Chapter 415 Canned Cherry
Speaking of cherries, although they are not easy to preserve and transport, they couldn't bear that so many people liked to eat them, so canned cherries were created.
Although there are some differences in taste, they are all delicious.
Everyone was carrying a basket of cherries home. They met villagers on the road. Looking at the small red fruit, many people were curious and asked what it was.Hearing that it was fruit, someone asked if they could buy some and take them home for their children to try.
The price of these cherries has not yet been determined, and Luo Shi has not agreed to it. He only said that these cherries will bear fruit in the first year. The family has not yet discussed the price and will inform everyone when it is determined.
Many people were worried that it would be very expensive and they would not be able to afford it by then. Luo Shi was now more open-minded and said, "They are all from the same village. It will definitely be cheaper for you than outside. Just wait."
With Luo Shi's words, many people felt relieved. If Luo Shi said he wouldn't cheat them, he would definitely not cheat them.
After returning home, Wen Yao left some for Datou and the others, then took the rest and took Luo Shi into the kitchen.
Although it is not difficult to make canned cherries, the key is to control the rock sugar and steaming time well, otherwise the canned food will not be delicious.
Fortunately, Wen Yao is very good at cooking, because she loves to eat cherries. Every year when the cherries are on the market, she buys them home in baskets. When the cherries are about to be sold out, she can eat them at any time in the future. As for the cherries, she really didn't miss canning them. Once she's done, she puts them in the refrigerator and eats them whenever she wants.
While Wen Yao and the others were making canned cherries in the kitchen, Li Yi sat in the yard and ate the cherries that Luo Shi had washed for him. After all, he had found this fruit tree, and Luo Shi would not miss anyone else's.
Deshun has been serving in the palace, so he naturally knows this.
"Your Majesty, this tao seems to be different from the ones in our palace." Deshun looked at the plate on the table curiously and swallowed.
Li Yi is not a person who protects food. After all, there are so many on the mountain. What he is thinking at this moment is why the ones grown by the Wen family are different from those grown in their village. The taste is much better and the size is much larger. Is it because the geographical location is different?
"Try a few and try them. By the way, this one from the Wen family is called Yingying. Although it also contains peach, they changed the name to Yingying. Don't call it wrong in the future." Li Yidao.
Deshun's eyes lit up, and he immediately wiped his hands on his body, carefully took a few and put them in his hands, and then tasted them slowly.
"Your Majesty, it's really different from the ones in our house. It's much more delicious." Deshun said immediately after tasting one.
Deshun reluctantly finished the food in his hand and did not dare to take it anymore. He just said: "It's a pity that the princess and the prince can't eat it."
Li Yi glanced at him. Yes, this thing is difficult to transport. It is more likely to break under the bumps of a fast horse. I want to give it to my father and mother, but there is really no way.
Thinking of this, Li Yi looked towards the kitchen and saw that the kitchen was filled with mist. Wen Yao and Luo Shi were standing and waiting by the stove, seeming to be saying something.
Now we can only count on Wenyao to see how she can store and transport the cherries during the production period.
Soon Wen Yao and Luo Shi came out of the kitchen. Li Yi looked at them and greeted them: "Is it done?"
Wen Yao nodded: "Just wait until it cools down."
Luo Shi stayed with her for a long time without going to the workshop. At this time, he took off the apron from his waist and said, "You two can wait by yourself. I have to go to the workshop to have a look."
"Goodbye, grandma." Wen Yao waved.
Li Yi nodded: "Grandma Wen, walk slowly."
After waiting for two hours, Wen Yao estimated that it was almost cold, so she went to the kitchen and took out the canned cherries. The small clay pot was opened, and there were red cherries soaked in juice. It seemed that there was no change.
"Try it." Wen Yao handed Li Yi a spoon.
Deshun immediately ran to the kitchen and took out a small bowl, scooped the cherries from the can into the bowl, and then carefully placed it in front of Li Yi.
Li Yi scooped one and put it into his mouth. The taste of sweet water was first in his mouth. After swallowing the sweet water, it was cherries. Although the texture was not as crisp, tender and juicy as fresh ones, the taste of cherries was still there, and it was the same as fresh cherries. In comparison, it has a different flavor.
"Not bad." Li Yi nodded after tasting it, and added: "Those dignitaries in the capital like these delicate things the most, but now that cherries are in season, I'm afraid this can is not easy to sell."
Wen Yao smiled mysteriously: "Then I definitely shouldn't sell it now. Wouldn't I be stupid to sell it now?"
Li Yi raised his eyebrows, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled. There was a tacit understanding that didn't need to be said, they both understood it.
Only Deshun and Mingyue had no idea what they were flirting with and just wanted to taste canned cherries.
Li Yi put more into his small bowl and gave the rest to Deshun.
"You and Mingyue can eat."
Deshun's eyebrows lit up: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Even Mingyue bowed her knees happily and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two of them carried the rest and ran to the kitchen to find small bowls to share. While eating the cherries in the bowl, Li Yi asked Wen Yao: "I found that the cherries on the fruit mountain are longer than the cherries on my farm." They are much better, bigger and sweeter, but they are obviously the same fruit trees, why is that?"
Although Wen Yao didn't know anything about farming, but he had been with Wen Xiu Yi for so many years, he still had some influence on it, so he replied: "Actually, every place is different. The climate, geographical location, and even the temperature of the weather all have different effects on the growth of fruits. It has an impact. You see, although we had a bit of a freeze at the beginning of this year, the fruit trees were well protected by the villagers. After the cold winter passed, the weather has been very good. With more sunshine, the fruits will naturally grow. Sweeter.
Beijing is located in the north, and the climate itself is different from ours. Relatively speaking, winter is longer, which will definitely have an impact on fruit trees. However, each of these things has its own flavor. You can't say that the cherries grown in Beijing are not the same. It's delicious, and it's delicious, otherwise not so many people would like it. "
The corner of Li Yi's mouth twitched. They didn't like whether it tasted good or not, but they liked the price. Because every year his mother-in-law's peaches were on the market, they would sell them very expensively. The fruits sold by Princess Fu, even if she bought them back and left them there without eating them, That's also face.
But Li Yi didn't tell Wen Yao, he just waited until she had the opportunity to go to the capital in the future and let her try it for herself.
Wen Yao thought that Wen Xiuyi had been soaking in the fruit mountain for a while, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "There is another reason, maybe it is related to pollination, but I don't know much about this, I have to ask my dad, the part when the cherry tree blooms During the time, he took people to spend time with Uncle Zhao on Guoshan every day, and it seemed that he was doing this."
Li Yi thought thoughtfully. If there was really a way to make cherries taste better, then he would have to help his mother and concubine to ask for it even if he was shameless.
