After these days of preparation, the canned fish was finally about to be canned, and Lin Xueman was very excited.

Those small yellow croakers have all been marinated, with salt, pepper, and a little caramel, thick, like clods, the sugar here is like this.

I don't really worry about the materials for making these canned fish, just go to the town to buy what is missing, and now she still has some scraps of silver in her hand, although it is not much, but it is not spent on weekdays, barely enough, she is most worried The problem is still the sealing problem. It is still cold right now, so keeping it like this is not a problem, but no one can guarantee whether it will be able to keep it when it is hot.

After thinking hard for a long time, she suddenly remembered that when she lived at her grandma's house in the country, because in summer, there were so many tomatoes planted in the yard that she couldn't eat them, so grandma found a canning bottle, chopped the tomatoes, and sealed them in the bottle. Put it in a pot and steam it, and those tomato sauces can be eaten until winter, and the taste has not changed at all.

To put it bluntly, the principle of this simple method is to use high temperature to sterilize and achieve the problem of sealing. Now, her canned fish can only use this simple method to preserve these small fish!

Thinking of this, she was overjoyed, and carefully put the seasoned small fish into a clay jar, then sealed the mouth of the jar with the softened wide reed leaves that her mother-in-law said, and wrapped them with thread. Tight, well, the preliminary process of a canned fish has been completed!

I wrapped more than 20 bottles in one breath, then took the wooden grate and steamed it in a pot.

After a while, the smell of fish wafted out, and it seemed that the taste was not bad.

After those clay pots cool down.She also took the hard paper cut in advance to the size of the bottle mouth, covered the bottle mouth, then covered it with a square red cloth, and wrapped it tightly with thick thread.

A beautiful can is ready.

Lin Xueman looked at it for a while, then laughed, it was not bad, and excitedly fetched a brush, sharpened the inkstone, and thought about how to design a pattern on the clay pot.At least our cans should have a trademark, right?

what name should I choose?

After thinking about it for a long time, I still think it is better to use the name of the place, at least let me know where the fish came from!

She picked up a brush and wrote "Longtan Flavor" tremblingly on the clay pot, then drew a circle around it, and wrote "Spicy Small Yellow Fish" in a slightly larger font on the side.Well, although the words are not very good, it can be regarded as a trademark design.

"Oh, sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Xiao Yun hurried in, bringing in a gust of cold wind.

"Make canned fish! How about it? Doesn't it look good!" Lin Xueman handed her the clay pot in his hand.A little proud, "Isn't it beautiful?"

"Is this the canned fish you mentioned? It's so beautiful!" Xiao Yun took it.Looking at it carefully, with a smile on his face, he praised, "Sister-in-law, with this clay pot and this design, it should be sold at a good price."

"Well. Although the taste is important, the packaging is also very important. Especially when you sell it in the capital." Lin Xueman said, another thought came to her mind. It's the same as putting it in a pocket. When selling, people just carry the pocket with their hands and walk away. Wouldn't it be better?

What's more, it's easy to find the kind of discarded small-eye fishing rods for catching small shrimps. There are a lot of them piled up at the base of the wall at home. They don't need to be woven, and the fishing rods used in a clay pot are not big. Reusing waste, thinking about it, she felt ecstasy in her heart, that's it!

Lin Xueman conveniently opened a clay pot and handed it to Xiao Yun: "Try it, how does it taste?"

"It's so delicious! It's still a little sweet." Xiao Yun pinched a small fish and tasted it in his mouth. He looked surprised and asked again, "Sister-in-law, how much do you sell this canned fish for?"

"I don't know! Let's talk about it when Uncle Wang comes!" Lin Xueman also pinched one and put it in her mouth, and chewed it. It was a little spicy and a little sweet, similar to those canned fish she had eaten in her previous life, okay, spicy Take a can of small yellow croaker, done!

"Father has been talking about it for the past few days, saying that it's time for Uncle Wang to come!" Xiao Yun simply took a pair of chopsticks and ate them one by one.

The aunt and sister-in-law had been busy for a whole day before they put all the small fish on the kang into clay pots, steamed them in a pot, packed them, and placed them neatly on the east kang.

Looking at the clay pot with the Little Red Riding Hood, Lin Xueman thumped her sore waist, and breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally done!

Xiao Yun also only complained that she was too tired, and as soon as she was done with work, she hurried home, explaining that she would go to the seaside to help her elder brother and second brother clean up the fish, and the work she took on was not finished yet!

"I'll go to the beach with you tomorrow to help them clean up the fish." Lin Xueman shouted behind her, this sister-in-law is really impatient, she ran away before finishing her sentence!

"Okay, I'll call you when the time comes." Xiao Yun had already run to the courtyard of the old house, and replied back.

Lin Xueman ate some food in a hurry, boiled some water, washed up, and then went to bed to rest.

Lying on the bed, watching the moonlight coming in from the window, she couldn't help but think of Xiao Chengyu again, what is he doing now?

Are you on duty by the sea under the cold wind?

Does the Thousand Reefs have many reefs?

Although he had only been gone for three or two days, she felt that he seemed to have been gone for a long time. She gently stroked the place where he had slept, and this person was actually quite nice.

Thinking of what he asked her that night, her face blushed again. If he came back and made such a request again, wouldn't she be able to refuse?

She pulled up the quilt, covered her hot face, and thought, if only she had a mobile phone, she could call him or send him a text message to ask, oh my god, what was she thinking?This is ancient times, what kind of mobile phone do you think...

Although the lights in the old house were also turned off, Xiao Jingzhi and his wife lost sleep!

"Cheng Yu has been gone for several days, and I don't know what happened!" Yang turned over and sighed softly.This child has grown up so much that he has hardly left him. Although he used to go out often, but this time the place he went to was a bit far away. As a mother, I don't feel at ease.

"I've been to that Qianjiao Island. The local people are simple and honest. As long as you don't run into those vicious pirates, nothing will happen." Xiao Jingzhi replied softly, "Besides, he will be back in a few days. , don't worry!"

"In the past few days, I was cleaning the fish at the beach, and found that Zhao Ziliang has been wandering around the beach. Could it be that he is a member of the yamen now?" Yang turned to look at him.

"He's the brother-in-law of Luzhi County! Cheng Yu and the others are not here, so I came to help to take a look. The last time there was a ship robbery, the court sent people down to investigate. Can you be more cautious?"

"By the way, his father, Xueman's father came to the door a few days ago, and took Xueman to the Yamen for a long time, and finally Cheng Yu went to bring her back. Tell me, does Xueman's father dislike her?" Come on us?"

"I asked Cheng Yu about this, and he said that Xueman's father didn't agree with this marriage at all, and he wanted Xueman to remarry." Xiao Jingzhi said in a deep voice, "It seems that this in-law's family is not easy to get along with. How can there be a good reason to let your daughter remarry?"

"That's right! Do you think he will force Xueman to go back to the capital with him?" Yang began to worry.If that's the case, wouldn't it be a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket?

"No, I've inquired about it. Xueman's father was ordered to come here this time to investigate the last time the Zhongyihou was attacked by pirates near Qianjiao Island. Think about it, if he wants to force Xueman to go back to Beijing with him, Can you let Xueman come back?"

"So he's still a high official!" Yang was startled, no wonder he was so airy, he didn't come when he was invited to sit at home.

"What's wrong with the senior official? If he treats us well as an in-law, we'll treat him according to reason. If he wants to take his daughter away with arrogance, we'll go to the yamen to file a lawsuit with him."

As the saying goes, there is no reason to take back the water that is spilled on a married daughter?

It seems that this in-law is not a reasonable person either, so what's wrong with being an official?Being an official has to be reasonable, right?

"Hey!" Yang sighed again when she heard the words, "If Xueman insists on not following his father, it's not a big deal. After all, we don't want to cling to others. We live our lives, and he will take care of us." His official is just his in-laws after all, if he comes to Longtan Town, we must make a statement, right?"

She thought for a while, and then said: "We hired Lin Xuechuan, and we married Lin Xueman. What if his father insists on not acknowledging this marriage with this as an excuse?"

"What should we do? We got married according to the marriage contract. The Lin family changed the bride in private, which means that their family is willing to marry Lin Xueman over. What does it have to do with us? Our family didn't go to their family's theory because we didn't want to be troublesome. Are they reasonable?" Xiao Jingzhi said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about this matter, let's talk about it! You are a person who can't stop worrying."

"How can I not worry? Right now, the three sons are all married to their wives. Although they are sometimes noisy, we have settled down a few things, and we are considered adults after all! But your two daughters I've reached the age of marriage, but you see, one is more worried than the other, tell me, can I not worry about it!"

"Daughter is easy to talk about. When you meet the right one, you can marry as soon as you say you want, don't worry!"

"It would be nice if it was as light as you said. You men are always open-minded, as if women are naturally willing to worry about this."

"Okay, okay, go to sleep! Take your time, which family lives differently, don't think about it!" Xiao Jingzhi comforted.

Mrs. Yang sighed softly, remembered something, and asked, "When you handed over the writing brush bought by eldest sister to Mrs. Xu, what was Mrs. Xu's attitude?"

"Actually, I didn't give the brush to Master Xu." Xiao Jingzhi said unhurriedly, "You think, Master Xu is so smart, if you give him the brush, will he accept it or not? It can't be done that way! My younger sister is always a child, no matter what, how can I follow her temperament?"

"Then it seems Master Xu didn't leave Longtan Town because of my eldest sister, so I can rest assured."

"Don't think about it, he is going to take the exam, what does it have to do with our family, what are you thinking all day, you guys." Xiao Jingzhi couldn't laugh or cry. (To be continued.
