The sugar in these honey water is absorbed by the strawberries, but there is still a lot of sugar left.

However, if you drink this thing directly, you may still feel good after one and a half sips, but after a few more sips, you will feel that the taste is too thin - the sugar content is too high, and the strawberry taste is too weak. In addition, the sugar content in this thing is so high, not only can it not quench your thirst, but it may become more and more thirsty the more you drink, so it is obviously not suitable for use as a drink.

If you want to reuse it, you either have to concentrate it a little more, or you have to add sugar or honey to it. After all, the reason why I made preserved fruits was because there were too many overripe strawberries, and I had to do it as a last resort, and Xu Yi didn't plan to do this kind of time-consuming and laborious thing in the short term.

He thought about seeing if he could condense the sugar water, or even turn it into sugar cubes, such two large buckets should be able to make a lot of sugar cubes. Referring to the previous results, it is definitely possible to concentrate this thing in an oven at low temperature. However, these two half-barrels are not a little bit, and I don't know how long it will take to process them in the oven.

Xu Yi still has so much spare time, if that is the case, he really doesn't have to sleep, so he is simply going to use an induction cooker with higher evaporation efficiency to try it.

He washed the wok, poured some honey water into it, and boiled it. After more than half an hour, Xu Yi turned off the induction cooker with a wry smile and announced that the attempt was a complete failure. The honey water in the pot has completely lost its original bright red and beautiful, but it looks black, and it is sticky everywhere like paste.

It was fine at first, as the water evaporates. The sugar content in the sugar solution is getting higher and higher. It's also getting sticky. Even if Xu Yi found the abnormality, he quickly adjusted the power of the induction cooker to the minimum. The intensity of stirring was also increased, but the results were not reversed.

The sugar that sticks to the bottom of the pot reduces the heat transfer speed and quickly turns into caramel, but in just four or five minutes, half a pot of sugar water has completely turned into a pot of caramel liquid like black ink.

Xu Yi sighed, poured out the caramel in the pot, and washed it vigorously with a steel wool ball. He couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at the mess inside the pot, it seemed that even the electric stove with less power could not change the result. Let's add honey to it to solve this problem.

After thinking for a while, Xu Yi poured most of the honey water in one bucket into another bucket, leaving only a little and adding some honey to the remaining honey water, adjusting it to a higher sweetness, and then placing the bucket on the induction cooker and heating it on low heat.

After the honey water boiled again, he directly took a box of strawberries back, cleaned up the leaves behind the strawberries and added them directly to the boiling honey water, and added half a box of strawberries to it before stopping.

Waiting for the bucket to boil again, and after boiling for about ten minutes, Xu Yi turned off the induction cooker and brought the bucket down. Cover it and put it there.

This is better to wait until it has cooled thoroughly and refrigerate it in the freezer.

There are strawberries made in sugar water and eaten as dessert. Presumably, this one made of honey should be more popular, at least the two sweet-toothed parties of Fat Man and Liu Liping should be more interested in this thing.

The rest of the honey water, Xu Yi covered the lid and put it away, anyway, this thing will not break if it is placed in the space, just take it as you like in the future.

After cleaning all the tools again, Xu Yi stopped and considered the problem of the strawberries in the space.

The yield of these two strawberries is not too high, and there is no guarantee that they will need to sell ice powder - after all, the area of strawberries is still small, and the number of strawberries that can be produced on each strawberry is limited, and they have to be transplanted to continue to expand the planting area.

Of course, it will definitely be okay to let them grow like this again, and at least one more transplant should fill the field, so that the speed of these strawberries will have to be controlled. So tomorrow, when I go to the market to collect the band saw, I still buy some thick mulch or plastic sheeting, cut them and spread them on the ground, so that those stolons can not take root at will, so that as long as it is combined with regular thinning of seedlings and cleaning of stolons, the reasonable density of strawberries can also be well controlled, so that the yield should also be well controlled.

Xu Yi also thought about it, even if he planted it again, he would still transplant those red faces. After all, this variety of strawberries has a higher sour taste, and the milk flavor is enough, so it must taste better than Zhang Ji's strawberries when placed in ice powder. Another point that cannot be ignored is that Hongyan is more stiff and more resistant to storage and transportation than Zhang Ji strawberries.

Of course, there is no need to pull out those Zhang Ji strawberries by yourself, it's good to leave a small piece to eat by yourself or keep it for entertaining guests or something, anyway, you can't eat much, and now such a small piece is almost the same.

After Xu Yi thought about it, he stretched his waist. Looking at the time, I found that the strawberries alone had been tossed for more than ten hours, so I simply washed up and went to sleep.

After getting up again, Xu Yi walked around the space as usual. He took the pruning shears and walked towards the small grove where he had cut the wood, ready to clean all the buds that had been sent out.

However, when he walked nearby, Xu Yi found that the situation was a little different from what he had expected, although the stakes that had been cut down had not been absorbed, they were all bare and without any branches coming out.

Xu Yi is also a little strange, it's been two months, how can there be no branches?

Of course, if there are no branches, it will undoubtedly save him a lot of trouble, Xu Yi looked up and saw that the fruits on those coffee trees and other things were all red, presumably the coffee beans that fell from the trees should have accumulated a lot, so he was ready to harvest again.

Xu Yi walked to the edge of the bamboo plaque where the coffee beans were dried before and grabbed a handful, the coffee beans in his hand were already dry, and they collided in his palm and made a rustling sound. After finding a few bags to separate these coffee beans according to different varieties, Xu Yi walked towards the coffee trees with the basket. Although there is no way to shell this thing for the time being, plus the work of frying is simply nine out of ten tricks - none of them, but as long as there is something, the technique can be learned slowly.

Just walk in front of the coffee tree. Xu Yi inadvertently raised his head...... I walked over to a few cocoa trees, and a smile bloomed on my face - it was not a short time since the last pollination, and the previous cocoa was fully ripe!

There were spindle-shaped pods hanging from several trees, either orange or brownish-red, and even a few of them were completely ripe and fell directly to the ground.

Xu Yi picked up a fruit pod from the ground, the heavy pod was almost more than 20 centimeters long, and the thickness was about 10 centimeters, it looked like a ripe large bitter gourd.

Xu Yi put the basket on the ground. I went straight to get a bag, picked all the pods, and happily carried them to the edge of the stove.

Putting a fruit pod on the stove, Xu Yi used a firewood knife to split the thick fruit pod and then break it in half, revealing one by one neatly arranged, like white seeds wrapped in a white sponge, like garlic cloves.

Xu Yi peeled out all the seeds and counted them, a total of forty-five, and couldn't help but nod.

This is already a very good result - the number of cocoa seeds is usually between thirty and fifty, and there are forty-five if you cut one at random. That's pretty good!

After peeling all the fruits, Xu Yi found that the minimum number of seeds was also forty. The most common is forty-three or four, and it seems that the results of this artificial pollination are quite satisfactory.

Xu Yi removed the white flocculent layer on the outside of the seeds, packed them in a plastic bag, and carried them to the electronic scale for weighing. It looks like almost seven catties, and if it is processed normally, it should be able to dry out more than two catties of cocoa beans.

However, Xu Yi didn't know what kind of strains were used for cocoa fermentation, so the harvested ones can only be dried in this way and used as seeds. At least he was very happy with the result - after all, it meant that he could grow it. When you find a reliable way to do it, you can try to process it yourself.

After pollinating the cocoa trees as usual, Xu Yi began to get busy and collected all the fake sour pulp and other things he had planted before.

After he was busy, Xu Yi remembered the cucumber he planted before, he hadn't harvested it for so long, didn't he have to become an old cucumber?

Although fresh cucumbers taste good, it is also good if they do turn into old cucumbers, so you can use them to braised or make old cucumber soup, which must be very good.

Thinking like this, Xu Yi raised his feet and walked there, but when he walked to the side of the cucumber rack, Xu Yi was stunned - the cucumber seedlings were still growing lush, and they had almost climbed the three-meter-high cucumber rack.

Xu Yi stretched out his hand and flicked the dense leaves, looked inside the cucumber shelf, and immediately became dumbfounded.

The cucumbers that I thought should have ripened for a long time ago did not change at all, and they still looked very smooth, white and tender, except for a slight emerald green color in the roots connected to the guati, and there was no sign of yellowing at all.

Not only that, Xu Yi even found that from top to bottom in this cucumber rack, dozens of cucumbers more than a foot long hung down, almost filling the gap in the middle of the cucumber rack!

Xu Yi didn't have time to think about it, and carefully picked these cucumbers from the cucumber vine with a basket, but it took two or three minutes to fill the basket.

It took four or five trips in a row for Xu Yi to pick these cucumbers. After falling the basket of cucumbers, Xu Yi looked at the cucumbers piled up like a hill on the ground, and couldn't help crying and laughing, how can he eat so many cucumbers by himself?

Xu Yi picked up a cucumber and gently rubbed it with his hand, rubbed off the fine thorns on the cucumber skin, opened his mouth and took a bite. This cucumber is still fresh and tender, full of flavor, and it is still at the most suitable stage to eat.

Xu Yi folded his hands hard and broke the cucumber into two sections.

The melon pulp is still very tight, and the seeds inside are still flattened, wrapped in the melon pulp in the translucent envelope, and there is no grout at all.

Xu Yi walked out of the tent playing with the cucumber in his hand, thinking thoughtfully.

Now think about it seems that when picking cucumbers in the morning, this is a little wrong, after all, cucumbers are vegetables that grow relatively quickly, and it is enough to harvest only ten days from flowering to suitable for harvesting, if you do not pick them within the deadline, wait until the cucumber seeds inside are filled, and the cucumbers will become old, not only the skin will become thicker, but also become more and more sour.

But after so long, the cucumber showed no signs of aging, but more and more cucumbers came out later, what is this for......?

PS: Well, I'm not very satisfied, I changed it again, well, it's a little late, tomorrow won't be very busy, but I didn't write it at all, okay, continue to procrastinate......

Try to change the update time back on Saturday.
