  Chapter 720 720. The cumbersomeness of winter melon candy

  Professor Song said that after a hard work, he didn’t leave the house for the next day except for eating, and his students did the same. Even Tian Ye didn’t dare to go to class after seeing this.

  It’s really just a few words from them. The things they discussed are very complicated, such as fish meal, fallen leaf fermentation, Tianhui green juice, fermented pepper extract, etc...

   They all sound familiar, but together they are obviously beyond his control.

  The honest boy was silent, so he had to work.

  The Houttuynia cordata by the pond was almost harvested. He saw that there were not many pine leaves that started the fire in the kitchen, and then thought about the fallen leaves discussed by several teachers, so he simply went up the mountain with a rake and a sack.

   And Master Qian on the mountain is also starting to do a big job at this time.

first-

  He transported the 500 catties of beans he covered earlier to the mountain with a tricycle.

  He is making watermelon sauce for these beans, his personal habits are different, and the way he covers the beans is also different from Seventh Cousin.

  But the same thing is that after the white Aspergillus oryzae is fermented, it also needs to be dried.

   It's just that Lao Xu of the construction team on the mountain didn't know what he had done. It was originally such a large and flat place, and his temporary kitchen was set there.

  Although it is remote, it will not be affected by the dust on the construction site, and it is clean to cook and eat.

   But now it’s a good thing, right next to this kitchen, the excavator is humming and digging a big hole, and there are people preparing the cushion and laying concrete beside it...

   This is what happened, no matter what, dust and dust are inevitable, so that the place where Master Qian makes sauce can only be moved down the mountain.

   No, the fermented beans were packed in sacks and transported down by tricycle.

  He didn’t start working right away after he moved it, but he didn’t forget to tell Song Tan when he took the time:

   "Boss Song, the helper you hired is really hardworking. I see, you can talk to him later, and you can keep him working here... It's really hardworking."

  He was talking about Zhai Xiaofeng.

  Master Qian observed for a period of time, and found that although he was well-dressed and wore gold and silver skirts, he did his work simply and neatly.

  In comparison, that was a hundred times better than the previous Zhai Xiaoe!

  When she first came, Song Tan and Master Qian said that the job content was to cook for the workers on the mountain, and she did some chores, washing vegetables and cooking dishes along the way.

  However, Master Qian intentionally expressed that at the moment, he was drying the sauce and covering the beans, so the work increased a lot for no reason.

  Although there is no strong labor work, even if there is, it will not be Xiaofeng's turn. However, cleaning the beans is tedious and meticulous, and requires a lot of effort... To be honest, the weather is so hot, it is still a bit hard.

  But Zhai Xiaofeng didn't complain at all, instead he did it quite steadily!

  Her idea is also simple: there are so many people here, her ex-husband doesn't dare to come, so she just behaves well and makes a lot of money!

  When the child goes to college, if she can stay and work in Song Tan's house... then why worry?

  Children can struggle by themselves!

  …

  Master Qian may not be able to fully understand all these complexities. But in terms of vision, he is really much better than Seventh Cousin.

  Song Tan also had a good impression of Zhai Xiaofeng. At this moment, he glanced at Zhai Xiaofeng who was wearing a straw hat and was pouring the beans out of the sack, and nodded silently.

  Zhai Xiaofeng didn't notice it.

  While twirling the beans to check the dryness, she asked again: "Boss Song, let's ship the watermelon here today. In this way, we can put the sauce on it early tomorrow morning, without delay, and it will be able to dry for a whole day."

   "I saw the weather forecast, saying that there will be no rain for half a month, so it's a good time to dry the sauce!"

  Master Qian nodded: "Okay. Don't worry about it." He turned his head and gave Song Tan a wink.

  Song Tan also nodded: "Okay, I just ordered a few large jars for sun-dried sauce, let someone bring them together."

  After all, there are 500 catties of dried beans on the mountain, and more than 1,000 catties were used to cover the beans and watermelon sauce at the bottom of the mountain. There are not many big tanks, and there is no place to put the beans.

  Nowadays, just watermelon sauce requires thousands of catties of watermelon... This is a big business.

  Song Tan asked someone who sold melon seedlings, and they could send melons by car in minutes.

   It's a good thing that she moved a little bit of conscience and bought a seedless watermelon. Although the price is quite ordinary, but to make sauce...

  Ordinary beans with ordinary watermelon, no problem.

  Now is the season when watermelons are flooding, and it is also the season with the least value. These huge piles of watermelons don't even have to be shipped inside the house!

  Just find a shady place outside the yard and stack them, and then cover them with sunshade cloth, and they can be used directly in the morning.

   It's the soy beans they covered, because the process is a bit reversed here, and it's not ready yet...

   But there is no rush.

  Seventh Cousin is preoccupied with tossing those wax gourd candies, so he can't take care of it for the time being.

   No, pots of wax gourd strips soaked in water, covered with plastic wrap, and placed in the corner of the kitchen. The air conditioner is blowing directly on it. In summer, it is cool and refreshing to touch the basin, which is no different from a refrigerator.

   In this way, the quality of this batch of winter melon candies should be even better!

  …

  Early in the morning, Zhang Yanping was picked up again, watching the stove to boil hot water, holding half of the leftover scallion fried rice roll in his hand, with a dull expression.

  The hot stove in front of him had to keep adding firewood, but he couldn't complain—because Wang Xiaoshun and Qi Cousin were guarding the three big pots, and they were blanching the soaked wax gourd strips one by one before taking them out...

  Everyone is working, there is nothing in the online store, he, he, he... he can't say anything!

   But those blanched wax gourd strips are so beautiful! The white is green and tender, hazy and translucent, with a natural poetic flavor, being fished into a simple stainless steel basin...

   It makes people salivate when they see it, and they can't help but fantasize about its deliciousness.

  However, after the blanched wax gourd strips were cooled in the air-conditioned room, watching the seven cousins ​​pouring sugar layer by layer, all the poetry turned into a stinging tooth root.

  Sweet, really too sweet! You don't need to eat to know how sweet it is!

  If there is a live broadcast at this time, I am afraid that the words [Lethal Dose] will fill the screen.

  When the wax gourd strips and sugar were laid out layer by layer, covered with plastic wrap and pushed back to the corner, Zhang Yanping sighed:

   "It's so difficult!"

   Isn’t it just a winter melon candy? It's been three or four days and I haven't cleaned it up. This process is too troublesome.

   "That's right." The Seventh Cousin also muttered: "Tan Tan's character, we couldn't grow it at all at that time! It is said that the wind is the rain."

   "What does she know? She just wants to eat! This leader opens his mouth and runs away... What should I do? Who made me a part-time job!"

  The little old man who worked as a migrant worker couldn’t help thinking while talking:

   "It's been a long time since I ate bitter gourd. I'm a little angry after eating too much chili... Let's make bitter gourd stuffed meat for lunch."

  Zhang Yanping: ...You see, there are not many people who like bitter gourd in the family, but it happens that this is controlled by you, a migrant worker.

   And now that he is guarding the stove and has no right to speak, he is obviously a poorer long-term worker.

  …

   It was originally a two-in-one chapter, but the number of words exceeded but it was not finished. But I'm afraid that some people didn't see the last chapter, so I'll wait at night, so let's update the first chapter.

   The rest will be completed tomorrow morning. I was too sleepy to hold on.

  (end of this chapter)
