Chapter 720 The Complexity of Winter Melon Candy

Chapter 720 720. The tediousness of winter melon candy

Professor Song said he would do a great job, and he did not leave the house for the whole day except for eating. His students did the same. Even Tian Ye did not dare to go to class after seeing this.

In fact, the few words they talked about were very complicated, such as fish meal, fermented fallen leaves, Tianhui green juice, fermented chili extract, etc.

It sounded familiar, but it was obviously not something he could handle when put together.

The honest child kept silent and had to work.

The fish mint by the pond was almost picked. He saw that there were not many pine needle leaves in the kitchen to start the fire. Thinking about the fallen leaves discussed by several teachers, he simply took a rake and a sack to the mountain.

And Master Qian on the mountain was also working hard at this time.

First of all——

He transported the 500 kilograms of beans he had covered before down the mountain with a tricycle.

He was going to make watermelon sauce with these beans. Due to different personal habits, his way of covering the beans was also different from that of his 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 from the construction team on the mountain didn’t know what was going on. He originally set up his temporary kitchen on such a large flat area.

Although it’s a bit remote, it won’t be affected by the dust from the construction site, and it’s clean to cook and eat.

But now, right next to this kitchen, the excavator is digging a big pit with a hum, and there are people preparing the cushion layer and laying concrete next to it...

This is so bad that there is no way to avoid sand and dust, so Master Qian’s sauce making place can only be moved down the mountain.

Look, the fermented beans that have been dried for half a day are packed in sacks and transported down by tricycles.

He didn’t start working immediately after moving it here. He took the time to say to Song Tan:

“Boss Song, the helper you found is very hardworking. I think you can talk to him later and keep him here to work... He is really hardworking.”

He was talking about Zhai Xiaofeng.

Master Qian observed for a while and found that although she was dressed very elegantly, wearing gold and silver and a big skirt, she was neat and efficient when doing her work.

In comparison, she was a hundred times better than the previous Zhai Xiao'e!

When she first came, Song Tan and Master Qian said that her job was to cook for the workers on the mountain, and she would do odd jobs and wash vegetables, wash pots and cook bowls.

But Master Qian was deliberately showing off, and now he was drying the sauce and covering the beans, so his work increased a lot.

Although there was no strong labor, even if there was, it would not be Xiaofeng's turn. But picking beans is tedious and meticulous, and it also requires some great strength... To be honest, it is still quite hard in such hot weather.

But Zhai Xiaofeng did not complain at all, but worked very hard!

Her idea was also simple: there were so many people here, and her ex-husband, the coward, didn't dare to come, so she might as well perform well and make more money!

When the child went to college, if she could stay and work in Song Tan's house... then what should she worry about?

The child can work hard on his own!

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

Song Tan also had a good impression of Zhai Xiaofeng. At this moment, he looked 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.

She twisted the beans and checked the dryness and wetness, and then asked: "Boss Song, let's transport the watermelon here today. In this way, we can make the sauce early tomorrow morning without delay, and we can just dry it for a whole day."

"I saw the weather forecast, which said that there will be no rain for half a month, which is a good time to dry the sauce!"

Master Qian nodded: "Okay. You took the trouble." He turned around and winked at Song Tan.

Song Tan also nodded: "Okay, I just ordered a few large jars for drying sauce, let them transport them together."

After all, there are 500 kilograms of dry beans on the mountain, and down the mountain... It took more than 1,000 kilograms to make beans and watermelon sauce. Without a few large jars, there would be no place to put the beans.

Nowadays, watermelon sauce alone requires thousands of kilograms of watermelon... This is a big business.

Song Tan asked the seller of melon seedlings, and he would send a car and watermelons in a few minutes.

Fortunately, she had a little conscience and bought seedless watermelon. Although the price is quite ordinary, it is good for making sauce...

Ordinary beans and ordinary watermelons are fine.

Now is the season when watermelons are abundant, and it is also the least valuable season. This pile of watermelons does not even need to be transported to the house!

Just find a cool place outside the yard to pile them up, cover them with sunscreen, and they can be used directly tomorrow morning.

However, the beans they are covering are not ready yet because the process is a bit reversed from here...

But there is no rush.

The seventh cousin is concentrating on making those winter melon candies, and he can't take care of it for the time being.

Look, a pot of winter melon strips soaked in water, covered with plastic wrap, is placed in the corner of the kitchen. The air conditioner was blowing, and in the hot summer, the basin was 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 once again pulled up, guarding the stove to boil water, holding half of the leftover scallion roll in his hand, with a dull expression.

He had to keep adding firewood to the hot stove in front of him, but he couldn't complain - because Wang Xiaoshun and his seventh cousin were guarding three large pots, blanching and cooking the soaked winter melon strips one by one and then taking them out...

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

But the blanched winter melon strips were really good-looking! The white and green color, hazy and translucent, with natural poetry, were picked up in a simple stainless steel basin...

It made people salivate at the sight of it, and couldn't help but imagine its deliciousness.

However, after the blanched winter melon strips were cooled in the air-conditioned room, I watched my seventh cousin spread white sugar layer by layer, and all the poetry turned into a stinging pain in the roots of my teeth.

Sweet, really sweet! You don't need to eat it to know it's very sweet!

If there was a live broadcast at this time, I'm afraid the three words [lethal dose] would be all over the screen.

When these winter melon strips and white sugar were laid layer by layer, 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? It hasn't been cleaned up for three or four days. This process is too troublesome.

"That's right." The seventh cousin also muttered: "With Tan Tan's personality, we couldn't grow crops well at all when we were young! He is so arrogant."

"What does she know? She only thinks about eating! This leader opens his mouth and the people below run around... What should I do? Who made me a worker!"

The old worker said, and couldn't help thinking:

"I haven't eaten bitter melon for a long time. I have eaten too much chili and I feel a little irritated... Let's make bitter melon stuffed with meat at noon."

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

And now he is guarding the stove and has no say, which is obviously a more pitiful long-term worker.

...

Originally it was a two-in-one chapter, the word count exceeded but it was not finished. But I am afraid that someone didn't see the previous chapter and made a comment at night, so I will update one chapter first.

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