40. Start with a mouth

Song Lingxue saw that Liu's harmony noodles were fine for the time being, and it was not too late to make lunch later, so she told Liu about pickling fruits.

Liu Shi was a little surprised and said: "Mother, brown sugar is expensive, what did you buy a big bag of pickled sour heads!" ”

Song Lingxue also knew that she was distressed, the most important thing was that this sour head was a wild fruit that even pigs didn't like to eat, except for the greedy children in the village, who were not afraid of sourness, even the poor ones who couldn't open the pot didn't pick and eat.

As a local, Liu naturally doesn't know that this sour head is out in seconds, and it is naturally sour and astringent when eaten raw, but when it is perfectly combined with sugar water, it will have a different reaction and become delicious.

"I just saw that the candied fruit in the shop was delicious, and it was sold expensive, and I wanted to buy it for the children but had no money, so I bought some brown sugar, and when I came back, we tried to pickle it ourselves, so that the children could have a snack to eat." Song Lingxue didn't explain so much to Liu, what would happen to this kind of sour head after pickling, she couldn't explain it clearly, and when it was done, Liu would naturally know.

Song Lingxue went back to her grandmother's house when she was a child, and when she was a child, there was never a shortage of candied fruits and other snacks at home, which were made by her grandmother herself, and she also taught her how to do it, but when she grew up, she never did it again, but the experience still exists in the depths of memory, which cannot be forgotten.

"Mother, the children in our family who eat three meals a day are already happier than other children in the village, and you still give them snacks from time to time, they will be spoiled." Liu was very touched that her mother-in-law thought about the children, but she felt that it was a waste of money.

Song Lingxue was very speechless, some things here, giving the children snacks is spoiled? At least they are all natural, pollution-free and additive-free snacks, which are much stronger than the junk food that children eat at a very young age in later generations.

"The sour fruit is ready, if the children think it is delicious, then our family also has one more input?" Song Lingxue said with a smile, and sure enough, Liu Shi heard her words with a little joy on her face, and continued: "Mother knows that you are very talented in making food, and I also accidentally learned what others said about how to pickle this fruit, don't tell outsiders, this can't make a lot of money, if others know and follow suit, how can our family sell it for money." ”

Liu quickly shook his head and said no, and then asked Song Lingxue what to do.

Song Lingxue carefully recalled the steps, and then told the Liu family, the method is very simple, but no one knew it before.

The more Liu listened, the stronger the smile on his face became, but he said happily and sadly at the end: "Mother, this method is so simple, it must be delicious to make after listening to what you say, but why do you have to scrub it with salt, it's not a waste, sweet roots and grass are easy to find, and there are a lot of them in the mountains and fields." ”

"The salt step is indispensable, you have to rub it finely." Song Lingxue hurriedly said: "Don't worry about feeling distressed, you think that the fruit is picked casually on the mountain and doesn't cost money, let's just use something to process it, it's delicious and can be sold for money, I can ask, the cheapest preserved fruit in the shop in the town also costs 300 yuan a catty." ”

"So expensive?" Liu asked in surprise, she had been to the town twice since she was a child, and she had never entered the fruit shop, so naturally she didn't know the price, and when she saw her mother-in-law nodding after asking, she said happily: "Then let's start." ”

Although he contracted the work of the stove at home, Liu didn't envy his second brother and daughter-in-law for making money by embroidery, but unfortunately she didn't know anything, and now she has won the appreciation of her mother-in-law and let her pickle the fruit, how good it would be if she could make money.

Song Lingxue also smiled when she saw Liu's immediately energetic appearance, it seems that this is a man of action, just do what she says, it's very good, she nodded with satisfaction.

Without Song Lingxue's instructions, Liu went to the grass shed outside, brought in the basket of sour heads, and according to what Song Lingxue said, began to clean up the broken roots on the sour heads, Song Lingxue wanted to help but was stopped by Liu.

"Mother, it's hot here, you sit outside in the grass shed and rest for a while, I'll deal with this little thing in a while, and I can't remember which step later, I'll ask you again." Liu said that the movements in his hands were very fast, one after a while, and put the cleaned sour heads in the wooden bucket that fetched water on the side.

Song Lingxue saw her like that, and she really couldn't intervene, so she went out of the stove room and went to the courtyard.

Looking at the small yard of Yao's house, although the growth is not good because of the drought, the neat vegetable patch, as well as the pigsty spread with hay and the straw shed that is full and nesting under the pigsty to sleep.

There is also a half-pulled grass shed in the east corner, and below it is an empty chicken coop and a row of neatly arranged farm tools, and the apricot tree in the west corner, although it is still a very simple farm yard, but everything seems so orderly.

Song Lingxue only found out at this time that on the surface, she wanted to find a way to help the Yao family get rich, but in fact, she was just using her lips, and Shi Lan took the He family to do the hair flower, so she didn't have to worry about it at all.

And the idea of pickling fruits that she suddenly came up with was also implemented by Liu, and Liu's cooking level is not impossible to open a small restaurant, and she can actually pickle vegetables and marinate meat, and she can do everything properly in the stove.

There are also a few children, in addition to the twin sisters who are too young, the little girl Yao Shiyu used to be a little eccentric and playful and naughty, but that was the original owner would not coax, just shouting but more aroused the child's rebellious heart, and Song Lingxue found that this Shiyu is a very good coax, a few sugar horns can make her no longer go out and run crazy to play and make trouble, but obediently take her nephew and niece to cut pigweed, today Song Lingxue promised to make sugar gnocchi, sure enough, Shiyu, this little girl is so motivated, The sour head came back with a basket on his back.

Song Lingxue took a deep breath, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, she was quite relaxed, she had a mouth at the beginning, and she relied on others to assist in the back, isn't this just like her previous job, she only needs to produce a copywriter who can make money, and then the company's people have a clear division of labor to implement it, and in the end everyone makes money.

Song Lingxue sat happily on the bamboo chair under the grass shed, closed her eyes slightly, fanned the wind with a pu fan, and beautifully built the grand cause of the road to prosperity in her mind, and then her thoughts were interrupted by a rush of footsteps and shouting.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a figure running over in a panic, it was a black and thin girl, wearing a blue and white flower dress, about eleven or twelve years old, Song Lingxue recognized that this was Yingzi, the daughter of Aunt Liu's family.
