Chapter 31 Native Products ([-])

The two little ones had learned that there was something to eat, and were going to light the fire excitedly.But as soon as the future brother-in-law gave a gift to the elder sister, those four eyes became lanterns.Ji Xinmei stopped in her tracks and approached excitedly and asked, "Sister, what good things did my brother-in-law bring? Open it up and let my sister feast her eyes!"

Although Ji Xinmin is young, children in ancient times matured prematurely.

She also rushed over and stared at the small bag curiously, begging: "Eldest sister, quickly open it to see the gift from elder brother-in-law?"

"Go, go, go! What are children doing to join in the fun? It's not a gift for you. Why are you curious? Hurry up and light the fire, you won't have any of the delicious food in a while!" Seeing her eldest daughter blushing I knew she was shy, so I scolded the two young daughters and pushed them to work.

Ji Xinmin knew that her mother was a knife-mouthed bean curd heart, and she was the youngest in the family, so she would not be afraid of Wang Shi.She shook Ji Xinmiao's hand coquettishly: "Eldest sister, can you open it and show it to Miner? Miner has never seen the gift that elder brother-in-law gave to elder sister."

Seeing that the elder sister was blushing like a shrimp, Ji Xinmei immediately pulled Ji Xinmin and said, "This is a gift from the elder brother-in-law to the elder sister, so we will not read it. Little sister, go and light the fire, there will be rabbit meat to eat soon."

Ji Xinmin continued to shake Ji Xinmiao: "Sister, you are not so stingy, are you?"

It was the first time in this world to receive a gift from her boyfriend, Ji Xinmiao still blushed a little after receiving it, Ji Xinmin's coquettish appearance, and Ji Xinmei's mouth refused to look at it, but the eagerness in her eyes made her stare fiercely He opened it after glancing at her.

It's just that after opening it, Ji Xinmiao's face turned even redder!
A rose-red silk flower, a sandalwood scorpion and the same series of dark wooden combs lie in a small cloth bag.

This man really treats her like a child?Doesn't he know that silk flowers are really good soil?What an idiot, even the gifts are local products.

But Ji Xinmei exclaimed when she saw it: "What a beautiful scorpion and comb, mother, they are actually made of sandalwood! This style is so special, did the elder brother-in-law make it himself?"

Wang looked at it and said happily: "Miao'er, put away the things, this sandalwood is not easy to come by, this thing is very precious. Unexpectedly, Mr. Qi's family is so thoughtful, and such a good thing is sent so early , it seems to be a dowry for you."

This sandalwood turned out to be red sandalwood, I really didn't expect Qi Dalang to get such a rare thing.Judging by the color, even if it is not the highest grade of red sandalwood, it is indeed a good thing in the countryside, so Ji Xinmiao put away the small bag and wrapped it up.Although I was a little annoyed that this man treated her like a child, but at this moment, there was an indescribable joy in my heart.

At noon, I made two pheasants, and Ji Qiushou and Ji Qiuchengjia made a bowl each.Although Bom Liu didn't say anything, his eyes were full of gratitude.

Only Mrs. Fang saw that it was a small bowl, and after taking it, she was a little dissatisfied and said, "Didn't you say that you brought two big pheasants?"

Ji Xinmei felt a little uncomfortable: "Third aunt, my elder brother-in-law brought this pheasant for my parents to eat, and grandpa and grandma also ate at my house at noon today."

Fang muttered again: "Isn't it better to ask us to eat together? It also saves carrying around."

Ji Xinmei finally got upset. Before she turned around, she said bluntly, "Third Aunt, I heard that your family cooked a big bowl of meat the night before yesterday. I was afraid that you would get tired of eating it, so I only served this. Next time If my eldest brother-in-law brings pheasants again, don’t buy meat to eat, lest I misunderstand.”

One sentence finally made Fang's face turn red.

Back home, Ji Xinmei whispered indignantly: "Mother, the third aunt is really too greedy. The eldest brother-in-law feels sorry for my eldest sister to send some delicious food to make up her quilt. She is good. She has enough to eat but too little! She The family cooks delicious food, but I never thought about our sisters sharing. Next time, our family has delicious food, so I won’t give it to her, and let her make irresponsible remarks.”

Ji Xinmin also came up after hearing this: "Mother, the third aunt is so stingy. Two days ago, the third uncle went to the mountain to cut firewood and picked a basket of jujubes and came back. The younger brothers are all eating. Seeing that sister Yan and I have passed, she will give it to me." We each caught three and immediately released them."

Ji Xinmei said disdainfully: "You are a delicious food, that is not a delicious wild fruit, three is enough, be careful not to acidify your teeth."

"Hmph, no way, the sour dates picked by third uncle are very ripe and sweet. I don't know yet, but third aunt wants to keep them for making sour jujube cake. I'm afraid we will eat two more. I won't eat them." Hers, if I want to eat it, ask my elder brother to go to the mountain to pick it off for me." Ji Xinmin blushed and deliberately pretended not to care.

Mrs. Wang sighed: "Oh, you all know how stingy she is, and you just want to beg her for food, making you so skinny and shameless? If it wasn't for your third uncle's sake, because your two cousins ​​still For the sake of smallness, I don't want to send it to her. Don't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha. When you were young, the third uncle was good to you when you didn't get married. Mother accepts his love."

Seeing Ji Kunping coming in, Ji Xinmin said to Mrs. Wang, "Mother, let elder brother pick some jujubes and come back. You can also make us some jujube cakes, which are delicious."

Seeing her little daughter drooling, Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "Okay, jujube jujube hasn't been very ripe these two days. Wait for it to be more ripe in two days, and let your elder brother pick some back."

"Sister, what are you thinking?" Ji Xinmei finally found that Ji Xinmiao was in a daze.

Ji Xinmiao was woken up by Ji Xinmei. She has been immersed in the words "suan jujube cake". Is there also jujube cake in this world?Knowing this, she couldn't help but feel happy. In her previous life, her grandmother was a master at making jujube cake.Salty, sweet, spicy, everything is good.Every year during the Chinese New Year, it is packaged and taken to the town to go to the market. It is a big load that can be sold out!

Southern jujube, money tree.This is another worthless business.

"Mom, do you also make jujube cake?"

Mrs. Wang looked at Ji Xinmiao: "Does Miaoer also want to eat jujube cake? There is no such vulgar snack in Jiang's house, right? If you want to eat, then go pick some back tomorrow, and mother will make it for you .”

Ji Xinmiao asked cautiously: "Mother, doesn't anyone here make jujube cakes for sale?"

"Making sour jujube cake for sale? I've never heard of it. It's not an expensive food. How can anyone buy it?" Wang said in surprise.

Ji Xinmiao thought for a while before saying: "Mother, my daughter had eaten this kind of jujube cake in the southern city before. It was delicious. It was sweet and sour, and it was beautifully wrapped in light-colored oil paper. Few people will buy it and eat it."

Wang asked in surprise: "Really?"

Ji Xinmiao nodded affirmatively: "I have also asked what is so delicious in this cake. It is said to use sweet potatoes or pumpkins as the base, mixed with wild jujube from the mountain, and added ice cube bran. Then dried it and dressed it Served with fragrant glutinous rice flour, cut into small pieces and wrapped in oiled paper, the taste is delicious.”

Wang's eyes brightened: "That's what these things are made of, but the family uses salt instead of sugar. Miao'er, I'll tell your grandma later that she is good at making jujube cakes. In our village, the jujube cakes she made are If she is ranked second, no one will be named first! Everyone loves the jujube cake made by your grandma, but we never thought that we could wrap it up and sell it like that!"

Ji Xinmiao also said happily: "Well, mother, tell grandma quietly later. People in this village will follow as long as they have a way to make money."

"Hey, mother understands." Wang replied as she walked, her face was full of hope at this moment.Ji Xinmiao found that Wang Shi looked like a 35-year-old person, not the forty-something woman she thought at first glance.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Wang talked about Ji Xinmiao's plan just now, and Grandma Ji nodded repeatedly: "This thing is easy to make. In previous years, we would make some year-end fruits ourselves. Our Miao'er is just different. People with knowledge are like us. The people in this village are too strong. Head of the family, you go to the mountain with Kunping to pick two loads of sour dates in the afternoon, and I will pick two pumpkins. Qiulin’s family, there are still sweet potatoes in your cellar, go get some Come out. Let's make more flavor."

Ji Qiulin thought he had nothing to do in the afternoon anyway, so he said, "I'll go too. If you pick more, you can make snacks for the children even if it's not easy to sell."

Grandma Ji thought for a while before saying: "You still don't need to rush, people in the village will be surprised if so many people go to the village. There are few ways to get money in the countryside. If people know that we want to make these things and sell them, someone will definitely follow suit. We'll wait until the first batch is sent to Lan Yatou for a trial sale. Anyway, the sour dates won't drop until August, so there's no rush at this time."

When Ji Xinmiao heard it, she repeatedly gave her thumbs up to Grandma Ji: "Grandma still has vision, and rare things are more valuable. Grandma is so right."

Grandma Ji listened very comfortably and said cheerfully: "My granddaughter praised grandma, so grandma must have a good eye. Hahaha, let's eat quickly, after dinner, I have to buy some rock candies and come back. It is easy to use if it is crushed. In addition, coarse salt has to be fried and ground into powder to make the best jujube cake.”

Mrs. Wang suddenly realized: "Mother, it's no wonder that the jujube cake you made is so delicious. It turns out that the things you use are so delicate."

Grandma Ji said proudly: "That's right, if there is no secret recipe for cooking, how can it be delicious? I have cooked it for you all these years, and you have to learn it in the future. When grandma is old and can't cook anymore, just eat You have to cook it for me."

The three sisters of the Ji family nodded quickly: "Grandma is teaching us the ancestral craft, and we will definitely learn it hard."

The two loads of sour jujubes were picked and started working overnight. The first big project was to peel the jujubes. Grandma Ji fished out the hot jujube skins from the pot one by one.

Ji Xinmin smelled the fragrance of jujube, and just peeled off the first one, and stuffed it into his mouth impatiently: "Ouch..."

Wang stood up in fright: "Min'er, what happened?"
