Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 74
When the peaches are too much to eat, it is a common method used by the villagers to make canned peaches.

Some fresh fruits only have a short shelf life, and it is impossible to eat these fruits all at once. If you don’t know how to make good use of them, a lot of things will be wasted.

Canning peaches is easy and, of course, healthy and nutritious.The most important thing is that there are no additives or any unknown substances in the ones made by yourself, so you can eat them with confidence.

First boil a pot of rock sugar water, that is, add rock sugar to the water, boil it, and then let it cool for later use.

Then clean the hairs on the peaches, break them apart, remove the cores, peel off the skins, put them in glass jars, and drizzle them with rock sugar water that has just cooled down.

Remove the core first, and then peel the peaches, so that the peaches can only be exposed to the air for the shortest time, so as to avoid being oxidized and yellowed, which is unsightly.

Peaches packed in glass jars are soaked in rock sugar water, so they cannot touch the air and will not turn yellow.

After a dozen peaches are processed, put the glass jars in the pot and steam them.

After peeling more than a dozen peaches, they filled five small glass jars.Anyway, if you do it once, you can eat it several times.

The peaches in glass jars are steamed for 15 minutes with water, and the lids are sealed while they are hot. This is done, and it is not difficult at all.

When it is cool, you can put it in the refrigerator, and you can open it when you want to eat it.It is said that as long as it is not opened, it will not be broken for 2 years.

Of course, with Cheng Xinxin's foodie nature, these 5 bottles of canned peaches would not last for 2 years no matter what.

The remaining peaches can be made into peach wine.

This is authentic fruit wine!It is said that women like it the most. Drinking it can beautify the skin and improve the quality of sleep.

Cheng He remembers that he accidentally saw an article saying that the annual global alcohol trade volume reached hundreds of billions, which included liquor, beer, rice wine, red wine, and purple wine.

Hundreds of billions of transactions!

If fruit wine can seize a part of the market, not to mention a lot, even if it occupies 20% of the market, it will be tens of billions!
It can be said that fruit wine should still be a promising industry.But in China, the fruit wine market has not been discovered yet.

There are often various wine tasting parties abroad, and they are very formal.It is the frequent holding of such activities that expand people's awareness of fruit wine and gradually form a market.

However, these are only popular in a few circles in China, and have not formed a market scale.

Cheng He felt a little pity that he could only enjoy such a good thing alone.

It is not difficult to make fruit wine at home. After washing the peaches, cut them open with a knife, remove the core, put them in a large jar, and then drown them in sugar water.

Then add some fruit wine yeast.These can be bought in the market, and basically every household always has them.After two or three days, if you can feel some changes in the bubbles in the jar, it means that it is already fermenting.

Then start to add some sucrose to the jar every day to increase the sweetness.After a few days, you can smell the alcohol concentration inside is increasing.

But the final product can only be tasted after at least two months.

Fruit wine has a higher alcohol content than beer, usually up to 18 degrees. It tastes like alcohol, but not intoxicating, and its nutrition is also very good.

In fact, according to Cheng He's prediction, Chinese people are now paying more and more attention to health preservation, and various health supplements are becoming more and more popular, and the market for fruit wine may also become larger and larger.

But it will probably take a few years to form a mature sales model.

It was the first time he brewed this kind of fruit wine by himself. Cheng He was worried that it would not be successful enough, so he injected some halos into the peaches on a whim to give some blessings.

Since this golden circle is good for animals and people, I don't know if it is good for wine making.Never mind, try it anyway.

Cheng He was busy cutting and peeling the peaches, and Cheng Xinxin was not idle either. She kept stuffing the peeled peaches into her mouth, eating them with great enjoyment.

While they were busy with each other, Napoleon, who was guarding the door, yelled "Aww", not knowing who was coming again.

Cheng He turned his head to look, and it was the village head who came.

Cheng Hongyuan yelled at Napoleon: "What kind of dog is this! I don't even know me anymore, barking again and again, I'll boil you!"

Napoleon looked unkind, and shouted louder.

Cheng Hongyuan saw that the dog was quite fierce, so he didn't dare to force his way in, so he had to shout loudly outside the yard: "Heizi, it's me!"

Cheng He laughed and said, "Napoleon, come here, let him in."

Only then did Napoleon get out of the way with his tail between his legs, but his eyes were still fixed on Cheng Hongyuan, wary of him.

Cheng Hongyuan was so angry that he pointed at it and said fiercely: "You ignorant bastard! Don't you know who I am? Keep barking and barking, be careful that I will stew you."

Cheng He laughed loudly and said, "Second Uncle, don't point your fingers at it. If it gets angry and jumps up and bites you, what do you say?"

Cheng Hongyuan snorted and withdrew his hand.

Then seeing Cheng He busy making peach wine, he said enviously, "You went to the mountains to pick peaches? Isn't it not easy to carry dozens of catties back?"

Cheng He chuckled.

Cheng Hongyuan didn't want to suffer, but he coveted peach wine very much, and said, "Peach wine is not bad! Your second aunt will like this one. When the wine is ready, let your second aunt try it?"

Cheng He knew that this was a stingy and cheap master, and he was ashamed to speak up wherever there was a cheap one.

He asked: "Second Uncle, you always go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, what's the matter this time?"

Cheng Hongyuan said: "Oh, that's it. Aren't you always asking me about the rebuilding of the village primary school? Now, the higher authorities have arranged for a support teacher to come, and the primary school can almost be rebuilt. Tomorrow, you go to the city , Bring the teacher back."

I really didn't expect that the reconstruction of the primary school had progressed.

Cheng He was puzzled, and asked, "Second Uncle, why am I picking it up? I just came back, and I don't have a car at home. You let me walk to the city, and then carry the teacher back?"

Someone in the village has a car. Although the car is not good, it is better than him!

Cheng Hongyuan became unhappy: "Look, look, you people are like this. If I don't run errands for you, you blame me. Now the teacher is coming, let me pick it up, and you keep pushing. The teacher can speak, and I will ask you to pick it up."

Cheng He was even more puzzled: "Second uncle, who is this teacher? Why did you name me to pick it up? How do people know my name?"

He didn't trust the words of the village chief.This guy must have said it casually so that he couldn't refuse.

He is just an ordinary villager, even if he won the "Brave for Justice" pennant two days ago, it was just a bustle at the gate, he didn't even get a bonus, let alone interviewed by reporters, he couldn't be so famous!
Who will know his name?

Cheng Hongyuan said: "The teacher's name is Zhao Sizai, how do I know why someone named you to pick him up? Could it be your classmate or something?"

Cheng He recalled carefully that none of his classmates had this name.

He didn't believe the village chief's words at all, and it was impossible for the teacher to name him to pick him up.

After sending the village chief away, he went to talk to Cheng Shi.He has a motorcycle and it is convenient to go to the city, so let him pick it up.

Cheng Shi didn't say anything, and drove his motorcycle to the city the next day.

When he arrived at the city bus station, he held up a big sign with the words "Zhao Sizai" written on it.

He was a little puzzled, is it a man or a woman with this name?
After waiting for an hour, a graceful and graceful figure came over.

When Cheng Shi saw it, he almost had a nosebleed - this goddess is really the best in the world!

This is a young girl, dressed very stylishly, with a wavy hairstyle, a fair face, and heavy makeup, just like the stars on TV.

The most important thing is the girl's dress, it's really refreshing!

Wearing a short vest and short jeans, her slender waist was exposed, and she could clearly see the vest line, her round belly button, and her white and tender thighs.

The girl stepped on high-heeled shoes, walked over with slender legs, took off her sunglasses, looked at Cheng Shi, and said, "I am Zhao Sizai. Why did you pick me up? Where is Cheng He? Didn't he pick me up?" Is he not here?"

The sound is crisp and pleasant.

Cheng Shi's throat tightened for a while, he swallowed dryly, and said, "He...he's at home...he...he asked me to pick up...the teacher..."

A simple sentence, there is no way to say it smoothly.

The girl smiled slightly, and looked at him like a fool, then took out a lace shirt cover from her bag, put it on her body, and buttoned it.

The lace shirt covered her vest line and a section of her big white legs, but lace was originally just a thin shirt, so wearing it like this revealed a charming style.

Cheng Shi didn't know where to put his eyes, and kept his head down.

Then he smelled a fragrance, the motorcycle sank slightly, and the girl got on his car lightly.

　Thank you for your votes!thank you very much!
