Although Su Qingluan had come to Xie Mansion several times, it was the first time he was so nervous. Along the way, she silently prayed for one thing: I hope that Xie Zi'an, a sweettooth brain with heavy sweets, will make him more brainless about sweets.

…… So if you open a dentist clinic near Hsieh Province, it should be a good business? When Su Qingluan got out of the carriage, he complained in his heart expressionlessly.

By the way, she has a real feeling of the so-called "tiring travel" in this era - without tires and shock absorbers, even if the carriage of the rich Xie Mansion can still shake people apart.

Xie Zi'an is still the kind of ointment and hakama look, he looks white and cute, and he will choke to death with a mouth. However, perhaps after Su Qingluan's "baptism" of sweets a few times, his attitude towards Su Qingluan was much more casual—although Su Qingluan didn't want to have this kind of casualness that challenged the limits of human patience all the time.

"I heard you're here to thank you?" Xie Zi'an was eating the grapes transported from the Tubo Express Horse, and at the same time asked Su Qingluan.

Su Qingluan looked at the stinky boy in front of him with envy and hatred who didn't even need to pick the grape skin himself, and his teeth itched: Ah, I really want to overthrow the criminal exploiting class...... Patience and Patience......

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "Yes, thanks to Xie Xiaolangjun's generosity, I used the shop in that good location for nothing, and the mere thank-you gift is not a respect......"

"It's really not respectful to get two broken jars." Xie Zi'an pouted.

...... "Patience, patience!" This stinky boy is his own potential angel investor! Be patient! Su Qingluan smiled and suppressed the mouth that wanted Zu An to export.

"Although this jar is simple, there is something else in it." Su Qingluan then said with a smile.

"Qiankun, do you mean the water that can't be put on the table?" Xie Zi'an sneered.

Hehe, it's really not up to your identity as a young master Jin Gui when you go into the water, so the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys in your stomach are also on the table-Su Qingluan smiled gently on the surface, and the thunder and lightning in his heart were mixed with thunder and lightning.

I never thought that the old housekeeper, who had been standing next to him, was as tall as a pine, solemn and cold, and when he heard this, the expression on his face turned his head to look at Xie Zi'an and exclaimed: "The little master secretly went to eat that soup again?" Had too much diarrhea last time......"

Immediately, the old housekeeper probably thought that Su Qingluan, the shopkeeper of the water stall, was still there, and hurriedly shut down, staring at his little master who had obviously become weak with condemnation.

Su Qingluan: Oh, eating melons hit my head, but I saw the cheap young master being slapped in the face, well, this feels good.

It's just that I didn't expect that, except for the housekeeper, even the little master secretly bought this kind of "can't go to work" thing to eat?

reminded her of the news of some rich second-generation people driving luxury cars and eating roadside stalls.

Sure enough, the delicious taste that has been verified by everyone is the real deliciousness.

Probably feeling that he was slapped in the face in an instant, Xie Zi'an quickly switched to the poisonous tongue mode and jumped to the two jars: "Hmph, I want to see what you have brought...... Kindness? ”

When the two jars were opened, a moderate sweet and sour fruity aroma came to the face.

Xie Zi'an is a noble man who came out of the rich gold and silver pile, which not only says that his food and clothing are all fine, but more importantly, he eats too many delicacies, and ordinary delicacies are rare to let this little Langjun take a second look.

…… Except for sweets.

Attracted by the sweet and sour with a rich fruity aroma, Xie Zi'an took both jars in his hand, and approached to smell this jar and smell the other one.

"This is jam?" After a while, he carefully sniffed the faint fragrance that was different from the fruit, and looked up and asked, "What did you add here?" I seem to smell the smell of tea. ”

Su Qingluan nodded and said with a smile: "It is worthy of Xie Xiaolangjun, his sense of smell is much sharper than that of ordinary people, and there is indeed jasmine tea and hair tips in it." ”

These two "additives" were added by Su Qingluan later.

Originally, it was just an attempt, but later I found that after grinding all kinds of tea leaves into powder and evenly sprinkled with jam, not only can make the taste of jam more layered and richer, but also the slightly bitter taste of tea can also resolve the overly sweet and greasy taste of jam - although she said that the jam is only sweet and sour, but after eating too much, she will feel greasy.

"Jam and tea? What kind of weird combination is this? Xie Zi'an sneered.

"Xiao Langjun might as well have a taste?" Su Qingluan started Amway with a smile, "This jam is very good whether it is eaten alone or spread on pasta, or even drunk with warm water." However, if you drink it together, there may be a flesh that loses its flavor and becomes bland, and there is no taste. ”

After listening to Su Qingluan's words, Xie Zi'an summoned the little servant to bring a delicate white jade spoon, carefully dug out a little, put it in his mouth, and then his eyes lit up:

Although jam is very rare in commoners - after all, making jam requires fresh fruit and a lot of sugar, which are both luxuries - but it is not the first time that a child of a high-ranking official like Xie Zi'an has seen jam.

However, this time the jam is unusual, not only has a different fruity aroma, sweet and sour, but also lingers with the fragrance of tea and jasmine, which makes the original sweet and sour not so monotonous, and the tea fragrance also dissolves the bitterness that Xie Xiaolangjun does not like.

Xie Zi'an narrowed a pair of cat-like eyes, as if recalling the wonderful taste of the jam just now, and after a moment, he stretched out a spoon to the sherbet.

"Xie Xiaolangjun, wait!" When the spoon had not yet touched the jam again, Su Qingluan hurriedly spoke out to stop it, "Can Xiao Langjun eat this jar at one time?" ”

Even if you can eat it, the jam with such a high sweetness - although it can't be eaten because of the seasoning - if you go down in a jar, not to mention the problem of tooth decay, it is estimated that you will not need to ask for it the next day if it is just your throat.

When Xie Zi'an heard this, he also showed an expression similar to a toothache, and asked again and again: "What if you can't eat it?" Can I eat it again tomorrow? ”

Su Qingluan said with a smile, "That spoon is stained with Xiao Langjun's saliva, if it comes into contact with the jam, I'm afraid it won't be stored for a few days, and it will be rancid and spoiled." "After all, there are no preservatives like potassium sorbate in jams of this era.

Xie Zi'an was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't it true that the jam can only be left for three or five days and must be eaten, otherwise it will spoil quickly?" "The jam he used to eat was all freshly eaten and cooked like this, even if it wasn't the jam in his house, he had to bring it quickly and eat it as soon as possible.

Although Xie Zi'an didn't feel distressed about the unfinished jam, it was an indisputable fact that the jam would spoil after a few days.

Hearing Xie Zi'an's words, Su Qingluan was very surprised, and said in her heart: Although there are no preservatives, her jam can't be like the jam sold in the supermarket in her previous life, and it won't deteriorate for a year and a half or two years, but with the gradually decreasing temperature outside, it's absolutely no problem to keep it for three or four months, not to mention that even in summer, the jam should be able to be stored for a month, right?

How can you go rancid in three or five days?

Su Qingluan asked Xie Zi'an if he knew how to make jam, and the little young master who was only responsible for "tasting" naturally didn't know about this kind of "mundane business".

Fortunately, there are cooks in Xie Mansion who can make jam, and Su Qingluan understood when he asked.

It turns out that if you want to make jam, everyone will subconsciously choose a ripe, sweet fruit as the raw material, so that the fresh fruit is directly mashed, or boiled and matured and added a small amount of sugar or honey to become jam.

In this state, because the fruit itself tastes sweet enough, there is no need to add too much sugar for flavoring, and naturally there is no obvious preservative effect, and it is natural for the jam to deteriorate in three to five days.

Su Qingluan is different, she chose the wild fruits in the mountains, although the fruity aroma is strong, but it is also the kind that the sour taste can go straight to the heavenly spirit cover and overturn the skull.

Because the taste is too sour, Su Qingluan can only add more sugar to taste, not to mention that in order to add flavor, a little salt will be added, plus a long time of boiling, so that most of the water of the wild fruit has evaporated.

This kind of processing steps make the jam further increase the osmotic pressure when making, and in this environment of high salt, high sugar and low water, it is very difficult for microorganisms to multiply, and it is naturally more difficult to spoil.

However, because of the large use of sugar and salt, the cost price of these two small bottles of jam is also very considerable.

But Su Qingluan said that it didn't matter - jam is similar to a Michelin-starred restaurant to a salaried social animal carrying a mortgage, a car loan, and a four-legged gold-swallowing beast for the people of this era.

In other words, these two tubes of jam, Su Qingluan positioned themselves as "high-end luxury food" at the beginning.

Who has the money? Man of wealth!

And who has the money and leisure to study delicious food - it is the noble lady who lives in the back house in this era and the unscrupulous gentleman like the one in front of him!

They need to enjoy life and want to pursue a more extreme enjoyment of the tip of the tongue, Su Qingluan naturally will not miss such an obvious and resource-rich blue ocean!

In the mood for a bite to eat? Isn't that easy?

However, "food" alone is not enough, Su Qingluan understands that if you want to achieve your goal, this food must be "local specialties with local characteristics, and you must not be here"!

…… Therefore, local wild fruits should also be regarded as "local food", right?

The chef of Xie Mansion was obviously surprised that Su Qingluan's jam could easily remain unchanged for several months, but the other party also understood that every chef had a secret recipe, and the other party didn't take the initiative to say it, but he had to inquire, which was not only quite eyeless, but also broke the rules.

Xie Zi'an looked at another jar of jam, asked someone to bring a new small teaspoon, dug a little and tasted it.

It is another kind of sweet and sour, and another kind of tea aroma.

Although they are both a combination of jam and tea, they are completely different sensations.

Su Qingluan just looked at the other party's aftertaste, and his heart was drumming.

Maybe after a long time, maybe after a moment, Xie Zi'an finally raised his head and asked, "How much silver do you sell for this bottle of jam?" ”
