"Grandma, we're back from school." As soon as they entered the yard, Qing Ning and the others shouted towards the kitchen.

When Old Lady Chen heard they were leaving school, she came out and said with a smile, "Go wash your hands! Dinner will be served soon."

The group of people scattered like birds and beasts, each washing their hands with water.

"You guys came back early today." Old Master Yu said with a smile when he walked in and saw them all there.

"grandfather" "grandfather" "grandfather"

“Grandpa Yu” “Grandpa Yu” . . . .

Several people greeted Mr. Yu one by one, and Mr. Yu nodded in response.

He looked at Qing Ning and said, "Qing Ning, when will the ice jelly you mentioned yesterday be made?"

Qing Ning said, "Let's make it after dinner. We can make not only wild loquats but also mantou fruit. Let's make two today to see which tastes better."

As soon as Qing Ning finished speaking, a group of people gathered around.

"Sister Qingning, how do you do that? I'll help you." Yu Jinan was very proactive.

Guo Xinming followed suit and said, "Yes, yes, let's help together."

Xue Luo took Qing Ning's hand and said, "And me."

The little lemon boy was surrounded by them and felt very oppressed.

"Okay, okay, you all stay and help after dinner." As soon as Qing Ning finished speaking, the few people immediately dispersed.

"Hurry up, help set the table and the food so we can finish eating as soon as possible so we can make the ice jelly." Several people were busy, some moving the table and some carrying the plates.

The meal was served and everyone was present. Without saying much, he urged the elders to sit down and pick up their chopsticks, which made the elders feel confused.

The few of them finished their meal as quickly as possible, and after getting permission, they immediately left the table and followed Qing Ning to wait for arrangements.

The Qingsong brothers looked on with envy. Seeing their interest, Yu Wu said, "You should come along too. You've been studying well these days, so I'll let you relax a little this afternoon. It's hard to make progress if you keep tensing up all day."

The four brothers were very happy to get leave from the teacher. They paid their respects and followed him.

"Alas, this is the time when young people are reckless and free-spirited." Mr. Ma couldn't help but sigh, he is still young and brilliant, how envious!

Thinking that Zhang Quan had three people, Mr. Ma had to ask Old Mrs. Chen for help. The meals of the two generations of grandparents and grandchildren would be shared with the gentlemen in the future, and only the old lady's meals would be served separately.

Mrs. Chen agreed immediately and told him to rest assured. Then she went to simmer some soup on the stove and would bring it over when the time came.

Qing Ning led a group of people to sort out the fruits they had recently harvested, and showed them to them, saying, "This small one is a wild loquat, and this one is a thunder fruit. Pick them out."

Everyone obeyed the instructions completely without any objection. After picking the fruits, he took them back to the yard and took the utensils and other things.

"Now wash these wild loquats and remove the stems. Don't throw away the bad ones." Qing Ning said one step and everyone followed.

The boys are responsible for fetching water for washing, while the girls are responsible for picking and removing the stems.

While doing this, Qingning boiled a pot of water and let it cool down. She washed the newly bought cotton cloth with hot water and also cleaned the ceramic basin and set it aside.

"Qingning and these wild loquats have been cleaned, what's next?" Guo Xian asked.

"The water has not cooled down yet, so wait a while. First, take out the seeds from these thunder fruits and then dry them."

"Does this need to be dried? Can't eat it today?" Xue Luo felt a little regretful.

Qing Ning smiled and said, "Don't we have wild loquats today? Let's eat this today and the other one the day after tomorrow."

Xue Luo pouted, feeling a little regretful.

Several people were busy again, some cutting fruits and some digging seeds, all in an orderly manner. A group of handsome men and women with perfect colors formed a beautiful scene in themselves!

After the water in the pot cooled down, Qing Ning asked Qing Song, Guo Xinjun and Qing Wu to rub the powder and put on homemade cotton gloves for them.

"My three brothers, please watch carefully. Wrap this wild loquat with cotton cloth and tie it tightly. Then put it in the water and rub it like this to squeeze out all the juice." Qing Ning said as he demonstrated it a few times with his hands.

The three of them nodded in understanding, showing a strong momentum to accomplish great things.

"What happened? When can we eat?" After dinner, Mr. Yu was called by Mr. Ma to discuss Mr. Zhang's matter with the village chief. As soon as he finished, he ran back.

"Grandpa Yu isn't well yet. The three brothers are making juice. He's feeling better now." There were a lot of wild loquats, and they wouldn't be kept for long, so they prepared to cook them all. Everyone took a small bite.

Old Master Yu rolled up his sleeves, came over and said, "Is there anything I can help with? It's really fun to see you guys making this."

Qing Ning said, "Grandpa Yu, why don't you go pick some fruits and put them in the ice jelly later."

"Okay," he said, picking up the basket and walking away. After a few steps, he turned back and said, "Girl, can any fruit be used?"

After getting Qingning's affirmation, he walked faster.

"Qingning, come and see if this is okay?" Guo Xinjun called out.

When I looked over at the lime, I saw that the juice was ruby ​​red and the loquat flesh in the cotton cloth was almost done.

"Brother Guo, you're done. Pour out the residue and replace it with another batch."

There was a whole basin full of wild loquats, and the three of them kneaded them for half an hour before half of them were eaten.

Yu Xian'an stepped forward and said, "You three take a break, it's our turn."

The three of them naturally responded and exchanged equipment with Yu Xian'an and the other two.

After finally rubbing all the wild loquats, I covered them with a curtain and placed them in well water for an hour to solidify.

"Wash these wild fruits, cut them into small pieces and put them in here later. I'll go make some brown sugar water." Qingning gave the instructions and went to add ingredients to the pot.

"Where is this juice dyeing? Look at my fingers." Yu Jinan was a little frightened and asked the other people to stretch out their hands for comparison.

"Why can't Qing Ning wash his stained hands?"

"There's no way, this is indeed not easy to wash, but don't worry that time will erase everything!" Qingning smiled slyly and went back into the kitchen.

Meng Er came over and patted his shoulder and said, "Time will erase everything, don't worry about it, second cousin."

"Hahaha~~~"

Yu Jinan stared at a group of people gloating over someone else's misfortune and said he didn't want to pay any attention to them.

When everything was ready and the juice had solidified, I scooped a small bowl, poured in brown sugar water, added the fruit I liked, and let Mr. Yu taste the first bowl.

"I thought it would have a sticky taste, but it turned out to be so delicate and smooth, with a fresh fragrance and brown sugar. The fruit is really delicious, refreshing and refreshing." Grandpa Yu loved it so much that he couldn't stop eating it.

After hearing this, the others waited eagerly. Qing Ning asked them to serve themselves and add their favorite fresh fruits.

"Ah, after finishing this bowl, most of the restlessness in my heart has gone away. I feel comfortable."

"Well, this is really a delicious snack."

Everyone loves this taste.

"Wild loquats are not easy to preserve and can only be eaten at this time of the year. But the thunder fruit is different. The seeds can be dried and preserved for a long time. When you want to eat it, just soak it in water and rub it. It tastes better than the wild loquat." Qing Ning also scooped a small bowl for himself.

"Then let's go to the mountains to look for this fruit tomorrow and bring back more so that we don't have to worry about running out of food." It should be said that what Xue Luo said was also what Qing Ning was thinking.

There were still a lot of lemons left, so the brothers sent some to the school to the teacher, and some to the workshop. They kept a little for their family to taste, and then all the lemons were gone. The group of people still felt unsatisfied!
