Chapter 100 Loquat and Peach in Syrup
At the end of the family's farming, the cherries on the mountain are ripe. Zhao Yunlan looked at the cherry trees, full of small red fruits, and invited Wu Yi to come and pick them together.
At the beginning, most of the fruit trees that the shopkeeper Wu helped to find, mainly peach trees, only a few cherry trees and loquat trees, at this time, peaches will have to wait for a while to pick, the loquat fruit is yellow and clear like a small lantern, Zhao Yunlan picked it and tasted it, thinking that if she bathed in the sun for a few more days, the taste would be better.
Zhao Yunlan picked all the cherries and divided them into points, Mrs. Wang liked it very much, and thought about going to the mountains to pick them together next time. When Wu Yi came to pick, he took a lot of them home, and Zhao Yunlan didn't make a second trip. Zhao Yunlan returned to Zhao's house with a basket of cherries and some things to be used for production, estimating that Huang Yuhua should produce next month.
As soon as Zhao Yunlan entered the gate of Zhao's house, she saw Huang Yuhua walking in the small courtyard, Huang Yuhua: "Eldest sister, you are back, you have brought a lot of things back!" As he spoke, he wanted to help Zhao Yunlan take it.
Zhao Yunlan: "Sister-in-law, don't move, I'll do it myself!" ”
Huang Yuhua: "I'm fine, the doctor told me to walk around more!" ”
Zhao Yunlan nodded, Jiang had already come out of the house, watching Zhao Yunlan take home a big bag again, patted Zhao Yunlan's head, and helped Zhao Yunlan take the things and enter the house.
Zhao Yunlan: "Mother, sister-in-law, I picked some cherries for you and came back, let's taste them, the sweet and sour ones are very good!" ”
Several people talked together, and Zhao Yunlan went back to Li's house after eating.
Zhao Yunlan saw that there were several baskets of cherries at home, so she thought about trying to make some cherry fruit wine. I used to make that kind of homemade wine, and I thought that this cherry wine would be similar to what I made, so I tried to make it.
The loquat on the mountain can also be eaten, Zhao Yunlan invited Wu Yi to play again, this time Mrs. Wang also came together, Mrs. Wang is in good health, and picking up the loquat fruit is not slower than Zhao Yunlan. Zhao Yunlan thought that in the modern world, she used to spend money to go to the kind of picking garden to pick, there were many mosquitoes, and the price was expensive, not only the entrance fee, but also the fruits picked had to be bought with their own money, thinking about it, it was to spend money to buy sin. Looking at the fact that he now has a large orchard, and it is pollution-free and natural, under Deng Yong's careful care, the taste of these fruits is not bad, Zhao Yunlan feels a sense of accomplishment.
In the past few days, Old Man Li happened to have some coughs, so Zhao Yunlan picked some more and went back to cook loquat fruits in rock sugar water and let Old Man Li eat some every day.
Zhao Yunlan kept a part of the loquat fruit at home, and sold the rest to Renhetang, who also set next year's loquat fruit with Zhao Yunlan. Zhao Yunlan planned to plant a few loquat trees, so that Deng Yong had time to find out.
The fruits on the mountain are surprising, and the peppers under the mountain also make Zhao Yunlan happy. Each pepper seedling was full of pepper fruits, and Mrs. Liu brought Mrs. Wang to see it, and the two were overjoyed. Zhao Yunlan picked some ripe peppers and went back to make a few dishes, and invited Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang to have a light meal at Li's house, the hotter the weather, Mrs. Wang always has a bad appetite, today with this pepper to cook, Mrs. Wang eats more than usual, and eats a bowl of loquat in sugar water after the meal. When Mrs. Liu left with Mrs. Wang, Zhao Yunlan loaded two baskets for the two, one basket was filled with peaches and the other basket was filled with peppers.
Some of the peaches that grow on the top of the tree are already pink, and they taste sweet and sweet, there are too many peaches on the mountain, Zhao Yunlan picked some and sent them to the Zhao family, the Wu family in the town, the small courtyard of the Liu family also sent some, and the blind date with a better relationship in the village also sent peaches, and even several baskets of peaches were placed in the shop in the town to sell, but the peaches on the tree were still ripe.
Zhao Yunlan remembered the sugar water loquat made for Old Man Li last time, and patted her head, hey~ Isn't this similar to modern canned food! Zhao Yunlan hurriedly went to order some jars and came back, and first made some canned peaches in sugar water for the Li family to taste, and the Li family unanimously agreed, so they began to make them in large quantities.
Zhao Yunlan thought about changing to a larger shop, and the money in the public school was enough, so she bought a shop in the town, and bought it together with the previous purchase of a small courtyard. Zhao Yunlan also recruited a bookkeeper and a junior second, and the little brother of the Wang family before was still in Li Ji Hot and Sour Noodles, after all, it was stable here, and Li Mingyi was not a harsh owner.
Now there are three people in the store to help Li Mingyi, Li Mingyi is also a lot easier, and Li Ji's hot and sour noodles business is getting better and better.
Lijia Village is now living a smooth life, everyone is also a person who remembers the kindness, the previous sweet potato noodles, the villagers of Lijia Village will sell them to Li Ji hot and sour noodles, everyone is silently united, and they do not think about harming the interests of the Li family.
Now Li Ji hot and sour noodles also sell canned peaches in syrup, which is quite popular with women and children, and Zhao Yunlan has hired some people to help make canned peaches in syrup.
Now everyone in the village knows that they have to sign a contract to work on Zhao Yunlan's side, and everyone will not care that Zhao Yunlan doesn't trust them, after all, Zhao Yunlan's salary is sufficient. Of course, it doesn't mean that you don't trust these villagers, it's just that you have to guard against people.
Li Ji hot and sour noodles once again made a name for themselves in Qingshui Town through this canned peach in sugar water, and Mrs. Liu also liked this canned food, and Zhao Yunlan used these cans to give Li Mingren a few opportunities to make up classes before the exam.
Old lady Liu promised to give Li Mingren three lessons, how much he can learn depends on Li Mingren's own ability, Li Mingren cherishes this opportunity very much, Zhao Yunlan thinks that he has done everything he can do, and whether he takes the test or not depends on Li Mingren's own creation.
While Li Mingren went to the small courtyard of the Liu family to harvest knowledge, Zhao Yunlan was also busy harvesting peppers. Chen County Ling sent people from the county government to help Zhao Yunlan pick peppers together. Zhao Yunlan arranged to pick the red peppers on the top of the county ya. After a while, they picked all the red peppers, and filled a total of three back baskets. Zhao Yunlan followed it to the county, and the Liu prefect knew that he was going to harvest peppers today, so he rushed to the county office of Xihe County after handling official business.
Zhao Yunlan sent the peppers, looked at the Liu Governor's Mansion and Chen County Commander standing together, and came up to salute: "I have seen Liu Governor's Mansion, Chen County Order, this is the red pepper picked today, please take a look at the two adults!" ”
Liu Zhifu picked up the pepper and smelled it, the red pepper was more choking than the green one, and Liu Zhifu said: "How to deal with this pepper?" ”
Zhao Yunlan: "You can take out the seeds inside, dry them, and save them to make seeds." I told Wang Hanchun the specific method, and now he also knows the details of planting peppers. ”
Governor Liu nodded: "Okay, it's hard Zhao Niangzi, the remaining peppers on the mountain, when the time comes, just pick and send them to the county government, that piece of mountain Zhao Niangzi is willing to come and transfer to the name, but the land transaction fee that should be paid still has to be paid to the county government!" ”
Zhao Yunlan thought to herself, she thought she would get that piece of mountain for free! Sure enough, it's not so easy to eat the public's, but it's acceptable to give it directly to yourself.
Governor Liu continued to ask, "I don't know what Zhao Niangzi's plans are for these peppers?" ”
Zhao Yunlan didn't hide it, after all, these peppers were obtained from the Liu family, and said: "I want to keep some of them as seeds, and take out some of them to make dried peppers, so that they can be used as condiments!" ”
Zhao Yunlan saw that Governor Liu didn't speak, and continued: "If the finished product is okay, I will hand over the method to Governor Liu at that time." ”
