Chapter 122 Not Afraid of Pain
Su Cai'er looked at everyone nervously, holding the money box tightly in her hands.
"I, I'll come..."
Zhao Ce smiled and pulled her to sit on the bench aside.
Zhao Wenhao then asked Zhao Wenhao to bring out a table and put the money box on the table while the little girl hugged her tightly.
Then, he himself sat aside, nodded to everyone and said, "Let's line up."
Su Cai'er gradually calmed down when she saw her husband sitting next to her.
Watching the first aunt put the fruits brought by their family into the basket.
A basket was carried, and there was an extra half basket.
"..."
When they came back to their senses, everyone looked at Su Cai'er.
Zhao Ce also looked at her.
Su Caier blinked her eyes in confusion.
The aunt on the side smiled and said: "Cai'er, your husband asked you to count the copper coins and come out to pay the wages."
"Ah..." Su Cai'er reacted and counted with a red face.
After counting five, he looked at the extra half basket on the ground, and then at the husband next to him.
Zhao Ce didn't speak, but looked at her with a smile on his face.
Su Cai'er calmed down and then whispered: "More, half the basket came out, do you want to pay six cents?"
Zhao Ce smiled and said, "Just decide."
As he spoke, he showed complete trust in her.
Su Cai'er raised her eyebrows at him and took another copper plate.
I counted it carefully before handing it to the aunt in front of me.
After the aunt took it, she smiled and said politely: "Oh, Zhao Ce, your daughter-in-law can also help you pay your wages."
“So capable!”
Zhao Ce smiled and replied: "Yes, everything at home is usually thanks to her."
Zhao Ce continued to praise without blushing, and the aunts and wives present were all stunned.
They just gave a polite compliment, but Zhao Ce actually acknowledged it shamelessly.
Looking at the red-faced Su Cai'er next to him, who was waiting for his wages to be settled, he couldn't help but laugh.
The scene was pleasant for a while.
These people who came to deliver fruits were naturally the same group who delivered them last time.
The number of people is not very large.
After meeting a few more people, Su Cai'er gradually became familiar with it.
The speed is also much faster.
"Aunt Li's five papers are ready."
Everyone got their wish and exchanged the fruits they carried for money.
"Those sour fruits are okay, but I don't know if this fruit is okay?"
Thinking that those sour apples could be exchanged for money, an aunt came over carrying a bunch of unknown items.
Zhao Ce heard this and looked up.
Inside the basket is a pile of black and purple wild fruits!
Zhao Ce's eyes lit up.
Is this an ancient wild grape? It’s a little different from modern times.
But looking at the cleanly washed fruits, I was basically convinced.
"Can!"
After Zhao Ce finished speaking, the aunt also breathed a sigh of relief.
She saw this wild fruit when she went to the mountain to collect firewood.
Thinking that Zhao Ce's family would collect wild fruits from the mountains, I picked up a basket.
Fortunately, I can change money.
"That's good, but you can't eat this stuff, it's very sour!"
The aunt couldn't help but remind her, and Zhao Ce smiled and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I know all this."
"These sour fruits are also useful to me. If there are any more later, feel free to bring them over."
"The price is the same as peaches."
"But now I can only collect one basket per day. If there are more, I'm afraid they will go rotten."
The aunt had just exchanged a basket of peaches for money, and she was in a good mood when she heard that Zhao Ce specifically wanted these.
"Okay, then I will bring you some every day."
Zhao Ce nodded.
He also felt a little happy in his heart.
I originally thought that just relying on the two flavors of apple and peach would be a bit monotonous.
With the addition of grapes to the three flavors of candies, it will indeed be liked by more people.
Moreover, this wild grape was not edible in the eyes of the ancients because it was too sour, so they never tasted it.
This grape-flavored candy has a stronger aroma than the peach ones.
Zhao Ce also thought that if he had time, he might be able to make some wine.
This could probably be sold for a lot of money.
Just as I was thinking about it, I felt the corner of my clothes being pulled.
Zhao Ce turned around and saw Su Cai'er coming over, covering her mouth with one hand and talking to him in a low voice.
"Husband, this is so sour that it will knock your teeth out. When it is made into candy, it might also be very sour?"
Zhao Ce smiled and said: "The candies made from those sour apples were pretty good."
"Of course this is also possible."
"And if I have time, maybe I can use these to make something delicious."
Su Cai'er nodded in understanding.
Thinking that my husband is so smart, if he says it can be used, then of course it can be used.
The sun is getting higher.
The fruits are slowly being harvested.
Zhao Ce asked everyone to bring a message, and if there were any others, he would bring them over tomorrow.
The people working outside helped Zhao Ce bring all the fruits to the door.
Zhao Wenhao and the others have already gone home for dinner.
These fruits are picked up from the ground and are ripe, so they cannot be stored for a long time.
So after lunch, the young couple began to deal with it nervously.
Peel for peeling, dice for dicing, and shell for peeling.
Su Cai'er took the tool next to her and began to mash the pulp in preparation for squeezing the juice.
After mashing, pour it onto a sieve on the side, wait for the juice to slowly remain, and then hold it with a clean white cloth until it is twisted.
Zhao Ce was cutting pieces aside, and Su Cai'er turned her head to look at Zhao Ce from time to time.
"Husband, is that so?"
Zhao Ce praised without looking back: "Well, you did a very good job."
After hearing Zhao Ce's affirmative answer, Su Cai'er felt relieved and turned all her attention to these fruits.
When Zhao Wenhao and his wife came over to work, they saw Zhao Ce and his wife busy in the patio, and hurried over to help.
Zhao Ce waved his hand and said: "You make all the sugar first, we will deal with these first."
A group of four people got busy again.
Although these are not heavy tasks.
But the juice-pressing equipment they use is the primitive medicine-pounding equipment used in ancient times.
Su Cai'er's hands were busy, although her movements were still very fluent.
But Zhao Ce could feel that the sound of her breathing was obviously much louder.
There are so many fruits. If you have to mash them all and squeeze the juice, my hands may not be able to hold them.
Moreover, the tiger's mouth of the wooden pestle that Su Cai'er was holding was obviously very red from rubbing.
Zhao Ce said: "You take a rest first, I'll do it."
Su Cai'er raised her little face and smiled at him: "I'm not tired, so I don't need to rest."
Seeing Zhao Ce looking at her hand, she glanced at it subconsciously.
Then he smiled and said: "My hands don't hurt."
