Chapter 44: Jam, Fruit Fishing
Ran Wenyue also cut the ripe plums she had selected into pieces, and then she put all the fruits in the water and chilled them.
"After it's chilled, you can take it out and eat it, now I'll go cook some jam first, and you can help me light the fire, big cousin." After Ran Wenyue finished speaking, she entered the stove house with a small pot of fruit, and Chu Tian followed.
Ran Wenyue cleaned the pot, poured the pre-cut peaches into the pot, and then spread a layer of honey on top, and the fire at the bottom of the pot was already burning.
Chu Tian looked at her series of operations and asked curiously, "Sister Yueyue, what are you going to do!?" ”
"This is to make jam, big cousin, you burn the fire a little hotter." Ran Wenyue kept stirring with a rice spoon in her hand as she spoke, and there was already a lot of moisture in the pot, all of which were the moisture of the peaches themselves, and a strong smell of peaches also floated out.
Chu Tian smelled the smell of peaches, took a deep breath, and his entire nasal cavity was filled with the fragrance of peaches, "It's so fragrant!" When it's ready, I'll decorate it, and I'll take it back to the private school for the students to taste. ”
Seeing that Chu Tian picked up a large piece of firewood and was about to stuff it into the stove, Ran Wenyue hurriedly stopped it. "Big cousin, there's no need to add firewood, now the fire should be smaller. When it's done, I'll bring you more, and you can go back and help me promote it more. ”
"Okay." Chu Tian responded and put back the large piece of firewood in his hand, replaced it with a few thin branches, and put it in.
The low heat boiled slowly, the pot was bubbling, and Ran Wenyue kept stirring in her hand for a moment.
While boiling and stirring, the water level in the pot dropped significantly, and the color deepened.
Ran Wenyue shook her arm, changed her hand and continued to stir, and after another half an hour, the jam came out, it was very bright, and she still had to keep stirring, and when she felt that the stirring was a little difficult, Ran Wenyue exhaled a long breath. "It's finally okay, big cousin, don't burn the fire first."
Chu Tian extinguished the fire in the stove a little, and Ran Wenyue took out a clean jar and filled the peach jam, "After it cools, you can put it away." ”
After washing the pot and starting to make other jams, the two cooperated tacitly, took turns to fight, and soon boiled all the jams. If I hadn't bought some jars in the market before, I might have had to take these jams in bowls now.
Ran Wenbo and Ran Wenxing had already smelled it, but because the kitchen was too small, they didn't go in. Now seeing Ran Wenyue take out the jam, the two of them immediately surrounded it, looking at the good-colored jam in the jar, smelling the sweet taste, their saliva was about to flow out.
"Sister, it's so fragrant! Is it ready to eat? ”
Ran Wenyue looked at her younger brothers who looked like two little gluttonous cats funny, she took a bowl and made two bowls of fruit, and filled two large bowls. "To you."
Ran Wenxing looked at the fruit in his hand, squinted with a smile, took a bite, and ran to Chu Xiumei's room with the bowl, "Mother, mother, give you something delicious!" ”
"Mother, mine is also for you to eat." Ran Wenbo is not far behind.
Seeing the two little guys running away, Ran Wenyue made a few more servings, put them in a bamboo basket, and took a small jar of jam for each flavor. "Big cousin, go, give these to grandma, uncle and aunt, they will take them back to taste."
"Okay." Chu Tian said happily.
They were about to leave, when Ran Wenyue saw the mushrooms and fungus drying on the shelf on the side, patted her head and said, "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot to get some mushrooms and fungus for you." Big cousin, you wait for me first. ”
After saying that, Ran Wenyue turned around and went back to the house, took a bag out, filled it with some mushrooms and fungus, and put it in the bamboo basket in Chu Tian's hand. "Alright, let's go."
"Mother, I'll send some to my grandmother." Ran Wenyue greeted Chu Xiumei and followed Chu Tian into the village.
At sunset, the countryside dwells in the afterglow of the sunset, a piece of beauty, quiet and leisurely.
"Grandma, I've brought you something to eat." As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw the grandmother of the Chu family sitting on a wicker chair and picking vegetables with my aunt.
"Yueyue is here, what kind of delicious food are you sending me?!" The grandmother of the Chu family said with a smile.
Ran Wenyue raised her hand, "There are a lot of fruits at home, I made some fruit scoop and jam, and brought them to you to taste." ”
The eldest aunt also smiled and said, "This is a new thing, I have never heard of it, so we have to try it." ”
Chu Tian looked at his mother and raised his hand. "Mother, there are mushrooms and fungus here."
After entering the courtyard, Ran Wenyue put the bamboo basket in her hand on the stone table, and then took out a few large bowls containing fruit from inside. "This is fruit fishing, grandmother, auntie, you can taste it."
"Yo, that's weirdly pretty! It's the first time I've ever eaten fruit like this. Yueyue girl, what do you say your brain thinks? The eldest aunt looked at the fruit in her hand and praised in surprise.
Ran Wenyue just smiled and didn't speak, and then took out other things from the bamboo basket.
Several children of the Chu family watched curiously as Ran Wenyue took out the jars from the bamboo basket one by one.
"Sister Yueyue, what are you getting for us! It smells so good! ”
"It's jam." After speaking, he introduced them one by one, and after the introduction, he said: "As for how to make the eldest cousin, I know, if you don't know, you can ask him, and I'll go back first." ”
