"What is the quote from this country?" Shen Li asked.
"They haven't made an offer yet." The political commissar said, and he looked at Shen Li with more and more admiration.
The seafood preservation vehicle developed by Shen 땢志 is so amazing that even foreign countries are scrambling to buy it!
"Tell them that the starting price is 2 million and the highest bidder wins," said Shen Li.
"Two million?" The political commissar was shocked.
It goes without saying how terrifying 2 million is in this era.
Shen 땢zhi is really brave to say that.
"Yes." Shen Li said, "If it's less than 2 million, no discussion."
"...Okay." The political commissar admired Shen Li more and more.
…
Shen Li went to the back mountain with her sisters-in-law.
"There are so many ripe lychees here. If you don't eat them in time, they will go rot." said the sisters-in-law.
Each of the guys took a big bag to pick litchi.
The lychee trees on this mountain are all wild lychees, not planted artificially, but they are very large, and the heavy fruits press down on the branches, almost bending the green leaves.
Shen Li stood on tiptoe and threw bunches of lychees into the bag she brought.
She was a little tired, so she peeled a lychee. After peeling off the red skin, the juicy white flesh of the lychee was exposed.
Shen Li brought the lychee flesh to her lips and put it in her mouth.
The lychee flesh is juicy and sweet when you take a bite. The tender flesh spreads in your mouth, filling your mouth with a sweet taste.
If you eat a few of them, they are very sweet and delicious, but if you eat too much in one go, you will feel choked.
After all, the lychee is too sweet.
With so many lychees, if you pick them and don’t eat them, they won’t stay fresh for a few days even if you put them in the refrigerator.
"We can't eat these lychees if we pick them, they're bad," said Narcissus's wife.
"Yeah, the temperature on our island is almost 40 degrees Celsius, and we don't have a refrigerated cellar," Zhang Ye said. "We are not like Sister Li who has a refrigerator at home. We don't have a refrigerator at home, so we can't keep the food for long. It will become sour and smelly in less than half a day."
"It's a pity to waste such a good thing." Another sister-in-law said, "There are so many lychees that even if the whole family eats together, they can't finish them. And they will be choking after eating for a while."
"There are so many good things on our island, but they can't be stored for long. What a pity..." said the sisters-in-law.
Although there are seafood transport vehicles now, they are still unable to transport all the fresh fruits from fruit farmers in the villages near the island, not to mention the wild fruits from the mountains on their island.
Moreover, it takes time to produce seafood trucks. Before the seafood trucks are mass-produced, this batch of lychees has already rotted.
Shen Li suddenly had an idea, "I have an idea."
"What's your idea?" Sister Narcissus asked curiously.
"We can make these fruits into canned fruits, which will last longer. We can also make them into dried fruits." Shen Li said, her eyes lighting up.
"Canned fruit? I don't know how to make it..."
"I mean, this thing is hard to come by... I've only bought canned meat from the supply and marketing cooperative."
"I know how to make it." Shen Li said, "I'll try it at home first, and then let everyone taste it when it's done. If it tastes good, you can learn to make it with me."
"OK!"
"Sister Li, everything you cook is delicious! Last time, we learned how to make the Yangzhi Dew you made, and everyone in the military compound said it was delicious! Adults and children alike love it!"
"And the durian bun!" said Narcissus. "Last time Duoduo and Minghui brought it to our house, my son Qiangqiang finished it in two bites and even kept shouting that he wanted more!"
"I'm really jealous of the two kids at Muli's house. They can eat delicious food in different ways every day! All the kids on our island say they envy Duoduo and Minghui!"
The sisters-in-law laughed.
…
Shen Li returned home with a big bag of lychees.
Today is the weekend, and the two children are not in school. Minghui is doing homework at home, and Duoduo is painting at home.
Seeing Shen Li coming back, the two children's eyes lit up.
"Mom!" Duoduo stretched out her little arms, ran to Shen Li and asked for a hug.
Shen Li bent down, smiled softly, and hugged her symbolically for a while, "Duoduo, be good. Mommy is going to make canned lychees for you. You two should take care of your own things first."
"Mom, I'll help you!" Duoduo wished she could stick to her mother all day long. She was reluctant to be separated from Shen Li.
"Mom, I'll help you." Lu Minghui stood up and looked at Shen Li expectantly with his dark eyes.
Since he called her "Mom" last time, Lu Minghui has liked this title more and more.
He likes to call Shen Li "Mom".
땤Shen Li's "Hey" was like a response to him calling his mother a reward.
He wanted to run into his mother's arms and hug her neck like his sister.
But he was a little man, and he was afraid that his mother would dislike him if he said that.
"Okay, then you two come over and help me." Shen Li smiled.
She carried Duoduo to the kitchen, and Lu Minghui followed them.
Shen Li placed the big bag of lychees on the kitchen table. She found two small stools and let Duoduo and Minghui stand on one each.
Duoduo stood on Shen Li's left side, standing on a pink stool; Minghui stood on Shen Li's right side, standing on a blue stool.
Shen Li divided the lychees in the bag into two portions, one for each of them.
To prevent the juice from the peeled lychees from splashing onto the two children, Shen Li put a small apron on each of them.
The mother and her son were peeling lychees in the kitchen. The scene was indescribably warm and beautiful.
Duoduo peeled a lychee, and with a sizzling sound, the juice sprayed all over her little face.
Duoduo let out a low cry, then burst into a giggle.
"Be careful, don't spray it in your eyes." Shen Li said with a smile. She looked at Ming Hui, who had a bowl of round, plump, and translucent lychee flesh in front of him. "Ming Hui, you did a great job."
Although he is a boy, he is very meticulous and does his work carefully.
Duoduo found that the lychees peeled by her brother were big and round, and they were complete lychees, while the lychees she peeled were all torn in half by herself, and not a single one was complete. No wonder her mother praised her brother but refused to praise herself.
Duoduo pouted in dissatisfaction. She wanted to perform well and let her mother praise her more!
She has to do better than her brother!
Duoduo peeled the lychees seriously and carefully, for fear of rotting the flesh.
"Mom, look!" Duoduo picked up the peeled, round and moist lychee flesh and handed it to Shen Li.
"Not bad, Duoduo, you peeled it much better than before." Shen Li touched Duoduo's dark hair and praised.
"Hmph." Duoduo looked at Lu Minghui complacently, stuck out her tongue at him and made a face.
Lu Minghui was somewhat helpless about his sister's little thoughts of pampering, but he knew that his sister was getting better and better, more outgoing, more lively and lovely, and gradually becoming like a normal child.
These changes are all brought about by my mother.
In his mind, Shen Li was already his biological mother. He would study hard and work hard in the future to make a lot of money and be filial to his mother.
