Chapter 55 Picking Plums

Well, in the end, Mrs. Wu was persuaded, so she carried a basket on her back and prepared to go to the foot of the mountain to pick plums.

Together with Xue Huaijing, Xu Anbao, Liu Shi and Zhu Shi.

When they heard that they were going to pick plums, they were all a little puzzled. They didn't know why they suddenly wanted to pick these sour plums, but Mrs. Wu gave the order, and everyone set out to pick plums together with their baskets on their backs.

As for why so many people were called, the main reason was that Xu Lingyue wanted to pick more plums. Whether it was successful or not was another matter. At most, he would try a few more times. Anyway, the plums would not go bad for a while, so pick more plums first to save money and pick them later.

Of course, they haven't talked about making it into candied fruit yet, and they will tell everyone after it succeeds.

As for Xue Huaijing, it's just a make up.

A few people came to the foot of the mountain, where there were several plum trees, and they saw that the ground was covered with overripe plums. Although there were still some plums on the trees, there were not many of them, but there were quite a lot of them together. of.

Wu Shi ordered: "Everyone try to pick as much as possible."

Although the few people who didn't know the situation were puzzled, they obediently went to pick it.

After picking for a while, there were already a lot of plums. Some of the taller plums could not be picked, so they had to give up. Soon the bottom plums were almost picked, and the baskets of several people were almost full.

She looked at the plums in the basket with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, let's go back."

On the way back, I inevitably met the villagers in the village. Seeing that they had picked so many plums, I was a little puzzled.

When she saw an old lady walking towards her, she asked puzzledly, "Sister Wu, why did you pick so many sour plums? These plums are very unpalatable."

Of course, Mrs. Wu would not be foolish enough to tell the other party about making them into candied fruit. She said helplessly: "Oh, my girl has a lot of tricks, and she said she would use this plum to make something delicious for me to eat. No, I'll just pick some and bring them back for her to play with."

Seeing Wu's doting on her daughter so much, the aunt frowned, obviously disapproving.

After all, this daughter is married and will belong to someone else's family in the future. No matter how well she is raised, she will be raised for other people's family. Which family will be like this Wu's, who will give her daughter whatever she wants. No wonder Xu Lingyue is so lazy. And tricky temper.

Now, which family in the village is willing to marry the Xu family's daughter? It's not cost-effective to marry her back as a Buddha offering.

The aunt really couldn't see it anymore, so she said bitterly: "Sister Wu, this is not the way to spoil a girl, don't blame me for speaking badly, if you don't care about that girl, I'm afraid she won't be able to get married."

Wu Shi was not happy to hear the other party say bad things about Guaibao. Even though she knew that the other party was trying to persuade her, she still changed her face.

And Xu Lingyue behind said, didn't the aunt see her? Wasn't it embarrassing for her to speak so loudly in front of her?

Eating radishes is nothing to worry about, it's none of her business whether she gets married or not.

Wu rolled her eyes, and said angrily: "Liu Cuihua, don't curse my baby, who says you can't get married, we made an agreement with the Song family, as long as the two children nod, the marriage will be done. "

After a pause, she said angrily: "You should still care about your little girl, she has a gentle temper and hasn't been married yet, so she has become an old girl."

Tch, dare to say her sweetheart.

As soon as Liu Cuihua heard about her daughter, her expression turned ugly.

Hmph, this Wu family, she doesn't listen to good words to persuade her, bah, she doesn't believe that the Song family will be willing to marry Xu Lingyue, she is just talking nonsense.

Moreover, Xu Lingyue also brought back from the mountain a wild boy who didn't know where he came from. It was spread all over the village, bah, shameless.

Seeing her deflated, Wu's face was full of joy, and she said proudly: "Baby, let's go."

Everyone obediently followed Mrs. Wu and left.

Liu Cui stomped her feet angrily, cursed behind her back, and stared at Wu shi.

Soon, everyone arrived home, and there was still some sugar in the house, so Xu Lingyue was going to wash some of it first and try to make it.

Mrs. Liu didn't dare to ask Mrs. Wu what the plums were used for, so she came to ask Xu Lingyue. After all, her temper has improved a lot these past few days, and Mrs. Liu dared to talk to her.

She asked curiously: "Little sister, what are these plums for?"

Xu Lingyue explained: "Sister-in-law, I want to make them into candied fruit. If they are delicious, we can sell them."

Upon hearing that this was the case, Mrs. Liu hurriedly said to help her.

After all, there is money to be made, and she is still very willing to help. For some reason, Liu has a feeling that this little girl will definitely have a great future.

Hearing this, Xu Lingyue readily agreed, nodded and said: "Okay, the third sister-in-law will wash these plums first."

Liu quickly rolled up her sleeves and started working.

At this time, Mrs. Wu had already gone out to visit, but Xu Lingyue felt that she probably went to Song's house.

It may be that Liu Cuihua's words stimulated her, and she went out as soon as she came back.

The two quickly washed the plums, and then began to try to make them.

First cut a cross knife on the plum, then boil it in water, wait for the color to turn yellow, then take it out to cool, and put it on a bamboo stick to dry the water.

Then boil some sugar water, put the dried plums in and soak them for a few hours, then pour out the excess sugar liquid, and then put the pickled plums into a jar, fortunately there is another jar, Add a little more sugar, stir, and marinate for a few hours. Finally, put the marinated plums and sugar solution in the pot and cook for a while, then take it out and let it cool naturally, and then put it on bamboo sticks to dry. , dried plums are ready.

After finishing all this, it was already afternoon, and the candied peaches were almost dry at this time, so Xu Lingyue hurried to get a piece to taste.

She took a bite of a small piece and tasted it carefully. It was sweet, with a bit of toughness when bitten down. It chewed like a fudge, with QQ bouncing, accompanied by a simple taste of peach fragrance. Taking a bite is simply full of happiness. Full, delicious to burst.

Xue Huaijing came over at some point, swallowed greedily, and asked with some doubts: "Sister Ah Yue, what are you eating?"

Hearing this, Xu Lingyue handed him a piece of candied peach, and said with a smile, "Neng, eat it."

After he took it and asked, he felt a faint peach fragrance, and then he took a bite, his eyes lit up instantly, and his face immediately showed a look of enjoyment.

Soon, he finished eating a piece, and quickly said: "It's delicious, I want more."

Xu Lingyue handed him another piece.

"delicious."

Seeing that he likes eating so much, Xu Lingyue has more confidence in the business of selling preserved fruits.
