Chapter 93: Making Canned Persimmons

At around 1:00 p.m., Shi Qinghuan came to Wang Ailan's house. She saw that there was only Wang Ailan at home, so she asked Wang Ailan: "Aunt Wang, where is your youngest son?"

"You said Xiaofu, he went to school."

"Oh, do we have a school?"

"No, regardless of the elementary school in the village closest to us, Xiao Fu was studying there."

Shi Qinghuan nodded after hearing Wang Ailan's words, and then she asked Wang Ailan: "Aunt Wang, is there anything wrong with you calling me here?"

"It's nothing big. Didn't you say you want to learn to make canned persimmons with me? I just happened to make canned persimmons in a while, so I thought about letting you learn it. This thing is simple, so you can make it at a glance."

"Okay, is there any place to need my help?"

"Yes, please help me cut the persimmons into small pieces, and I'll wash the jar."

Shi Qinghuan nodded after hearing Wang Ailan's words, and then she picked up the knife to prepare to cut persimmons.

But when her knife touched the persimmon, she thought that the persimmon soup she had drunk before was peeled, so she asked Wang Ailan: "Aunt Wang, do you need to peel the persimmon?"

"No, it's too hard to peel that thing. Just cut it, it tastes a lot."

After hearing Wang Ailan's words, Shi Qinghuan thought of the method of peeling persimmons she had seen before, but she had never tried it and didn't know if it could succeed.

So she said to Wang Ailan: "Aunt Wang, I know a way to peel it. It can easily remove the skin of the persimmon, but I have never tried it before. Do you want to give it a try?"

"What's the solution? You said."

"Actually, the method is very simple. It is to put the persimmons in hot water and blanch them for a while, and then put the persimmons in cold water, so that the persimmon skin can be peeled off easily."

After hearing Shi Qinghuan's words, Wang Ailan also thought it was very simple, so she planned to give it a try, but it wouldn't take much trouble anyway.

So she went outside the house to boil a pot of hot water and put a few persimmons into the pot.

A few minutes later, Wang Ailan saw that the skin of the persimmon had exploded a little, so she asked Shi Qinghuan: "Huanhuan, is it okay to burn the persimmon like this?"

"Okay, use a spoon to cool the persimmons into cold water, and then peel the persimmons."

After hearing Shi Qinghuan's words, Wang Ailan did what Shi Qinghuan said. After a while, she peeled off the skins of a few persimmons, and she was immediately happy.

So she hurriedly said to Shi Qinghuan: "Huanhuan, what you said is feasible. You see, I took only a little time to peel off the skins of these persimmons."

"That's good. You can heat the water in the pot and then add more persimmons to the scalding."

After hearing Shi Qinghuan's words, Wang Ailan said ok, and then she carried it out to heat it.

More than an hour later, Shi Qinghuan cut the last persimmon, and then she said to Wang Ailan: "Aunt Wang, I have cut all the persimmons, what should I do next?"

"Put the cut persimmons into a glass jar, remember not to fill them too much, just fill them with 80% full, because you will need to add sugar later."

After hearing Wang Ailan's words, Shi Qinghuan said ok, and then she and Wang Ailan put the chopped persimmons into a glass jar.
