Chapter 41: Loquat Cream
Xu Jiaojiao said with a smile, "It's because I've seen it in my eldest brother's book before, the shape and description of this fruit, the book not only introduces the name of the fruit, and the effect of the fruit, but also writes that this fruit can be made into loquat paste, loquat dew, loquat wine or something, I was quite interested at the time, so I wrote it down, we don't sell fruit tomorrow, I want to make some loquat dew and loquat paste to sell tomorrow......"
"Ahh
That's what happened.
I learned it all from books.
Scholars are different and knowledgeable.
Everyone was amazed and happy at the same time.
I didn't expect Xu Jiaojiao to have a backhand ......!
Xu Zhangshi clapped his hands and said, "I know that Jiaojiao is a smart person, your eldest brother didn't like to teach you before, just you are so smart, I don't think he needs to teach you, if the old lady sends you to the school to learn from Mr., maybe you will already be a female showman, not worse than the eldest brother!" ”
No matter what, let's praise the lovely old girl first.
And said, "But, Jiaojiao, if you read the book once, will you make that loquat ointment, loquat dew?" ”
"It should be, it's very simple, mother, let's do it together. Didn't I buy that polysaccharide yesterday? That's what it's used to do. Xu Jiaojiao said.
Don't say it to death, and don't say it without confidence.
Give them a little confidence and get to work faster.
Xu Zhang's laughed, "It turns out that Jiaojiao, you thought of today's situation yesterday, you have a backhand, you are worthy of my Xu Zhang's old daughter, there is no more intelligent and blessed female Jiao Bao than us, we Liao Qing are blessed." ”
Erya also suddenly realized, "Auntie, you asked us to cut so many bamboo tubes, could it be for loquat paste or loquat dew?" ”
"Yes, it's used for loquat ointment. In the case of loquat dew, the process is simple, and when the time comes, you can directly sell it in the rice bowl at home. ”
"Okay, listen to my aunt."
Luo also admired Xu Jiaojiao's tightness, this old girl fell into the water, her whole body fell through, and she was generous and capable.
Blow your socks off.
I can't help but want to listen to her arrangement.
Xu Jiaojiao roughly assigned the task, the method of making loquat paste and loquat dew is very simple, that is, you need to peel and core the loquat fruit, put it in a clean pot, and then, give her the peeled pulp, take it to the stove to fry sugar, and boil it over low heat.
The work of peeling and peeling the core will be handed over to Sanya and Luo.
Xu Zhang's called Yuan's who was picking dung in the garden to help, and asked her to continue picking after peeling it......
Today, the slap mark on Sanya's face Zi Yuanshi said that she beat it, and Xu Zhang's did not have a seizure. After waiting for lunch, Xu Zhang saw Erlang carrying his baggage alone and running in the direction of the neighboring village...... When Xu Zhang returned to the house, he asked Yuan to pick up dung.
Peeling fruit is a meticulous job, and Xu Zhang's also joined in, and everyone peeled it together.
At first, she stared at Luo Zhi and didn't let her eat it secretly, but if Luo Zhi didn't stare at it, she could subconsciously feed the pulp to her mouth.
Later, I didn't bother to care about her.
Two large baskets of fruits, dozens of pounds in size, and so small, have to be peeled and pitted, peeled out one by one, and their hands can be peeled soft.
Later, Xu Laosi and they are still picking, and they will continue to send the fruit back, Luo can eat it again, and she can eat a lot of it, and she can eat numb in her mouth.
Erya gave Xu Jiaojiao a hand in the kitchen and did some preparations.
Wash the peeled loquat meat with the spring water reserved at home, and then mash the loquat meat with a large wooden pot and spatula until it is in a state of juice.
Xu Jiaojiao has a lot of strength, and she will do the work of pounding.
Then, put the loquat meat into the fine-eyed gauze prepared by Erya, wrap it, wrap it tightly, and the two of them work together to squeeze out the loquat juice by hand.
At this time, the loquat juice was poured into the iron pot, and the second Ya skillfully made firewood, and under Xu Jiaojiao's instructions, began to cook the loquat juice.
Slowly bring to a slight boil.
The more you look at Erya, the more amazing it is, the loquat juice is slightly yellow like tea vinegar, and it smells like a sour and astringent taste, the more you cook, the stronger the taste.
The Roche outside the kitchen were all curious, and they poked their heads in to take a look.
"Auntie, how long does it take to cook like this?"
"It won't take long, just boil for about half an hour, and pay attention to the white suspended matter floating in the pot...... It's to get rid of impurities......"
"Okay!"
Sure enough, after boiling for a while, some white suspended matter impurities floated in the pot, and Xu Jiaojiao kept scooping.
After about half an hour, the white impurities gradually disappeared.
The color of the loquat juice in the pot became brighter and brighter, and Xu Jiaojiao began to add sugar to the pot.
Continue to simmer slowly.
At this time, the sour and astringent taste of wild loquat is basically invisible, and it is a fragrant sweet and sour smell.
……
In the process of her boiling, Xu Laosi sent back two large baskets of wild fruits.
Xu Jiaojiao asked Erya to be responsible for picking.
The biggest, the sweetest, and the best-looking fruits have been picked out, and they will be sold directly tomorrow for freshness.
The second today peeled off the loquat paste and loquat dew.
And then store it up and talk about it tomorrow.
Outside, Xu Zhang's Luo clan, and Yuan's family kept peeling the pulp, and Xu Jiaojiao kept boiling it with Erya......
The first batch of loquat paste was finally finished and boiled out of the pot.
Xu Jiaojiao asked Erya to move all the bamboo tubes to the stove, and these were cleaned with spring water in advance.
Then, the loquat paste boiled into a pot was packed into a bamboo tube one by one.
While doing it, I demonstrated to Erya, "Each bamboo tube is loaded to seven or eight points full, and then, when it is cold, it is sealed with ** leaves, put it in a cool and clean place, pile it up, and you can sell it tomorrow, this is loquat paste." ”
Erya said again and again, "Zhong, auntie, I can save it, let me pretend, it's hot!" ”
Xu Jiaojiao was sweating all over, so she handed it over to her.
I picked a bamboo tube loquat and took it out for Xu Zhang's to taste.
"Mother, the loquat paste is boiled, you can try it, do you like this taste?"
Xu Zhang washed his hands and gathered around him with joy.
The old lady tossed the fruits of an afternoon's labor, and she was also very much looking forward to what this loquat paste of Laoshzi tasted like.
Loquat fruits are nothing, they are all picked for free, don't be blind with so much good sugar.
excitedly took the bamboo tube from Xu Jiaojiao's hand and looked at it, and her eyes lit up.
The clear green bamboo tube is filled with a yellow-brown transparent paste, which looks very comfortable, and then smells a sweet and sour taste, which makes people feel refreshed.
Just look at this! Xu Zhang's heart was much more stable.
She then used the chopsticks handed to her by Xu Jiaojiao to pick out a trace of loquat paste, the paste was lacking, thick but not thick.
Xu Zhang's is a rural woman, although she has not survived such a foreign thing as loquat ointment, but she is well-informed and has a good understanding of the class!
