After rebirth, the cheapskate just wants to farm

Chapter 33 Make a Strawberry Jam
Sure enough, as Xie Wuyu expected, several people went up the mountain with Xie Gui the next day. Xie Wuyu took a quick look and found that there were about seven or eight families in total, two or three people from each family.

Xie Wuyu was speechless for a while, this posture was intended to bald the strawberries and seedlings together.

She originally thought that even if everyone in the village knew about it, she would be able to persist for a while, but judging by the current situation, it is estimated that the strawberry field will be hurt this time.Xie Wuyu had no choice but to tell Mrs. Li to pick as many strawberries as possible, and they still owed the Gu family dozens of catties of strawberries.

Before noon, Xie Gui and Li Shi came back.

At that time, Xie Wuyu was planning to cook lunch. As soon as he grabbed a handful of vegetables, he saw the husband and wife came back with strawberries on their backs. At the same time, those people who came down from the mountain all had excited smiles on their faces. If he had to see something, Xie Wuyu felt that "I'm going to get rich" was clearly written on their faces.

Xie Wuyu shook his head helplessly, the price might not be very optimistic if so many were shipped out at once, and there is no chance to make a lot of money.

Xie Wuyou saw his parents came back, he trotted into the house and took out the kettle to pour water for the two of them, Li Shi held the cup and drank a few cups before resting, Xie Gui despised the small cup for not being enjoyable , Walked a few steps to the water tank and took a ladle to scoop water to drink.

Xie Wuyu leaned over and asked, "Father, what's the situation on the mountain?"

Xie Gui wiped the water stains on his mouth: "What else could it be? It's all over! I saw that many people even broke the seedlings. I said a few words to them, but no one listened."

Xie Wuyu had already guessed that such a situation would happen, so he didn't think it was too surprising, but it was a pity that such a good piece of land was ruined like this.

If it wasn't for Xiao Ye, she wouldn't know there was such a wild strawberry field hidden in the mountains.At this time, I am very glad that they have planted strawberries in the backyard.

After lunch, Xie Wuyu went to accompany Xiao Ye for a while, seeing that he was still timid, he felt a little uncomfortable.She had never seen her benefactor so insecure, and felt mixed feelings and a little sour for a moment.All the thoughts of nurturing the benefactor at the beginning disappeared for a while. She felt that since the benefactor was so insecure, she must give him enough sense of security, let him grow up in love, and eliminate the need for the world. tension.

Determined to pay attention, Xie Wuyu even asked Xiao Ye how he was, and even spoke softly on purpose, for fear that his benefactor's fragile heart would be frightened by being a bit serious and blunt.

Xiao Ye was seriously injured, and Xie Wuyu was also afraid that using too much spiritual spring would make people suspicious, so he didn't dare to use too much, and could only take a small cloth towel and dip some water to gently wipe the wound.

When Xiao Ye fell asleep, when Xie Wuyu went out, he saw Xie Wuyou looking at him resentfully.

Xie Wuyu paused the hand holding the basin, and asked her suspiciously: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Sister, you are so partial." Xie Wuyou said quietly, "I am still your own sister, but you are so kind to Xiao Ye."

She swung her arms and said, "I don't accept it, I don't accept it, why should my sister be more serious to me?"

Xie Wuyu snorted softly, and walked past her with a basin in his hand: "Are you ashamed to say, are you so obedient and well-behaved?"

Xie Wuyou chased after him: "Where am I not obedient? Where am I not obedient? Obviously, I used to say that people are the pistachio of the family before, why has it changed now?"

After she finished speaking, she still felt aggrieved, and complained loudly to Xie Gui for support: "Daddy! Are you right about what I said? Before, my sister said that I was a pistachio, but now I despise him again. How can you Testify to me, sister, did she say such a thing?"

Xie Guizheng and Mrs. Li were neatly stacking the strawberries transported from the mountain today into the baskets. He had been holding back his laughter when he heard what the two sisters said, but now that he was nominated suddenly, he couldn't hold back anymore. He stopped laughing as if he had asthma. Take a moment: "Ah? What did you say? Dad didn't hear clearly."

Xie Wuyou thought that he really didn't hear clearly, so he pursed his mouth aggrievedly, and deliberately repeated what he said just now.

Xie Gui couldn't help laughing: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, your sister said it's fine."

Xie Wuyou was even more confident when he had someone to back him up. He put his two small arms on his chubby waist, puffed up his face and complained very aggrieved and very reasonable: "Sister, did you hear me? I'm still not your cute sister." ?”

Xie Wuyu looked at Xie Wuyou after pouring the water, and wanted to laugh: "Then what do you want?"

"..." Xie Wuyou's expression was blank for a moment, she didn't really think about it, she just felt that there was a little prick in her heart, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and said a little weakly: "Then, are you Do you have to make it up to me?"

Xie Wuyu lowered his eyes and smiled indulgently. After thinking for a while, the corner of his eye happened to glance at the strawberries in the basket that hadn't been stacked yet, and he readily agreed: "Okay, how about I make you some jam?"

Xie Wuyou was stunned: "Ah? What is jam?"

"It's delicious." Xie Wuyu wiped his hands and walked over to pat her on the head, "You'll know when you make it."

This time, Xie Gui and the others did snatch a lot of strawberries from the hands of everyone, about seventy to eighty catties.

Because I was going to deliver strawberries to Gu's family the day after tomorrow, I specially freed up [-] catties and put them neatly in another basket, planning to deliver them to others first when I went to the county.

Of the remaining thirty catties, five catties were sent to the old house, and the other five catties were sent to her village chief’s grandfather’s house, so the family can actually keep only about twenty catties.

Xie Wuyu picked some that were not good looking, about five catties, Li Shi was a little curious: "What kind of jam do you really want to make?"

Xie Wuyu nodded: "Well, the jam can be stored for a longer time, otherwise so many strawberries will go bad if they are left at home, so you can eat it slowly when you make it into jam."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li felt that what her daughter said must be correct, so she looked at the remaining [-] catties of strawberries and said, "Then you might as well do all of these, so as not to waste it."

Xie Wuyu smiled helplessly: "Auntie, you haven't seen the jam before, so leave it all to me, aren't you afraid I'll screw it up?"

Li said with a smile: "If you screw it up, you screw it up. What is there for nothing? Just be happy."

"..." Xie Wuyu, she really wanted to say, the child can't be spoiled like this, it will be spoiled.

Since their family moved in, a lot of things have been added to the kitchen. There are rock sugar, fine granulated sugar and so on. Unfortunately, there is no lemon, so she can only use white vinegar instead, and I will add a little less later. OK.

Wash the strawberries and remove the stalks, cut them into small pieces on the chopping board, put them in a basin and sprinkle with fine sugar to marinate for a while, and finally put them in a pot with rock sugar and cook until there are no formed pieces.

Making jam is not a difficult task. In her previous life, she worked part-time in a bakery for a period of time. That shop paid attention to handcrafted enjoyment, so she was often sent to temporarily make jams such as strawberry jam and blueberry jam for backup.

Gathering his mind, Xie Wuyu stood in front of the stove and recalled the scene of making jam in his previous life, holding a long-handled wooden spoon in his hand and stirring carefully, a thick red liquid appeared in the big black iron pot Bubbles bubbled up.

After looking at Xie Wuyou calmly, two drops of green water secretly dripped from his fingertips.

Xie Wuyou watched the fire boredly below, and after a while, there was a strong smell of sweet strawberry jam gushing out from the kitchen. It also smelled more intense sweetness, Xie Wuyou froze for a moment, moved the tip of his nose, his eyes widened.

She threw down the firewood in her hand, leaned on the stove and looked at the strawberry jam in the pot and couldn't help drooling, "It's so fragrant, sweet, sister, you are so amazing." At this time, don't forget to pat the horse fart.

Xie Wuyou quietly glanced at his sister's serious expression, and secretly wiped it with his fingers and stuffed it into his mouth when the person turned around. From the tip of the tongue to the whole mouth, it was quickly filled with a sweet and sour taste.Squinting his eyes and then opening them again, when Xie Wuyou wanted to put his hand into the pot again, Xie Wuyu slapped it away.

"You haven't washed your hands yet."

Xie Wuyou smiled flatteringly, and turned around like a little bee behind Xie Wuyu.

After cooking, Xie Wuyu asked Li Shi for a clay pot, and stuffed the jam into it with a spoon, these were reserved for the family to eat.

There was still some left in the pot, so Xie Wuyu went to the backyard to find bamboo and cut it into a tube shape, put the remaining jam in the pot and sealed it immediately, intending to bring it to Xie Wuji who was studying in the county.

She originally estimated that there would be about two tubes left in the pot, but since she had never used such a stove, she miscalculated the depth of the pot, and finally filled four bamboo tubes with a little left.

There wasn't much left, only about half a bowl, so Xie Wuyu simply poured it into the bowl and let Xie Wuyou dig it with a small spoon.

Li Shi looked at the jams that were placed on the stove one by one, and was a little worried: "Will this be too much, Wuji can't finish it all by himself."

Xie Wuyu's heart moved: "Why don't you give some to the first cousin and the second cousin, one can for each person, two cans for Wuji, that's just right."

Mrs. Li thought it was pretty good, and nodded Xie Wuyu's forehead: "It's hard for you to still think about your cousins."

After cooking porridge at night, the family put jam into the tasteless white porridge, and the taste of the porridge instantly improved a lot, especially for Li Shi and Xie Wuyou, who love sweets, their appetite increased a lot.

Xie Wuyou was completely overwhelmed by the jam, and she never thought that there would be such a harvest. After eating, she spread it out on the chair, stroked her swollen belly contentedly, and said with a happy face, "Sister, you are the best girl in the world." sister."

Xie Wuyu laughed, and went to Xiao Ye's house with porridge mixed with strawberry jam.

Of course, Xie Wuyou thought the jam was delicious, but she didn't forget to add a few drops of spiritual spring water into the jam when she boiled it.This has almost become her habit. After coming to this world, she is used to dripping a few drops in everything.
