Chapter 447 Leading Brothers to Earn Money for Marrying Wife
Shen Youyou's eyes lit up instantly. The Mopan Persimmons in Fangshan were her main target this time. You have to know that history has taken a turn, and there were no persimmon cakes in the Daqing Dynasty.
I remember that in the previous life, persimmon cake was invented in the Ming Dynasty.
"Let's go home quickly, and then we can pick persimmons after lunch."
Looking from a distance, it's a huge persimmon forest. It's not just hanging persimmons, it's actually silver.
After that, everyone no longer walked slowly, after all, it was well known that persimmons were delicious.
As they were walking, Shen Erya said to Shen Youyou: "I feel that the persimmons there look much bigger than those in our hometown."
"That's the grinding wheel persimmon. I heard that it's the largest persimmon except for the mirror-like persimmon in Caozhou."
Shen Erya chuckled: "As expected, you like to eat persimmons the most, otherwise you must have been to Caozhou and know the persimmons there?"
Shen Youyou really likes to eat watery fruits like persimmons and watermelons, especially the sweet persimmons. In her previous life, every year when the persimmons were ripe,
It is normal to buy persimmons from all over the country online. She has eaten persimmons from all over the country, but? Could it be that this ancient body also likes to eat persimmons?
"Ok?"
As soon as Shen Youyou uttered a syllable, Shen Erya continued: "Every year when the persimmons at home are ripe, our grandma always picks out the best ones and saves them for you.
Other families in the village would pick persimmons and sell them in town, but my grandma, who was so stingy, never let my grandpa sell persimmons."
Hearing this, Shen Youyou felt warm in her heart, but she didn't show it. Instead, she asked, "Look at the sour ones. Didn't our grandma let you eat persimmons?"
"Hehe, it's not that I won't let you eat them, but the biggest one is definitely reserved for you."
"Oh, look at how pitiful my second sister is. So I will definitely leave the biggest persimmons I pick this afternoon for you to eat."
Shen Erya laughed: "Okay, I'll remember this."
After returning home, the first thing Shen Youyou did was to take her sisters to wash the leaves of the Chinese cristata tree.
Shen Zhiqiu also said: "It's almost time for dinner, let's do it after dinner. What kind of leaves are these and what are they used for?"
"The leaves of the Xanthoceras sorbifolia tree can be used to make Chinese medicine and tea. You can dry the water droplets and fry some in the afternoon. Then you can make tea for everyone to drink."
As for frying tea leaves, for now, his father is the most skilled one in the family. Seeing his father nod in agreement, Shen Youyou and her sisters did not delay any longer and quickly washed the leaves and ate.
The pheasants and rabbits that were caught were also handed over to Li Jingshu.
With the persimmons from the mountain as their attraction, Shen Youyou and her brothers and sisters ate very quickly.
In fact, from the time I came down the mountain and returned home to the time I set out again, including washing the leaves, it only took me half an hour.
However, they wanted to give their family a surprise in the evening and did not inform them in advance that they had found persimmons on the mountain. Therefore, when Grandma Hua finished her work and went to look for Shen Youyou, she found that she had already run away.
The old lady was actually worried about the danger for them going up the mountain, so she couldn't help but keep saying, "You see, Yoyo, this kid never has a moment of leisure. He has so many things to do every day, and he has time to run around like crazy."
Her sister-in-law Cui Fen couldn't help but interrupt: "Why do you care what she does? While she's still young, she can run around as much as she wants. When she gets older and gets married, she won't have such a leisurely life."
You think she is right?
At least this is the common understanding of many normal people, but to Old Lady Hua, it just doesn't sound good.
Especially when I think about my granddaughter getting married, although the old lady has said this before, why does it make me so distressed?
After the meal, Shen Zhiqiu took advantage of the time when everyone was taking a break to take his elder brother, Shen Mazi and others to fry the dried water droplets of the Xanthoceras sorbifolia leaves.
While frying the tea leaves, Shen Zhichun kept muttering, "Wow, what tree did you find these leaves from? They smell so good. I think they smell better than the tea you bought last time for half a tael of silver per pound.
Shen Zhiqiu kept rubbing and shaking the leaves in the pot: "The tea I bought for half a pound was not a good tea, I just drank it. This is the leaves of Xanthoceras sorbifolia, but it is a good thing.
It has several names. It is also called the top scholar tree, which means passing the imperial examination and being a scholar in the court. Another name is the longevity fruit, which also needs no explanation of its meaning.
In fact, when Shen Zhiqiu saw the leaves, he really didn't know what number they were, but when he heard the name, he had an impression of it. After all, it was very famous. At least in ancient memories, many literati and poets wrote poems for the Chinese hollyhock tree.
As for Shen Youyou, it was more than half an hour later when everyone arrived at the persimmon forest. These persimmon trees were very thick and looked to be quite old.
The branches were full of yellow fruits. The persimmons were ripe now, but most of them were still hard. What surprised Shen Youyou and the others was that the persimmon forest was very large, and it seemed to occupy several hills. They couldn't see all of it because of the trees.
Shen Youyou felt incredible: "How come no one is picking fruits in such a large forest?"
Da Hu was already climbing the tree. "Didn't they say before that the people of Tangjia Village rarely come to the mountain because of the wolves coming down the mountain? Even if they come, they probably won't go this deep."
Okay, this is the only explanation. Otherwise, how could there be so many persimmons and no one picked them?
Shen Dabao had seen persimmon trees on the east side of Tangjia Village before. They were still green at that time, so he said, "If you want to pick persimmons in Tangjia Village, you will probably go to the east side. But there are not as many persimmon trees on the east side as here."
Shen Youyou nodded: "We can't pick all of these. I'll tell my dad when I get back and ask him to discuss it with the village head. Let's pick them first."
The other brothers and sisters also nodded: "Okay, we want to pick all the persimmons, but we can't do without enough manpower."
"Haha, yes, there are so many persimmons that I guess we and everyone in the village can't finish them all."
Shen Youyou smiled mysteriously: "If you can't finish it, you can sell it!"
Shen Mazi's dog Shengzi suddenly said, "Yo yo, I'm afraid you don't know that when you buy persimmons at the market, you can buy more than ten for two cents."
"Brother Gousheng, have you ever sold persimmons?"
Shen Gousheng nodded to indicate that he had indeed been there when he was in his hometown.
"But I don't plan to sell persimmons directly. Let's make persimmon cakes and sell them. Brothers, tell me, do you want to earn money to marry a wife?"
The young men from the nine clans all blushed when Shen Youyou teased them, while Shen Erya and Sister Guo covered their mouths and laughed secretly.
As a result, Er Zhuang and Er Hu said in unison: "Okay, Yoyo, we'll do whatever you say."
Shen Youyou was slightly stunned, and blinked her big eyes: "What's going on, do you two have a girl you like?"
As a result, the two of them said in unison again: "No, no, don't talk nonsense."
My goodness, they all stutter the same thing. It’s not believable that they say there’s no Shen Youyou this time. She’s just a little slow in emotions, but she’s not stupid!
"Haha, you still want to lie to me. Who do you like? Let me guess. Is it from Tangjia Village?"
As a result, they both shook their heads at the same time: "No, no, get to work, it's getting dark."
Shen Youyou was almost laughing to death at the reactions of her two brothers, and she was thinking about going back to share her great discovery with her parents.
