Chapter 51 Prodigal?

Mrs. Lin also guessed a little bit in her heart, afraid that this was Xiaoxiao's idea again, so she hugged Xiaoxiao and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, you are really a good daughter of my mother!"

The mother and daughter were cultivating their relationship, and Mo Yunfeng next to him said "Yeah", which scared the mother and daughter, Lin Shi and Mo Xiaoxiao couldn't help but glared at him in anger.

Mo Yunfeng also felt embarrassed immediately, and then said: "Xiaoxiao, actually, I think this can also be sold as herbal tea."

"Sell it as herbal tea?" The mother and daughter said in unison, and then looked at each other again.

As soon as Xiaoxiao heard this, she was in deep thought, and even Mrs. Lin was wondering whether this would bring profit. After a while, a smile appeared on Xiaoxiao's face again, "Mother, yes, why didn't I expect that this mint Not everyone can get water, we can also try it, besides, the weather is hot now, and some things make me angry when I eat them."

Mrs. Lin has always supported Xiaoxiao's idea now, and now that she heard that it can be sold for money, it's not bad, she thought about it for a while and then nodded with a smile, "Our Xiaoxiao is a lucky star, there are always things I can't think about." It’s a way to make money, but don’t we always go to the mountains to pick this mint?”

As soon as Lin's words came out, it reminded the two people who were immersed in joy, yes, there is no mint at home, so do you have to go to the mountain to pick it?Leaving aside the danger, going up the mountain every day is tiring.

The three people in the room were contemplating, and suddenly Mo Shengming in the kitchen was calling Xiaoxiao, saying that the peaches had been washed and peeled, and they were waiting to start.

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao and the other three were also unambiguous, and went straight to the kitchen. Looking at the peeled peaches, she just took a few relatively large ones from the middle, and then cut them into large pieces. Remove the core, then heat up the pot, put the ice soup that I bought back, and the ice soup will be boiled in a short while, Xiaoxiao poured the boiled ice soup water on the peaches that were cut into pieces , because I have had similar experience before, so the pouring is very even.

Next, we need to boil sugar water in the pot again. At this time, the fire does not need to be too high, just medium fire. In the middle, Xiaoxiao added some sugar and salt into it. When Xiaoxiao used to do this, he put lemon juice in it. It is quite sour, and it tastes sweet and sour after cooking, very appetizing. There is no such thing here, so Xiaoxiao just put sugar and a little salt.

After simmering for a while, the sugar in the pot gradually turned yellow. At this time, Xiaoxiao put the peaches that had been drenched in sugar water into the pot, and then controlled the fire to a low heat, heated it for about ten minutes, and then Take it out of the pan again, and the fresh peach candied fruit is ready.

Xiaoxiao put the prepared candied fruit in a sea bowl (a relatively large bowl), and then put it in a basin filled with cold water to cool down. After the temperature of the candied fruit cooled down completely, Xiaoxiao brought the candied fruit to the main room , Call the family and taste it.

"Well, it's delicious, and it seems to be even better than the ones sold in the town." Mo Yunfeng said.

"Well, what Yunfeng said is correct. It tastes really good, the color is good, and the sugar water is poured evenly." Lin and Mo Shengming said like gourmets.

Mo Yuntian and Mo Yaoyao didn't know what to say anymore. After all, what they wanted to say had already been said, so they could only keep talking about delicious food. Mo Xuanxuan didn't say anything, but just showed it with practical actions. The food is very delicious.

At this moment, Mrs. Lin and Mo Shengming looked at each other meaningfully, and then looked at Xiao Xiao nervously, "Xiao Xiao, there are so many here, why don't we bring some to your grandma?" .”

Xiaoxiao looked at her father and mother's nervous appearance, and something seemed to be touched in her heart. Also, in the past, grandma didn't want to see her because Mrs. Li was blowing her ears. Now grandma already knows that she has wronged them, and she is using her own actions Come to repent, why can't you forgive me, then smiled and said: "Father, mother, if our family cooks something delicious in the future, you can also send some to grandma, so that they can try something new."

Mo Shengming smiled in relief, and said loudly, "Okay, I'll take some here."

Xiaoxiao evened out half of it from the sea bowl again, and asked Mo Shengming to take it over, and happened to bring a few unpeeled tender peaches over, Mo Shengming was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

Seeing that this matter was almost completed, Xiaoxiao thought of another thing in her heart, that is mint. The best time to plant mint is in April, although it is only one month away from April, but If it is forced to plant, I am afraid that the effect will not be very good.If you must plant it this year, then you have to wait until the end of October, and Xiaoxiao is still brewing here.

Mo Yunfeng over there just thought of this method, so he said excitedly: "Mother, we can transplant the mint from the mountain to our field."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lin slapped her thigh, "Yeah, why didn't I expect that, Xiaoxiao's pepper seedlings can bear fruit now, there's no reason we can't grow mint, Xiaoxiao, what do you think? "

Although Xiaoxiao thinks this is also a reason, but when the pepper was transplanted at the beginning, it happened to be in the pepper transplanting period, so it was able to survive, and this time is not the planting period of mint, if it is forced to plant, I am afraid that it will only wither. Said: "Mother, the best time to plant mint is early April or late October. It's not suitable now, but we can wait."

Lin also felt that it made sense, so she couldn't insist on transplanting the mint into the ground anymore, but now she seemed worried.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Seeing that Lin's expression seemed wrong, Xiaoxiao questioned.

"It's okay, I'm just a little worried that the mint is not my own now, and I'm afraid that someone else will pick it in advance."

"Pfft..." Xiaoxiao laughed all of a sudden, "Mother, you are too worrying. In the past, who would pick that thing in the village? They didn't let it grow that year."

For a moment, Lin only thought that the ones by the river would be picked up, but she didn't think that in the past, people in the village would not even look at those things, let alone pick them up to make tea.

"Ah, look at me, it's a bit unfounded to worry about, but it can still be taken just in case."

"Mother, don't worry about that, we'll just pick it up and play with it, and let us children pick it up, without you and dad showing up, so people will think we're just picking it up for fun." Xiaoxiao said.

"Well, that's fine too, it's just that you're tired." Lin looked at the children lovingly, especially Xiaoxiao who came up with the idea.

"Not tired." Several people said in unison.

In fact, Xiaoxiao is still thinking that mint leaves have many uses, and mint leaves themselves can be used as medicine, but the method of processing is a bit troublesome, so let’s forget it now, no matter what, when I have time, I will process some mint leaves and take them to the pharmacy Go and see if they take away the mint.

Xiaoxiao really didn't dare to say this idea, otherwise, with Lin's temper, she would have urged everyone to pick mint leaves.Xiaoxiao feels that one bite cannot make a fat man, and now she has to take it step by step. After all, she is still in the stage of starting a business, and she has to work steadily to get the most benefits.
