Gu Yao thought about it, and then returned Qin Lingling's words.
"Uncle Jiang is very nice. Every time Xiuxiu and I go to see Jiang Xiaoben, he eats for us, as well as the white rabbit toffee. As for Jiang Xiaoben's mother, she is also very good. , I used to like me, and said that I will be Jiang Xiaoben's wife in the future."
Gu Yao thought of coming to Jiang Xiaoben to play when she was a child. Of course, they were still studying at that time, and they were still children. Jiang Xiaoben’s home was the closest to the elementary school, so she and Xiuxiu went to Jiang Xiaoben first every time they left school. home's.
"But..." Gu Yao suddenly hesitated again after thinking about it.
"But what?"
"But one time when Jiang Xiaoben came to play with me, he was kicked out by Aunt Dani, and she accidentally dropped her foot and lay at home for two months. Aunt Man told me not to let Jiang Xiaoben come to play with me. ."
Aunt Man, Gu Yao's name is Jiang Xiaoben's mother.
Gu Yao remembered that she had just dropped out of school for less than half a year, and Jiang Xiaoben and Xiuxiu loved to come and play with her every weekend when they had time.
She was working at home at that time, and when the two came, she accompanied them to play in the river, catching fish and loach, and picking fruits in the mountains.
But Aunt Dani was upset, saying that she had been playing around all day, and then took the sticks, Jiang Xiaoben and Xiuxiu went home. Jiang Xiaorun was in a hurry, accidentally fell his foot and shed a lot of blood because Aunt Man was not happy about this matter. After all, every time Jiang Xiaoben and Xiuxiu came to look for her, they were always chased away by Aunt Dani.
It was also because after that incident, the two came less often, every time they were sneaky. Later, Xiuxiu and his family moved to the county seat, and Jiang Xiaoben entered the factory after graduation, and they didn't have much contact.
"However, when I went to find Jiang Xiaoben to get the book, I also met Aunt Man. She didn't seem to remember that anymore, but I was to blame for it. It had nothing to do with Aunt Man. After all, Jiang Xiaoben was injured. It's all because of me. They don't come to see me, and he won't lie in the wound for so long. He still has a big scar on his foot now."
Qin Lingling patted her shoulder, "Don't blame you, this is just an accident."
I said so, but I think that Gu Yao's factor is also in the eyes of her precious son falling. Qin Lingling thinks that if she is herself, she should also be angry. Try to keep her son away from playing with Gu Yao, who knows Gu Will anyone in Yao's family be frantic and do something worse? At that time, it was not a leg that was injured, but his life.
Gu Yao said, "If they hadn't come to see me, they wouldn't have such a thing, it would still be my fault, so what Aunt Man said about me is what I deserve."
Qin Lingling did not persuade her again.
Because of this, none of them is wrong, and no one can blame it.
"Moreover, this is why I dare not let Jiang Xiaoben tell his family. I'm afraid their family won't like me anymore."
Hearing this, Qin Lingling patted her shoulder, "It's okay, this matter has passed. Seeing what you said, the Jiang family doesn't look like a stingy person, that matter should have passed. Don't worry, you are a good one. Girl, everyone knows that it is his blessing that Jiang Xiaoben is with you. As for his parents, they will also like you."
Although I have never met the Jiang family, I know from Gu Yao that the Jiang family should also be a sensible person. Otherwise, if Jiang Xiaoben broke his leg, the Jiang family would not let Gu Yao and Jiang Xiaoben come into contact. . Although they said that, the children really went to play with someone, and the adults didn't stop them, nor did they come to stop the abuse. It can be seen that they are also reasonable people.
What's more, the Jiang family must have known about Jiang Xiaoben's visit to Gu Yao for more than a year, but they didn't say anything. Even Gu Yao was not prevented from going to his house. It should be okay.
As for the injury to Jiang Xiaoben, even if the Jiang family has that trace in their hearts, as long as Gu Yao and Jiang Xiaoben live well, this is not a problem.
Of course, Qin Lingling respects Gu Yao's decision no matter whether they can go on or not. If you can go on, then it will be the best. Love from the end is the best in her eyes. Of course, the most important thing is to find someone who suits you, loves you, and can be happy for a lifetime together.
However, if there is time for the Jiang family, Qin Lingling still has to contact one or two. What Gu Yao said is the same thing, but what she sees is the same.
But Qin Lingling is not anxious about this matter, she is more anxious now to make money.
After about four days of marinating, Qin Lingling opened the lid.
When I opened the lid, a sour scent came out of it.
Gu Yao went directly into the kitchen following the taste, Qin Lingling was picking it up with chopsticks.
Hearing the footsteps, Qin Lingling looked at her and smiled: "You have a good nose, I just opened the lid."
"I can smell it."
"Well, since it's here, let's taste the taste first to see if it tastes good?"
"It's definitely delicious." Gu Yao took the bamboo shoots from her chopsticks and said hurriedly.
Qin Lingling replied, "You have to taste it carefully and see if there is anything that needs to be improved. I will make it delicious, the effect that I want to eat after eating it."
Gu Yao nodded, "All right, then I'll taste it seriously."
But after Gu Yao finished eating, she still said, "Well, it's delicious, sister-in-law, it's really delicious, try it soon, it's so crispy! It's a bit spicy, but it's okay, I can accept it. "
I know that I can't get any good advice from Gu Yao, after all, Gu Yao is her number one fan.
After that, she took the sour bamboo shoots to Gu Guoqiang brothers and sisters to try, and the answer was still delicious and crisp.
"Anything else?" Gu Guoqiang asked with a face.
Qin Lingling answered him with a horror, "Forget it, so be it. I will go to the county town on the weekend. It happens that Saturday is the market day."
The streets of this era are not like later generations, where countless people are shopping every day. On the contrary, everyone is very busy. Only on the fair day will go to the town and county town to go to the fair. At that time, the streets are the busiest.
Hearing that she was going to town, Gu Guoqiang was the first to raise his hand, "Sister-in-law, let me go with you!"
"Don't you need to go to work?"
"I take a day off, I'm tired."
"Then I will go by myself. You are busy with the production team. Don't go fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. It's not good to go on like this!"
Gu Guoqiang was actually worried that his sister-in-law would go to the streets alone, and wanted to follow along to have a caregiver.
Although I made some sour bamboo shoots, but not many. In the afternoon, Qin Lingling took advantage of her free time to dig bamboo shoots in the mountains.
She was very satisfied with the sour bamboo shoots made this time and plans to do more next time.
Although Gu Yao and the others have tried to give some exaggerated answers, Qin Lingling still thinks this sour bamboo shoot has a future. Besides, not only sour bamboo shoots, but also many things that can be marinated, this carob cabbage They can be pickled. People in the county are not as convenient as in the countryside. Vegetables and fruits are all transported from the countryside, so sour bamboo shoots like this are rare.
Now the spring bamboo shoots are tender. When some small bamboo shoots emerge, they are the most tender and best. The soaked bamboo shoots are crispy and delicious.
Qin Lingling did it when she thought of it. In the afternoon, she carried two large baskets of the tenderest bamboo shoots she had picked and went down the mountain.
I met people on the road, and some people were curious to ask her why she was digging so many bamboo shoots?
Qin Lingling only said that there is not much food at home now, and she wants to prepare more bamboo shoots.
After the spring rains, the weather will gradually become hot. The weather is hot. Some vegetables are more difficult to grow. It will take a while to get them. At this time, many people don’t have any vegetables at home, they only eat rice or put them. Add a few radish bibimbap, or just add a few salt.
The other party did not doubt either, and said, "Then there is no need to prepare so much, too much preparation is a waste."
Qin Lingling smiled, but did not answer.
After taking the bamboo shoots back home, the working people at home have not yet returned, only Li Dani has returned.
Seeing that she came back with so many bamboo shoots, she knocked on the sunflower seeds left over from the Chinese New Year while asking, "How come back so many bamboo shoots?"
Qin Lingling didn't want to pay attention to her. Although Li Dani is not so annoying now, it is not surprising that she also likes it.
But thinking about it, she suddenly turned around and asked, "Are you going to help?"
When Li Dani heard this, a standard Dani rolled her eyes and then muttered, "Who wants to help?"
Qin Lingling ignored her and put all the bamboo shoots in the ditch flowing by the side, and then removed the bamboo shoots one by one, and then threw them in the water to clean them.
Li Dani entered the house, what are you going to do? But this time it was too early to cook, and he walked out again, watching a person squatting in the corner of the room, putting the melon seeds in his hand into his pocket, and walking to the front.
Qin Lingling heard the voice and looked back at her, only to hear Li Dani suddenly say, "What do you want me to do?"
Qin Lingling was stunned when she heard what she said, only to realize that she was going to help.
She also pointed to another basket of spring bamboo shoots that had not been put down, "Help me peel off my clothes."
Li Dani murmured, "Why dig so much?" She was disgusted, but then she began to peel off the bamboo shoots.
Don't think that Li Dani usually works less, but she does not lose to Qin Lingling when she works, and even faster than Qin Lingling's hands and feet.
After all, she came from the countryside. Although she is chic now, she still does, but she is lazy.
Qin Lingling looked at Li Dani while peeling, smiling at the corners of her mouth.
I have to say that Li Dani looked very annoying at first, but she felt that this kind of humanity was more real. Everything she did was to make her life better. For the brothers and sisters Gu Zheng and Gu Yao , It may be a disaster, but most human nature will be like this.
Moreover, she is changing now, which is also good.
As for her later encounters and fate in the original book, she no longer overlaps with her current living environment, and everything is changing.
No one is born a bad person. Since it can be good, it is better than being a bad person.
When the siblings came back, they saw Li Dani sitting on a small wooden bench, quickly peeling off the coat of bamboo shoots with both hands.
Standing outside, Gu Guoqiang shouted in surprise, "Mom!"
When Li Dani heard the voice, she quickly got up from the stool and said to the air, "Okay, let's not do it."
Qin Lingling glanced at the bamboo shoots in the basket, there were already a few left.
She knew that Li Dani was afraid of being laughed at by her children. She was so arrogant at the beginning and listened to everything in the family, but now no one listens to her.
Qin Lingling said to her, "Thank you, I will give you a taste at that time, and it will be counted as a manual fee."
Li Dani snorted, and she didn't know if it was agreed or not.
Gu Guoqiang stepped forward, looked at the pile of peeled bamboo shoots on the ground, and asked, "Mom, are you helping my sister-in-law peel the bamboo shoots?"
Li Dani ignored her son's words, and hurriedly walked into the house. As she walked, she told her children to feed the chickens and burn the fire, "I'll water the vegetable garden."
Qin Lingling didn't strip the remaining few for long, and they all finished stripping.
Wash the cleaned bamboo shoots, put them back in the basket, and when the evening is not busy, place them on the flat ground outside, and then put a large basket cover on the cutting board, and start cutting one by one.
The bamboo shoots are thinly sliced, which is convenient for blanching and soaking.
But don’t look easy. Qin Lingling cut the two big baskets all night and couldn’t finish it. Fortunately, with Gu Yao’s help, the cut bamboo shoots were blanched in hot water, then picked up and put in the water again. Soak it to avoid the astringency in the bamboo shoots, and she rinsed it with water several times.
After the busy schedule, it is already late at night, and the rest of the work will be done tomorrow.
When I got up the next day, the bamboo shoots of last night had been drained. Qin Lingling picked up all the bamboo shoots and put them in a large tank for soaking.
Because there are other things to be busy, she finally finished cutting the bamboo shoots by noon.
Because she had already done it in advance, she would have to be more handy when she did it again, which was a large amount, time-consuming and labor-intensive.
She made two altars. One was soaked with pickled peppers she knew she knew, and the other was soaked in water boiled with vinegar and other ingredients without adding peppers.
Although chili is very good, there are still many people who don't like chili in this place.
It takes nearly half a month to soak in this way, so Qin Lingling is not in a hurry.
On Saturday, it was the market day, and Qin Lingling got up early in the morning to go out.
She is going to find business with her sour bamboo shoots today.
Seeing Qin Lingling hurried out, Gu Yao was puzzled, and said, "Why is my sister-in-law going to town again? Has my brother's letter come?"
Qin Lingling only responded, "I have something to go to the county seat. You can cook and eat at noon at home."
Gu Yao was puzzled, looked at her back, and asked to be careful all the way.
Qin Lingling rode directly to the county seat by bicycle. The county seat has a lot of people and people. There are many restaurants and breakfast shops. Maybe she can sell it.
Regardless of her approach, it looks simple, but it is not so easy to make soaking water. Practice makes perfect.
When she used to work, there was a mala Tang and hot and sour noodle shop downstairs. Everything was common, but the sour cabbage dish made was very special. Many repeat customers went to her house to eat it. She went to pickled cabbage at home, and everyone said they fell in love with this sauerkraut.
There is also a breakfast shop where many people go to eat every day. This vermicelli is the same for everyone, and the barbecued pork is the same, but the soup base is different. They are all exclusive secret recipes. After eating, others still want Pack one and go home and continue eating.
This is the reason for returning customers.
She also ate Mala Tang’s sauerkraut at the beginning. She went home and made some sauerkraut, but she didn’t do well several times. Anyway, the color looks similar, but she can’t produce the crispy effect of others. .
Later, after many failures, she finally found the secret, and only then did she have so much craftsmanship.
When he arrived at a local soup noodle restaurant in the county seat, Qin Lingling went directly in.
At the beginning, she didn't know how to sell her own things, after all, it was the first time to do this kind of thing.
Making good sour bamboo shoots will be everywhere in later generations. They can be bought in any supermarket. They taste very good. Of course, many people have secret methods. However, few people specialize in making sour bamboo shoots. The main reason is that, These bamboo shoots are not found everywhere. Many places have been transformed into cities. It is not easy to dig some bamboo shoots. She used to be a friend who had bamboo shoots in her hometown. It is the easy-to-buy things like chicken feet.
Seeing her enter the door, someone came over and asked with a smile, "Little girl, what do you want to eat?"
Qin Lingling wanted to introduce her own sour bamboo shoots, but since they are all in their soup noodles restaurant, they should first eat a bowl of soup noodles and then talk about sour bamboo shoots. "Then give me a bowl of noodles!"
"Okay, do you want to add meat? Adding meat is five cents more expensive, and there are two pieces of meat."
"No, let's just get the vegetables, it's troublesome."
"Row!"
