Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Chapter 299 Sisters and I do it together

Xiuying said seriously, "Come on, sisters, follow me."

Xiuying rolled up her sleeves and prepared to demonstrate, only to see the servants bring in a basket of passion fruit, which she washed and peeled.

Then, Xiuying picked up a passion fruit, split it in half, carefully took out the flesh and put it into a ceramic jar.

Xiuying's movements were skillful and smooth. She explained as she did it: "You also need to remove the layer inside the passion fruit shell, otherwise it will affect the taste and be bitter."

Then, she filtered the pulp in the ceramic jar and said, "Put this passion fruit juice aside for later use."

Then, she washed the passion fruit shell carefully, put it into the pot and blanched it for twenty minutes, then took it out and washed it again with cold water.

"Then add sugar and mix well. Press the top and sprinkle sugar on it. Pour in passion fruit juice and marinate for two days."

Xiuying turned around and asked the servant beside her to bring out the passion fruit shells that had been pickled for two days. She said, "This is the passion fruit shells that were pickled for two days in advance. Filter it again and set aside the passion fruit juice."

Then, she made cuts on the pickled passion fruit shells and said, "Finally, put them in the drying box to dry." Xiuying breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the women with a smile.

Xiuying looked focused and said seriously, "Now I'm going to teach you how to make passion fruit candy."

Xiuying glanced at the woman in front of her, "First, boil the passion fruit juice left over from earlier." As she spoke, Xiuying gestured with her hand, her eyes fixed on the pot, a spoon in her hand ready to stir at any time.

At this time, Guihua hurriedly brought a clay pot and said, "Mom, this is what you wanted." The clay pot was filled with corn syrup that Xiuying bought in the system mall. Guihua held the pot carefully, fearing that anything might go wrong.

Xiuying poured some corn syrup in and stirred it quickly, then said, "Then add the sugar-like substance in this jar."

As soon as she finished speaking, Guihua quickly handed over another jar filled with white sugar. Guihua's movements were agile and she did not dare to slack off.

Then, Xiuying controlled the heat and said, "Keep cooking over high heat until the water is dried up." The juice in the pot was boiling and steaming.

"Add corn starch." Guihua quickly brought another jar.

"Stir over medium heat, it will become thicker and thicker." As Xiuying stirred, the juice in the pot became thicker and thicker.

"Add the watermelon seeds." Xiuying said loudly.

"Stir it evenly." The women watched Xiuying's operation nervously.

"Take it out of the pot and pour it into a square plate to remove the bubbles." Xiuying poured the contents of the pot into the square plate with quick movements. Hot steam filled the air and the aroma was fragrant.

"Pour it out after it cools down and sprinkle with coconut flakes." La Mei quickly handed over a jar, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Cut it into pieces and it's done!" Xiuying finally showed a satisfied smile.

Everyone stared at the finished passion fruit gummy candy, their eyes full of surprise and disbelief, and they all exclaimed in amazement.

"Xiuying, you are really capable!" A woman couldn't help but exclaim loudly, her voice full of admiration. As she spoke, she kept shaking her head, as if she was still immersed in shock.

"That's right, we've never heard of these things and how to make them." Another woman quickly agreed, her face full of envy. She moved closer to look at the candy carefully, muttering to herself.

"Sister Xiuying, how come you are so smart and can come up with such a wonderful idea!" Another woman said with a smile on her face, her eyes full of admiration for Xiuying.

"We usually only know how to do some rough work, how can we have seen such exquisite craftsmanship!" Everyone talked at once, their words full of admiration and amazement for Xiuying.

Xiuying smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Don't say that, everyone. Actually, you just need to do it a few times to get the hang of it."

"I will guide you for three days, and we will practice well during these three days. The methods of making dried passion fruit and passion fruit candy are fixed. As long as you put your heart into it, it is not difficult to master it." Xiuying explained patiently.

"I've written down the order in which to put the jars for making passion fruit gummy candy. Just follow the order." Xiuying pointed to the neatly arranged jars and continued, "I've marked them clearly, so don't worry about making mistakes. As long as you follow the steps strictly, you'll definitely be able to make delicious passion fruit gummy candy."

With Xiuying's tireless and extremely patient explanation, the women's understanding seemed to be stimulated all at once, and they quickly learned how to make passion fruit candy and dried passion fruit.

These women had never dared to imagine that they would have such an opportunity to earn money. Since they came to work for Xiuying, their say in the family has become more powerful.

Every morning, just after dawn, you can see these ten women walking towards Xiuying's house, talking and laughing. Their faces are filled with happy smiles, and they share interesting stories at home with each other.

It was almost noon when they left with a satisfied look on their faces. After a quick lunch, they hurried back without taking a rest.

They are very satisfied with their current life. They have food stored at home and can go out to earn money. They no longer have to rely on the men in the family for the monthly allowance.

During these days, the medicinal materials matters that Taohua was in charge of progressed quite smoothly and were almost done.

From the initial excavation to the meticulous slicing and drying, every process is very meticulous and no carelessness is tolerated. Taohua strictly controls every step to ensure the high quality of the medicinal materials.

Now that everything is ready, it is indeed time to go to the city and hand over these medicinal herbs.

Xiuying called Awang in with a serious look, stared at him closely and asked, "Awang, there will be big changes in all walks of life now. As the eldest son of the Chen family, have you seen any business opportunities from it?" Xiuying's eyes were full of anticipation.

Awang frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Auntie, after the natural disaster, food prices have risen sharply. Ordinary people are tightening their belts and living a very difficult life."

"Many businesses are no longer able to operate. Take the cloth shops on the street, for example. There are very few people buying cloth to make new clothes, and business is bleak. Even the restaurants, which used to be packed with guests, are now deserted."

As Awang spoke, he shook his head helplessly, his eyes revealing his confusion about the current situation.

"But I think there may be opportunities hidden in this crisis. I just haven't thought it through yet." Awang frowned and fell into deep thought.
