reborn as a brother

The storage time of jam is also very short, that's why Ji Anyi didn't want to make jam at first.

But now there is no other way.

You can't let it go to waste. You have to make all the apricot meat into jam. If you can't finish it, you can sell it in the town.

It's just that the price is not easy to determine. The sugar he puts is [-] copper coins per catty of medium sugar. He buys it only for the occasional porridge. He doesn't like salty porridge.

This time I used almost a catty of sugar to make jam.

I don't know if maltose can be used as jam.Raw sugar is maltose, seven coppers per catty, and the price is more than half cheaper.

People here plant two seasons of rice, and then plant one season of wheat, which will be harvested at the end of March and early April of the next year. The wheat is usually kept for their own consumption, and the rice is sold for money.

Ji Anyi knew that maltose was related to wheat, but he couldn't make it.

He knows how to make jam, but he is not worried about the food outside. As long as he can make it by himself without too much trouble, and he has a leisurely life, he just searched on Baidu at home and thought about it slowly.

Sugar is so cheap in modern times, but it is a rarity here.

"Don't eat too much, you'll get bored easily, and you won't want to eat after a while." Seeing that the idiot ate three mouthfuls in a row, he kept his mouth shut and wanted to eat again, Ji Anyi hurriedly stopped him.

Wang Xiaoer grinned and looked at his daughter-in-law with a hehe smile.

"Tomorrow morning I will steam some steamed buns, it will be better to eat with it." While talking, Ji Anyi took out the jam and found a place to keep it.

It's not too early now, it's the end of the application time, and the result this afternoon is good. The jam tastes very authentic. He thinks it's mainly the authentic wild apricots with good raw materials and juicy water.

I will try to make it with maltose tomorrow. I guess the taste should not be much different, but the sweetness should be slightly lighter, which is not bad.

Thinking that the idiot had eaten a lot of jam, fearing that he would lose his appetite for a while, Ji Anyi's dinner was mainly hot and sour.

A hot and sour fish, a cold water spinach.

There are a lot of sour jars in the hot and sour fish. The sour taste of this sour jar is very good, much better than vinegar. It was made by Brother Wang before. There are some sword beans, radishes, peppers, garlic, etc. in it. It is a very subtle sour taste, which he especially likes.

After eating up everything inside, just add some more to it. The brine in the sour altar seems to be more mellow as it ages.

This sour altar tastes so good, I don't know how long it has been.

Wang Xiaoer obviously liked the heavy-tasting dishes tonight, he ate one bowl after another, and even drank a whole bowl of fish soup.

Ji Anyi was thinking about one thing, a little distracted, and didn't pay much attention to him.

He was thinking, the taste of jam is a bit sweet and greasy, should we add some sour brine?Will it become sweet and sour?However, the smell of the sour brine is slightly unpleasant, and it will destroy the original fragrance of the jam. He can't imagine what kind of smell will be produced when the two are mixed.

Give it a try later, anyway, there is nothing to lose.

After dinner, Ji Anyi tidied up the kitchen neatly. Ji Anyi happily took a clean bowl, scooped a certain amount of jam with a spoon, and then took the sour brine.

This is a bit of a test of talent.

Ji Anyi squatted in front of the acid altar, holding a cleaned spoon in one hand, and put the other on the lid of the acid altar, pursing his mouth, thinking for a while before opening the altar lid, a mellow sour smell came over his nostrils, and immediately, The secretion of saliva is extremely serious.

He suddenly felt that his own thoughts might produce surprises.

The sour brine was strong and delicious, so Ji Anyi took a little bit, not daring to overdo it. After taking the sour brine, quickly put the lid on the altar, poured the sour brine into the jam bowl, slowly like stirring eggs, Stirring rhythmically.

I didn't feel much at first, but after a while, the smell changed.

Ji Anyi couldn't help but move his head closer, and smelled it carefully, his eyes lit up instantly.

Sure enough, there is a surprise!

It should be that the amount of sour brine is a bit small, and the smell has not changed much.

With the obvious effect, Ji Anyi took some more sour brine and stirred it patiently and meticulously.

The scent will come out.

The rich aroma of the jam is neutralized by the mellow aroma of the sour brine. It doesn't smell sweet and greasy, but a very clear aroma. Moreover, the color of the jam has also changed.

Ji Anyi wanted to eat it just looking at it. ;

Then, he really scooped up half a spoonful and tasted it with a feeling of anticipation and excitement.

Sweet and sour, it tasted a little more than he had imagined. It couldn't be said, but the aftertaste was endless. He felt that it should be the reason of the sour brine. The mellow aroma was too stimulating.

"Idiot, come quickly, I'll give you a better taste." Ji Anyi shouted excitedly, looking for the idiot in the kitchen.

He found that something was wrong, he seemed a little wilted, and his spirit was not very good.

What's going on here?

Ji Anyi's good mood immediately disappeared, and he hurried over with a bowl of jam. "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

It was fine when I was eating just now, just this moment...

Wang Xiaoer didn't know how to express it, he had never felt this way before, he looked at his daughter-in-law helplessly, and covered his stomach with his hands.

"Uncomfortable stomach?" Ji Anyi put the jam aside on the dining table, reached out and touched Wang Xiaoer's stomach, a row of black lines fell on his forehead.

This belly is so bulging.

"You, greedy." Fortunately, it's nothing else, Ji Anyi heaved a sigh of relief, and took Wang Xiaoer's hand. "Let's go, let's go outside for a few slow walks, and we'll feel better. We can't eat too much in the future, at most four bowls of rice."

No wonder, his eyes stopped looking at the jam just now.

Wang Xiaoer smirked, looking at it, he seemed to understand a little bit.

Now the sun has set and the sky is still quite bright. There are still many people in the fields busy harvesting, and some brothers are rushing home in a hurry, preparing to go home for dinner.

Ji Anyi and Wang Xiaoer met Liu Ah, who was about to go home to cook dinner, and he was accompanied by a little brother, his youngest son named Liu Xiu, who was nine years old this year. "Ah Liu going home for dinner?"

"Yes. Where is Ji Geer going?" Liu Ah Mo stopped and asked with a smile.

Ji Anyi was a little embarrassed to answer, he was too busy to touch the ground, so the two of them had time to take a walk. "Just walk around."

"Hehe, you two are still living a happy life." Liu Ama answered with a smile, and said again. "I'm still rushing home to cook, so I won't say more."

"Okay, Ah Liu is busy." Ji Anyi responded gently.

After walking a little further, Liu Xiucai said in a low voice. "Ah, Ji Ge'er looks much better, not the same as before."

"After going through so many things, how can people not change a bit." After a pause, Liu Ah said again. "He is a good boy, and he is also a blessed one. When the family is done, you can walk around with him more. He has a good temper. It is difficult for a half-old child to take Brother Wang with him. You two are about the same age, accompany him It’s also good, after all, it’s still just a child.”

"En." Liu Xiu answered seriously, and then said again after a while. "Ah, they all say that Brother Wang is a fool. I don't look like it. I think he and Ji Ge'er are fine together."

"He is really kind to Brother Wang. It is also a great blessing for Brother Wang to marry Brother Ji." After a moment of silence, as if hesitating, Liu Amo patted his youngest son's hand. "Axiu, it's a marriage. Speaking of it, your elder brother Wang is not a bad place. He is not sensible, but he can do the work in the field well. Seriously speaking, compared with some transparent people, you have to worry about it." There are a lot of them. Elder brother who thinks too much and is too lively, if not, life will be more tiring, especially if you are kind and gentle, you need to find an honest and honest one. You see, Ji Geer also has the same temperament. My brother is living a good life, and you can see that they are quite suitable."

Liu Xiu listened, blinked and said. "Ah, I know. Is the second elder brother of the Li family thinking too much? I saw the third elder brother of the Zhang family crying twice by the river while wearing his clothes, and there was a wound on his exposed arm. It was scary. I didn't even think about it." Dare to go there, I won’t do laundry until he’s gone.”

"Yes. You have to find someone who suits you. Looks and money are not important. As long as you are willing to endure hardship and work hard, life will not go bad. Character is the most important thing."

The two of them whispered, without paying attention, they came to the door of the house, Liu Ah also stopped this topic, and prepared to make dinner.
