Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 268 Frosted Red Fruit (monthly ticket 1200 plus updates)

 The courtyard walls are covered with golden sticks, and the courtyard is covered with orange-yellow dried sweet potatoes.

There is a strong fire burning in the oven, and a faint aroma is wafting out, coupled with the green cabbage and radish leaves growing in the vegetable field in the courtyard...

 Using beautiful scenery to describe it is not as good as exaggerating.

Su Mulan felt very comfortable every time she saw such a scene, and she felt very interested in cooking all kinds of food.

After breaking the cobs, it’s time to harvest cotton, sorghum, peanuts, etc. Some cotton was planted early. At this time, the cotton stalks have already begun to be harvested. The land was plowed early to prepare for planting winter wheat.

 At this time, it can be said that every farm household is extremely busy.

Su Mulan's family doesn't have much land. After breaking off the sticks, all that's left is the land that was cleared and planted with sweet potatoes. It's not yet time to harvest sweet potatoes, so her family doesn't have much farm work.

 In addition to cooking and eating at home, there is also time to take a break.

Taking advantage of the free time, Su Mulan was busy making new food.

In autumn, red fruits grow just right, and they don’t have to be artificially grown. Wild ones are all over the ground. They grow in clusters on fields, beside villages, and on hillsides, and the trees are full of red fruits. From a distance, Very pretty.

Even though the red fruit is ripe, it is not very popular because of its overly sour taste. Occasionally, a person who likes it will pick two, or a playful and greedy child will pick some, and most of the rest will be left. They all hung on the branches and were pecked by birds.

The birds pecked out the flesh of the fruit, leaving only the core. The core dried in the sun and fell with the wind. It took root and sprouted on the spot, and then grew into a new red fruit tree.

The red fruits around us cannot be said to be inexhaustible, or they can be said to be all over the ground.

Su Mulan led the carrot heads to pick a lot of red fruits and came back.

 Wash it clean, dry it, and put it in a pan with sugar. Let the red fruit be evenly coated with a layer of white sugar. The red fruit with sugar is now ready.

White sugar and red fruit look white with red inside, and red with white inside. The color is very fresh, and the sugar can neutralize the sourness of the red fruit. It tastes sour and sweet, appetizing and delicious.

And the red fruits are made into icing, one by one, which is easy to handle and put away. If you buy some, you can share them with others. It is not like the candied haws, where each person has to buy a bunch, and it is a bit unsightly to eat them separately.

Red fruit cake is made by soaking red fruits in salt water and mashing them into a puree, then adding sugar and frying slowly over low heat until thickened. Transfer it to a deeper plate to cool and shape, and then cut it into pieces. It is sour and sweet. Delicious and appetizing pastries.

In late autumn, although it is not yet time for frost, it is already quite chilly. Although the weather is cold, people are prone to getting angry because of the high winds and dry weather in autumn. For this red fruit cake with a slightly cool taste, Very fond of it.

 Coupled with the fact that seasonal products are particularly delicious, demand for the frosted red fruits and red fruit cakes was temporarily in short supply after they were put on the shelves.

 In this case, the demand for red fruits can be said to be quite large.

The four radish heads usually have to help dry sweet potatoes and help make food at home, and they can't free their hands anymore to pick red fruits.

Su Mulan thought for a while and simply announced that he would harvest red fruits, but only for people in the village.

 One penny is three catties, and the daily limit is fifty catties.
