Chapter 318

From the Xie family, song Xintong went to the Song family, which is not far away.

The twins are still in Xie's house. She came back here alone. As soon as she entered the house, Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei came running with her tail wagging and yelling around her. She was very intimate.

"All right, all right, stop yelling." Song Xintong finally came out from the warm welcome of the two dogs. After sitting in the flower hall, he drank a mouthful of warm tea, "it's better to be at home, it's cool."

Waiting on Yang Xiaoyue echoed: "the girl said very well, it's not hot to sleep under the quilt at night, but there are more mosquitoes."

"What are you afraid of when you have mosquito nets?" Song Xintong held his cheek and looked out of the window at the peach tree. On the tree were green and red peaches, "ah, what else are there peaches? I haven't seen any peaches on the peach trees in the village these two days. "

"The girl wasn't in the village before. I don't know. They looked a little red and took them off. Now it's estimated that only the garden behind the house has them." Yang Xiaoyue said, "do you want to have a taste? The red one is not sour, but it's not soft. It's crisp. "

Song Xintong said, "pick two for me."

Soon, Yang Xiaoyue ran out to pick four or five, cleaned them, put them on a plate and brought them in: "girl, have a taste."

Song Xintong chose a big one, half red and half green. The red part is a little soft, and the green part is hard.

Smell, peach fragrance suddenly ran into the nose, there is no honey peach sweet taste, more a kind of astringent sour taste, but song Xintong smell saliva, but unconsciously surge, opened a bite, click, crisp and sweet.

Although the peaches are not red enough, they are not sour. They taste good and delicious. They are much better than those picked in the mountains last year, but the varieties have not been changed. It's really strange that the taste has improved.

"How many peaches are there in our back mountain?" Asked song Xintong.

Yang Xiaoyue said: "it's quite a lot. The maidservants count it. It's estimated that there are forty or fifty peaches on each peach tree, but some are big and some are small. They can eat a lot."

"I'll see." Song Xintong took another peach and walked slowly back to the garden. At the beginning, he wanted to read books here, meet friends and eat fruit, but he didn't expect to get married early, so he had no chance.

Song Xintong sat in the clean Pavilion and on the carved armchair beside his bed. He looked at the peach forest outside, the stream murmuring, the blue sky and white clouds reflected in the water, and the red Koi swam in the water. Hearing the sound of their walking, the koi swung its red tail, rolled up the water flower, and soon hid under the stone crevice, leaving only a circle of ripples.

"Peaches are a lot." Song Xintong grabs the peach branch by the window and pinches the peach on it. Most of the peaches are soft and some of them are eaten by the sparrows in the forest.

"Does your mother have any way to make these peaches?" Song Xintong felt that it was a waste to let it fall into soil.

Yang Xiaoyue shook her head: "my mother can only make peach wine, but the girl said she would not sell it, so she only made two jars, and she would drink it when she wanted to drink it next year."

Song Xintong looked at these peaches and thought about it. Otherwise, he could make dried peaches and eat them as snacks.

It was soon decided, "take all the peaches off, and we'll make them into dried peaches to eat."

"Well Yang Xiaoyue immediately ran to the house and called Wang and Daya who had just returned home. Each of them took a big basket and began to pick it up.

There are more than 100 peach trees in this area. You don't have to pick them carefully. You can pick them all directly. It takes about two hours to finish. You can pick three baskets full of peaches.

After fighting back the peaches, they were officially cleaned. Song Xintong asked, "Aunt Wang, can you make preserved fruits?"

Wang shook his head, "only went to the preserved fruit store to buy, never made their own."

"I know a general way, but I don't know if it's the same as the preserved fruit shop." Song Xintong hesitated to tell Wang what he knew, "first peel off these peaches, and then cut them in half. If you think they are too big, cross cut them again. Then boil water in the pot, put more sugar and boil them together. You can make a cup of tea."

"After picking it up, put it together with the sugar into the jar and soak it for five or six hours, then cook it again. This time, you only need to cook half a cup of tea, then pick it up and drain the sugar to dry."

"If we don't want to be too sweet, let's put a little less sugar. If we don't think it's enough, let's add sugar and cook it again. This time, we'll cook a cup of tea, and we'll be caught and dried."

Wang heard very confused: "how much sugar do you want to put?"

"It depends on your grasp. These peaches are still a little sour and astringent. It's better to be moderate sour and sweet, which is more delicious." Song Xintong said: "after drying, it's almost done. Just put it in the jar and keep it."

Wang is good at cooking. After listening to song Xintong's words, he knew that he had to figure out for himself, "girl, I'll do a little bit first and have a try. You can taste it. If it's bad, I'll add or subtract a little more."

"Not bad." Song Xintong nodded, "it doesn't matter if you can't make it. It's OK to boil all the sauce."

Yang Xiaoyue said: "girl, don't worry, my mother can certainly do it."

"Well, I think so, too." Song Xintong came out of the kitchen and met the poplar tree coming back from the outside. "Uncle Yang, are the boxes ready?"

"Girl, it's all ready." Poplar wiped wipe perspiration, ran said: "also will oilcloth are bought back, try it, to ensure that there will be no leakage."

Song Xintong nodded: "when was the ship?"

"There is a freighter going from Yizhou to Jiangnan and Lingnan to load our three big boxes tonight." "The people at the dock said that our big boxes could not be carried into the cabin, they could only be put on the deck," Yang said

"Yes." Song Xintong took a look at the sky, "now it's a quarter past you. Let's get ready quickly and send it as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, girl. I've hired a helper. Now I'm helping to fish shrimp in the shrimp field. I can fill three boxes in half an hour at most." Said the poplar.

"Well." Song Xintong nodded, and asked Daya to carry three pieces of ice out of the ice cellar, one in each box, so there was no need to worry about the death of shrimp.

Song Xintong follows him to the edge of the shrimp field and looks at Xie Daniu and he Ershu. They are catching the overflowing prawns in the shrimp field into a big box. In addition, they have packed most of the boxes of snails, no matter how big or small.

"Girl, I didn't expect so many shrimps here."

"The restaurant sells dozens of Jin a day, but it doesn't cost much." Song Xintong looked at the box filled with shrimp, dense, crawling, suddenly goose bumps are up, "quickly cover the lid, to don't sun, quickly sent to the dock, don't miss the shipping date."

Poplar said: "girl, don't worry, we'll send it right away."

Song Xintong said: "you escort them to Lingnan, but you can tell them Liu Zhuangtou. I want to serve this dish in the restaurant before the end of the year, so they can watch it for me."
