Chapter 720 720. The tediousness of winter melon candy
Professor Song said that he was going to have a big fight, and he didn't leave the room for the next whole day except for eating. The same was true for his students. Even Tian Tian didn't dare to go to class after seeing this.
In fact, they only spoke a few words, and the things they discussed were very complicated, such as fish meal, fermentation of fallen leaves, Tianhui green juice, fermented pepper extract, etc...
They all sound familiar, but together they are obviously not something he can control.
The honest boy was silent and had no choice but to work.
He had almost collected the Houttuynia cordata by the pond. He saw that there were not many pine hair leaves to light 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.
Master Qian on the mountain was also embarking on a big fight at this time.
first-
He transported the 500 kilograms of beans he had packed earlier to the mountain on a tricycle.
He is making watermelon jam from these beans. His personal habits are different, and the way he covers the beans is also different from that of the seventh cousin.
But the same point is that after the white Aspergillus oryzae is fermented, it also needs to be dried.
Lao Xu from the construction team on the mountain didn't know what he had done. His temporary kitchen was set up in such a large flat area.
Although it is a bit remote, it will not be affected by the dust and dirt from the construction site, and cooking and eating are also clean.
But things are good now. Just next to the kitchen, the excavator is digging a big hole, and there are people preparing bedding and laying concrete next to it...
What happened was that there was so much sand and dust that Master Qian had to move the place where he made sauce down the mountain.
No, the beans, which had been fermented and sun-dried for a long time, were packed in sacks and transported on a tricycle.
He didn’t start working immediately after the move came. He didn’t forget to tell Song Tan when he took the time:
“Boss Song, the helper you hired is very hard-working. I see, if you talk to them later, you can keep them working here... They are really hard-working.”
He is talking about Zhai Xiaofeng.
Master Qian observed for a period of time and found that although he was very well-dressed, wearing gold and silver skirts, he was crisp and neat in his work.
In comparison, that is really a hundred times better than the previous Zhai Xiao'e!
When she first came, the job content that Song Tan and Master Qian mentioned was to cook for the workers on the mountain. She would do odd jobs, wash vegetables, wash pots and cook dishes.
But Master Qian showed his intention, and now he was both drying the sauce and covering the beans, so his work increased a lot in vain.
Although there is not much hard work, even if there is, it would not be Xiaofeng's turn. But packing the beans is tedious and meticulous, and requires a lot of effort... To be honest, it's quite hard when the weather is so hot.
But Zhai Xiaofeng did not complain at all, and instead did a very practical job!
Her idea is simple: there are so many people here, and her ex-husband is afraid to come, so she might as well perform well and make more money!
When her child goes to college, if she can stay at Song Tan's house and work...then what else do she have to worry about?
Children can work **** their own!
…
Master Qian may not be able to fully understand all these complexities. But when it comes to vision, he is much better than his 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 pouring the beans out of the sack, and nodded silently.
Zhai Xiaofeng did not notice it.
While twisting the beans to check the dryness and humidity, she turned to ask: "Boss Song, please bring the watermelon here today. Then we can make the sauce early tomorrow morning. Without any delay, we can just dry it all day."
“I saw the weather forecast and it said there won’t be any rain for half a month. It’s a good time to show off your sauce!”
Song Tan also nodded: "Okay, I happened to order a few large vats for drying the sauce. Let's ask someone to bring them over."
After all, there are five hundred kilograms of dried beans on the mountain, and more than a thousand kilograms of dried beans and watermelon jam are used at the bottom of the mountain. There are only a few large vats, and there is no room to put the beans. Today, just making watermelon jam requires thousands of pounds of watermelon... This is a big business.
Song Tan asked the melon seedling seller, and they could send melons and melons over in minutes.
At least she showed some conscience and bought a seedless watermelon. Although the price is quite ordinary, but making sauce...
Ordinary beans with ordinary watermelon, there is nothing wrong with it.
Today is the season when watermelons are abundant, and it is also the season when watermelons are the least valuable. These huge piles of watermelons were brought in, and they didn’t even have to be brought into the house!
Just find a shady place outside the yard to pile them up, then cover them with sun protection cloth, and they can be used directly tomorrow morning.
It’s the soybeans they cover, because the process is a bit reversed, so it’s not ready yet...
But don’t be in a hurry.
Cousin Seventh was concentrating on tossing those winter melon candies and couldn’t care less about it for the time being.
No, there are pots of winter melon strips soaked in water, covered with plastic wrap, and placed in the corner of the kitchen. The air conditioner is blowing in front of me. In the summer, the basin feels cool and refreshing, just like a refrigerator.
In this way, the quality of this batch of winter melon candy should be better!
…
Early in the morning, Zhang Yanping was picked up again, guarding the stove to heat hot water, holding half of the leftover scallion rolls in his hand, his expression dull.
The hot stove in front of him had to keep adding firewood, but he couldn't complain because Wang Xiaoshun and his seventh cousin were guarding three large pots, blanching the soaked winter melon strips one by one and then taking them out...
Everyone is working, and there is nothing in the online store. He, he, he...he can't say anything!
Those blanched winter melon strips are so pretty! It is white with a greenish color, hazy and translucent, with a natural poetry, and is fished into a simple stainless steel basin...
It makes people salivate at the sight of it, and they can’t help but imagine its deliciousness.
However, after the blanched winter melon strips were allowed to cool in the air-conditioned room, and I watched my seventh cousin put layers of sugar inside handful by handful, all the poetry turned into a stinging pain in my teeth.
Sweet, so sweet! You don’t need to eat it to know it’s sweet!
If there is a live broadcast at this time, I am afraid that the three words "lethal dose" will fill the screen.
When these winter melon strips and sugar were laid out in layers, covered with plastic wrap again and pushed back to the corner, Zhang Yanping sighed:
“It’s so difficult!”
Isn’t it just a winter melon candy? I haven't put it away for three or four days. This process is too troublesome.
“That’s right.” The seventh cousin also muttered: “Tantan’s character would have made it impossible for us to farm at that time! Those who say wind is like rain.”
"What does she know? She only thinks about eating! This leader opens his mouth and breaks his legs... What should I do? I am just a part-time worker!"
As the young working man said this, he couldn't help but think about it:
“I haven’t eaten bitter melon for a long time. I got a little angry after eating too much chili pepper... Let’s make bitter melon stuffed with meat for lunch.”
Zhang Yanping: ...You see, not many people in the family actually like bitter melon, but this happens to be controlled by you, a migrant worker.
But now he is guarding the stove and has no say. He is obviously an even more pitiful long-term worker.

Originally, it was a two-in-one chapter. It exceeded the word count but was not finished. But I’m afraid some people didn’t read what I said in the last chapter and will wait at night, so I’ll update one chapter first.
The rest will be completed tomorrow morning. I was too sleepy to hold on.
