Pastoral affairs

Of course, Cui Jingping hopes to learn a craft, so that he can survive without relying on Cui Wei for support in the future. If he can help his younger sister, that would be even better, but Cui Jingping is still a little hesitant He has been learning pastry for a year or two, but he still feels a little uneasy. He used to long for such a day, but when Cui Wei told him to let him go to Lin'an City, Cui Jingping felt a little uneasy again. Getting up, he hurriedly said: "Why don't I try again." It was not easy to open this shop. Cui Wei spent several years preparing for it. Cui Wei's trust.

"Third brother, don't worry, anyway, good or bad shops are all yours, you just treat yourself as making cakes for fun, isn't it the same when you are at home on weekdays, just treat those who come to buy food as Nie Er. Anyway, if people like it, they will come back, but if they don’t like it, anyway, the shop is my own, and I can’t lose anything, at most it’s just some flour, goat’s milk, etc. I have more.” There are at least a dozen or so sheep. Once the store opens, Cui Wei still wants to buy more sheep. There are plenty of materials at home, so she is naturally not afraid of Cui Jingping's waste.

As far as the money in Cui Wei's hands is concerned, even if it is not as much as that of Mr. Pan in Xiaowan Village, it is still a lot more than that of Yang's. Cui Wei took it before Nie Qiuran rushed to the exam. 50 taels of silver came out to him, and she kept about thirty taels for herself, and now she spent about twenty taels in total to build the shop, and now she doesn't seem to have much silver left in her hand.But the flour and other things sold in Xiaowan Village are already cheap, and the eggs are all produced by the farmers themselves, and you can buy a lot for a few hundred copper coins. The only thing that is more expensive is honey, but no matter how expensive honey is, there is no cake Expensive, after all, although it is hard to find, it is always available, but only Cui Wei can make cakes.

Her cake was sent to Lin's house.Those who want to come to the Lin family have never thought about making this thing by themselves. After all, there is still a lot of money to buy flowers every time, but Cui Wei believes that without her own teaching, they will never be able to make exactly the same things When it comes out, it’s not just about adjusting the flour ratio and heat.There are also tasks such as making butter. Cui Jingping has been studying for two years now, and the ones he makes are still not as beautiful as Cui Wei's.Cui Wei's cake is the only one, which is why the Lin family has been asking her to buy these snacks for several years!

Hearing what she said, Cui Jingping really felt a little more confident about how his family was doing.Yang and the others couldn't figure it out. People in the village only thought that Cui Wei had some sheep and a house.But Cui Jingping knows exactly how much money and wealth Cui Wei has. Not to mention other things, that piece of land alone is already worth a lot of money. Some flour used to cost a lot to make , Now if I can really make cakes and sell them.In the future, it can be regarded as helping Cui Wei, Cui Jingping is unwilling to always rely on his sister to support him.So he hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "I listen to my sister, but my sister, if I leave, who will take care of these sheep? Even if Nie Er can help you mow some grass now, but if I'm not at home, I'm afraid that someone will gossip." Cui Jingping hesitated again when he talked about it later, on the one hand, he was able to get ahead and start a career, but on the other hand, he was a little worried about Cui Wei, and he was also afraid that if he left Yang and Sun and others Came here to trouble Cui Wei, once the words were spoken, his expression became tangled again.

"Third brother, don't worry! I will be able to open a household in another year. Look at how much time is left before the Chinese New Year? It's still a few months away, not even half a year. Once I turn 13 and open a household At that time, no one can make up my mind." Cui Wei comforted Cui Jingping with a smile. In fact, if Cui Jingping wanted to go to the city, she would not bear it. They are dependent on each other, she has seen Cui Jingping grow up and gradually become sensible now, she doesn't want Cui Jingping to go to the city, but she can't bear to let Cui Jingping go on like this for the rest of her life.

If she doesn't have a skill, then she will kill him. Cui Jingping, an upright man, probably doesn't want her to pay for him forever. If he becomes like Cui Jingzhong, I'm afraid he won't He would be happy, not to mention that if Cui Jingping could support himself, that would be really beneficial to him.The two brothers and sisters talked for a while, in fact it was still early to open the shop, but as they talked, both of them became a little sad, Cui Wei sat for a while and went to the kitchen to cook some gnocchi for herself, and washed the dishes It was pitch black outside after that.

All the lights in Xiaowan Village have been turned off, and the villagers have already fallen asleep. Cui Wei is thinking of cutting some pineapples and making cakes for Cui Jingzhong, and she also wants to make these fruits into jam. Cui Jingzhong can't make cream and other things, but if he can add jam or juice to the candy, it won't be so greasy when eating, and adding juice flavor can also make the candy more types.

The two brothers and sisters locked the door and walked towards the orchard carrying an unlit lantern. Both of them carried a backpack on their backs. When they passed by Cui's house, they could clearly hear the snoring of people coming from Cui's house.The wall of the orchard is more than one foot high, and the inside and outside of the wall are covered with sharp bowl fragments and stones. The only path leads directly to the gate, but the gate is locked tightly. He had already left the key before leaving, and because the guards of the garden were usually reluctant to go out, many people in Xiaowan Village didn't know about it.Cui Wei took the key to unlock the heavy door lock of the orchard, and pushed the door open with all her might.

Inside, there are neat saplings that have grown to about one foot long, and each sapling is about two steps apart. Nuo Da’s orchard can be seen under the moonlight, and the surrounding area seems to be so big that you can’t see the edge. , There is an empty space of about fifty square meters in the middle, where there is a hut, a well and other tools.The pineapples are being planted on the right side. A field in Nuo Da is densely planted with pineapples. The person who was invited to take care of the orchard was honest and honest. He took good care of the orchard. In order to avoid suspicion, Cui Wei hardly ever looked this way, but occasionally heard a few words from Nie Qiuran. Now, once she came to the orchard, she saw that there were few weeds everywhere, and she felt a sense of emotion in her heart. satisfy.

Cui Jingping took the fire folder and lit the lantern in his hand, and took out a kitchen knife from the back bag respectively. Cui Wei ran a few steps, squatted by the pineapple field, and stretched out his hand to touch the slightly hard knife. Ci'er felt a little joy in her heart.

I took a closer look with a lantern and saw that most of these pineapples were ripe, yellow-orange, even if there were some green ones, but they were only a few.Cui Jingping grows up so big, and has never seen such a rare thing before, so he feels it is extremely fresh, and at the same time he doesn't know what to do, Cui Wei simply grabs these pineapple leaves and cuts them at the root of the pineapple with a knife. Cui Jingping said: "Third brother, look at how to cut it so that it won't be cut!"

While she was talking, Cui Jingping stared nervously at her palm, but although Cui Wei said it was easy, Cui Jingping was already nervous, so he cut off the head with a knife, and then cut into the pineapple meat, the aroma of the pineapple The son popped up all of a sudden, and Cui Jingping's hands were full!He subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked the palm of his hand, his eyes lit up all of a sudden: "It's so licking!"

Seeing how happy he was licking, Cui Wei couldn't help but reached out and touched some pineapple juice at the incision of the pineapple, followed by a lick, and nodded in surprise.The few acres of land that Mr. Pan sold are really good farmland. I don’t know if it’s because the pineapple seeds bought at a high price from Fanbang are particularly good, or because the water and soil in Xiaowan Village are special for raising people. Not to mention one is attractive, and the taste is also sweet, only one was cut, but the unique fragrance of pineapple wafts through both of them.There was no sour taste at all, so Cui Jingping simply cut out the chopped pineapple, broke it apart by himself, and handed half of it to Cui Wei, saying: "Sister, try it too." As he spoke, he was already gulping I ate it.

Cui Wei took a bite of the small half of the pineapple. It was juicy but full of flesh, and it didn't even feel sour after biting it. If the fruits are all of this kind, I am afraid that the pineapple will be used to make jam, and it will be sweet enough without adding honey!The two brothers and sisters didn't care about harvesting the pineapple anymore, so they decided to eat half of it first. The pineapple juice flowed all over the palms of their hands. After eating the pineapple in their hands, only the outer skin was left to wipe their mouths , Cui Jingping went to fetch water by himself and came over to wash Cui Wei's hands, and then the two began to cut.

With the experience of being cut, Cui Jingping became more careful when cutting pineapples. It seems that there are no less than a thousand pineapples all over the ground. After leaving the orchard, Cui Wei locked the door and looked around for no one, and then took Cui Jingping and the two back home.

The two of them had just eaten a pineapple, and now they were very excited, Cui Wei saw that Cui Jingping liked it, so she simply asked him to take one and peel it to eat.It's just that the pineapple doesn't have special tools to peel it, but it's not easy to peel it. Cui Jingping peeled the pineapple juice all over his hands, and a little impatient, he just cut the pineapple in half and ate it by himself. No, just throw the skin aside.After eating so much fruit, Cui Jingping hiccupped, but Cui Wei felt a headache looking at the pineapples all over the floor.The things are brought back, but they have to be peeled to make jam, but if you just use a knife to peel the skin, the surface of the pineapple is inherently uneven, and it is a bit troublesome to pick and peel one by one. Cui Wei thought of the utensils that people used to peel the pineapple when she ate pineapples in her previous life, but unfortunately she couldn't make such a thing for a while, Cui Wei frowned, looking at these pineapples a little bit worried .

ps: The second update~~~ If you are grateful, I will send it to the next chapter or later.

Regarding the issue of pineapples, because July is also the ripening season, so at this time, I actually forgot to write about the process of hiring someone to take care of it at the beginning, and I forgot to mention a word, but I have mentioned it in one stroke, and everyone will see the result. . .
