Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space-Chapter 1981 - 1975: Tangy and Refreshing
An Hao saw the snacks at Qin Xueโs house and thought of her daughter. She didnโt need much, just a little to take home for her to nibble on. ๐ป๐๐๐ฆ๐ธ๐๐ท๐โด๐ฃ๐ฆ๐.๐ธโด๐ฎ
"Sure, thereโs really plenty of it here. Iโll pack some up for you before you leave." Qin Xue hadnโt finished eating the ones she made back at her momโs place, and this time around, she managed to make more. She couldnโt let the kids go without snacks, could she?
"Thank you, youโre the best." An Hao didnโt hesitate to pick up a dried plum and pop it into her mouth, but the next moment her face scrunched up from the sourness.
"Silly girl, thatโs for infusing in water to drink, it helps cool you down. Eating it like that will make your teeth sour." Of course, Qin Xue saw An Haoโs expression. Just watching her eat made Qin Xue swallow her own salivaโit looked so sour. Watching An Hao eat made her want to try it too.
"Why didnโt you say so earlier?" An Hao looked at Qin Xue, who was stating the obvious after the fact. Really, she only explained its use after An Hao had already eaten it.
"How was I supposed to know youโd be so quick? Watching you savor that sourness makes me want to try it too. Put one in my mouth too." Qin Xue leaned in, asking An Hao to feed her, as both her hands were covered in flour and couldnโt hold things.
"Did you make these specifically for infusing in water?" After stuffing one into Qin Xueโs mouth, An Hao glanced at the dried plums in the glass jar.
"Yeah, I thought theyโd be good for making a cooling drink and also getting rid of the greasy feeling. Itโs great, and like now, when thereโs nothing to do, you can put one in your mouth and pass the time. Thatโs why I made a bit more. Do you want to take some home too?" Qin Xue asked An Hao, as she had a few jars of them. Taking one or two wouldnโt be a problem.
"Alright, give me a little of everything. Iโll try them all." An Hao thought Qin Xueโs preserved fruits were a bit different from the ones she had bought before, so she wanted to try the others to see if they were also different. If Qin Xueโs were tastier, she could just come to her to buy them in the future. She wouldnโt need to buy those expensive yet not-so-tasty ones from outside anymore.
"Of course, thatโs not a problem. Just take some of each kind I have at home. This way, you can tell me which ones you like, and Iโll make more next time." Qin Xue had quite a few fruit trees in her space, so she never ran out of fruit to make preserves.
It was really by chance that she got these. Some she found at the market; she bought them and planted the seeds in her space to grow. Then, when she went to Zhongzhai and saw rare fruit trees, sheโd also plant those seeds, gradually getting a variety of fruits to eat.
So if she wants to make preserved fruits in the future, thereโs no need to worry about running out of fruit. With plenty on hand, she was even thinking of juicing some. Just the thought of it made her mouth water. Sigh, better not think about it, or soon sheโd be drooling all over. Plus, too much sour stuff isnโt good; it could upset your stomach.
"Great, then I wonโt hold back. What are you making? Need any help?" An Hao looked at the flour on Qin Xueโs hands. Was she making buns?
"No need, Chu Molin is helping me. You just sit and enjoy some snacks, but donโt eat too much, okay? Weโll be eating soon, and you donโt want to ruin your appetite." Qin Xue reminded her and turned back to the kitchen to continue cooking.
"Chu Molin, can you give me a hand?" Qin Xue looked at the dough in front of her. She didnโt feel like kneading anymore. What else could she do but get the man present to help out? If you want delicious food, you must prepare the ingredients well.
"Alright, you go sit and rest; Iโll take care of it." Chu Molin glanced at Qin Xue, instantly knowing what she wanted him to do.
"That wonโt do, you knead the dough, and Iโll do the other tasks." Qin Xue felt a bit embarrassed to leave everything to him while she just sat around.
