After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 60 Hawthorn Cake

Lu Daxiong thought about it and thought it was okay.

At the beginning, he didn't say that he would let Xingwang come over, but he ignored the matter of reckoning.

Sanbao wanted to keep an eye on the construction site, so he couldn't take care of things here.

Naturally, Lu Xingwang was very happy to help settle accounts, not because of how much money he could get, but mainly because it showed Lu Daxiong's trust in him, and it also showed that his status was different from other clansmen.

As a result, Lu Daxiong's house became more and more lively.

Ten female workers were recruited, and they were responsible for picking the fruits every day, classifying them according to their size, good or bad, and then cleaning and drying them.

The processing of this hawthorn is actually very simple, but ordinary people may not be able to master the heat.

The first step is to clean the hawthorn: clean it to remove impurities and fallen cores.

The second step is to fry the hawthorn: take the clean hawthorn and stir-fry according to the clear frying method until the color becomes dark.

The frying method without auxiliary materials is called clear frying method.

The third step is to burn the hawthorn: take the clean hawthorn and stir-fry according to the clear frying method until the surface is burnt brown and the inside is yellowish brown.

In this way, the processed hawthorn can be stored for a long time, and the medicinal effect can be maintained.

For example, ordinary farmers cut hawthorn into slices, and then put them in the sun to dry. If the weather is not right, there may be bugs.

For three days in a row, the house was extremely lively.

Chen Xingyan looked at the hawthorn fruits piled up in the room, and frowned slightly.

Only for medicinal materials, the amount of hawthorn is really not small.

The most important thing is that they have released a lot of money now, and the processing of medicinal materials still needs a process. It is impossible for other medicine merchants to come here to process ten or twenty catties a day.

"Mom, I thought, how about we make some hawthorn cakes and sell them in the town?"

Wang was stunned for a moment, "This thing can also be used as a cake? I have never eaten it, is it delicious?"

"I'll try some tonight, and see if you can sell them."

This hawthorn cake can be said to be the simplest.

Of course, due to different tastes, there will be some differences in the details of the method.

Chen Xingyan could only decide to use the simplest method to make haw jelly based on the existing conditions.

Wash the hawthorn, remove the core, and cook the pulp with water.

Chen Xingyan asked Calamus to withdraw from the fire, not too much.

Changpu is the little girl brought over by the Qi family. After Chen Xingyan learned that the child had never had a proper name, he decided to name her Changpu.

Now it happens to be concocting medicinal materials with her, so the name really complements each other.

Chen Xingyan crushed the pulp with a colander and a spoon, and finally removed the peel, and added a few ounces of rock sugar to the pot to melt, and the aroma of the hawthorn came out.

The boiled hawthorn pulp is poured into a wooden tray prepared in advance and cooled to form a shape. It is crystal clear, beautiful and delicious.

After the thing is cold, cut it into small pieces with a knife, and distribute it to several people to taste.

After taking a bite, Wang felt that it was sour and sweet. It was sour at first, but immediately the sweetness was overwhelmed.

"Daughter-in-law, how did you make this! It's really delicious and soft, and the most important thing is that it's red, so it looks good."

Chen Xingyan smiled slightly, without further explanation, and then asked Daxiong to taste a piece.

Lu Daxiong doesn't like to eat this kind of food.

But I couldn't stand my daughter-in-law's expectation, so I ate it anyway.

"Although this food is good, pregnant women can't eat it. If you think it's okay, then go back and make more, and bring it to the town to sell the day after tomorrow."

"I can see it."

Mrs. Wang was the first to express her attitude, and Calamus also said crisply: "It's delicious!"

Lu Daxiong nodded, "Women and children should like this."

"Then try!"

Anyway, a female worker is hired at home, so there is no need to find another person to clean and remove the core, but how to boil it is not for outsiders to see.

Although Mrs. Wang has never done business, she also knows that this cooking skill cannot be learned casually.

Chen Xingyan couldn't find a better candidate for a while, so he decided to do it himself first.

Anyway, she didn't have anything to do, she just boiled hawthorn syrup every day, and she wasn't tired.

What Wang meant was to ask Chen Xingyan to do less first. After all, it was the first time he sold it, and he didn't know if this big guy would buy it.

But Chen Xingyan felt that since he planned to do it, he should do more.

The next day, Lu Daxiong was going to work in the county, so he took Wang with him, then put her in the town, and helped her set up a booth.

There were also two wooden trays of hawthorn cakes on the cart, one was for him to build good relations with the inspection department, and the other was for Chen Xingyan to send him to the county government.

Chen Xingyan repeatedly emphasized to them that pregnant women are not allowed to eat this food, and he wrote a few big characters on purpose and asked Mrs. Wang to place it in front of the booth.

Lu Daxiong doesn't like these sweet and sour things, but his brothers do!

Especially eating too much at noon, holding a piece of hawthorn cake in one hand, the stomach feels comfortable after a while.

"Brother Lu, you are really ingenious in making this thing. Just now, my stomach was a little full, but now it has gone down a lot."

"Hehe, I have long heard that Mrs. Sister-in-law is dexterous, and this will be really insightful."

Lu Daxiong naturally responded to the overtures of his colleagues with a smile, and only said that he could bring them to everyone in the future.

"Brother Lu, this makes you feel so embarrassed every day! In my opinion, it's better to just put it in the restaurant, and anyone who wants to taste it can buy it for himself."

"That's right! Anyway, let's go eat, and the shopkeeper doesn't dare to open his mouth."

Lu Daxiong's eyeballs rolled, this is a solution.

Those who can wear this official skin have more or less connections.

The effect of Lu Daxiong spending money to treat them to wine and tea was immediately apparent.

Later that day, Lu Daxiong had already negotiated with the two restaurants.

"This food is appetizing, and you will definitely not lose if you eat it. Even if you give away a portion to the distinguished guests for free, when they have an appetite, are you afraid that the food and drink in this restaurant will not be sold?"

What the shopkeeper said made sense.

However, it was mainly because of the inspector's face that he was willing to give this thing a try.

It doesn't matter if you can make money, as long as you don't mess with these few people.

In the end, he just felt that the other party was powerful, so he had better not provoke him.

The two that Lu Daxiong had agreed on were small local merchants. He didn't go to the real big restaurant, because the food and drinks there were too expensive, and he didn't think it was worth it.

In the evening, Chen Xingyan was very happy when he heard that Lu Daxiong even helped them solicit business.

"The two plates of hawthorn cakes my mother brought out are also sold out, and she said that I must make more when I go to the market next time."

"Well, tomorrow I will bring three plates of hawthorn cakes to the county, one in each of the two restaurants, and I will bring some more to my brothers."
