Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 92: Casting stones to ask for directions

Gu Wang said as she cleaned up, "Generally speaking, when the persimmons have been dried for three to five days, you can pinch them into the shape of dried persimmon cakes. Pinch them once a day and continue drying them. After that, turn them over and dry them for about ten days."

"When the persimmons have shrunk by half in size, their color has changed from golden yellow to a mature orange-red, and they have a slightly sweet aroma, you can proceed to the next step."

Gu Wangshi explained the next steps in detail. Gu Qingzhi listened with great interest and wanted to take a pen and paper to write it down. However, her memory was very good now and she could remember everything she saw. Similarly, she remembered it firmly in her mind after hearing it once.

I can't wait for the tenth day to come and the persimmons will be turned over and dried so I can move on to the next step.

After cleaning up, Gu Qingzhi looked at the persimmons hanging under the eaves and felt secretly happy. It was not difficult to make persimmon cakes. Think about the persimmon cakes that cost 2 cents each in the market, its medicinal value, and the many ways to eat it, and then think about the many wild persimmons in the mountains, Gu Qingzhi could not sit still.

Persimmon cakes can be preserved for a long time. It would be a waste to leave such resources unused.

"Mom, there are still so many wild persimmons on the mountain. Let's make more persimmon cakes."

In order to convince Mrs. Gu Wang, she listed the various benefits of persimmon cakes.

"Mother, the medical books record that persimmons have high nutritional value and contain a lot of substances that are good for our bodies. Moreover, the medical books also say that persimmons are sweet, cold and slightly astringent, and have a good effect of moistening the lungs and resolving phlegm, clearing away heat and detoxifying, and promoting the production of body fluids and quenching thirst."

Then she racked her brains to think of various ways to eat persimmon cakes. Of course, a large part of these were her experiences as a ghost in her previous life.

"Mother, dried persimmons can be used as medicine and taste good. They can be used as snacks in your spare time or used to make tea."

"For example, dried persimmons can be made into fruit tea with monk fruit. This kind of fruit tea has a light taste and a sweet aftertaste."

"Persimmons can also be boiled with ginger and red dates to make juice."

"Also, persimmons can be fried and eaten, or boiled with yam, coix seed and rice to make persimmon porridge. You can also take out the pulp and mix it with pea flour to make persimmon pea yellow. There are really many ways to eat persimmons."

As Gu Qingzhi spoke, she recalled the various food scenes she saw when she was a ghost in her previous life, and the saliva in her mouth kept secreting more and more.

Hey, I didn't trick my mother into it, but I made myself greedy.

She sucked her saliva. When will the persimmon cake be ready? She wanted to eat it so much!

Gu Wang was stunned after hearing what Gu Qingzhi said. Aren't persimmons eaten directly? How can they be used to make fruit tea and porridge?

But it sounds pretty good?

"Qing'er, tell me again what you did just now...Oh, no, I'm afraid I'll forget it. You should write it down for me so that I won't forget it."

Gu Qingzhi nodded quickly. These were minor issues. However, "Mother, do you agree that we should make more persimmon cakes?"

Gu Wang tapped her nose lightly and said unhappily, "Needless to say, you said that persimmon cakes have so many benefits and so many ways to make them, shouldn't we make more? Besides, it would be nice to make more and give them as gifts during the Chinese New Year."

Gu Qingzhi nodded repeatedly. Yes, that's right. She would wait for her brother to come back and tell him to pick more raw persimmons to make persimmon cakes tomorrow.

"However." Gu Wangshi paused.

Gu Qingzhi's heart tightened, and she asked anxiously, "But what, mother?"

Could it be that mother doesn’t want to make persimmon cakes anymore?

"If we want to make a lot of dried persimmons, I'm afraid there won't be enough space under the eaves to dry them."

Gu Qingzhi looked over and saw that it was true.

Today there are about 60 kilograms of persimmons. If we make this amount 4 or 5 more times, the eaves should be full of them.

She thought for a while and came up with an idea, "Mom, we can build a shed in the backyard to dry the vegetables, and that will solve the problem."

Anyway, the backyard is big, there is a lot of open space, it is more ventilated, and there is plenty of sunlight.

Gu Wang thought about it and thought that this was a good idea. "Okay, we'll see when the time comes."

After this topic came to an end, Gu Qingzhi started to tinker with other things.

Today she plans to make some roasted chestnuts and pecans.

Roasted nuts is also a good business, and she plans to send some to the Zhao Mansion to test the waters first.

Of course, her target is not just the Zhao Mansion, Manjiang Tower is her target.

The fried chestnuts she made last time gave her great confidence. She believed that as long as she had the chance, the fried nuts she made would be outstanding.

She also used the same recipe to fry the walnuts, but based on the last recipe, she thought of making some improvements to the recipe, and the result today is definitely more delicious.

Gu Qingzhi first ground the spices and placed them separately.

Then put the pecans in a large iron pan without water or oil, add salt, stir-fry over high heat for a few times, and then add various spices to the pan in turn, stirring constantly during the stir-frying process.

When you first start frying, the outer skin of the walnut will be coated with a layer of salt. When the salt falls off automatically, turn to low heat and continue frying for more than a quarter of an hour. At this time, the aroma of the walnut will be very strong. Turn off the heat and simmer for a while before you can take out the walnuts.

When the time was up, she took out the roasted walnuts and peeled one to try. It was really delicious, crispy and fragrant, not greasy, and tasted very good.

Gu Qingzhi gave some roasted walnuts to Gu Wangshi for tasting, and put the rest in a small basket, which had already been covered with oil paper and clean white cotton cloth.

Yesterday, Gu Qingzhi asked Gu Yan to help make a few small baskets like this.

She had this idea after seeing the small basket her brother gave her yesterday.

I asked my brother to make a few baskets, two large and two small. The two small baskets were slightly smaller than this one, but with handles and lids, and they were finely polished. They were prepared to be used to store roasted nuts.

Gu Qingzhi then went on to make roasted chestnuts, which she had just eaten a few days ago, so she didn’t make a lot of them.

As I said, you can eat it at home whenever you want, and it tastes better when it is freshly made.

She used these as a test to find the way.

Apart from keeping some for herself, Gu Qingzhi put the rest of the roasted chestnuts and roasted pecans into two exquisite small baskets with lids.

She told Gu Yan about her thoughts.

In her opinion, with the exquisite little basket and the delicious roasted nuts, it would be hard for Manager Zhao not to be tempted.

I have to praise the woven basket made by my brother. It is so exquisite and impeccable. Gu Qingzhi can't find any flaws at all. Whether it has a handle or a lid, it refreshes Gu Qingzhi's impression that woven baskets are just so-so.
