I am Xu Lingjun, who is full of love in the courtyard

Chapter 13 13. Fudge
Guan Juer looked at Qiu Yingying, who became more and more beautiful as she thought about it, and said with a smile, "This is the secret of making money, how could I tell you? Let's go back?"

"No, I've come all the time. How can I not taste it?"

At this time, Xu Lingjun came back with washed fresh sweet potatoes.Put the sweet potatoes on the cutting board, cut into pieces, and add to the casserole.

Looking at the iron pan, the fudge has not yet formed.That’s right, it’s impossible for this thing to take shape without half an hour’s progress.

After stirring the casserole, Xu Lingjun saw that the water in the pot was about the same, so he covered the pot.Then he sat down on the soil bench, looked at the two girls, and said, "I don't have anything at home, so I'm sorry I couldn't entertain you well?"

Guan Juer smiled and said, "It's okay, we just smell the fragrance, come and have a look. You don't need to entertain us."

"Oh, by the way, I have some fruit here, just wait a moment. I'll get it for you to eat."

Qiu Yingying smiled and said, "Thank you."

Xu Lingjun left the kitchen, entered the main room, and closed the door.Then I went down to the cellar and collected 2 catties of prickly pear fruit into my portable space.After coming up, I found a bamboo tube and put the prickly pear fruit in it.Locked the cellar, restored it to its original state, and walked out with the bamboo tube in hand.

When I came to the kitchen, I put the bamboo tube on the earthen table, "The wild fruits in the mountains are not so strictly controlled in the team now. I went up the mountain to pick some and gave them to you."

Qiu Yingying took one with a smile and said, "Xu Lingjun, how do you eat this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"Where did you see it? In the past, if you went to the mountains to pick wild fruits to eat, you would be criticized. Except for the villagers who pick some to eat to satisfy their hunger, who would give you educated youths."

"That's right, I've been here for so long, and I haven't eaten anything except some wild vegetables in the cafeteria." Guan Juer continued.

"Pick off the outer skin of this fruit and you can eat it. By the way, there are seeds inside, so you can't eat that." Xu Lingjun said, took a plump prickly pear fruit that was red and yellow from inside, and put the green stalk into it. Take it off, then cut it open with a knife, peel off the skin, and show it to two people.

"Peel off the outer skin, and the rest of the inside can be eaten. This thing is quite difficult to handle. Don't peel it with bare hands. It's better to cut it with scissors or a knife." Xu Lingjun said, eating the flesh into his mouth, and then Spit out the seeds.

Qiu Yingying picked up the kitchen knife on the table, and took a plump prickly pear fruit from the bamboo tube, cut it open carefully, and ate it. "Well, it's delicious. I didn't expect that I've been here for so long, only to find that there are so many delicious foods here."

Xu Lingjun smiled and said, "There are many good things you don't know about. When I am free, I will make more and teach you to try."

"Thank you for your kindness, but what a shame." Qiu Yingying was a little moved, but a little reserved.

"You educated youths come here, you are far from your hometown, and you have suffered a lot from any contact with farm work before. You are the same people who have fallen in the end of the world, and you just support each other."

Hearing this, Qiu Yingying was also touched, and suddenly felt a little sad, and said, "I don't know when I will be able to go home. I heard that someone in the commune has found a way to go home."

Xu Lingjun didn't know when the educated youth went back, but he also knew that it had been a few years.Then he said comfortingly, "Since someone is ready to go back, it means that the country is opening up the passage to go back. Slowly, there should be a chance to go back."

"Do you think so too? Sister Andy and the others also said so."

"Yingying, let me use the kitchen knife in your hand."

"En." Qiu Yingying handed the kitchen knife to Guan Juer, and Guan Juer ate a prickly pear fruit, which tasted really good. "It's delicious, Yingying, shall we go back?"

"Ah."

Seeing that the prickly pear fudge in the pot had cooled down and was slowly forming, Xu Lingjun said to the two of them, "Wait a minute, I'll give you a taste of something good."

Qiu Yingying said curiously, "Xu Lingjun, do you have any good things here? You are really amazing."

"It's okay. It's just the fudge in the pot. I'll get it out of the pot and cut it up now. Try it and give me some advice."

"Uh-huh."

Xu Lingjun took out the fudge from the pot with a wooden shovel, put it on the cutting board, then took the kitchen knife from the table, and started cutting the fudge.In the past few years of express delivery, Xu Lingjun buys steamed buns at the breakfast shop for breakfast, eats lunch at the company, and cooks dinner by himself after returning home from work.

Although the cooking skills are still average, compared to the same 18-year-old young man, he is considered outstanding.Knife skills are also much better than ordinary people.

I saw Xu Lingjun skillfully holding a kitchen knife, and quickly cut the fudge into strips.Xu Lingjun only had one bowl at home, filled it slowly with a bowl of prickly pear jelly, and then brought it to the table.

Looking at the two girls, he said, "There are no good things at home, some fudge, you can try it."

Qiu Yingying said with a smile, "That's much better than us." Then she took a soft candy and ate it.After a while, a sweet smile appeared.

She gently pulled Guan Ju'er, and said with a smile, "Guan Guan, it's delicious, you can try it too."

Guan Juer looked at Xu Lingjun and said, "Thank you." Then he took a soft candy and ate it.After a while, a sweet smile appeared.Then he said, "It's really delicious."

"Yeah. I haven't eaten such delicious candy for a long time."

Seeing that the two like it, Xu Lingjun said with a smile, "If you like it, I'll pretend to be both of you."

This time, even Qiu Yingying felt a little embarrassed, and said, "How embarrassing is this, such a precious thing."

"No matter how expensive it is, it's just a little food. There are plenty in the mountains. If I want to eat, I can spend some time cooking it."

"Then what a shame, let's forget it."

"You have also seen that there are so many soft candies, how can I finish them all by myself? Keep them and keep them until they are destroyed. I will put a bamboo tube for each of you and take them back to eat." Xu Lingjun said and walked from the side I took two bamboo tubes and packed them up.

After hearing this, Qiu Yingying didn't refuse anymore, she smiled and said, "Thank you so much."

Soon, Xu Lingjun filled up the two bamboo tubes, which was actually not much.Such two small bamboo tubes may only contain more than a tael each.Save food, it will only take a few days.

Holding a bamboo tube in one hand, he handed it to Qiu Yingying first, and said with a smile, "Here."

Qiu Yingying took the things and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Then he handed another bamboo tube to Guan Juer.After the other party took it, he smiled and said, "Thank you."
