Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools
Chapter 30 Strawberry Jam
"Yuxuan has done a great job. With you and mother taking care of the household, I can earn money with peace of mind."
After saying that, Leng Ruoxue hugged Yuxuan.
“I’m an adult now.”
Leng Yuxuan blushed and quickly struggled out of Leng Ruoxue's arms.
Leng Ruoxue:……
"Mom, I'm going to teach you how to make strawberry jam. I originally wanted to let Yuxuan try it first, but this is something that only women and children like to eat. What a pity..."
Leng Ruoxue sighed.
"It's sour and sweet. You can eat it with steamed buns, soak it in water, or make a snack..."
“I can barely taste it.”
Leng Yuxuan hugged Leng Ruoxue and said, "I'm going to feed the chickens."
Liu Ruxu and Leng Ruoxue laughed out loud.
After laughing, I started making strawberry jam.
Without white vinegar and lemon juice, I don’t know how long it can be preserved.
After thinking about it, I realized that pickling strawberries takes time, so I could also try canned strawberries.
You can also try dried strawberries...
So, that day, Liu Ruxu had no time to go out and reclaim the land.
I'm busy doing these things.
I didn’t do much, mainly because there weren’t many strawberries.
Several small jars of each kind were made, sealed with mud, and placed in the cellar to see how long they could be preserved under natural conditions.
After two days of hard work, a carriage entered the village.
Nowadays, families who own cows are considered wealthy.
A family with chickens is also a wealthy family.
After working in the fields, most of the crops are planted. If the seeds distributed are not enough, then we plant something else.
So when the carriage entered the village, everyone gathered around to watch.
"Excuse me, where is Leng Ruoxue's home?"
A young man of about eighteen or nineteen asked for directions.
"Who are you? What do you want from Ruoxue?"
The people in the village are very vigilant, and Ruoxue is also responsible for exchanging strawberries for food for everyone.
"I'm a clerk at Yipinju. Our boss wants to see Miss Leng about something."
"What is Yipinju?"
"Yipinju Teahouse in the County"
The young man puffed out his chest proudly.
The village chief understood that the wealthy family in the county that Leng Ruoxue was talking about was this family.
"Let's go, I'll take you there"
After the village chief said this, everyone dispersed and just looked secretly and walked slowly, trying to hear something.
The man got off the car, led the horse, and followed the village chief.
"Ruoxue knows your shopkeeper?"
"Yes"
"Do you also harvest strawberries?"
The waiter stopped talking because the shopkeeper didn't allow him to speak.
Seeing this, the village chief stopped asking and continued:
"How long does it take to drive a horse-drawn carriage from the county town to our village?"
"About three hours"
"Okay, this is the house in front."
The village chief did not go in, so the young man thanked him and knocked on the door.
Liu Ruxu went to open up wasteland, Leng Yuxuan went to herd cattle, and only Leng Ruoxue was sleeping at home.
The man knocked for a long time but got no response. He found a villager, who took him to find Liu Ruxu.
"Aunt, I'm looking for Leng Ruoxue. I'm from the Yipinju Teahouse in the county town. Our boss wants to see Miss Leng for something."
The guy was experienced now and introduced himself as soon as he arrived.
"She's at home...Oh, come on, I'll take you there"
Liu Ruxu just remembered that her daughter was catching up on her sleep at home.
Coming into the yard, the guy looked at the two straw huts...
"Brother, have some water. I'll go call Ruoxue."
"Thank you, auntie"
The guy sat down and drank water.
"Ruoxue, get up quickly, someone is looking for you"
Leng Ruoxue was awakened from her sleep.
I was a little grumpy when I woke up, so I took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll be there soon."
After putting on his clothes and washing up, he walked to the thatched hut in front.
"Miss Leng, our shopkeeper asked me to bring you a letter."
The guy handed over a letter.
Leng Ruoxue opened it and found the addresses of four Yipinju restaurants and the names of their owners.
Yipinju agreed to Leng Ruoxue's conditions, but Leng Ruoxue had to make a delivery first. Each store was guaranteed to deliver 100 kilograms, and the excess would be delivered to the provincial capital. The price was 100 wen per kilogram as Leng Ruoxue said.
The carriage was lent to Leng Ruoxue.
"I see. How are you going back, little brother?"
"Let me see if I can stop a passing horse or ox cart."
The guy hadn't thought about this problem yet and regretted it now. He should have brought another horse from the store.
"How about this, I'll take you back, and on the way you can teach me how to drive a horse carriage."
"That's great. We've got some horse feed ready. I'll go unload it."
The guys helped unload the horse feed quickly.
I told Liu Ruxu that I was going to the county town and might not be back until late at night.
The servant taught Leng Ruoxue how to drive a horse-drawn carriage. With her experience in driving an ox-drawn cart, Leng Ruoxue learned it quickly.
Leng Ruoxue rushed to Wangjia Village and called Liu Datong.
Amid the envy and jealousy of the people in Wangjia Village, he drove out in a horse-drawn carriage.
"Ruoxue, you can drive a carriage now."
Liu Datong was extremely envious.
"Well, uncle, it's your turn now."
Liu Datong came out as soon as he was called, without even asking what he was doing there.
"Okay, okay, okay, you take a rest, uncle will come"
The guy resigned himself to his fate and taught Liu Datong how to drive the horse.
Leng Ruoxue experienced the horse-drawn carriage and found it was indeed faster than an ox-drawn carriage, and it had seats and was comfortable.
I started to catch up on my sleep in the carriage.
I woke up only when I arrived at Yipinju.
The waiter took Leng Ruoxue to see the shopkeeper and arranged for Liu Datong to drink tea in the backyard.
"Shopkeeper, this is my title deed. I'll borrow the carriage first. I'll leave the title deed here with you. When I return the carriage, you can return the title deed to me."
Leng Ruoxue was very grateful to the shopkeeper for trusting her so much.
When the waiter looked at his own hut, Leng Ruoxue felt his worry. Instead of making others worry, it would be better for everyone to have peace of mind.
"I didn't realize that Miss Leng has a house in the county town, and it's near the school."
The shopkeeper took a look at the deed and pushed it back.
"I know your family lives in Lengjia Village and you have a house in the county town, so I'm not worried."
"That's fine too." Seeing the guy who led the way looked relieved, Leng Ruoxue took back the house deed.
"I have one more thing to say, about these strawberries. The shopkeeper knows that they are wild fruits from the mountains. Although I promise to only sell them to Yipinju, if others pick them from the mountains and sell them, I can't do anything about it."
“This is normal”
The shopkeeper knew it well. "As long as you didn't sell it, it's not considered a breach of contract."
"Another question, do I need a guide?"
Leng Ruoxue remembered that a pass seemed to be needed.
"Yes, you need a pass to enter the city, I forgot about that."
The shopkeeper just remembered.
"Then could you please help me get a pass?"
"I'll ask someone to help you with this little matter."
The shopkeeper gave instructions to the waiter who was to lead the way.
"I want two people"
The shopkeeper gave Leng Ruoxue paper and pen, and Leng Ruoxue wrote down her name and household registration, which were hers and Liu Datong's.
"Miss Leng, you mentioned last time that you can use strawberries to make desserts. I asked someone to try it. You can try it."
Leng Ruoxue took the dessert, which was made of strawberries and dough, and was also in the shape of strawberries. It looked very delicious.
After tasting it, the heated strawberries didn't taste that good.
