Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 20 Food Additives

Not letting Erya eat too much, Mo Qianrui coaxed her to not have too much sugar water and save it for tomorrow, Erya nodded sensiblely.

Scoop out the syrup from the pot and put it in a jar, thanks to the many empty jars at home, otherwise Mo Qianrui has been working hard every day, and there is nowhere to put it.However, the syrup is too thick if it is not intended to be made into caramel.After careful calculation, the value of this caramel is higher than that of sugar water, but the weight of sugar water is more than that of caramel.

After all, sugar water is made by mixing syrup with water, while caramel is made by pressing the syrup after the water evaporates.

After such a calculation, it seems that selling sugar water is not a loss. Besides, if the profit is small but the sales are high, it may be more profitable than making caramel.It just so happens that it is midsummer now, even though there are herbal teas for sale in the market, those rough teas are not liked by women and children.If you make more flavored sweet tea, you will definitely be able to sell it.

Mo Qianrui clearly knows that no matter what age, women and children are always the best earners. As for the food business, as long as you pay attention to cheap and good quality, even if you can't make a fortune, it is no problem to support your family.

"Father and mother, come and taste this sweet tea."

After the family had dinner, Mo Qianrui brought out two bowls of diluted syrup and handed them to his parents for advice.Although this Er Ya is a little greedy cat, but in the end it is a child, and it has to be checked by parents.

After drinking the sweet tea, my dad thought it was too sweet and sticky, but my mother thought it tasted very good, even better than brown sugar water.

Mo Qianrui got an opinion and reaffirmed her idea that this sweet tea is indeed very suitable for women and children.As for rough men, let's drink rough tea!
However, the problem of sweet tea is easy to solve, but it is troublesome to go to the market.

"What? Wheat Harvest?" Mo Qianrui was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the scene of the original owner's memory, and immediately smiled wryly.How could she have forgotten that even with the help of machinery in her previous life, this wheat harvest was extremely busy.Today, there are no machines, only manual labor.If it's a prosperous family like the Li family, that's fine.All the strong laborers go into battle together, and it will be fine after a few days of hard work.Ke Mo's house...

"Big girl, in a few days, both parents will go to the fields to harvest wheat, so you can take care of Erya at home. By the way, remember to go to the field to deliver food and drinks. We have a small family, so we need to hurry up." A Niang gave orders while looking at Dad, "Father, do you think her grandma will come back to help? It's just the two of us in our house, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it."

Dad frowned and thought about it, and finally shook his head: "I'm afraid it's impossible. My uncle has a lot of children, and they all depend on her grandma to take care of them."

"Even if her grandma doesn't have time to come over, what about her aunt? During the wheat harvest season, the academy should be on leave. Can her uncle come?" A Niang still didn't give up. Mo's family has ten acres of dry land, all of which are planted with wheat. Putting it away in a hurry is not an easy task.

"Dream. Her aunt, who can't lift her shoulders and resist, is not as capable as our big girl. In the past, when her aunt was at home, she didn't even go into the kitchen. Besides, her uncle... …The skinny and tender meat, don’t faint immediately, and you’ll have to waste your money on medicine. You just have to, anyway, I won’t go to the town to invite those ancestors, don’t wait for the servants to invite them, I have to let the big girl cook and wash for them."

Hearing what Dad said, A Niang was very angry, but what her man said was the truth, if he really invited someone, it might be like this.

For a while, neither father nor mother said anything, and Mo Qianrui also looked stunned, but Erya licked her face and came closer, looking helplessly at the sweet tea that father had only taken a sip of: "Father, don't you Love to drink this sweet water, don’t you? Let me drink it for you.”

Being interrupted by Erya like this relieved the atmosphere a bit. A Niang slapped Erya on the back angrily, but Dad didn't blame Erya, but happily gave her the rest of the sweet tea , and then said to A Niang: "I can only rely on the two of us to watch the wheat harvest. It doesn't matter if you are tired. At worst, I'll do more while the night is dark. Anyway, the sky is bright tonight."

"Are you planning to tire your body out? That's all, I just thought that if someone helps me, I can finish the collection sooner. After all, in this season, it might rain someday." A Niang sighed slightly. With a sigh of relief, she looked at Mo Qianrui apologetically, "Girl, we have few people in our family and a lot of work, so the house depends on you. Well, thanks to your ability, if you are like your aunt, Our family doesn’t know what to do.”

Mo Qianrui is no longer the original owner. Knowing how much Aniang has resentment towards Auntie and the others, she hurriedly helped to comfort her: "Aniang, don't worry, other things are fine, I am good at cooking."

"Hee hee, my sister is so bragging, she can't even start a fire well..." Erya who was drinking sweet tea suddenly interrupted, and Mo Qianrui was so angry that she wanted to go up and pat her twice.

"That's because the straw was wet a few days ago, and I'm very quick to start a fire today." Seeing that Erya still wanted to expose her background, Mo Qianrui threatened decisively, "Drink your tea, if you dare to Say bad things about me, and I won’t give you any good food in the future.”

The effect of this threat is immediate. For Erya, there is nothing more important than food.Hearing what Mo Qianrui said, Erya immediately covered her mouth with her free hand, and then nodded her head, making the whole family laugh with her small appearance.

After enjoying the cool air for a while, Mo Qianrui planned to go into the house to sleep. She was preoccupied with entering the portable space, so she ran into the house with excuses. The excuses were all ready-made, and she only said that she Diarrhea did not rest well.

When there was no sound from outside, Mo Qianrui quickly dodged into the space.

In the space, Tang Yanxiu sat on the stone bench in the small courtyard with staring eyes and an unhappy face. When Mo Qianrui came in, the expression on his face relaxed a little.

"Yan Xiu, listen to my explanation..." Before Tang Yanxiu could speak, Mo Qianrui quickly explained what happened in the past two days.

Tang Yanxiu was not an unreasonable person either. Hearing that she had encountered a chicken thief and was unlucky enough to eat a bad stomach, she couldn't bear to blame her anymore.However, there are many things that should be warned, especially about the message: "There is no message board in the space. If you can't come in here in the future, remember to explain the reason."

Reality is far apart, and this portable space is the only way for the two of them to communicate. Mo Qianrui knew the feeling of waiting, so she nodded obediently. In order to calm down Tang Yanxiu, she also specially imitated Erya's usual cute appearance .

"Ahem, that's fine, I have nothing more to say." Amused by Mo Qianrui's expression, Tang Yanxiu still subconsciously maintained his iceberg cool boy appearance, coughing lightly to cover up the smile on his lips, " What about you? Are there any troubles outside?"

Although Mo Qianrui told about the events of the past two days, he kept the fact that the chicken thief cousin asked to marry him a secret.The main reason was that Tang Yanxiu would be out of breath. After all, if it was the other way around, Mo Qianrui would be very annoyed.As for the troubles outside, apart from this matter, there are indeed many.

"The family I crossed is a rural farmhouse. The family is poor and the population is small. The wheat harvest will be harvested in a few days, and the family will not be able to spare any manpower. Do you think this is troublesome?" Tang Yanxiu has not yet answered, Mo Qianrui Then he continued, "At first I wanted to set up a barbecue stall every market, earn a little money to subsidize the family, but the source of this meat is very troublesome. I can also make some country caramel and sell it in the market. But because of the problem of insufficient cohesion, I can only make sweet tea, that's all, the preparation work is very tedious and time-consuming. And it happens to spread the wheat harvest... Sigh, why is it so difficult to make some money?"

Tang Yanxiu is not a person who is good at words, so he was taken aback by Mo Qianrui's big call.However, he soon figured it out.

"I can't do anything about wheat harvesting, but I remember when my grandfather was busy when I was young, he would ask the neighbors for help. Either give money, or help the other party cook some meals. It shouldn't be difficult to exchange meals for others' help with your craftsmanship."

Mo Qianrui's eyes lit up, yes, how could she forget this?In this village, there are strong and few laborers like the Mo family, but there are also some families that have strong labors but not enough people to cook.Harvesting wheat is hard work. If there is no good food, how can one have the strength to cut wheat?Besides, she has a simpler method, which is to use delicious food to attract Li Jialiniang. The Li family has many brothers, and Liniang is definitely willing to help her find delicious food.

"As for making money, I remember that there is not much time for wheat harvesting, and there is no time to be busy after the wheat harvest is over. The barbecue stand you mentioned, at worst, does not have barbecue. We used to go to the night market, didn't there be vegetables? Besides, you planted With so many sweet potatoes, it’s not bad to sell roasted sweet potatoes directly.”

"You can also roast corn, or potatoes, or eggplants?" Mo Qianrui was not stupid, but lacked the sense of innovation, and Tang Yanxiu figured it out quickly after a little poking around.

Tang Yanxiu nodded. He was only responsible for making some ideas, and Mo Qianrui had to complete the specific situation.After all, he doesn't know anything about cooking: "And that caramel, haven't you made it before? How did you solve the problem before?"

Mo Qianrui thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly: "Before? There were processed starch and other raw materials sold in the supermarket, which can save a lot of time. If you encounter the problem of insufficient viscosity, then add some additives. Thickener. If you think sugar fermentation is slow, you can put saccharification agent. If you are afraid of syrup precipitation, you can put emulsifier, as well as coloring agent to increase color, flavor enhancer to increase umami, flavor and saccharin to make sugar sweeter. If the sugar goes bad, you can also put preservatives...Yan Xiu, what's wrong with you?"

"I..." Tang Yanxiu's complexion turned pale, and it took him a long time to say, "Do you dare to say that I used to take chemicals?"

"This is normal. They are all edible food additives. By the way, there are also puffing agents used to make biscuits, and those used to make jelly..."

"Stop it, stop talking, do whatever you want, you don't need to tell me such details." Tang Yanxiu begged for mercy, and for a moment he felt that the kitchen was terrible, it was comparable to a chemical factory!
