Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Of course, the roasted chestnuts also received great praise from Gu Wangshi, saying they were very fragrant and delicious! She had never eaten roasted chestnuts so delicious.

She thought her daughter was just joking, but she didn't expect that she really accomplished something big. When did her daughter become so capable!

First it was wine making, then beef jerky, and now it’s roasted chestnuts!

Gu Qingzhi saw Gu Wang eating and couldn't help but serve another bowl to satisfy her craving.

Finally, it was Gu Yan who stopped them, saying that eating too many roasted chestnuts could cause getting a sore throat. Only then did the mother and daughter stop reluctantly.

Gu Yan smiled and shook his head, "There's no need to rush to eat all of it at once. There are plenty of chestnuts on the mountain anyway. If you want to eat more, Qingqing can make them for us."

However, this pot can be eaten for a few days.

Gu Qingzhi blinked and agreed generously, "No problem. In fact, in addition to frying chestnuts, we can also fry walnuts and pine nuts." She kept swallowing her saliva as she spoke.

She even looked at Gu Yan and said, "How about I try roasting walnuts tomorrow!"

Gu Yan immediately understood, "Okay, let's pick more walnuts from the mountain tomorrow."

Gu Qingzhi was satisfied and thought that the boy was teachable.

There was still some time before dinner, so Gu Yan took a shovel and went to the backyard to dig a pond. Yesterday, he and his sister worked for half a day and only dug two acres. Today, he had to dig at least four acres, otherwise the pond would be too small for the fish to move around. There were still dozens of fish on the mountain waiting to be transported back.

Gu Qingzhi did not go with them to dig the pond. As soon as she came back, she was busy frying chestnuts. The wild chrysanthemums she picked on Dongfeng Mountain in the morning had not been processed yet. She had to process them as soon as possible, otherwise they would wilt.

She just went to check on those that were processed yesterday. The drying effect was quite good. If the good weather continues for a few days, all of them will be dried in another two or three days. After drying, they are estimated to weigh about one kilogram.

Just when the family was busy with their own things, the brothers Gu Ren and Gu Da came to the door.

They explained to Gu Wang who opened the door, "Aunt Yun, we are here to deliver a basket to Brother Yan."

After receiving Gu Yan's order yesterday, Gu Chen's family worked in a hurry. The six or seven family members at home joined in the work and were busy until just now. They finally finished making the five baskets that Gu Yan wanted. Gu Chen was afraid that Gu Yan would need them urgently, so he quickly asked the two brothers to deliver them over.

Gu Wangshi...

She had heard Erlang mention this before, but this family was moving too fast!

"Erlang is in the backyard. You guys come in first and I'll go call him."

Gu Ren put the basket in the yard and hurriedly stopped Gu Wangshi, "Aunt Yun, no need, we can just go to the backyard and talk to Brother Yan."

Gu Wangshi thought about it and decided that it was a good idea. After all, they were cousins, so she could just let them go by themselves, and nodded in agreement.

Gu Ren and Gu Da greeted Gu Qingzhi in the yard. Although they were a little confused as to why their cousin had been cutting wild chrysanthemums, they did not think too much about it and walked quickly to the backyard.

There was a reason why Gu Ren suggested going directly to the backyard to find Gu Yan. In addition to talking to Gu Yan about the basket, they also wanted to see how the sick donkey was doing.

After hearing the donkey's origin, they became curious about it. This sick donkey should not be brought in for food, after all, it had been several days. But, could its illness be cured?

curious.

The two brothers hurried to the backyard, but found no one in the donkey shed.

Looking around, I noticed some movement coming from the southeast corner.

Then, they saw Gu Yan wielding a shovel to dig the soil.

Gu Yan was working so hard that he didn't notice the arrival of the Gu Ren brothers.

Gu Da hurried over and asked Gu Yan, who was shoveling dirt in the pit, "Brother Yan, what are you doing?"

Gu Yan heard a familiar voice and looked up. It was Brother Gu Ren. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead and said, "Brother Ren, Brother Da, why are you here?"

Gu Ren smiled and said, "The basket is ready. Dad asked us to send it to you."

Then he asked, "Brother Yan, what are you doing?"

“Dig a pond.”

Compared to Gu Yan's understatement, the Gu Ren brothers were shocked. Dig a pond!

After being surprised, Gu Da became curious, "Why did Brother Yan think of digging a pond?"

I envy Uncle Cheng’s big backyard. He can dig a pond whenever he wants. He is so willful.

Gu Yan simply said, "Nothing, it's just that my sister wants to raise some fish and plant some lotus flowers."

"Put the basket in the yard first. If you need more, I'll tell Uncle Shen."

"I'm going to be busy here for a while, sorry I can't see you off."

Gu Ren glanced at his brother and said, "Let's help."

There is nothing to do at home anyway, and Yandi has given them such a good job.

They are not the kind of people who would not repay a favor.

Before Gu Yan could react, the two brothers ran out.

Soon they returned carrying hoes and shovels.

Seeing the two of them jump down directly, Gu Yan, who was about to say no, shut up.

Forget it, with their help, the progress of digging the pond can be faster. I will send something to Uncle Shen’s house tomorrow to express my gratitude.

The three brothers have been working hard to dig the pond.

Gu Qingzhi even went to take a look at the backyard out of curiosity. Just now, her two cousins ​​came out and asked where the hoe and shovel were, so she pointed. Unexpectedly, they took them and walked to the backyard.

What were they doing?

She went to the backyard and saw that she and her brother were digging a pond!

Gu Qingzhi told this to Gu Wangshi, who understood and said, "These two brothers are great. Let's keep them for dinner tonight."

Gu Qingzhi shook her head and said, "Mother, I don't think my cousins ​​would be willing to stay for dinner."

Gu Wangshi thought so too. The children of Gu Chen's family were very polite and sensible. They probably wouldn't be willing to stay. "Then..."

"We still have a lot of roasted chestnuts. Let's pack some for them to take back home."

This thing is available everywhere in the mountains and is not worth much, so I guess they won't refuse it.

Gu Wang couldn't help but look at her daughter with admiration, "You are really thoughtful, let's do it this way."

As night fell, Gu Wangshi asked the two brothers to stay for dinner. Gu Ren and Da Geer declined, so she did not force them. She just took out a paper bag and handed it to them, "Ren Geer, Da Geer, this is the roasted chestnuts we just made this afternoon. Take it back and try it."

When they heard that it was chestnuts, the two of them did not refuse and took the paper package.

As for chestnuts, there are plenty of them in the mountains at this time of year and they are not worth much.

Gu Yan checked the baskets brought by the two men one by one. Even brothers should settle accounts clearly, and this also affected their future work.

After the inspection, Gu Yan was very satisfied. Thinking that his sister would need some baskets to dry wild chrysanthemums, he placed an order for twenty baskets when sending the two brothers out, and also paid half of the deposit.

As for the cost of the baskets, I paid it on the spot when we agreed on it yesterday.

Originally, Gu Chen was unwilling to accept it, saying that there was no such rule and that half of the deposit should be paid first and the remaining half would be paid after receiving the goods.
