Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

The unique flavor made everyone present give thumbs up to express their praise.

At noon, Gu Jingshu and his group returned home.

At this time, Gu Qingzhi asked Wang about Aunt Manxiu's study of silk flowers in the morning.

Wang nodded slightly to show her approval: "Xiu Jie is very good!

He is gentle, patient and a quick learner.

In my opinion, in two days, she should be able to make silk flowers on her own."

Hearing this, Gu Qingzhi was overjoyed, hugged Wang's arm, and said happily: "That's great! This way, mother, you don't have to be so busy."

Wang smiled and scolded: "You are just talking nonsense, what have you been busy with?

It’s just that the small desktop screen that I promised to make for Madam Chen needs to be made as soon as possible.”

In the afternoon, Gu Qingzhi first took a pile of medicinal herbs to dry in the sun, and then started to process the green olives.

Brother Hao, we picked a lot of green olives yesterday.

For these green olives, Gu Qingzhi plans to try making three flavors first - candied olives, licorice olives and salty olives.

However, before doing this, the green olives must be soaked in salt water for a period of time to remove their bitter taste.

After the green olives have finished soaking, pick them up, drain the water, and place them in a well-ventilated place to dry before proceeding to the next step.

Next, start making the candied olives, which is the easiest.

First, place the olives neatly in a clean jar, covering each layer of olives with a layer of icing sugar, and repeat this process to ensure that each olive is evenly coated with icing sugar.

Finally, add an appropriate amount of vinegar to fully blend it.

Gu Qingzhi doesn’t like things that are too sour, so the amount of vinegar added here is just right, not excessive.

After finishing this one, she started on the next one without stopping.

In the end, three flavors were made in total, and a jar was made for each flavor.

Among them, the preparation method of candied olives is the easiest, but you need to wait ten days before you can enjoy them.

In comparison, the production process of liquorice olives and salty olives is slightly more complicated, especially liquorice olives.

First, the green olives need to be soaked in salt water for a period of time and then blanched.

The specific method is to blanch the green olives in boiling water for a while, then quickly soak them in cold water to lower the temperature, and then dry them for later use.

The next step is to cook the licorice liquid. First, add water, licorice, sugar and salt into a large iron pot, and simmer over low heat for about half an hour.

After that, take out the licorice and put the blanched green olives into the cooked licorice liquid, letting them soak fully until the water temperature gradually cools down.

The last step is to pour the green olives and licorice liquid into a jar that has been sterilized by high-temperature steaming, tightly cover the lid, and let the green olives soak in it for more than a whole day. Then they can be eaten.

This is the method that can produce results the fastest.

Although the production process of licorice olives seems complicated, it can be eaten relatively quickly, so Gu Qingzhi is full of expectations for the taste.

She thought to herself that she must stock up more licorice next time.

After all, licorice is not only a good medicine, but also has the reputation of "the king of all medicines". It can also remove the toxicity of various drugs, and its meaning also represents "detoxification".

Because it can harmonize hundreds of medicines, it has the beautiful meaning of "harmony and mediation", and is indeed a rare and precious medicinal material.

After dinner, Gu Yan handed today's accounts to Gu Qingzhi.

Gu Qingzhi asked Gu Yan with concern: "Brother, how is the price negotiation going at the mountain goods store?"

Gu Yan chuckled and replied confidently: "With my brother's help, it will naturally... work!"

"How much did you talk about?" Gu Qingzhi looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"Wild grapes are 10 wen per pound, and persimmons are 8 wen per pound."

"Wow! It's so high." Gu Qingzhi was extremely surprised. She never expected that she could negotiate a price higher than expected.

"Brother is awesome!" Gu Qingzhi exclaimed.

"Okay, go to bed early. I'll accompany you to Xizi Mountain tomorrow." Gu Yan said with a smile.

"Will the people from the mountain goods store also go to Xizi Mountain tomorrow?" Gu Qingzhi asked curiously.

"They probably won't go there for a few days. There are still some fruits over at Dongfeng Mountain that need to be processed." Gu Yan replied.

The next morning, just after the first day of the Mao period, a group of three people and a donkey set out on their journey to Xizi Mountain.

Along the way, Gu Qingzhi carefully observed the conditions on the mountain and was surprised to find that Xizi Mountain was indeed very different from before.

Many places that were previously invisible are now clearly visible before our eyes. I think this is probably due to the collapse caused by heavy rain washing the ground.

Today's main task is to collect herbs, followed by setting up and repairing reinforced traps.

The route they took was still the same one that Gu Yan took the day before when he repaired the trap, but the difference from last time was that there was one more person this time - Gu Qingzhi.

What is surprising is that even though he had walked there once, with Gu Qingzhi by his side, Gu Yan still found some precious medicinal herbs that he missed that day.

Not only that, the pheasants and rabbits seemed to be risking their lives and pounced on Gu Qingzhi.

Not long after entering Xizi Mountain, they had already reaped a rich harvest: a basket of rare medicinal herbs, four fat rabbits and five fresh pheasants.

Of course, after hanging all these things on the donkey's back, Gu Qingzhi couldn't help but sigh: "What a bad idea, brother!

Given the situation, we should have brought a cart up here."

Hearing the annoyance in his sister's tone, Gu Yan shook his head and chuckled, thinking: Who could have expected that the animals in the mountains would become closer to Gu Qingzhi?

My sister is so attractive!

Not far away, Gu Hao's excited shout was heard again: "Brother, sister, come here quickly!

There is another large patch of Panax notoginseng here!"

The two smiled at each other, quickened their pace at the same time, and responded: "Coming!"

Near noon, Gu Yan led the two to a hillside near a stream.

All I saw below was a slowly flowing stream, and the vegetation that originally grew on both sides had been washed away.

Obviously, this was the result of the heavy rain a few days ago.

"Let's take a break here!"

"Yeah, okay!" Gu Qingzhi and Gu Hao responded in unison.

"By the way, what do you two want to eat?" Gu Yan looked at them and asked.

To be honest, she was a little tired of barbecue, having just eaten roasted lamb leg yesterday, so she decided to try a different flavor.

"Brother, I want to eat beggar's chicken, is that ok?"

"Okay, where's Brother Hao?"

"Brother, did you bring a clay pot and rice this morning? We can have fish porridge!"
