Sheng Guoer asked her younger brother Sheng Shi to go to the mountain to pick mushrooms with her, carrying two large bamboo baskets made by herself.
The two siblings walked hand in hand towards the mountain. Sheng Shi protected her sister all the way. Looking at the young man, Sheng Guoer felt a sense of warmth in her heart.
When Sheng Shi saw this large area of red mushroom girls, his jaw almost hit the ground in shock.
"Sister, how did you find such a large area of red mushrooms?" Sheng Shi said, looking at her sister in disbelief.
Sheng Guoer didn't say anything, just smiled and motioned to her brother to quickly pick these mushrooms back.
Sheng Shi worked quickly and diligently, even harder than Sheng Guo'er. In a short time, she picked two large baskets of mushrooms, and she only swept a small half of the area.
The siblings were a little tired from working. Seeing that her sister was thirsty, Sheng Shi thoughtfully went to Laojun Spring next to Yuelong Stream to fetch some water. After the siblings drank the clear and sweet mountain spring water, Sheng Guoer said : "Brother, we have picked enough today. We will come back tomorrow when we have sold out. Now go cut down some wild sugar cane."
Sheng Shi beat his legs and complained: "Sister, I'm almost exhausted."
Sheng Guoer put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows: "Are you going?"
After such a bloodline suppression, Sheng Shi had no choice but to stand up obediently and go chop the sugar cane.
After returning home, Mrs. Shen was stunned when she saw so many red mushroom ladies, and hurriedly asked: "Guo'er, where did you get so many mushroom ladies?"
Sheng Shi excitedly told his mother what had happened. Shen held the mushrooms and said happily: "Okay, okay, this way we can make more money."
At this moment, Mrs. Shen looked at Sheng Guoer with a smile, feeling that after her daughter recovered from the illness, not only was she no longer stupid, but she also looked like a little lucky star.
Sheng Guoer said: "Mom, we can also make some jams to sell together, so the effect will be better."
"Jam?" Mrs. Shen was stunned when he heard this: "What kind of jam?"
Sheng Guo'er thought to herself that I couldn't stand the mushy wild vegetables for breakfast, so I should at least have steamed buns dipped in jam. After selling the mushrooms and getting some money, she could give her breakfast a big overhaul. Besides, she could make some money with the jam. .
Sheng Guoer now feels that making money is more satisfying than anything else.
"Jam is a kind of delicacy. It is delicious when used to dip steamed buns or sandwich pancakes." When she said this, Sheng Guoer also wanted to make some biscuits. It seemed that this was another plan.
But tall buildings rise from the ground. Sheng Guoer said: "Mom, let's clean up the fruits together later."
Mrs. Shen nodded with a smile. When Sheng Guoer said this, she glanced at her and said angrily: "Stop eating secretly! If you two eat secretly again, I'll beat you up!"
Sheng Shi and Xiao Tao stood up quickly and stood at the wall with their heads lowered in fear, not daring to speak. There was still a little pulp on the corner of Xiao Tao's mouth, and Sheng Shi secretly wiped it off with his sister.
Sheng Guoer looked at these two pitiful little ones and laughed angrily, saying, "Okay, stop pretending to be pitiful and come here to help!"
The brother and sister Sheng Shi smiled immediately after hearing this. It was like the eldest sister had a clear day and the dark clouds dispersed.
Xiao Tao jumped up and ran over to play coquettishly with Sheng Guoer: "Good sister, good sister, Xiao Tao will be a good boy from now on!"
Next, the family peeled the sugar cane, washed it with water, cut it into small pieces, and chopped it into pieces. Then they squeezed out the juice from the sugar cane pieces, enough to fill a small basin.
After that, Sheng Guoer heated the pot, put in the juice and boiled it. After the bubbles appeared, she boiled it clockwise for a while. When the juice was completely thick, Guoer added a little honey, and then added the sticky juice. The liquid is poured into the bowl, and after cooling, it forms sugar cubes.
"Sister, why are the candy bars you made so good-looking?" Looking at the yellow candy bars, Xiao Tao tasted them and made a satisfied sound: "Well, they are even more delicious than those made by the candy man Zhang!"
On Xiao Tao's birthday when she was four years old, her father Sheng Shude bought her the cane sugar made by Tang Ren Zhang. The taste made Xiao Tao remember it until now. Now she didn't expect that the candy made by her sister was even more delicious than Tang Ren Zhang.
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Is it true? If that's the case, we can really make more and sell them."
There was still some sugar juice left in the pot. Sheng Guoer asked his brother to use a garlic pestle. He picked out about half a catty of mushrooms and mashed them in a crock pot. Then he added sucrose and some water and started the crock pot on fire. After a while, waves of hot air spread out with aroma. Shen hurriedly opened the earthen jar with a rag, filled the fruit and stirred it with a spoon, then removed the heat and put the earthen jar aside to cool. After a while, a jar of jam is ready.
Sheng Guoer took a piece of black flour bun and baked it in the embers for a while, then took it out, shook off the dust, broke it into several pieces, spread it with secret jam and handed it to Niang, Xiaotao and Shengshi.
"Wow, it's delicious!" Xiao Tao started dancing, as happy as celebrating the New Year. Shen, with a face of surprise, said happily: "Guo'er is really capable, how did you learn to do this? Even though my mother can do it, Sauce, but the usual method is just to mash the fruit and marinate it with sugar, but this is the first time I’ve seen this method!”
Sheng Guoer thought to herself that since it was so delicious, she might as well trade the mushrooms and matsutake for some capital and open a breakfast stall.
