So Li Yuqing decided to process a part of the tomatoes to make chili sauce, and then sell the remaining part to Fumanlou, so as to repay the favor of the shopkeeper Yao who helped her invite her husband before, and get a lot of income in advance.

Now the time has come, the toon is old and can no longer be sent to Fumanlou, and the potato processing plant has also run out of potatoes left for processing starch. So Li Daniu, who had nothing to do, stayed with everyone all the time, helping to make chili peppers and boiling tomato sauce.

It doesn't take a few people to dry the peppers, as long as someone turns them over in the morning and evening, and after they are dried, they can be put aside for a long time.

Boil the ketchup, and it's troublesome. First, boil the tomatoes in hot water and blanch the skin. Then start officially, brush the cauldron carefully, pour water into it, and then put the peeled tomatoes in the cauldron and stir back and forth until the tomatoes are crushed, and the soup becomes thick, take the crockpot that has been brushed and dried in advance, pour the hot soup into it, immediately seal it with oiled paper, and coat it with a layer of thin mud.

The purpose of this is to take advantage of the heat of the ketchup, the air inside the crockpot is pushed out by the heat, and a vacuum is formed inside, and the heat inside is kept on the top to prevent the outside air from entering the inside, and then the bottle mouth is immediately sealed with oiled paper. In this way, it is stored in a dark cellar, so that there is no fear that it will deteriorate due to air corrosion.

At the beginning, only a few tomatoes were ripe, Li Yuqing hurriedly let them start work, so dozens of acres of ripe tomatoes were barely enough to make tomato paste, but within a few days, the tomatoes that had grown into them ripened faster and faster, more and more, because of the boiling tomato paste, the process was complicated, the tomatoes ripened quickly, and there were not so many tomatoes to use up, she decided not to wait, it was better to hit the day than to hit the day, this morning she went to the town with Li Daniu to find the shopkeeper Yao, speaking of which, she had not seen the shopkeeper Yao for a long time, not only her, but also after Li Daniu sent the toon, she had not seen the shopkeeper Yao for a long time。

Let the villagers first help her prepare two baskets of tomatoes and two baskets of chili peppers, and then called Li Daniu, who has been doing chores around, and asked him to drive the ox cart and put the basket on the cart, and then Li Yuqing got on the ox cart and asked him to rush to the town.

It's mid-July, the hottest time of the year, and although the sun isn't very hot in the morning, there are no people on the road. Along the way, Li Daniu desperately shook the bullwhip, hoping to rush to the Fumanlou in the town as soon as possible before the hot weather.

Because there are no rare goods to sell in Fumanlou recently, the number of diners has decreased a little compared with before, looking at a few diners, some boring shopkeepers Yao stood in front of the counter, fiddling with the abacus for a while, and unconsciously thought of Li Yuqing.

He still remembered Li Yuqing telling him that she had planted two new varieties and would send them to him to see when they were ready. Now that it's August, Li Yuqing hasn't said anything.

Shopkeeper Yao was very curious about what rare things Li Yuqing had planted, but he didn't see Li Yuqing coming, so he secretly decided that there was no one anyway, and whether he was there or not was not a big problem. If she doesn't come in the past two days, then he will take the time to go to Lijia Village to see what Li Yuqing is doing at home to make him wait so long.

Shopkeeper Yao, who was still thinking wildly, faintly heard the shouts of the guys, and the name seemed to be called Miss Li, Shopkeeper Yao frowned, he thought that he had behaved too obviously in recent times, and the guys deliberately teased him, and said without raising his head, "What should I do, although there is no one now, you can't do without the joke of the shopkeeper, and then deduct your salary so carefully"

Looking at Li Yuqing and Li Daniu, who had just walked in from outside, the guys looked at each other, not knowing whether to remind the shopkeeper Yao again.

Here, when the shopkeeper Yao saw that he had finished speaking, no one spoke, and he didn't raise his head and continued, "Look, I really want to make fun of me, just say you, you little rabbit cubs won't dare to squeak."

After entering the door, Li Yuqing and Li Daniu heard this, and the two glanced at each other, and they both saw a smile in each other's eyes.

Li Yuqing looked at the shopkeeper Yao who was crawling on the counter, shook his head funny, and said helplessly, "Uncle Yao, we brought some things all the way over, but no one greeted us, and we haven't come for a while, this attitude is too cold." ”

The shopkeeper Yao, who originally thought the guys were joking, immediately raised his head when he heard Li Yuqing's voice, and when he saw that it was Li Yuqing standing in front of him, he immediately looked at her with a fixed look with his eyes, and said excitedly, "Yuqing, what did you just say?"

"Why Uncle Yao, just now I looked like I was ignoring it, but now I heard that I brought something over, and immediately came to the spirit, this is too obvious! Li Yuqing deliberately said with a resentful face.

Shopkeeper Yao looked at Li Yuqing, who was making fun of himself, walked around from behind the counter, stretched out his index finger and pointed at Li Yuqing's head, and said with a smile, "You ghost girl, what kind of witty words, didn't you say to bring me good things? I have waited for so long, and you don't come, just now I was still thinking, if you don't come, I'll go over in the next two days to see what you're doing, and forget all the things you promised me."

Looking at the shopkeeper Yao who was pretending to be angry, Li Yuqing playfully pulled the arm of the shopkeeper Yao, and said coquettishly, "Look at what Uncle Yao said, haven't you noticed that I am black and thin now, hey, it's not easy to farm, I just finished it, so I immediately brought something over to show you the old man." ”

"Why didn't I see that you are dark and thin, but you are a female college student who has changed eighteen times, and the more you change, the better you look. But then again, what did you bring here, show me, you don't know, since the toon was not delivered, some time ago there was a cucumber you introduced last year, but the cucumber didn't last long, this is not you look at me now Fumanlou, really, there is nothing to take out, rare. Shopkeeper Yao complained bitterly while desperately looking behind Li Yuqing.

Looking at Shopkeeper Yao, who was anxious and staring at the things in the basket behind him, Li Yuqing didn't bother to sell anything to him, turned around directly, lifted the cloth covering the top of a back basket, pointed to the things inside and said to Shopkeeper Yao, "Uncle Yao, look at the things in here, do you know?"

Hearing Li Yuqing say this, Shopkeeper Yao hurriedly moved his somewhat rounded body, walked around to Li Yuqing, looked at the things in the basket seriously, and frowned slightly.

I saw that in the back basket, there were neatly stacked fruits the size of an adult's fist, with bright colors and thin skins, and you could clearly see the thick pulp inside, even if he was knowledgeable, he didn't know, and turned his head to look at Li Yuqing with a puzzled face waiting for her introduction.

Seeing him like this, Li Yuqing understood, it turned out that Shopkeeper Yao didn't know this thing, and at the same time, fortunately, Shopkeeper Yao didn't know this thing, if Shopkeeper Yao knew, then this thing would be worthless.

Thinking of this, Li Yuqing immediately showed a smile on her face, pointed to the tomatoes in the back basket, and said to the shopkeeper Yao with a smile, "Uncle Yao, this thing is called tomatoes, and it is very nutritious to eat this thing in summer."

"Tomato" Shopkeeper Yao frowned, "It sounds like something from Fanbang, where did you get this thing" Listening to Li Yuqing's words, he asked curiously.

"I don't know if this thing is from Fanbang, I just get it occasionally, I planted it casually, and after planting it, I found that there was a fruit, it looked very delicious, so I tried it, I thought it was okay, and then I asked Liu Changyu to help me find some over, this is not what you see is used, those seeds are planted" Li Yuqing pretended not to know anything, and said innocently.
