Yang Yun reached out and picked a melon, sniffed it before holding it to her nose, and sure enough, it was the same as she guessed, this was really a melon. Yang Yun circled around the melon field and picked more than ten melons, some of which were not very ripe, Yang Yun decided to pick apricots to pickle first, and the melons would come back later.

"Yun girl, can this white and fat fruit be pickled?"

"Of course you can, this fruit is very fragrant, it looks like a little pumpkin, I have seen it in the travelogue given by Grandpa Xu, this fruit should be called a melon."

"It's also written in the book."

"Of course, there's everything in the book. This melon is not very ripe yet, let's go pick the apricots first, and the melon will be picked later. ”

"Okay, listen to you, sure enough, those of you who can read and write just know more."

"Hehe, I'm a blind cat who meets a dead mouse, I usually like to read the travelogue books given by Grandpa Xu, the travelogue books are all about the customs of different regions, and some of the things recorded on it are something we have never seen or heard of."

"Hehe, you children have good brains, reading is useful, let's go pick apricots first, it's going to be evening." Uncle Li is a hunter, and he knows very well that it is not safe on the mountain when it gets dark. So he asked Yang Yun to hurry up and pick apricots so that he could go home.

"yes, okay." Yang Yun and Uncle Li went to the apricot tree and went back directly picking a basket of apricots. On Yang Yong's side, after picking three baskets of plums, several people went home together. Yang Yun hurried to stir-fry after returning home, and her grandmother had already cooked the rice first. Grandma's health is not yet well, how dare Yang Yun let grandma do these things, she knew that she would come back to cook earlier.

After the family finished eating, it was already dark, Yang Yun and they had to light an oil lamp in the house to pick apricots, and the apricots must be pickled first to taste good. Plums, on the other hand, should not be marinated for too long, otherwise they will not be crispy. The plums will be picked up early tomorrow morning, pickled, and taken directly to the town to sell.

Uncle Li and the others finished dinner at home, and they also came to Yang's house to pick apricots together, and a basket of apricots was picked by the two families together, and they were quickly selected. At least one-third of the basket of apricots picked by Yang Yun was unusable, either broken or with traces of insect bites. After the apricots are selected, they are cleaned and dried in water, and then licorice and sugar are added to pickle, and Yang Yun also pours some salty sour plum sauce down, which will give the fruit a unique aroma.

Pickling these freshly eaten fruits, you can also use reed ginger powder, reed ginger slightly spicy taste, can stimulate the fragrance of the fruit, Yang Yun told Yang Yong to go to the town tomorrow before coming back, must go to the market to help himself, buy a few catties of reed ginger back, Yang Yun decided to use reed ginger, pickled plums with different flavors, reed ginger is called southern ginger in modern times.

After Yang Yun finished pickling the apricots, she asked Yang Yong to carry the bucket of apricots to the table, and then covered it with a layer of breathable white cloth and tied the sides of the white cloth tightly to prevent ants and small insects from crawling in at night. The family finished their work, washed it and went to rest.

The next day, the rooster in the yard crowed on time, Yang Yun got up to cook breakfast and pick plums, and Yang Yong also got up early to help. Of the three baskets of plums picked yesterday, Uncle Li put two baskets to Li's house, and Uncle Li said that he would bring them to Yang's house after picking them. There was only one basket of plums on the Yang family's side, and Yang Yun and Yang Yong quickly picked them out. Wash the plums and crack them, then marinate them with licorice and sugar. Today's pickled licorice plums, Yang Yun also helped Yang Yong and them, prepared more than 50 catties, yesterday's plums were very good, and today there is a bucket of apricots, so Yang Yun doesn't plan to prepare too much, too much pickled can't be sold and wasted.

After Yang Yong and Uncle Li finished breakfast, they took plums and apricots to the town to sell. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Yong and the others came back, and Yang Yun was very surprised to see Uncle He and Yu Haochen. Yang Yun invited Uncle He and Yu Haochen to sit in the house. I went to the kitchen and made some tea for them.

"Uncle He, how did you meet Uncle Li and my brother." After Yang Yun sent the tea, she asked Uncle He. Just now, Yang Yun saw Yang Yong and Uncle Li, who came back in Uncle He's carriage.

"Haha, this is really a coincidence, the little master and I were going to eat at your house today, but we met Brother Li on the way here, I saw that they were also rushing in the direction of Zhoujia Village, so I wanted to give them a ride, but when I chatted on the way, I knew that they were, Xiao Yun, your family and neighbors."

Uncle He also hid something, the people they practice martial arts have good ears, it was he who first heard Uncle Li and they said Yang Yun's name on the road, and then guessed that it might be someone who had something to do with Yang Yun, so he took the initiative to take Uncle Li and them a ride, and as soon as the two sides chatted on the road, they knew that Yang Yong was Yang Yun's brother. And Uncle He is Yang Yun's savior, and they just happened to be at Yang's house.

"Hehe, what a coincidence. Yikes! You're going to eat at my house today. Yang Yun waited for a few days and didn't see Yu Haochen and them come to dinner, and grandpa didn't let him go to town, so Yang Yun didn't know if Yu Haochen and they had left.

"Why aren't you welcome!" Uncle He pretended to be a little aggrieved. Uncle He, who is a cheating father, you really know how to act, Yang Yun slandered in her heart.

"Where will it be, you and Yu Haochen can come to my house for dinner, it really makes my house shine."

"Haha, that's pretty much it, by the way, we brought some meat in the wagon, and we just forgot to take it down." As he spoke, Uncle He stood up and prepared to go to the carriage to get meat and come down.

"Oh! You come to my house to eat and bring your own meat, and my family is really making a lot of money today. Take such a trivial matter, why bother you, just let my brother and them go. ”

"You girl, do you talk to your elders like this? Also, I told you, you can't call other people's young masters' names, you can't listen to what you say, Young Master Yu and Manager He also hope that you adults have a lot, don't worry about children. Grandpa heard Yang Yun talking to Uncle He, and his face tightened angrily, how could he say that Manager He was the one who saved his granddaughter, and his granddaughter was too impolite.

"Hehe, it's okay, Yun Yatou's hearty temperament is very pleasing, and we people in the rivers and lakes are informal." Uncle He played a round, and Grandpa's face softened. Yang Yun called Yang Yong and Li Dabao to go to the carriage and move the meat to the kitchen. Grandpa and Uncle Li accompanied Uncle He and Yu Haochen to talk in the house. Yang Yun went to the kitchen to check, Uncle He and they were quite generous, most of the things they brought were meat, and there was even beef, which was really unexpected.

Haoguo's protection of cattle is the same as fixed assets, a cow is like a house, so for cattle cultivated land, Haoguo has a clear prohibition of indiscriminate slaughter, and if it is found, it will be imprisoned. Of course, there are also some areas that will raise beef cattle for food, beef cattle must go to the government to apply for a license, the tax is also quite heavy, although the tax is heavy, some businessmen will still raise beef cattle, most of the beef is for the rich to eat, in addition to taxes, there is still a profit at all.

It seems that Yang Yun can cook a meal today, and a sumptuous meal will entertain Yu Haochen and Uncle He. (To be continued.) )
