Reborn Dad, I Got Rich From Selling Tea Eggs

Chapter 41 Boil Jam Together In The Middle Of The Night

Jiang Ci quickly took a piece of bacon and stuffed it into Lin Jue's mouth, blocking his mouth that always talks nonsense, lest he say some shocking sentences later!

"Come on, you! You can play tricks." Jiang Ci smiled coquettishly and said, "Be careful, the children will learn your bad habit of being a father, and they will be just as useless as you!"

Lin Jue was stuffed with bacon, he laughed a few times, and was reprimanded by his wife, but he felt even happier.

In the middle of the meal for the four of them, Lin Jue suddenly mentioned something to Jiang Ci.

"Honey, do you have any glass bottles at home?" Lin Jue asked.

Jiang Ci put down her chopsticks, thought for a few seconds, and replied, "There should be two or three, not many. Why are you asking this?"

"I picked a lot of fruit on the mountain today. I weighed it just now. One weighed 60 catties. I put some of it in the refrigerator and sold it tomorrow. About half of the fruit is left. I'm going to make jam! The glass bottle is missing."

Lin Jue was going to make some jam and sell it tomorrow, but he was also embarrassed because he couldn't find enough glass bottles at home.

Not only that, after making rice cracker candies last time, the white sugar is almost used up, so I have to go to the store to get some more.

"Why don't you go to the small shop in the village and ask the boss? I remember he sells bottles." Jiang Ci suggested.

"This is fine! Let's go over and ask after dinner!"

After dinner, Lin Jue took her wallet and went to the small shop in the village with Jiang Ci.

There is no supermarket in their village, and there are only a handful of shops. Only this small shop has been in business since 20 years ago. Until now, the products sold in the shop have become more and more abundant.

The owner's surname is Xu, and his name is Xu Fengshou. He is in his forties, a little younger than Lin Jue's father, and he calls him Uncle Xu.

Uncle Xu is a smart man, and his small shop does not only sell snacks. Whatever the villagers need and want to buy, he goes to the county town to buy.

There are everything from small candies and spicy sticks to large auntie towels, electric mosquito swatters, light bulbs, etc. Even if there are no products in the store, entrust Uncle Xu to order them for you in two or three days!

When we got there, the lights of the small shop were still on, and Uncle Xu was having dinner with his family inside. Lin Jue knocked on the wooden door outside, and he came out immediately.

"Oh, isn't this Xiaojue? Are you here to buy snacks for the children?" Uncle Xu greeted him with a smile, looking like a smart businessman.

Uncle Xu basically remembered all the shoppers in the village who came to him, and he naturally knew Lin Jue and Jiang Ci, a young couple.

"Good evening, Uncle Xu. Do you have any glass bottles in your store? I want to buy some." Lin Jue cut straight to the point.

Xu Fengshou dug out a large box from the messy boxes in the store, and showed him two glass bottles.

"Do you think this is okay? The goods just bought in the store are of good quality, airtight, heat-resistant and drop-resistant, and a bottle can hold half a catty of water!" Xu Fengshou introduced.

Lin Jue took a look at the bottle, the quality was indeed okay, the glass was quite thick, not that kind of fragile glass, the capacity of the bottle was about 250ml, not too much and not too little, just right.

"Okay. How much is this bottle?" Lin Jue asked.

"A bamao." Uncle Xu said.

"That's quite expensive." He laughed twice, "Uncle Xu, I bought all the glass bottles in this box, so you have to give me a little bit of a bargain, right?"

Xu Fengshou was taken aback, Lin Jue said that he wanted to buy a box of glass bottles, this kid was going to buy it to do something

What?

"Why are you making so many bottles all at once? Are you going to start a business?" Xu Fengshou also heard from the villagers that Lin Jue was selling tea eggs.

Although he couldn't guess what Lin Jue wanted to do, he must have a magical effect.

"Haha. Uncle Xu, you don't need to worry about it. Just tell me how much cheaper it is? If my things sell well, I will definitely come to you to buy more in the future!" Lin Jue is also telling the truth.

If Uncle Xu can get good and cheap products, he doesn't need to go to the county town to find other merchants to buy them.

Instead of giving the opportunity to make money to people outside, it is better to let the people in your own village profit.

Don't the fat and water flow into the fields of outsiders!

Xu Fengshou also understood what he said, Lin Jue is a smart guy, so he doesn't need to talk too much nonsense, just go straight to the point.

"Haha. How about it. I have a total of forty glass bottles in this box, and I'll count you sixty cents each, a total of twenty-four yuan!" He immediately gave Lin Jue a lot of money.

Lin Jue nodded. Uncle Xu was very sincere, and the price of 60 cents was quite suitable: "Yes! This is 24 yuan, you count. If there is no problem, I will move the box!"

"Hey, you are refreshing!" Xu Fengshou accepted the money happily.

He is also running a small business. If Lin Jue hadn't come to buy it tonight, his big box of glass bottles would probably take two to three months to sell out.

If he can reach a long-term cooperative relationship with Lin Jue, his small shop will make a lot of money!

"Haha. Uncle Xu, is there any sugar here? I'll buy some back too." Lin Jue asked immediately.

When Xu Fengshou heard the words, he stopped counting the money and pointed to a bag of white sugar in the store: "I only have these in the store. How much do you want, I will weigh it for you?"

Lin Jue saw that the white sugar he packed in a snakeskin bag was only about 40 catties, which is not much.

The thorn fruit used to make jam at home is about 30 catties. According to the ratio of sugar used in general jam making, three to one, then ten catties of white sugar should be added.

If the sugar is used less, the preservation time of the jam will be reduced, and it will not be able to store.

Therefore, it is best to buy more sugar and go back.

After the second wave of thorn fruit picking in the field, it will be useful again.

"Uncle Xu, how many catties does this bag of white sugar weigh? I want it all!" Lin Jue told Xu Fengshou.

Xu Fengshou thought he heard it wrong, and was stunned for a few seconds. His bag of candy can be sold for a month, but Lin Jue said that he wanted all of them as soon as he came up. This is a big deal!

"Haha, good! If you want more, Uncle Xu will give you a cheaper price, one yuan per catty, how about it? I usually sell it for one yuan and thirty cents!"

Xu Fengshou wanted to move the bag of white sugar to the platform scale for weighing, but the bag of sugar was still very heavy, and it was a bit difficult for him to move it. Lin Jue hurried over to help, and lifted the bag easily.

Uncle Xu put some weights, looked at the numbers, and said, "Forty-six catties, a total of forty-six yuan! Uncle Xu will seal the bag for you!"

Lin Jue gave the money readily, and Uncle Xu couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

With so many goods sold in one night, the money is pouring in.

Lin Jue held the sugar in her left hand and the glass bottle box in her right hand. She walked swiftly and quickly returned home.

After putting the things down, he said to Jiang Ci: "Honey, you boil some hot water first, and soak these glass bottles in hot water to sterilize them! I'll go to the kitchen to make jam."

"Okay!" Jiang Ci listened to him

Tell me to wash the glass bottles.

Lin Jue carried the white sugar into the kitchen, weighed ten catties of white sugar with the newly bought electronic scale in the county, poured it into a large iron pot with the thorn fruit, stirred it evenly, and then lit the fire to start cooking!

This process is quite boring. It needs to be stirred repeatedly with a shovel to prevent the jam from sticking to the pan and burning. Once it burns, the pot of jam will be ruined!

On a hot day, standing by the stove was steaming, and there was no electric fan in the kitchen, so he was sweating profusely.

At this time, a cool wind suddenly came from the side, which relieved his scorching heat all at once.

Lin Jue turned her head suspiciously, and saw Jiang Ci fanning him with a cattail fan, but she herself was so hot that her bangs were sticky!

He couldn't help laughing, smiled twice and said, "Honey, you don't have to fan me here, go back and rest by yourself."

Jiang Ci's temper is also stubborn, Lin Jue told her to go, but she just didn't want to go, and she was still in the wind.

"I think you're hot, so I'll give you a fan. It's okay! If you feel tired, the two of us can take turns!" Jiang Ci has her own ideas.

She saw that Lin Jue was working hard, and she couldn't be lazy by herself, so she wanted to do something for him.

Lin Jue can't move his wife, but he can't bear to see her being a "tool man" by the side to fan the fan.

He simply asked Jiang Ci to come over and help stir the jam, and he went to the living room to bring the electric fan and plug it into the socket in the kitchen.

As soon as the switch is turned on, the whole space instantly cools down!

"It's so comfortable now, haha! Sure enough, buying an electric fan is the right decision!" Lin Jue continued to stir the jam with a spatula.

Jiang Ci added firewood for him at the side. The jam needs to be boiled for an hour or two to evaporate the moisture inside and reach an extremely viscous state.

If there is too much water, the jam made will not be resistant to storage.

An hour and a half later, the 30 catties of fruit, condensed into a jam, is only about half of the original volume.

Jiang Ci carried the sterilized glass bottle over, and the two hurriedly started to bottle the jam.

In the end, thirty-six bottles were packed, which is still quite a lot.

Looking at the bright purple-red jam in the glass bottle, Lin Jue was full of a sense of accomplishment, after working hard all night, it was not in vain.

There was still some jam stuck in the big iron pan, Lin Jue scraped some with a spatula, put it to his wife's mouth, and said, "Honey, there's a lot left on it, it's too wasteful to wash it off. Lick it for you?"

Jiang Ci was so choked by his words that she almost swallowed her saliva, and Lin Jue was too careless, she just let this woman lick her with a spatula!

Really...she is not a puppy, why lick it?

But looking at the crystal clearness of this jam, it smells an attractive fruity aroma. She has been smelling it for a long time, and she has long wanted to taste the flavor of this jam.

"I'll try to scrape some with a spoon." Jiang Ci cleverly took a small spoon, and scraped a large spoonful of jam from the spatula.

She licked it with the tip of her tongue, it was really sweet to her heart, sweet and sweet, the aroma of the thorn fruit was concentrated, after taking a sip, she felt refreshed, and her sleepy spirit instantly woke up .

"It's so sweet! This jam is much tastier than the ones you made with wild fruits last time!" Jiang Ci couldn't help but admire.

Lin Jue took a large spatula and licked it directly, and then nodded with satisfaction: "It's really good. It seems that the taste of jam made from good fruits is different!"
