Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

  Chapter 378 Honey Citron Tea

   Now that money is needed, and this thing is easy to make, Ye Muyu made it easily.

  Ye Muyu first boiled the hot water in the pot.

  When the water temperature rises to more than 60 degrees, it will be a little hot, and it will be almost done.

  Pour the hot water into the water basin, put the grapefruit in it, and soak for about half an hour.

  There is no one else at home, Ye Muyu originally wanted to ask Lu Chuan to help peel the skin, but seeing that his movements were awkward, he couldn't do the kitchen work.

   There was a rare silence.

  Lu Chuan's cheeks were a little red, and he explained: "Madam, the younger one is a rough person. This work is too delicate. It is capable of chopping bones, but cutting them thin will not work."

   Seeing his blushing, Ye Muyu still felt strange, and didn't make things difficult for him, "Then go and help Aunt Hu get the grapefruit back."

   "Okay." Lu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Muyu was considerate, and he felt more at ease, fearing that his poor performance would cause dissatisfaction with the host.

   Turned around and left the courtyard gate.

  Ye Muyu waited until the pomelo was soaked, squeezed out the water, and then slowly peeled off the peel.

   The less white pulp the better, it will have less bitter taste and the grapefruit tea will taste better.

   Almost cut the grapefruit peel in half.

  Mr. Hu came back first, with seven or eight grapefruits in the back basket.

"Madam, there are thirteen grapefruits at Lu Chuan's side. They cost a total of 100 Wen, 5 Wen each, but the ones in the village don't look so yellow. The slaves bought back all the grapefruits that met Madam's requirements." Hu Shi entered After leaving the kitchen, he hurriedly washed his hands while trying to explain to Ye Muyu.

  Ye Muyu didn't think it was strange either. The grapefruit matures from July to September, and there are no special fruit trees in the village. It would be nice to apply some fertilizer at ordinary times, but naturally it doesn't grow well.

   But the price is cheap, and it is also good for making second-class honey citron tea.

"Thank you, I'll teach you how to peel the skin." Ye Muyu was already satisfied, because Xingshui Village is close to the county and located in the south of the Yangtze River, so you can buy good fruits. If you are a little further away from the mountains, you can only eat wild ones. Usually there is no time for farming and work, so there are no villagers who take care of fruit trees deliberately.

   According to Ye Muyu's knowledge, most landlords and wealthy households have their own Zhuangzi, and the fruits that rich and noble families usually eat are transported back by the Zhuangzi or the team of merchants.

expensive.

   "Okay, ma'am." Hu Shi is skillful and used to cooking meals. With Ye Muyu's teaching, she quickly understood that this is peeling, which is not difficult for her.

  Ye Muyu saw that she was quick to learn, so she didn't say much.

  It was Hu who thought for a while and said, "Madam, is this for fresh food?"

   "Well, I want to make tea. Children and girls should like it." Ye Muyu's confidence comes from the fact that the people in Nanchang County and even other nearby counties like sweet tea, even the tea they usually drink is mostly sweet.

  Honey citron tea tastes sweet and sour, so you won't be disgusted no matter what.

  This is why she makes more desserts.

   "Madam is skillful. By the way, Madam, just now when the slaves went to buy grapefruits, I heard from the villagers that a monk from the county next door has gone down the mountain."

  “I heard that many eight or nine-year-old children went down the mountain this time. Most of them were orphans. Many of them could not find their families. The monks in the temple would take them down the mountain and ask the villagers if they would like to adopt them.”

   "It seems that the court will send a certain maintenance fee, about one tael of silver, but after adoption, you must go to the county government to register for household registration, but most of these children will choose to adopt if they have a little relative relationship."
