Portable space in the 60s

Chapter 240
Boiling loquat paste is meticulous work. Fortunately, there are many people in the family, so I don't find it troublesome.

First scrape the peel with a knife, so that the peel is easy to peel off, then wash the fresh loquat, soak it in light salt water for a while, and then remove the core and tail inside.

Then crush the pitted loquats, put them in a large casserole, boil them over high heat, then turn to low heat and boil slowly.

Thinking that Ge Hongxia is pregnant now, she didn't add rock sugar in the first pot. This kind of loquat paste can be sweeter. When the loquat juice is harvested, add some Chuanbei powder and stir continuously, and then boil it.

In fact, people with loquat trees in Chen Lian's brigade came to ask how to make loquat paste, and Su Su would call them here when he was boiling it.

In fact, if you want to make a good pot of loquat cream, you must concentrate on turning it over and over again, otherwise it may burn, and the whole pot of loquat cream will be ruined.

But now they have a lot of people, so they take turns to read it so that they don’t feel bored. Instead, you take a sip, and I taste half a spoonful. After about two hours, the loquat paste is ready, but there is only half of it left.

Tang Bao glared at them helplessly: "I originally planned to put some rock sugar in the next pot for you to eat. You have already eaten it, so you are not allowed to eat it in the next pot."

"Don't," Gu Shaojin smiled recklessly, "Sister, cough, loquat cream can clear away heat and reduce phlegm, I think I need it very much!"

Li Shang originally wanted to use a spoon to secretly spoon it, but when he heard this, he withdrew his hand, coughed twice, and said pretendingly: "I also feel that I have eaten too much spicy food these past two days, and my throat is not very comfortable, give it to me later." Do you want to keep a can, too?"

"Then why don't you hurry up!" Tang Bao commanded them naturally: "Give me some quick, I'll go inside to see how their jelly juice is doing!"

The loquat paste was being boiled outside, and the jelly grass juice was being boiled inside. Tang Bao taught them the ratio of water and juice step by step, without hiding anything.

Yang Yi was a little embarrassed to hear it, but always thought it was her prescription.

"Listen to me carefully!" Tang Bao stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, and said disgustedly: "It's not some heirloom recipe, it's like cooking, even if it's stir-fried vegetables, everyone's cooking tastes different. Not the same! Besides, I don’t believe it, and I can’t teach you! Even if it’s rotten wood, I still want to carve flowers.”

Both Gu Ningjin and Yang Yi were amused by her 'talk about dead wood'.

……

After Ge Hongxia married Wu Aihua, she usually lived in the staff dormitory of the hospital, but now that she has a child and is sick again, her parents don't bother her son-in-law to take care of her daughter and call her home to take care of her.

The next morning, Wu Aihua sent a bottle of loquat cream over, and before she entered the door, she heard her coughing, and hurriedly brought the loquat cream in: "Hongxia, let me pour some Kaihuakai for you first, this cough reliever is really good. spiritual."

Mama Ge sighed sadly at the side: "Can this folk remedy work? Why don't you go to the hospital to see, you can't ignore your own body for the sake of the little one, can you?"

"Mom, don't worry, he's an old Chinese doctor for many years." Wu Aihua nimbly dug up a spoonful of loquat cream, poured warm water into a bowl of loquat cream, and said earnestly, "Hongxia, would you like to take a few mouthfuls?" good?"

Ge Hongxia coughed a few times. Seeing his concerned eyes, she felt sweet in her heart. She answered and brought it over to drink.

Although she didn't know if it would work, but the tea made with jam was sour and sweet, even if it didn't stop her cough, it would still keep her from vomiting.

"I'm fine, ahem...you can go to work with peace of mind?" Ge Hongxia urged him to go to work after finishing his drink.

Wu Aihua looked at his watch and saw that it was almost seven o'clock, so he could only get up and said worriedly: "Then I will go to work first, and if you are still not feeling well, I will ask Mom to accompany you to the hospital to have a look. gone."

"Okay, I remember, cough cough cough..."

Seeing that her son-in-law had left, Mama Ge came over and touched her daughter's forehead. Seeing that the temperature was normal, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you lie down well. If you can go to the hospital, it's better not to go to the hospital."

"Understood!" Ge Hongxia recalled the sweet and sour taste in her mouth: "Mom, can you make me another bowl of loquat paste?"

Seeing that her daughter didn't vomit after drinking the loquat cream, Mama Ge hurried to make a bowl for her daughter and asked her to drink more water to moisten her throat.

In the afternoon, Wu Aihua was worried about his wife and the child in her belly, so he hurried back after work.

I didn't hear a cough when I entered the door, so I hurriedly asked my mother-in-law who was picking vegetables in the living room: "Mom, where did Hongxia go?"

"Hold down, sleep in the room!" Ge's mother said with joy on her face: "That loquat paste is really good, it has the effect of relieving cough, Hongxia's cough is much better in the afternoon, even the morning sickness is gone It’s a lot, why don’t you buy a few more bottles? There’s only a little left of the previous bottle.”

"That's fine. I'll go in and have a look at Hongxia first, then I'll go back and buy two bottles." After Wu Aihua finished speaking, she gently opened the door and walked in. Seeing that Ge Hongxia's complexion had improved a bit, she was sleeping soundly now, and quietly Come out and close the door: "Mom, then I'll go back now!"

When the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more she looked at her, the more pleasing she was. The most important thing was that the son-in-law was now running around for his daughter: "Let's go after dinner?"

"It's okay, I'll leave early, so I can come back soon!"

After Tang Bao knew Wu Aihua's reason for coming, he smiled and brought him two bottles of loquat cream: "You take this back, it should be quite effective after you drink it, and this thing has no side effects."

Wu Aihua took it carefully, and smiled embarrassedly: "Thank you, then I'm not welcome, how much?"

Tang Bao asked him to bring a few more bottles this morning, but he also said that one bottle was enough, so he was slapped in the face so soon.

"Don't tell me! These loquats were all sent by you, and I won't give you any money. This is considered a double invitation!" Seeing him taking out the money, Tang Bao glared at him, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "Fourth brother, I'm really angry when you do this! I gave this to my little nephew in my sister-in-law's belly, so don't get out with me."

"Well, now I only blame that I didn't study hard when you taught me before!" Wu Aihua smiled at her gratefully, said a few gossips, turned around and left in a hurry.

After drinking two bottles of loquat cream, Ge Hongxia was completely cured. Not only did she stop coughing, but she even cured her morning sickness.

"Oh, this is really useful. Your cough didn't get better so quickly before!" Mother Ge thought that her sister's grandson seemed to be coughing too, so she immediately took two sheets of Great Unity and her son-in-law and said, "Aihua, go back and ask, Is that loquat jam still available? My sister’s bastard has been coughing for the past two days, so I want to get some for him to try at home! Anyway, this thing is only good and not bad.”

"Should there be more?" Wu Aihua looked at her mother-in-law puzzledly: "Isn't there still a bottle of Hongxia? It's okay to take that to my aunt first?"

Ge Hongxia hurriedly shook her head, and said in a rare way to protect her food: "No, I won't vomit after taking this loquat cream in the morning! If you go back, buy me another bottle. This will not be as cheap as Tang Bao's. Buy some meat send something?"

In the past few days, Tang Bao really matched up with the loquat paste. The two boxes sent by Wu Sanshu and the others were resolved on the same day, but the old man on the street also picked more than 50 catties the next day, and the nearby business people saw it. They also hurriedly asked if they still accepted it.

Tang Bao thought that if his family opened a medical clinic, this loquat cream would not be too much, so he collected more than 300 catties and made a lot.

So when Wu Aihua came to the door again, saying that he bought it for a relative's child, he generously took five yuan from him and gave him three bottles of loquat cream.

Gu Yujun thought about it in his mind: "Sister, three catties of loquats can almost make one catty of loquat cream, and the profit is huge. Should we collect some more loquats? Anyway, it is not illegal to buy and sell now."

"Little money fan," Tang Bao stretched out his hand and patted her forehead lightly: "We are going to reorganize the house, and we don't have time to do this for now."

"Yes, the house is the most important thing!" Gu Yujun silently dismissed the idea of ​​collecting loquats. He still felt a pity in his heart. It was finally allowed to buy and sell, but there was no time, and there were very few loquats at this time. Be sure to push them to charge more.

……

For several days in a row, Yang Yi's jelly noodles were very popular, and the price was not expensive. Many people brought a plate to buy a few bowls and took them home, but they spread the word.

After Jin Xiujuan heard it, she felt very uncomfortable, but she also knew that she couldn't come forward, so she asked her sister to talk about it.

Although Jin Xiufang lost her job in the commune before, she has followed her younger sister's footsteps and now works as an accountant in a textile factory. Thinking that she lost her job because of the Tang family, she really dare not go out now Tang Bao was provoked.

However, since this younger sister asked herself to teach her a lesson, if she didn't go, she couldn't justify it, so she turned her idea on her daughter-in-law, Zhao Aizhen.

On the morning of June [-], many men, women and children with bowls surrounded Tang Bao's small jelly stall.

"Your business is all based on capitalist speculation! You are making black money!" Zhao Aizhen walked over in a white shirt and black skirt, with a look of righteousness.

Tang Bao's brows subconsciously frowned, and he secretly scolded her for being insane, so she came out to find fault.

Zhao Aizhen's voice was not low, and the people around looked at them curiously, and they all started whispering. It's exciting to watch, and everyone is very happy, but it doesn't delay their shopping: "Young man, don't be distracted, let me Serve three bowls, my grandson is still at home waiting for this jelly for breakfast?"

Tang Bao motioned for them to continue, and he came to Zhao Aizhen, looking at her with a funny face: "Please explain, what did I do? In your eyes, capitalist speculation has fallen?"

Seeing that Tang Bao was not afraid to talk back to her at all, Zhao Aizhen couldn't hide her astonishment, and said angrily, "What did you do yourself, don't you know what you have done? You have caused me to be accused! Can't you know how to make progress? Do you have to?" Do these shameful things?"

Seeing the two confronting each other, more and more passers-by gathered around them, and their eyes were all focused on the two of them, wondering what happened in a low voice curiously.

Tang Bao's face was cold, but she didn't feel guilty at all. She really wasn't afraid of someone coming to ruin the situation, but wanted to make an example of others. After all, she was still busy with the affairs of the Su family compound.

She smiled slightly: "Then please tell me, what embarrassing thing did I do? To save me from being wronged inexplicably, and I don't know why! After all, I think I am really too embarrassing compared to you Yes, don't you think so?"

Inexplicably, Zhao Aizhen felt that she was laughing at her marrying a fool, and became angry with embarrassment: "You said I wronged you!"

Her face turned redder and redder: "Then let me tell you, what do you call a small trader? You are stealing the corner of socialism, turning the tide and restoring capitalism!"

The crowd around the side suddenly laughed. If this crime was in the past, it would be really serious. This person is afraid that he will be arrested, but now that the policy has changed, it will not be a problem.

Zhao Aizhen never expected that these people would laugh at her indifferently, her face suddenly turned from red to white, and she said louder: "You don't know, she is not a general speculator, what she sells is the unclean grass on the mountain Processed food!"

"What?" A young man looked at them in disbelief: "This thing is made of grass?"

Zhao Aizhen felt that the time had come for her to be elated: "Yes, all she earns is black-hearted money. Such a hateful person, if we don't knock her down, are we going to wait for her to grow into a cancer of society?"
