"A stupid elm head!"

Aunt Wang was so angry that she wanted to hit her son with a spatula. "Erni is ten years old, and she can talk about her husband's family right away. If you don't get along with her, a good daughter-in-law will become her husband's family."

"Mom, you should wake up, you don't know what's going on in our family, what are you going to do with the Jiang family?"

Wang Erlang didn't want to argue with his old lady about useless things, so he picked up a piece of hot noodle cake, switched his left and right hands twice, and walked out of the kitchen while eating.

Instead of having unrealistic dreams like my old lady, it is better to have a variety of golden ears.When I earn a lot of money, still worry about not being able to find a good wife?

There are quite a lot of people who are as thoughtful as Aunt Wang, and the door of the Jiang family is almost broken down these days.

Some talked to Jiang Cheng and Jiang Quan, and some went directly to Jiang Erlang to match Er Ni.

There are a few more outrageous ones who even want to say baby kiss to Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu, who is more than four years old.

Chunniang was speechless, and politely declined the visits of the seven aunts and eight aunts.

For some reason, no one mentioned Yingbao.

Yingbao has been very busy recently, studying medicine and martial arts at the same time, and had to go to the wild with her master to identify herbs.

Many medicinal materials can be found in the countryside, such as thistle, banzhilian, northern Bupleurum, mint, pinellia, banlan, pulsatilla and so on.

Each has different effects, such as large thistle can stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, Bupleurum Radix can treat typhoid cold, Pulsatilla can treat postpartum blood deficiency and diarrhea in women, cat's claw can treat sore throat.

After some identification of medicines, Yingbao realized that the weeds and vegetables she usually saw were medicinal materials.

Including some trees, fruits, flowers, etc., each of which has its curative effect.

Yingbao used to dig medicine with a shovel, but later she stopped digging and only carefully recorded the names of weeds.

Combined with the prescriptions that she had recited before, she felt that she had entered a large natural medicine storehouse.

Every grass in the field is medicine, and every wild vegetable is also medicine. If you want to make medicine in the future, you can get local materials yourself, and you don't need to go to the pharmacy to buy them.

"Huh? Look at that hen!" Erni, who was learning to distinguish medicine together, pointed to a place and shouted.

Yingbao looked up, and saw that her reed chicken was fighting with a wild duck, and the feathers on its neck were blown up.

The flat-billed wild duck lost to the sharp-billed big fat chicken, but it did not escape, and quacked angrily around the reed chicken.

And there are several fluffy ducklings caged under the body of the reed chicken, as many as eight ducklings.

It turned out that this reed chicken actually robbed the ducklings of other wild ducks, and tenderly held worms for the ducklings to eat.

The ducklings are also very attached to it, and they follow wherever the reed chicken goes.

The mother duck was not reconciled to her cub being taken away, and kept rushing up to try to get it back.

It's a pity that the duckling doesn't follow the mother duck, but clings to the mother reed chicken.

Everyone was stunned, including Ying Bao.

This hen is too domineering.

Not only snatched the cubs of wild ducks, but also brought them home.

The mother duck followed all the way to the gate of Jiang's house, and saw her child being led in by the damn big fat chicken, quacking and screaming outside in anger, and finally had to fly away unwillingly.

Chunniang was very happy to see that her reed chicken brought back a group of ducklings, so she immediately grabbed a handful of yellow rice and fed it to the ducklings.

Since then, Jiang Sanlang's family has added a group of ducklings.

In mid-April, the fruits in Jiang Sanlang's orchard gradually matured.

Apricots and peaches are all over the branches, and the yellow and pink are tender and tender, making people drool.

This made Jiang Quan very happy.

With the consent of his little cousin, he picked a few baskets of apricots and peaches and shipped them to the market to sell, but the result was not satisfactory.

After a banditry in Chuanhe Town, everyone's life is very tight, and few are willing to spend money to buy snacks.

That's right, in the eyes of the villagers, these fruits are snacks that are not very hungry, and only pregnant women and children will eat them.

Most villagers would rather spend two cents for a black-faced steamed bun than to spend one penny for two apricots to try.

This made Jiang Quan very frustrated.

Yingbao picked an apricot and took a bite. It was sweet and a little sour, better than last year's apricots.

The peaches are also good, big and sweet, with a strong peach flavor, and they are much tastier than last year's peaches.

Is this the credit of Pupil Spring?

A while ago, she used the pupil spring to water all the plants in the house, including those pepper seedlings and grape seedlings.

The crops that had been watered by the spring grew so fast that she was too scared to water them again.

After that, I occasionally watered the vegetables in the vegetable garden, because the Jiang family had a large population, and Zhang Meng and Xu Kun, the two Wu masters, also had a lot of food, so the vegetables were consumed quickly, and the seedlings had to be stimulated.

The few apple trees planted by Yingbao on the brown land grew faster, and they were now more than ten feet tall, and they seemed to be still growing.

It's just that those apple trees didn't bloom and bear fruit, but stretched their branches and leaves wildly and grew upwards. It is estimated that they will be able to reach the top of the cave in a few days.

The melons planted with them have matured and are very crispy, sweet and delicious.

Yingbao borrowed the name of the cantaloupe in the vegetable garden to take some out, and distributed some to her family and her master.

Master Xiao Zhenniang liked it very much, and lamented that her son and her husband had no good luck.

Sister Wen also likes it very much, but she is reserved and won't say it out of her mouth.

"There are so many fruits that can't be sold or eaten, alas, what a waste." Jiang Quan looked at the fruit trees and sighed.

Ying Bao didn't care, "If you can't finish eating, make preserved fruit. The second aunt told me yesterday that apricots are the best preserved fruit."

Jiang Quan's eyes lit up: "Can it really be made into candied fruit?"

"Yeah, why don't you go and ask the second aunt, when the preserved fruit is sold and sold, the three of us will share it equally."

Yingbao picked another peach and took a bite. It was sweet and delicious.

It is incredible that no one buys such a delicious fruit.

Jiang Quan ran to find his second aunt Yanru, "Second Aunt, Yingbao said you can make preserved fruit, is that true?"

Yanru nodded: "It's not difficult to make preserved fruit, but it takes sugar. Ten catties of apricots need at least two catties of icing sugar."

"Ah? So many." Jiang Quan scratched his head.This is a little tricky.

As we all know, sugar is more expensive, more expensive than salt.

Brown sugar is currently the cheapest, but brown sugar is not very sweet, not as sweet as sugar sand and icing sugar.Jiang Quan has eaten candied fruit, and it is so sweet, it must not be made of brown sugar.

The frosting costs sixty yuan a catty, and two catties of frosting makes ten catties of apricots. After the dried fruit is dried, it is estimated that there is not even a catty.

It's not worth it either.

Jiang Quan left dejectedly.

I found my little cousin again and complained: "It's not worth it. The second aunt said that ten catties of apricots should use at least two catties of icing sugar, otherwise they won't taste good. Two catties of icing sugar cost more than 100 coins, and in the end, only one catty of dried apricots could be dried. How does this make money?"

Yingbao asked: "How much does a catty of preserved apricots sell in the market?"

Jiang Quan blinked, thought for a while and said, "I haven't bought preserved apricots, but I have bought candied fruit. One set of six candied fruit costs fifteen yuan."

Six candied red dates cost at least two taels, that is to say, two taels of candied fruit costs fifteen Wen, so a catty of candied fruit costs 120 Wen.

It costs more than 100 Wen of sugar to make a pound of preserved fruit, and the cost of apricots is not counted here.

No matter how you look at it, it is a loss-making business.

"The candied fruit has pits in it, so it must be weighed, and the preserved apricots don't have pits in them, so the price will naturally be higher." Ying Bao said, "Why don't we try to make a little less, or eat it at home if it doesn't work."

Jiang Quan reluctantly agreed, "Okay, let's try first."
