Chapter 81 Yam
Gu Yu understood. It was just that the uncle was okay, but the aunt was not.

After learning the basic information about the two children, as she thought, both parents were deceased, so she did not continue to ask questions.

He took Xu Xi to wash the pagoda vegetables and taught Yang how to make them properly: "You can eat it after marinating it until the evening. Try to see if it tastes good for dinner. If it tastes good, Tong Wei will bring more marinated dishes the day after tomorrow."

"Is this thing really edible?" There are a lot of wild vegetables in the village. During the season of eating wild vegetables, if you want to dig some back to eat, you will only dig the ones you usually eat. Mr. Yang had never dug up the ground rings before and ate them. Looking at the vegetables that looked like maggots, he felt a little disgusted.

Gu Yu laughed dumbly and said, "You can eat it."

Pagoda vegetables are also known as Dihuan, Dican, native ginseng, Digunium grass, manna, Xiangsnail and Dilu.

It has high nutritional value. It contains much more protein than potatoes at the same weight, and its nitrogen content is eight times that of the latter. It also contains a large amount of carbohydrates in the form of lactose, which is easier to digest than starch.

Pharmacological studies have shown that pagoda can activate hyaluronidase and slow down the heart rate. It is used to treat colds and fevers, chronic cough due to tuberculosis, chronic bronchitis cough, chronic strain and low back pain, lymphatic tuberculosis, arthritis pain and yellow pox hepatitis. wait.

However, pagoda vegetables are not suitable for eating raw. If you eat too much, white worms will develop. Eating them with various fish will make people vomit. [Some people say it can be eaten raw, some say it is not possible, and those who have written a lot don’t know. The content was searched online. Anyone who wants to eat it can search online. 】

During dinner in the evening, Mrs. Yang looked at the pagoda dishes that were placed on the table, and said with difficulty, "Why don't you eat it?"

This thing was unpalatable at first glance, and she couldn't understand why Gu Yu insisted on eating this dish.

Gu Yu was the first to pick up a chopstick and eat it, saying: "It's delicious, crisp and refreshing. Mom, try it."

Yang: "..."

This damn girl, who eats worms!
Gu Wu saw that she was not embarrassed, and followed Gu Yu, taking down his chopsticks and tasting one, his eyes lit up, "As Yu'er said, this dish is edible, and I think it's delicious. It's like pickling bamboo shoots with rice!" "

Hearing this, the others took off their chopsticks to taste it. When Yang saw everyone eating, he also ate one.

Then he lost control of his mouth and started eating as much as he could.

Before leaving the stall the next morning, two couples, Gu Jianan and Gu Jianping, brought Gu Hongying and three others to the shop.

The two brothers Gu Jian'an unloaded five bags of bamboo shoots and said, "Little sister, I went back late yesterday and dug five bags. I will bring them to you first, and we will dig them later when we go back."

There are less bamboo shoots at this time of year. I can dig out five bags. It seems that the whole family went out to dig them up and said: "Trouble, big brother and second brother..."

Gu Jianping laughed and said, "What's the trouble?" Then he approached Gu Yu and said, "We went to dig bamboo shoots yesterday, and many people asked us what we were digging for!"

Gu Yu raised his eyebrows, "Just tell them it's for cooking."

During the off-season, most villagers will go to town or county to work as part-time workers.

There are also several villagers with a large population who make a living in the county all year round.

Just a few days after her shop opened, several villagers came to eat there.

Moreover, as mentioned before, she does not make money by soaking bamboo shoots. If the villagers really want to know, there is no harm in telling them that bamboo shoots are edible!

The Gu Jian'an brothers didn't know what Gu Yu was thinking, so they informed her of the villagers' questions. After hearing what she said, they understood that they could openly tell the villagers that this stuff could be eaten and make money.

After hearing this, the brothers knew how to tell the villagers when they went back.

As for Gu Hongying and the others, it was their first time to visit the shop belonging to the Gu family, and they looked very excited and happy.

Everyone around Gu Yu was chattering and asking questions. Gu Yu also answered them patiently. When I went out to collect money from the stall at noon, I said to the three younger ones: "Hongying is the oldest. Hongying and I will collect the money on the first day. In the following days, we will divide it among you according to your size."

"Okay, sister-in-law." Gu Hongying and the other two learned that they could read and have knowledge about running a shop.

Since the three of them learned such news, they couldn't wait to come to Gu Yu that day. Since I need to bring something, I can only wait for my parents to come today.

Although Gu Yu is about the same age as them, he is their elder and has no dissatisfaction with this arrangement.

There is nothing to teach on the first day. Let them get familiar with the environment first. When someone comes to pay, they say: "Sister Ying, you know the price of food. For example, this elder brother's coarse grain meal costs eight cents. You collected the money and put it here." In the cupboard, I’ll do this morning’s accounts when it closes at noon.”

Gu Hongying was exposed to such a job for the first time. She was afraid that she would not be able to do well. She felt a little nervous and said, "Okay, sister-in-law." She took another deep breath and said helplessly: "Sister-in-law, I'm a little worried about losing the money. Can you please watch from the side and give me courage?"

Gu Yu patted her shoulder and encouraged: "I'm watching right next to you. This job is not difficult. I believe you can get started in no time."

Despite her words, Gu Hongying was still nervous. She carefully watched Gu Yu collect the money from more than ten people, and when there were many people busy, she mustered up the courage to start collecting money.

The young man had a strong learning ability and quickly learned the skills after collecting money from several people. Gu Yu was watching from the side.

When you meet someone who cheats and tries to default on your debt, ask someone to teach her how to deal with it, and continue to watch from the sidelines.

At the end of noon, I called Gu Hongying and three others with their account books, asked them to count the money, and taught them how to do the accounting.

Just at this time, Tong Wei came to the shop again carrying a backpack.

Gu Yu was a little surprised to see him, thinking about what he knew from Xu Xi's mouth. Without saying anything else, he weighed the wild vegetables and found that they were fifty kilograms. He didn't know how the two children carried them such a long way: "Fifty kilograms, please keep the fifty cents."

"Okay, boss." Tong Wei took the money, took the bag in Tong Lili's hand and said, "The poor people are poor and have nothing good to give to my boss. Yesterday, when I was digging wild vegetables, I found a few yam plants and dug them. Two plants. Come here today and bring some to cook for my boss."

After they left the shop yesterday, they bought three kilograms of coarse grains and hurried back to the village to dig wild vegetables. Perhaps my parents were blessing me underground, and there were a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain, so I dug half a bag of them in no time.

At the same time, I also found yam that my father had said was edible.

Gu Yu is a good person, he has nothing to repay her, he can only give her what he thinks is good.

Gu Yu knew clearly the plight of the Tong brothers and sisters, so naturally he would not take other people's things for nothing, and said: "The yam on the market is three cents per catty, I will give it to you according to the market price!"

Yams have been eaten in my country for more than 3,000 years. Its earliest name was "Dioscorea". Later, in the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid the name taboo, it was renamed "Yaoyao".

In the Song Dynasty, in order to avoid naming taboos, the name was changed to "Yam", and it has been used until later generations.

"Shen Nong's Materia Medica" lists yam as the top grade, saying: "Dioscorea has a sweet and warm taste. It is mainly used for injuries, tonify deficiency and weakness, remove cold and heat evil spirits, grow muscles, long-term use can make the ears and eyes brighter, lighten the body and not be hungry, and prolong life."

Boiled yam with soybeans, yam stewed with pork ribs, stir-fried yam with fungus, golden yam strips, black-bone yam soup, vinegar-soaked yam, yam and millet porridge... you can make hundreds of dishes.

Tong Weiwei heard that she wanted to pay and refused repeatedly.

On the yam weighing scale, these two yams weighed at least eleven or two kilograms.

A few dozen pennies is nothing to her, but to Tong Wei, it is a huge amount of income.
