Chapter 54: Jam

Dinner is full, and everyone has something to do. By the light of the fire, the men beat straw sandals and rubbed ropes; The women mended their clothes and prepared dry food.

Du Ruoli buried a cone chestnut in the fire, waited for half an hour to take it out, peeled off the skin and put it in his mouth, and ate a mouthful of sweetness. It is an excellent variety, infinitely close to chestnut.

The ingredients are excellent, and you can make some delicious food. Du Ruoli instructed Shen Sanzhi: "Auntie, you will steam the cone chestnuts and pound them into fine sand." Add sautéed pine nuts and maltose to the fine sand and cut into boxy chestnut cakes. Take it and sell it to Mrs. Zhao for a pound of silver or two. ”

Most of the women in the Zhao family are used to living a good life, and they think about a mouthful of sweets every day, and they do not refuse sweets.

"So that's what chestnut cake does!" Shen Sanzhi hurriedly got up to find something to do: "Auntie, let's go prepare, let's do less first, you can help taste it." ”

Du Ruoli smiled flatteringly: "Let's do a little more, everyone will help taste it, you see, everyone has a hard day, and they should ......."

"No way! The windows are blocked for you! After you are well fed and clothed, think about what you have and what you don't have! ”

Shen Sanzhi glanced at Du Ruoli, picked out ten cone chestnuts and a handful of pine nuts, and began to work.

Du Ruoli sighed in her heart, watched Shen Sanzhi prepare everything, clicked a drop of maltose with chopsticks, and kneaded it into a beautiful chestnut cake.

Shen Sanzhi is indeed talented in cooking, and he can make sweet but not greasy, fragrant chestnut cake without tasting.

Du Ruoli broke a small piece and put it in her mouth, and the rest was divided into two, and fed a piece to Shen Sanzhi and Zhou Daya: "It's done, that's the taste, you can make more." Do a good job of calling me, and I'll sell it to the Zhao family. Now go in for a while. ”

"Okay, there you go." Thinking that the silver would be credited to the account immediately, Shen Sanzhi and Zhou Daya swallowed the chestnut cake in their mouths, and before they even tasted it, they became happy and busy.

Du Ruoli hugged her sister back to the cave. The best position in the cave was brightly lit, and the doctor was treating Ji Tong and others, wailing.

No one wants to stay in the cave, either gather around the fire to roast the fire, or wander around, or go up the mountain to hunt in the dark like Du Zhi's brothers.

There were only two prisoners in the cave, himself and his sister, and there was a huge stalactite between him and the servant, Du Ruoli simply disguised himself and entered the space.

Xiao Ruoyu, who was already sleepy, immediately refreshed when he entered the space, dancing happily, and making strange sounds in his mouth.

Xiao Budian turned out to be a good thing, Du Ruoli smiled and changed her diaper and put her in the crib.

There are several small bells hanging from the crib, and when you touch them with your hands or kick them up, they will make a jingling sound. Since he learned it, Xiao Ruoyu has to play for a while every time he comes in.

Du Ruoli saw that she was happy to play by herself, and went into the bathroom to take a hot bath.

Xiao Ruoyu played and fell asleep, Du Ruoli came out and saw it, tied her with an anti-startle sleeping bag, and went into the kitchen to find food.

In the kitchen, there were chicken stewed mushrooms and cold eggplant salad prepared in advance, and I ate two bowls of rice. When you are full, wash and dice the hawthorn picked today, mix in a lot of sugar, a few drops of lemon juice, and pour it into the bread maker. Make hawthorn sauce with the jam function of the bread maker.

The hawthorn sauce is sweet and sour, and it is very delicious to use to spread steamed bread. Du Ruoli likes it very much, and I believe that Xue Jinxin, a pregnant woman, will also like it.

While the toaster was busy, Du Ruoli cleaned up the kitchen, mixed a glass of juice with Yakult and kiwi for herself, and sat by the well to drink it, enjoying a rare leisure time.

The bread machine stopped, the hawthorn sauce was ready, she got up and went back to the kitchen, leaving herself two spoonfuls of jam to eat tomorrow morning, and the rest was all packed into a wooden bowl, half a bowl.

As soon as I saw that it was still early, I made half a bowl of kiwi jam and brought out the space together.

Outside the cave, the chestnut cake is already in the final stages of shaping. Shen Sanzhi pinched a few plum blossoms, and it turned out to be decent.

Seeing Du Ruoli, Shen Sanzhi was a little uneasy: "Ah Li, you can help your aunt take a look, do you want to get it like this." My aunt thought that the cube was too simple, and tried to make it into a flower, but I don't know if it will work? ”

Du Ruoli stretched out a thumbs up to her: "It's too good, it's better than the dim sum shop." I took it to the Zhao family, you wait for my good news. ”

was praised fiercely, Shen Sanzhi smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth: "Go quickly, aunt is waiting for you." ”

The Zhao family was roasting in front of the fire on the other side of the cave, Xue Jinxin was next to Mrs. Zhao, whispering something, Qiao'er was lying on her lap, already asleep.

Seeing Du Ruoli, Xue Jinxin beckoned happily: "Sister Du, come and sit down and talk to your sister." ”

"Hello old lady!" Du Ruoli said hello to Mrs. Zhao, sat on Xue Jinxin's right hand, and got straight to the point: "I got some things in the mountains today, and I processed them myself, you can see if you like it or not." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the things in his hand. There were too many things to take, so she made a few net pockets with thin rope, put the wooden bowl into the net pocket, and brought them over.

Xue Jinxin took the thing, and the first thing he opened was the colorful and sour hawthorn sauce, and he fell in love with it just by smelling the taste. I couldn't wait to dig out the remaining half of the steamed bun in Qiao'er's hand, dip it and put it in my mouth, and all my internal organs were in place.

Just as he was about to take this bite, someone brought it to the door, and Xue Jinxin was about to cry with joy.

Then open the kiwi sauce, the taste is milder and sweeter than the hawthorn sauce, not suitable for her current taste, but it is more suitable for other people, and it is also an excellent thing.

Finally, there was a box of beautiful chestnut cake, Xue Jinxin pinched a piece and put it in Mrs. Zhao's mouth: "Grandmother try it." ”

Mrs. Zhao swallowed in small gulps: "It's so delicious, sweet and delicious, you can forget your sorrows after eating." Thank you girl for thinking about us and bringing us good things. ”

Especially the hawthorn sauce, when I saw my granddaughter-in-law, I was hungry, now it's good, I don't have to worry that she can't eat, and she will burn her body alive.

Du Ruoli smiled: "If you like it, it's good!" ”

Although it is a business, she is dedicated, and she also hopes that the other party will have a better attitude, not to pick her nose and eyes, and to treat herself as the party who gives alms.

The Zhao family is very good, she is willing to put a lot of effort into taking care of them in all aspects, and earns the silver while standing.

Mrs. Zhao said: "I like it, I like it incomparably." If there are good things, you can do them boldly. The Zhao family accepted all the orders. ”

"With your words, I'm relieved!"

Du Ruoli took 5 taels of silver from the old lady, including 3 taels of chestnut cake, 1 tael of hawthorn sauce and 1 tael of kiwi sauce.

She didn't mention that the jam was boiled with expensive sugar, and it was easy to expose the filling when she brought it up, after all, she was a peasant girl and shouldn't carry sugar with her. Therefore, the price of jam is not high, and it costs 500 yuan for a catty.

Du Ruoli didn't feel a loss, and went back happily with the silver.
