Eighty Koi Fubao get rich

Chapter 159 The Cause of Failure

Bending down to look through the basket, he took out a small box, washed it several times, and handed the boy a strawberry that was a little bigger than a quail egg, "No, try it!"

The red-skinned black seeds look okay, but the size is too small. Unexpectedly, I took it and stuffed it into my mouth. The sweet and sour feeling instantly stimulated the taste buds. The taste and taste are better than the big strawberries I carefully prepared. How many times better.

"Oh, it's delicious. What kind of variety is this? I haven't seen it in the market!"

"Hmph, what you visit is either a supermarket or an imported boutique. How can you sell local fruits? Although it is small, it is sweet and sour and juicy. Because of the low output, and the impact of a big strawberry, even the local vegetable market, It’s also rare to see it!”

"It's a pity that such delicious strawberries cannot be grown on a large scale!"

Saying that, when she started eating strawberries, the corners of Yun Xia's mouth turned up slightly, and she snatched the box, "This is for making strawberry jam, not for you to eat as a snack!"

"Ah? Are you sure you want to make jam with such a good fruit?"

"Of course, it's all cooked through, and the sauce is the best."

After finishing speaking, turn around and get busy, remove the stalks and wash, dry the water, put water and rock sugar in the bottom of the pot, add strawberries after the water boils, crush them while stirring, add some crushed rock sugar from time to time, boil until thick and serve .

"Xiaxia, your steps for making jam are different from what is written in the book." The key is that no lemon juice is added, which cannot lock in the original flavor of the ingredients.

The girl waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "Li Chen, don't rely too much on books. Cooking jam is just like making home-cooked dishes. The amount and order of various condiments and side dishes in the pot are all up to personal preference. Just make it delicious. If you don't believe me, Wait for the jam to cool, and taste it together."

The boy thought about it, nodded and agreed, put the two bottles of freshly baked jam in the refrigerator to cool down, and then took out carefully prepared imported fruits for the girl to taste.

"The apples are big and plump, crunchy, sweet and juicy. The cherries are attractive in color and rich in taste. The kiwi is moderately soft and hard, sweet and sour..."

After Yun Xia praised each variety, she finally said something devastating, "Unfortunately, none of them are suitable for making jam."

Hearing this, the smile on the young man's face slowly disappeared, and he said listlessly: "Could it be that the fruit I chose was not good enough, next time I go to the store, I must ask the salesperson to bring out the best ones."

Seeing that the young man was not on the road, Yun Xia shook her head helplessly, and said: "Li Chen, the road is too shallow, isn't it, the fruit picked out of thousands is given to others as a front, you are better off, take him Boil jam. When making jam, you can choose either extremely sweet or extremely sour. If you choose the wrong raw material, and the steps are the same every time you boil the jam, the product that comes out will almost taste bad.”

The listless young man sighed, "I see, so what do you think should be done?"

"Hey, while it's still early, I'll take you to the vegetable market!"

Li Chen had never been to the vegetable market. Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he called Brother Zhang to drive, unloaded the fruits, and drove to the vegetable market with a basket on his back.

As noon approached, there were fewer people in the vegetable market. In addition to the hot weather, many vegetables were wilted. The appearance was incomparable with the supermarkets with fresh-keeping functions. The young man pinched his nose and walked on tiptoes in the dark blue sky. brick road.

"Xia Xia, do you buy all the vegetables you eat every day in such an environment?"

You don't need to look at the expression, just by hearing the tone, you can know how much the young man dislikes this place.

"Li Chen, you don't understand this. There is no difference between the vegetables in the supermarket today and the day after tomorrow. What you buy is likely to have been there three days ago. The vegetable market is different. Vegetables are all different. It was picked overnight and delivered early in the morning, so you can tell whether it is fresh or not at a glance. For some families who are not well-off, they only buy vegetables that are wilted, which can save a lot of money!"

It was the first time the young man heard this statement. His eyes widened and he looked at the vegetable stand without disgust. He even boldly stepped forward to study the freshness of the vegetables.

Yun Xia dragged him to the fruit, walked around a few times, and saw a bunch of old pears, small in size, extremely sour in taste, full of sandy pears, ten cents and two catties, and the price was fair, so they wrapped them up for him directly.

"82 catties, just give me 4 yuan."

When the pear was packed, the young man took a sip, and his five senses were so sour immediately, "Xia Xia, this pear is sour and astringent, don't buy it, you can't eat it when you buy it back! It's too sandy, it's not suitable for making jam at all! "

What I said annoyed the stall owner, and he said angrily: "Young man, don't know the goods, don't talk nonsense, a hundred-year-old tree bears fruit, and it is worthless to you."

"Hey, don't be angry, he's still young, he doesn't understand these things, he has to go to the herbal medicine shop to buy some auxiliary ingredients, after a while he tastes it, I'm sure he won't say a word of disapproval again."

Hearing this, the stall owner lost his temper, and smiled while loading pears: "Yo, girl knows how to do it, a spoonful of autumn pear paste, half a cup of warm water, the whole summer will be refreshing!"

"That's it, nourishing the lungs and relieving coughs, cools and relieves fire, something that is always on hand throughout the year, I'm done packing, see you later!" After finishing speaking, he picked up his backpack and pulled the boy away.

"Xia Xia, let me recite it!"

"No, I'm used to memorizing it. It's a coincidence, and I'm not tired at all. If you do it, tsk tsk, within half an hour, your shoulders will definitely be red, and if it's serious, there may be bloodshot streaks."

The nobleman is delicate and fleshy, so the girl dared not let him get tired, so she quickened her pace, and soon came to the medicinal material shop, and weighed common medicinal materials such as lily, Chuanbei, Luo Han Guo, Fritillaria, and Ophiopogon japonicus.

"Xia Xia, you know so much, it's almost..." It's my idol!

"Hey, the children of poor families have already been in charge of their own homes. A bottle of autumn pear paste the size of a palm in Shangchao sells for more than ten yuan. If you buy raw materials by yourself and cook a few big jars, it doesn't cost you ten yuan. And you can make it yourself. Don't worry, I'll borrow your big soup pot, and I'll give you half of the boiled pear paste, okay?"

"Okay, of course, beauty and beauty, my mother will definitely like it."

Yun Xia is a man of action, seeing that he agreed, bought some rock sugar and honey, and after returning to Liu's house by car, he started to work.

Although the pear is an early-maturing variety, it is small and has a strong flavor, and it grows from a century-old tree. Add water while boiling, until the aroma of the medicine is forced out, the water turns into soy sauce color, filter out the medicine residue and pear residue with gauze.

Pour the filtered pear water back into the pot, simmer on low heat, stir a few times from time to time to prevent sticking to the pot, when the pear water is concentrated to a liquid cream, add rock sugar, stir until the rock sugar melts, turn off the heat and serve.

After finishing everything, the two of them were sweating profusely, the kitchen was in a mess, and the hour hand on the wall also pointed to two o'clock. At this moment, Liu Yunjuan went downstairs to the kitchen door, "Hiss, you two... burned the kitchen?"

Li Chen turned around, pointed to the glass bottle and said, "Mom, Xia Xia and I boiled the autumn pear cream, do you want to make a cup and try it?"

Qiuli cream?
Ever since his son came to Jiangcheng, he has developed a strong interest in fruits, whether he squeezed juice or boiled jam, and now he cooks autumn pear paste, but...seeing him so focused, he feels very relieved.
