Chapter 112 Making Fruit Canned Goods

When Su Nuannuan returned home, she handed over the red bean paste mooncakes, peach shortbread, and persimmons that Zhou Yinglan had given her to Chen Xiuting.

These next few days, Su Nuannuan plans to take a break and enjoy herself at home.

In the evening, Chen Xiuting made stewed cured pork with potatoes. After dinner, everyone went about their own business. The three Su brothers continued their studies, while Chen Xiuting made a cotton-padded coat for Su Nuannuan to wear in winter.

Beijing is different from Heilongjiang Province; people there dress very respectably, and the brightly colored cotton-padded jackets from Heilongjiang Province are considered very impractical there. Therefore, Chen Xiuting plans to make two light-colored cotton-padded jackets for Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan did not refuse. Although she had a lot of warm clothes in her space, these could only be worn as the innermost layer, and she still needed to wear an inconspicuous layer on top.

Although winters in Beijing are not as cold as in Heilongjiang Province, the lack of heated brick beds (kang) in Beijing makes winters particularly difficult to endure.

Su Nuannuan hopes that the school can start winter break early before the cold winter months arrive. That way, Su Nuannuan can go back to Heilongjiang Province to hibernate.

"Mom, after I go back this time, I'll only come back during winter break. You and Dad, don't forget to gather plenty of firewood in the winter. I'll be back."

Chen Xiuting, who was sewing clothes, didn't look up but loudly echoed.

"understood."

Seeing Chen Xiuting busy making clothes, Su Nuannuan went back to her own room.

After returning, Su Nuannuan turned around and entered the space.

Looking at the fruit trees she had planted in the space, some of which had already sprouted young fruit, Su Nuannuan felt a headache coming on.

If the fruits in the space are not picked after they ripen, they will not continue to be active, but will gradually wither and turn into nutrients for the space.

Therefore, Su Nuannuan is now worried because there are too many fruits growing in her space, and she can't consume them all.

Storing everything in the warehouse isn't a solution. Warehouse space is limited, and it will eventually fill up.

Therefore, Su Nuannuan is trying to figure out how to solve this problem.

In addition to the fruit, the watermelons, grapes and strawberries planted earlier have ripened again, and the warehouse is now piled high with these three kinds of fruit.

These fruits cannot be taken out openly, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion.

Su Nuannuan didn't want to throw them away. These fruits, grown in the space, were nourished by spiritual energy and were very beneficial to people's health.

After thinking about it, Su Nuannuan decided to can them all.

Coincidentally, in her previous life, she rented a canning machine from a foreign machine rental website, which is still stored in the space's warehouse.

I don't know if it will work?
With that in mind, Su Nuannuan went to the warehouse where the machinery was stored and began to search for it using her mental power.

The machine was found in a corner.

This machine is called a filling machine. It can fill food ingredients into containers and then seal them.

In addition to the filling machine, Su Nuannuan also found a slicer and washing equipment to use with it. These are all things Su Nuannuan needs for making canned goods.

Upon seeing these three machines, a smile appeared in Su Nuannuan's eyes.

She can't openly take out fruit, but canned food is fine!

These days, canned food is like a fashion item; even slightly well-off families can afford it. If she canned all the fruit and then gave it away, it wouldn't seem out of place.

Moreover, these canned goods can be sent to my eldest and second eldest sisters in Zhejiang Province. Eating these canned goods will help improve their health.

With this in mind, Su Nuannuan became even more determined to make canned goods.

However, we have the raw materials and machinery, but what we lack are containers for packaging the fruit.

Most commercially available canned fruit containers are made of glass. Su Nuannuan didn't plan to be special. She also intended to use glass jars for canning.

The only problem now is where to get the glass jars. She needs a large quantity, so she needs to order them from a place that specializes in glass production.

Su Nuannuan felt she still needed to ask Su Jianjun.

Moreover, she had already come up with a reason. There was plenty of fruit at home; she could make it into canned fruit and send it to her eldest and second eldest sisters. Her parents would definitely be interested.

Thinking of this, Su Nuannuan came out of the room.

Su Jianjun was feeding the chickens when Su Nuannuan came to his side and gave him a sweet smile.

"Dad, do you know where we can buy glass jars in our county?"

Su Jianjun looked puzzled, but his hands didn't stop moving as he fed the chickens and asked.

"Why do you ask?"

At the same time, he was already thinking about where in the county glass jars could be sold.

Su Nuannuan said the excuse she had already prepared.

"I want to buy some jars to make canned fruit from our home and send it to my eldest and second eldest sisters."

After saying that, he glanced at Su Jianjun's slightly moved expression and continued.

“My eldest and second eldest sisters have been living on the island for several years. I heard that the island is short of supplies and has nothing. My eldest and second eldest sisters must not have eaten anything good in the past two years. And my eldest and second eldest sisters’ children probably have never even seen what grapes look like.”

Su Nuannuan's words had a firm grip on Su Jianjun.

The men of Heilongjiang Province doted on their daughters the most. He loved his two older daughters no less than he loved Su Nuannuan.

Therefore, Su Jianjun felt a pang of sadness upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words. He felt that Su Nuannuan was right; there was no shortage of food at home, and he needed to find a way to send more to his two daughters who were far away on the island.

Seeing that Su Jianjun was persuaded, a triumphant smile flashed in Su Nuannuan's eyes.

However, that smile quickly disappeared from his eyes after Su Jianjun's reply.

"Nuan Nuan, that's a good idea. However, there are no glass jars for sale in the county town."

Su Nuannuan never expected that her plan would be aborted before it could even be implemented. This made Su Nuannuan very unwilling.

However, Su Jianjun changed the subject and spoke again.

"There isn't one in the county, but there is a factory in the city that specializes in making glass jars."

What does it mean to see the light at the end of the tunnel? This is it!

Su Nuannuan, who had already given up hope, was given a chance by Su Jianjun's words.

There's not much difference between the county and the city; a day trip is enough.

Just as Su Nuannuan was about to tell Su Jianjun that she was going to the city, she heard Su Jianjun's voice.

“We only need to make a few cans, so we don’t need to go to the city. I can just buy a few canning jars from the recycling station and make them just as well.”

Upon hearing Su Jianjun's words, Su Nuannuan's expression froze.

Scrap recycling station!
No! No! No!
Su Nuannuan screamed inwardly. She absolutely did not want to use bottles from a recycling center to make canned goods; who knew how many years ago the contents were? Moreover, no one knew what had been inside those bottles. Buying them to make canned goods—Su Nuannuan simply could not accept it!
Su Nuannuan's mind raced as she tried to stop Su Jianjun from having this terrible idea.

However, before Su Nuannuan could speak, Chen Xiuting, who came out from the inner room, overheard Su Jianjun's words and raised her eyebrows.

“Su Jianjun, you’re not allowed to buy those damn cans from the recycling station! You’re going to use them to make canned food? Aren’t you afraid there might be something dirty inside?”
