Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Gu Qingzhi looked through the account book. The pocket money she gave to her brother was always 500 coins each time. She had given it to him three times for every three sales. After deducting the expenses, there was still 67 strings of silver left during this period, and a silver note worth 3000 taels!

Among them, there were 62 taels of silver, and the rest were copper coins.

It was really unexpected that they only went to the market to sell goods three times.

No one would believe it if you told them.

However, the bulk of the money comes from selling game, and fruits only account for a very small part. No wonder my brother has to spend a lot of energy to reinforce and repair those traps every time he goes to Xizi Mountain. They are simply golden traps.

After Gu Qingzhi finished the calculation, her heart was pounding. She walked out of the house and saw her brother squeezing honey in the yard. Her eyes lit up, thinking that this was good stuff.

There were four cans of squeezed honey next to her, and it looked like she could squeeze one more. She thought of the beehives on the mountain and felt very excited. She wouldn't have to worry about honey at home this year.

Gu Qingzhi saw Gu Wangshi washing osmanthus flowers by the well and hurried over to ask, "Mother, when are you going to make sweet osmanthus sauce? And osmanthus cakes? Oh, and we picked some wild persimmons too."

Gu Wangshi carefully washed the osmanthus flowers on her hands and said softly, "Don't worry about the persimmon cakes. I'll deal with these osmanthus flowers first and make osmanthus cakes in a while. It's just right for dinner. How do you think?"

Gu Qingzhi was very happy to hear this. She could finally eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she had been longing for. "I will listen to mother."

"Well, didn't you say you wanted to eat tofu soup? Let's have this tonight, along with osmanthus cakes. Heat up the roasted rabbit you brought back, and make some multi-grain porridge and some wild vegetables."

Mrs. Gu Wang made detailed arrangements for dinner.

Gu Qingzhi was very happy as she had everything she wanted to eat.

She took out all the herbs she had dug today, cleaned them, and then processed them.

If these herbs are sold directly, the purchase price is very low, but if they are processed, the price will be very different.

This is also what she heard the medicine boy say that day.

Of course, not everyone can make it.

Of course, Gu Qingzhi wants to maximize the value of herbs.

Coincidentally, the book "Collection of Medicinal Herbs" actually contains methods for preparing and preserving various medicinal materials, and she learned and used them at the same time.

The three of them were busy in the yard, all in harmony with each other.

The next day, Gu Qingzhi rarely followed Gu Yan up the mountain, because Gu Yan told her that there were not many wild fruits that needed to be picked. The two families only ordered 400 kilograms of goods in total, and he could pick them all by himself.

Gu Qingzhi thought about it and decided to stay and learn how to make persimmon cakes from Gu Wangshi.

Raw persimmons are used to make persimmon cakes.

The skin of raw persimmons is firm and will not be damaged by being scratched.

Gu Wangshi told Gu Qingzhi that the time for picking raw persimmons for making persimmon cakes should not be too early, but naturally not too late either.

Because persimmons picked too early have more water and less sugar, the persimmon cakes made from them will be astringent and unpalatable, while persimmon cakes picked too late will be too soft and difficult to store.

Now, the wild persimmons on the mountain are golden in color with a hint of red, and this is the best time to pick them.

If the picking time is right, the persimmon cakes made will be sweet and a little astringent, and you will have an endless aftertaste after taking a bite.

Gu Qingzhi listened with an open mind. It turned out that there was so much knowledge involved in making persimmon cakes. She had previously thought that persimmons from any season would do.

I have learned a lesson.

However, there were definitely no ripe persimmons on the branches, as they had all been picked by my brother and sold.

Seeing that Gu Qingzhi listened attentively, Gu Wangshi was happy and explained in more detail, "In fact, the method of making persimmon cakes is also very simple. Peel the outer skin of the persimmons you picked and only keep the calyx and stalk."

"Don't throw away the peeled persimmon skin, it will be of great use later."

As Gu Wangshi was talking, she picked up a persimmon and demonstrated how to peel it. Gu Qingzhi watched and learned how to peel it. They each had a basin, and soon they had processed all the persimmons to make persimmon cakes in this way.

Then, Gu Wang took out the hemp ropes that she had prepared yesterday. Each of these hemp ropes was about two meters long.

"Qingqing, watch carefully. I am going to tie the persimmons tightly with hemp rope from the stalk to the calyx."

Gu Qingzhi watched Gu Wangshi tying persimmons one after another very quickly, and soon she had finished tying a hemp rope.

She counted carefully and found that A Niang had tied about twenty persimmons on a hemp rope.

After tying the bunch of persimmons, Gu Wangshi told Gu Qingzhi that the persimmons needed to be placed in a ventilated place, preferably hung under the eaves, which would ensure ventilation and sufficient sunlight.

She asked Gu Qingzhi to bring a round stool over, stepped on it, and casually hung the bunch of persimmons under the eaves.

Gu Qingzhi said that she had learned it and also picked up the hemp rope to tie it up.

She took a peeled persimmon and tied it tightly with a hemp rope from the stalk at the calyx. Then she took the second peeled persimmon, and so on. At the beginning, her movements were a little unfamiliar, and the hemp rope was not tied properly. She pulled it again and again. After tying a few persimmons, she gradually gained experience and her movements gradually became faster. When she finished tying a hemp rope, her movements had become very skilled and experienced.

Gu Qingzhi was too young to hang it under the eaves, so Gu Wangshi reached out and took it. She carefully looked at the knot her daughter had tied and praised, "Qingqing tied it well."

She stepped onto the round stool and hung the bunch of persimmons on it.

Before long, bunches of persimmons were hung under the eaves. From a distance, it looked like a festive door curtain. It was so beautiful that Gu Qingzhi was fascinated by it.

A sense of pride arose in her heart, this was done by her and her mother together!

Then, Gu Wangshi took her to process the persimmon peels, which were very useful in the later production of persimmon cakes.

The two men put the collected persimmon peels in a large winnowing basket and took them to the yard to dry.

Gu Wangshi said, "After the persimmon peels are dried, they should be packed in burlap bags and stored in a dry place."

Gu Qingzhi was puzzled. "Mother, you just said that these persimmon peels are very useful. What are they used for?"

Gu Wang said mysteriously, "You will know this later."

Seeing her mother's mysterious look, Gu Qingzhi did not ask any more questions. She would know the answer in the future anyway. However, "Mom, is the persimmon cake ready now?"

Gu Wang shook her head and let out a sigh, "Now, this persimmon cake can only be said to be half done."

Gu Qingzhi asked, "Then what else do we need to do now?"

Gu Wang replied, "Now, we just need to reach out and pinch the persimmons every day when we pass by the eaves, until the originally hard persimmons become soft under the wind and frost, then we can proceed to the next step."
