Chapter 379: Acquisition of Tomatoes
Ruoshui couldn't help but smile, raised her eyes and quietly glanced at Sun Xiaoyue.
In fact, she sometimes really envies Sun Xiaoyue.
Although Sun Xiaoyue is a bit stupid and can't do many things, she has a harmonious family and grew up under the care of her family since she was a child.
That's why he is so lively and cute, innocent and carefree.
Unlike the children who grew up in the Liu family's old house, their eyes were full of trepidation and fear of the world.
The vegetables in the vegetable garden are growing well, and the row of tomatoes that have not been picked for a long time is full of red fruits.
When the workers are done, if the water is idle, they take the bamboo basket and go to the vegetable garden to pick tomatoes.
This year's tomato harvest was a bumper harvest, and she picked all the tomatoes she could pick and filled a bamboo basket full of them.
Qi Zhuang carried the tomato to the door of the cave.
"We're afraid we won't be able to eat all the tomatoes." Qi Zhuang said.
Ruoshui thought for a moment, and suddenly something came to mind.
"Husband, we can make tomatoes into city tomato sauce! Keep it in a jar and be able to store it for a long time. In the winter, we also have ketchup to eat! ”
"And the ketchup can be added to the finger cake. Creates a sweet and sour taste. If you don't like fish and shrimp paste, use tomato sauce instead. ”
Say action, do it.
Qi Zhuang carried the tomatoes to the side of the stream to clean them first, and then dried them dry.
Boil a large pot of boiling water, put the tomatoes in it and blanch them slightly, then quickly remove them and throw them into cold water.
In this way, after making two cuts on the body of the tomato with a knife, the skin of the tomato is well peeled off.
Cut the peeled tomatoes into small pieces, throw them into a large clean iron pot, add some water and sugar, and slowly simmer over low heat.
After simmering for an hour or two, the tomatoes are completely boiled into a sauce.
Bright red tomato sauce, sweet and sour.
When the ketchup is cool, put them in jars and store them in a cool, dry place.
To test the success of the ketchup, Wakasui made a finger cake and ate it with ketchup.
"That's right, that's what it tastes like! I remember! What a success! Husband, in the future, we will make more ketchup, and we can sell it for money! ”
When it comes to money, Ruoshui is extremely excited.
Qi Zhuang silently looked at his daughter-in-law's appearance as a little wealth fan, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her little head.
"Okay, let's make a lot of money together."
"Husband, let's go to the villagers tomorrow to buy some tomatoes, make some tomato paste, and store them. One is to make finger cakes, and the other is to sell them in the winter when everyone doesn't have tomatoes. This makes a lot of money again! ”
Qi Zhuang nodded, "Well, I'll go chop bamboo, weave a few more bamboo baskets today, and use them to hold tomatoes tomorrow." ”
Today, Qi Zhuang worked overtime to weave more than a dozen bamboo baskets.
Ruoshui guessed that he would be able to buy at most five or six baskets of tomatoes in Gushan Village tomorrow, and he wouldn't need so many bamboo baskets at all.
You can put the rest away and keep it back when you need it later.
When the time came to evening, Ruoshui made six or seven more finger cakes, some with fish and shrimp paste, some with tomato sauce, and then wrapped them in taro leaves and put them in bamboo baskets. Carrying a bamboo basket, he walked to the edge of the stream.
"Husband, you wait for me at home, I'll catch worms for the chickens!"
"Well, be careful."
Ruoshui carried the basket and ran to the edge of the stream as fast as she could, and now she couldn't wait for her mother and younger siblings to eat the hot finger cakes she had just made.
