The first batch of fruits were basically fully cooked after being dried in the sun for five days. These days, Tang Wan would pick up a few to taste whenever she passed by. The taste was really different every day.
By the afternoon, the dried fruit has become chewy, slightly sticky, and has a sweet and sour taste.
Grandma looked at the ones that were hung out to dry on the first day and said they were ready to be packed.
Grandma took out the oil paper bag that she had prepared in advance and spread it on the table.
Then put the gathered dried fruits on top and pack them.
Oil paper is waterproof and moisture-proof. Grandma said that it can be stored longer this way.
Dried fruits will shrink after being dried in the sun. On the first day, the two large baskets of fruits only turned out to be a dozen bags at most.
After making the dumplings, Grandma Tang dried them in a pile. One portion was for Tang's father, one portion was for Tang Sheng, and the other portion was for Qin Zheng's aunt. All the dumplings dried on the first day were eaten, and the ones dried later were kept for herself.
The last time Tang Sheng sent a package to Tang Wan, most of it was game. Tang Sheng got some things from somewhere in the army, and he sent them all to Tang Wan.
Tang Wan herself put it here with her grandmother to eat.
At this time, Grandma Yi even gave Tang Sheng a little more, saying that he had teammates in the army and needed a lot.
After the arrangement, Grandma asked Qin Zheng to take Tang Wan to the town to mail the package on his day off tomorrow.
After picking fruits these days, the villagers immediately went to work. The corn in the fields is about to be harvested, and there is still a lot of work to do in the fields.
Tomorrow is the last break before the autumn harvest. The next time I go to town, it will depend on when the autumn harvest is over.
At this time, the autumn harvest depends entirely on manpower, which is a race against time against nature.
If it is too early, the crops will not grow well and will not weigh well. If it is too late, there is a risk of rain one day, and most of the hard work will be ruined.
The most important thing is that manual harvesting is slow now. If you work slowly, it will be too late to plow the soil and plant wheat later, so this is the reason for the rush to harvest.
The captain also mentioned this matter early on, and the villagers should all go to the town tomorrow.
On the first day, before daybreak, Sister Yanhong and Zhong Ling had already gotten up. They were going to grab a spot on the ox cart.
Ox carts are not enough on normal days, let alone on a daily basis.
They got up to wash, and the male educated youth next door did the same. In such an environment, Tang Wan couldn't sleep either, so she got up to wash as well.
Taking the letters written to Tang's father and Tang Sheng, he went to Grandma Qi's place.
People of this age sleep less, and Grandma has already gotten up early and is busy in the kitchen.
Qin Zheng seemed to have just woken up and was standing in the yard.
I don’t know if he didn’t sleep, but he looked resentful. He went to the backyard to wash up when he saw Tang Wan coming.
Grandma asked Tang Wan to look at the jam she had just made. This jam was not as durable as dried fruits, so she made it in the morning to save some time.
After Tang Wan and Qin Zheng had breakfast, they immediately set off for the town.
The jam was packed in glass bottles, and because they didn't fit in large containers, each person was only given one bottle. Grandma found a lot of newspapers to wrap them up.
All the things were put down in one basket, and Tang Wan sat in the back holding it.
The two of them set off for the town.
