This orange tree is very tall. After climbing up, you can pick a lot of oranges, all of which are relatively large. However, only Wang Er can climb the tree here.
The remaining ones that couldn't be picked were left by Tang Xiaoman. Tang Xiaoman still cared about whether these oranges were good or not.
Those oranges in the shade are a little sour, so no one wants to eat marmalade like this.
When everyone started picking oranges, Tang Xiaoman had already begun to feel very tired. After all, the process of picking oranges here was nothing compared to picking dried camellias before.
As soon as Tang Xiaoman arrived at the door, he saw a very luxurious carriage stopping at the door of their house.
Tang Xiaoman asked Sun to take the oranges back to their house first, rub the peels of the oranges clean with salt, and then put them in a pot to stew.
The person who came to Tang Xiaoman's door was obviously waiting for her and came for her, so Tang Xiaoman walked straight over and asked: "Hello, are you here to see me? ?”
As a result, the man driving the carriage opened the curtain, and Tang Xiaoman saw that the person inside turned out to be the boss of Fumanlou.
"It's me, madam, I'm here to find you!"
Tang Xiaoman was actually not too surprised. At this time, she felt that it would definitely happen and it would not be surprising.
"Madam, I wonder if Madam can prepare those orange jams I ordered last time?"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Xiaoman seemed a little embarrassed. In fact, she went out to pick oranges this time just to order them in time for the boss of the Fumanlou family.
Boss Zhang was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "What should I do? After I gave it to our boss, he liked it very much and asked me to bring more to him. Look, I'm coming here!"
In fact, Tang Xiaoman also knew what the boss had in mind. He came to Tang Xiaoman this time probably to find out how Tang Xiaoman made marmalade.
Needless to say, Boss Zhang had probably found someone to imitate Tang Xiaoman's marmalade and make it, but it didn't seem to be successful, so he came to find Tang Xiaoman.
However, Tang Xiaoman's orange jam this time also had fruit balsamic vinegar. This fruit was discovered in the mountains, similar to today's lemons.
But the people in the mountains didn't know it and thought it was an ordinary fruit. They didn't expect that if the juice of this thing was added to the orange jam, it would make the orange jam sweet and sour, and very delicious.
But of course Tang Xiaoman couldn't expose Boss Zhang's thoughts directly. She assured Boss Zhang: "Since Boss Zhang came all the way here, it is support for my business. Don't worry, these twenty cans of I will definitely deliver the orange jam to you tomorrow morning!"
When Boss Zhang heard this, he immediately beamed with joy. In fact, he was planning to follow Tang Xiaoman into the house to see how Tang Xiaoman was making the orange jam in the kitchen. Of course, Tang Xiaoman blocked him out.
"Okay then, Boss Zhang, please come back!"
"What about the price?"
Boss Zhang still looked into Tang Xiaoman's kitchen without giving up, talking about the price, but thinking about the recipe of the orange jam.
This looks a bit like a boss, but Tang Xiaoman thinks it's funny. How could I tell you?
"The price is still fifteen cents per can, as agreed before. If Boss Zhang comes again next time, I will pay the original price of twenty cents per can."
"make a deal!"
Boss Zhang was very cheerful and immediately took out the four hundred coins and gave it to Tang Xiaoman.
After Tang Xiaoman finally sent Boss Zhang away, she returned to her kitchen and started making jam. At this time, Su Ping'an was also helping her. Tang Xiaoman felt that this man was really good. Nuan, he has always been taking care of Tang Xiaoman. Now that his leg is lame, he still does not forget to take care of Tang Xiaoman. He always thinks of others, but because of this he forgets himself.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaoman said to Su Pingan: "Tomorrow I will go to the market and buy you some big bones. Stewing them in soup will help your bones heal!"
Tonight's dinner was mushroom soup, which seemed watery, but Su Ping'an still objected and was reluctant to spend the money.
Tang Xiaoman said: "We have saved a lot of money recently. What's the point of just making money without spending it? Pork bones are indeed a bit expensive, but it doesn't matter. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your legs quickly. In the future, I still have to rely on you to help me!”
However, the mushroom soup is also very delicious. Su Ping'an feels that Tang Xiaoman's cooking is getting more and more delicious. It seems to be different from the meals he usually eats, but it is very smooth.
He doesn't know yet? He even had a stomach similar to that of modern people.
After the two of them were full, they started to process the oranges. The washed oranges were put together and boiled in a pot. Of course, Tang Xiaoman's secret sour juice was used for seasoning. This was the most critical part.
After all, the marmalade made by other companies is because this link is missing. The marmalade always feels sour, the taste has no layering, and there is a bland taste in the mouth.
Su Pingan looked at Tang Xiaoman with admiration, "You are so awesome!"
Tang Xiaoman raised his head proudly and said, "That's necessary!"
The two of them ended the day's work happily and happily. Now every night, Tang Xiaoman has another job, which is to help Su Ping'an massage his legs.
In fact, in recent days, Su Pingan felt that his legs had gained a little strength, and he could barely stand up by holding on to the wall.
Every day before going to bed, Tang Xiaoman prayed in his heart that Su Pingan's legs would heal quickly. He believed that a Bodhisattva would come to help and bless him. Tang Xiaoman felt that Su Pingan was such a good person and would definitely not sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
The next day, Tang Xiaoman packed all the marmalade she had made overnight. There were twenty cans in total. She hired a bullock cart and took the cans with her to town.
Boss Zhang couldn't wait for her at the door as scheduled.
Seeing that Tang Xiaoman arrived as promised, he was relieved. He didn't even inspect the goods, so he quickly asked the guys to carry the marmalade in.
When Boss Zhang wanted to make an agreement with Tang Xiaoman to provide them with a certain number of bottles of marmalade at a fixed time every month, Tang Xiaoman refused.
The reason is that Tang Xiaoman cannot do so much by herself. After all, she has no fruit trees at home. To pick these wild fruits, they need to climb the mountain.
Tang Xiaoman took the settled silver balance and originally wanted to buy pork bones at the market. Suddenly she thought of the grocery store she went to before and wondered how the boss's business was doing now.
As a result, as soon as I arrived at the door of the grocery store, I saw the store owner wiping sweat there.
