After satisfying their appetite, they picked more than a basket.
I was really too tired to pick any more fruits, so I sat on a big rock to rest for a while, looked at the scenery, and then prepared to go home.
They didn't find any of the rumored pheasants, wild boars, or wolves.
The only thing I saw was a little gray rabbit running in the jungle.
Its short legs made it run so fast that they couldn't catch up with it, let alone catch it.
When the two were almost at the foot of the mountain, Shen Xiaobei suddenly decided to pick some wild flowers with Ke Xiaoli and put them in a backpack to take back.
Then put it in the room or the main hall as decoration.
When she was a fashion designer, she was a very bourgeois person, and she often put fresh flowers bought from flower shops in the vases in her office and home.
The flowers smelled fragrant and were pleasing to the eyes, and she felt that they made her happy.
For a girl, knowing how to please herself is the most important thing besides making a living.
Although we did not catch the expected meat, black fungus has the reputation of being the best meat among vegetarians in modern times.
After picking up half a basket of black fungus, a basket of wild raspberries, and a few handfuls of wild flowers, Shen Xiaobei felt that this trip to Xiangu Mountain was quite fruitful.
After she and Ke Xiaoli returned to the educated youth site, Fan Huifang was also surprised to see that they had returned with a full load.
She immediately put down the work of cutting the wedding characters and let them eat the lunch she had specially left for them.
Then, she poured the fungus onto several winnowing baskets and placed them in the sun to dry.
Sun-dry it for two days to remove the moisture and it will become dried wood ear mushroom.
In the future, you can take out some and soak it in advance, then make it into cold-mixed black fungus or stir-fry it. It is convenient and nutritious.
After Fan Huifang finished processing the fungus, Shen Xiaobei and Ke Xiaoli also finished their meal. Then, the three of them rinsed all the berries together.
Then he took some out and put them in a large bowl as a snack, and asked Deng Yuliang and others to come back and try it too.
Then, Shen Xiaobei began to make jam.
She sent Fan Huifang away first and asked her to take some vegetables and wild berries to someone else's house to exchange for some rock sugar.
He then asked Ke Xiaoli to find a few more small glass bottles, wash them, and then wipe out all the water inside the bottles so that they could be used to package the jam.
Shen Xiaobei stayed in the kitchen alone, putting some raspberries in a basin and soaking them in salt water to filter out the tiny bugs that were invisible to the naked eye.
After soaking, rinse them with water, drain them, and pour them into the pot.
He stuffed some more firewood into the stove hole and started the stove.
Because Fan Huifang hadn't exchanged the rock sugar yet, and she didn't know if she could get it, Shen Xiaobei took advantage of the fact that no one was in the kitchen and secretly poured half a bag of small pieces of rock sugar from the space into the pot.
Then pour in a little boiling water to prevent too much rock sugar from melting and making the jam too dry.
In this era, they did not have refrigerators, so the jam could only be stored at room temperature.
If you want to keep it at room temperature for a longer time, you have to make the sugar content in the jam higher, so Shen Xiaobei can only add more rock sugar.
When the rock sugar had melted so much in the pot that it was no longer visible, Fan Huifang finally came back with the small bag of rock sugar she had exchanged for.
Shen Xiaobei didn't dare put more in, and only put a small piece in symbolically.
After the rock sugar melts in the pot, the jam can be served.
Smelling the sweet and fragrant jam, Fan Huifang couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and was the first to taste it.
"Wow, Xiaobei, this jam is delicious! It's fragrant, sweet, and a little sour. It's really appetizing! I'll have Secretary Gao and Captain Ma try it at Wanwan's wedding banquet tomorrow at noon. I'm sure they'll all say it's delicious!"
"Sis Huifang said it was so delicious, so I quickly tried it!"
Shen Xiaobei smiled and picked up the chopsticks to taste it. It tasted really good.
However, compared to her who steals all kinds of delicious modern snacks from the space every day, it is still a little too sweet.
But for people like Fan Huifang, who think white sugar is a treasure in this era, this sweet jam can indeed be considered a delicious food.
After both of them tasted it, they immediately called Ke Xiaoli, who was still looking for more glass bottles, over.
The little girl smacked her lips and tasted it, then exclaimed happily, "Sister Xiaobei, this jam is so delicious!"
"It's delicious. So before they come back, both of you should eat more!"
After smiling and asking Ke Xiaoli and Fan Huifang to eat more first, Shen Xiaobei decided to use all the remaining raspberries to make fruit wine.
