After working like this for more than half a month, all the preserved fruits were ready. Chen Xi, who tasted the preserved fruits he participated in making for the first time, almost jumped up. "Well, it's delicious. It's much better than the ones you buy. Tang Xin, you can become a master chef. After you graduate, you can definitely work as a master chef in a food factory. It will definitely be your first job." Chen Xi gave a thumbs up. boasted.

"How can it be that exaggerated? It's because you participated in the production and enjoyed the fruits of your own labor, so you think it tastes better." Tang Xin couldn't help but take a piece when she saw how delicious it was. Well, it is indeed delicious and soft. Glutinous and sweet.

"Is it delicious? Is it delicious? That's what I'm saying." Chen Xi looked at Tang Xin's expression and said, she said it was delicious, but she still didn't believe it.

"I'll give it to Auntie and Sister Zheng to try." Chen Xi walked towards the main room carrying the plate and asked Auntie and Sister Zheng to taste it too. After getting along with each other these days, Chen Xi has become very familiar with the Tang family. He almost regards the Tang family as his own home. Occasionally, if the weather is bad, he will stay overnight at the Tang family.

Looking at the little girl walking towards the room carrying the plate, Tang Xin smiled and shook her head and continued to pack the preserved fruits.

After a while, Sister Zheng came out of the house and helped Tang Xin put away the preserved fruits. "I tasted preserved fruit just now. Miss Chen Xi is not exaggerating. Even the old lady thought it was delicious. I also think it tastes better than the ones bought outside. The young lady is really amazing. She made preserved fruit so successfully for the first time." Sister Zheng was standing by. Praise.

Well, Tang Xin also felt that she was pretty good. In the era before ovens, she could make such delicious preserved fruits just by drying them in the sun.

Soon my aunt and Chen Xi also came out. There was strength in numbers, and after a while, all the preserved fruits were put away. Tang Xin followed the original arrangement and packed it separately for each house.

When Chen Xi went back, she happened to let her brother take the preserved fruits distributed to her family, which was two big bags. It's so heavy that Chen Xi wants to laugh just looking at it. It's delicious, haha.

Because he had long known that this preserved fruit belonged to his family, Chen Xi's brother did not refuse too much. After taking the preserved fruit, Chen Xi's brother solemnly thanked Tang's mother. Went home with my sister.

When Chen Xi was sent to school the next day, Chen Xi's mother specially gave a large jar of honey from the Tang family. She said it was local honey that her brother brought from the mountains. It was for food, so Tang's mother accepted it without being polite. , but Chen Xi’s mother was very happy. In this way, the two families get closer and closer as you come and go.

At the end of September, on a weekend day, Tang's mother returned to her parents' home with her husband and children. This time, her aunt did not go with her. Anyway, she had to go there during the National Day two days later, so she wouldn't go there this time.

Tang Xin specially brought the preserved fruit as a gift to her grandma's house. The yield of the preserved fruit she made this time was higher than she expected. That day, Tang's father went to the scale to weigh it and made a total of more than 16 kilograms of preserved fruit. They didn't weigh the fruit. Dad Tang said that the fruit sent by Chen Xi's mother must be much more than kilograms. After deducting the quantity originally planned to be given to everyone, Tang Xin's family still had more than four kilograms of dried fruits left.

When they arrived at grandma's house, Tang Xin and her brother ran straight into the house and hugged grandma. Grandma was shocked and laughed at these two naughty little guys.

Tang's mother and Tang's father followed behind and saw Mrs. Chen packing her uncle's luggage. In the past nearly a year, his uncle had spent most of his time in Beijing and occasionally returned to Haishi to handle matters. Now Shengshi Fanghua's production management is on track, not to mention sales. There was still a secretary and deputy director managing the factory, so my uncle decided to go back to Haishi and stay for a while. After all, there are still a lot of things in Haishi that he needs to deal with personally.

"Brother, have you set a time to go back?" Tang Ma asked.

"Just these few days, right? There are still some things that need to be dealt with in the factory. Your brother will tell you when the specific time is decided." Old Mrs. Chen replied.

"Well, that's okay. I must go to my house before my brother leaves. I have some things for my sister-in-law and ask him to help carry them." Tang Ma was relieved.

"Yes, I understand." Old Mrs. Chen agreed.

"Grandma, what do you think I brought you?" Tang Xin said after watching the adults finish speaking.

"Oh? What did my dear daughter bring to grandma?" Mrs. Chen asked cooperatively.

"My sister made the preserved fruit herself. It's very delicious." The elder brother couldn't help it and said to show off. The preserved fruit made by his sister was delicious. He took the school to distribute some to his close classmates. They all envied him for having such a capable sister.

"Really? Then grandma should have a good taste." Mrs. Chen said with interest.

Father Tang quickly handed over the two oil paper bags he had been holding in his hands. "Mom, let me try it for you. Your granddaughter made it herself. It tastes very good."

"I was also wondering why you kept holding it and not putting it down after entering the house. It turns out that our daughter made the preserved fruit." Old Mrs. Chen took it and opened it.

"This one is from apple, that one is from peach. Grandma, try it and see which one you think is better? This apple one has no sugar and has a more natural taste. I added sugar to the peach one. There are two ways to do it. You can eat it Whichever one is delicious, I will make it in two days." Tang Xin introduced.

"Okay." Old Mrs. Chen agreed happily, took a piece of preserved apple and tasted it. Well, it was soft and delicious. After one bite, the sweetness of the apple immediately filled her mouth. The key is that it is not hard at all and fits her teeth. "Well, it tastes really good. Our sugar babies are so awesome."

"Sister-in-law Gu, sister-in-law Gu, come here and have a try. Where are Gu Tang and Gu Yu?" The elder brother called to Aunt Gu and her two grandsons and granddaughters.

"They went to the vegetable market with their mother and will be back soon." Mrs. Gu walked out of the kitchen after hearing this, still holding a tray in her hand. "This is the freshly made white fungus soup. You should try it quickly. The autumn in Beijing is too dry after so many years. My wife still can't adapt to it. Her throat always feels uncomfortable every autumn."

"Mom, why didn't you tell us? Is your throat discomfort serious? Otherwise, I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup. It's my fault for not taking enough care of you." After hearing this, Tang's mother quickly asked Mrs. Chen with concern. .

"It's nothing. It's nothing serious. My throat is always dry and I don't cough or anything. No one would know if I didn't tell you. Just drink more water to moisten your throat and it'll be fine. Sister-in-law Gu takes it seriously. I I didn’t take it seriously. Besides, if it’s really serious, your brother and your dad are both around, and they can’t take me to the hospital?” Old Mrs. Chen comforted Tang’s mother. It was true, but her throat was always dry. Don’t worry. It's nothing, it's just that Mrs. Gu takes her too seriously. She gets worried at the slightest sign of trouble. Hey, I can't blame her, I'm just a little helpless.

"That's good. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell us. Don't hold it in yourself. Sister-in-law Gu, too. If my mother feels uncomfortable, you must tell me." Mrs. Chen confirmed again and again. It was really okay. Tang Ma breathed a sigh of relief and then explained to Mrs. Gu.

"Miss, don't worry, I won't hide anything about the old lady's health from you. It was also my fault just now. I didn't explain it clearly and made you nervous." Aunt Gu was a little apologetic.

"No way, it's better for you to be like this. My mother always doesn't care, and my sister-in-law is not around, so I can't come back often. Thanks to you taking care of me, we can feel at ease." Tang Ma hugged Sister Gu. arm, said gratefully.

"Miss, look at what you said. You and the young master have things to do, and you have your own home to take care of. I just take care of my wife. This is what I should do." Aunt Gu patted Ma Tang's arm, Reassure her.

"Sister-in-law Gu, thank you for your hard work. Come and try the preserved fruit I made. It's so sweet." Tang Xin quickly took the preserved fruit she made and gave it to Sister-in-law Gu.

Sister-in-law Gu thanked Tang Xin after taking it, then tasted it and also praised it.

"Madam, please drink the soup first. Don't stop drinking. This young lady and the others are watching." Aunt Gu took the time to watch Mrs. Chen drink the soup.

"I always drink soup. I feel like I drink a lot of water every day, and I can't even eat." Old Mrs. Chen complained.

"Then why don't you give grandma some Qiuli ointment?" Tang Xin asked. It's easy to just drink it as water.

"The taste of Qiuli ointment is not as good as Tremella fuciformis soup. The smell of Chinese medicine is too strong, and your grandma doesn't like to drink it." Aunt Gu replied that she had tried to find a way to save her wife's throat, but the Qiuli ointment sold in the drug store did not taste very good. good.

Sister-in-law Gu's words triggered another thought in Tang Xin's mind. She was originally planning to make pear preserves in the next few days. Maybe she could try making some autumn pear ointment to moisturize her grandma's throat. It would be better if she could put some loquat or lily in it. , if you make it yourself, you don’t need to put so many Chinese medicines. Anyway, it’s not for curing diseases, it’s just for daily maintenance. I have to ask my father to find time to go to the Chinese medicine store to ask.

Tang Xin secretly planned to look up how to make Qiuli ointment when she went back. She remembered that there were descriptions of this in her aunt's books, but she didn't pay attention to it at the time, so she didn't read it carefully. She would find it out and study it carefully when she got home. one time.
