The shape of the fruit was a bit like an apple, but it was not as big as an apple. It was about the size of a child's fist, and could be bitten in half with a single bite.
Lin Xiaorong sighed, this kind of fruit was extremely suitable to be used as jam.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaorong said to Lu Qingyu who was on the tree: "This fruit is good, but pick more. Once tomorrow's fruit is ready, we can bring it to the county to sell."
Looking at Lin Xiaorong's happy expression, the corner of Lu Qingyu's mouth curled up. He looked to be in a good mood, plucking the fruits while thinking about how to tell Lin Xiaorong what he wanted to do, but looking at Lin Xiaorong's happy appearance, Lu Qingyu felt that he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He thought for a moment, then asked: "Xiao Rong, have you always lived in this village?"
nodded and said sincerely: "That's right, I've lived in this village since I was young, what's wrong with that?"
"Then why are you making so many strange things? Jam... I've never even heard of it. " Lu Qingyu didn't have much intention to ask about Lin Xiaorong's secret, but there was actually a kind of curiosity hidden inside.
Lin Xiaorong paused for a moment. Although he had already known that someone would ask him about this, he did not expect that Lu Qingyu would be the first one to ask.
Laughing softly, Lin Xiaorong laughed: "My mother used to cook a lot of new things. She used to find things novel and then slowly learned them."
Looking at Lin Xiaorong's expression, Lu Qingyu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. This girl was really very strong. If she didn't have a strong heart, why would she reveal such an expression when mentioning her dead parents?
Strong and a little nostalgic.
Lu Qingyu realised that he could not understand her more and more. This person who saved him was really attractive.
Lin Xiaorong who was picking up fruits on the ground did not expect Lu Qingyu to think of such a thing. Lin Xiaorong only focused on picking up fruits, and even thought about what kind of method he should use to make his jam sell better if no one was willing to buy it.
It was very easy to find this unknown fruit, and now was the season for it to ripen. Because there was not much water in the fruit, its taste was not good, and even if it tasted good, it would still be discouraged from eating the fruit by this strange taste.
Even to the very end, Lu Qingyu had never thought of how she would open her mouth and head to the place where she was chased to take a look that day. Although Lin Xiaorong could tell that Lu Qingyu seemed to want to go and take a look, since Lu Qingyu did not say anything, she did not say much either.
After Lin Xiaorong and Lu Qingyu returned home, Lin Xiaorong started to make the jam. This fruit not only had a shape and taste similar to an apple, but even this fruit had a structure similar to an apple. After removing the nucleus in the middle and cutting the fruit into pieces, the piece of flesh wasn't very big.
He placed the piece of fruit into the pot filled with boiling water and added a lot of sugar. Because he had bought white sugar last time, he could only make use of white sugar this time.
Then, he continued to cook until the fruit was soft, Lin Xiaorong picked up a spoon and stirred it, realizing that it was a little sticky already, he picked out a little and savored it, the taste was not bad, it was more delicious than the first time he made jam.
Lin Xiaorong took out a steamed bun and cut it into small pieces. Not too thick, covered it with jam and carried it into the house, then said to his brothers and Lu Qingyu: "Quickly, come and try the taste of this jam."
After saying that, he picked up a piece and tasted it. It tasted good, not much worse than the bread. It tasted sour and sweet in his mouth, so it was good for breakfast.
After Lin Hanshuang and the rest tasted his cooking, they all gave him a thumbs up. This kind of taste, to them, was a rare delicacy.
After receiving the praises from his brothers, the next day, Lin Xiaorong went to the county city with the bucket of jam and the bamboo basket of dried mushroom that she had previously finished drying up. The only difference was that Lin Xiaorong was able to pay for the tickets of two people.
If it weren't for the fact that the boatmen were easier to talk to, she wouldn't have been able to go to the county city, and therefore wouldn't have been able to get so much money.
Of course, although this money was only 3000 yuan, in the modern world, she wouldn't care much about it. But in the ancient times, Lin Xiaorong never would have thought that she would actually be able to earn that much money in a single day.
This time, Lin Xiaorong still planned to go to Han Cangping's place and sell a stalk of unaged grass so that his family could have a good year, and build a new house in the future.
Lin Xiaorong looked at Lu Qingyu who was carrying a big barrel, and in the end, he felt that he should have sold all of his things before selling that unaged grass. He even decided which unaged grass he should sell, and chose the shortest one in the space.
The ages of the unaged grass were all the same, and the only difference was their heights. Lin Xiaorong already knew that the ginseng in her space had already started to change, and it seemed that the words he said earlier about how to accelerate the growth of the ginseng could change the speed of the growth of the ginseng in space?
Of course, if it was in the modern era, these kind of unaged grass would usually sell for a lot of money, but this was an ancient time. Lin Xiaorong wasn't very clear about the prices of the things in the ancient times, but he knew that this world was an era where the difference between rich and poor was extremely obvious.
This kind of thing should be sold to the rich. However, no matter how rich a place was, Lin Xiaorong simply did not have any connections, and did not even know who the rich were.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Qingyu looked at Lin Xiaorong and chuckled. He paused for a moment and asked: "What's wrong? Why is there such an expression on his face now? "
Shaking his head, Lin Xiaorong did not know what was going on. Was it because she was worrying about him? Laughing softly, Lin Xiaorong said with a curved smile: "Nothing much, I'm just worried about the people here. What if they don't accept anything new?"
"I won't." After a long while, Lu Qingyu suddenly said this.
He looked at Lu Qingyu with a puzzled expression. Lin Xiaorong was curious, why would Lu Qingyu reveal such an expression? This kind of feeling made Lin Xiaorong feel that it was very reliable, and it was even a kind of feeling that Lin Xiaorong felt was a little familiar.
Lu Qingyu chuckled, then said: "The food you make is very delicious."
Looking at Lu Qingyu's expression, Lin Xiaorong's face started to turn red, and then she coughed lightly and said: "I, of course I know how to cook, but... Those people did not know ah, it is just like when we are here to sell dried mushroom s for the first time. When they saw the strange items, they did not expect to buy them.
Helplessly shaking his head, Lin Xiaorong sighed: "The people here are all smarter than monkeys."
Although he said it like that, Lin Xiaorong did not have any intentions of complaining. After all, they were buying and selling things, you and I are willing, what is there to complain about?
Lin Xiaorong's appearance was really too adorable. Lu Qingyu pursed his lips, and in the end, his lips formed a stubborn arc, but he still didn't pull himself back. He smiled at Lin Xiaorong and said: "This way, you truly have a childish side to you."
Although he did not know what Lu Qingyu's words meant, Lin Xiaorong still laughed lightly: "How am I not childish? It's just that the children of poor families are in charge early on. " After saying that, his expression did not change at all.
The two of them quickly found a place without people. Lin Xiaorong wanted to learn from his previous experiences and place the things here, but he heard an old grandpa next to the empty seat saying to her, "Little girl, have you not come to set up stalls and sell anything recently?"
Lin Xiaorong thought about it again. Could it be that the previous time was considered to be a long time ago? So he nodded and asked with some doubt: "Old grandpa, what's wrong? What's wrong with you? "
When the old grandfather saw Lin Xiaorong's innocent and lively appearance, he sighed lightly and said unhappily, "Half a month ago, the county magistrate's young master was suffering from anorexia, and this illness is really severe. He hasn't eaten properly for almost half a month, let alone the coarse grain, even if he ate fine grains, he would puke.
The county magistrate's young master actually had anorexia? Because they ate too well?
Lin Xiaorong secretly retorted, and then chuckled, he was really too mischievous, to think that he would actually think like that.
Thinking like this, Lin Xiaorong turned to the old grandfather and asked: "Old grandfather, how do you know that I haven't come here to sell anything in the recent period of time?"
Perhaps it was because he was a barefoot doctor in his previous life?
When Lin Xiaorong's chuckle landed in the old man's eyes, he was practically encouraging him to continue speaking. The old man then excitedly said, "Because during this period of time, all the people who sell new things will first go to the county magistrate's office to show the son of the county magistrate, and see if the son of the county magistrate will be interested in their little tricks. If we can only see the illness of the county magistrate, then we will be able to receive quite a bit of money as a reward."
Hearing the grandpa's words, Lin Xiaorong chuckled twice, but he didn't really have the intention to go and treat the county magistrate's son.
