Chapter 73 Making Jam

Making a bread kiln is not only a technical job, but also a physical job.

Ruan Mingzi has not done anything else in the past few days, and has plunged into the production of the bread kiln. On the day when the Cheng kiln is completed, she looked at the bread kiln that looks like Pikachu and felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

Ruan Mingyan looked at the strange-looking kiln in front of her curiously, and pointed to Pikachu's tail with two "ahhh", as if she was wondering what it was.

Of course, children in ancient times did not know Pikachu.

Ruan Mingzi smiled and talked to Ruan Mingyan: "This creature is only found in a very far place. It is called an electric mouse. It is a cute little thing that can discharge electricity."

Ruan Mingyan nodded in a vague way.

Taking advantage of the sunny weather and drying the bread kiln, Ruan Mingzi carried a basket on her back and took Ruan Mingyan to the place where Lu Ruier had picked wild fruits before, picked many wild fruits called "Gala Fruit" by the locals, and filled a basket full of baskets. Ruan Mingyan was carrying a small bag in her hand.

This gala is sour and sweet, and it is just right for making the jam with bread.

In addition to the broken and ineffective porcelain that I bought at low prices, some of the defective porcelains were not used, but also some of them were ordered in a clean manner, which could be used after trimming them. Ruan Mingzi found three slightly complete thin-necked round belly bottles from the pile of defective porcelains.

The defective product was a little crispy. She carefully knocked the burnt thin neck with a stone, then polished the diameter to make it a round container.

But when the thin neck was knocked, the area next to the bottle was easily broken. In the end, Ruan Mingzi made only one of the three useful bottles.

Ruan Mingzi was not discouraged. You know, she bought such a lot of ragged porcelain just after spending three cents. If she wanted to buy such a useful porcelain bottle in the county, it would cost less than five cents, let alone the other ones.

Ruan Mingzi took Ruan Mingyan and peeled the garla fruit. After cutting it in half, he finely dug off the middle core, and then cut the flesh into small pieces.

The entire kitchen is filled with the sweet and sour fruity aroma of Gala fruit.

Because there are so many fruits all over the mountains, even greedy children can’t pick them all. The fruits are ripe and ripe, with a light sour taste and a strong sweet taste. It’s so tempting to smell the fruit aroma.

Ruan Mingyan helped Ruan Mingzi remove the kernel of the gala fruit and ate another one from time to time. When she and Ruan Mingzi finished processing the basket of gala fruit, her belly was already round.

Ruan Mingzi used the coarse sugar he bought in the county and put nearly half of the chopped fruit pieces for marinating.

It hurts so much.

Sugar is quite expensive in this era!

When the jam bread is ready, she must set a good price to be worthy of these costs!

Ruan Mingzi thought with heartache, and was in pain and happiness.

After the marinated was almost done, Ruan Mingzi added water to the pot and put the marinated fruit pieces into a pot. He carefully boiled it into a pot of jam that made people smell so much that the index fingers were filled with fruit fragrance. It was filled with a porcelain bottle and leftover.

Ruan Mingyan was almost saliva, waiting in the kitchen, looking at Ruan Mingzi.

Ruan Mingzi laughed in disgrace, took a small bowl, and then a small spoon, and put some for Ruan Mingzi: "...This thing is too sweet, and you will get tired of eating too much."

Ruan Mingyan happily held the bowl of jam and went out to eat it.

Ruan Mingzi also tasted it, and the taste was even better than she thought, and it was even much more delicious than modern jams with unknown additives.

It is the original fruit.

Ruan Mingzi happily took a bowl and put some jam. She was about to deliver it to Lu Ruier when she saw Lu Ruier enter the door with a small bag.

"A coincidence, right? You're going to go to your house to deliver things to you, but you'll come to your door by yourself." Ruan Mingzi said with a smile.

"My mother asked me to give you something," Lu Ruier's nose moved, "What's so good!"

She noticed the bowl in Ruan Mingzi's hand, leaned over her head curiously, and said in surprise: "Wow, what is this? It looks strange, the color is so beautiful, and it smells so sweet!"

The children in the countryside had eaten jam, and Lu Ruier could hardly move her eyes away.

"Here, when we went to Xiangyangzhuang last time, didn't we have a lot of wild fruits on the way?" Ruan Mingzi explained, "I took the jam made with some sugar."

Lu Ruier was shocked.

Things like candy are luxury everywhere. She subconsciously smacked her lips: "It looks delicious..."

Ruan Mingzi smiled and took the bag from Lu Ruier's hand, and at the same time handed the bowl from his other hand to Lu Ruier: "I'll find you a spoon and you can try it. But after you go back, you have to find a container without water to seal it and put it in a cool place, otherwise it will break down in a few days."

Lu Ruier was full of thoughts on the jam at this moment, so she could not hear Ruan Mingzi's words.

Ruan Mingzi shook her head with a chuckle, turned around and went back to the kitchen to find a spoon and handed it to Lu Ruier. Lu Ruier couldn't wait to scoop a spoon and stuff it into her mouth. In an instant, she widened her eyes, and her round little face was full of five big words-

It's so delicious!

Seeing Lu Ruier's appearance of burying her head in the jam bowl, Ruan Mingzi couldn't help laughing again: "Eat slowly, you won't be afraid of sweetening your teeth in a while."

Lu Ruier scooped a spoonful of food again, then said with a dreamy look: "It will fall down, I am willing to - this is too delicious! You are so awesome!"

"You can't fall off because of this, otherwise I can't explain to Aunt Gao," Ruan Mingzi smiled and pulled Lu Rui'er's bowl out, "You're almost done."

"...Okay." Lu Ruier said with some regret, as if she was savoring the last spoonful of sweetness.

"What is this?" Ruan Mingzi stopped Lu Ruier's uncontrollable behavior and then asked about the burden that Lu Ruier brought.

Lu Ruier smacked her lips and finally remembered the purpose of her visit this time: "...Oh, it was my mother's shoes. I made a pair of them for you and Yanyan alone. She can't do needlework, and it's pretty good to make shoes. You and Yanyan both try it, see if it's OK."

Ruan Mingzi opened the bag and saw two pairs of shoes lying inside. The soles were firmly placed with needles and threads. The upper was made of a simple and patterned cloth, which looked simple and beautiful.

"You know that my mother can't do needlework," Lu Ruier unceremoniously revealed Gao's shortness, "So there is no embroidery on the upper of my family, don't dislike it."

"How could it be?" Ruan Mingzi couldn't put it down, and he and Ruan Mingyan split their shoes, took a wooden stake and sat in the yard and changed them. She got up and walked around, and jumped, "The shoes are so comfortable. Aunt Gao is so nice to me and Yanyan."

"That's right," Lu Ruier said sourly, "My mother treats you well, like a daughter." She paused again, "No, it's better than a daughter. Sometimes my mother beats me with willow branches. For you and Yanyan, she can't bear to move a finger."

Ruan Mingzi couldn't help laughing again. Ruan Mingyan was wearing new shoes and trotting around the yard, and laughed.

Lu Rui'er held the bowl full of sweet jam and looked at the smiles of the two sisters in front of her. Her pouted mouth couldn't help but smile.

For a moment, the farmhouse yard was filled with warm smiles.
Chapter completed!
