After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Bai Qingyun stood under the pear tree, picked the pear closest to him, wiped it on his sleeve, took a bite, and the pear juice filled the corners of his mouth and the sweet smell filled his nose.

The food makes people squint their eyes with joy!

"This pear tree has been there for many years. In the past, the pears that could not be eaten were given away. If my youngest son likes them, I will leave more at home this year so that he can eat as much as he wants!" Grandma Bai hadn't known when she stood behind him. She looked at Bai Qingyun's happy expression as he ate the pears and spoke with a smile.

Bai Qingyun finished eating the pear in his mouth and then spoke: "Are all these pears going to be given away?"

"Yes, these pears ripen in a short time, and we can't eat all of them at home. If we leave them on the tree, they will go bad. It's better to give them away. But now many families have pear trees at home, so we can't give away many now."

"Then why don't you take it to town and sell it?"

"If we take them to town to sell, the pears are only ripe, and even if we do sell them, they are sold at a low price. It's very tiring to carry them to town, and we don't make much money."

Bai Qingyun nodded in agreement and thought for a moment, what if he wanted to make something else?

Just do it!

Father Bai was busy feeding the cows in the backyard when Bai Qingyun pulled him to pick pears. However, he was too small and could only reach the pears on the low branches.

When the three people in the kitchen finished their work and came out, they saw the picked pears neatly arranged in the bamboo basket on the ground.

"Grandma, Mom, Sister Shu'er, you've come just in time. Wash these pears and soak them in water. We're going to make autumn pear paste today!"

Grandma Bai was the first to react. Her granddaughter had a new toy and she had to hurry up and learn it.

Bai's mother and Xie Shuer followed closely behind.

With the help of the whole family, the first batch of ripe pears were processed quickly.

"Grandma, do you still have the ginger we dug from the mountain?"

"Yes, every time I deliver fish, Shopkeeper Xu will ask your grandfather to buy some for cooking, so I went to the mountain to dig up a lot more. What is this time... Does the autumn pear paste also need yellow lumps?"

"Yes, but grandma, it's called ginger, not yellow lump." Bai Qingyun nodded helplessly.

Grandma Bai brought a large bowl of ginger from the kitchen and said, "I know it's called ginger, but we're used to calling it yellow pimples. It's hard to change it in a short time!"

"Okay! Grandma, peel and slice the ginger!"

After giving the instructions, he went to the kitchen to collect the remaining ingredients. Fortunately, since the family's conditions have improved, Grandma Bai loves to cook, and Bai Qingyun would teach Grandma Bai to make some medicinal food from time to time, so some common ingredients were in stock at home.

It was not long after summer and the weather was still relatively warm. The processed pears were almost ready after soaking for about an hour. If it was winter and the temperature was low, it would probably take longer to soak.

Bring the pears and water to a boil over high heat, then simmer for the first time, filter out the juice and set aside; add more water to the pot and boil for a second time, then boil over high heat then simmer, filter out the juice and set aside; add more water to the pot and boil for a third time, then boil over high heat then simmer, filter out the juice and set aside.

Combine the juices obtained from three decoctions, boil over high heat in an open pot, and you will get a large bowl of concentrated paste.

While the medicinal juice is being concentrated, mash the prepared Fritillaria cirrhosa, soak it in honey and water for an hour, then heat and boil it over medium-low heat, filter out the medicinal juice and set aside.

Pour the concentrated paste into the pot, add Fritillaria cirrhosa powder and filtered medicinal juice, and simmer over medium-low heat until it becomes thick.

Bottle it while hot; it will become more viscous after cooling and will be difficult to bottle.

Autumn pear paste has the effects of nourishing yin and promoting body fluid, relieving cough and reducing phlegm, clearing away heat and detoxifying. Taking a small spoonful with warm water every day can relieve respiratory discomfort caused by heat and dryness.

After spending several hours to prepare the autumn pear paste, Bai Qingyun couldn't wait to make it for everyone.

Grandpa Bai and Grandpa Xie, who were sober, each took a bowl and drank it up in one gulp. Grandpa Bai couldn't help but sigh: "My son, this is really good. I just felt a dry throat and some discomfort, but after drinking this, I immediately felt better!"

Grandpa Xie also nodded in agreement.

Grandma Bai remembered Bai Qingyun's previous question and asked, "Little one, are you going to sell this autumn pear paste after you make it?"

"Grandma, what do you think of using the remaining pears to make this? Not only that, we can also collect pears from other families in the village. This way, the villagers can have an extra source of income, and we can also have an extra livelihood!"

"Then listen to my youngest. It's not easy to make this autumn pear paste. A large pot of pears only made a few bottles. It's not only time-consuming but also wastes a lot of firewood."

The villagers get their firewood from dead branches picked up from the mountains or from felled trees. Due to the backwardness of current logging tools, firewood is not particularly easy to obtain.

Father Bai always supports his daughter's decisions: "I will go to the mountain to collect more firewood when I get back from town tomorrow morning. It's been a long time since I went to the county town and haven't been to the mountain for a long time!"

"Dad, when we go to town tomorrow, I'll go with you and sell the autumn pear paste!"

"Okay! But how do you plan to sell this autumn pear paste?"

"The main effect of this autumn pear paste is to clear away heat and resolve phlegm. I believe people with coughs will definitely need it after eating it. There are many people who come to Jishidiang for treatment every day, so let's go there and sell some first!"

The family had a new goal and quickly divided the work.

Although it was called a division of labor, in fact it was mainly Bai's father and Bai Qingyun who went to sell the autumn pear paste, while the others stayed at home to continue making it and purchase pears from the village.

Although the production process of autumn pear paste is simple, it takes time to cook, and people are needed to light the fire and stir the process. Fortunately, Xie Li and Xie Shuer both came to Dayang Village, so there are enough manpower.

The price of pears is not high nowadays, and the people in Dayang Village are living a much better life now, so few people are willing to take the trouble to pick and sell the pears.

But no one would complain about having too much money. The Bai family is willing to purchase it at the current market price, so naturally everyone is happy.

After all, no matter how small a mosquito is, it’s still meat!

"It smells so good! Is my sister back? Sister~" Bai Qinghai came back from school. People with a sensitive sense of taste could smell the fragrance of pears from afar.

Bai Qingyun hadn't seen his brothers for a long time and missed them very much: "Third brother, you are back. Is your study going well recently?"

"It went smoothly~ But it would take a long time for someone to leave. I'm afraid they would forget about their brother!"

"I really forgot. I'm afraid you only have your third brother in your eyes and can't see us~" the second brother Bai Qinghu teased.

Brothers and sisters always like to joke with each other when they meet. Bai Qingyun replied: "Second brother is so jealous. I wonder if this book I bought from the county town with great difficulty can make up for it!"

My second brother loves reading the most. He usually borrows all of the teacher’s books. He likes to read his favorite books several times. When he is familiar with them, he will write them out from memory and savor them carefully.

It is easy to appease someone with such obvious hobbies, all he needs is a book!
