Chapter 69 Making Canned Yellow Peach
After sending away the midwife, Yang Yun found an opportunity to give all the remaining ginseng pills to Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li took the porcelain vase cherishingly and felt heartbroken when she thought of giving away a ginseng pill for nothing.
"You said your baby, the ginseng pills are not worth the old money anymore. How can you just give them away just like you said?"
"Grandma, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Let's think of it as our good deeds."
Mrs. Li believed in Buddhism and immediately changed her words, "Yes, yes, yes, that's what Yun Yatou said."
Yang Laoshi, who was sitting cross-legged and smoking on the kang, answered, "You, the longer you live, the more you go back. You are not as clear-minded as a child."
Mrs. Li, who was in a good mood, didn't care at all about Yang Laoshi's words. She got up and went inside carrying a small cloth bag and a dried pheasant. "Yun girl, don't you want to eat white rice? Today we will fry the pheasant and eat white rice."
"Ah, third aunt just gave birth to a baby, can't she eat it?"
"Of course she can't eat it. She eats red dates and millet porridge, and I'll stew a pheasant for her in two days." Mrs. Li glanced at Yang Yun, "Why are you still afraid that I won't give it to your third aunt?"
After her little thought was exposed, Yang Yun was not embarrassed, and smiled, "Everything is going well with the family. Aren't I afraid that we can eat delicious food and the third aunt can't eat it? I'm afraid that she will feel unhappy and make trouble with you?"
"You, at such a young age, are really a housekeeper as your mother said. Grandma knows it well. I see that all the little girls in the village come to play with you these days. This is the time for you to have fun at your age. Go out and play more in the future.
Play. These trivial matters are yours, so don’t worry about them. You’ll have more to worry about later.”
"Okay, I understand, grandma." In the past few days, whenever Yang Yun heard that she was asked to play more, she got a headache and quickly took the rice and pheasant to "escape" to the room.
After dinner, Yang Yun took Carambola out for a walk as usual.
Just as she stretched out her arms and let the evening breeze blow on her face, a familiar voice sounded from behind her, "Miss Yun is so comfortable."
Yang Yun quickly put away her arms, turned around, smiled sweetly at the visitor, and said, "Brother Xie, when did you come?"
Xie Chongjin heard Yang Yun call him eldest brother, and took advantage of the situation to change the title. She smiled and joked, "Sister Yun asked me when did I come to Taoyuan or when did I come behind you?"
Yang Yun: Uh-huh
Xie Chongjin didn't wait for Yang Yun to answer, "I arrived in Taoyuan today at noon. I just arrived behind you, but I saw you from a distance."
"Brother Xie came to see me specially?"
"yes."
"When you look back and smile, you have life, and you will be able to make a living."
Xie Chongjin smiled and shook his head, "I have other business with you."
Xie Chongjin came to see her, and her instinctive reaction was to ask about looking back and smiling. She didn't expect that there was something else, and Yang Yun was a little embarrassed for a moment.
But what else is going on between him and her?
Xie Chongjin looked at Yang Yun's puzzled eyes, smiled and pointed at Luo Guozhang who was following behind him.
"Give you a peach."
"Ah...give me peaches."
Yang Yun couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw Luo Guozhang carrying two loads of big yellow peaches on his shoulders.
"What? Sister Yun, do you still want to say that you have no merit and no reward?"
Without waiting for Yang Yun to speak, Xie Chongjin continued, "Instead of turning into soil on the ground, why not give some to your house to express your gratitude in advance?"
"What? Brother Xie, you are too violent. How could you let the peach rot and go bad?"
Yang Yun didn't wait for Xie Chongqing to finish speaking, and said with heartache and regret.
"There are not many people in the family, and we can't eat much..."
"Then you take it and sell it."
"I can't even get a few coins from selling it. Besides, I also have to study and prepare for the exam. My mental energy is limited and I really can't bear to spend this time."
"Then how about selling it to me?"
"Sister Yun wants to pick peaches, just pick them. In such a big peach orchard, how many peaches do you want to talk about for money?"
"Brother Xie, I mean to buy all the peaches in Taoyuan."
"all?"
"Yes. I can make peaches into a kind of food and store them. When the fresh fruits are gone in winter, I will definitely make a lot of money by selling them."
"You mean Taojiang?"
"No, I also have to make some peach jam, but what I'm talking about is another way to eat it that I've been thinking about in the past few days."
"In that case, sister Yun, just pick it. I won't take any money from you."
"That won't work. Let's go 50-50."
Seeing that Xie Chongjin was about to refuse again, Yang Yun quickly said, "Don't say send it again. If you say that word again, then I won't do this canning business."
Seeing Yang Yun's "domineering" appearance, Xie Chongjin smiled helplessly, "Okay, but picking peaches requires a lot of hands, and it must be difficult to make and eat. I can't help with anything. Five or five points, I'm really ashamed. Three or seven points.
, you seven and me three, otherwise, I would rather let them turn into soil."
Unexpectedly, Xie Chongjin would use her method to "deal with" her. Yang Yun smiled and nodded in agreement.
"When will Sister Yun come to pick peaches? I can also ask for some help."
"Brother Xie, just study with peace of mind, and I will hire some people in the village. Life is not easy for farmers, so it is just right for them to earn some copper coins to supplement their family income."
"That's fine."
Making cans requires not only manpower, but also a cool and dry cellar, jars, sugar, liquor and other materials.
There is a big cellar at home, with jars, sugar, and liquor. Yang Siming can buy it tomorrow.
"It'll be fine tomorrow."
"That's just right. Many peaches are ripe. I feel pity for them."
…
After Yang Yun returned home, it was already dark, but everyone in the Yang family was still enjoying the cool air in the yard talking, so she talked about picking peaches for canning.
"Yun'er, what kind of food is this canned food you're talking about?"
"Is this canned food delicious?"
"Can it be put in winter?"
Facing the doubts of her family, Yang Yun took out a sealed jar directly from her house.
Naturally, the jar contained the canned food she had made in the past few days.
Each person drank a piece of yellow peach and a little juice, and successfully conquered everyone.
"Yun'er, I'm going to call someone for you." Yang Sanming was a man of action. He stood up and headed out the door.
Yang Yun quickly stopped her, "Third uncle, is it too late now? Everyone in the village is asleep?"
"When they hear that there is money to be made, they can crawl out of bed, let alone not even fall asleep yet."
…
Yang Yun was still sleeping. Last night, the manpower called by Yang Sanming came. Yang Yun had to get up, washed her face and gargled in a hurry, and led a dozen people carrying burdens and wooden ladders to the Taoyuan.
go.
Yang Yun felt a little embarrassed for disturbing Xie Chongjin so early.
As a result, when Yang Yun and others arrived at the gate of Taoyuan, Luo Guozhang was already waiting at the gate.
"Uncle Luo Guo, good morning."
"Miss Yun, good morning."
The job of picking peaches is very simple, and Luo Guozhang will naturally be perfectly qualified. Yang Yun did not say much. After saying hello, Luo Guozhang took Yang Sanming and others into the garden to pick peaches, while she returned home to prepare for other matters.
By the way, I called Zhang Juxiang and her mother to help.
After Yang Qinglin found out that his sister had messed with another kind of food, he came back with Yang Siming, along with the village's bullock carts, both of which had jars on them.
