Research revealed that sour pears have effects such as lowering blood pressure, relieving phlegm and cough, and promoting liver protection.
The pear soup, pear juice, and dried fruit that I just thought of all have recipes; you just need to add a certain proportion of white sugar and salt.
The simplest way is to dry the sour pears and make them into candied fruit. Although the dried pears without added sugar still have a sour taste, they taste much better than eating them raw.
The reason she thought so much was because it was such a waste to let so many fruits fall to the ground and rot.
If we can make dried fruit and take it to the county town to exchange for goods, I'm sure someone will want it.
With that in mind, she picked about 10 pounds of fruit, packed the straw in her basket tightly, and stuffed it all in.
After working for a while longer at the grass-cutting spot, as the sun was almost directly overhead, she called the children to come down the mountain.
After handing the grass to the squad leader, Xie Yuyao returned to the educated youth compound. The other educated youth were somewhat surprised to see that she had picked so many sour pears.
Wu Lihong helped her take off her basket. "These fruits are very sour, do you like them?"
"I want to make dried fruit, let's see if it tastes good." Xie Yuyao rubbed her sore shoulders as she cooked with Ren Fei; it was their turn to cook today.
Looking at the basket of sour pears, Wu Lihong asked, "How do you make these candied pears?"
"Wash them clean and cut them into chunks first, soak them in salt water and sun-dry them for a few days, then boil and sun-dry them again, and that's it." Xie Yuyao stuffed a piece of firewood into the fire, turned to Wu Lihong who was fetching water to wash the pears and said, "I'll do it after I finish eating, no rush."
Wu Lihong said that when she had nothing to do, she and Yang Shumei washed the fruit, removed the stems and peels, then removed the pits and cut the fruit into pieces, and soaked them in salt water.
Another discordant voice arose: "You used so much salt without permission, you have to make up for it!"
"Would I lack your salt?" Xie Yuyao retorted.
Seeing the sparks fly again, Wu Lihong quickly changed the subject, "We only have one winnowing basket, which might not be enough. I'll go borrow a few from Aunt Xu's house not far away."
After she left, Xie Yuyao looked at Yang Shumei, who was still weak, and took out some noodles to cook her a bowl of thin noodles.
When one is physically unwell, one's mind becomes vulnerable. Yang Shumei was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears, which made Xie Yuyao even more reluctant to let her go.
Although it was an accident, it was caused by her. I just hope Yang Shumei gets better soon.
