The next morning, because he was thinking about going to Lin Yuan's place to pick persimmons, it was rare for Lin Yu'an to get up early when the weather was so cold.To be honest, if Lin Shen hadn't agreed yesterday afternoon to help pick persimmons today, Lin Yu'an would have been unwilling to get up from the warm bed.

Even when Lin Yuan was washing, he was still in a daze, half asleep, and Lin Shen, who was watching, was very worried whether Lin Yuan would just stand up and fall asleep again.To be honest, Lin Shen didn't want Lin Yuan to wake up so early, but it turned out that Lin Yuan woke up very consciously.

Lin Shen knew very well that this was because Lin Yuan promised himself yesterday that he would help Persimmon, and he didn't want to renege on his promise and get fat.This also made Lin Shen's heart warm. After all, Lin Yu'an really put him on the top of his heart.

After washing his face and being blown by the cold wind again, Lin Yu'an couldn't help shrinking his neck that was a little goosebumped by the cold wind, and his whole body was stimulated and fully awake.

"It's really cold, Ah Shen, come here and let me hug you." Lin Shen walked up to Lin Yuan very obediently, and let Lin Yuan hug him. "Oh, it's still my husband's body that's warm. I'm not afraid of the cold when I hold you. I just like the feeling of holding you. It's so comfortable."

Lin Shen was amused by Lin Yu'an's tone. He couldn't hold back and gently pinched Lin Yu'an's fleshy face, and said in a tiresome tone, "It's just as long as you like it." After the two got bored for a while , Lin Yuan asked, "What will you eat later?"

"I kneaded the noodles, how about cooking noodles for you later?" I'm a little tired of eating porridge all the time, so it's good to change the taste. "Then I'll eat the spicy one, and add a poached egg."

After Lin Shen kissed Lin Yuan's head, he said, "Okay, you go to the house and wait for me first." Lin Yuan hugged Lin Shen's body tightly, "No, your body is too warm, hug me It's so comfortable, I don't want to let go." Lin Shen had no choice but to let Lin Yuan hug him tightly behind him like a boneless person, while cooking noodles very virtuously.

After eating the spicy noodles to warm up a lot, Lin Yu'an and Lin Shen went to Lin Yuan's side. After opening the door and walking into the yard, Lin Yu'an looked at the persimmon tree almost covered with yellow and orange persimmons with some difficulty. He swallowed.

"This, so many." Lin Shen nodded helplessly, "Well, this persimmon tree was planted by my father and mother a long time ago, so the persimmons produced every year are more expensive than ordinary persimmon trees. Much more."

When Lin Shen said this, Lin Yuan understood. If this tree was planted by Lin Shen's father and mother, then this persimmon tree is probably much older than him and Lin Shen, and it can bear such a fruit. Too many persimmons is nothing to be surprised about.It's just that there are so many persimmons, let the few of them let go of their stomachs to eat, even if their mouths are crooked, they can't finish it.

Thinking so in his heart, Lin Yu'an asked. "Ah Shen, there are so many persimmons, we can't finish them." "Well, but we can make these persimmons into crisp persimmons, soft persimmons and persimmons, so that they can be stored for a longer time, and we can slowly Eat slowly."

Lin Yuan thought that Lin Shen couldn't make persimmons, so he didn't think about it at all, and he had only eaten red persimmons before, and he only knew that red persimmons would not last long, so he asked such a silly question.Lin Shen didn't think it was a big deal, after all, Lin Yu'an really only knew how to read books all day long, so how could he understand these things.

Looking at the tall persimmon tree, Lin Yuan wondered how to pick it so tall and without a ladder. Could it be possible to climb up the tree to pick it?Lin Yu'an didn't have the slightest bit of experience in climbing trees. If he fell down accidentally, he would probably lose half of his life.When Lin Yuan was hesitating whether to ask, Lin Shen turned around and walked to the utility room, and took out two slender bamboo poles, but there was a cloth bag on them.

Lin Yuan took a bamboo pole that Lin Shen handed him, and looked carefully, only to find that there was a wire loop on the mouth of the bag.Xu Shi saw the doubt in Lin Yuan's eyes, and Lin Shen explained, "It's much more convenient to pick persimmons with this one. Use a wire loop to wrap the persimmons like this and twist them, and the persimmons will fall directly into the cloth bag."

As Lin Shen talked, he showed Lin Yuan a demonstration. Originally, Lin Yuan was still a little puzzled as to whether such a bamboo pole and a mesh cloth bag could really pick the persimmons.After seeing Lin Shen's demonstration, he actually picked the persimmons hanging high on the persimmon tree with such ease.

This is simply an artifact for picking persimmons, and I don’t know who came up with it. Lin Yu’an sighed and asked, “It’s amazing, Ah Shen, is this your idea?” Lin Shen shook his head, with a slight expression on his face. nostalgia.

"This is when I wanted to pick persimmons when I was a child, but I couldn't reach them because I was too small, and I couldn't climb trees to pick them. My father thought of many ways to do it."

Lin Yu'an stroked Lin Shen's hair, and comforted him, "It turns out that my father-in-law made it for you specially. It seems that my father-in-law and mother-in-law really love you, but it's a pity that they didn't have time to watch you grow up and see you become so outstanding." , and married a husband who is as good as you."

With a smile in Lin Shen's eyes, he looked at Lin Yu'an tenderly and said, "I know all this, so I don't feel very sentimental, it's just a little bit of nostalgia. If Dad and Ah Mu know that Ah Yuan and I are living so happily, They will also be very happy." Lin Shen was able to think so clearly, and Lin Yu'an felt relieved a lot.

To be honest, he really admired Lin Shen. If it was him, he might blame Lin Shen's mother who followed Lin Shen's father away selfishly. After all, Lin Yu'an and Lin Yuan were really too young at that time.

Lin Shen may not have complained in the most difficult time, but as he grows up at any time, that little bit of resentment has all become nostalgia for the good memories of the past.Now with Lin Yu'an, Lin Shen can somewhat understand what his mother thought at the beginning. If it was him, maybe he would do the same.

"Okay, I don't think so much, we will always be so happy in the future." Lin Shen nodded with a smile, and then he and Lin Yu'an started to get down to business.

With the persimmon-picking artifact made by Lin Shen's father, even Lin Yu'an can easily pick the persimmons from the persimmon tree.Not to mention, picking persimmons is actually quite interesting.Lin Yuan looked at the yellow and orange persimmons in the basket, which made Lin Yuan feel very satisfied, and even made Lin Yuan forget the soreness in his neck and arms.

After a busy morning, Lin Yu'an and Lin Shen picked nearly two large baskets of persimmons. Although it looked like a lot, Lin Yu'an looked up and saw that there were still a lot of persimmons hanging on the persimmon tree, so he didn't want to say anything.

"Yuan, let's pick so many persimmons today, and I'll rub your arms and neck for you later. In the afternoon, I'll make some of the persimmons from these two baskets into crispy persimmons, and slowly add soy sauce to the other part to make soft persimmons." .As for those persimmons on the tree, we will find a way to pick them all tomorrow and then make all those persimmons into persimmons."

It's okay to ask Lin Yu'an to help pick the persimmons. Lin Yu'an doesn't know what kind of persimmons, crunchy persimmons, and soft persimmons. "I listen to you. I don't know anything about these. But I can learn from you slowly. I can't help you too much now, but I can always help you when I become proficient."

Lin Yuan was originally a scholar who liked to read books and write travel notes. It didn't matter whether he learned these chores or not, but Lin Yuan was interested in this and wanted to help him, so Lin Shen was satisfied.

After moving two baskets of persimmons home, after a simple lunch, Lin Shen rubbed Lin Yuan's neck and arms and took a nap with Lin Yuan.After resting for a while, Lin Shen and Lin Yuan were going to make the persimmons they picked in the morning into crisp and soft persimmons.

Before making crispy persimmons, Lin Shen set aside half a basket of persimmons, which Lin Shen planned to save for making soft persimmons.The remaining one and a half baskets of persimmons, Lin Yuan and Lin Shen washed the persimmons with clean water, and at the same time picked out some soft persimmons.After the persimmons were washed, Lin Yuan and Lin Shen put them aside to dry.

Then the two began to make soft persimmons. Soft persimmons are very simple to make, but they can't be kept for too long after they are made, so in order not to waste, Lin Shen planned to make them in batches, only about ten per time.Lin Shen took a bamboo plaque and arranged the persimmons neatly one by one on the bamboo plaque.Then Lin Shen dripped a drop of soy sauce on the tip of each persimmon, and left it for another seven or eight days to eat sweet and soft persimmons.

The soft persimmons were ready, and after the washed persimmons were all dried, Lin Yuan and Lin Shen spread the persimmons layer by layer into the jar, and at the same time sprinkled some white wine evenly on each layer.One and a half baskets of persimmons just filled the big jar nearly eighth full.

All the persimmons were put into jars, and after each layer of persimmons was sprinkled with white wine, Lin Yuan and Lin Shen poured water into the jars, and finally sealed the jars, and put them like soft persimmons for seven or eight days It was almost ready to eat.

"Ah Shen, is making persimmons as easy as crisp and soft persimmons?" Lin Shen shook his head, "Persimmons are more troublesome. I will teach you how to make them after all the persimmons are picked from the tree."

Lin Shen's words were within Lin Yu'an's expectation. After all, Lin Yu'an remembered that the persimmon cakes here were quite expensive. Two persimmon cakes cost 3 Wen. Buying a few more would be worth a catty of rice or a catty of meat.If persimmons were as easy as making soft and crisp persimmons, then other people would just do some day labor and just make persimmons at home.

"Okay. Ah Shen, after we have processed these persimmons, let's go to the town. We have to buy some things we need before it snows and the road is easier to walk, especially things like silver. Silk charcoal also has some dry goods that can be stored for a long time. In addition, we have to stop by to see Ayuan and the others. I don’t think they will come back until the Chinese New Year. We have to bring them some chestnuts and Things like walnuts go."

In fact, even if Lin Yuan didn't say anything, Lin Shen also had this plan, but he didn't bring Lin Yuan with him in his plan. After all, no one knew better than him how much Lin Yuan didn't like riding in a carriage.But since Lin Yu'an wanted to go with him, Lin Shen would naturally not refuse.
