tough peasant girl

Chapter 154 Preserved Fruit (3)
Sun Yuanming was not idle either. He was cutting apples. The head should not be too big or too small. An apple should be cut into eight pieces, which would make it easier to dry.

Lin Poxue is in charge of drying. In ancient times, there were no dryers like modern ones. There was only the most old-fashioned method, which was to put the apple petals in the water in the basket to dry the water, and then expose them to the sun. This weather is very suitable for drying apples.

After the apples are ready, peaches are followed, but peaches are for canning, so it is relatively easier. Cut a peach in half from the middle and remove the core, and find a clean jar without oil.In fact, the most important thing is to boil the hot water, add a lot of honey in it, and keep stirring in the water. After the honey is completely integrated into the water, you are not in a hurry to put the peaches in, but after the water cools, Pour the honey water into the jar, almost covering the peaches, and seal it. It will take about 2 months, and the peaches will be able to taste, and they will be particularly delicious.

Three jars of canned peaches were made, and each jar was made by Lin Poxue herself. Sun Yuanming and Mrs. Chen were very happy in their hearts. No matter whether they succeeded or sold for a good price, they were all impressed by Lin Poxue's intelligence.

The next thing to do is dry pineapple. This method is similar to that of apples, but it is much more troublesome than apples. First of all, pineapple has relatively more water. What needs to be done is dehydration, but it cannot affect the taste of pineapple. Most of the sweetness is in the water. If you really let the pineapple completely dry, then the wood will definitely not taste good.

Lin Poxue soaked strips of pineapples in honey water first. This step is similar to that of canned peaches, but the soaking time does not need to be too long, about a day or so.

Seeing Lin Poxue's non-stop busyness, Sun Yuanming liked it in his heart.

Sun Lin originally wanted to trouble Lin Poxue, who told her to beat him before, and saw something strange before he entered the door, so he ran to his house in a hurry.

Seeing his son come back, Sun Min couldn't help asking, "Xiao Lin, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Father, go and have a look. Grandpa and grandma have picked a lot of fruits. I don't know what they are for. I think Lin Poxue is thinking about it alone. The fruits in our family are for selling money. How can Lin Poxue pick them up?" That dead girl is so wasteful and wasteful." Sun Lin was angry and felt that he couldn't do it, and he didn't dare to trouble Lin Poxue directly, that wild girl was fearless and fierce.

Sun Min frowned when he heard Sun Lin's words. He had heard that Lin Poxue was smart. Sun Ying's family life improved and Xiaojun's ability to go to school was all thanks to Lin Poxue. It seemed that Lin Poxue was really smart. He said, he might as well go and see, if he can really make money, it would be great, if not, he must stop her from wasting the fruit at home.

Sun Min walked in front, and Sun Lin followed behind. With Sun Min backing him up, he was not afraid of anything.

Just arrived at Sun Yuanming's house, "Father, what are you messing with?" But he came too late, everything was packed, it was difficult for him to steal a teacher, Lin Poxue didn't have a good impression of this second uncle , she also told Sun Yuanming in advance that no one should tell anyone before this preserved fruit is not successful. If someone asks, just say that the children made it for food. I don’t know if it is good or not?

Lin Poxue thought that if this could make money, she would open a shop in the town, plant fruit trees in the fields, and of course keep bees.These plans are planned in her heart.

The arrival of Sun Min caused Lin Poxue to frown uncontrollably, but she still said with a smile, "Second Uncle, what brought you here?"

Sun Min thought it was not good for the girl to be too smart, "Xiaoxue, I heard that you are messing with food, but how can you waste so much fruit, do you know that these can be sold for a good price? You child I have never lived a hard life, and I don’t know the difficulty of not having money. I know that your family is doing well, and you are used to being extravagant, but it is not possible in our family, otherwise we will eat this meal and have no next meal. This life is difficult. !"

Sun Yuanming glared at Sun Min. He couldn't understand what he was thinking. "Second, what I picked was from the orchard of my boss and I. I didn't pick yours. You can sell them for money. We don't need yours to get some food!"

Sun Min felt that they made so much, it must not only be for food, and the old man divided the matter so clearly, obviously he didn't bring his family with him. "Father, I don't mean that. If what you make can make money, you can pick any fruit from your son's orchard. If you have money, let's all earn it together?"

Lin Poxue took a look at Sun Min: "Second Uncle, I'm just playing around. I don't know if I can make money. Maybe I don't have a penny. Doing business always needs to take risks. If you agree, we will go to your orchard tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Pick the fruit."

"No, no, no, I only have some fruit in my orchard, and I still expect them to sell it for money. I have something to do, so I'm going home first!" Sun Min felt that if he didn't leave, the fruit in the orchard might not be able to keep.

Seeing Sun Min's useless look, Sun Yuanming couldn't help stomping his feet and sighing angrily. "Useless stuff!"

"Grandpa, let's not be angry, and we won't bring them with us when we earn money. By the way, why didn't I see Uncle, who else?" Lin Poxue felt strange, and hadn't seen Sun Bao since yesterday.

Sun Yuanming felt that he was gratified by the change of his eldest son. "Your uncle went hunting in the mountains, and he will probably be back tonight. We can have meat then."

Chen Shi, Sun Lei and others were very happy when they heard about Kai Hun.Lin Poxue felt that as long as Sun Bao didn't like to be lazy, she was going to help. This person knew his mistakes and could improve a lot, and Sun Bao didn't do anything particularly outrageous, which was much better than Sun Min didn't know.

She couldn't help tossing about the apples. She felt that these were not too much. Don't look at them too much. There won't be many after drying. If you are not busy at this time, you might as well make more. However, there are not many fruits in the orchard. She plans to Or go to the village households to buy.

But I also thought that the cost has not come out yet, it is better to sell this batch of preserved fruits after they are ready, and then start to make new ones, so that there will be no shortage of fruits throughout the year.

Lin Poxue was worried about Sun Ying and the others, but she was close to Lizheng's house, so Lin Maocai and He's wouldn't bother her anymore.And what they are most afraid of now is Sun Ying and Li. By then, they will have no more than [-] Wen and [-] catties of grain every month.

Lin Hu was bored at home. He didn't understand why Lin Poxue lived there. He couldn't help but want to go and have a look. But the family has been a little busy these days, and he has to run to the fields every day. There are not many fields, so he, Sun Ying and Lin Danyang cut the rice early and stood up tied up.
