Marrying a village tyrant husband with space, being spoiled by the in-laws

The two of them were only focused on learning the secret recipe and didn't think too much about it. They worked diligently and hard, washing the apricots for most of the day without complaint. It was only by lunchtime that they had finally washed all the more than 200 kilograms of apricots.

"Well, you have learned well. You washed the apricots very well. I am grateful to you. I only told you this and you have learned all the essentials."

Zheng Wangshi was praised so much that she felt a little proud.

"I'm from the third family. I'm not bragging. I was very smart before I got married. I could learn anything quickly. After I married Wenjie's father, my family started a small business, and I was the one who took care of all the chores."

"Aunt, even if you don't say it, I can see it. Come on, let's go eat. I will teach you the next step in the afternoon."

"Okay, okay, let's go and eat."

Zheng Wang was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Maybe she was tired from working all morning, so she ate two steamed buns with wild vegetables in one go and had a big bowl of soup.

Zheng Yueer is usually so picky, but today she didn't complain about the wild vegetable steamed buns being unpalatable and ate two.

You see, people are just bad habits. When they are very hungry, there won’t be so many problems.

After dinner, before the two of them had a chance to rest, Yu Suihuan started calling for people.

"Aunt, let's learn the next step. The next step is the most important. If we don't do it well, the honey apricots will not taste right."

When the two heard that it was so important, they didn't care about being tired and ran to the yard happily.

"The next thing we need to do is to peel and pit the apricots. Don't think it's as simple as just peeling and pitting. If you don't do it thoroughly, the honey apricots you make will taste bitter."

Yu Suihuan picked up one and demonstrated it to the two people.

"You see, just remove the skin and divide it in half, then dig out all the stuff inside. Make sure you dig it out completely."

The two listened carefully, and sat under the scorching sun and began to peel and core the fruits carefully.

After teaching the two people, Yu Suihuan went back to the house to take a nap. She didn't want to work because it was so hot. She was not stupid.

She slept until she woke up naturally, then yawned and walked out of the room.

Both Zheng Wangshi and Zheng Yue'er were sunburned so hard that their faces turned red and they were sweating profusely.

It took two of them to harvest more than 200 kilograms of apricots. Their hands were almost exhausted, but they finally got everything done.

"Aunt, you finished it so quickly. No wonder everyone praises you for being a good worker. Yue'er did a good job too. You have made great progress. I have taught you the first two most important steps in making honey apricots. I will teach you the third step in the evening.

Usually these tasks are done by the entire Li family together, but today two people did all the work, and the others went to work in the fields.

She first went to the kitchen to boil two large pots of water to cool them down, and then put the boiling water in the pots back into the vat to cool down.

For dinner, I made fried eggplant and pepper with lard, mixed a cucumber, and made pancakes with lard.

If you want the horse to run, you still have to reward it a little, otherwise how can two people have the strength to work.

There will be wild peaches and wild cherries for them to deal with tomorrow.

Tonight's meal was rich in oil and we ate it voraciously.

After dinner, the whole family helped to wash the jars.

"Aunt, put these cut apricots into the jar until about half of them are in place. Putting more or less won't work. Yue'er, come over here and see where to put them."

Yu Suihuan deliberately made them work. Who would be willing to support two idle people who eat and drink for free every day?

After removing the skin and core of two hundred and twenty kilograms of apricots and putting them into one hundred cans, there were still a lot left, so she secretly put some into the space.

By the time all this was done, it was already very dark.

Zheng Wangshi and Zheng Yueer were so tired that they sat down on small stools.

"Aunt, there is a next step. We need to add some water. Just putting apricots in it won't do."

Yu Suihuan picked up the ladle from the jar and started adding water into it one can at a time.

"You see, this much water should be enough in each jar.

Zheng Wang thought back to all the steps. It was just washing the apricots, removing the core and putting them in a jar with water. She wondered how to do it. This was too simple.

"Can I just put some cold water in it?"

Yu Suihuan nodded seriously.

"Well, just add cold water. You can't eat it right away after adding these. You also need to close the lid tightly. The next step will take some time, and it's too late now. I'll tell you what to do next tomorrow."

In order to learn the recipe well, Zheng Wangshi had to endure the pain in her arms and fill all the remaining jars with water.

Yu Suihuan waited until the two of them had finished everything before he stood up from the stool.

"We have been studying all day. You and Yue'er are tired. Go back to sleep."

The two felt relieved and could finally go to sleep.

Not long after returning to the room, they heard snoring sounds from inside. The two of them had really worked hard today under Yu Suihuan's orders.

After making sure that the three members of the Zheng family were asleep, Yu Suihuan and Li Chengjin sneaked into the kitchen and added sugar and rock sugar to the 100 jars, and then steamed them in the cage. After all the jars were steamed, they closed the lids of the jars one by one.

It was already late at night when the two of them finished all these, so they sneaked back to their room and went to sleep.

Perhaps they were too tired yesterday, Zheng Wangshi and Zheng Yue'er slept until noon before getting up. After getting up, they felt sore all over and their hands were shaking.

Seeing the two of them coming out, Yu Suihuan, who had been waiting in the yard, hurriedly stepped forward to greet them enthusiastically.

"Auntie, Yue'er, you guys are up. I just covered the jars of honey apricots. The next step is to tie them up tightly with straw ropes. Come on, I'll teach you how to do it."

The two of them looked miserable. Couldn't they take a break after just getting up?

Although it was very tiring, Zheng Wang was very enthusiastic about learning the prescription.

It doesn't matter if she is tired, as long as she can learn it, good days are ahead.

Zheng Yue'er didn't want to do it at first, but when she thought about what her mother said last night, that if they got the recipe, they could earn a lot of money, and she could even marry into a wealthy family in the city, she had to endure the pain all over her body and carefully tied the straw rope to the jar.

"Aunt, Yue'er, after you close the lid tightly, you must not open it again, otherwise it won't be done. The apricots must be kept in the jar for at least five days before they are considered done. And it's fine to keep it for half a year or a year, and you can eat it for a long time."

"All of these must be moved to the thatched house at the back where they cannot be seen by the sun."

The two men nodded solemnly, tied the straw ropes, and moved the jars one by one to the thatched hut in the backyard.

There is no need for this. Yu Suihuan just wants to make trouble for the two of them.

Li Chengjin went to buy another hundred jars today. When he went to the town this time, he found that someone had imitated them and started selling candied apricots at the same place where they had set up their stall before.
