Chapter 39: Something Happens
When Lu Mu heard this, she instantly forgot the anger she received from Li Cuiqing in the back of her mind.
The grilled cold noodles made by Xu Lan last time, she still reminisces about it!
She got up from the sofa, ignored Father Lu, and came to the kitchen with Xu Lan.
Xu Lan first extinguished the fire on the gas stove, and the water in the pot stopped boiling, still steaming.
In order to avoid burns, Xu Lan carefully took the finished cans out of the pot with a wet rag.
Although canned food is still delicious when left cold, it can be eaten hot, although the taste will be worse than that of cold food.
Xu Lan took out three cans from the inside, and prepared to share them with Lu's father and Lu's mother.
For the rest of the cans, she tightened the caps and buckled them upside down on the cupboard to allow them to cool naturally.
Mother Lu carried the can, Xu Lan picked the lychee from the space, and the two walked into the living room together.
The three of them sat on the sofa in the living room eating canned food, and now Lu Mu was not angry, and all her attention was shifted to the canned food in her hand.
Lu's mother picked a canned peach, she used chopsticks to take out a piece of peach flesh from it, and looked at the canned food in her hand with surprise in her eyes.
Not to mention anything else, she has actually eaten a lot of this canned food, but this steaming canned food is the first time she has eaten it.
Lu Mu took a bite of the peach flesh with her mouth, although it was hot, it did not affect the deliciousness of this can.
When the canned food is steamed, the sugar water inside is sweet but not greasy, revealing a fragrance.
She gave Xu Lan a thumbs up with the thumbs up with chopsticks, and said all kinds of praise to Xu Lan:
"Delicious!"
"My baby, you're such a genius that you can even make canned food, and this can is so delicious!"
"It's even better than what I bought in the supply and marketing cooperative!"
Mother Lu ate the canned food, her face was full of admiration, and then she put away her thumb and put a large piece of peach in her mouth with chopsticks.
Xu Mo touched his head a little embarrassed when he heard this.
Seeing this, Lu's father also picked up a can curiously, he heard his daughter-in-law say yesterday that Xu Lan, the child, had even learned to cook when he entered the city.
He picked out a can of lychee, and he unscrewed the bottle, took out a lychee pulp from it, and put it in his mouth, and his mouth was full of the sweet taste of lychee.
Father Lu was just about to open his mouth to praise the delicious canned food made by Xu Nan, but when he caught a glimpse of the fresh lychees on the coffee table, he suddenly paused.
It's September, although the lychee season is from March to October.
But the lychees on the plate on the coffee table in front of me are a very common concubine smile in the market, and the concubine smile has been off the market in July.
The season is not right, and the transportation is not convenient.
So where do these lychees come from?
Xu Mu was observing Lu's expression when he unscrewed the can, and seeing that he frowned at this time, she thought that he didn't like to eat lychees, but she just wanted to ask him to try it again.
As a result, Lu's father saw that his eyes stayed on the fresh lychees on the plate on the coffee table.
Xu Lan only felt that it was going to be bad.
She patronized and thought about leaving some fresh lychees for Lu's father and mother to taste, but she ignored that it was not the season to eat lychees at all.
And looking at Father Lu's expression, it was obvious that he was already suspicious.
Xu Mo laughed, and could only say by himself:
"Dad, Mom, you taste this lychee, I bought it from the supply and marketing cooperatives when I went to buy a glass bottle today."
Xu Mo carefully observed the expressions of the two people on the sofa, Lu Mu was a big one on weekdays, and she didn't realize that something was wrong.
And Father Lu also opened his mouth with questions:
"I remember it's not the season to eat lychees, right?"
When Lu Mu heard this, she also looked at it with some doubts.
Xu Nan's nervous palms broke out in a cold sweat.
Suspected!
What can I do?
Xu Lan could only continue to talk nonsense, her mind turned quickly, and then she said to Lu's father and Lu's mother:
"Isn't it, now the lychees are off the market."
"Coincidentally, distant relatives of the supply and marketing cooperatives came to visit them, and then they came all the way from the south to bring lychees and said that they wanted to give them a taste."
"I also wondered at the time, and I also asked the boss of the supply and marketing cooperative, and I said that now is not the season to eat lychees."
"As a result, guess what the boss of the supply and marketing cooperatives said?"
Mother Lu became interested after hearing this, so she asked:
"How?"
Xu Lan took a sip of water, breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued:
"The owner of the supply and marketing cooperatives said that his cousin has a large lychee garden at home, and they will put the lychees in the freezer after they are ripe, so as to prolong the preservation time of the lychees."
Xu Mu was a little weak as she spoke, after all, these were all nonsense by herself, and she didn't know if there was an ice vault in this era.
I saw that Lu's father and Lu's mother dispelled their doubts after listening to her words, and Xu Lan saw that they believed it temporarily, so he handed the lychee to them, and then continued:
"I just happened to go, and the owner of the supply and marketing cooperatives disliked that there were too many lychees and they were easy to spoil, so he put them in the store to sell some, and I just caught up, so I bought a little."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to store it, so I just wanted to make canned food, so I asked if I made some lychees."
…
After lunch, Xu Lan took five bottles of the canned food and sent them to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The boss of the supply and marketing cooperatives opened one of the bottles and tasted it, and his eyes lit up instantly.
It's not much better than the ready-made cans he enters!
He immediately placed an order with Xu Lan, saying that he would first put the remaining four bottles of canned food in the supply and marketing cooperatives to see how the feedback from the big guys was.
If everyone buys it and says it's good, then it will be purchased from Xu Lan for a long time.
Xu Mo thought for a while, hesitated for a few seconds, and then decisively agreed.
This is not much faster than making money from her stall.
After all, there are so many fruit trees in the space, and there are all kinds of them, and picking some at will is enough to make a cart of canned food.
The ingredients don't cost money, the only cost is her production time.
Isn't it stupid to do this just money-making business?
Now I'm waiting for someone to buy it and see how it reviews.
But since this is a business, it has to be talked about properly.
Xu Lan looked at the boss of the supply and marketing cooperative, her face was full of light, and she talked fiercely with the boss of the supply and marketing cooperatives about the supply of glass bottles, how to deal with the products after they passed the expiration date, and the selling price.
In the end, Xu Lan signed an agreement with the boss of the supply and marketing cooperative, under the guarantee of his basic rights and interests.
…
At ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Lan had already fallen asleep.
I could faintly hear the ringing of the telephone and the footsteps of people coming from the living room.
Xu Yan was a little noisy, she turned over, and then she heard a knock on the door, and there was a faint conversation between Lu Nanzhou and Lu Mu in her ears.
Xu Lan slept in a daze, and vaguely heard only one sentence:
"Something's wrong!"
