Chapter 7 Make Canned Food
Liu San pointed to the glass bottle on the top of the cabinet, and looked back at everyone excitedly, "Dad, Mom! There are so many pears that cannot be sold or stored, why don't we make them into cans!? That way the pears won't rot .”

Hearing this, Daddy Liu opened his mouth halfway, and his frowns relaxed a little. He stroked his chin and pondered Liu San's words, "Yeah, the second brother's method is very good, your mother happens to know how to make canned food."

When Aunt Liu heard this, she didn't agree very much. It is not difficult to make canned food, but it needs a lot of white sugar. The family is really poor, so where can I have extra money to buy white sugar?

Uncle Liu saw what his wife was thinking, took out a few dollars from his jacket pocket, and handed it to Liu San, "Go to the supply and marketing agency with your elder brother and buy a few catties of sugar, let's try it first."

"Can this method work? If it doesn't work, let's take a few catties of sugar in?" Aunt Liu looked at the ticket handed out, very reluctant to part with it. This money can buy a catty of pork.

Daddy Liu waved his hand, and said in relief: "It's okay, just treat it as your skill and cook it for the children."

Aunt Liu's heart was at ease now, and she no longer struggled with the few catties of white sugar.

Liu San and Liu Er trotted to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town. The supply and marketing cooperative had a small appearance, but there were many kinds of goods on the shelves.

A row of canned food of this type was placed on the most conspicuous shelf. Liu San's eyes rolled, thinking of inquiring about the price first, so that he could make his own canned food in the future so that he could set a price.

He pointed to the next can and asked the salesperson, "Comrade, how much is this can of pears?"

The salesperson is a young girl who irons the most fashionable wool curls and sits behind the counter and trims her nails with nail clippers.She glanced at Liu San out of the corner of her eye, and snorted coldly: "What, are you hungry? You can't afford it."

Liu Er got angry, and rolled up his sleeves to find an explanation for his younger brother, but before he could speak, Liu San stopped him.

"Comrade, I'll buy three catties of sugar."

The salesman threw down the nail clippers and said angrily, "White sugar is fifty cents a catty, three catties one dollar five! Have you brought enough money?"

Liu San took out a few yuan from Daddy Liu, counted out one and five and put it on the counter.

The salesperson slapped the money on the counter with a "snap", and then reluctantly went to weigh Liu San's candy.

After getting the sugar, Liu San and Liu Er left the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Second brother, this person has such a bad attitude, why don't you let me teach her a lesson? She is called serving the people?!" Liu Er thrust his waist angrily.

"Do you want to go another ten miles to another supply and marketing cooperative?" Liu San shook his head helplessly holding Bai Tang.

After the two brothers left, the salesperson turned around and saw the canned pears behind her. For some reason, the more she looked at the shelf, the more awkward it became.

She picked up the can of pears in the front row and tried to push it into the last row.

But she had just picked up the can of pears and was about to move the shelf when she heard a click, and the wooden shelf was actually broken in the middle!
"Crackling", the cans on this layer fell down along the broken part, she couldn't stand it at all, after receiving a bottle or two, she could only watch the other cans hit the ground.

The shattered glass splashed all over the floor, and the frightened salesman even dropped the two bottles in his hand, clutching his head and backing away again and again.

She was about to cry, what evil did she fall into today?I have to clean up the shelves! ?
Just as she was covering her head in annoyance, a scorching gaze shot at her back, burning it painfully.

She looked back, and it turned out to be Director Wang of the supply and marketing cooperative. His face was as black as a black whirlwind. At this moment, his eyes might kill her.

The director stepped on the ground covered with sugar water, pointed at her and yelled at her, "What are you doing! So many cans fell, are you crazy!"

The salesperson wanted to cry, but didn't even know how to explain.In the end, Director Wang was tired of scolding, and she was also slumped, as limp as a wicker with its muscles stretched.

She drooped her head and did not dare to say anything, so she could only endure it, thinking that she was unlucky.

On the other side, seeing the Liu San brothers coming back with white sugar in their arms, Aunt Liu began to prepare the tools for making canned pears.

She first found a few empty bottles, scalded them with boiling water, put them aside to cool, and then asked a few children to pick pears.

Liu Er was still angry and didn't want to participate in making canned food, so he volunteered to hug Liu Qiqi, looking at Liu Qiqi's star-like eyes, he felt inexplicably at ease.

Liu San volunteered to pick pears. According to Aunt Liu's instructions, he picked a dozen white and fat pears, washed them one by one in the basin, and then peeled them.

Cut the pears in half and remove the pear core, then put the processed pears into boiling water and boil for about 5 minutes, Liu San blocked the coal stove to prevent the air from circulating.

After the temperature of the pot dropped, Aunt Liu added three catties of sugar to ten catties of pears according to her previous experience.

She stirred gently in the pot, watching the sugar melt little by little.

After the pear soup had completely cooled down, Aunt Liu scooped the pears into glass jars with a scalded spoon, then poured in the water for boiling the pears, and sealed it for storage.

A few days later, the canned pears were successfully made. Daddy Liu opened a bottle and distributed it to several children. All the children liked it, including the youngest Liu Qiqi, who was also very happy to lick the sugar water.

Aunt Liu sighed deeply. Although it was delicious, this method of canning was a waste of white sugar. White sugar is much more expensive than pears. If you use this method to keep the pears from rotting, the gain outweighs the gain.

She discussed with Daddy Liu, but she still felt that the method of making canned food was not good enough.

Liu San looked at the remaining cans and thought about it, "Father and Mother, the cans at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative cost three yuan a bottle. If we sell these bottles, won't we be able to buy sugar?"

Thinking of the bad face of the captain a few days ago, Dad Liu had a headache, "No way! Speculation is very serious."
