Chapter 64: Persuade Aunt Zhang

Gu Xiaowan calmly explained: "We went to dig bamboo shoots this morning, and we ate bamboo shoots at noon. But this bamboo shoot is really different from what you imagined. The bamboo shoots are really delicious. It's uncomfortable because of improper handling. Bamboo shoots are oiled, and sometimes the more you eat, the more hungry you feel. However, I naturally have a way to make it a delicious dish.
"What way?" Aunt Zhang asked eagerly.
"Aunt Zhang, I can’t tell you for the time being. I came here today, I just want Brother Shitou to go with me to dig bamboo shoots on the mountain, and dig a little more. If the time comes, the bamboo shoots will definitely be able to sell for a high price. , You can definitely make a lot of money." Gu Xiaowan said vowedly.
"Gu's girl, do you think this bamboo shoot can really be sold for money?" Uncle Zhang had eaten the thing, it was astringent, it was really not tasty, and after eating it, his stomach was groaning all day, very uncomfortable. Since then, I have never eaten it again.
"Really, Uncle Zhang, you have to trust me!" Gu Xiaowan said categorically, "So I came over and asked Brother Shitou to dig some bamboo shoots and put them at home. They will be ready to sell. If it is really impossible to sell, Aunt Zhang , I will tell you how to smash these bamboo shoots, make them delicious and relieve hunger, can be used as a dish, do you think it will work?"
After listening to Gu Xiaowan's words, Aunt Zhang suddenly became clear in her heart, where is this to ask Shitou to help, this is basically to make Shitou make money. If Gu Xiaowan really knew how to make bamboo shoots delicious, she could take her brothers and sisters up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots by herself, and then sell them. She wouldn't have to run and call the stone and follow along.
Aunt Zhang's heart was the same as Ming Jing's, and she understood Gu Xiaowan's words at once.
Aunt Zhang was grateful and pleased. I am grateful that since Gu Chuanfu and his wife passed away, I can be regarded as occasionally helping these brothers and sisters. I didn't expect them to be so young, but they all remember this kindness. Fortunately, Gu Chuanfu and his wife should be relieved to see their children so conscientious.
"Mother, I'll go!" Little Stone actually decided to dig bamboo shoots before Gu Xiaowan finished speaking. Gu Xiaowan meant that the bamboo shoots can be dug up and sold for money. Even if they can’t be sold, they can be taken back to eat at home. The bamboo shoots are everywhere on the mountain, and no villagers are digging them. If they dig a lot, store them. At home, it's a lot of food.
Of course, the little stone is glad to go.
"It's just that" Uncle Zhang on the side did not speak, as if thinking about something. Seeing that everyone had finished speaking, Uncle Zhang said: "At this time, the weather is so cold. The bamboo shoots will be warm after spring. After the spring rains Will grow out. What bamboo shoots are you going to dig at this time?"
Aunt Zhang was taken aback. Just now, she just asked Gu Xiaowan whether they had eaten or what they had eaten. I heard them saying that they didn’t care about eating bamboo shoots. They only thought that they could not be eaten, but never thought that this time is the big winter. , Where are the bamboo shoots?
On this point, after hearing Uncle Zhang finished speaking, he asked: "Yes, there are no bamboo shoots at this time."
"Hehe" Gu Xiaowan chuckled, "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, don't worry, we definitely got the bamboo shoots."
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang looked at each other, and saw Gu Xiaowan's confident look, and they stopped talking.
"Brother Stone, hurry up and eat, we will go home and wait for you."
auzw.com Little Stone waved his hand quickly: "No, I will go with you all the way."
After finishing speaking, he took the and basket, and followed Gu Xiaowan and the others without waiting for Aunt Zhang's warning.
Back at Gu's house, Gu Ning'an had already packed his tools, and seeing Gu Xiaowan and the others came, the group of five people reentered the bamboo forest.
In the bamboo forest, Gu Xiaowan first taught Little Stone how to find bamboo shoots buried in the soil, and then taught him how to dig it. Little Stone is used to farm work. After learning it once and seeing it once, she has a general idea in her heart. One touch is accurate, and with great strength, the speed of digging bamboo shoots can catch up with the four siblings of the Gu family.
After busy working all afternoon, the small stones filled the basket, and Gu Xiaowan and the others also filled a basket. It's just that the small stone basket is larger than Gu Xiaowan's. This basket is full, this winter bamboo shoots are probably forty to fifty catties.
"Brother Shitou, you will put all the bamboo shoots away when you go back. People will ask you, don't say anything, you know?" Gu Xiaowan asked. In this business, the first to eat crabs is the hero, and the first to do business is also the hero.
Although Xiao Shitou looked introverted, he was very sensitive in his heart. After listening to Gu Xiaowan's advice, he understood what was going on and nodded. After saying goodbye to the four siblings of the Gu family, they went home carrying the basket.
When Gu's sister and brother returned home, they poured the bamboo shoots dug in the afternoon and the bamboo shoots dug at noon together, which was more than 50 catties.
After Gu Xiaowan finished dinner and cleaned up Gu Xiaoyi, Gu Xiaowan felt like she was falling apart.
For an eight-year-old girl, digging bamboo shoots for a day is really not an easy task.
Gu Xiaowan was lying in the new quilt, feeling that her whole waist was about to break.
Today, I was either bent over to dig winter bamboo shoots, or bent to find winter bamboo shoots. I have been pulling on the ground for a day. I have been half-bended. Can you say that this waist is not sore?
At this moment, Gu Xiaowan felt melancholy.
Children without father and mother are suffering. Gu Xiaowan turned her head and looked at the tired three younger siblings who had fallen asleep, feeling sour. Especially the youngest Gu Xiaoyi, today is the cat walking around on the ground covered with bamboo leaves. Gu Xiaoyi was originally young, and there are some chopped bamboo and bamboo pockets in the bamboo forest, buried in dead leaves. Gu Xiaoyi does not understand, and often trips over the bamboo pockets, but he does not say a word of bitterness. Tired.
It's better to be careful to find winter bamboo shoots carefully.
Ugh.
Gu Xiaowan felt uncomfortable. A child who was only four years old in his previous life was not acting like a baby in the arms of his parents, and even the meals were fed by his parents. There are also Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping, at the age of six, they should be literate in school, but it's a pity that they don't have money at home, can't read books, can't go to school.
