In short, the taste is comparable to those canned foods in supermarkets that are carefully blended and repeatedly tested.

You know, those canned foods all have their own secret recipes.

Zhou Qi scooped another spoonful and tasted it carefully, then looked up at Lin Ruixue with surprise in his eyes: "Where did you learn this skill?"

In fact, this is just an ordinary home-made canned fruit, and many families have tinkered with it themselves.

What surprised Zhou Qi was that the homemade canned food at home was so delicious and mellow, much better than the canned food sold on the market. In comparison, the canned food outside seemed to be simply mixed with saccharin, lacking the naturalness and purity.

When Lin Ruixue was asked this question, she was a little confused, as if she had done something wrong and seemed a little at a loss.

"It was an older lady who sold fruits who taught me this method." Lin Ruixue briefly explained the reason.

Once when buying peaches, the older sister who was selling fruits taught Lin Ruixue this method in order to deal with the stock as quickly as possible. Lin Ruixue tried it after returning home.

At first, she simply added some sugar. Later, Lin Ruixue began to do her own research and tried adding more seasonings to make the taste richer and more diverse.

He asked softly, "How many spices did you use in total?"

"About seven or eight kinds," Lin Ruixue answered honestly, "I will adjust the recipe appropriately for different fruits."

"Did you figure all this out by yourself?" Zhou Qi asked further.

"Wait for me!" Zhou Qi said this, turned around and walked out.

About half an hour later, Zhou Qi came back carrying several heavy bags filled with peaches, pears, and hawthorns.

"Use your previous method to cook these fruits as well." Zhou Qi ordered.

Lin Ruixue took the fruits blankly, with a puzzled look on her face:

"Where did you get this fruit? It's evening now and the market is closed. Where else can you buy it?"

Zhou Qi chuckled and thought: Just because the market is closed doesn't mean people don't have any stock at home. Isn't it easy to exchange some fruit for neighbors by spending some money?

Without further explanation, Zhou Qi urged: "Rui Xue, please work harder for me. Make a can of each. I will help you."

Lin Ruixue looked at the juicy fruits in the bag and felt a little distressed: "Such good fruits, it would be great to eat them directly, it would be a waste to can them!"

"It's not a pity. It's getting late. Let's be quick." Zhou Qi said with a smile.

Although Lin Ruixue didn't understand why, she followed Zhou Qi's advice since he insisted. She was always meticulous and careful in her work, and handled the fruit neatly without letting Zhou Qi get involved.

Zhou Qi could only watch intently from the side, muttering in his heart: I didn't expect that cinnamon and bay leaves would be put into the cans. It's hard to imagine how Lin Ruixue came up with these combinations. As we have seen before, her dedication is admirable.

When ordinary people make canned food, they just put some white sugar and rock sugar in it. Who would have thought that they would have to add these weird things.

After about half an hour, a bowl of attractive canned peaches came out of the oven. When it cooled down, Zhou Qi took a bite and found it was more delicious than canned apples.

"How is it? How does it taste?" Lin Ruixue looked at Zhou Qi with anticipation.

"It's not a question of whether it tastes good or not, it's simply too delicious!" Zhou Qi put down the bowl, hugged Lin Ruixue, and said with a smile: "I really found a treasure. Your canning skills are more than enough to open a store!"

Lin Ruixue's cheeks flushed at the sudden intimacy. She gently broke away, looked around, and said shyly, "I just made this casually. I tinkered with it myself. How can I sell it?"

"Why not? Have you ever eaten canned food sold outside?" Zhou Qi asked back.

Lin Ruixue shook her head slightly.

Zhou Qi looked at her, and his heart ached again. In the past, Lin Ruixue was very careful with her money, and she would spend every penny carefully. Canned food was more expensive than fresh fruit, so she couldn't bear to buy canned food, and it would be better to buy more fruit.

Feeling the affection in Zhou Qi's eyes, Lin Ruixue comforted him: "It's okay, I think the taste is similar, it's good if I make it myself."

"It's different. The canned food you make is especially delicious. It's such a waste to keep such delicious canned food at home." Zhou Qi said seriously.

Lin Ruixue was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you really planning to sell it?"

She thought Zhou Qi was just talking casually, but when she saw his serious expression, she realized he was serious.

"Of course, I'm not kidding. It would be unjust if no one buys such delicious canned food." Zhou Qi continued with a smile, "Once it sells well, you will be the founder. Imagine how happy you would be if everyone eats the canned food you made and praises your craftsmanship?"

Lin Ruixue blinked and thought about it seriously: "I should be very happy."

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "Congratulations, you are now the founder, Founder Lin, get ready to collect the money."

With a "puchi" sound, Lin Ruixue was amused by his humor.

This guy is really not serious at all!

Next, they cooked canned hawthorn and pear. Zhou Qi asked Lin Ruixue to record all the ingredients and proportions in detail. At the same time, Lin Ruixue also began to deal with the preservation of canned peaches.

She disinfected the small jar with boiling water, and when it had cooled down completely, Lin Ruixue carefully put the canned peaches in it, covered it with a layer of plastic wrap, and finally took a warm bath in the hot water.

"How long can it be kept like this without going bad?" Zhou Qi asked curiously.

"That lady said it can last more than a month, but I usually finish it in less than a week." Lin Ruixue replied with a little pride on her face.

This method passed down by our ancestors can create a natural vacuum environment in the jar, so the food can be kept longer. I have to admit that there are many experts among the people!

In fact, as long as it is tightly sealed, this method can store it for a year without any problem. The canned fruit has high sugar content and little oxygen, so it is difficult for microorganisms to cause a revolution. As long as the sterilization is in place, preservatives are not needed at all.

Lin Ruixue finished her work and then returned to the Lin family.

The next morning, when Zhou Qi just arrived at the factory, Ma Yuancai was already waiting there, his face as pale as paper.

"Oh, Brother Ma, you look so haggard, are you afraid that I will cut off your supply of apples?" Zhou Qi joked.

Ma Yuancai glared at him fiercely: "Zhou Qi, did I provoke you?"

Zhou Qi looked confused: "What do you mean?"

"I drank your tea last night and ended up going to the bathroom eight times throughout the night. Now my legs are still shaking. Did you drug me?" Ma Yuancai said angrily.

Zhou Qi was amused when he heard this: "Master Ma, you are putting too much blame on me. I drank it myself, too. It was obviously you who ate the wrong thing, but you are blaming me. How can this be justified?"
