he had eaten before that was made of peaches. Yes, it is easy to keep and handle these peaches.

The first thing that came to my mind was to make the peaches like dried sweet potatoes, but Gu Yu lost confidence when he saw that it would rain every once in a while. I don't know how long it will take so many preserved fruits.

Gu Yu couldn't think of a solution, so she wandered around the room. Seeing her worrying like that, Xu Qinshi laughed a little, "It's over, don't walk around here like that millstone donkey, come eat grandma. Flower sauce soup made for you. This is the best."

Xu Qinshi's flower sauce soup was thought up by herself. She said that the Chinese rose in the vegetable garden grew well and was picked just right. She slowly ground it in a coarse bowl with sand and stones by the river. It's like grinding medicine, it's ground out little by little, and it can't be stained with other things to avoid astringent taste. At this time, add sugar and boil it into water, everyone loves to drink it.

Gu Yu took a sip unintentionally, and saw Xu Qin's peeling the peaches with the dustpan, hurried over and asked, "Grandma, what are you doing with this? I'll peel the peaches for you."

Xu Qinshi nodded for a while and shook his head for a while, "I pickled peaches to eat. The peaches are peeled and pitted, then cut open, pickled with salt, washed with water, and then mixed with honey juice and so on. , you can eat whatever you want."

Seeing that Gu Yu has found the dawn, it seems that people say that there is nothing wrong with having an old man like a treasure, so he quickly posted it and asked, "Grandma, how long can this stay?"

Xu Qinshi asked a little strangely, "What do you want to stay for, do it after eating."

Gu Yu smiled foolishly, "It's just that there are so many fresh peaches now, if we can keep these, if we stay at home in cold weather and eat peaches by the fire, that would be a great thing."

Only then did Xu Qinshi smile, but the work in his hands did not stop at all, "Don't keep this one, anyway, peaches are eaten every year, and now I see that everyone doesn't want to eat them, so I will exchange them for everyone." Taste, but it’s not good to keep it for winter, I guess it can be kept for more than ten days.”

Gu Yu sighed, Xu Qinshi still thought that she was thinking about eating peaches for a whole year, so she comforted her and said, "You have a good idea, we grow these things every season, after this season, it will be fine." You have to wait until next year, how can you eat whatever you want throughout the year, it’s a must, when the peaches are about to fall, I’ll pick a batch and pickle them, and you can eat them for a while.”

Gu Yu didn't care about the pickled peaches from Qin's side, she was just thinking about her own business, it was a trivial matter for her to eat less peaches, but the big guys were waiting for such a batch of peaches to exchange for money, and now hope was lost There are still some gossips, and most of these gossips are refuted by people in Zhuangzi.Gu Yu was very pleased to hear this, but at the same time wanted to do something for the people in Zhuangzi.

Thinking so blindly, Gu Yu turned to the backyard. The backyard was a whole piece of chopped firewood, a temporary kitchen, but no matter how Gu Yu turned around and looked at the backyard, his eyes could not avoid the big peaches. The bright red is placed there.Although the peaches were well protected when they were transported back and forth, they still had some scars, and now some of the peaches had deep scars on the skin, which made Gu Yu shake his head.In addition, there are some jars brought by Qiao'e in the corner of the courtyard. Xu Qinshi said they are used to pickle vegetables, but they are not needed now, and they don't need to be placed in the room to take up space, so they are simply placed here.

Gu Yu squatted on the ground holding those peaches, thinking bitterly, if I could turn all of your peaches into peach juice, and then the peach juice would be condensed into powder, it would not be as much as it is now, but just a little bit. Stuff it into the jar little by little, it won't rot no matter what!If needed in the future, the powder can still be turned into peach juice, and it is good to do whatever you want...

Gu Yu stared at the peaches and then at the jar, suddenly it was as if watching these peaches slowly shrink and pour into the jar.
