"What are the quotes from these three countries?" Shen Li asked.

"They haven't made a quote yet." said the political commissar, and he looked at Shen Li with more admiration.

The seafood preservation vehicle developed by Comrade Shen is so amazing that even foreign countries are rushing to buy it!

"Tell them that the starting price is 200 million, and the highest bidder wins," said Shen Li.

"Two million?" The political commissar was shocked.

It goes without saying that 200 million is a terrifying number in this era.

Comrade Shen is really brave enough to say that.

"Yes." Shen Li said, "No deal if it's less than 200 million."

"...Okay." The political commissar admired Shen Li more and more.

……

Shen Li went to the back mountain with her sisters-in-law.

"There are many ripe lychees here. If you don't eat them in time, they will rot." said the sisters-in-law.

Everyone took a big bag to pick litchi.

The lychee trees on this mountain are all wild lychees, not cultivated artificially, but they are also very large. The heavy fruits weigh down the branches, almost bending the green leaves.

Shen Li stood on tiptoe and threw bunches of lychees into the bag she brought.

She was a little tired, so she peeled a lychee. After peeling off the red skin, the juicy white lychee flesh was revealed.

Shen Li brought the lychee flesh to her lips and put it in her mouth.

The lychee flesh is juicy and sweet when you take a bite. The tender flesh spreads in your mouth, filling your mouth with a sweet taste.

If you eat a few, they are very sweet and delicious, but if you eat too many at once, you will feel choked.

After all, these lychees are so sweet.

If you pick so many lychees and don’t eat them, they won’t stay fresh for a few days even if you put them in the refrigerator.

"If we pick these lychees and can't eat them, they will go bad," said Sister Narcissus.

"Yes, the temperature on our island is almost 40 degrees Celsius, and we don't have a refrigerated cellar," Zhang Ye said. "We are not like Li Meizi who has a refrigerator at home. We don't have a refrigerator at home, so the food can't be kept for long. It will become sour and smelly in less than half a day."

"It's a shame to waste such a good thing." Another sister-in-law said, "There are so many lychees that even if the whole family eats together, we can't finish them, and we will choke after eating for a while."

"There are so many good things on our island, but they can't be stored for long, which is a pity..." said the sisters-in-law.

Although there are seafood transport vehicles now, they are unable to transport all the fresh fruits from fruit farmers and breeders in the villages near the island, not to mention the wild fruits from the mountains on their island.

Moreover, it takes time to produce seafood trucks. Before the trucks can be mass-produced, the lychees have already rotted.

Shen Li suddenly had an idea, "I have an idea."

"What's your idea?" Sister Narcissus asked curiously.

"We can make these fruits into canned fruits, so they can be stored for a longer time. We can also make them into dried fruits." Shen Li said, her eyes lighting up.

"Canned fruit? I don't know how to make it..."

"Me too. This stuff is hard to come by... I've only ever bought canned meat from the supply and marketing cooperative."

"I know how to make it." Shen Li said, "I'll try it at home first, and then I'll let you guys taste it and see how it tastes. If it tastes good, you can learn to make it with me."

"Okay!"

"Sister Li, everything you cook is delicious! Last time we learned how to make the mango sago you made, and everyone in the military compound said it was delicious! Adults and children alike love it!"

"And the durian thousand-layer cake!" said Narcissus. "Last time Duoduo and Minghui brought it to our house, my son Qiangqiang finished it in just a few bites and even kept shouting that he wanted more!"

"I really envy the two kids at Sister Li's house. They can eat delicious food in different ways every day! The kids on our island all say they envy Duoduo and Minghui!"

The sisters-in-law smiled.

……

Shen Li returned home with a big bag of lychees.

Today is the weekend and the two children are not in school. Minghui is doing homework at home and Duoduo is drawing at home.

Seeing Shen Li coming back, the two children's eyes lit up.

"Mom!" Duoduo stretched out his little arms, ran to Shen Li and asked for a hug.

Shen Li bent down, smiled gently, and hugged her symbolically for a while, "Duoduo, be good. Mommy is going to make canned lychees for you. You two should take care of your own things first."

"Mom, I'll help you!" Duoduo wished she could stick to her mother all day long. She was reluctant to be separated from Shen Li.

"Mom, I'll help you too." Lu Minghui stood up and looked at Shen Li expectantly with his dark eyes.

Ever since he called her mom last time, Lu Minghui has liked this name more and more.

He likes to call Shen Li "Mom".

And Shen Li's "Hey" was like a response to him calling her mother the reward she gave him.

He also wanted to run into his mother's arms like his sister and hug her neck tightly.

But he was a little man, and he was afraid that his mother would dislike him if he did that.

"Okay, then you two come and help me." Shen Li smiled.

She carried Duoduo to the kitchen, and Lu Minghui followed behind them.

Shen Li placed the big bag of lychees on the kitchen table. She found two small stools and asked Duoduo and Minghui to stand on one each.

Duoduo was standing on Shen Li's left side, standing on a pink stool; Minghui was standing on Shen Li's right side, standing on a blue stool.

Shen Li divided the lychees in the bag into three portions, giving one portion to each of her and her two children.

Worried that the juice from the peeled lychees would splash onto the two children, Shen Li put a small apron on each of them.

The mother and her two children were peeling lychees in the kitchen. The scene was indescribably warm and beautiful.

Duoduo peeled a lychee, and with a sizzling sound, the juice sprayed all over her little face.

Duoduo uttered a low cry, then burst into a giggle.

"Be careful, don't spray it in your eyes." Shen Li said with a smile. She looked at Minghui. At this time, the bowl in front of Minghui was filled with some round, plump and translucent lychee flesh. "Minghui, you did a great job."

Although he is a boy, he is very careful and works meticulously.

Duoduo discovered that the lychees peeled by her brother were big and round, and they were complete lychees, while the lychees she peeled were all torn in half by herself, and not a single one was complete. No wonder her mother praised her brother but refused to praise herself.

Duoduo pouted in dissatisfaction. She also wanted to behave well so that her mother would praise her more!

She has to do better than her brother!

Duoduo peeled the lychees seriously and carefully, for fear of tearing the flesh.

"Mom, look!" Duoduo held up the peeled lychee flesh and handed it to Shen Li.

"Not bad, Duoduo, you peeled it much better than before." Shen Li touched Duoduo's black hair and praised her.

"Hmph." Duoduo looked at Lu Minghui complacently, stuck out her tongue at him and made a face.

Lu Minghui felt helpless about his sister's little attempts to curry favor, but he also understood that his sister was getting better and better, more outgoing, more lively and cute, and gradually becoming like a normal child.

All these are changes brought about by my mother.

In his heart, Shen Li has long been his biological mother. He will study hard and work hard in the future to earn a lot of money to support his mother.
