"An elm head that doesn't open its mind!"

Aunt Wang was so angry that she wanted to knock her son with a spatula. "Erni is ten years old, and she will be able to talk about her mother-in-law's family soon, if you don't get along with each other, a good daughter-in-law will become an adult."

"Mother, you better wake up, you don't have a little bit of the situation in our family, what do you want to marry the Jiang family?"

Wang Erlang didn't want to break some useless things with the old lady, so he picked up a piece of hot dough cake and changed his left and right hands twice, and walked out of the stove room while eating.

Instead of having that unrealistic dream like the old lady, it is still a variety of golden ears. When you make a lot of money, you still can't talk about a good daughter-in-law?

Like Aunt Wang, there are really a lot of people who are thinking about it, and the gate of the Jiang family is about to be broken in the past few days.

Some said goodbye to Jiang Cheng and Jiang Quan, and some directly found Jiang Erlang and told Erni to be a matchmaker.

There are a few even more outrageous, and they even want to give the four-year-old Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu a baby kiss.

Chunniang was speechless, and politely declined the seven aunts and eight aunts who came to the door.

For some reason, no one mentioned Sakura.

Sakura has been very busy lately, studying medicine and martial arts at the same time, and has to go to the field with his master to identify herbs.

In the countryside, you can find a lot of medicinal herbs, such as thistle, half-branched lotus, northern bupleurum, peppermint, banxia, banlan, pulsatilla and so on.

Each has different effects, such as thistle can stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, Bupleurum blue root can treat typhoid fever, pulsatilla can treat women with postpartum blood deficiency and dysentery, cat's claw can treat sore throat.

After some medicine identification, Sakura Bao realized that the wild grasses and wild vegetables he usually saw were medicinal materials.

Including some trees, fruits, flowers, etc., each has its healing properties.

Sakura Bao used to dig up medicine with a shovel, but later he stopped digging and only carefully recorded the names of wild grasses.

Combined with the prescriptions she had memorized before, she felt like she was entering a great natural medicine storehouse.

Every grass in the field is medicine, and every wild vegetable is also medicine, and if you dispense medicine in the future, you don't need to go to the pharmacy to buy it.

"Huh? Look at that hen! Erni, who was learning medicine together, pointed to a place and shouted.

Sakura looked up and saw that his Luhua chicken was fighting with a wild duck, and the feathers on his neck were blowing up.

The flat-billed duck was no match for the big fat chicken with a sharp beak, but it did not run away, and quacked angrily around the Luhua chicken.

And there are several plush ducklings under the Luhua chicken, as many as eight.

It turned out that this Luhua chicken actually robbed other people's wild duck cubs, and gently took insects for the ducklings to eat.

The ducklings are also very clingy to it, and they follow the Luhua chicken wherever they go.

The mother duck was unwilling to be taken away from her cubs, and kept rushing up to try to get them back.

It's a pity that the ducklings don't follow the mother duck, and they tend to stick to the mother Luhua chicken.

Everyone was stunned, including Sakuraho.

This hen is too domineering.

Not only did he snatch the ducks' cubs, but he also took them home.

The female duck followed her all the way to the gate of Jiang's house, and when she saw that her child was taken into the door by the damn big fat chicken, she quacked and screamed angrily outside, and finally could only fly away unwillingly.

Chunniang was very happy to see that her Luhua chicken brought back a group of ducklings, and immediately grabbed a handful of small yellow rice and fed it to the duck cubs.

Since then, Jiang Saburo's family has added another group of ducklings.

In mid-April, the fruits of Jiang Saburo's orchard were ripe one after another.

The apricots and peaches are full of branches, and the yellow and pink are tender and tender, which makes people drool.

This made Jiang Quan very happy.

With the consent of his little cousin, he picked baskets of apricots and peaches and transported them to the market to sell, but the results were not satisfactory.

After a bandit disaster in Chuanhe Town, all families are very tight, and few are willing to pay for snacks.

Yes, in the eyes of the villagers, these fruits are not hungry snacks, and only pregnant women and children will eat them.

Most villagers are willing to spend two pennies to buy a black-flour steamed bun, and they are not willing to spend one penny to buy two apricot fruits to try it.

This made Jiang Quan very frustrated.

Sakura Bao picks an apricot and takes a bite, it is very sweet, and a little sour, which is more delicious than last year's apricots.

The peaches are also good, big and sweet, with a strong peach flavor and much better than last year's peaches.

Could this be the credit of Pupil Spring?

A while ago, she used the pupil spring to water all the plants in the house, including the pepper seedlings and grape seedlings.

The crops that had been watered by the spring grew so fast that she was so frightened that she did not dare to water them again.

After that, occasionally water the vegetables in the vegetable garden, because the Jiang family has a large population, and the two martial arts masters Zhang Meng and Xu Kun also have a large amount of food, so the vegetables are consumed quickly, and the seedlings must be urged.

The apple trees planted in the brown soil are growing faster, and are now more than a foot tall, and it seems that the momentum is still growing.

It's just that those apple trees don't blossom and bear fruit, but stretch their branches and leaves frantically upward, and it is estimated that they will reach the top of the cave in a few days.

The melons planted with them are ripe and are very sweet and delicious.

Sakura Bao borrowed some melons from the vegetable garden and gave them to his family and his master.

Master Xiao Zhenniang liked it very much, and lamented that her son and husband were not happy.

Sister Wen also likes it, but she is reserved and introverted, and she won't say it.

"So much fruit can't be sold and eaten, alas, what a waste." Jiang Quan looked at the fruit tree and sighed.

Sakura didn't care, "If you can't finish eating, you can make preserved fruit." The second aunt also told me yesterday that apricots are the best to make preserved fruits. ”

Jiang Quan's eyes lit up: "Can you really make preserved fruits?" ”

"Yes, why don't you go and ask the second uncle, when the preserved fruit is sold for money, the three of us will divide it equally."

Sakura picked another peach and took a bite, it was fresh and sweet, it was really delicious.

It's amazing that no one buys such a delicious fruit.

Jiang Quan ran to find the second aunt Yanru, "Second aunt, Yingbao said that you can make preserved fruits, is it true?" ”

Yan Ru nodded: "It's not difficult to make preserved fruits, but it costs sugar, and ten catties of apricots require at least two catties of frosting." ”

"Huh? So much. Jiang Quan scratched his head. That's a bit tricky.

As we all know, sugar is more expensive, more expensive than salt.

At present, the cheapest is brown sugar, but brown sugar is not very sweet, there is no sugar sand and frosting sweetness. Jiang Quan had eaten candied fruits, and that thing was so sweet and sweet, it was definitely not made of brown sugar.

And the frosting costs sixty wen a catty, two catties of frosting to make ten catties of apricots, and after the finished preserved fruit is dried, it is estimated that there is not even one catty.

It's also too cost-effective.

Jiang Quan left dejectedly.

found the little cousin again and complained: "It's not cost-effective, the second aunt said that ten catties of apricots should be at least two catties of frosting, otherwise it will not be delicious." Two catties of frosting cost more than 100 yuan, and in the end, you can only show one pound of dried apricots, how can you make money. ”

Ying Bao asked: "How much does a pound of dried apricots sell for on the market?" ”

Jiang Quan blinked, thought for a while and said, "I haven't bought preserved apricots, but I have bought candied fruits, six candied fruits for one piece, and it costs fifteen yuan." ”

Six jujube candied fruits are said to be two taels, that is, two taels of candied fruit cost fifteen yuan, so one pound of candied fruit is one hundred and twenty yuan.

And to make a pound of preserved fruit costs more than 100 yuan of sugar, and the cost of apricots is not counted here.

How to look at how it is a loss-making transaction.

"The candied fruit has a core in the head, and it must be weighed, and there is no core in the dried apricot, so the price is naturally higher." Ying Bao said: "Why don't we try to do a little less, and if it doesn't work, we can eat it ourselves." ”

Jiang Quan reluctantly agreed, "Okay, then try it first." ”
