Interstellar boss dressed as a peasant girl and became rich

Chapter 14 Gu Wu and his wife’s thoughts
He thought again and thought that Gu Yu might have been a koi carp in his previous life, which is why he would be so lucky in this life.

After whispering with Yang, this idea was approved by Yang.

Gu Yu looked helplessly at the sky: That's all, thinking this way is better than her lying one lie after another.

Yang and Gu Yu discussed for a while and decided to try to make the simplest cold noodle according to the instructions in the book to see if they could succeed.

As for complex dishes such as braised pork, I no longer have meat at home, so I can only cook it next time when there is meat.

Gu Yu compared the contents in the book, found out the required items one by one, and started making them with Yang.

Put the flour into a wooden basin, add an appropriate amount of salt, knead it into a dough, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Then put the dough in a large container, add water and start washing the gluten. Keep kneading the dough in the water. When the water becomes turbid, filter it into another container with a filter. Repeat this process five or six times until the water is no longer turbid and all that is left is gluten.

The resulting batter is allowed to sit and separate, usually for at least 3 hours. While waiting for precipitation, Yang went to the vegetable garden to pick home-grown cucumbers and cut them into shreds for later use. She also prepared chili oil, a little sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic water, and pickled cabbage water (add ingredients according to personal taste) .

After the precipitation is completed, pour out the water above, stir the precipitation below evenly with a spoon, pour water into the hot pot, wait until the water boils, pour the batter into a small basin, and then put it into a steamer over medium heat. Steam until the dough is semi-soft and not sticky to your hands.

Use a spoon to scrape out an appropriate amount of dough, and quickly use an oiled rolling pin to roll it into a dough slightly smaller than the size of a steamer or basket. Apply rapeseed oil to each piece of dough, repeat the process, and stack the dough sheets one by one into the basket. After putting it in the basket, steam it over high heat for about 45 minutes. After it cools down, separate the pieces of dough to form dough.

Youyu didn't have a mold, so he had to use this method to make it.

Yang looked at the twenty or so pieces of Liangpi in front of her, and her excitement was beyond words: "Yu'er, this is real, it's really a recipe!"

A few days ago, she was worried because there was no brine recipe at home and she was unable to marinate meat and offal. Now her daughter took out such a recipe book, and the surprise came suddenly.

Gu Wu came over to take a look and said excitedly: "Mom Yu'er, please mix a bowl for me and taste it."

Yang happily picked up the bowl and listened to the ingredients instructions in Gu Yu's book. He mixed three bowls and took a bite himself: the texture was chewy, and with special seasonings, it was sour and spicy, leaving people with endless aftertaste.

Gu Yu ate one bowl and wanted to eat more, so Yang accompanied her with three bowls. As a cook all the time, she had already mastered the required ingredients. This time, she mixed a large bowl and said, "Serve yourself as much as you want."

Gu Yu filled a bowl, and after eating it in big gulps, she ate three more bowls before she felt comfortable in her stomach. She sighed with satisfaction: This taste is a thousand times better than the cold skin she had in her previous life. She prefers Yang's. This taste.

Gu Wu also ate three large bowls, and sat lazily on the bench, with the same posture as Gu Yu, and said with emotion: "Oh my god, I have never eaten such delicious food in my half-life."

He continued with some joy: "When I sent Yu'er to a private school to learn calligraphy, many people asked me what I wanted. I can tell them now that what I wanted was for my daughter to be literate, not be deceived, and be able to read. Understand the words in books.”

The purpose of sending his daughter to a private school to learn literacy was that he hoped that when she grew up, she would not be like him, a reckless man who was illiterate.

Just in case when you look at the receipt that day, you don’t have to worry about being deceived by those evil-hearted people.

I don’t even want to be like myself, facing the loess and back to the sky, busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, working from morning to night. Not to mention how well you are respected in the village if you are literate, if you work part-time in the town during the off-season, the work assigned by others will be much easier.

When he sent his daughter to private school, the villagers laughed at him behind his back as they saw him sending her off and picking her up again. Now... hum, my daughter can read and buy books, and she has obtained recipes that wealthy families may not necessarily get.

Others, not because Gu Wu was bragging and put the book in front of him, may not necessarily know what is written on it. It's a pity that he had something to do with his daughter dropping out of school. If there was no corvee incident that year, would her daughter have taken the imperial examination like her classmates? After all, her daughter's knowledge is not bad at all.

Yang felt uncomfortable thinking about the hardships in her early years. But it's all over now. With this recipe book, my daughter will definitely not be sad in the future.

Gu Yu also felt a soreness in her nose when she thought of the days when Gu Wu sent her to a private school regardless of rain or shine.

In ancient times, because printing was not yet popular, all books had to be copied or copied by hand. Paper was expensive and books were rare.

A book can often be sold for one or two taels, or even more than ten taels of silver.

In a year, if the weather is good, a farmer may earn seven, eight, or ten taels of silver. If the harvest is not good that year, the food will barely be enough to eat.

Gu Wu and Yang are both capable people. Why haven't they saved much money over the years? This is because studying in ancient times was not compulsory education in the original world. Going to school required paying a large fee, and gifts to the master during the holidays were required. Annual ceremony.

After all calculations, the price of studying is prohibitive for farmers.

She spent a lot of money on her alone, and her parents haven't even bought any new clothes to wear.

Gu Yu said with sincerity in her guilt: "Mom and dad, my daughter will work hard to make money so that her parents can live a good life."

Seeing his daughter's unprecedented seriousness, Gu Wu felt that her daughter seemed to have grown up at this moment, and agreed with a smile: "Okay, my parents will wait for Yu'er to make a lot of money, so that they can enjoy happiness."

Later, when Gu Yu was asked if he wanted to return to private school, Gu Yu refused without even thinking.

The first reason why I dropped out of school in the past was that I didn’t like studying. The second is: The situation when Gu Wu came back from the corvee service was too scary. He was afraid that something would happen to him, so he dropped out of school and came back to take care of the family.

I have the memories of my previous life, and the knowledge I learned in this life is enough.

After Gu Yu refused, she told Gu Wu that she had other plans. Although the rain gradually stopped, the sky still didn't clear up.

Put on your raincoat and hat, pick up your machete and backpack and get ready to go out. The coir raincoat is an excellent item of rain gear. It is woven from non-perishable grass and can provide protection from rain and facilitate work.

Seeing that she was about to go out, Yang asked, "It's still raining, what are you doing out there?"

Gu Yulili put on her coir raincoat and said, "Go dig some bamboo shoots in the forest and come back. Let's try soaking the bamboo shoots in a tank to see if they can be eaten."

When I read out the name of the recipe just now, there were a few soaked bamboo shoots in it, and I made ten dishes of fermented bean curd to make a meal. Yang said: "Be careful, don't dig too much, we will be back in about the same time."

"Yes!" Gu Yu agreed and strode out of the house.

Bamboo shoots grow mainly in spring and summer, and are divided into three stages: early, middle and late. Different varieties of bamboo have different sprouting times. Scattered bamboo species such as moso bamboo and early bamboo begin to sprout shoots in spring (March-May), while cluster-type bamboo species such as Ma bamboo and green bamboo sprout shoots in summer and autumn (June-August).
