064 Convince Aunt Zhang

Gu Xiaowan explained calmly: "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, it's really delicious. It's delicious. The stomach will be uncomfortable because it is not handled properly. Bamboo shoots are oily, and sometimes the more you eat, the more hungry you will be. However, I naturally have a way to make it a delicious dish.”

"What can I do?" Aunt Zhang asked eagerly.

"Aunt Zhang, I can't tell you for the time being. I came here today because I want Brother Shitou to go with me to dig bamboo shoots in the mountains. Dig a little more. At that time, the bamboo shoots will definitely sell for a high price, and then Brother Shitou will sell some bamboo shoots. , I will definitely make a fortune." Gu Xiaowan said firmly.

"Girl Gu, do you think this bamboo shoot can really sell for money?" Uncle Zhang had eaten that thing, it was astringent, it was really not tasty, and after eating it, his stomach was rumbling all day, very uncomfortable. Haven't eaten since then.

"Really, Uncle Zhang, you have to trust me!" Gu Xiaowan said decisively: "So I came over and asked Brother Shitou to dig some bamboo shoots and put them at home, so that they can be sold at that time. If it really can't be sold, Aunt Zhang , I will tell you how to cook these bamboo shoots, it is delicious and hungry, and it can be used as a dish, do you think it will work?"

After listening to Gu Xiaowan's words, Aunt Zhang's heart suddenly became enlightened, where did she come to ask Shitou to help, this is simply to ask Shishi to make money. If Gu Xiaowan really knew how to make bamboo shoots delicious, she could take her brothers and sisters to dig up bamboo shoots by herself, and then sell them.

Aunt Zhang's heart was like a mirror, and she immediately understood what Gu Xiaowan said.

Aunt Zhang was grateful and relieved. I am grateful for the fact that since the passing of Gu Chuanfu and his wife, I have occasionally helped these two 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 that their children are so conscientious.

"Mother, I'll go!" In fact, before Gu Xiaowan finished speaking, Xiao Shishi had already decided to dig bamboo shoots. Hearing what Gu Xiaowan said, the bamboo shoots that are dug out can still be sold for money. Even if they can't sell for money, they can still be taken back and eaten at home. Bamboo shoots are everywhere on the mountain, and no villagers dig them. At home, it can be considered a lot of food.

Of course, the little stone went happily.

"It's just..." Uncle Zhang, who was on the side, didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something. Seeing that everyone had finished speaking, Uncle Zhang said, "At this time, the weather is so cold, and the bamboo shoots will be warmer after spring. It will only grow after the spring rain, what bamboo shoots are you going to dig at this time?"

Aunt Zhang was stunned. Just now, she only asked Gu Xiaowan if they had eaten or not, and what they were eating. When they heard that they said they didn't care about eating bamboo shoots, they only thought that they should not be eaten, but they never thought that this time was a big winter. , where did the bamboo shoots come from?

After hearing Uncle Zhang say this, he asked, "Yes, there are no bamboo shoots at this time."

"Haha" Gu Xiaowan burst into a smile: "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, don't worry, we can definitely dig bamboo shoots."

Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang looked at each other, and when they saw Gu Xiaowan's confident look, they stopped talking.

"Brother Stone, hurry up and eat, we'll wait for you at home."

Little Stone quickly waved his hand: "No, I'll go with you all the way."

After he finished speaking, he took the hoe and the 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 up his tools. Seeing Gu Xiaowan and the others coming, the group of five entered the bamboo forest again.

In the bamboo forest, Gu Xiaowan first taught Xiao Shi how to find bamboo shoots buried in the soil, and then taught him how to dig. Xiao Shi was used to farm work. After learning and reading it once, he had a general idea. As soon as he touched it, and his strength was great, the speed of digging bamboo shoots could catch up with the four sisters and brothers of the Gu family.

After a busy afternoon, the small stones filled a basket, and Gu Xiaowan and the others also filled a basket. It's just that Xiao Shi's basket is bigger than Gu Xiaowan's. This basket is full, and the winter bamboo shoots probably weigh 40 to 50 pounds.

"Brother Shito, put all the bamboo shoots away when you go back. If someone asks you, don't say anything, you know?" Gu Xiaowan urged. In this business, the first person to eat crabs is a hero, and the first person to do business is also a hero.

Although Xiao Shishi looked introverted, his heart was very sensitive. After hearing Gu Xiaowan's advice, he understood what was going on and nodded. After saying goodbye to the four sisters and brothers of the Gu family, they went home with the basket on their backs.

When the brothers and sisters of the Gu family returned home, they dumped the bamboo shoots dug in the afternoon and the bamboo shoots dug at noon together, and they weighed more than fifty kilograms.

After Gu Xiaowan finished dinner and washed Gu Xiaoyi, Gu Xiaowan felt like her whole body was falling apart.

For an eight-year-old girl, digging up bamboo shoots for a day is not an easy task.

Gu Xiaowan was lying in the new quilt, only to feel that her entire waist was about to break off.

Today I'm not bending over to dig winter bamboo shoots, or I'm bending over looking for winter bamboo shoots. I've been scratching on the ground for a day, and I've been half-bent all the time. Do you think this waist can't be sore?

At this moment, Gu Xiaowan felt melancholy in her heart.

A child without a father and mother is suffering. Gu Xiaowan turned her head and looked at the three younger siblings who were already tired and lethargic, feeling sour in her heart. Especially the youngest Gu Xiaoyi, who was looking around on the ground covered with bamboo leaves today. Gu Xiaoyi was already young, and in the bamboo forest there were still some bamboo pockets that were cut down, buried in the dead leaves.

Xiao Yi didn't understand, and was often tripped over by the bamboo bag, but she didn't say a word of bitterness, but a word of tiredness.

Still carefully and earnestly looking for winter bamboo shoots.

Ugh.

Gu Xiaowan felt uncomfortable. A child who was only four years old in the previous life, who didn't act like a spoiled child in the arms of his parents, even the food was fed by his parents. There are also Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping. At the age of six, they should be able to read and read in school, but unfortunately, they have no money at home, so they can't read or go to school.
