"Wait for me here for a while."
After Xiaoguo finished speaking and saw him nod, she led the donkey cart into the house.
After Xiaoguo stopped the donkey cart, Zhuangzhuang ran out of the house. He had just heard someone knocking on the door, but because his mother had told him not to open the door to strangers when he was alone at home, he did not move.
Xiao Guo rubbed his sturdy little head and said, "Xiao Yi misses you. Can we write a letter to him together?"
Zhuangzhuang was delighted when he heard Xiaoyi's name. He nodded quickly, went back to the room and quickly picked up paper and pen. The mother and son sat together and wrote letters respectively.
Zhuangzhuang wrote down recent interesting news and developments, while Xiaoguo wrote down the detailed method of making dried pears and the structure of the stove.
After writing the two things, I changed to a new piece of paper, this time writing a greeting to Xiaoyi.
In the letter, Eunuch Su said that Xiao Yi cried non-stop because Jiang Shanhe ate his dried pears, and because he missed the warmth of her home too much, he begged her to write to him the method of making dried pears and the structure of the stove if it was convenient. Then he asked her and Zhuangzhuang to write a letter to Xiao Yi.
The tone was sincere, and the stove and the dried pears were not secrets that could not be leaked. Besides, it was Jiang Shanhe who started it, so she had no reason not to help, so she wrote it down.
She was not surprised that Xiao Yi missed them so much, because it was not difficult to see that Xiao Yi was more suitable for flying outside. However, freedom was inevitably too much of a luxury for the prince.
Thinking of this, Xiao Guo sighed. That seat was not something that ordinary people could sit in.
"Mom, I'm done."
Zhuangzhuang folded the letter papers and handed them to Xiaoguo together. After Xiaoguo took it, she put the prescription and the letter into two envelopes. Fortunately, because of the recent letter writing, she had prepared a lot of envelopes at home, otherwise they would have to be sent to the capital city naked this time.
Because the postman was still waiting outside, Xiaoguo didn't dare to delay and hurried out to hand it to him. However, before giving it to him, she asked Zhuangzhuang to get a small bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts from the house. At that time, Jiang Danhe had stockpiled a lot of them for her, and there was still some surplus now, so she made sugar-roasted chestnuts the day before yesterday and brought a bag for Xiaoyi to try.
"Excuse me."
Xiaoguo handed him the letter and the bag with a smile.
"Madam Jiang, this is what our Eunuch Su asked me to bring to you. He also said it's a small token of gratitude. Please accept it."
After putting it away, the man turned around and took a basket of things out of the carriage.
When she first heard the meaning of these words, she subconsciously thought it was silver and felt a little embarrassed. She couldn't take the money even if it was given to her. But when she saw the basket, this idea died.
"What is this?"
Xiaoguo looked at the basket covered with cloth and looked at the man curiously.
Xiaoguo didn't have to wait too long. The man quickly removed the cover, revealing the yellow... banana inside?
"This year, the palace harvested a lot of bananas. I picked the unripe ones to bring to you. After a bumpy ride, they are now ripe."
Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang took a deep breath. So many bananas?! This is really terrible. She just finished eating pears and chestnuts, and now she wants another banana. The main thing is that these things cannot be stored. They will easily rot when the temperature is high.
After receiving a pile of bananas and a basket, Xiaoguo watched the visitor leave until the carriage disappeared from sight.
Xiaoguo asked Zhuangzhuang to open the door, and then he mustered up all his strength and moved into the house. He was so tired that he was panting and begging, "Zhuangzhuang, take it to Aunt Yang."
Xiaoguo took out two big bunches of bananas. There were many people in her family, so she took two bunches. These bananas couldn't be stored well and would turn black if left in the house overnight. It was just right to eat them now.
At first I was worried that Zhuangzhuang couldn't lift it, but it turned out to be unnecessary worry. It turned out that the flesh was not grown in vain, and it ran away steadily.
After Zhuangzhuang left, Xiaoguo looked at the remaining bananas and picked out the greener ones and put them outside. He also took out three big handfuls and put them aside, preparing to give them to Qin Anming and the others in the afternoon. Finally, he took all the remaining ripe bananas to the kitchen.
They definitely won’t be able to eat them, so we can only turn them into dried bananas, which are delicious and easy to store.
When Zhuangzhuang came back after delivering the bananas, Xiaoguo had already cut two slices. He was a little confused to see that the bananas were not eaten but cut into slices.
Xiaoguo explained it to him and then gave him the remaining half of the banana.
I took a plate, filled it with sugar, spread the bananas cut into oval slices on the plate and sprinkled them with sugar. Then I added a layer of oil to the pan, heated the oil, and fry the banana slices over low heat. When one side was browned, I turned them over. It took about fifteen minutes.
"Zhuangzhuang, let me do it."
Xiaoguo put down her chopsticks and sat next to Zhuangzhuang. She took out more than half of the firewood with a pair of tongs, leaving only a little spark inside, and slowly started to fry the bananas.
"Mom, is it delicious?"
Although Zhuangzhuang admired his mother's cooking skills very much, he inexplicably felt that the sound of frying bananas was a bit unbearable to him.
"Don't worry, little brat. If it doesn't taste good, I'll eat it all. It won't be wasted."
This little brat doesn't even trust me. Just wait and see how he'll cry when I get out of the pot.
Fifteen minutes is almost up in Xiaoguo's opinion, which means the banana chips are ready to be served.
After serving, cover with a lid and set aside to cool, then fry another pot, dip in sugar and fry over low heat.
During the whole period, he kept circling around the banana slices just out of the pot, pretending his little hands to be a fan to blow hot air over the banana slices, so that he could eat them quickly, because the taste was really delicious and he was really drooling.
All the banana chips have been prepared. Xiaoguo put a plate of them for Zhuangzhuang who couldn't wait any longer and asked him to go back to the house to eat them. The rest continued to cool. After they were completely cooled, they were canned and sealed for storage and could be taken out and eaten whenever needed.
One day.
After dinner in the evening, Xiaoguo approached Zhuangzhuang with his hands behind his back, "Zhuangzhuang, let's have some fruit after dinner."
"Ah?!" When Zhuangzhuang heard her say that, he immediately thought of that thing, "Banana?"
"Correct answer! Reward: a banana!"
"Ah~ Mom, can I exchange it for a reward?"
Zhuangzhuang looked at her aggrievedly, trying to get away with it.
Xiao Guo shook his head as if to say so, and said with a smile, "No, eat it."
The first to be affected was Xiaoguo, who quickly finished a banana and lay comfortably on the bed looking at Zhuangzhuang.
Zhuangzhuang was still eating in small bites. Although he said he was eating, he was actually just using his lips to pick up the food. He couldn't eat much at all.
Xiao Guo was delighted with his performance at the moment. Who made him eat bananas so madly some time ago? No one could persuade him to stop. He ended up eating too much in one day. After that, he felt sick whenever he smelled bananas. Recently, he was feeling better, so Xiao Guo started teasing him again.
But no matter how she joked, she would definitely not let him eat the whole banana out of disgust, so when he looked at her pitifully for the Nth time, she happily took the almost whole banana and finished it in three or four bites. It must be said that she really loved eating bananas, they were delicious and also helped with constipation.
"Mother is so nice~"
Zhuangzhuang hugged Xiaoguo naively, apparently having forgotten who had deliberately used a banana to tease him just now.
After Xiaoguo teased Zhuangzhuang, he got a good guy card. He touched Zhuangzhuang's head helplessly, thinking he was really stupid.
Xiao Guo thought about the good guy card and smiled evilly. Today, I will let you experience what it means to be beaten by society.
In the eyes of Zhuangzhuang and Innocence, a devilish smile gradually appeared, and the most cruel words were spoken in the gentlest tone, "Go to bed early. The fruit for breakfast, lunch, and even dinner and midnight snack tomorrow will still be bananas."
"Mother~wuwuwu~"
Zhuangzhuang was rolling around on the bed, Xiaoguo blocked the outside, leaving a safe place inside for him to roll around, and she was laughing.
It's really fun to tease Zhuang Zhuang when you have nothing to do. It's fun to tease him all the time and there's no end to the fun.
