Chapter Ninety-Three: Making Canned Persimmons
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Qinghuan came to Wang Ailan's house, and she saw that Wang Ailan was the only one in the family, so she asked Wang Ailan: "Aunt Wang, where is your youngest son?" ”
"You said Xiaofu, he went to school."
"Oh, do we have a school here?"
"No, I don't care that there is a primary school in the nearest village to us, and Xiaofu is studying there."
Shi Qinghuan nodded after hearing Wang Ailan's words, and then she asked Wang Ailan, "Aunt Wang, is there something you called me to do?" ”
"It's not a big deal, didn't you say that you want to learn to make canned persimmons with me, it just so happens that I will make canned persimmons in a while, so I thought I would let you learn it, this thing is very simple, make sure you will see it."
"Okay, is there anything you need my help with?"
"Yes, you help me cut the persimmons into small pieces, and I'll go wash the jar."
Shi Qinghuan nodded after hearing Wang Ailan's words, and then she picked up the knife and prepared to cut the persimmons.
But when her knife touched the persimmons, she thought that the persimmon soup she had drunk before was all peeled, so she asked Wang Ailan: "Aunt Wang, do you want to peel the persimmons?" ”
"No, that thing is too hard to peel, just cut it, it doesn't taste much worse anyway."
After Shi Qinghuan heard Wang Ailan's words, she thought of the persimmon peeling method she had seen before, but she had never tried it, and she didn't know if it would succeed.
So she said to Wang Ailan: "Aunt Wang, I know a way to peel the persimmon, you can easily remove the skin of the persimmon, but I have never tried it, do you want to give it a try?" ”
"What's the solution? You said. ”
"In fact, the method is very simple, that is, put the persimmons in hot water and blanch them for a while, and then put the persimmons in cold water, so that the skin of the persimmons can be peeled off easily."
Wang Ailan also felt that it was very simple after listening to Shi Qinghuan's words, so she planned to give it a try, but it didn't take much effort anyway.
So she went outside the house and boiled a pot of hot water, and put a few persimmons in the pot.
A few minutes later, Wang Ailan saw that the skin of the persimmon burst a little, so she asked the servant Qinghuan, "Huanhuan, is it okay for the persimmon to be scalded like this?" ”
"Okay, you use a spoon to scoop the persimmons into cold water to cool them, and then peel the persimmons."
After Wang Ailan heard Shi Qinghuan's words, she did what Shi Qinghuan said, and after a while, she peeled off the skin of a few persimmons, and she was immediately happy.
So she hurriedly said to the servant Qinghuan: "Huanhuan, the method you said is feasible, you see that it took me a little time to peel off the skin of these persimmons." ”
"That's good, you can take the water in the pot and heat it up again, and then put more persimmons into the blanch."
Wang Ailan said hello after hearing Shi Qinghuan's words, and then she went out to heat up.
After more than an hour, Shi Qinghuan finished cutting the last persimmon, and then she said to Wang Ailan: "Aunt Wang, I have already cut all the persimmons, what should I do next?" ”
"Put the cut persimmons in a glass jar, remember not to overfill, just fill it up to eight, because you will have to add sugar later."
Shi Qinghuan said hello after hearing Wang Ailan's words, and then she and Wang Ailan put the cut persimmons into a glass jar.
