Lin Ranran strolled in the forest, picking up persimmons and walking under the red tree, and occasionally picked a beautiful beef heart persimmon and broke it in his hand. The core inside was as soft and sweet as honey, with little water, and he finished eating Not dirty hands at all.
Where Lin Ranran passed by, most of the persimmons on the trees were lost. If you look carefully, only the ones that have been bitten by birds or the green color remain on the tree.
The persimmon grove was too big. Lin Ranran's legs were sore and he didn't finish half of the walk. There were probably thousands of catties of persimmons piled up in the space, so he turned around.
Guo Lu's family picked the persimmons and shipped them back, leaving Guo Lu's youngest daughter Tian Shi to wait for Lin Ranran.
Lin Ranran walked over with a smile, patted Tianshi's head, and said, "Where's your sister and brother?"
"They help parents push the cart back." Tianshi said obediently.
Lin Ranran handed her a piece of chicken cake: "Are you hungry? Take it and eat."
Sweet Persimmon gulped down his saliva, took it without being too polite, and started to eat it.
Tian Shi is the second daughter. There is an older sister and a younger brother. The second daughter in the middle is always ignored by her parents. Although Guo Lu and his wife love their children very much, it is not her turn to eat delicious food at home. She is eight years old and looks like a five or six-year-old child.
Lin Ranran looked pitiful, and always secretly gave sweet persimmon something to eat, and now sweet persimmon was sticking tightly to Lin Ranran. After eating the chicken cake, Tian Persimmon held Lin Ranran's hand and pointed her to several unowned persimmon forests along the way. He also said that there are small and fragrant wild persimmons in the mountains, and he will take her there tomorrow.
Lin Ranran just asked her to inquire about the news secretly, but she didn't expect her to be so capable and figured out the location.
Lin Ranran stroked her sparse braid encouragingly, and said with a smile, "Sweet persimmon is amazing, I remember it so clearly."
Tianshi raised her head and said, "Sister, if you have any errands to do in the future, leave them to me, and I'll help you."
Lin Ranran was amused by her: "You are so young, what can you do?"
Sweet persimmon looked serious: "I also want to make money. I am eight years old. My elder sister will go to school in the morning, and my younger brother will also go to school next year. The family does not have enough money, so I will definitely not let me go to school. Don't worry, I have a very good tongue." Tight."
Lin Ranran thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely find you if there is work, let's go home first."
A small Fuping hanging persimmon must go through 12 processes, such as picking, folding hooks, peeling, hanging, pinching the heart, removing the shelf, watering, combining cakes, and moist frosting. The hard work is self-evident. .
According to Lin Ranran's strict conditions, Guo Lu's persimmon garden can only produce one thousand catties of qualified persimmons. Fortunately, Li Mei was quick-witted, bought fresh persimmons with many villagers, and recruited all relatives and friends from the countryside, and paid them to work overtime to help process the persimmons.
The persimmons picked from the orchard must be trimmed first. The trimmed persimmons are washed in well water, and then peeled by skilled female workers into clean persimmons. Under Lin Ranran's request, every female worker had to wash her hands with soap before touching the persimmons, and she had to wrap her hair well to prevent it from falling on the persimmons.
In Fuping County, peeling persimmons is a basic skill for old ladies aged 70 and girls aged 6 or 7. A small knife can be turned quickly in the hand, and a hundred catties of persimmons can be cut out in one afternoon.
A female worker tied the peeled persimmons with a thin hemp rope. The T-shaped twigs left on the persimmons came in handy at this time. They were tied tightly with a rope, and twenty persimmons were tied into a hanging.
There was still a big pot burning in the big yard, and the water in it was gurgling and boiling. The female worker dipped a hanging persimmon into boiling water to scald it, then fished it out and hung it on a shelf.
This step of boiling water disinfection was proposed by Lin Ranran. Later generations will go through disinfection steps when making dried persimmons. There are no more than two disinfection methods: boiling water disinfection and alcohol disinfection.
Spraying the surface of persimmons with white wine can also be disinfected. Unfortunately, the cost is too high in this era, and the best way is to disinfect with boiling water.
Guo Lu was very puzzled by this method at first: his family has been making persimmons for generations, and they don¡¯t need boiling water to sterilize them. Are persimmons not the same? With this extra step, who knows if the persimmon will spoil the taste?
Lin Ranran insisted: "This step cannot be missed. The journey to the south is long and the climate is humid. If it is not sterilized, the dried persimmons may go bad on the way."
Guo Lu said: "Then according to your method, you can't blame me if the dried persimmon tastes bad."
Lin Ranran said with a smile: "You can do it with confidence. I won't refuse to make any taste."
Guo Lu had no choice but to comply with the lawsuit.
When the rainy day came, Guo Lu realized how important Lin Ranran's "doing nothing" was.
 ??, there are crisp persimmons and soft persimmons. At the same time, Lin Ranran also worked out a new menu, and the brewery was still working in full swing.
On the other hand, the continuous drizzle for several days almost brought disaster to the persimmon farmers. Although they hurriedly moved the persimmons inside the house long before it rained, and the experienced ones even lit a fire to roast the persimmons, black spots inevitably appeared on the persimmons, and the flavor was greatly reduced.
However, the persimmons from Guo Lu's family did not have the same situation. The color was still orange-red and clear, and there were no peculiar smells or spots on the skin. As soon as it was hung out, it immediately formed a sharp contrast with other persimmons.
Neighbors saw it and asked Guo Lu one after another, "Why are your persimmons okay?"
Guo Lu smiled dryly: "I collected it in time, and it didn't rain."
Turning her back, she muttered to Li Mei and his wife: "What's going on? Could it be because of the boiling water?"
Li Mei twisted her husband: "From now on, you can do whatever Miss Lin says, you'll be right!" She had already said that this Lin Ranran is their family's God of Wealth, please pay her respects!
On this day, Lin Ranran finally left the winery and went to the county seat.
Lin Ranran came to the county supply and marketing cooperative, took out the sugar tickets, weighed several catties of common fruit candies and toffees, and picked out seven or eight hairpins, which were given to the girls. As a qualified boss, Lin Ranran has always been generous with benefits.
Lin Ranran claimed that it was just a few catties of candy. The salesperson saw that she was generous with the price, and said: "We have new hanging persimmons, the first batch this year. Our persimmon factory in the county town, do you want two catties?"
"Didn't the dried persimmons take half a month to dry? So early?" Lin Ranran asked curiously.
The salesman said: "There is someone else's method. How about it, do you want a catty?"
Lin Ranran thought for a while, and suddenly a rough voice came from behind: "Give me a catty!"
A man pushed Lin Ranran away directly, his actions were very rude. Lin Ranran didn't pay attention, and the whole bag of sugar was scattered on the ground.
Lin Ranran said angrily, "Comrade, how do you push people?"
"Did I push you? You didn't hold it properly." The man was thick and fleshy, and he looked back at Lin Ranran with a bad expression.
Lin Ranran held her breath for a while. This man looked scary, and told Lin Ranran directly that he was very hostile to him.
The salesman didn't dare to say anything, and sold him a catty of persimmons. The man took it and walked away swaggeringly, and even trampled a piece of Lin Ranran's candy.
Lin Ranran gritted her teeth in hatred.
After Lin Ranran picked up the candy, the salesman took a new newspaper and rewrapped it for Lin Ranran, saying, "Don't talk to him. This is from the Korean ethnic group. They come here to collect persimmons every year. They have a bad temper."
"Really?" Lin Ranran rolled his eyes, and smiled at the salesperson, "Give me a catty of persimmons, and five catties of sugar for me."
The salesperson said happily: "Okay!"
The salesperson weighed the sugar, spread out five sheets of kraft paper, poured the sugar evenly into five parts, and wrapped them one by one.
Lin Ranran took the opportunity to ask: "You said they come to harvest persimmons every year?"
The salesman opened his mouth: "Yes. The Koreans in the Northeast love to eat persimmons. This person's surname is Jin, and he comes to collect them every year. I have known him for a long time. But this year, for some reason, the price of persimmons has suddenly been lowered." He carried it up, and it was raining, so he was upset. But I don¡¯t know why it¡¯s against you, did you offend him?¡±
Lin Ranran: "" Didn't he offend him? It was a serious offense. Did she just want to collect the dried persimmons, but inadvertently raised the price of the dried persimmons?
All the persimmon collectors in the city live in the guest house. Everyone knows everyone when they look down. What Lin Ranran does in private can't be hidden from anyone.
But they are all bad guys, we are grasshoppers on the same rope, and no one dares to make things big. Like the North Korean man just now, he had no choice but to push Lin Ranran down to vent his anger.
Lin Ranran had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky. She returned with a load of things in her arms, and walked into the restaurant smelling the smell of hot pepper soup. This hot and spicy soup tastes so right, and it can also warm up the body and drive away the cold. Lin Ranran has to drink a bowl every day to feel comfortable.
When a bowl of Hu spicy soup was served, Lin Ranran took a sip happily and before she had time to drink, a few North Korean men walked in at the door, drinking and drinking
