Chapter 5: Making candied dates and selling them for money



It is not difficult to tell from the original body's actions that she is a cruel and smart person. She is cruel because she treats her younger brother harshly on weekdays, but she can also donate three taels of silver to the village every year, which not only gets help from the village but also gives her a good reputation. She will not swallow her anger if she is bullied, so that they dare not bully her again. She also gets along well with her neighbors, knowing that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. She really dare not underestimate the original owner for these things, but it's a pity that she couldn't survive at such a young age. In the future, she will live well for the original body and take good care of her younger brother.

She dried her hair, changed into clean clothes, folded the original owner's bedding and put it in the closet, and took out her own bedding and spread it out. Although it is said that when in Rome, one should do as the Romans do, but she would suffer from insomnia at night without the familiar smell.

The next day, just after dawn, Lin Wanwan was awakened by the crowing of roosters. She was very irritable and wanted to fight those roosters to a fight.

Finally, he resigned himself to his fate and climbed out of bed, turning around and entering the space.

After washing up in the small building, he led the cattle and sheep outside to graze, and then carried two large buckets of cornmeal to the back mountain to feed the chickens.

As soon as they saw Lin Wanwan, several big white geese, led by chickens and ducks, swooped over with great enthusiasm...

She poured out the food and went to check the shed. The grass nests were filled with eggs, with some broken shells next to them. It seemed that the eggs had to be collected every day, otherwise some chickens would peck at them.

She picked up the eggs scattered on the side and put them into the bucket, leaving some warm ones behind. A hen would hatch these eggs, and she couldn't eat so many eggs now, so she decided to keep them to hatch the chicks.

In the end, I picked up a full bucket of eggs, but I don’t know how long the eggs can stay in the space.

The crops in the space were almost ripe. If she relied on herself to harvest them, she would die of exhaustion before she could finish harvesting them all. It seemed that she had to go back and ask 857 for help.

After leaving the space, Lin Wanwan brought out the dates and hawthorns that she had processed yesterday, started to light a fire to boil the dates, and also boiled a few eggs with the water in the pot.

Lin Bai also got up, rubbing his eyes. Lin Wanwan asked him to wash his face and stuffed two eggs into his mouth. After the little guy finished eating the eggs, he immediately came over to light the fire for her, and Lin Wanwan followed him.

To make candied dates, you need white sugar, rock sugar and honey. You can use less honey, but you can't skimp on white sugar and rock sugar. This big pot of dates needs one pound of white sugar and one pound of rock sugar. I don't know if the price of sugar here is high. She only has seven or eight boxes. At this rate, they will definitely be used up within three months.

Place the dates on a clean wooden board to dry them, then boil a pot of water again, put in sugar and honey, and add the dates after the sugar has dissolved. Simmer over low heat. To prevent the pot from sticking, turn the dates frequently until the sugar liquid slowly becomes sticky, then turn them over again so that each date is evenly coated with molasses. Then take them out and place them in the sun to dry.

Because the seeds have been removed, each candied date is crystal clear, like a ruby, and is extremely tempting.

Then clean the pot and make the sugared hawthorns. The water used to clean the pot should not be thrown away. Pour it into a wooden bucket separately. The little animals in the space like to drink it.

Making sugar-frosted hawthorn is relatively simple. The only thing to pay attention to is the temperature of the sugar. The skin of the hawthorn cannot be scalded. After the sugar water slowly turns into small bubbles, add a spoonful of white vinegar, then remove from the heat. After it cools for a while, add the hawthorn and stir. The sugar will gradually turn white and condense on the surface and flesh of the hawthorn, making it white with a hint of red, and sour and sweet.

Lin Bai stared at the pile of dates drying in the sun and swallowed, "Sister, are you going to sell all these dates for money?"

Lin Wanwan stuffed a few into his mouth and looked at the fruits of her labor with satisfaction. She tried this and that, and they all tasted great, and those made with firewood were especially sweet.

"How is it? Is it delicious? I want to take these to the county town to sell for money tomorrow. What do you think?"

Lin Bai nodded vigorously, "Well, sister, your cooking is so delicious, it will definitely sell for a lot of money!"

Lin Wanwan smiled and patted his head, "But you've eaten so much candy, your mouth is so sweet, okay, you can eat here, it doesn't matter if you eat more, I made a lot anyway."

Lin Bai was stunned. He didn't expect his sister to give him some to eat. He was so touched that he said, "Sister, I'll just try some. I still have to sell these for money!"

Lin Wanwan felt a little sad and slapped him, "Just eat it if I tell you to! There are still so many dates on the tree. If there are none left, I can make a new one. You are a real man, why are you so timid like a little girl!"

Lin Bai grabbed her sleeve and said hurriedly: "Sister, don't be angry! I will eat it. I will grow up to be a man and take care of you!"

"That's good enough. Eat it. I'll go take a rest."

She sat in the house and drank two sips of water. Seeing Lin Bai happily trying this and eating that, she smiled and shook her head.

I found two pieces of clean oil paper, wrapped some candied dates and hawthorn balls, and prepared to send some to Sister Yuying, and to ask about some things at the same time.

"Xiaobai, I'm going to Sister Yuying's house, do you want to come with me?"

When Lin Bai heard this, he ran to her and said, "Sister, I want to go play with Brother Ping An!"

"Okay, let's go."

Lin Wanwan locked the door and came to Li Yuying's door. She knocked on the door and called out twice.

After a while, Li Yuying hurried out and opened the door. When she saw that it was Lin Wanwan and Lin Bai, she quickly welcomed them in.

"Wanwan Xiaobai, you haven't eaten yet? Come in quickly, your brother Dayong and I just had dinner too."

"Ah? No need, sister-in-law. We've already eaten. You guys eat first and we'll come back later..."

"Why are you being so polite? It's not like you haven't eaten at my house before. Come in!"

Lin Wanwan and the others were finally dragged into the house, where they saw a dark and strong man sitting at the table. He should be Lin Dayong, and next to him was a little boy of about ten years old, named Lin Ping'an.
