Volume 1 Chapter 20 Hawthorn Picking
"Little sister, what should we do with these herbs and sour fruits?" Qiao Song didn't know how to deal with the herbs, this part must be handed over to the little sister to deal with by herself, as for this sour fruit, it was picked back, and the specific thing to do was not made clear by the little sister, and he didn't know how to dispose of them.
"Big brother, I'll deal with the herbs, you don't understand, you can help with this sour fruit. Dig out all the seeds in these sour fruits and make a demonstration for you. The premise is that the sour fruit must be washed first. Qiao Xi picked up a sour fruit and gave a demonstration to Qiao Song and Qiao Bai.
"Okay, got it." It's not very hard to watch.
"Little brother, you go and prepare the container, and I'll clean these sour fruits." Put the basket back on your back and prepare to wash it by the river.
"Big brother, just wash it with the water in the water tank at home, and pick it up when you run out." Qiao Xi stopped the eldest brother who was about to go out in time. Although there are few people who go out in winter, there will still be them, and it is inevitable that they will say something when they meet, and if they see these sour fruits, they may not know what to say, and it is tiring to hear. It's better to be at home, run a few more times, and pick up more water.
"It's close, I'll be back in a moment." Qiao Song was ready to continue going out.
"If Big Brother runs into someone, how do you explain these sour fruits?" She is not familiar with the people in Qiaojia Village, and she doesn't know what their temperament is? It's not that she wants to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, isn't there no human-faced beast heart? Now the three of them are just children, if there is really unpleasantness, the people in Qiaojia Village will not help them, and the outsiders are always outsiders. People are good at being bullied, horses are good at being ridden, if you don't provoke me, I won't provoke you, if you provoke me, then I won't let you have a good time.
"I'm stupid when you're a big brother. Could it be that you are smart in our family. Qiao Song was really a little crying and laughing, could it be that in the eyes of his little sister, except for being able to study, he would achieve nothing. In this way, he is too unsuccessful to be a man.
"That's not what I meant. We're all smart. "It's not that she blows, the eldest brother and the younger brother are original, and being so smart can only be said to be genetically good, and she is also a different number, she is devoted to the memory of her previous life, and there are many different things than them, if she really compares with them, it will only be herself.
"It's getting late, so hurry up and get everything done. I'll be back soon. ”
"Sister, you just worry about it, the eldest brother is older than us, and he still doesn't understand." After Qiao Bai said a word, he patted his fart/stock and left, and went to prepare a clean container.
Qiao Xi's whole person suddenly came to her senses, yes, she is doing this because she always has memories of her past life, her brother often deals with students and masters, how can she not understand this, she is a little stunned.
When he came back to his senses, Qiao Bai was long gone, his eyes widened and his mouth was closed, and he lowered his head and began to process the herbs.
Because it was freshly picked herbs, Qiao Xi sorted them out by category, and then found a few sieves to spread those herbs on them, bask in the sun for a few days, and make the herbs dry, hoping to sell them at a high price.
Freshly picked herbs are sold at the pharmacy, and the price will be greatly discounted.
The three brothers and sisters performed their own duties, and after Qiao Xi dealt with those herbs, he began to follow the two Qiao Song brothers to remove the seeds. It took a lot of effort for the three of them to clean up the hawthorns on their backs.
After making all this time, Qiao Xi asked her eldest brother to pour the processed hawthorn into the pot, add water and sugar, and start to boil.
Thankfully, she bought candy last time, otherwise she wouldn't have thought about making hawthorn cake today.
"Little sister, what are you doing here?" It's not good if the sour fruit is directly eaten, why is it water and sugar, how expensive is this sugar, the little sister is really willing to give up, and most of it went as soon as it was released.
"Boil it into a sauce, put it in a container and let it cool, then cut it into pieces with a knife, eat it, and sell it as a snack in town." Qiao Xi crushed the hawthorn as he spoke, until it formed a sauce shape that stuck to the shovel, and the whole production process was completed.
Put the hawthorn paste in a container, flatten it, set it aside to cool, and it should be ready to form tomorrow.
Hawthorn is rich in pectin, and you can make a cake by yourself without adding other ingredients.
After getting these hawthorns, Qiao Xi began to cook today's dinner, the fish she caught before, she directly made the braised ones, plus the mushrooms and fungus picked in the mountains, the dinner was still very rich.
"Big brother, let's go to town tomorrow." This time, she has bean sprouts, fish, and hawthorn in her hands, and as for the herbs, she still has to wait for a little more accumulation before taking them to the pharmacy to sell them.
"Okay." After so many days, Zhusun has also accumulated a lot, and he estimated that it was about five catties.
Now he can collect more than half a catty of bamboo sunflower every day, which is not wet, but dry.
"I'm not going, housekeeping." He actually wanted to go too, and he couldn't do it if there was no one at home.
"Go, go." The valuable things in the house are in her storage ring, and the others are worthless, just some necessities of life.
"Listen to your sister." Qiao Song simply doesn't care about it now, his housekeeper or the little sister housekeeper is for everyone's good, why bother to be persistent.
The next day, after Qiao Bai got up, he couldn't wait to see the hawthorn cake made yesterday, which had already formed a cake shape.
Qiao Xi cut all the hawthorn cakes into small pieces.
"How about a taste?" Qiao Xi cut a piece and handed it to the younger brother.
Qiao Bai chewed carefully, and a sweet and sour taste hit the taste buds, making people a little craving, "It's delicious, it's delicious." "I didn't expect the sour fruit made by that sour fruit to be so delicious, and I didn't feel that it was a sour fruit at all.
"Give the big brother that piece, let him taste it too." The person who saw it had a share, that is, she threw a small piece into her mouth, sour, sweet, I haven't eaten it for a long time, I miss the snacks of the Celestial Empire.
Qiao Bai took the hawthorn cake fart and found Qiao Song, "Big brother, here you go." ”
Qiao Song looked at it, didn't ask and stuffed it directly into his mouth, and tasted it carefully, it was really as the little sister said, sweet and sour and appetizing, and it was quite smooth and greasy in the mouth, it was really good.
"Is it delicious?" Qiao Bai stared at the eldest brother with wide eyes, not letting go of the expression on his face.
"It's delicious."
"I think so too." I really want to eat it, but unfortunately those sour fruit cakes are to be sold for money, so I can't eat more.
"Let's go, let's have breakfast, we're done and we'll be able to go to town early." He had already packed up all the soybean sprouts and bamboo sunflowers, and they were ready to set off when they were all done with the sour fruit cake on Xiaomei's side.
Thinking that I can make money again, I feel happy in my heart. is at a loss until now, and the slow accumulation makes him feel that this day is a rush.
After seeing too much of his sister's performance, he can rest assured that he can go to the academy in the spring, at least he doesn't have to worry about it, he has been worried.
He should also work hard to live up to his little sister's expectations
