Chapter 51: Berry Jam Anniversary
Grunt.
After a while, the raspberry jam in the enamel pot was gurgling. Brown sugar with a mixture of raspberries and aromas wafts throughout the sea buckthorn heath.
Almost all of the worker ants participated in the operation, except for the eighteen spear ants. Xiao Ran had long expected that the smell of boiling berry jam would be fragrant, and it would definitely float in the sea buckthorn wasteland, the land of the dead, and the artemisia jungle. If the god smells this, he will definitely come to find out, and when the time comes, maybe the god will launch a surprise attack and take the berry jam as his own.
But to Xiao Ran's surprise, the boiling process of the thatch berry sauce was very smooth, and the Artemisia Empire of the God of Power never appeared.
After boiling for about half an hour, the raspberry jam in the enamel pot was already quite thick. Xiao Ran thought to himself, after boiling the water of the thatch berries, it shouldn't be a problem to store them for a year and a half.
A long straw stalk reached into the enamel pot and dipped a little raspberry jam out. All the workers stared at the red jam the whole time, and they really wanted to come forward and take a bite.
Xiao Ran took a sip.
"Wow!
A strong smell of thatchberries instantly hit Xiao Ran's entire head, and this natural game woke up Xiao Ran's entire childhood. He tasted it again, and it turned out that the berries themselves are rich in sugar, and it seems that they can be made into a good sauce without brown sugar. If jam made with brown sugar can give 95 points, then sauce without brown sugar may also be able to score 90 points, Xiao Ran thought to himself.
Although the raspberry jam has been made, it has become a problem to scoop up the raspberry jam in this enamel pot. First of all, there is no spoon here, and even if there is, it is not something that the worker ants can lift.
This leverage still has to be used again, Xiao Ran thought to himself. He first asked the workers and the Shi brothers to work together to push the two small pebbles, turn the lever, and adjust the position of the big pebbles to the stove.
Then, Xiao Ran instructed the worker ants to untie the small pebbles, and at this time, the large pebbles landed on a toon leaf on the stove at the second height. Xiao Ran instructed the worker ants to untie it and replace it with a very resilient blade of grass about a centimeter wide. This blade of grass was washed very clean with morning dew, and after being replaced on the lever, Xiao Ran used the method of lifting large pebbles to transport the grass berry jam in the enamel pot one at a time.
This blade of grass is much lighter than a large pebble, and two small pebbles for balancing are more than enough to use one. Using levers, blades of grass and straw stalks, the workers salvaged the raspberry jam little by little and put it on the clean little leaves. Using the leaves, the raspberry jam was poured back into the vat.
Xiao Ran looked at the little by little accumulation of thatberry jam in the glass jar, and was very relieved, although the process was tortuous and complicated, but the made thatberry jam could make the sperm-proof worker ants have a richer winter.
After the first jar of thatch berry jam was made, the workers and the Shi brothers began to make the second jar of thatch berry jam. The four brothers from the worker ant and the Shi family were busy from early morning to dusk before finally completing the three-cylinder thatch berry jam.
The workers went through three times of heavy physical labor, and they were all tired and lying on the ground, motionless.
Xiao Ran walked up to the workers and said loudly in a mustache: "Now, I want to announce two good news. ”
"Good news?"
"What's the news?"
"yes, yes, what's the news?"
......
Xiao Ran said: "Then I will announce the first good news first, everyone has worked hard all day today, very hard, very tired, so, tomorrow we will have a day off!"
"Yay!"
"It's a holiday!"
"Yay!"
This is the first time that Xiao Ran heard that the workers were happy because of the holiday. In the past, they were always pestering themselves to do the work of making food.
Xiao Ran said again: "In order to commemorate today's special day, I have decided that every year in the future, today will be used as a legal holiday, called 'Maoberry Jam Memorial Day', and have a day off!"
"Yay!"
"That's great!"
"yes, yes, great!"
"But is that the second piece of good news?"
......
"No, tomorrow's holiday and today's holiday every year after that are the first good news. Xiao Ran replied.
"And what's the second piece of good news?" asked a worker ant.
"The second good news is that the thatchberry jam on the leaves of the thatchberry jam tree, the thatchberry jam stained on the big pebbles, and the thatchberry jam that the enamel cauldron can't transport away, is our dinner!"
Xiao Ran said, and all the worker ants became excited.
"Ahem...... Don't move yet, let the old man come first!" the wizard ran to the raspberry jam on the leaves.
But the wizard is old after all, where can he grab the young ants, and the rattan pepper takes the lead with a sprint.
"Apprentice, first honor Master!" The Grandmaster just sat still, he wanted to eat this raspberry jam that he had never tasted before, and he also wanted to retain the grandmaster's demeanor, so he just asked the rattan pepper to help him get a portion.
The four brothers of the Shi family also rushed up, ran to the leaves, and ate them in a big gulp.
"I thought popcorn was the most delicious thing in the world, but I didn't expect this raspberry jam to be even more delicious than popcorn!" said Staro.
"That's right, big brother, we're following the right ants!" Shi Zhenxiang said.
"Hmmm!," Taro took a bite.
"Well, that's delicious. Taro took another bite......
"Big brother, don't you take a bite and call someone's name, okay! Shi Zhenxiang was a little angry.
"Oh, I know, I know, but I didn't call you. Staro took another big bite, "Fragrant!"
......
Xiao Ran stood on the edge of the enamel pot, he thought that everyone would rush up and grab in front of him, but to his surprise, not a single ant came to grab him. A huge enamel pot, he is the only ant. Because everyone knows that if there is no Xiao Ran, there will never be this incomparably delicious raspberry jam.
Xiao Ran looked back, and everyone was not far behind, or ran to the leaves or cobblestones. There was only one lonely, staring left and right larvae who did not move, and did not know where to go.
"Come here!" Xiao Ran beckoned to Xiao Bei, who was at a loss.
Xiaobei happily ran to Xiao Ran's side and said, "Can I eat with you, Prime Minister?"
"Of course, let's eat!"
After listening to this, Xiaobei happily took a bite in the enamel pot.
"It's delicious, it's delicious!" Becky's tentacles said frantically.
"Really......"
"It's delicious, it's delicious! it's better than the milk of the cows of the Artemisia Empire!" replied in the affirmative.
Cows, milk, ants, and cows? Is this little becky happy and confused...... Xiao Ran looked at Xiao Bei, who was eating happily, and his heart was very warm and relieved.
All the ants are eating wildly in the sea buckthorn wasteland, and this dinner is another delicacy after their roasted leg essence eggs and salt and pepper bamboo shoots. However, this delicacy is different from the previous two times, this is a vegetarian diet. Sugar is one of the favorite foods of ants, and this delicacy in front of us not only has sugar, but also the fruity flavor of thatchberry, isn't it fragrant and fragrant.
