Chapter 48 Jujube Products

Ji Wan and Xie Xianhua glanced at each other, and their eyes showed horror.

He cut down the jujube tree!!

Ji Wan said with annoyance: "I knew that Lai County made this person have no bottom line, but we are still one step late!" ”

"You did your best, don't blame yourself." Xie Xianhua couldn't see Ji Wan's frowning.

He thought for a while: "My father and I will go to the village chief now, and then call the sisters-in-law to help, you can make some sour dates at home and eat them, is it feasible?" ”

Ji Wan nodded: "It's only like this now, I hope to stop more people from cutting jujube trees." ”

If the jujube trees are cut down, the efforts of these villagers over the past few years will not only come to naught.

Moreover, they will be even more unable to repay the money of the bank......

Such a big hole, even if you sell your sons and daughters, you can't fill it.

At that time, how many families will there be in Fentong County, fragmented?

Ji Wan didn't know......

The only thing she can do now is to make sour dates and convince everyone not to cut down trees.

Hopefully it's in time!

Xie Xianhua left in a hurry.

Ji Wan took a deep breath and instructed Gu Yiping while cleaning the sour dates.

"I'll leave the rheumatism cream to you."

Gu Yiping panicked: "Master, I won't!" ”

"4 taels of garlic, 4 taels of pepper, 4 taels of ginger, 4 taels of green onions, 1 snake molt, 1 pound of sesame oil."

Gu Yiping was excited, this is the recipe!

"Master, master, why did you tell me the recipe directly?"

Ji Wan washed the hand of the sour jujube, paused, looked at Gu Yiping, and asked curiously.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't?"

"But that's the recipe?"

Gu Yiping was anxious for Ji Wan's generosity.

"Master, shouldn't you test the apprentice first, and after a long time, you will reveal the recipe little by little?"

Ji Wan directly ignored Gu Yiping's surprise and continued.

"The medicine is boiled into the oil to bring out the juice, and after filtering, it is put into 6 taels of Huangdan, and boiled into a paste."

After speaking, she raised her eyes and looked at her stupid apprentice.

"The master who needs to test the apprentice and reveal the recipe little by little is because the stomach is in small stock, and he is afraid that the apprentice will starve to death because of the lack of inventory."

She said lightly: "But in my place, you can imagine more." ”

Gu Yiping was stunned.

"Master has a lot of recipes?"

Ji Wan looked up at the sky, remembering the days when Old Man Fu forced her every day and memorized half a room of medical books......

She was stunned: "There are always tens of thousands of recipes." ”

"Tens of thousands of squares? Hiss-"

Gu Yiping was so surprised that he bit his tongue and grinned in pain.

Ji Wan's face was small.

"Gu Yiping, it's useless to just know how to memorize prescriptions, you have to be one person, and only with me can you be qualified."

Gu Yiping felt a pang in his heart and wrote it down carefully.

It's hard to do it all at once......

It is necessary to be familiar with the pharmacology of each herb and have insight into the symptoms.

If it was before, Gu Yiping wouldn't dare to think about it.

Can ...... now

He looked at the busy figure in front of him, and suddenly gave birth to a sense of pride!

……

Ji Wan glanced at it, and after self-motivation, the cheap apprentice who began to boil the plaster seriously hooked his lips, which was quite teachable.

She took the time to look at it, and Gu Yiping's method of boiling medicine was indeed not wrong.

Ji Wei continued to process the sour dates with confidence.

It just so happened that Aunt Xie, Xie Xianrong, Qiao's and Bao's people came over.

They were still at a loss.

Aunt Xie saw Ji Wan squatting next to the big wooden basin, washing a pot of dates, and wanted to roll up her sleeves to help.

Ji Wan hurriedly stopped and handed a bench to Aunt Xie.

"You're not fully fit, why don't you sit here and talk to us?"

Xie Xianrong also echoed: "Mother, I'll just say it, Ji Wan will definitely not let you work, I'll come." ”

As he spoke, Xie Xianrong rolled up his sleeves and washed sour dates with Ji Wan.

Aunt Xie couldn't resist the kindness of Ji Wan and her daughter, so she had to sit down, and she sighed.

"Hey, what's going on? As soon as I heard what the third child said, my heart pounded. ”

Qiao Shi didn't believe in evil and picked up the sour jujube and took a bite......

Suddenly, her facial features wrinkled, and then she looked worried.

"It's really a waste jujube tree, it's so sour, can it make delicious food?"

The worried Qiao Shi paused for a moment, and couldn't help but continue to chatter.

"I don't know if Brother Xianfu and the second brother went to our mother's house, can they convince our father?"

Bao's eyes instantly turned red.

"Hey, my father and mother don't plant much, I just think those people are so pitiful, they have fallen to the point of selling their sons and daughters."

She thought about it for a while, and suddenly excitedly proposed: "Otherwise, let's help everyone." ”

Qiao's heart was suffocated, and he felt that he couldn't breathe!

What is Bao talking about relief for everyone?

It's not enough to sell the Xie family!

She hurriedly stopped: "How many families can we help with this little silver?" ”

"But how can you see death and not save ......?"

When Aunt Xie saw that these two daughters-in-law were about to fight again, she was immediately worried.

"Okay, now help Ji Wan make food, you don't have to fight!" Xie Xianrong spoke out in time.

Ji Wan's eyes flashed slightly.

Through these days, she also has a deeper understanding of the Xie family.

Qiao Shishan has his own careful thoughts, and he is more picky on weekdays, and his vision pattern is smaller.

But in Qiao's cognition, she thinks that she is particularly diligent and thrifty, and has always wanted to be in charge.

Bao is kind without a bottom line, with extremely soft ears and no opinions.

Xie Xianrong's temperament has changed a lot, he dares to love and hate, but he is too impulsive.

Aunt Xie's kindness is weakness, and she can get by.

If the Xie family has been poor, such a character can be safe, but if it becomes rich, it will be a big problem!

And it is impossible for her to let the Xie family continue to be poor......

"What do you think we can do, girl?"

Aunt Xie's voice interrupted Ji Wan's thoughts.

Ji Wan raised her head and thought about it.

"Let's make sour jujube wine, sour jujube grains and sour jujube cake."

"Can you still make wine?" Aunt Xie and the others were surprised.

In her eyes, wine is not cheap.

Ji Wan nodded.

"Let's wash the jujube first, drain the water, and when we ate yesterday, didn't we have a bottle of sake left? Use it to match it with sour dates one-to-one and put it in a clay pot. ”

She muttered a little: "If you leave it in a cool place for 30 days, the wine will turn a warm sauce red, and if you like sweetness, you need to add some sugar." ”

Aunt Xie and the others were surprised, is it so simple?

"What about sour jujube grains and sour jujube cakes?" Joe asked with interest.

"To make sour jujube grains, you need to go outside the door and pick some purple leaf grass to come back."

Ji Wan replied while handing the cleaned jar to Xie Xianrong to dry in the sun.

"We put the purple leaves on the stove to dry, and put the sour dates in the pot and steam them until the sour dates are cooked thoroughly."

"Wait for the sour jujube to steam until it opens naturally, crush it with a rice spoon, and then add sugar and stir constantly."

"Until the sour jujube paste and the kernel are separated, make them into blocks, put them on the bamboo weaving to dry, and sprinkle them with dried and crushed purple leaf grass."

The daughters of the Xie family are all people who have been doing stove work since childhood, and their hands and feet are neat.

As soon as Ji Wan finished speaking, the three of Qiao's family didn't even need Ji Wan to demonstrate, and immediately acted in an orderly manner.

Ji Wan really didn't need her to interfere, so she simply made sour jujube cake alone.

To make sour jujube cake, you need to control the ratio between sweet potatoes, sugar and jujubes.

Sweet potatoes and sugar will be sour if they are less, and they will only have a sweet potato flavor if they are more, and the taste is not very good.

The three are made in a 2:4:1 ratio.

After Ji Wan steamed the sour jujube through water, put it slightly to a less hot hand, and peel off the core of the sour jujube meat while it was hot.

She stirred vigorously with chopsticks until the sour jujube meat and the core gradually separated, and picked out the core while stirring.

At this time, add the steamed and crushed sweet potatoes and sugar, and mix well with the sour jujube meat.

After half a pillar of incense, Ji Wan got a small pot of sour jujube cake paste.

She uses the back of a spoon to paste the sour date cake, spreads it out in a pot, and slowly bakes it over a charcoal fire.

After a while, the entire Xie family's small courtyard was filled with a caramel fragrance, and after smelling it, his tongue suddenly became relished.

Da Zhuang and Xiao Hua, who were teasing the little white wolf, were suddenly hooked by the sweet fragrance, and the two swallowed their saliva and looked at each other.

Suddenly, in unison: "Auntie is making something delicious!" ”

As soon as they finished speaking, the two peesticks couldn't sit still anymore and rushed towards the kitchen.

When Tiger Head and Xiaohua entered the kitchen, Ji Wan was using a spatula to scoop up the hardened sour jujube cake in the pot.

When she saw the tiger head and the little flower, she smiled and urged.

"You go wash your hands first, and my aunt will get you something delicious."

"Wow, there's something delicious!"

The two children cheered and ran to wash their hands.

Ji Wan used scissors to cut out a few animal-shaped sour jujube cakes and put them in a bowl.

When the tiger head and joke washed their hands and came back, they suddenly saw a few pieces of golden sour jujube cake in the shape of rabbits, pigs, and small fish in the small bowl, and their eyes widened in surprise!

Qiao's saw that Ji Wan actually gave the two children half a bowl of sour jujube cake?

She twisted her eyebrows, and immediately taught Ji Wan seriously.

"How can you give so much to your child? Sugar is expensive, and children can't starve to death if they eat less, so one person can give half a piece. ”

When Tiger Head and Xiaohua heard this, they suddenly became uneasy.

When Ji Wan saw it, she quietly winked at the two children and asked them to eat quickly.

The nervousness of Tiger Head and Xiaohua disappeared in an instant.

They stuck out their tongues at Ji Wan, held the bowl, and quietly slipped out of the kitchen.

Outside the kitchen, there was a burst of tiger heads and small flowers, and cheerful laughter.

"Eh, these two kids!" Qiao's was so angry that he wanted to chase him out and snatch back the sour jujube cake.

"Sister-in-law, come and help me taste the taste of sour jujube cake." Ji Wan stopped Qiao's.

Suddenly, there was a sound at the door of the Xie family's courtyard.

They looked over and found that it was Father Xie and Xie Xianhua, who had returned with the villagers.

Xie Xianhua walked into the kitchen and stopped at a glance, the bright yellow color was like amber, drying on the sour jujube cake in the bamboo weaving.

"Is this made of sour dates?" He asked Ji Wan in surprise.

"This is sour jujube cake, and we also made sour jujube grains and sour jujube wine, but sour jujube wine, it takes some time to drink."

When Xie Xianhua heard this, he picked up a piece of sour jujube cake, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

Sweet and sour, with caramel aroma, the taste is more delicious than many dim sum shops in the county!

His eyes lit up slightly, and he tasted the sour jujube grains again.

Although the taste of sour jujube grains is slightly inferior to sour jujube cake in terms of appearance and taste, it is also a rare food.

Xie Xianhua was relieved.

"I'll take it to everyone to taste, and when I see the real thing, everyone will be relieved."

Xie Xianhua rushed to finish speaking, and went out with the bamboo weaving.

After a while, the voices of the villagers in amazement came from the courtyard.

The heart that Ji Wan was carrying finally fell back.

She saw that the villagers were eating quickly, and she went out with a bamboo in her arms.

In the courtyard, the head of Bai Village and the villagers, all with smiles on their faces, discussed eating with each other, and swept away the sad faces on their faces just now.

Village Chief Bai saw Ji Wan hugging another bamboo and weaving it out, and immediately cried and laughed.

"Let's just try it, why did we take it out again?"

Ji Jing pursed her lips and smiled: "These are not for everyone to eat." ”

In the confusion of everyone, she sighed and explained.

"I want to ask everyone to take these with them, go to the nearby villages, and spread the word that the sour jujube tree is not a waste jujube tree."

Village Chief Bai did not hesitate.

"This is as it should be, it's not easy for everyone, I'll let them run."

The villagers of Qinglu Village also responded one by one.

Soon, the villagers took their things and set off.

Village Chief Bai came to Ji Wan's side and hesitated.

"Girl, everyone has gone out, but no one has gone to Wangshui Village, you say, should we talk to the people of Wangshui Village?"
