Shen Mo thought that it was because of his good teaching that Lin Wan learned to read very quickly. Little did he know that she already had a foundation, and he taught her even more attentively.
The two of them practiced until the sun was about to set, then they packed up and walked down the mountain.
Shen Mo walked in front, carrying a basket of hawthorns for her. Lin Wanwan picked up some firewood at the back and put it into the basket carried by Shen Mo. There was no other way, she was too small to hold so much, so she needed to be taken good care of.
The sky gradually darkened, smoke was coming out of the chimneys of every household, and there were few people in the farmland. Shen Mo led her along a less crowded path, and soon they arrived at her home.
He put the things at the door, straightened his clothes, and said, "Leave the basket here for now. If you go to the mountain tomorrow, just take it up there. I'm leaving first."
Lin Wanwan nodded, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Thank you so much today, Master Shen~"
Shen Mo nodded expressionlessly, turned around and walked back. It was dark, and no one saw his red ears...
Lin Wanwan took a lot of effort to drag the basket back home. Several dogs circled around her frantically. Lin Bai heard the noise and ran out to look at the mountain reds in the basket.
"Sister, are you out picking mountain reds again? Why are you back so late?"
"These are what Shen Mohuzi and the others picked for me. I can't pick so many by myself. Xiaobai, turn on the light and help me pick out the bad ones. I'm going to cook."
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Lin Wanwan touched his head, went to the kitchen to put up firewood, heated up the big bones and pancakes left over from lunch, and took the opportunity to clean the dates and hawthorns.
They had a simple meal, and just as they finished, Sister Yuying arrived.
Lin Wanwan asked Sister Yuying to help her make vertical cuts on the dates while she was removing the pits from the hawthorns.
Li Yuying was a little surprised when looking at the core removal tool. She had never seen such a delicate and shiny object before.
"Wanwan, where did you buy that? Why have I never seen it before?"
Lin Wanwan was stunned, looking at the stainless steel in her hand, and quickly said, "Shh! Sister-in-law, this is what the old immortal gave me! There is a set! There are peeled ones and pitted ones! I usually hide them!"
"Oh, then you have to put it away and let me try it!"
Lin Wan took it and demonstrated to her, "Look, sister-in-law, aim at the date pit like this, then twist it hard, and the pit will come out."
Li Yuying took it and tried it. Sure enough, a core was easily taken out. She couldn't let it go and whispered, "Oh, it's really a good thing. You must keep it well next time so that no one can see it!"
"Hehe, don't worry, sister-in-law, there's no one else here!"
Li Yuying was so coaxed by her that her eyes were full of smiles. "You, go and do something else. I'll do it while you draw the vertical stripes to remove the core!"
"Okay, thank you for troubling me, sister-in-law. I want to do something else today."
"Okay, you go first."
Lin Bai also fiddled with it out of curiosity and helped Sister Yuying.
Li Yuying warned: "Xiaobai, be careful, don't scratch your hands!"
"Sister-in-law, I'll take it slow, it's okay!"
Lin Wanwan wanted to make jam from the peaches and try to sell them tomorrow. Seeing that there were only a few peaches left, she secretly took some out of the space and also took two lemons.
Quickly peel the big, bright red peaches. If you don't do it quickly, it will oxidize and the color will not look good. Then cut the peach flesh into small cubes and marinate it with sugar and lemon juice. While this is going on, add an appropriate amount of water to the pot, put in the peach skins to boil out the color, squeeze in a few drops of lemon juice, filter it, and remove the peach skins. Pour the marinated peach flesh in, simmer over low heat until the water is boiled dry and the juice is thick. After it cools down a bit, she adds some honey to make the color more transparent.
The only problem was how to sell it. The peach jam had to be placed in jars without water or oil, otherwise it would go bad easily. But she didn't have that many jars.
Cans, she suddenly remembered that she had stockpiled hundreds of tea cans on a certain website this year. She originally wanted to sell tea, and now she could use them!
She secretly looked at Sister Yuying and Lin Bai, and saw that there were still a lot of hawthorns left in the basin, so she quickly slipped into the space. She ran to the storage room without stopping to look for them. She bought some plain small porcelain jars, which were just the right size. She picked out a few white and translucent square tea jars, which were also very airtight. After sealing the lids with oil paper, she would not be afraid to take them out.
He hurried back to the kitchen with six jars and was relieved to see Sister Yuying still sitting there.
Scoop the peach jam into a dried wooden basin, clean out the pot, add water and boil it again, put a few jars in to sterilize. After blanching, take them out and dry them.
The white jar filled with bright red peach jam looks very pretty and has a strong peach fragrance. Wouldn't this jar be sold for one or two taels of silver?
Lin Wanwan filled several jars, leaving more than half of the basin empty. She then found a small clay jar and filled it up, preparing to leave it for Sister Yuying.
