Strong wife likes farming

Chapter 18 Jam
Luo Qingyi fell asleep quickly with her body in her arms, Yun Xin was tired from walking on the mountain, and soon fell asleep, Yun Shu was not so lucky.

Lying on the kang tossing and turning, she couldn't fall asleep, and listening to the cicadas calling outside from time to time, she couldn't fall asleep even more.

But it was the hottest time outside at this moment, if she went out to work, she would definitely not be able to, so she simply closed her eyes and counted sheep.

I don't know how long it took, Yun Shu suddenly opened his eyes with a jerk, Yun Xin was still asleep, and Luo Qingyi was already sitting on the kang, mending clothes.

Seeing her wake up, Luo Qingyi smiled and whispered, "Are you awake? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Yun Shu was taken aback. It turned out that he just fell asleep!It's strange, I've never taken a nap before, but I didn't expect to fall asleep today!

"Don't sleep."

Creeping up, Yun Shu sat across from Luo Qingyi, looked at the whitish gray cloth dress in her hand and said, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"Mother sees that the sleeves of your clothes are short, so I'll make you a new one."

It is said to be new, but in fact it is just changed with Luo Qingyi's old clothes.

Looking down at her clothes that showed half of her wrist, Yun Shu said: "Mother, when the Yun family gets the severance letter, I plan to go to the town to do a small business. You can save the five taels of silver if you want to save it." Get up, but we have to live on in the future, your belly is getting bigger and bigger, and you will have another person to eat in the family, so you must not think of ways to make money."

Luo Qingyi paused for a while when she sewed clothes, her voice choked up: "But..."

"Mom, I know you don't trust me as a girl going to the town to do business, but don't worry, there are many people in our village who have dried fish and shrimps to sell in the town? I'll go with them, Everyone will be fine if you take care of them, don’t you think?”

Luo Qingyi was still worried: "Mother, let's go to the town with you. You're going so far with a girl, so I really can't worry about it."

The town is different from Yunshui Village, there are not many people in the village, and everyone knows almost everyone.But there are many people in the town, what if something happens and no one will help?
"Mom, you've been here for six months, how come you go to town with me! The journey is extremely bumpy. If something happens to you and your brother, I won't be able to make up for it no matter how much I earn!"

This time Yun Shu didn't intend to compromise: "Okay, it's settled, Sister-in-law Lin and I will go to the town to sell things, and you and Xin'er will stay at home and wait, and don't go anywhere."

Luo Qingyi wanted to say something else, but Yun Shu had already got off the kang and put on her shoes to go out, so she didn't give her a chance to speak again.

Looking at the small but extremely firm and stubborn back, Luo Qingyi was stunned for a moment.This child is really more and more like her father.

The grass in the vegetable garden hadn't been tidied up, Yun Shu stretched her waist, picked up the hoe and walked into the vegetable garden.

When passing by the wooden shelf, when I accidentally glanced at the round pimples drying in the big basket, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.

Yun Shu's eyes lit up, and he immediately threw the hoe away!
It really didn't take much effort to find a place after breaking through the iron shoes. She was just wondering what to sell in the town to make money, and now she has an idea!
These round pimples are bright red and translucent, and taste sweet and sour, very delicious.

The point is that many people have never eaten this. If you make this round pimple into jam and sell it in the town, maybe you can sell it for a good price?
Just do it, Yun Shu first went to the kitchen to look for it, she remembered that she found rock sugar in a jar before.

Sure enough, the jar was placed in an inconspicuous place in the corner, but there was not much rock sugar in it, Yun Shu poured them out to have a look, guessing that he should be able to make a small pot of jam first.

If it sells well, she will go to the town to buy more rock candy.As for the round pimples, there are plenty of them on the back mountain. As long as she doesn't tell me, who can guess that this sweet and sour jam is made of the round pimples that everyone hates?

The round pimples have been in the sun for a whole day, and they are a little wilted now, but it should not be a problem to make jam.

Yun Shu washed her hands, washed the pimples again, and put them in a large pot to cook.The round pimples were already juicy, but when she stirred them with a spoon, they all rotted. Soon, there was a puddle of bright red juice in the pot.

"Now just put the rock sugar in."

Talking to himself, Yun Shu threw the crushed rock sugar into the pot, and slowly stirred it with a spoon again.

The more the jam is boiled, the thicker it will be. If you stop stirring, it will definitely stick to the pot and become burnt.

The more the water was boiled, the less it was, and the jam began to thicken. Yun Shu had already removed a lot of firewood from the stove sugar, and cooked it with only a little bit of residual heat.

But even so, the jam was still bubbling, and even after some bubbles burst, a small amount of juice splashed onto Yun Shu's arm and face.

hiss!
Gasping for air in pain, Yun Shu casually grabbed a piece of clean cloth to wrap his hands, and moved his face back as much as possible.

If she really wants to make money by cooking this in the future, she has to prepare a long-handled spoon first, otherwise she will be scalded into a roast suckling pig after the jam is cooked!

The jam was ready soon, and Yun Shu couldn't find a suitable small jar for the time being, so he put all the jam into a large clean bowl first.

A basket full of round pimples, in the end only two bowls of jam were made, the output is really too low.

"Sister, what did you do to this?"

Yun Xin's voice sounded behind her.

Yun Shu couldn't help laughing: "You stinky girl, why is your nose so good? Every time I cook something delicious, you are the first to come over and say, have you become a puppy? No, you It should be the little greedy cat who has changed."

Being teased by her sister, Xiao Yunxin scratched her head shyly and laughed.

Luo Qingyi was also attracted by her daughter's movement, looking at the bright red cauldron, and then at the two big bowls full of sticky and steaming things, she was also very curious: "Shu'er, what did you do? What is this? I see that the round lumps in the yard are gone, this, could it be made of round lumps?"

"Round lump? So sour?"

As soon as she heard that it was a round pimple, Yun Xin's interest suddenly decreased by three points.

Yun Shu poked her forehead amusedly, nodded and said, "Yes, this is made of lumps. But I added some rock sugar into it. As for the taste, I haven't tasted it yet, so I don't know if it's good or not. Xin'er, why don't you be the first to try it?"

When Yun Xin heard this, she turned around and hid behind Luo Qingyi: "I don't want to taste it! It's so sour, it doesn't taste good at all!"

She still hasn't forgotten the sour taste of round lumps. Just watching Luo Qingyi eat this thing this morning, she was sour!

"You child!"

Luo Qingyi sneered, and took the spoon in Yun Shu's hand: "Do you want to go to the town to sell this? Mother should try it!"

As he spoke, he picked a little jam with his fingers and put it in his mouth.

"Mom, is it sour?"

Yun Xin looked at her cautiously, her whole face wrinkled into a ball.

Luo Qingyi blinked, very pleasantly surprised: "It's not sour, not sour at all. It tastes much better after adding rock sugar than eating pimples alone!"

Even a pregnant woman would feel a little sour if she ate only round pimples, but this jam has no sour taste at all, and it is very delicious.

"I want to try it too!"

Yun Xin held up her little hands, jumping up and down, wishing she could quickly stuff the spoon into her mouth.

Luo Qingyi fed her a little with a smile, and sure enough, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked.

"Shu'er, you haven't answered your mother yet, do you want to take this to the town to sell?"

Yun Shu nodded seriously: "Yes, mother. There is a large area behind the round lump, and no one wants it at all. I made it into jam, which is different. Besides, this jam is easy to preserve, and you can eat it even if it is cold , if you take it to the town to sell, even if you can’t sell it all in one day, you can still sell it the next day!”

But there is also a problem, that is, there is no small jar for jam.

"Mom, do we have any small jars at home? I'm sure the two big bowls of jam won't be sold to just one person. I'm afraid that the guests will not want them if they can't take them away."

Luo Qingyi frowned and thought about it: "This kind of small pot must be the same, otherwise the guests will be unhappy. But our family doesn't have any, and our village doesn't have any."

She looked at the spoon that Yun Xin was holding, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration: "That's right! We don't need jars anymore, so you take this spoon with you. If someone buys jam, you sell it spoon by spoon. You are like them." Don’t sellers of vinegar and oil also ask customers to bring their own jars to buy?”

yes!How did she forget this?
