Chapter 117 Foodie is a derogatory term

After the machine was cleaned, Su Nuannuan wiped it twice with alcohol.

Then, they were set aside to dry.

Then, she began taking out the glass jars she had purchased from the Bright Glass Jar Factory. She used her mental power to move two thousand glass jars directly from the warehouse, including 1000 500ml jars and 1000 1,000 1,000 jars.

After washing the glass jars, I moistened them with alcohol. Then, I put them all into the filling machine.

After cleaning the machine and containers, Su Nuannuan began washing the fruit.

She chose strawberries and grapes. These are the only two fruits that can grow in the space right now; watermelons definitely won't work.

Strawberries are fine; they can be canned directly after washing. Grapes, however, require Su Nuannuan to peel them herself.

Looking at the basins of washed grapes in front of her, Su Nuannuan felt a headache coming on.

I should have known better than to make canned grapes; I feel like I've screwed myself over.

The grapes had already been washed, so Su Nuannuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and get to it. Fortunately, she could use her mental power without restraint while inside the space.

Enveloping the grape in her mental energy, the skin was peeled off completely in just one second. Looking at her masterpiece, Su Nuannuan's eyes lit up.

Although peeling grapes is a bit of a hassle, she can peel them using her mental power.

In less than two hours, she had already peeled two large basins of grapes.

I checked the time and figured it was about time.

Su Nuannuan then took two packets of white sugar and came out of her spatial storage.

When she got home, Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun had already washed all the fruit and were peeling grapes.

"Mom, I've bought the sugar."

"Put it in the main room."

Following Chen Xiu's instructions, Su Nuannuan placed two packets of white sugar on the table in the main room. Then, she joined in the task of peeling grapes.

Unlike using mental power to peel them, Su Nuannuan felt that her little hands were a bit clumsy, and she always had to peel the grape flesh apart before she could peel off the grape skin.

Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun felt very sorry for her when they saw this.

"Nuan Nuan, why don't you go play somewhere else?"

After listening to Su Jianjun's roundabout words, Su Nuannuan shrugged helplessly. In the end, she put down the grapes in her hand and went back to her room.

Su Nuannuan returned to her space and first used the filling machine to put the fruit into glass jars. Because she had never used a filling machine before, Su Nuannuan made several mistakes. Finally, she managed to perfectly fill the glass jars with the right amount of fruit.

Then, she boiled a large pot of spiritual spring water and started adding white sugar in a 1:4 ratio to dissolve it.

The spiritual spring water definitely can't be used casually. Su Nuannuan plans to first make a batch of canned fruit soaked in the spiritual spring water to share with her family. Once she returns to the capital, she'll make another batch of canned fruit soaked in ordinary water to give to others.

Pour the boiled sugar syrup into the filling machine, then start the machine to fill the cans with the sugar syrup.

After the strawberries and grapes were portioned, the cans were sealed with metal lids. Since the strawberries and grapes were small, Su Nuannuan didn't use a slicer.

Because it was machine-operated, Su Nuannuan quickly made three hundred bottles. If she hadn't been so slow at boiling water, she could have made even more.
After the fruit is made into preserves, it still needs to be steamed. For soft fruits like strawberries and grapes, steaming for just two minutes is sufficient.

Su Nuannuan quickly steamed the first batch of canned goods and placed them on a row of wooden tables made of shipping containers, waiting for them to cool. Only after all three hundred cans of fruit were steamed did Su Nuannuan emerge from her spatial dimension.

At this moment, Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun had already peeled all the grapes. Looking at the less than half-full basin of grapes and strawberries, Su Nuannuan frowned.

That's too little. If we make them all into canned fruit, my family definitely won't have enough to eat.

While Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun went to boil water, Su Nuannuan moved some of the strawberries and grapes that had already been washed out of the space.

The strawberries and grapes that were originally few suddenly doubled in number. In order to prevent Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun from noticing, Su Nuannuan even used her chopsticks to move them around so that they didn't look like there were so many.

When Chen Xiuting came over to bring the fruit, she looked at the strawberries and grapes in the bowl with a puzzled expression.

"That's strange, it seems like there are more strawberries and grapes now?"

Su Nuannuan quickly stood up and pushed Chen Xiuting inside. "Mom, hurry up and go in, Dad will be getting impatient."

Chen Xiuting, who was being pushed, wasn't angry. She put the fruit aside and followed Su Nuannuan's lead.

"well."

When the two entered, they saw Su Jianjun boiling sugar water.

"Xiuting, put the strawberries and grapes into the jar first."

"Row."

After saying that, Chen Xiuting began to portion the strawberries and grapes into different bottles using chopsticks. She didn't mix the strawberries and grapes together, but put them into different bottles.

To fit more fruit, Chen Xiuting almost filled the glass jar to the brim. Su Nuannuan was also helping Chen Xiuting pack fruit.

After filling the jar, Su Jianjun began adding water to it with a spoon. Since there was a lot of fruit in the glass jar, only one spoonful of water was needed.

Soon, ten glass jars were filled with sugar water.

Su Jianjun poured the remaining sugar water into bowls, exactly four bowls.

"Nuan Nuan, go and call your three older brothers over so we can have some sweet soup together."

Su Nuannuan nodded, then turned and ran towards her three older brothers' room.

The three older brothers lived in one room, which had a large kang (heated brick bed). At this moment, the three older brothers were reading a book while lying on the kang table.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, Dad wants you to come over for some sweet soup."

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Su Erqiang immediately put down the book in his hand and looked at Su Nuannuan with bright eyes.

"Are Dad and Mom making fruit preserves?"

Su Nuannuan smiled and nodded.

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's reply, Su Erqiang quickly got off the kang (a heated brick bed), put on his shoes, and ran towards the kitchen.

"Big brother, let's go too. Otherwise, that gluttonous second brother will definitely drink all the sweet soup."

Su Sanquan learned the word "foodie" from Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan casually remarked that Su Erqiang was like a foodie, and he remembered it. Every time he argued with Su Erqiang, he would use the foodie analogy to tease him.

In this day and age, any term like "foodie" or "food enthusiast" sounds disrespectful. To most people, "foodie" is a derogatory term.

Su Nuannuan still remembers the wronged look in Su Erqiang's eyes when she said her second brother was a foodie.

Hearing Su Sanquan say that Su Erqiang was a glutton, Su Nuannuan helplessly corrected him.

"Third brother, you shouldn't call second brother a glutton anymore, he'll get upset."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."

Su Sanquan wasn't really mocking Su Erqiang; he just found the word "foodie" amusing and thought it was somewhat endearing to describe Su Erqiang.

When the three arrived in the kitchen, Su Erqiang was already drinking the sugar water from a bowl. The prepared canned fruit had already been steamed by Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting.

Because Su Nuannuan took out a lot of fruit, there was still quite a bit left besides the fruit that had already been put into the jar.

"Nuan Nuan, you should eat these fruits too. Otherwise, they'll spoil tomorrow."

Su Nuannuan and the others nodded.

After receiving permission, Su Erqiang stopped pretending and quickly grabbed a strawberry he had his eye on from the bowl and started eating it.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan and the other two smiled.
