Dressed as the best aunt in farming text

Chapter 54

However, Xu Lingyue didn't react because she had no idea about ancient money. If she knew that 20 taels was enough for an ordinary person to spend two years, she would be surprised for a long time.

She smiled and said, "Brother, since this is the case, let's settle this matter as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Xu Hongfu nodded, and he had a slight change in his heart towards the younger sister in front of him. Ah Yue has really grown up.

Once the jars and sugar are ready, it's time to craft.

Mrs. Wu put the wild grapes into the jar, and Xu Lingyue hurriedly stopped them.

Xu Lingyue was a little puzzled after seeing her operation, and heard that she remembered that the juice was about to be crushed, so she asked, "Mother, don't you need to mash it?"

After hearing her remarks, Mrs. Wu expressed doubts. She didn't seem to understand why she had to mash it, so she asked, "Why do you have to mash it? Isn't it good to just put it in a jar and seal it?"

After hearing what she said, Xu Lingyue finally understood why the wine here is sour, not mashed and even sugar is not added, this method is wrong.

However, she doesn't quite know how the old-fashioned wine is made. Anyway, what she saw on a certain sound is to pound it out of the juice, and then put a layer of grapes and a layer of sugar into the jar to seal it.

She suggested: "Mother, I have an idea, why don't we mash it and put it in, and then spread a layer of sugar, maybe it will have a different effect."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wu thought about it for a while, but she disagreed a little. Is it still edible after mashing it up? It won't be a waste.

Although Xue Huaijing also felt that this proposal was a bit weird, she supported her very much and said, "I think Sister Ah Yue's idea is very good. Adding sugar might make the wine sweet."

Wu Shi also gave her face very much, and quickly agreed to her approach: "That's fine, just give it a try."

Anyway, the candy doesn't cost a lot of money, and the wild grapes are picked on the mountain, so let Guaibao play with it, as long as she likes it.

Xu Lingyue was overjoyed in an instant, and acted quickly.

After putting all the grapes in the big basin, several people began to mash the grapes together to let the juice inside flow out.

When it was almost done, I took a big spoon, dug a big spoon and put it into the jar, and then spread a layer of sugar, just like that, layer after layer, until the jar was full.

Not all four jars were used up, only three were used, and the third one was not completely full.

The next step is to seal the opening of the jar.

The sealed pots here are made of mud, generally speaking, yellow mud from the mountains is used.

Originally Xu Lingyue wanted to go to the mountain again to dig some yellow mud back, but Wu didn't allow her to go, because she was afraid that she would be trapped on the mountain again like last time.

In desperation, this job had to be done by the eldest brother.

The eldest brother immediately took his tools and went up the mountain to dig the yellow mud.

At this time, Mrs. Wu quietly pulled Xu Lingyue aside, frowned and reminded: "Baby, don't get too close to that kid, it would be bad if the Song family sees and misunderstands you."

Hearing this, Xu Lingyue was a little helpless, and nodded perfunctorily to show that she knew, and Wu Shi was relieved.

This marriage couldn't be more promiscuous, after all, she still likes that boy from the Song family, even though he is poorer.

Wu said again: "Wait for Aniang to go to the Song family and ask, what is the meaning of Song boy?"

Hearing this, Xu Lingyue didn't know that she couldn't stop Wu Shi, so she didn't say anything else.

There was still a little peach left from last time, and she wanted to make it into a can, but Xu Lingyue didn't know how to do it, so it's better to make it into dried fruit.

This she knows how to do.

Xu Lingyue didn't know if there was a word for preserved fruit in ancient times, so she used candied fruit instead, and she suggested with some expectation: "Mother, why don't these leftover peaches be made into candied fruit."

Hearing this, Wu Shi nodded in agreement: "This is a good proposal."

However, no one has made candied fruit with peaches yet, and I don’t know if it tastes good, but this method is almost the same.

As soon as she agreed, Xu Lingyue wanted to act immediately, but luckily there was still sugar.

First, wash the peaches, peel them, cut them into small pieces, and remove the core inside.

The mother and daughter worked together, and it was quickly finished. After all, there are not many peaches.

Mrs. Wu ordered: "Go and call your third sister-in-law to light the fire."

She nodded and immediately went to call someone, after all, she doesn't know how to light a fire.

Mrs. Liu came soon, and when she heard that they were making candied fruit, she became a little curious.

Put cold water and sugar into the pot together, bring it to a boil over high heat, then switch to low heat, then put the processed peach thick skin into the pot, cook for a few minutes, then add some sugar and water, and cook again After a few minutes, add some sugar at the end, and turn off the heat after the sugar liquid is thickened.

Then put the thick slices of peach covered in syrup on the bamboo drawer to drain the sugar water.

Xu Lingyue took it out and put it on the wall to dry. Today's sun is quite strong, so I think it will be done soon.

After being busy for so long, Xu Lingyue only felt a sense of accomplishment.

If the preserved fruit is delicious, then they can sell it. Anyway, there should be some on Maotao Mountain, so it won't be a problem to sell it for a while.

Afterwards, Xu Lingyue told Mrs. Wu what she thought, and she said happily: "Mother, if this candied peach is delicious, let's make more and sell it in the town."

Wu Shi asked a little unconfidently: "Will anyone buy it?"

Xu Lingyue was full of confidence, and said with certainty: "It will definitely."

By the way, there are also plums. Since eating alone is very sour, why not make it into candied fruit? Adding sugar can just neutralize it. It is sweet and sour, suitable for appetizers.

Xu Lingyue's ideas kept coming out, and she was looking forward to it very much, and really wanted to start construction now.

After having this idea, she was afraid that those plums would be picked. Even though she knew that it was so sour that no one would eat it, she was a little worried, so she wanted to pick all the plums now.

Then he told Wu about his thoughts.

Mrs. Wu expressed some doubts about her whimsical ideas, so she asked: "Baby, are you sure that plums can be made into candied fruit, and they won't be very sour?"

Seeing that the other party was skeptical, she immediately acted like a baby to Mrs. Wu, hoping that the other party would agree: "Aniang, how will you know if you don't try it? Anyway, this approach is similar. If it succeeds, we can also earn more money. Anyway, apart from sugar If you want money, there are plenty of them on Lizishan.”

"In that case, let's try."

Obviously, Wu Shi was finally tempted by what she said. After all, it was the money for candy. Guaibao was right. If they succeeded, they would not be able to earn an extra income. If this is the case, why not do it.

Seeing that she agreed, Xu Lingyue was extremely happy.

Then he asked her to say: "Then Aunt, let's go pick plums now."

Seeing that she was so anxious to see Xu Lingyue, Wu frowned: "Now?"
