This fruit is very sour. It is already very good for every household in the village to be able to fill their stomachs. Who would eat such a sour fruit?

But it is precisely because of this that the fruit has been preserved until now. Otherwise, it would have been picked up by the naughty kids in the village long ago, and there would be no fruit left.

"I just don't know what the loquat paste Yunchu mentioned will taste like once it's made."

Seeing that the fruit was washed, peeled and cored, and even the leaves were used to boil water, they had never heard of these before. Seeing Lin Yunchu doing this, they were very curious.

Lin Yunchu chuckled, lowered his head, picked up a loquat fruit, quickly peeled it, gently broke it in half, peeled out the core, and casually put the flesh into a bowl beside him.

He responded, "That's not difficult. I'll give each of you a taste when I'm done cooking."

We have picked quite a few fruits. There should be quite a few when we boil the soup later. We can take some back to them. They can be mixed with water and drink. The sour and sweet taste is not only delicious but also can relieve cough.

Qingxi Village is located in a remote area. Usually, if someone in a family has a headache or fever, they rarely go to the doctor to ask for medicine. Most people just rely on hard work to get through it.

It costs a lot of money to see a doctor and prescribe medicine. No one is well-off and no one is willing to spend this money.

"That's a good feeling. I'm very curious."

The two families have always had a good relationship, and Xu did not hide anything, saying whatever she thought.

After working for more than an hour, everyone finally managed to pick all the loquats. It was almost dark.

Lin's father and mother stopped Lin Qingshan's family from rushing back home, "Brother, what are you doing? It's almost dark now. Just have dinner here."

Lin Wenshan has always respected his eldest brother. Today, his eldest brother and his family have been busy at home for half a day. There is no reason to let them go back hungry.

Lin Qingshan waved his hands repeatedly, stood up, washed his hands, and led the rest of the family back.

It's no big deal to help my younger brother. It just takes some effort and it's not tiring. I always eat and drink at my younger brother's house. They have such a big family.

My younger brother's family is not well off, so they can't afford such expenses.

Lin Qingshan thought that even if his younger brother and his family earned some money, they should save it well and live a good life.

Seeing that Lin Wenshan couldn't stop his uncle, Lin Yunchu quickly said, "Uncle, let's eat here tonight. We still have to go into the mountains tomorrow. Don't go back to work."

"Besides, I haven't made the loquat paste yet. I want you to taste it later."

Lin Yunchu winked at Lin's mother, who immediately understood, smiled, and said to Xu who was standing next to her:

"That's right, sister-in-law, please come with me to the kitchen and help me. Yun Chu still needs to make that loquat paste, so I have to cook dinner."

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she looked at Lin Qingshan and knew that she had to listen to her husband on this matter.

Lin Qingshan looked at Lin Yunchu's family and couldn't help laughing. He called Xu and Changping's wife and asked them to go to the kitchen to help.

Several people helped to carry the cleaned loquat meat to the kitchen. Lin's mother and others were responsible for cooking dinner, while Lin Yunchu continued to make loquat paste.

Lin Yunchu poured the filtered loquat leaf juice into the pot, lit the fire, poured the pulp in and boiled it together.

She asked Lin Changan, who was following her to help her, to help watch the fire, then turned and went into the house to bring in the candies she had bought today.

Pour it into the bubbling pot and stir it from time to time to prevent it from sticking to the pot and burning, otherwise the taste will be unpleasant.

As time passed, the juice in the pot gradually became less. Lin Yunchu stirred it with the spoon in his hand while observing the changes in the pot.

When you see it’s almost done, pour the previously ground Fritillaria powder into the pot and continue stirring and simmering.

"Changan, you can take out the firewood from the stove."

Now the whole Lin family kitchen was filled with the sweet aroma of fruit. Zhao Chunxi looked at the loquat paste that even had such a beautiful color and couldn't help but take a deep breath in this direction.

It turned out that this was the loquat paste that Lin Yunchu had mentioned. She had been watching Lin Yunchu making it.

She saw every little change in the pot and thought it was magical. The fruits hanging on the tree became such beautiful jam, and the taste was also very sweet. She thought it must taste good.

Putting aside other things, Lin Yunchu put sugar in it, and sugar is very precious. Who in this village would be willing to buy so much sugar and make jam with fruits that no one eats?

Others probably wouldn’t even dare to think about it. If one thing is not done well, the loss will be huge.

While eating, the prepared loquat paste was placed in the kitchen to cool down.

After dinner, Lin Yunchu boiled some water and made a cup of loquat paste for everyone in the family.

"You all try it and see how it tastes?"

Everyone knew that Lin Yunchu had put sugar in it, so they all picked up their cups and took a sip.

"Sister, this is sour and sweet and delicious, and it has a fruity flavor."

Lin Changan quickly drank most of the wine with a "gulp gurgle" sound, licked his lips and said to Lin Yunchu:

"I didn't expect this sour fruit to be so delicious. I wouldn't get tired of it even if I ate it every day."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin's mother glanced at him. The smile on Lin Chang'an's face froze, and he immediately lowered his head to continue drinking the loquat paste water, not daring to say anything.

There are fruits and candies in it, how can it not taste good?

Mrs. Xu smiled and said in admiration: "It's really good, even better than I thought, sour and sweet, no wonder our Chang'an likes it."

Lin Chang'an is the youngest child in the Lin family, and Lin Qingshan's family usually favors him.

Lin Yunchu drank the loquat paste water, which was almost the same as what he drank when he was a child. He was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that this was a success.

Then I will go to the town the day after tomorrow to see if I can sell it. If I can, I can pick all the loquats in the back mountain and make them into loquat paste, which is all money.

"I filled a jar with it. Please remember to take it home later, aunt and uncle. You can brew it and drink it when you catch a cold and have a cough."

It tastes sour and sweet, and not only children like it, but adults like it too.

Xu didn't refuse and nodded repeatedly with a smile.

It just so happened that she caught a cold these days and always had a cough at night. Lin Yunchu said that drinking this was just right for her.

After Lin Qingshan and his family returned, Lin Yunchu found a few jars, put the cooled loquat paste in them, sealed the jars, and took them into the house.

After a busy day, the Lin family members dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.
