Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy
Chapter 51 Making Jam and Wine
Pumpkin vines also need to be pinched so that they can grow better. Otherwise, the pumpkin vines will grow too much and the nutrients will be absorbed, and the pumpkin will not grow well.
Xu Han looked at the overgrown pumpkin vines and decided to clean them up. She turned around and went home to get a backpack and started pinching the pumpkin heads.
Pumpkin heads are delicious when used to make soup or stir-fry. In a short while, I picked two large baskets full of pumpkin vines.
Now we can directly pinch off all the pumpkin vines that need to be pinched.
Xu Han has never eaten winter melon vines, so they should be inedible. However, in order to produce better winter melons, the vines need to be topped off. The pinched off heads can be directly fed to chickens, ducks and geese.
After pinching the vines, Xu Han got up and went home. She first went to the backyard to take out the winter melon vines and feed them to the chickens, ducks and geese.
Then I took out a handful of pumpkin vines and went to the water tank to clean them, peeled off the old skin, and started to prepare to go to the kitchen to make lunch.
Xu Han is the only one at home today, so all she needs to do is make a simple dish of stir-fried pumpkin vines.
Heat oil in a pan, add chili peppers and peppercorns into the pan and stir-fry until fragrant, then add pumpkin vines into the pan, stir-fry, add seasonings and serve.
Simple and delicious! The staple food is rice. Lu Chuan is not at home, so just take out a meat dish from the space. I am too lazy to make another meat dish!
After eating, Xu Han planned to use up the prickly ash in the space. The prickly ash had been picked for a long time, and there were a lot of them piled up in the space. Originally, she planned to make wine and jam.
But I've been busy lately and haven't found time to do these things.
First, soak all kinds of thorny bubbles in a large wooden basin for a while, then clean them, and then put them aside to drain the water. They will be used to make jam later.
Take this time to clean the jar that will be used to store the jam.
Rinse the jar with boiling water and dry it. Make sure there is no moisture left, otherwise the jam will easily go bad.
Then boil different types of prickly ash separately, add prickly ash and appropriate amount of sugar into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat until it becomes a thick jam, then you can turn off the heat and serve.
After all three kinds of prickly ash jams were cooked, it was getting dark. At this time, Lu Chuan had also returned and went straight into the kitchen to help light the fire.
After everything is cooked, put it into the jar. The jars used to hold jam are small jars, which are convenient for taking when using.
After it's done, of course we have to try how it tastes first! Xu Han took out the hot steamed buns from the space, spread the jam directly on the buns, gave one to Lu Chuan, and made one for herself. After tasting it, it tasted sour and sweet and it was really delicious!
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xu Han asked.
"Mm, it's sour and sweet! You girls should like it very much!" Lu Chuan only ate one and stopped.
I prefer something with a stronger flavor! These are what little girls like to eat. They look expensive, so I'll leave them for my wife to eat slowly.
Xu Han mixed the jam into a cup of water, which was also delicious! Sour and sweet, she finally didn't have to drink plain water anymore!
You can add a little every time you drink water, flavored water tastes better!
The honeysuckle that was dried some time ago can also be used to make tea, but after all, it is a medicinal herb and cannot be made into tea every day.
But jam is different. You can drink it every day and it has different flavors. You can make jams with other fruit flavors when you have free time.
Now that we have an alternative to tea, we don’t have to drink plain water every day anymore!
Lu Chuan's reaction to the water made with jam was also mediocre! Relatively speaking, he preferred the tea made with honeysuckle.
Well! Everyone has their own preferences. It seems that few boys like to eat these things. Generally, girls like them more.
At dinner time, Xu Han cooked a few home-cooked dishes. Another meal.
The next morning, after getting up and having breakfast, Xu Han came to wash the prickly ash again. Today she needed to use the prickly ash to make some fruit wine.
First clean the prickly ash and jar, drain the water, and set aside.
I went to the backyard to pull out the weeds in the vegetable patch. The main point is not to waste time.
After the water has dried up, I start making fruit wine again.
Put different kinds of prickly ash into different jars, then add the white wine bought in the county town, and then put a certain proportion of rock sugar in it.
Seal it and store it for about a month before drinking.
The temperature outside was still a bit high, so it would be safer to put the wine in the cellar. Xu Han took all the wine jars to the cellar to ferment slowly.
After everything was taken care of, it seemed like there was nothing left to do.
So I plan to paste more soles while the weather is good these days.
Lu Chuan was running around in the mountains every day, and Xu Han was also walking all the time, which really wore out her shoes. The shoes she had made before had already been worn out.
Xu Han planned to paste more soles and make more shoes when the winter comes.
We usually don’t have time to do it, but a few days ago Lu Chuan bought two pairs of shoes for each of them from the county town!
The main reason is that there are too many things to do every day and I have no time to do anything.
He started to work right away. He took out the scraps of cloth that the owner of the cloth shop gave him when he bought cloth before, pieced them together and started to paste the soles of the shoes.
Paste several large boards at home, and continue pasting after drying. Repeat this process until winter comes and you will definitely have a lot of soles...
After the paste was finished, Lu Chuan also came back from the county town, and brought back a lot of grapes today. Two full baskets.
Xu Han's eyes lit up when she saw the grapes Lu Chuan brought back. She was so happy. It had been a long time since she had eaten grapes.
I immediately took out a bunch and went to the kitchen to wash them. As I was washing them, I couldn't wait to put one in my mouth. Wow! This is so delicious!
"Where did you buy the grapes? They're so delicious." After saying that, she put one into Lu Chuan's mouth.
"It's delicious. I'll buy you some more next time. It's the grape season now, and there are many people selling grapes in the market."
"Okay, then buy more! If there are other fruits, don't miss them!"
Lu Chuan knew that Xu Han loved to eat these, so he readily agreed, "I understand."
At this moment, Xu Han was really glad that she came to an era where ordinary people could eat fruits, instead of an era where only royal relatives or the rich and powerful could eat fruits.
Otherwise, I really won’t be able to eat any other fruits except those in the space.
At dinner time, Xu Han didn't cook, and directly took out some food from the space for Lu Chuan to eat! She was full after eating grapes.
