Chapter 61
"It's right in front, next to the supply and marketing cooperative!"

Although she didn't know what Ye Wanjun was planning, Song Juan didn't intend to turn against him.Besides, this is just a simple question, Song Juan has no reason to refuse.

"Thank you!"

After knowing the answer, Ye Wanjun said a few words to Song Laifu, then hurried to the supply and marketing cooperative, and came back after a while.

One popsicle per person, even Song Laifu and Song Juan have it.

Very good at being a man!
Seeing Ye Wanjun's way of acting, Song Juan still admired the heroine's demeanor.

Although the heroine is reborn and followed the script of the mistress, but it must be admitted that Ye Wanjun is still very good at winning people's hearts.

Banpo Village is not far from Qiaojia Town Commune, and the road is fairly flat. The group arrived at Banpo Village not long after.

Song Juan did not follow Song Laifu to send Ye Wanjun and others to the team headquarters, but ran to Song Guoqing's house first.

At this moment, the popsicle that Song Juan brought had already started to melt.

Wang Lanhua didn't go to work in the field today, because she stayed with another woman in the village to take care of the little children in the village.

During the busy farming season, Banpo Village will arrange people to stay in the village to take care of the children of each household.

This errand looks easy, but it is not easy, after all, a group of children are very skinny.

After Song Juan found Wang Lanhua, she knew that her popsicles could only be shared equally among all the babies.

What's more, the only way to turn the popsicles into ice water is to give each person a small spoonful.

Although it doesn't have the coolness of eating popsicles, the cold ice water is also a kind of enjoyment on this hot day.

In the end, Song Juan only brought home a popsicle that was about to melt.

This is for my mother.

However, when Song Juan returned home, she found that Li Guilan had already gone to the ground.

Song Juan, who didn't know where Li Guilan had gone, could only put the popsicle in a bowl and watch it slowly turn into ice water, and then stop being cold.

"Oh, if only there was a refrigerator!"

Song Juan began to miss her future life again.

Then, after thinking about it, Song Juan had an idea.

There is no refrigerator.

Although there is already a refrigerator in the city at this moment, it is an absolute luxury, and people like them are not qualified to have it at all.

However, if you don’t have a refrigerator, you can make it yourself!
Making ice with saltpeter is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients.

"When Dad comes back, ask where you can find saltpeter!"

Song Juan put away the bowl of sugar water.

When her mother comes back, she may not be able to restore the popsicles, but there should still be hope for a bowl of cold sugar water.

……

After putting the sugar water away, Song Juan carried the basket on her back, picked up the sickle, locked the door, and walked up the mountain.

Today she is going to go up the mountain to pick wild jujubes and come back to make wild jujube cakes.

This season, the jujubes in the mountains are ripe, and there are quite a lot of jujubes in the mountains of Banpo Village.Song Juan had already observed it when she went up the mountain to cut pigweed.

Especially in the area of ​​Beikuang, there is a forest of wild jujubes.

This kind of jujube tree is a kind of small shrub that does not grow up, and its reproductive capacity is amazing.

People in the village often cut down this jujube tree and put it around the vegetable garden to keep chickens and ducks away, or put it on the courtyard wall to prevent people from climbing over the wall.

After all, the branches of this jujube tree are all thorny.

Song Juan was well prepared for picking jujubes.

She was wearing a thick coarse cloth long dress, and she was wearing the kind of gloves that were not afraid of thorns, just to prevent being scratched by the thorns of the sour jujube tree.

In addition, you have to guard against the larvae of moths on jujube trees, commonly known as foreign peppers.

The hair of this thing is the same as the hair of the pine silkworm. It is poisonous. Once it is stained, it will be sour and refreshing, which will definitely be unforgettable for a long time.

"It's so sweet!"

After arriving at the destination, Song Juan got busy.

She will find two dates to taste each jujube tree.

Although she wanted to make jujube cake, Song Juan didn't like sour ones, she still liked sweet ones.

Of course, sweet and sour is better.

When the sun gradually set to the west, Song Juan also finished her work.

The back basket is half full, if there is more, Song Juan feels that if she carries it home, she will be exhausted and paralyzed.

"Go home!"

Song Juan picked up the basket and set foot on the way home.

On the way, Song Juan was lucky and met her fourth brother, so the heavy basket fell on Song Guoqing's shoulders.

To Song Juan, the carrying basket was a bit heavy, but to Song Guoqing, it was as if it didn't weigh much.

"Little sister, what are you doing with these things?"

"Eating too much sour teeth!"

Song Guoqing really didn't understand what was going on in his little sister's head, and this wasn't the years when food was scarce.

"Then you eat less!"

Sour jujube cake is very delicious.

After all, there will be a lot of sugar in it.

Thinking of this, Song Juan suddenly felt that she was actually quite extravagant.

In this era, whether it is white sugar or brown sugar, it is very scarce.This is her, she is very favored at home, if it is another family, even if it is in the city, it is estimated that she will not be so extravagant.

Back in the village, Song Guoqing helped Song Juan to send the jujube back to Lao Song's house. Just as he was about to leave, Song Juan stopped him and asked him to help find saltpeter.

"What is saltpeter?"

Song Guoqing was stunned.

Seeing her fourth brother's expression, Song Juan waved her hand in disgust.

It seems that this fourth brother can't be counted on.

Think about it carefully, saltpeter seems to be also called ground frost, and there are pigpens, stables, and corners near toilets.

Thinking of this, Song Juan gave up the idea of ​​making ice with saltpeter.

Although this thing can be refrigerated by two layers of condensation, the problem is that just thinking about where this thing was extracted from made Song Juan feel a little nauseous.

Forget it, the cold sugar water plan has been cancelled.

When Li Guilan came back, she only had a bowl of sugar water in the end.

But even so, Li Guilan was very happy.

To her, it doesn't matter whether the popsicle is popsicle or not, the important thing is that the girl has her as a mother in her heart, which is better than anything else.

During dinner, Song Juan mentioned her idea of ​​making jujube cake.

Li Guilan called a show of approval.

Song Laifu naturally wouldn't object.

There are three people in a family, and if two people have to do something, the third person can only compromise. This is called democracy.

"Juan'er, how much sugar do you need to make jujube cake? Is there enough sugar for our family?"

"If it's not enough, go to the supply and marketing agency tomorrow to buy some, I still have a lot of candy tickets here!"

Li Guilan took out all the candy tickets from the drawer.

Song Juan hurriedly said, "Mom, that's enough!"

"I don't intend to do too much!"

"Those jujubes weigh more than 20 catties at least!"

Li Guilan felt that the can of sugar at home might not be enough.

"Mom, the jujube has been pitted, how much is there left?"

"By the way, Mom, I heard that jujube seeds can be used as medicine, so go back and ask my second brother, do the pharmacies in the city accept them?"

Song Juan also thought of this by accident.

A little sister I met back then, who lives in a rural area, said that in the fall, they had a work-study program, and how many date pits did each person bring to school.
