Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth
Chapter 138 Persimmon Cake Formation
Wang felt somewhat guilty, as it was her anger in previous years that made life difficult for her children.
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved and our family's living conditions have gradually improved, we must find a way to help our children take good care of their health.
While thinking, Wang suddenly remembered something and asked directly: "Then do you know the size of your brother's clothes?"
At this moment, Gu Qingzhi, who was concentrating on selecting fabrics, couldn't help but be stunned.
Oops! She didn't even know her brother's clothing size.
Seeing the two sisters in a dilemma, Wang couldn't help but laugh: "It's okay, I have ready-made data here."
Then, she told them the sizes of their clothes one by one and asked them to write them down with pen and paper.
After choosing the fabric she liked and placing it on the table, Wang asked, "Do you remember the next steps of making it?"
"Remember!" the two sisters answered in unison.
So Wang stood behind the two of them, watching them measure the dimensions, make marks, draw lines with a little awkwardness, and then carefully pick up the scissors to cut the fabric and pick up the needle and thread to sew.
Throughout the whole process, she stood by and provided guidance patiently.
In this way, after spending a whole afternoon, the two finally completed a top.
Seeing this, Wang nodded with satisfaction and expressed her appreciation: "Well, it's quite good! The stitches are even and fine. It's really great that you can achieve such a level on your first try!
Let’s stop here for today and continue making pants tomorrow.
After a few days when you are more familiar with it, I will teach you the embroidery method. "
Sister Gu Qingzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
All things are difficult at the beginning, and I have finally taken this step.
Afterwards, the three of them worked together to pack up the tools and cloths and put them neatly into a bamboo basket.
"Then let's stop here today and continue learning tomorrow." Wang paused for a moment and changed the subject, "By the way, we have to deal with these persimmons now."
After she reminded him, Gu Qingzhi finally woke up from her dream.
These days, my mother goes to knead the persimmons under the corridor every day to shape them.
My mother once said that after drying for three or four days, you need to pinch it every day and then continue to dry it.
This goes on day after day. Counting the days, the first batch of persimmons has been turned over and dried for about ten days.
At this time, Gu Qingzhi looked at the bunches of persimmons hanging under the corridor. They were now half the size of before, and their color had gradually changed from the original golden yellow to a ripe orange-red.
If you get closer, you can even smell a faint sweet fragrance.
Are we finally entering the next stage?
Gu Qingzhi asked excitedly, "Mother, what are we going to do next?"
Wang replied with a smile on her face: "Then Qing'er, go find those persimmon peels we dried earlier and take them out. They will be of great use to me."
Hey, so mysterious? Gu Qingzhi was very curious.
"Okay!" She responded happily, turned and ran away, and came back a few minutes later with a big bag filled with the persimmon peels that had been dried earlier.
Wang then moved several wooden barrels that had already been washed and dried without a trace of moisture out of the house.
Seeing that Gu Qingzhi had brought the big bag of persimmon peels, she began to assign tasks to the two of them: "Now wash your hands first, dry them, and then spread these previously dried persimmon peels evenly on the bottom of the wooden barrels. The bottom of each wooden barrel must be covered. Can you two do it?"
"No problem!" the two young ladies responded in unison.
After receiving a positive answer, Wang smiled with relief, then moved a small stool and stepped gently on it.
Then, she reached out and untied the hemp rope tied to the beam, carefully took down all the hanging bunches of persimmons, and put them into the bamboo basket on the ground.
After taking all the persimmons from the first batch, she picked up a pair of scissors, skillfully cut the hemp rope on the persimmon stalks, and then carefully stacked the persimmons neatly in a wooden barrel.
Gu Qingzhi and Gu Xiaoshui had just laid out the persimmon peels and hurried over to help.
Wang directly divided the work between the two of them: "Qing'er, come and help me cut the hemp rope, Shuijie'er, continue to lay the persimmon peels, but remember, lay the persimmons and the persimmon peels alternately, understand?"
Gu Qingzhi and Gu Xiaoshui answered in unison: "Mother/Aunt, we know!"
With the concerted efforts of the three, all the persimmons were put into the wooden barrels soon.
Finally, Wang put another layer of persimmon peel on the top of the persimmons, and then tightly closed the lid of the barrel.
After completing all this, Wang clapped her hands with satisfaction, indicating that the task was accomplished.
Then, she suggested finding a cool place to place the persimmons, and told the two that they just needed to leave them alone for about a month, and the white frost would naturally grow on the persimmons.
Gu Qingzhi asked in bewilderment, "Is it enough to just grow white frost?"
Wang shook her head and replied, "Of course it's more than that!"
She turned sideways and looked at the puzzled expressions on her daughter and niece's faces, thinking that it would be necessary to teach them more knowledge to avoid them getting cheated in the future.
So, she said slowly in the yard in a gentle and soothing voice: "In fact, the quality of the frost on the dried persimmon is very important...
If you want to distinguish the quality of persimmon cakes, this is the key.
The flesh of high-quality persimmons will be bright orange-red.
When we tear open the persimmon cake, we can see a transparent gelatinous substance in the middle.
In addition, the shape of the persimmon should be flat and intact, and it is best to have a curvature like the edge of a gong.
The most important point is that the surface of the persimmon cake is covered with a thin layer of white frost.
This layer of white frost is actually a substance formed by the condensation of glucose and fructose that seeps out during the persimmon cake production process as the fruit pulp is in a dry environment, causing water to evaporate.
Have you ever heard that persimmons can be used as medicine? "
Wang suddenly asked a question and both of them shook their heads in confusion.
Wang said directly, "Persimmon cake can be used as medicine. The reason why it can be used as a medicine is due to this layer of persimmon frost.
It is somewhat similar to the syrup on candied fruit, and is the essence of dried persimmons."
Gu Qingzhi then remembered that she had indeed seen it in a medical book before, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
Then, Wang asked another question: "Qing'er, why don't you recall the two dried persimmons we bought before? What was the icing on them like? What color was it?"
Gu Qingzhi thought for a moment, the frost on the persimmon cake didn't seem very good...
She lowered her eyes and continued to think: "So, mother, is this the reason why those dried persimmons taste bad?"
