The full-level master chef made a big spoon in the 80s

Chapter 37 Talking about a business
Do canned fruit?
When the owner of the supply and marketing cooperative heard what Xu Nan said, he quickly waved his hands, thinking what good things could be done with that thing:

"If you want to eat canned food, then you can just buy it directly. I happen to have some in this store."

"It's good to eat ready-made ones, but it's troublesome to make, and it's not necessarily delicious if you make it yourself."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the counter on one side, rummaged through it again and again, and finally found the last bottle of canned yellow peaches from the shelf in the big inner room.
The old house is very dusty, and a layer of dust has accumulated on the caps of canned yellow peaches.

The owner of the supply and marketing cooperative casually wiped the dust on the bottle cap with his hands, wiped the bottle cap clean, then handed it to Xu Nan, and said with a smile on his face:

"Look at how lucky you are. This is the last bottle of canned food on the shelf. If you come later, you may not be able to buy it. If you want this bottle, I will sell it to you."

"Recently, the autumn harvest is quite busy. Our family is busy harvesting rice. There is no one to look after the store, so I don't have time to go to the city to buy goods. You see, these shelves are selling fast these days. empty."

After speaking, he pointed to the last bottle of canned yellow peaches on the table:
"Now these canned yellow peaches are in short supply."

In the 80s, materials were scarce, transportation was not developed, and there were only a few fruits that could be exchanged.

In this day and age, people usually go to the hospital to visit patients, or to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year. Everyone would like to buy a few bottles of canned yellow peaches and brown sugar as gifts.

The owner of the supply and marketing cooperative was worried while talking. Many daily necessities are almost sold out. When the rice at home is finished, even the day lily will be cold.

Xu Nan took the canned yellow peaches from the owner of the supply and marketing cooperative, and realized belatedly that he didn't come here to buy canned food.

Off topic, off topic.

But now there are no glass bottles, so her plan to make fruit cans will be ruined.

Just thinking about the pile of fruits at home gives her a headache.

Holding the canned yellow peaches in his hands, Xu Nan was chatting with the owner of the supply and marketing cooperative, while looking at the goods in the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there was anything that could replace the glass bottle.

Xu Nan looked at it for a long time, and just when she was about to give up, she caught a glimpse of the big barrel used to hold sesame paste in the grain and oil area. There was a large cardboard box beside the barrel, and there was a glass bottle of sesame paste inside.

In the 80s, general condiments were sold in bulk.

Bulk liquor, loose soft sugar in large bags, soy sauce and vinegar in barrels, and then people will come from home to buy empty bottles.

Xu Nan walked over excitedly, and took out a glass bottle from the cardboard box. Although it was a little small, it should still be usable.

Is it just this bottle that can be sold?

If someone comes to make sesame paste at that time, and the bottle is not enough, it will be embarrassing.

So Xu Nan held up the glass bottle and asked the owner of the supply and marketing cooperative:

"Boss, can you sell me a few of these glass bottles?"

The owner of the supply and marketing cooperative looked at it and nodded again and again. You see, this is just a glass bottle, and he has forgotten it.

He thought at the time that there were no glass bottles on the shelves.

Usually, when he buys a large bucket of sesame paste, he will come with a box of glass bottles.

But when most people come to make sesame paste, they bring their own bottles. Over time, he has accumulated a lot of sesame paste bottles here.

Seeing this, the boss of the supply and marketing cooperative asked Xu Nan:

"You can use as many as you want. This thing is free and doesn't cost money. I don't like taking up space if I put it here."

Just took it to help him clean up the bottom of the goods.

Seeing this, Xu Nan looked down at the bottles in the cardboard box, and counted them in his heart. There must be more than 100 bottles inside.

It would be fine if she only used three or two, but if she moved all of them away, what would happen if she didn't give them money.

Xu Nan looked at the boss of the supply and marketing cooperative, and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone:

"Brother, I want all these, you can make a price, I can't take your things for nothing."

take them all?

The owner of the supply and marketing cooperative looked at Xu Nan with a cold face, and thought to himself that there are so many glass bottles, how many cans should be made?
The owner of the supply and marketing cooperative organized the language, and after a while asked:
"You want so many glass bottles, how many cans do you want to make?"

These more than 100, even if they are stored for a long time, you can't make so many. Even if you eat them every day, don't you have to eat them until the Chinese New Year?

Seeing the shocked look of the owner of the supply and marketing cooperative, Xu Nan explained to him that he planned to sell the finished canned food.

The owner of the supply and marketing agency immediately became interested when he heard this, and looked at Xu Nan and said to her with great interest:

"Then when you're done, I'll see how it goes. It just so happens that the canned food here is out of stock, and I don't know when it will arrive."

"If you cook something delicious, then I'll buy from you. What do you think?"

As soon as Xu Nan heard it, she agreed, she had such a good opportunity, of course she had to hurry up.

...

Back home, Xu Nan first boiled a pot of boiling water, counted ten glass bottles bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, put them in and boiled them for a while to sterilize them.

Because it was the first time to do it, she didn't dare to do too much. If the taste was bad, wouldn't it be all ruined.

She wouldn't do such a thing as wasting ingredients!

Xu Nan took the boiled and sterilized bottle out of the pot and put it aside for later use, and then began to process the fruit.

She first peeled the peaches and cut them in half with a knife to remove the core, then cut them into appropriate sizes and put the peaches into glass bottles.

Then he took out the lychees picked in the space today from the basket on the side.

Xu Nan peeled one and planned to taste it. The instant he peeled it, the lychees in the room were full of aroma, and the white flesh was sweet and delicious in his mouth. After eating, he felt much happier.

Xu Nan thought, if the lychees are not preserved, it is better to make some more canned lychees.

She divided half of the remaining lychee and kept it for Lu Nanzhou and the others when they came back so they could try something new. After all, it's not the season to eat lychee.

Let her make the remaining half into canned fruit, which can be stored for a longer period of time.

The fruits that Xu Nan picked from the space, basically she cut a little bit of every kind into the can.

After finishing everything, Xu Nan poured an appropriate amount of water into the can, added rock sugar and soft white sugar, put the lid on the glass bottle without tightening it, and then put it on the pot to steam.

After doing all this, just as Xu Nan took off his apron, the doorbell rang.

When Xu Nan heard this, he hurried over to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, Mother Lu stood at the door with a displeased face, obviously in a bad mood.

And Lu's father behind him stood aside with an embarrassing expression on his face.

Why did I go to see Li Cuiqing and come back like this?
Xu Nan was puzzled. After the door opened, Lu's mother saw that it was Xu Nan who opened the door. She didn't want to bring her bad mood home and in front of her children.

But the disgusting faces of Li Cuiqing and his family made her really unbearable.

She squeezed a smile that was uglier than crying at Xu Nan, and then she probably realized that she was too reluctant and became expressionless.

In the living room, Mother Lu couldn't help but yell at Father Lu:

"I don't care, I'll go back to my hometown tomorrow!"

"I went to the clinic because she is my mother-in-law. I went to see her for love, not to get angry!"
