Chapter 216: Canned Oranges
"Grandma, you're going to rob?" When Su Qian came back from school, he saw oranges all over the ground, bent down to pick one up, and ate it without saying anything.
Qin slapped him on the leg, "Dead boy, clean nonsense, see if I don't beat you, this is what your little aunt bought back." ”
Su Qian turned his head to look at Su Huanbao, who was squatting on the ground peeling oranges, and asked with a hippie smile: "Little aunt, are you making a fortune again?" ”
"I haven't made a fortune yet, but I can't say for sure in the future."
"Hurry up and eat, help with the work after eating, don't you see everyone busy?"
As soon as the Qin family heard that Su Huanbao wanted to get some canned food, she didn't understand, but she fully supported and dragged Su Dafu, who was watching the fish pond, back to the house to help peel oranges.
"Mother, Qian'er still has homework to do."
"What homework, I've studied it for so many days, and the words I know are almost the same, and the bookkeeping is enough, if you want me to say that I won't learn it, it's a waste of money."
Su Huanbao squeezed his eyes towards Su Qian, "Go ahead." ”
Who is the boss in the Su family, Su Qian still knows very well, Su Huanbao spoke, and he went to write his homework with a smile.
At first, the Qin family was still peeling and eating, but after eating for a while, no matter how sweet the oranges were, they were sour and sour, and they concentrated on peeling them, and soon a large wooden basin was full, and the oranges also went down a lot.
Su Huanbao stretched his waist, got up and said, "Okay, let's do this today, no matter how many pots we have, we can't put it down, and we'll get it tomorrow." ”
Qin Shi yawned, but Su Dafu got up, now except for eating and sleeping, he is reluctant to leave the fish pond, Qin sometimes gets angry and says that he can simply live with those fish.
"Good Bao'er, I'll take these skins and throw them away, right?" It is rare for the Qin family to take the initiative to work.
"Don't, don't, mother, you can't throw these orange peels."
"Why can't you throw this thing away, can you still eat it?" Qin said with a smile.
"Mother, you're really right, orange peel, it's really edible, in addition to eating, you can also brew and drink it with tea, in short, it's a lot of use." Su Huanbao turned his head to Erliang and said, "You take the orange peel outside to dry, let my mother rest." ”
I heard that I could rest, and the Qin family didn't care about that anymore, "Good Bao'er, then I'll go lie down for a while, my mother's old waist is about to break, and when the thing you said is ready, I have to give my mother a taste while it's hot." ”
"Mother, canned food is not eaten hot."
"Okay, you can eat whatever you want, anyway, my mother has to eat."
"Don't worry, there are so many that others can't eat them all."
It's easy to make canned oranges, just boil the peeled oranges with rock sugar, and the most important thing is to watch the heat and not overcook it.
Su Huanbao took out the little hawthorn left, divided it in half, removed the seeds, and boiled it together, since they are all canned, then make some canned hawthorn by the way, as for the hawthorn seeds left, wait for next spring to plant some small hawthorn seedlings, and wait for the hawthorn seedlings to grow into hawthorn trees, which is another income.
If you want canned oranges to be stored for a long time, then the jar must be sterilized and sealed, although you can't buy glass jars in this era, but many pickled cans can still be sealed with water, but this can't be like a glass jar from the outside to see the situation inside, then there is no such condition, and it can only be settled.
The weather is cold, and the boiled canned food will soon be cold when it is placed outside, Qin's mouth is greedy, thinking about canned food, and he can't sleep steadily, and the first thing he does when he wakes up is to eat canned food.
"Mother, what's the matter?" Su Huanbao asked with some expectation.
Qin smashed his mouth and didn't speak, which made Su Huanbao a little nervous, but she quickly bit a petal of orange with a spoon and put it in her mouth, and after eating it in one bite, she couldn't help but shudder, "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's just a little cold." ”
"If only you could eat this in the summer, it's sweet and sour."
Su Huanbao's nervous nerves finally relaxed, "Mother, I didn't plan to let you eat at this time, now there are fresh oranges to buy, what to do with canned food, just wait until spring and summer, even if you have money and want to eat oranges, you can't buy them, I will take them out and sell them." ”
Qin slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Mother's good Bao'er, tell me why you are so smart, you can't eat even if you have money, so you can't make a lot of money, you have to multiply it several times, right?" ”
Su Huanbao nodded with a smile, "There are a lot of rich people in our town, as long as I don't sell it very outrageously, someone should buy it, after all, adults don't eat it, but children can't help but eat it." ”
While the Qin clan was happy, Erliang asked a very serious question, "Are you sure that you can save this one until that time and not break it?" ”
Su Huanbao patted the jars that had been sealed, "How do you know if you can't if you don't try it?" ”
In fact, you don't have to wait until summer, just wait until spring, and it's only three or two months of work, but there are no oranges to sell here, this is what I heard from the orange sellers, they can't grow oranges and some other fruits here, because the transportation is not convenient, storage and transportation are not convenient, often picked from the tree and transported to a small place like theirs, it is a few months later.
So, even if you have money, you can't eat fruit all year round.
For example, this orange, in the spring, there is no sale.
Although the containers and technology she can find now cannot be stored for a year and a half, she is still confident that when the fresh oranges are gone, her canned food will be ready to be put on the market.
Just thinking about it, Su Qian touched her arm and said with a flattering face: "Little aunt, I want to ...... tomorrow"
Su Huanbao didn't need him to finish speaking, he knew what he was thinking, "It's good to eat canned food and eat fresh oranges, you can take twenty fresh oranges tomorrow and bring them." ”
"Hee-hee!" Su Qian scratched his head and nodded heavily, he had to ask for ten, he didn't expect the little aunt to be so generous, "Little aunt, don't thank you for your kindness." ”
Su Huanbao glanced at him, "I should thank you." ”
"I'm still young, thank you when my dad comes back."
"If you don't say it, I forgot, where has your father gone these days, and there is no one to see, he and your Aunt Shuyun's affairs have been settled early, and I am also steady."
"Aunt Shuyun?" Su Qian turned his head to look at Su Huanbao, he knew that in the matter of the stepmother, he and Su Huanbao were standing on the same line, and they were looking at Aunt Yun.
"Mother, you haven't told your third uncle about this, have you?"
"Didn't you say it, isn't that fast? I thought that tomorrow you would send me back for a trip, and get some oranges for a few of your uncles to taste, such an expensive thing, they were reluctant to buy it, and by the way, they discussed things with your third uncle, you can rest assured, what I said, they can't help but listen, this thing is done, Shuyun's kid ......"
Su Qian listened to Qin's words, and his little face sank little by little.
