Chapter 19 Jelly

The genius was slightly bright, and the spring rain got up. After she washed up, she went into the stove and busied herself on. She used the noodles she kneaded last night and now made them, rolled out many thin dough sheets, added a dozen dozen eggs to the cut leeks and stirred them well, and spread the flavor on the top of the dough

Cover one, press it lightly with chopsticks, and put it in a greased pot and burn it. The fire is made of wheat straw, which is easy to burn, and it is not afraid that the fire will be too big, and the pot will burn the cake.

Chunyu is making this a box of leeks for snacks in the north, which is the method she came up with a few days ago. I didn't make it according to the original vegetable box, and the family didn't know how many big boxes to make more small boxes. The way she came up with this is a big vegetable box, and the vegetables are multifaceted and thin.

The surrounding dough is burnt and soft, and the bite is full of vegetable aroma. Her father can eat three or four in one go, and even a small bun can eat one.

Chunyu also taught her two aunts the method, and the rest of the rare food is forgotten, which usually can't be sent to the old home every time she does it.

When the smell of the vegetable box came out of the stove, the whole family was up.

"Why don't you get up early in town again?" Yang Yuemei came to the stove fire and blamed her.

"Go to bed early at night and wake up early in the morning." Chunyu said with a smile that her father and they had finished harvesting the wheat in a hurry in the past few days, and took advantage of the scorching sun to dry the wheat again. It's really tired, so the men in the family have made up for a few days of sleep. The spring rain is real

I slept until I woke up naturally, but in fact, she was too busy to take care of the jelly fruit in the past few days, so she kept thinking about it in her heart. Only then did she take advantage of the fact that she didn't have to go to the old hospital to help today, so she was ready to go to the back mountain with her younger brothers and sisters to quietly pick the jelly fruit.

Hearing Chunyu say this, Yang Yuemei didn't say anything anymore. She had already woken up and was so tired that she didn't think about it, since Osmanthus knew that she was pregnant, she regarded herself as a young grandmother every day, and she knew what to eat when she didn't do anything. The mother scolded her several times and didn't listen, so she didn't pay attention to her anymore

It's just that yesterday I took my own clothes to Yang Yuemei. Yang Yuemei was not happy with her, so she let the pink butterfly and the pink moth follow her to the river to wash, seeing the two little girls washing so many clothes, Yang Yuemei naturally couldn't bear it, so she had to help them wash it. But on the way home, I saw the smug face of osmanthus,

Yang Yuemei secretly swore that she could no longer sympathize with this family, and just found guilt for herself.

After the family had dinner, Li Dajun and Yang Yuemei went to the old courtyard.

"Eldest sister, why don't you go to the old home with your father?" Chun Tao asked her eldest sister that she had recently played with Ma Yanghua, the youngest daughter of Lizheng Ma's sixth master's family, whom she disliked the most, and she could go to Ma Xiaohua when she went to the old courtyard. Spring peach and poplar can play together for nothing else, just because of the size of poplar

The aunt's aunt, who is an aunt in a big family, has changed her name to Yanhong's second girl to come to her house. Chun Tao followed Yang Hua to her house once, and when she saw it, she saw that Yan Hong, but she couldn't go up and say a few words with the two little maids around her. I heard Yang Hua say that today she is going to the temple at the head of the village to beg

A child sign, I want Yang Hua to take it, Yang Hua said that by the way, you can bring Chun Tao, Chun Tao doesn't want to miss it.

"What's wrong, you want to go?" Chunyu asked, she knew what Chun Tao was thinking, but she didn't agree with her sister being so enthusiastic to get to know Yanhong, who was a concubine.

"Yes......" Chun Tao whispered.

"Alright then, go ahead, just don't get too close to that family again. Which one can be a concubine is a good one. Chunyu said slightly sternly. Although she knew that she wouldn't listen to it, Chunyu still wanted to knock it.

"Got it." Chun Tao said, hurriedly entered the house and brought the silk flower that begged Chunyu to go to the county seat a few days ago to come back, and then ran away.

Chunyu sighed and didn't say anything more. This second sister has a strong personality and is sensitive, and she will complain in her heart if she talks too much, I just hope she can clear it herself. Or Chunyan and Xiao Baozi are closer to themselves, and they are obedient to everything.

"Sister, what are we going to do?" Chunyan asked obediently.

"It's a secret, don't tell anyone else, Sanni and Xiao Baozi, okay?" Chunyu said with a smile.

"Can't Daddy say that?" Xiao Baozi asked hurriedly, although he didn't know what her eldest sister was talking about.

"Yes, don't say it to your second sister. This is the only three of us who know the secret, okay? Chunyu said. Her mother will say it, but her father doesn't let him know. Her father's soft-hearted grandmother said everything as soon as she cried, and the method of pickling preserved fruits in the previous paragraph was what her grandmother wanted to let herself

The eldest brother's family also learned to pickle preserved fruits and sell them for money, so they asked Li Dajun about it. Li Dajun couldn't bear to say it, but he gave up when he heard that the pickled food from her uncle's house was not so delicious and didn't sell for much money. And here Chunyu took the initiative to tell her eldest aunt and second aunt the method, and both of them also made it

The same preserved fruit as Chunyu was also sold to Qin Ji, and then made a lot of money.

Qin Ji's business is very good now, and it has gradually stabilized. Chunyu heard Uncle Qin say that he was also going to open a branch in Dongcheng after a while. Compared with Xicheng, Dongcheng is more prosperous, basically all the rich families are gathered in Dongcheng, and the land and housing prices are also very high, so Uncle Qin is thinking about it.

It turned out that Chunyu was going to take them to the back mountain to pick the jelly fruit.

Chunyan and Xiaobaozi each carried a small basket, Chunyu carried a large basket, and the three of them each wore a cool hat and locked the door and set off.

When he arrived at the back mountain, Xiao Baozi heard that the secret of his eldest sister turned out to be a ghost steamed bun, and he didn't ask why, so he led the way to find a mountain pass. The jelly fruit there is simply full of mountain passes, which can make the spring rain very excited. The flower and fruit period of this jelly fruit is still long, and it is still there until the first month. In addition to this jelly fruit made

In addition to the delicious food, Chunyu seemed to see a lot of silver flying towards her......

When the three of them filled all three back baskets, Chunyu also put a lot of grass on them. After that, it was difficult to carry it down the mountain, it was too heavy, and the spring rain only felt that the shoulder hurt. Chunyan and Xiao Baozi's basket is not light, but neither of them showed a painful expression on their backs, which made Chunyu depressed again, is she really born weak?

I finally got home, and Chunyu didn't care about being tired, so I was busy directly.

She first peeled all the jelly fruits, cut them and put them in a dustpan, and dried them for an hour because the sun was very poisonous. While drying the fruits, Chunyu went to the stove again and boiled a pot of boiling water to cool it for later use.

Chunyu put all the fruits into a clean cloth bag, fetched a bucket of well water from the well, and soaked the bag in the well water.

It is said that this jelly fruit has toxins, so after being soaked in well water, it is not only disinfected, but also the jelly made will be smoother. Chunyu poured the soaked pulp and cool boiled water into a clean vat, and then kneaded the jelly fruit in the bag vigorously and repeatedly with his hands. There is gum in the flesh of this fruit

If you have the same quality, you need to squeeze them all out.

Because there are too many whole jelly fruits, Chunyu kneaded it like gluten for a long time before it felt kneaded clean. Finally, she took out the cloth bag, and after letting the juice that had become a little sticky white inside sit for half an hour, they automatically condensed into a crystal clear, jelly-like cold powder.

After condensing into cold powder, Chunyu put some into a large bowl, crushed it with a wooden spoon and added some sugar water into it. She couldn't wait to taste it first, it was very sweet and delicious, cool and smooth. In this hot and scorching summer, in the ancient countryside where there were no ice cubes and refrigerators to freeze drinks, this jelly powder

It's simply the best, eating such a bowl of cold noodles, the whole body is suddenly cool, and the heat is completely gone. It's a pity that there is no honey, otherwise it would taste better.

When she came back to her senses, she found two little radish heads and their longing, looking pitiful little eyes, and she was immediately laughed out loud by cuteness.

She brought two more bowls, filled the family sugar water and gave it to the two little ones, and they really wanted to eat one bowl. Chunyu was afraid that they would be uncomfortable if they ate too much, but he couldn't stand their little eyes, so he had to add half a bowl to each of them.

After cleaning up the bowls they ate, Chunyu used a wooden basin to fill a large pot in the large jar, put it in a hanging basket and hung it in the well to freeze.

He put the rest in another wooden basin, covered it with a clean damp cloth, and took his younger siblings to the old courtyard.

In this hot summer, no one can resist the temptation of this cold powder, and no one in the family has eaten two bowls. The third aunt kept asking Chunyu what she was doing, and her grandmother Li Liu also asked, and Chunyu also smiled and didn't say anything.

Osmanthus was pregnant, and she was even more tired of summer, so she only felt that this cold powder was delicious and cool, and wanted to eat another bowl, but was stopped by Li Liu. The reason is not that she is afraid that she is a pregnant woman and cannot be greedy for cold, nor is she afraid of wasting this cold powder, but just a waste of Zhu Gui's sugar water.

If Chunyu knew her milk's thoughts, I was afraid that she would spit out a mouthful of old blood. This jelly fruit doesn't cost money, but it takes a lot of time to make. She sat down this time, and she couldn't lift her arms anymore, okay......
