Chapter 1142: Baking It?

“He gets tired from playing with Xue Yan and Jiang Yue during the day, that’s

why he’s sleeping so soundly at night. If Yu Hongyan or Mother were to take care of him, he would more or less be restrained by where he can walk to. Naturally, he wouldn’t be tired from playing during the day, so he’ll have the energy to play at night.”

They chatted for a while more before entering the house.

“Are the strawberries ripe yet?” Xue Sifu asked his two children.

“Some of the strawberries planted last year have already ripened,” Jiang Yue said. “The others will only ripen in a few days.”

“Let’s go and take a look at it later.” Xue Sifu laughed.

“Sure.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both agreed.

After lunch, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan took advantage of the break time to bring Sifu to the field on the mountain to see strawberries.

Sifu even took a basket and picked some strawberries to eat.

In fact, they had already picked some strawberries to eat at home, but his family had already finished them.

Including the one acre of strawberries planted last year, there were a total of six acres of strawberries at home now. However, because the seedlings planted last year were considered old this year, the strawberries bore fruit and ripened earlier.

Their elder brother came along as well. He brought a basket, but it was not for the strawberries. Instead, he planned to bring back some corn. The white corn, purple corn, black corn, and yellow corn were neither old nor tender. They would taste just right once they were brought back and steamed.

If it was just Sifu, Xue Yan wouldn’t need to hold Jiang Yue’s hand. After all, Sifu knew that she wasn’t the original Jiang Yue and had changed.

However, since Yifu came with them, Xue Yan had to hold on to Jiang Yue’s hand. As usual, they walked alongside each other merrily.

Pa.s.sing by the green plum field, Xue Yifu could not help but swallow his saliva when he saw the ripened fruits on the tree. He smiled foolishly and said, “This thing is definitely sour. Should I pluck it?”

There were 15 acres of green plum trees at home. When Jiang Yue plucked the seedlings from the s.p.a.ce, they were all seedlings that could bear fruit. The seedlings looked big, but they were not meaty. Otherwise, it would not have been easy to transport them from the big house in town to Locust Village by carriage. It had only been a few months, and they were not that big. The green plum trees did not grow particularly big, so each tree could not bear that many fruits. There were only 10 to 20 green plum fruits on each tree. Some of them only had a few green plum fruits on them, but they had planted 15 acres. After they ripen, they can harvest a lot of green plum fruits.

Moreover, the dark plum was the unripe fruit of this plum tree, which was also the green plum. It was placed in the roasting bed and after roasting, it

would turn black.

“It’s time to pluck the black plum,” Jiang Yue said. “If the fruit ripens, it won’t be able to be made. Let’s pluck all these green plums before Sanfu gets married. We don’t have a brick bed. We don’t know where to make a brick bed, but there’s a shop in town that specializes in making dark plums from green plums. They have several large brick beds near the town. We can give them the money to process it and use their brick beds. Both of us will benefit from it, so this will save us a lot of effort.”

As for whether they should build a few large baking stoves at home, she had talked to Xue Yan about it before. If their family really spent a lot of effort to build a large baking stove, they could bake green plums into dark plums without even sending them anywhere. It was convenient, but it was too trivial. They had to hire people to look after the baking stove, add charcoal to the baking stove, and also instruct people to teach them how to bake dark plums. There were already a lot of things to do at home, so she and Xue Yan agreed that it was better to pay someone to do it instead.

Not only would it save energy, but it would also save him a lot of trouble..
