Chapter 35: Aunt Jiang will be destitute...
There were two of them, Zhuzi and Shuanzi, and each of them ate four!
There are so many meat dishes and egg soups, not just meat buns.
The brothers Zhuzi and Shuanzi blushed and felt a little embarrassed for eating too much.
Jiang Lianzhu smiled and said, "The more you eat, the faster you grow. The fact that you can eat so much shows that you admire your Aunt Jiang's cooking skills. Don't be embarrassed. Also, I'll pack a few big meat buns for you to take back so that your grandmother can have a taste too."
The pillar said no, "No, no, no, we have eaten enough."
"Just take it. Your grandma is a good person. She has taken care of us mothers many times. It's her right to take some meat buns back for her to try. Also, you helped me pick so many pears today, which is worth so many buns. If your grandma doesn't accept it, I won't let her help me next time." Jiang Lianzhu said with a smile.
He picked up a clean small dustpan and scooped them up a few times with his hands. He grabbed seven or eight and filled the small dustpan before he stopped.
Let Zhuzi and Shuanzi go back.
The two brothers Zhuzi walked out of the Jiang family with tears in their eyes.
"Brother, why didn't I realize that Aunt Jiang is such a nice person before? I will definitely help Aunt Jiang more in the future and help her pick and peel pears every day."
"Me too! But we can't stay at their house for dinner anymore. If we keep eating like this, Aunt Jiang will go broke..."
"good!"
The two brothers took the big meat buns home. When Grandma Lu and others saw them, they were all stunned.
Once the situation was asked, everyone knew it.
Grandpa Zhuzi said, "You guys ate so much, and she still gave you so much. How can this be tolerated! Old woman, what do you think we should do about this? We can't take advantage of these orphans and widows."
Zhuzi's mother stepped forward and was about to pull Zhuzi's ears, "No wonder your grandma called you to come back for dinner, but you refused to come back. There are so many delicious foods, but you didn't take it easy and ate so much..."
It was Granny Lu who spoke up again, "Forget about the pillars and bolts. Just keep them if they give them to us. If their autumn pear paste business is good, we can go to the mountains to help them pick pears when we have nothing to do. Men, women, young and old can all go and help them with some work. It's the same thing. We have a big family anyway, so it won't delay anything."
"Grandma, we think so too. We go to the mountains to pick pears every day and help them peel them every day! Hehe..."
"Well, the villagers came back and said that her autumn pear paste was a business with no capital investment. She sold more than one or two taels of silver today. They were all jealous. She must have exaggerated. How can business be so good? Besides, one or two days of good business doesn't mean it will be good every day. Pears are in season too. After a while, they will be gone. How can they make a living? They should save as much as they can. They can't go to other people's houses to eat and make them spend money."
"I understand!"
…
Jiang Lianzhu cleared the dishes while the three cubs went to feed their wolf pup pet.
The little wolf cubs just eat and sleep in their den all day long, and never come out to walk around. They are still too young.
This is better, so I don’t have to bother taking care of them.
After finishing the work, the little girl had already started to doze off, she was very sleepy. Jiang Lianzhu gave her a bath and put her to bed to sleep.
Said to Dabao and Erbao, "You go to bed first, I will make the autumn pear paste."
Dabao refused to go, "I'll help you."
Since Dabao doesn’t go, Erbao naturally won’t go either.
I have to help Jiang Lianzhu.
Jiang Lianzhu had no choice, because her children were so thoughtful and capable, so the three of them worked together to make autumn pear paste.
The steps are actually not complicated, it is just a delicate job. You need to know when to add which Chinese medicine, when to add sugar, and control the heat well.
This time there were many pears, so I boiled two kinds.
One is thinner and the other is thicker.
The thick one is planned to be sold for 500 wen per catty, and the thin one for 200 wen.
The thicker ones require about ten pounds of pears to produce one pound, while the thinner ones require about five pounds of pears to produce one pound.
In the end, we harvested ten kilograms of thick autumn pear paste and twenty kilograms of thinner autumn pear paste.
After tasting it, it was even better.
Today I added one or two medicinal ingredients such as Luo Han Guo, and the autumn pear paste tastes better and has a better effect.
The products are packed into containers of one jin, two jin, five jin, etc. Yesterday they were sold by the liang, but today there is enough supply so they can be sold by the jin.
And her packaging today has also been improved a lot. The shiny black jar makes the autumn pear paste look better and more attractive.
It took almost until late at night to complete all this.
Halfway through, the two children fell asleep leaning against the firewood because they were too tired.
After all, they are just children.
Jiang Lianzhu held them one in each hand and carried them back to bed to sleep. She continued... When she was done, she didn't even bother to take a shower and fell asleep.
Sleep soundly.
I work hard every day here and sleep soundly.
Unlike her previous life where she lived on the edge of a knife and was under too much pressure, she seemed to prefer a life where she could sleep soundly.
***
Early in the morning, Jiang Lianzhu's biological clock woke up early again.
I didn’t sleep for long, but it was a deep sleep and I felt refreshed.
After she got up, she started exercising and found that the little guy Dabao was also up.
She could see that Dabao's self-control was not comparable to that of ordinary children.
The mother and son did basic training in the yard, practicing boxing, horse stance, and regulating breathing, and Dabao followed suit.
It is best to learn martial arts when you are young. Dabao used to be malnourished and thin, so it is indeed time for him to train.
It was not until dawn that the mother and son finished their work. Jiang Lianzhu took the vegetable seeds and went to the backyard to plant and water the vegetables.
Dabao went to wake up Erbao and Sanbao and ask them to get up and wash up.
The land in the yard was turned over a few days ago, and I applied fertilizer and sowed seeds directly. I planted a piece of cabbage, a piece of radish, a piece of leek, and some green onions and garlic sprouts.
After planting and watering, it was already dawn.
The three kids are all packed and went to the morning market together yesterday. They all found it fun and want to go together again today.
Let’s go together.
Anyway, this little money for the trip is not a big deal. Dabao and Erbao can help Jiang Lianzhu by counting money, passing things, etc. But the little girl is younger, and I'm afraid she might be kidnapped, so I just need to keep her by her side and watch her more closely.
As usual, I waited for the ox cart at the entrance of the village.
There are more people today than yesterday, all carrying large and small baskets.
Jiang Lianzhu was sharp-eyed and noticed that most of the things in their baskets were wild pears or black pear juice...
I could smell the hemp smell even through the backpack.
When they saw Jiang Lianzhu, they seemed a little uncomfortable and did not provoke Jiang Lianzhu like they did yesterday.
Jiang Lianzhu just smiled, holding her little girl and holding her two sons' hands.
After waiting for a while, the ox cart arrived. These people rushed to squeeze onto the cart, deliberately not leaving space for Jiang Lianzhu and her son. They filled the cart and wanted to sell their autumn pear paste first.
