Chapter 66: Blueberry Jam
Dr. Wang was finally captured by the sisters' sugar-coated shells, and agreed to go to Hongsongtun with them for two days. The old man was in a hurry when he wanted to go out temporarily, and finally arrived at Hongsongtun before dinner, and everyone naturally welcomed him warmly, but the village chief's expression was a little unnatural.
After a large group of people had dinner in the courtyard, Dr. Wang and his personal servant were arranged by Zhao He to live in his bedroom, and Zhao He ran to squeeze in a room with Mr. Wei. Dr. Wang's servant saw that there were all children who were about the same age as him, so he also ran away, leaving Dr. Wang alone here.
"Girl, just tell me something. Why did you leave my old man alone in this daughter country? He asked, eating a watermelon that had just been fished out of the well. Not to mention that the groundwater in Hongsongtun is really not ordinary cool, and the fruits of the town in summer are particularly relieving of the heat.
"Grandpa Wang, what you say is true, our family is really like a daughter country, but when the house over there is built, there will be men and women in our family." Doctor Wang's words are really appropriate, Ling'er said with a smile. The place over there is big, and a big house with three entrances was built near here, and you can live in it when it is completed.
"You've spent a lot of money this time, haven't you? He also built a three-entry house and a two-story workshop. If you don't get the money, just say it, my old man still has a little in his hand. "Doctor Wang went to see it just now, and it was the first time he saw someone building the first floor directly underground, and he thought that the Min'er sisters wanted to borrow money, so they would deliberately stay here to give them a chance to speak. Or he would have gone to live there a long time ago, not to mention that it was all men, and he could still see the excitement or something.
"Don't worry, my sister has enough money." Ling'er didn't think much about it, and replied casually.
"Don't borrow money? Then why did you let me come? "Doctor Wang is not a fool, he has long guessed what their intention is to let him come, he thought he was borrowing money, but now he is really blindsided.
"Grandpa Wang, seeing what you said, why can't we invite you to come over and have fun?" Min'er, who came out of the house, happened to eat Dr. Wang's words.
"Don't bluff me, what do you want me to do when you're busy? If the house is built and let me come to play, I can still believe it, play now? Who believes? "Doctor Wang doesn't have to say anything official, let's come here.
"Grandpa Wang, we asked you to come because of a small matter to trouble you." Ling'er said with a grin.
"What's the matter? This grinding. "Dr. Wang's appetite was completely suspended.
"That's right, we want you to show my father, and then my grandmother will check the pulse, she has gained a lot of weight recently, and we are worried that she can't stand it." Ling'er opened her mouth to tell their purpose.
"Explain what you think, or I can't guarantee that what you say will satisfy you." Dr. Wang still knows a lot about their family's affairs, but if he is allowed to tell lies as a doctor, it will never be possible.
"Grandpa Wang, that's ......" Min'er explained their plan to Dr. Wang, only to see Dr. Wang rubbing his beard and nodding.
"Girl, there's no one in the workshop now, when are we going to start?" Lan Xin came over and asked.
"What are you going to do? I'm going to get involved, or I'm going back to town right away. Dr. Wang immediately became interested when he saw their mysterious appearance.
"Grandpa Wang, you are really right." Ling'er was helpless.
"Let's start in a moment, let Youren and them carry the jar down first. Be careful not to make people suspicious, just move generously, don't look like a thief. Min'er confessed, and then went into the house to change clothes. Ling'er also put on the smock of their old workshop for Dr. Wang, and his old man felt strange when he put it on, but he didn't say anything when he saw that they were all wearing aprons that were just more than him. It's just that the others are so suffocated that they almost don't have internal injuries, and that's the smock worn by female workers.
"Grandpa Wang, what you will see in a moment will be the most secret recipe in our workshop." Min'er said this to Dr. Wang before entering the basement and went down first. Doctor Wang was completely occupied by curiosity at this time, anyway, he wouldn't leak it out, thinking of this, he also followed, and later there were Ling'er, Lan Xin, Qiao'er, Liu's and Youren. At the end, Arihito fastened the door from the inside, and in the inconspicuous corner of the workshop there were four other brothers who were sentry.
"Ling'er, do you think these blueberries are okay?" Min'er pointed to the batch of fresh blueberries that Zhao He had put in beforehand and said.
"Yes, where are the bees and sugar?" Ling'er looked at the basket of various mountain fruits, and was very excited.
"Over there, do you want me to move over?" Youren asked, he is mainly here to be a laborer.
"Don't use it yet, I'll see if this jar can be used first." Ling'er had to check the jar first.
"Don't worry, girl, we all brushed and dried according to your requirements, and I have seen them one by one after moving in." Liu Shi made a timely addition, her heart is still very ironing, and the people who can come in tonight are the most trusted people of the Min'er sisters.
"Okay, then let's get started, you guys watch me do it first, and then we'll do a lot of it together." After Ling'er finished speaking, she first put on the headscarf and mask, then carefully washed her hands, and began to demonstrate to everyone when her hands were completely dry.
I saw that she first put some fresh blueberries in a large wooden basin, then put a large spoonful of flour, and put in an appropriate amount of water to scrub it a few times by hand, and then wanted to pour it out with just water, but she didn't have the strength, or Youren was there to help wash the big pot of blueberries with water. Put the washed blueberries on the straw curtain to control the water, and then Ling'er began to explain to everyone how to wash the blueberries and what kind of strength they have. When everyone understood, the water was almost under control, and then Liu Shi spoke:
"Miss Ling, do you still say that I and Youren will do it, so it can be faster, don't you think?" Min'er immediately agreed when she heard this, and Ling'er had no objections.
"That's fine, Aunt Liu, you put these blueberries in that big casserole." This big casserole was discovered by Min'er when they bought the jar, and at that time, there was only one Ling'er and the shopkeeper who ordered five, and the shopkeeper was very interesting and didn't ask for their silver, just said that he would take care of his business more in the future.
"Now you two crush the blueberries with this, be careful not to spill the juice, it's a good thing to waste." Ling'er handed them two new laundry mallets, which were a bit like baseball bats, one big and one small, but not that long. The two of them crushed all the blueberries seriously, and not a drop of them spilled out, Ling'er untied the water bladder from his waist and poured some of the liquid in it before saying:
"Let's start lighting the fire now" Lan Xin immediately lit the iron stove under the casserole when she heard it, and Ling'er kept stirring it with a big wooden spoon, at this time she missed the non-stick pan very much.
"This casserole will be specially used to make blueberry jam in the future, and nothing else can be put in it, or this pot will be wasted." Unlike a nonstick pan, you can wash it with water without leaving a trace of residue. When Min'er heard this, she quickly wrote a blue word on the outer wall of the casserole, and Ling'er opened her mouth after seeing the soup boiling bubbles:
"Lan Xin uses a small fire. After the fire is boiled, it should be immediately reduced to low heat, and it should be stirred constantly, and it should not be stirred back and forth in one direction. The others listened carefully, and what made them even more curious was Ling'er's water bladder, but they didn't ask.
"Now put out the fire. Look at the soup thickening, and when it bubbles, you have to put out the fire, or you should paste the pot. Ling'er carefully explained while stirring. When the jam in the pot was lukewarm, she added a little more of the mysterious juice to it, and then put honey in it, and said as she put it:
"This honey is sweetened, if you put more of it, it will be sweeter, and if you put it less, it will be sour, so many jams can be put in three tablespoons. After a while, you can install the altar when it cools well, and you can add water to the water residue on Youren's side. As soon as Ling'er's words fell, he saw Youren knock twice on the ventilation window, and a wooden tube with a child's thick arm came in from the outside, Youren fixed the wooden tube in place, and took a slightly thicker head and pressed it on it, which looked like a large faucet. After everything was done, Youren knocked on three more ventilation windows, and in a short time water flowed out of the wooden tube and into the big rocks on the ground through the corner. When the water level rose to a third, Youren knocked three more times, and the water stopped. At this time, Ling'er and the others had already put all the jam into the jar, and covered the jar and poured some water to seal it. Youren and Dr. Wang worked together to refrigerate the jar in the deep well water filled with ice.
"Okay, Youren has often changed to cold water in the past two days, if it's hot, it'll be over." Ling'er confessed.
"Don't worry, Miss Ling, I won't forget it." There is a benevolent color road.
"When will we know if this will be successful?" Min'er is most concerned about this, and only when it is completed can it be produced in large quantities.
"You can eat it in three days, if it is done, we have to order some small jars, this jam must be eaten as soon as possible once it is windy, or it is not easy to spoil." Ling'er explained.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier? Still use such a big jar? Min'er was so angry that she wanted to knock her little head.
"Sister, if this happens, these are all going to be given away, or who knows that the jam is delicious?" Ling'er had already thought about it, or she wouldn't have made jam in front of Dr. Wang. According to Min'er's meaning, as long as he sees it, he has to help, who let him know more rich and noble people in this White Birch Town?
"I kind of get it, you two are waiting for me here? I said, why don't you carry me on your back at all, you want me to help you? Doctor Wang listened to the words of the two, and after a little thought, he figured out the joints, he really couldn't cry and laugh, so he had to be careful not to let them sell them and help them count the silver when the time came.
