180 Grocery Store

Because Aunt Zhang's house is larger and it's in a remote corner, no one will come over on weekdays, and the venue is huge.

Gu Xiaowan planned to bring all the bamboo shoots to Aunt Zhang's house, peeled, cut into strips, boiled and dried.

After explaining all the procedures to the big guys, everyone in the family started to do it.

Gu Xiaoyi, Gu Ningping, and Shi Shi were responsible for peeling the bamboo shoots. Uncle Zhang was responsible for cutting them into strips. After Aunt Zhang washed them with clean water, they put them in a pot and boiled them. After they were cooked, they were picked up and dried in the sun.

A few baskets of bamboo shoots, a few people have been busy all afternoon, all of them are very busy.

"The weather has been good these few days, and it is estimated that it will dry in four or five days!" Gu Xiaowan said happily, looking at the bamboo shoots all over the yard.

"Xiao Wan, can this really be sold?" Although Aunt Zhang had been busy for a long time, she still couldn't believe it.

"Aunt Zhang, don't worry, you can definitely sell it! Besides, the price is definitely not low! After drying, I will cook a plate for you to taste, and you will know the taste of it naturally. The fresh bamboo shoots and Sun-dried bamboo shoots have their own advantages in taste. The longest fresh bamboo shoots can only be stored for a month, and dried into dried bamboo shoots, but they can be eaten for a year." Gu Xiaowan replied.

"Oh!" Everyone present suddenly realized, looking at the bamboo shoots in the yard, they didn't know how happy they were.

After the busy work was over, it was getting dark. Gu Xiaowan originally planned to go back to cook, but Aunt Zhang disagreed, so she just left Gu Xiaowan and the others to go back after dinner.

For a few days, Gu Xiaowan and Aunt Zhang's family all divided the labor and cooperated, digging bamboo shoots, digging bamboo shoots, and drying dried bamboo shoots. After a few days of work, the first batch of dried bamboo shoots have dried.

Gu Xiaowan showed her skills and made a plate of dried bamboo shoots and roasted pork. All of them were eaten heartily. The dried bamboo shoots were chewy and tasted good. It was indeed a good ingredient.

"Aunt Zhang, let's drag these dried bamboo shoots to the town tomorrow and sell them!" Gu Xiaowan said, looking at the dried bamboo shoots that had been packed and sorted.

"Yes! Let's go to town early tomorrow morning!"

They made an appointment with each other. In the early morning of the second day, Gu Xiaowan followed Aunt Zhang and the others into the town again as before, but this time, Gu Xiaowan had a good eye. After she got home, she cooked another plate of dried bamboo shoots and roasted pork. , was also brought with him.

Aunt Zhang felt strange and asked the reason, Gu Xiaowan replied: "You have never eaten this kind of thing, and you must not know how to make it or what it will taste like. I will just get a plate and give them a taste. The taste is good, they will definitely accept it, and they will definitely pay a lot of money!"

Seeing that Gu Xiaowan was so careful, Aunt Zhang couldn't help nodding her head in praise: "Girl Wan, what you think is really thoughtful!"

The group took the ox cart and rushed to the town. Gu Xiaowan directly asked them to drive the ox cart to the place where the pheasants were sold last time. She planned to find the old man Min.

Shitou used to sell mountain goods there, and he knew the way, and he came to the grocery store.

Just like last time, a guy in the grocery store was busy. Old Man Min was smoking a big cigarette bag and squinting at the door to bask in the sun.

Seeing the person here, the old man opened his eyes and saw that it was the little girl who came here last time to sell pheasants and despised him for the lack of breeds here. After a few months, she looked even better than last time.

"Oh, little girl, long time no see!" Old Man Min sat up straight, holding the cigarette bag in his hand, greeting him warmly.

"Old uncle, do you still remember me?" Gu Xiaowan hurriedly stepped forward and called sweetly.

Old Man Min smoked his cigarette bag and said with a smile: "Can I not know you? You are the first person to say that I don't have a lot of small goods here!"

Gu Xiaowan was a little embarrassed when she saw that Old Man Min still remembered what he said before: "Old uncle, I just said it casually, don't take it seriously!"

"Hey, little girl, what are you talking about? How can I not be true!" Old Man Min blew his beard and said, "I was just thinking, I've been selling groceries for so many decades, and it's just a matter of selling them. It seems that there are really few things. Little girl, do you have any good things? "

Gu Xiaowan smiled: "Old uncle, you really guessed right, this time, I really have something good for you!"

"Really?" Old Man Min was a little excited when he heard Gu Xiaowan's club like this. He didn't even smoke his cigarette bag, and put it on the small table next to him, standing up, "I don't have one here?"

"Well, you don't have it here!" Gu Xiaowan said with a firm attitude: "Since I said that your place is small and you don't sell many things, then what I brought is definitely something you don't have here!"

"That's good, hurry up, bring it over and show it to me!" Old Man Min believed in Gu Xiaowan very much. Seeing that this little girl had something she didn't have here, she couldn't help being a little excited.

"Don't worry, old uncle, I'm not in a hurry to show you something, I've made a little, you can taste it first!" Gu Xiaowan took out the large bowls wrapped in cloth bags on the ox cart. , in order not to let the dishes inside get cold. When she took it out, she opened the cloth bag, and the dish was still steaming!

Old Man Min glanced at it, stretched out his thumb, and praised: "You little girl, you have a lot of ideas, and you are still very careful, you even brought it here for the old man to taste, very good, bring it over and let me taste it. Have a taste!"

Old Man Min sandwiched a piece, and there were two kinds of things in it, one was meat, which he knew, and the other, which he had never smelled or seen before, was curious.

Old Man Min took a piece and didn't rush to eat it: "What is this?"

"Old uncle, try it first, and I'll tell you after you've tasted it!" Gu Xiaowan flexibly rolled her eyes and sold it for a while, still hanging on to Old Man Min's curiosity.

"You girl, you are quite clever!" Old Man Min nodded approvingly at Gu Xiaowan.

After taking a bite, Old Man Min wiped his mouth, even his eyes were shining, and said three times, "Not bad, not bad! The taste is very good, um, very good, I have never tasted it."

Old Man Min ate a few more pieces, and he looked so satisfied that he didn't even notice a drop of oil on his beard.

Seeing that Old Man Min agreed with the dried bamboo shoots, Aunt Zhang and Shitou both felt relieved. But Gu Xiaowan on the side was not worried at all.
