Yuan Qing counted the fruits and calculated the price. In the end, I found a few people to stay and help. Most of the people who stayed to help were the children of the fruit growers, over sixteen or fifteen years old, men and women, in good health, with good hands and feet, and they had nothing to do at home, so they stayed here to work as helpers.

The growers explained a few words and went back.

The cottage rented by Yuan Qing temporarily became a place for fruit processing. There are about 60 baskets of fruit in the house, and the fruit can't be stored for a long time, so their workload is very difficult now.

What to do, what kind of fruit to do what kind of processing. Most of the apples are made into apple cider vinegar, the chestnuts only have three baskets and can be put away for a long time, and the persimmons can't be put for a long time, so get the persimmons first.

Persimmon can be made into persimmon cake, a total of four blue persimmons, persimmons have not been too soft, can be used, first wash the persimmons, remove the debris, dry although it is late autumn, but can also be air-dried and then until the persimmons are flattened, and then sprinkle a small amount of cool boiled water on the surface of the persimmon, the amount of water is based on the persimmon surface moist and not dripping as the standard, and then the wet persimmon is placed in the tank and sealed for 1520 days, until the persimmon surface naturally grows a layer of white powder, it can be eaten. Such persimmons are gelatinous, tough, and have a good taste.

Then, Yuan Qing, Qi Yan and the five helpers began to busily get the persimmons.

It took half a day, and the persimmon piece was completed. Of course, this is only preliminary work.

And then there are oranges, after all, oranges are also soft pulp fruits.

What to do with oranges? Yuan Qing thought hard in his mind, canned oranges. The method is also relatively simple, after all, Yuan Qing is not a person who touches fruits every day, so he can only do some simple processing.

First prepare a closed jar without glass in this era, and then pull out the skin of the orange, remove the meridians of the pulp, that is, the white net on the surface of the orange flesh leaves only the pulp, the rock sugar is dissolved with the least amount of water, and then put the sugar water and orange flesh into the jar, after it is full, add water to the steamer, steam for 10 minutes, and cover it as soon as possible after taking it off, so as not to be polluted and not good to preserve, and you can eat it after cooling.

There were six baskets of oranges, and everyone was busy until evening. Seriously, those jars also need to be bought...... Late at night, everyone eats, washes and sleeps simply.

The next day, when it was dawn, everyone had to go about their work, and the whole hut was filled with a busy atmosphere...... The jars needed to make fruit were transported to the hut one after another, those rock sugar, white vinegar were also transported in several large bags, each with a knife, trying to cut pears and apples, there was no running water in this era, water was their worst enemy, Qiuzhou is a place with mountains and water, but the water source here has to be picked up from the well a hundred meters away from the hut recently...... Tired.

Today, there are still forty blue fruits waiting for them, and if you look at the numbers, you will know that they have a long way to go......

There are also pears, apples, hawthorns. Hawthorn, Yuan Qing didn't know how to process it yet, so put it aside first, and the pears ...... I can make pear jam to it.

Peel the pears and cut them into small cubes, put the diced pears into a clean container, add sugar, and cover with a lid to taste one

At night, cover the lid and taste overnight, cook for a while, add maltose, stir constantly to prevent sticking, cook until thick, put on a plate or put it in a clean, water-free and oil-free small glass bottle, and refrigerate.

So everyone washes the pears, peels them, and puts them into pits, the so-called dices are smashed directly, so it's faster, anyway, the finished pears are also rotten, do these well, cover the lid and taste overnight, and don't care about it.

The pear has fifteen blues, and another day has passed to make it.

At the end of the night, it's time to make apples. Apples are very simple, Yuan Qing has made them before, and even if they make apple cider vinegar directly, they don't have time and mind to think about other tricks.

There were twenty baskets of apples, and they were busy until midnight......

Doing business is like this, where there is no tiredness, how to make money?

Just like them, they don't process fruits, so how can they sell fruit products? There's nothing to sell.

There were still five baskets of loose fruit left, and everyone was tired.

There are two rebounds, no need to worry, three blue hawthorns, well.

Hawthorn, let's try it slowly using the old way. First remove the core and branches, add some sugar to the boiled one, and then taste it, it tastes good, so just do it.

Finally, after four days of busyness, the emperor had no heart, and sixty blue fruits were all processed. The strength of the number of people is also a necessary factor to get it done in four days.

In the evening, everyone can finally get a good night's sleep. Yuan Qing has been so busy these days that her feet don't touch the ground, she hasn't been to the Moon Lake Restaurant for five days, although she has been busy these days, she is also fulfilling.

"By the way, what day is Qi Yan tomorrow?" Yuan Qing was very sleepy and asked lazily.

"Master, Qi Yan doesn't know." Qi Yan replied. She was also tired and dizzy.

The other helpers were even more tired and dizzy. So they had a good night's dream, and the sun was three and ten days, and they got up.

On this day, everyone's spirits were very good, and the whole house was full of the aroma of various fruits, which was very rich and pleasant.

At dinner in the morning, Yuan Qing said, "Everyone, the matter has finally come to an end, and you are all clear about the next steps." ”

"Girl, we all know that those persimmons have to be dried, and the apple cider vinegar will have to be opened in seven days...... one of the girls replied.

"Yes, that's good. Keep these fruits well. Yuan Qingdao said.

"Okay." The five helpers nodded in unison.

After eating breakfast and counting the days, Yuan Qing suddenly thought that she promised the prince that day that if the apple cider vinegar was ready, she would be the first to give it to him to taste, but it was too bad, she had said that it had been five days, but now seven days have passed......

The apple cider vinegar that Yuan Qing made before was already ready to eat three days ago.

She patted her head, she had been so busy for the past few days that she had forgotten about it...... In order to make up for his mistake, Yuan Qing, who had just rested, took a can of apple cider vinegar and hurriedly went out.

Yuan Qing walked in a hurry, in the late autumn season, the autumn wind was sweltering, and it was very cold. All the way to the palace, she didn't say anything, she hurriedly walked in, time waited for no one, and she was late......

In the palace, the late autumn is picturesque, and there is also an artistic conception.

Yuan Qing had the privilege of being able to enter and leave the palace at will, and she was almost familiar with the terrain of the palace, and when she came to the outside of the hall, she could only hear the sound of conversation coming from inside.

"Now that the matter has been ascertained, the poisoning and murder was done by Xia He, the subordinate of the kitchen, Li Si, in order to kill the two dungeon prisoners who had a grudge against her before, and it has nothing to do with Su Yue." A deep male voice.

"Everyone, Xia He is guilty." As she spoke, the woman knelt to the ground.

"Xia He, you...... Why did you wronged me? A breezy voice with a hint of complaint, a hint of hatred, slowly sounded.

"Miss, Xia He is sorry for you." Saying that, Xia He kowtowed to Su Yue and apologized.

"Yue'er, you have been wronged." A middle-aged woman's voice sounded, she seemed to care about Su Yue.

Then Su Yue threw herself into the woman's arms and wept.

"Brother Eleven, what else do you have to say? If Xia He, a slut, still refuses to confess, how much grievance will Su Yue suffer? A man in his early thirties, hateful and hateful, he is the fifth son of the emperor, the fifth prince, Li Yun, his mother has some relatives with Su Yue, Su Yue asked him to come forward this time to clear his name.

On that day, Su Yue was kicked out of the palace, she learned from the pain, and she was bent on whitewashing herself, doing whatever it takes, and finally she was whitewashed. Xia He took responsibility as much as he could, and the two corpses died without proof. Su Yue was not charged with poisoning and murder.

Yuan Qing was outside, listening to their words, and said in his heart, it seems that Su Yue is really powerful, and she is quite scheming...... Yuan Qing was thinking about whether she wanted to go in or not. She has always disliked breaking her promises, and she will do whatever she promises. In her words: either don't say yes, or if you do, you must do it.

In this situation, do you want to go in? Yuan Qing thought.

"Ah Chen, didn't my aunt say that after Yue'er returned to the capital, she washed her face with tears all day long, you really shouldn't have kicked her out." Okay, it's time to launch a family offensive, "Such a good girl, why don't you find out a little bit about it?" You have to think about it, she is a girl's family, how ...... it is to poison and kill people What an embarrassing thing? You ......" The middle-aged woman pointed at Li Chen, angry and angry.

"Auntie, Yue'er was killed by a traitor at that time, and it's no wonder that Ah Chen." As she spoke, she glanced at Xia He, who was kneeling on the ground, and the former master-servant relationship had become negative.

"Yue'er, you still help him." The woman shook her head helplessly.

Yuan Qing, who was standing outside, planned to hand the apple cider vinegar to a subordinate of the palace, and let him hand it over to the prince, so that he would not go to join in the fun.

With his heart, he found a small guy who came and went, handed him a small black jar, and explained a few words. The little guy refused.

"Miss Yuan, the prince said that if there is something to be given to him, it must be handed to him in person, otherwise, he will not accept it, so it is better for the girl to hand it to the prince in person." Saying that, the little guy hurriedly walked away.

What, must be handed to him personally?

Now, in the hall, the dispute of several people has come to an end, Su Yue has been whitewashed, she is now the object of everyone's care, a girl was wrongfully poisoned and killed, she herself must be sad, but now that the truth is revealed, she has received a lot of care.

Subsequently, in order to make up for the damage suffered by Su Yue, the fifth prince Li Yun and his mother concubine, the two of them had a large fight against Li Chen, saying that Su Yue was wronged, so how could one of his daughter's families deal with themselves? What's even worse is that he actually drove her out of the palace......

There are all the evidence and material evidence in this case, and the other party is his elder, and the prince can only be scolded, which is really ...... In fact, Li Yun is the most serious one among the many princes, he is upright, few people dared to disobey his lessons before, maybe except for today's son, every prince should be scolded by him.
