Chapter 224 Cherry Fried

"Ring ring."

After a long while, there was a sound of copper bells shaking from outside, Miss Chu Si, who was joking with Wen Shu, paused, and immediately got up and ran out.

A mule cart came from the west of the official road, led by two fine horses, on which sat a middle-aged man and a young man.Dozens of horses and horses followed the two of them. The first were two green-covered horse-drawn carriages, followed by a row of mule carts, each of which was full of goods.

"Third Uncle, Liulang!" Fourth Miss Chu happily went up to him.

"Fourth sister, why are you here?"

"I know you're here today, so I'm here to welcome you. Is your journey going well?"

"It's going well, it's going well." Uncle Chu said with a half smile and half scolding: "Let's go, hurry to the city, tired all the way, so you can relax when you go to the city."

Uncle Chu was fat and fat, and he smiled like a Mi Le Buddha. He looked extremely kind and he was also the best businessman in the family.

"No hurry, no hurry, this trip is less than twenty miles away from the city gate, third uncle, you should leave the mansion early in the morning, it's almost noon, you must be tired and tired." She pointed to the tea shed and said: "There is a tea shop here, which is opened by a friend of mine. Why don't third uncle come down to rest and drink some tea soup slowly."

Third Uncle Chu glanced at the tea shed with a smile. Just as he was about to speak, he was intercepted by Mr. Sixth Chu next to him: "Fourth Sister, you just came to Beijing and made new friends?"

"It's not a new friend, you know that little lady."

"I know."

Chu Xin was surprised, it was his first time in Beijing, how could he recognize Fourth Sister's friends in Beijing.

Seeing his confused look, Fourth Miss Chu couldn't help but cast a glance at him, and said bitterly: "Yumu head, do you still remember that little lady Wen who treated you in Cangzhou?"

"Oh, it's her." Mr. Chu Liu suddenly realized.

"No."

When Third Uncle Chu heard this, he didn't intend to rest for a while, so he immediately changed his mind and said with a smile, "Then we should go in and sit down. Miss Wen has a favor with Liu Lang. Since he ate her fish, Liu Lang has never had a nightmare again." Since I met you this time, I should thank you again."

After finishing speaking, he got off his horse and walked towards a green-covered carriage behind him.

Fourth Miss Chu saw that he was not going to the tea shed, but turned his head back, she couldn't help being curious, and bumped Chu Xin's arm: "What is Uncle Three doing?"

"Third aunt is here." Chu Xin whispered.

"Ah, third aunt, why is she here?" Chu Hong was full of surprise.

The third aunt usually takes charge of the inner house, and the third uncle is one in charge of the house and the other in charge of the outside.

"Grandmother agreed." Seeing her doubts, Chu Xin said softly.

"What's going on, tell me carefully"

However, before the words were finished, a person came down from the carriage, Fourth Miss Chu looked intently, it was undoubtedly her third aunt, Chu Guoshi, so she could only press her doubts and greet her, and greeted her
Mrs. Chu Guo had just woken up, her brows were still a little lazy. After seeing Chu Hong, she couldn't help but look up and down, and then said with a smile: "You look good, and you have gained some weight. It seems that you have not suffered in Beijing. Mr. My wife keeps talking at home, saying that your fourth uncle is a big bastard, so don't wrong you. Now I feel relieved, and I will write to her old man later, so that she can feel at ease."

"Grandmother Lao misses my third aunt. I have worked hard all the way, so I hurried down to rest my feet."

"It's hard work, but it's not hard work, but after sitting in the chariot for a long time, I'm really suffocating. It's just right to come down and get some air." After speaking, he went to the tea shed with Chu Hong.

In the tea shed, seeing their group coming here, Wen Shu hurriedly turned around and asked Mrs. Zhao to wash and put the ten catties of cherries she just bought into plates.

After a while, a group of people entered the tea shop. Wen Shu hurriedly stepped forward to greet and salute, and Chu's family returned the salute.

After the two parties sat down, Third Uncle Chu cheerfully asked when the tea shop opened?How long have you been driving?Scenes like how business is going.

Wen Shu answered them one by one, and then asked them if the journey was smooth, and what goods they brought to Beijing.

After the two parties exchanged pleasantries and ate some fruit, Miss Chu continued to ask her previous doubts unintentionally: "Why is Third Aunt coming to Beijing this time when she is free? Is everything okay at home?"

"Well, I've been managing the house for more than ten years, and I'm tired. It just so happens that your sister-in-law is capable. I took care of her for a while, and now I can take care of myself. With your grandmother's help, I'm sure it's fine. Just thinking about it, why don't you come to Beijing with your third uncle, firstly, take this opportunity to relax, secondly."

Mrs. Chu Guo didn't say any more, but Miss Chu Si had already understood.

Eighty percent of it is for the heirs.

Three uncles and three aunts, husband and wife love each other, and the relationship is very good. The only downside is that they have no children. The two have been married for more than ten years. Except for the first two years after they failed to keep one, they have never been pregnant again.

I saw countless doctors in Cangzhou, but they all said that the problem was not serious. As for why I couldn't conceive, none of them could tell the reason. Therefore, my third aunt had to accept a concubine for my third uncle with tears in my eyes, so as to continue the incense.

But Wang Xiaoniang, who was accepted into the door, has not moved in the past three years.

Seeing that the third uncle was almost forty, but he didn't have a child under his knees, the family was already discussing secretly, if it really didn't work, he would adopt a child under the name of her father or the second uncle.

But judging from today's events, I am afraid that the third aunt still wants her own child more, so she came to Beijing to seek medical treatment with this slim hope.

She had figured it out in her heart, but she pretended not to know on her face, and said with a smile: "Then the third aunt is right, this capital is very lively and interesting, and it is much better than Cangzhou. I will take the third aunt when I have time in the future." Go and see one by one."

Chu Guoshi responded with a smile.

After eating some fruit and drinking some tea soup, the Chu family's motorcade left. Elders came to the house, and Miss Chu Si couldn't stay alone, so she also left together.

Wen Shu glanced at a small piece of silver and uneaten fruit on the table, smiled, first put the silver into his bosom, and then put the scattered cherries together. The catty was on the right, so Mrs. Zhao set up a small stove and planned to make "cherry fried".

The cherries cannot withstand the water, and according to the current weather, they will be spoiled before tomorrow morning.

"Cherry Fried" is a snack that is eaten in the south, but it has become popular in Beijing in the past two years, because the candied fruit class taught in their private school also has this snack.

The method is to wash the cherries first, remove the stalks and pits, then put in four taels of sucrose and stir evenly, pour it into a casserole and simmer until the sucrose melts, and then simmer for a quarter of an hour, stirring constantly during the period to avoid sticking .

When the water is separated from the fruit, pour out the boiled juice, and press out the water in the fruit with a spoon, then add four taels of sucrose and two taels of honey in a casserole, and fry for a quarter of an hour.

After that, take it out and squeeze out the water, then put it in a casserole to cook, and repeat this process twice. When the fruit is completely dry and the color is amber, you can pour it out and let it cool, and then dry it in the sun. It will last for a long time.

Due to the complicated process and the exquisite materials used, the selling price is not cheap. The candied fruit shops in the city cost [-] yuan for one tael of "Cherry Fried".

And her two catties of cherries should be able to get four or five taels after making them.

Because her hand was injured, it was inconvenient to operate, so Mrs. Zhao did all the chores like cleaning and draining, and Wen Shu moved her mouth and directed.

Mrs. Zhao is also very willing.

Not to mention that she is an employed person, she should be responsible for doing these things, and the things that make her happy, the little boss asked her to avoid them all the time, but he unreservedly used this fashionable candied fruit, obviously Put it in front of her in vain.

And tell her that if you come across cherries that look good in the future, you can buy more, and then make fried cherries according to this method, and sell them in the store as a new product.

Wen Shu guided everything in detail, and Mrs. Zhao followed suit one by one. When the cherries in the casserole turned amber, the sun had already moved west.

During the period, Goudan sat obediently on the gate rail, drawing on the ground with a branch, never made a fuss once, it was very quiet, Wen Shu looked at it strangely, and lamented to Mrs. Zhao many times that Goudan was obedient and sensible.
