After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 61
Chen Xingyan saw that the hawthorn cake could be sold, so he thought about making hawthorn paste as well.

Hawthorn sauce is slightly more difficult than hawthorn cake, mainly due to the ratio of heat and sugar.

After the hawthorn is thoroughly washed, pinch it into two, and dig out the roots and seeds with a knife.

Put it in a casserole, add water and stir fry continuously over high heat until the hawthorn is soft and rotten, then add sugar and continue frying.

Chen Xingyan didn't dare to use the big iron pot at home, because he was worried that it would have some bad reactions, so it would be safer to use a casserole.

Just keep stirring like this, and you have to control the heat until it is very sticky.

Chen Xingyan sealed the prepared hawthorn sauce into a jar, and made a glass of water for one of them to drink.

Both eyes of Calamus drink are crooked, "Miss, this is really delicious, sour and sweet."

Chen Xingyan smiled, "It's delicious but you can't drink too much, just one cup is fine, otherwise you will have a stomachache."

Calamus stuck out his tongue, lowered his head and continued to drink.

"Mother, brother Xingwang is still busy outside, right?"

"Well, here you are. Didn't someone send them a bowl just now?"

Chen Xingyan said with a smile: "I want Brother Xingwang to get some small jars back. Let's seal the opening and sell them."

Mrs. Wang thought about it too. If the hawthorn cake is selling well, the hawthorn sauce will definitely be selling well too.

In order to neutralize the acidity of the hawthorn, Chen Xingyan added two apples to each pot to save sugar.

As for apples, almost every household here grows them, and they are not rare at all.

Chen Xingyan was extra careful this time, he just didn't want others to be able to make the same hawthorn sauce just by tasting it.

The method of hawthorn cake is too simple, I believe that it will not be long before someone else can make it.

But this hawthorn sauce is different, not so easy to imitate.

After listening to Chen Xingyan's request, Xingwang immediately complied.

"Don't worry, brother and sister, this is easy to handle. My aunt's family is a wine maker, and I have been asking for clay pots from the old head of the next village all the year round. My brother and sister just say how much they want."

Chen Xingyan thought for a while, "Brother Xingwang, how much does such a big clay pot usually cost?"

Lu Xingwang glanced at it. The small clay pot is really not big, and it feels much smaller than his salt shaker.

"It shouldn't be much money. If you want less, maybe three or four pennies a piece. If you want more, you can probably get two or three pennies."

"Well, let's order a hundred first."

Lu Xingwang looked surprised, this hundred is quite a lot.

"Sure, I'll go ask now."

Lu Xingwang took the small clay pot in his hand, and when he got back, he led the donkey out to find the old boss.

A few days later, the demand for hawthorn cakes in the two restaurants that had been agreed with Lu Daxiong also stabilized, with two wooden plates a day, and in addition, his Ruyi sauce was served.

The reason why it is called Ruyi sauce is that it does not want people to know what kind of fruit it is made of.

In this restaurant, drinking a bowl of water with wishful jam costs two cents.

And this small jar of Ruyi Sauce can be worth 25 bowls at least, but Lu Daxiong only charged [-] Wen for supplying it to them, and the jar still had to be recycled.

Chen Xingyan noticed that the pears here are also growing well. She learned from the memory of the original owner that in the south, each of these pears can be sold for ten yuan.

But here, the pears are worthless at all, and some people's pears are even ruined on the ground, and they are simply given to chickens and ducks.

The main reason is that this thing is not hungry.

In the eyes of southerners, something that is considered a rarity is not as affordable as a pound of brown rice in the eyes of ordinary people here.

Over and over again, Ruyi Jam has added a new flavor. In less than half a month, Ruyi Jam has become popular throughout Gaoyang County.

Although Gaoyang County is a poor county, there are also many rich people.

Some people even buy whole cans at home, and they buy three or five cans at a time, which makes the shopkeeper of the restaurant very happy.

Lu Daxiong gave him 25 Wen a can, and he could sell it for [-] Wen at a stroke. This is a solid quick money!

Because their family started harvesting apples and pears again,

There are not many such fruit trees in their Lujia Village, usually two or three trees are planted by a family, enough for the family to eat.

In Shangliu Village, there are particularly many apple and pear trees.

Liu Dazhuang's family planted three acres of pear trees in their own home.

It's not that his family is willing to plant it, the main reason is that the crops in that piece of land can't grow well, so it's better to plant fruit trees, which can be exchanged for some money anyway.

Moreover, in the law of ruling the country, if you plant fruit trees, the agricultural tax is also collected according to the fruit. After calculation, it is less than the tax paid for growing grain.

Liu Dazhuang was still worried about the pears at home and didn't know what to do, but now he heard that his uncle was harvesting pears here, and he immediately became happy.

After asking in the past, it was confirmed that as long as it was a pear, he would accept it. Liu Dazhuang explained to his family when he went back that day. After that, he used a cart to deliver it here every day for several days.

The old house here is not enough, the house is full of all kinds of fruits.

Lu Laohan simply built another shed in the yard by himself, so that he could temporarily pile up the fruits in the yard.

And some finished products were all moved to the new house on the east side.

When Chen Xingyan concocted five hundred catties of hawthorn here, the big drug dealer from Fucheng also came over.

The pharmacist's surname is He, and he is considered a well-known figure in Dongping Fucheng.

He looked at these processed dried hawthorns and nodded frequently.

"Ms. Chen is indeed a good craftsman."

"You're welcome."

Chen Xingyan waited for him to give the price after he had read them one by one.

After some negotiations, the dried hawthorn was sold at a price of [-] Wen per catty. After doing some calculations, Chen Xingyan thought it was okay.

She knew that when selling medicines from pharmacies, they were all calculated in taels and money.

"Yes, it's just that the dried hawthorns we prepared have sent a lot to the drugstores in Gaoyang County and several nearby towns. I wonder if it will affect Boss He's business?"

Boss He laughed, "Ms. Chen is worrying too much. We are also going to transport these medicinal materials to the south."

In fact, Chen Xingyan knew that they were going south, so he just asked on purpose.

"Boss He, since you're here, why don't you take a look at this again?"

Boss He raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

Chen Xingyan gave an order, and Calamus came in with a tray.

On a small saucer lay what looked like three sugar cubes, yellow in color.

"Boss He, try it."

Boss He hesitated for a moment, and with a wink, a steward beside him took a piece and put it in his mouth.

After a few breaths, the manager's face changed slightly, "Is there a pear in it?"

Boss He was also slightly taken aback, and then he put a piece into his mouth.

Chen Xingyan laughed. Everyone thought that she harvested pears just to make that wishful jam, but no one knew that what she really wanted to make was this pear cream candy.
