Chapter 20 Making Dried Lemons

"Father, go out and weave bamboo boards with grandpa and a few uncles, and make a few more baskets by the way, so we can hold the washed lemons." Mo Shunuan put salt in the basin, and pointed at the person who was pulling water from the well. Mo Qianyan said.

Mo Qianyan poured the last bucket of water into the basin, nodded with a smile and said, "Understood, you watch from the sidelines, and leave the washing of lemons and carrying water to your brothers."

Mo Shunuan didn't know how much Mo Qianyan disliked her brothers, but she nodded obediently. Ever since the five brothers knew that she thought of a way to make money today, their eyes lit up when they saw her.

The wooden basin was not big, and there were not many lemons in it. Mo Shunuan was counting the time in her heart, and estimated that it was about the same. She was about to fish out the lemons from the salt water, but before she could make a move, her brothers took the lead.

"Ah Nuan, let's do this kind of thing." Mo Yiying pointed to the small bench beside her, and asked Mo Shunuan to sit beside her and watch.

Originally, Mo Yarou and Mo Xinling were going to help, but Mo Yiying treated them equally and asked them to watch from the sidelines.

Mo Yarou had no choice but to look at the hardworking three older brothers and two younger brothers, and let them go. She brought Mo Xinling back to the room to do show work.

"Brother, take the lemon out of the salt water, wash it in clean water, and pour it into this clean basket." Although Mo Shunuan was leisurely directing a few people, she was not idle, and brought some lemons from the main room. Lingquan's kettle, poured a bowl of water for each of the five people and put it aside to cool.

It was the first time to make dried lemons, and Mo Shunuan didn't dare to ask Brother Mo Yiying to wash too many lemons. When they saw that the amount was about the same, they stopped.

Feng Sining took the cleaned and freshly sharpened kitchen knife to the backyard, and brought a clean small wooden basin and cutting board along the way.

She put the cutting board in the middle of the wooden basin, then put the wooden basin on the bench, picked up the lemon, and quickly cut the lemon slices according to the thickness that Mo Shunuan said.

Mo Shunuan stared straight at Feng Sining's speed of chopping vegetables. That speed could not be described as proficient. Here we go.

Lemon slices were cut in the back yard, and the bamboo boards in the front yard were also finished. They were washed with salt water and left to dry in the sun for a few minutes.

After Feng Sining cut a basin of lemon slices and the bamboo boards were ready to dry, Feng Sining brought out the lemon slices, Rong Shi, Liu Shi, and Li Shi took the shelf made by Mr. Mo and began to dry the lemon slices.

This place is cool and ventilated, and there is a wild gardenia that can be used as incense. It is the best place to dry lemons.

Spreading lemon slices is a meticulous job. To spread them out one by one not only tests endurance, but also tests arm strength.

Fortunately, Mo Shunuan added Lingquan water today, otherwise she would feel sore hands after not working for a long time.

In the backyard, Mo Yiying and the others took out the buds of the roses and washed them again, then drained the water and put them on the bamboo board, but the flowers were exposed to the sun.

Only in this way can the flowers be dried quickly, otherwise they will get wet easily.

After working all afternoon, the sun gradually went down. The four brothers Mo Qianyan went to the sun-drying ground to take back the millet. The ladies of the Rong family were preparing to make dinner. Mr. Mo went out for a walk. The five of Mo Yiying were squatting on their horses. Step by step, even Mo Yarou and Mo Xinling have things to do, but Mo Shunuan is the most leisurely person.

Jiu'er didn't come today, presumably Aunt Liu knew that she was injured and knew that Jiu'er would come to visit her and would definitely send some eggs or something, so she didn't let Jiu'er come.
