Chapter 997: Tian Tian Sends Strawberries (The serial number in the previous chapter was wrong)

~8 min read 1,417 words

The yellowish, hot rock sugar juice was bubbling slightly, rolling in a small shallow pot. The room was warm, and everyone gathered together to peel oranges slowly. The whole room was surging with a thick orange fragrance.

Old Wang peeled another orange, and at this moment separated the orange segments one by one, and couldn't help muttering: "Half a jin of skin for a jin of oranges, this skin is too thick."

"Thick is good!" Secretary Xiao Zhu explained: "The one planted by the village next door is one yuan a jin, so don't be picky."

"Besides, thick skin is durable for storage, and it's easy to sell locally."

One yuan a jin?

Now Old Wang wasn't picky either. Oranges are born in Huainan and Huabei, so if it doesn't have thick skin and mutate in this winter's low temperature, I'm afraid it won't be able to last until this time.

It's just that seeing Old Li next door carefully peeling off the veins on the orange segments, he paused, and also put the orange segments he had peeled back into his hand without moving...

Hmph, compared to being meticulous, I, Old Wang, am not bad either!

Until Wu Lan and the others sat on the side, holding bamboo sticks to string the orange segments, while Qiaoqiao rolled them into the pot in a familiar way, and then quickly put them into a basin of cold water on the side——

Soon, a stick of candied oranges was made.

These don't pick soil, they can grow very sturdily no matter what, and are relatively adaptable to the land here.

"What's more, the taste of the old persimmon tree is still not bad, it's just not convenient to sell, and needs to be ripened at home. Just treat it as something we eat ourselves!"

Song Tan bit the rock sugar with a "click". The local oranges weren't too sweet, just a slightly cool juice. Mixed with the melting sweetness...

Only then did the old lady instruct: "Just riding a motorcycle and blowing cold wind, and suddenly entering this kind of warm air-conditioned room, you must block it first. Otherwise, the skin on your face will be bad, and people will easily get sick."

"But these strawberries are really good. If you plant them later next time, and catch up with the New Year market, the price will definitely be very high."

It's just——

And Old Li from the old man group spoke again: "You have contracted a lot of land, are you planning to go for deep processing, or sell primary agricultural products directly?"

Secretary Xiao Zhu nodded: "Right, it's easy to walk after the road is repaired."

"Hmm!" Tian Tian nodded: "I adjusted it little by little according to the method taught by Professor Song. The overall difficulty is not high, but if you want good quality, you have to be meticulous."

This Until Wu Lan was quite looking forward to it, and nodded hurriedly at this moment: "Good, good, good! Practice, we have so many people in the family, and candied oranges are durable, just make them!"

"Don't be excited, don't be excited." Secretary Xiao Zhu lowered their temperature: "The taste level should be about the same as the radishes and cabbage they tasted, it's not the same thing as what Until Wu Lan's family planted themselves."

But unfortunately, others were not interested, their eyes only fixed on the opened foam box.

"Look at the situation. Fresh fruits and such are directly sold more easily. But like the one on Stone Slope, I plan to spend a few years planting persimmon trees, and then open a small processing factory to make dried persimmons."

"Stone Slope... is really planting nothing!"

Secretary Xiao Zhu said sincerely: "If it were connected to your stone land, would I advise you?"

The foam box was taken over by Qiaoqiao. Tian Tian had just taken off her gloves, when she heard Teacher Tang instruct: "Hurry up, rub your hands, rub your face, hold your cheeks with your palms for a while before putting them down."

Besides, they had come here for so many days, and they would always have a chance to taste strawberries. Just treat it as a gradual process, and eat a high-profile version first!

Looking down from a high altitude, the whole terrain is like a capital letter g, and the blank space between the o and the curved hook is the cliff, river beach, grassland, and the whole Golden River.

It's the New Year, no one wants to find trouble, just buy the strawberries!

Now the ones excited were the old man group.

She sighed when talking about this: "Last year during the New Year, relatives drove back from the city, passed by a strawberry garden, and the old lady blocked the car halfway with a basket..."

Running back and forth on both sides all winter, her cheeks inevitably turned red, but her whole spirit became more and more dry. She turned to untie the belt on the back seat of the motorcycle and took a foam box:

In general, it was still unified and easy to manage, and Until Wu Lan didn't spend too much effort taking care of it later.

The foam box didn't know which express box it was dismantled from, with a piece of hard cardboard in the middle, and two kinds of strawberries, one white and one red, on both sides. When opened, it was a strong fragrance, mixed with a light yellow peach fragrance.

It's just that next time, next time I must savor it carefully.

"Should the road to Stone Slope be repaired next year?"

"It's okay." She evaluated objectively.

A group of people worked on an assembly line, and the speed of making candied oranges was fast. Secretary Xiao Zhu also tasted the nth one, and at this moment exclaimed:

Last night they were drunk, and in the morning they heard Xing Yun and the others discussing the taste and price of strawberries seriously, and their hearts regretted so much that they were about to bleed!

Professor Song and Old Lady Tang were quite silent all afternoon, and couldn't help but look at them again when they heard this. And Xing Yun answered cautiously:

And just then, the roar of a motorcycle came from outside; it was Tian Tian.

The first candied orange, of course, was to be given to the dear sister! Qiaoqiao stared at Song Tan: "Is it delicious?"

"Oh!" Xing Yun was not disappointed, but quite confident: "Then I'll make candied oranges first, and when I practice well, I'll make candied strawberries!"

"As for my side... just plant whatever you want to eat, and sell whatever you plant."

Time was tight this winter, and the engineering team stopped after the road surface froze. Next year, the surrounding branches and forks of the road will also be repaired.

She said it so simply that everyone present was speechless.

But, if we returned to last night, and asked if we would still drink this wine? I'm afraid no one would hesitate.

The old lady had a spirit of maintenance, and now at such an old age, her skin was still white. Tian Tian was inevitably rough in the village, but she didn't want to be rough for a lifetime.

Old Zhu didn't care: "It's fine without fish and shrimp."

At this moment, she listened obediently and followed along.

"Oh my!" Old Zhu was surprised first: "This strawberry fragrance is very strong!"

"I just picked it this afternoon, come, taste it and see if it's qualified?"

The key is 60 a jin, which is annoying!

Xing Yun also understood in her heart that her contracted land was very strange—if you look at the inside and outside of Cloud Bridge Village as an O-shape, the large piece of land stretching on Stone Slope is the curved hook at the bottom.

Qiaoqiao had picked tens of jin of oranges last time, and the family had eaten them for several days and still had a pile left. In Until Wu Lan's opinion, it was better to consume them as soon as possible.

"Who said that?" Xing Yun disagreed: "You didn't say that when you advised me to contract that persimmon forest."

She thought about it and added: "Stone Slope is far away, and the planting environment is not as good as ours. In general, it is mainly for processing—including the mugwort and wild chrysanthemum that will be planted next year." ===== CHAPTER 998 =====
