After crossing, I look forward to the three stepmothers leaving the singles every day

Chapter 11 No way to explain

In fact, Nan Xing discovered from the original host's memory that there was an old apricot tree growing on this mountain, but the people in Xiaozhai Village didn't know what this wild fruit was called.

Every year at this time, the fruit is full of fruit, and the locals know that it is sour and astringent, so basically they will not pick it and eat it.

Only some children in the village are really hungry, they will go up to pick one or two to taste, that's all.

There has never been anyone like her who specially asked someone to bring two small baskets to pick them. People who don't know think how delicious these wild fruits are.It just so happened that Lu Jingyou and Mo Xi belonged to this situation, so they were quickly deceived by her.

Since they went down the mountain together, although Mo Xi felt dissatisfied, she still took the stick from Chunmei's hand gracefully, and helped the two of them pick out a basket.

Going down the mountain was faster than going up the mountain. The group of people went down to the foot of the mountain after a short walk, and after a short walk, they arrived at the gate of Nanxing's house.

After Lu Jingyou and Mo Xi left, Qiu Ju went to prepare lunch, Nan Xing and Chun Mei took out the apricots from the basket and sorted them one by one.

The big and good ones are put in a pile, the damaged ones are put in a pile, and the rest seem to be similar, so they are piled up directly.

After finishing her work, Chunmei couldn't help her teeth sore: "So many..."

Nan Xing still felt that it was too little, and said with a smile: "After lunch, we will go to pit these apricots."

"Denucleation?" Chunmei looked surprised, and when she wanted to ask "why", she saw Luo Yunfei and Ji Xiangyan came back.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, when they squinted at the three piles of wild fruits on the ground, they couldn't help but grit their teeth: "Xing'er, what are you doing?"

Nan Xing said cheerfully, "Er Niang, the apricot fruit on the mountain has grown really well this year, and the trees are full of them. I'll pick some back in two days."

"...Apricot fruit?" Luo Yunfei looked at the bruise on her forehead, it seemed that it had faded a lot, but her mind was still confused. This wild fruit is sour and astringent. It is really thankless to have to work hard to throw it away.

"That's right. When we were going down the mountain, we happened to meet Little Doctor Lu. He said that the wild fruits we picked were apricots."

Luo Yunfei nodded, smiled wryly in her heart, and squeezed a smile on her face: "Okay, it's up to you."

Nan Xing saw the reluctance in her smile, and didn't care because they only knew that these wild fruits could be eaten raw.

So, she had no choice but to change the subject and asked, "Er Niang, what can you gain from going out today?"

Luo Yunfei's face darkened: "The good land can be taken back after the summer harvest is over, but the dry land has been abandoned for several years, and it is full of weeds. After the weeds have been removed in the past few days, turn over the soil and sprinkle some rapeseed on it. Just plant some bean sprouts."

Nan Xing looked at her expression and felt that something was wrong, so she quickly pulled Ji Xiangyan aside: "Ma'am, Er Niang, what's the matter? The fertile land can be taken back, and the dry land can be cleaned up at that time, and things can be planted. It sounds like it's going well, why doesn't she seem very happy?"

Ji Xiangyan glanced at Luo Yunfei, then shook her head and explained: "Because the lease period hasn't arrived yet, your second wife has to take it back in advance, and you have to pay [-]% of the rent, and this year's harvest is not so good. It is estimated that the rent in hand will be much less than in previous years.”

"Is that so?" Nan Xing opened his mouth wide.

"However, we can't blame Liu Dahu. It's about the same level. The second season is about to be planted. It will be difficult for him to find good land to rent. So, your aunt didn't say anything, and directly reduced him by [-]% Your rent." Ji Xiangyan counted with her fingers, and it was [-]% of the rent, her heart was bleeding from the pain.

"...Okay." It turned out that it was a bad start, Nan Xing sighed silently, thinking that the burden of making money in the future would be heavy again.

When eating lunch, looking at the green vegetables and porridge on the table, Nan Xing's appetite only slightly improved.

Qiu Ju's cooking skills are so-so, the only advantage is that she doesn't burn.

So, Nan Xing forced himself to drink a bowl of porridge, ate a few mouthfuls of vegetables, and then put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Her consciousness was immersed in her mind, and she called Yuelao's system, but still did not receive any reply, so she withdrew her consciousness from her mind.

After a while, Luo Yunfei and Ji Xiangyan finished eating, and then pulled a stool in the yard to sit and rest.

Then Jiang Yanhua also finished eating and went back to the room alone. Ever since she turned into a big pie face, she has been very silent.

Qiu Ju and Chun Mei were the last to finish eating. After they silently cleared the table, they also ran to the yard to look for Nan Xing.

Nan Xing gave the two of them a small knife and asked them to help pit the apricots.

Anyway, they had nothing to do, so the two of them followed Nan Xing's instructions.

Afterwards, Nan Xing asked Ji Xiangyan to fetch a basin of clean water for her, and she also brought a basin in her hand.

Two basins of clean water were placed on the ground. As soon as they finished removing the pits, Nan Xing put the pitted apricots in the basin and washed them one by one.

Ji Xiangyan, who was watching from the side, was very puzzled: "Xing'er, what are you doing?"

Xu felt bored, but she actually followed suit to help.

"Make preserved apricots. When they are ready, you and Erniang can take some with you. When you are hungry at work, you can use them to satisfy your hunger." Nan Xing's eyes sparkled, thinking of the preserved apricots he ate before, he felt sour. Sweet and delicious, unique flavor, almost mouth watering.

Ji Xiangyan was stunned: "...Xingpreserved? What is that?"

Qiu Ju and Chun Mei also stared at her with wide eyes, full of puzzlement and suspicion, can something made from this sour and astringent wild fruit be edible?
Nan Xing had no choice but to patiently explain: "Preserved apricot is a kind of snack, but it's delicious. When it's ready, you'll know after tasting it."

By searching the memory of the original host, she found that she had traveled to a very ancient time, not even any dynasty described in the history books, otherwise she would have hugged a few thighs in advance with her "unpredictable prophet" ability. Don't worry at all.

Unexpectedly, in this day and age, they don't even know what this kind of wild fruit is, let alone what is preserved apricot.

Therefore, no matter how you explain it, it is powerless, and you can only speak with facts.

Seeing their pondering faces, Nan Xing smiled: "Trust me, you will definitely like it if it tastes delicious."

After that, she stopped explaining and carefully washed the pitted apricot fruit over and over again.

After washing them, she asked Qiu Ju and Chun Mei to take them to the kitchen.When she saw that Ji Xiangyan wanted to throw away the fruit cores on the ground, she quickly stopped her and pulled the cores aside, indicating that they would still be useful later.

Seeing this, Ji Xiangyan shook her head, thinking that she was confused again, so she let her go on.
