Chapter 46: Snooping

There were only three of them in the kitchen, Jixiang and Aunt Li, who were all instructed by the Yang family to do something else, and Lao Zhong carefully plugged in the kitchen door.

Lao Zhong really wants to make money with this, and it is best to help his cheap father make a fortune.

Water, sugar, salt were ready, and even some more apricots were washed.

It's all good material, how bad can it be no matter how bad it is? It's just that there are no additives, and the seal here is general, and the shelf life will definitely be shortened. It can be shortened and has a much longer shelf life than fresh fruit.

Since the steps are simple, it really doesn't need Zhong Xiaohe to do it.

Fortunately, I didn't get started, Miss Zhong is in the kitchen, and she is really a person with low eyes.

Where can she burn an earthen stove, and she is also stupid and stumbling in her work, but fortunately, among the three, Lao Zhong is a good hand in the kitchen, Yang's family, and she is still qualified to burn fire.

Zhong Xiaohe, just move your mouth.

……

Soak in salt water, boil in sugar water, boil and remove the pit, and it is almost the finished product, only the last air drying or roasting is left. The easiest way is naturally to air dry and expose to the sun, only so the hue of the dried apricots is not good, and in the end it is dried, and the hue is more beautiful.

The three of them each twisted one and put it in their mouths to chew, and after eating one, Lao Zhong couldn't help but pick up another one.

Even though it was wet, it was delicious. In particular, the sweet and sour taste is the best, and the only sweet taste is inferior.

"To make dried apricots, you should choose the kind that is not very ripe, it will be better."

"Yes, yes, that's better." Yang also pinched two more, if it wasn't really too much, she would have to eat a few more.

Lao Zhong nodded, just looked at the remaining sugar water in the pot, and said that it was a pity. If you cook a lot of apricots, the cost of sugar will also be reduced.

"Don't feel sorry for this sugar, the effect of sugar is not only to increase sweetness, the important thing is that the sugar is added enough, so that it has a preservative effect."

Lao Zhong nodded, which he could understand.

He asked with anticipation: "Girl, what else can you do with this?" Is Shaguo okay? And pears, peaches, hawthorns or something? ”

Zhong Xiaohe frowned and thought about it, shook his head and said: "I've heard that dried sand fruits, dried hawthorns, pears are afraid that they can't work, I haven't heard of them, but there are preserved peaches, which are more delicious, anyway, I love to eat preserved peaches, but they are more troublesome to make than preserved apricots, and they have to be cooked several times." ”

"Okay, well, the apricots are gone, the peaches are just coming down, and the peaches are much longer than the apricots."

Well...... Take the apricots first.

The girl is amazing,

Looking at the girl who was excited and a little proud, Lao Zhong suddenly had an idea, perhaps, the girl is over there, and she may not have to live a lot of hardship, she has eaten such expensive things.

Bah, bah, baba, ......, what if you have eaten delicious food, children who have no father and no mother to take care of, no matter how delicious they are, they are bitter.

Sister-in-law Geng came to the door of the Zhong family with a basket, and it was time to prepare dinner for the old Zhong family.

Suddenly, she paused, and at some point the tip of her nose was filled with a rich sweet smell, she closed her eyes, her nose twitched, and she sniffed greedily again, well, the smell of sugar water, yes, it is sweeter than sugar water.

He sniffled vigorously against the crack in the door.

The smell came from the courtyard of the Zhong family, and the mouth couldn't help but secrete a lot of saliva.

At this time, when she went in, with the soft face of the master's house, she must share some to eat, and if she could take some away, it would be better for her little grandchildren to taste it.

She rolled her eyes and hurriedly raised her hand to tap the door.

After waiting for a few breaths, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the door, "Who?" ”

It was the old man's slow question.

"I, Geng." Sister-in-law Geng is a little anxious, she comes at this time every day, and the old money is really knowingly asked.

"Wait a minute."

But after waiting for a while, the old man still didn't come to open the door.

"Old man, why don't you open the door yet, no matter how late it is, you will miss the time of the master's dinner." Geng was a little anxious.

Only at this time, there was no response from the old man.

When Sister-in-law Geng knocked on the door, she heard it in the kitchen, but fortunately, the production of dried apricots has been basically completed, but the kitchen has not yet been cleaned up.

Lao Zhong said: "Hurry up and clean up." After saying that, he took a dry cage cloth and put it on the curtain full of dried apricots.

Over there, Yang understood in seconds, and quickly picked it up, and brought a clay pot by the way, which was to scoop the sugar water in the pot.

Because it's basically over, Lao Zhong didn't remind Lao Qian to watch the door, anyway, he didn't clean up, and at home, at most, the kitchen didn't open the door.

It's an old money man who has a heart.

Although the main family did not have a special explanation, the kitchen door could be locked, and the family was holding back and tinkering inside, even the Li family and Jixiang were gone, and the gods were mysteriously tinkering for a long time, especially the strange sweet smell came from inside.

As an old cabbage gang, the old man is not living in vain at such an age, and he still has eyesight, and the master must not want others to know, and his own people must be taken away first, not to mention outsiders.

Ignore the sound of Geng's call outside the door, and just wait for the master's house to come out.

After a while, the main family of three came out, still carefully holding a curtain covered with a cage cloth and a clay pot in their hands.

The old money man said secretly, there is really a problem, otherwise why would he be so strict and practical?

When Lao Zhong went out of the kitchen door, he knew what was going on, and gave Lao Qiantou a satisfied expression, so he carefully took things into the second door.

Being able to think about what the master thinks and get affirmation, the old man is a little proud in his heart. Slowly, I went to open the door to the outsider Geng's family.

Geng hurriedly walked into the hospital, counting the old money with an unhappy face, while looking around.

"Old man, you are grinding, when you delay the meal, you will provoke the monster of the lord's family, you have to bear it."

I didn't see anything special in the door, so I lifted my feet and walked to the kitchen.

"Snort." If you break the Lord's family affairs, you will really blame him.

The sweet taste in the kitchen is stronger, but I haven't seen anything to eat, Geng's disappointment, full of plans to be sweet.

However, there are indeed obvious signs of movement in the kitchen, so there must be food to eat, but it is just taken away.

Geng leaned out of the door and asked tentatively, "Old Qiantou, what did someone do in the kitchen?" ”

"I don't know, the master just agrees, you have a lot of care, hurry up and get busy with you." What do you have to say to outsiders?

Geng didn't get any information about the old man, so he had to take a closer look in the kitchen, after all, it was her one-third of an acre, and she quickly saw the problem.

There is a lot less salt in the usual use, two less curtains, and a clay pot. It's so sweet, the sugar must have been used. Whether it was brown sugar or white sugar was used, she wasn't sure, both of these things were expensive, and they weren't put in the kitchen, but they looked like white sugar.

What kind of good things the Lord has made, sugar and salt are not cheap.

Sister-in-law Geng's heart is itching, and she has to endure it. Secretly, if there is anything delicious in the normal situation, most of the time the host will also give a reward. The main family is better like this, not stingy. Thinking of this, I simply put down my mind and prepared dinner, looking forward to the reward as soon as possible.
