Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 162
Jing Zhe heard An Jinxuan's call, turned around, smiled warmly and then nodded, "We knew about this matter yesterday, and we were going to get up and come back to take a look at it. Later, we thought about not taking too many wrong roads, or changing it." Cheng just came back today, we went to my little aunt's place at noon yesterday."

Gu Yu just heard An Jinxuan say such a big deal, it seems that everything is in the same way, her head is dizzy, it seems that many things have not been digested in time, just looking at the two of them, she feels a little more settled, There must be a solution. At this moment, when Jing Zhe heard about little aunt, she didn't realize it for a while, "What are you going to do with little aunt?"

An Jinxuan pulled Gu Yu over and pointed at Jing Zhe's feet, "You are so busy and confused, what do you think these are? Anyone who has ready-made ones here doesn't need it. If you don't ask your little aunt, who can you tell?"

Gu Yu clicked his tongue, and then slapped his forehead, cursing himself for being stupid, Qiao'e sent so many jars a while ago, why didn't he think of ordering from her in the past, "Then you ordered jars? When we pay the silver, can we not pay in full?"

Jing Zhe nodded, lowered his head slightly to look at the jar on the ground, and then said to Gu Yu: "There is no big problem with the jar, it is my little aunt's own business, we are willing to order them in the past, saying that we will get it for the first time It's a big deal here, you also know the friendship between our father and the Zhao family, they let us take it back and use it, and we will talk about the money later. This jar is not a big deal, have you forgotten about the caramel? Fortunately, you still like to eat it when you take it back. It is the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. She cooks and sells it herself. She said she is a relative, but there is another layer of separation. I think I will come back today. How can you prepare at home and start first? , make another jar of peach sauce and bring it to me, and I will go over with my little uncle to talk." After speaking, seeing Gu Yu's eyes with worry, he patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it's all my own. Even if the price is about the same, if we can pay half of the silver as a deposit first, it will solve our problem."

That day, according to what everyone said, Gu Yu made a pot of peach sauce. It was the first time Jingzhe ate it, and after eating it, he was full of praise.Hearing that Gu Yu and the others said they were going to ask someone to do something, Xu Qinshi packed up some rose flower sauce and a jar of pickled peaches, and asked Jing Zhe to take them, whether it was visiting relatives or giving gifts.All in all, it is a piece of mind from my own family.

Before going out, Li Dequan called Jingzhe into the room again, and the two of them talked for a long time before they came out.In the end, Li Dequan was still worried. Hearing that Jing Zhe and the Zhao family met in the town, he simply sent Jing Zhe to the town, and only when he saw the Zhao family got up and came back.

The people staying in the Zhuangzi were also busy with their own affairs. Chen Yongyu first asked Dazhu Dad to guard the peach grove, and catch anyone who made a mess of peaches or something.

Here Mrs. Zhang came to the door for the first time, and said with a sneer that there is a brother on the other side of her mother's house who specializes in building stoves for people. Maybe they can help. If there is no excuse to refuse, just agree. If there is a problem with the stove, the big event will be delayed. If you don't agree, then look at Li Dehai in front of you.

At the moment when Li Dejiang was in trouble, Li Dejiang had already returned with his craftsmen, Gu Yu had no choice but to say that there was no other way, as she was in a hurry, so it was natural to use such a group of people, after she finished speaking, she saw Zhang and Li Dehai feeling disappointed , I didn't want my uncle to be so cold-hearted, so I asked them to help watch from the front yard, and help me with anything, and there would be no more at that time, and it was twenty yuan a day's wages.Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but go back, showing off as much as possible. Mrs. Chen also came to beg for work when she saw that Mrs. Zhang got a bargain, but was pushed back by Li Dehe.

However, An Jinxuan suggested that Li Dehe was a sensible person, so he could help collect peach meat from other people's homes. Mrs. Chen was always fussy, so this time, let her go to each house to see if the peach meat was good. It's clean, and if it's raining, I'll help move things, anyway, it's something I can handle.

Such things were finally sorted out one by one, and it was all in line with everyone's wishes. Li He and Old Li often came to sit and sit, and when they went out to talk, they felt that their faces were bright, and those people wanted to come It is indispensable for workers to speak good words, and Li He has become more and more fond of strolling on the village road.Mrs. Zhang wanted to let Lichun and Lixia come over to help. Gu Yu and the others really didn't need it, so they had to go to Taolin to help everyone pick peaches. By the way, they looked at the peach forest. One day's wages, I thought it would take only a few days to finish picking, and it wouldn't cost much money.

When it was finally time to officially start work, Gu Yu already felt a little tired. It turned out that he was working so hard in business, and there were so many things to do, and he still had to worry about what happened suddenly. What should happen to the people in the yard over there... Brain There is a string stretched all day long.But it has reached this point, and there is no choice but to bite the bullet and hold on.

If the person Xu selected is trustworthy on weekdays, like Sister Hua and Qing Erniang, they can go to the field to pick peaches by themselves, and after picking them from the field, they can work at home by themselves. Well, a bucket of peach meat is worth five cents, as long as the peach meat is transported over and shown to Li Dehe, he will give cash.Except for these few, the others are here in the front yard. The men picked the peaches and picked them back and put them in the yard. The ones they picked were still worth a penny per barrel, and the peeling and pitting added up to four pennies.

The crowd was busy, especially the women who were doing things swiftly, talking about something, laughing and cursing, the smell of peaches was rippling in the air, and the pleasant sweet smell was everywhere.

The stove in the backyard has just been built, and it will not be used until tomorrow. Gu Yu doesn't want others to watch them make peach sauce. According to An Jinxuan, it's a secret recipe, so naturally he can't show it to others. If the pot is not used, the stove in the front yard of the family will not be used, and the cooking will continue as usual.

The personnel in my family have also been arranged, Xiaohe Xiaoman Wang is in charge of lighting the fire, Li Dequan Dejiang and Jiang's Xu Qin's Dalin is in charge of processes such as stirring, and Chen Yongyu and An Jinxuan Chen Jiangsheng are responsible for the final cooking After filling the jar, the wax seal was specially handed over to Wen Shi.Of course, this is just a rough division of labor. It will be natural for anyone to help when they are free, so there is no need to worry too much about it.

The next day, fortunately, Mrs. Xu did not invite many people, but there were quite a lot of peach meat. The people in the village who are used to work, of course, needless to say, those who are at home, work there when they are free, even in the front yard Those who work here also don’t go home until it’s dark, and come over early the next day.Bucket after bucket of peach meat was placed in the main room. Li Dehe was paid [-] Wen, and felt that it was his own family business. They do all the chores, Mrs. Zhang and the others are also called around by him to do things in the front yard.Seeing this, Gu Yu thought to himself that this hard-working fourth uncle married a Chen family who likes to take advantage of it secretly.

Jing Zhe and the others were still missing, Gu Yu was a little worried.An Jinxuan told her to relax and wait. Since they go out like that, there is probably no problem. Even if things fail, they will bring some emergency supplies back from the town. Anyway, they haven't reached the point where they need caramel. If it really doesn't work, steam the peach meat first, it doesn't take up so much space.

This is the only way to do it. The big sea bowls have been washed and placed in the temporary kitchen in the back yard, piled up there. Hearing that the work started, Chen Jiangsheng hurried in to hold the bowls. He almost swayed It was shattered, but fortunately, it was not in danger, and was reprimanded by Jiang for this.Xiao He clapped her hands and laughed.

This end was about to start a fire, and Xu Qinshi didn't know where he got it, so he sprinkled it around the backyard with tea boiled water, and chanted words while sprinkling, needless to say, praying for blessings.After her set was done, everyone started to ignite.

The peach meat is divided into bowls and steamed with water.

Jingzhe finally got news.It was still Lichun who rushed back and called in the yard, Li Dejiang closed the door of the main room leading to the backyard and told him, and then came in and said that Jingzhe and the others had brought back the caramel in order to take a shortcut, and it was at the bridge , Let the big guys come back with baskets.

Soon, Zhao Shi, whose face was a little dark, came back with Jing Zhe, the two talked about going there in the main room, Jing Zhe was very happy, "When I went, thanks to grandma's rose flower sauce and pickled peaches, I also helped to make a business on the other side, and with my uncle's guarantee there, our caramel candy was brought back. Anyway, we didn't need such fine ones, so we just shipped them back in a whole piece. It could be cheaper."

Zhao Shi scratched his head and smirked, "Next time, I will also make an agreement with my sister. I won't directly make it into lumps. It's just syrup. It's cheaper to save some firewood here. Oh, and , if this peach sauce is ready, it can be sold in the shop at my sister's side, they are so rare."

Gu Yu shouted excitedly, "Really!"

Jing Zhe chuckled, "Of course it's true. There aren't too many people who eat these things in this town, and few people in the village are willing to spend money to buy them. But it's different in the city. Those opera gardens It can be used, restaurants can be used, and it is indispensable for rich families. We bought caramel from over there, and the peaches here are also ready-made, and we can sell them over there when the time comes. How good it is."

They are all on their own. Now that the caramel has come back, the big guys have no time to do their own work. The big pots here are steaming non-stop, and the steamed ones are poured into the pot Mix it with caramel, and keep stirring it with a long wooden stick while burning a small fire. It is best not to stick to the pan.

Zhao Shi didn't go in to see it, and he couldn't stay in the main room, so he had to leave.Gu Yu and the others ruthlessly detained them, saying that at least they had dinner or something before leaving.

Zhao Shi laughed again, "Well... it's rare to go to the city, my sister brought me a lot of good things, and I didn't have much time, so I bought two pieces of cloth and silk flowers in the nearby shop. The two of you are still waiting for me to go back."

Seeing Zhao Shi like this, Gu Yu felt happy for her little aunt from the bottom of her heart, the hardships of the past few years were really not in vain, marrying such a person.Everyone stopped persuading him, and asked him to wait for a while. When the peach sauce was ready, he quickly packed it into a jar, and asked him to take it back and give it to the people over there to try it out.
