Chapter 41: Rock Sugar Gourd

When Lao Fang stood up and patted his butt and went home, the expression on his face was still a little confused. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

With his wood-like head, he can't figure it out for the time being, what is good about the red fruits that he doesn't like to eat that are not yet ripe and sour in the back mountain, what is it for his uncle to let him pick those things, and as for the reason why he is asked to cut bamboo, Lao Fang doesn't understand.

Soon, however, the look of confusion and confusion on his face vanished.

Thinking of the white rice and pork at home, all the doubts of the old party were thrown out of the clouds.

My uncle has great skills, and I have meat to eat with my uncle, and his words will not be wrong!

In the following days, Lao Fang's life began to become busy.

Not only Lao Fang, but also the bear children of the Fang family were ruthlessly deprived of time to play, and they could no longer follow a few bear children in the village every day, following behind their father, going to the back mountain in the morning, and coming back in the afternoon, often carrying a few bamboos on their shoulders.

Occasionally, some people will see Lao Fang going down the mountain before dawn every day, carrying a large bag of things back to the village at night, and not even letting go of the horse, mysteriously not knowing what he is doing.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and in the willow leaf village, no one has any secrets to speak of.

Soon, everyone knew what Fang Laosan had been making recently, what kind of rock sugar gourd it was, and a few bunches of hawthorn fruits could be taken out for sale.

Something like hawthorn is not worth much to the people of Liuye Village.

There is a large area of hawthorn forest in the back mountain, which belongs to the public property of the village, but even if the fruit is ripe every year, no one goes to pick it, this thing is not full, sour, the more you eat, the more hungry you are, and you eat too much and lose your teeth.

Only those gluttonous bear children will pick a few to satisfy their hunger every year when the fruit is ripe.

It's not that no one thinks about taking this thing to the mountain to sell, but first, because hawthorn is too common, the price is really low, and secondly, when the hawthorn is ripe, it is the time when the farm is busy, and leaving the work in the field to go to these crooked ways will be laughed at by everyone in the village.

Lao Fang is the object of everyone's ridicule.

What is delicious about hawthorn fruits, and those ignorant children in the village are interested in this, and there is nothing delicious and fun in Qing'an Fucheng, and it is strange that someone will spend money to buy these hawthorn fruits!

What a good job it is to herd horses, there is a full salary of 100 wen every month, and it is still possible to buy a few catties of rice, why don't you have to engage in these crooked ways?

However, soon, they realized that Fang Laosan's family didn't seem to be short of those catties of rice......

But this does not affect the ridicule of Lao Fang in their hearts.

When everyone has no big ideals and ambitions, and they feel at ease to be a salted fish and live like this for a lifetime, Lao Fang, a salted fish with dreams, is easy to attract the attention of others.

Everyone is a salted fish, just honestly face the loess with your back to the sky all your life, why do you have a dream?

As a result, Lao Fang's salted fish, which he wanted to reborn, soon became the talk of everyone in the village after dinner.

"Have you heard of it, Fang Laosan seems to be selling some rock sugar gourd......

"Crooked, he doesn't look at whether he is the material?"

"Hey, of course Fang Laosan couldn't think of this kind of idea, I heard that Ruyi's cheap husband came up with it."

"Hehe, what does that sour scholar know, I heard that he invested a lot of money in it this time, I'm waiting to see how he ends up then!"

Arguments like this have emerged in Liuye Village in the past few days, and even Li Yi has heard of it.

But for these gossips, he just listened, and after laughing, it passed, there are really a lot of people in the village who want to see his jokes, and sometimes he will sigh in his heart, Liu Ruyi sisters are in the village, it seems that they are enemies on all sides!

However, Xiaohuan was very angry about some accidentally overheard words, and Li Yi saw her pouting and babbling when she came back from outside several times.

"What do you know, the rock sugar gourd made by my uncle is delicious, and I will definitely be able to make a lot of money, and I will be angry with you when the time comes......"

The little maid has been with Sister Liu Ruyi since she was a child, and naturally she has endured the cold eyes of other clansmen in the Liu family, in order not to cause trouble to the young lady, she was wronged outside, and she can only endure it when she comes back.

This situation, after Li Yi's arrival, has changed a lot.

Now you don't have to worry about your livelihood all day long, you can hold your head high when you walk outside, my uncle is a really powerful person, no one in the village can compare, why do they laugh at my uncle?

What Li Yi didn't expect was that those rumors had no effect on him, but Lao Fang couldn't help it first.

"Uncle, what kind of rock sugar gourd is this, is anyone really willing to buy it?"

Until now, the old side still has doubts about the feasibility of this matter.

After all, it's just an ordinary hawthorn, even if it's wrapped in sugar on the outside, it's still a hawthorn!

Uncle gave him all the money, and if the money was wasted in the end, even if his uncle didn't blame him, he would be unhappy.

Seeing Lao Fang looking at him worriedly, Li Yi glanced at him and said, "If you are not sure, why don't I find someone else to do it?" Lao Wu came to me this morning and said that he wanted to try it too, why don't you rest and let him come? ”

Looking at the expression on Li Yi's face, Lao Fang's heart suddenly became steady.

The next moment, Lao Fang's face was immediately replaced with a signature honest smile, hugged Li Yi's shoulder, and said: "No need, no need, Lao Wu's guy has a tendon in his brain, not the material to do this, besides, what does I have to do with my uncle, don't forget that I caught my uncle in the first place!" ”

Seeing the big man surnamed Fang Han walking out with a smile, a few black lines appeared on Li Yi's face.

……

……

The rock sugar gourd is very simple to make, it does not require much preparation time, the frosting recipe has been bought from the mountain, and the hawthorn in August is not fully ripe, but it has little impact on the taste.

Under the guidance of Li Yi, the old party cut all the bamboo cut from the mountain into bamboo skewers of similar size, the edges were polished smooth, the bottom of the bamboo skewers was slightly wider, which was more suitable for handholding, and after the hawthorn fruit was seeded and coated with syrup, it was dipped in a little sesame seeds at the top, and Wan Hong was a little white from it, which looked more attractive.

Inserting all the sugar gourds into the rods made of wooden sticks and brooms, seeing the bear child next to him grunting and swallowing saliva, Lao Fang's heart had a little confidence.

took out a sugar gourd and handed it to him, and kicked the bear child's ass by the way: "Listen to your mother at home, and wait for Lao Tzu to come back at night......"

An hour later, on the crowded street of Qing'an Mansion, the honest man stood on the side of the road with a strange thing in his heart, hesitated for a long time, and only then did a decisive look appear on his face, and after a while, a voice full of anger came......

"Ice ~ sugar ~ gourd ~ reed!"

For a while, several eyes of the crowd on the street cast their eyes on.
