    When Zhang Chengchuan returned to town, Liu Guiying and Zhang Chengyu also talked about a lot of topics. She didn't plan to have dinner with her daughter at noon. When her son came back, she would follow him home.

    When Zhang Chengchuan and Liu Guiying went to the city, Chen Xiayue was also planning to try out at home whether she could use a processing plant to process wheat into maltose. Then she would use the maltose to make fragrant fruit jam.

    Sugar can¡¯t be made only from sugar cane or beets, right?  Maltose is also very good. Chen Xiayue used the processing workshop on the farm to make maltose from wheat.

    Chen Xiayue also knows that white sugar is better for making jam, but isn¡¯t it hard to buy white sugar now?  Her farm has not yet unlocked the sugar cane crop, so she can only use maltose.

    When the rest of the Zhang family was not at home, after Chen Xiayue made maltose in the farm processing workshop, she peeled the xiangguo and marinated it with sugar for a while. After the marinade was flavored, she put it in a pot and boiled it into a sauce.

    Fortunately, there are lemon trees in the village. Chen Xiayue picked two lemons before and added a little lemon juice when making jam, which can have a preservative effect.

    Chen Xiayue spent the whole morning boiling the jam, which weighed about twenty or thirty kilograms, and she kept the rest of the fruit for fresh consumption.

    I don¡¯t know if the flavor of xiangguo is similar to that of pears, and whether it has the same effect of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs as pears. After all, Qiuli paste and rock sugar snow pear are still very famous and have very good effects.

    It¡¯s autumn now, and I don¡¯t know if I will cough when the weather gets cold. I wonder if this fragrant fruit jam can relieve coughs like Qiuli paste and rock sugar snow pear.

    After the jam was all boiled, Chen Xiayue looked at the pot and was a little confused. How should she explain where she got the sugar to make the jam?

    "Forget it, the rest of the Zhang family is not at home very much. In the evening, she will say that she made jam by herself in the afternoon, saying that she bought the sugar when she asked Zhang Chengchuan to go to the county.

    Although there are loopholes in this explanation, Chen Xiayue has no choice but to do whatever she wants.  Zhang Chengchuan will help her lie.

    Of course, it was impossible for Chen Xiayue to send all the twenty or thirty kilograms of jam to Zhang Chengyue and the others. She had to keep at least ten kilograms for her own consumption.

    After boiling the jam and putting it in a clay pot, Chen Xiayue began to cook, but today she did not cook brown rice porridge, but polenta.

    There is still a lot of corn grown on her farm, and she uses a processing plant to process it into cornmeal and corn grits. Cornmeal can be made into steamed buns, corn buns and flour to make other pasta, while corn grits can be cooked into porridge.  .

    After Chen Xiayue cooked the porridge, she added a lot of water, and then ignored it. She went out to take a look at the fragrant fruit vines that Zhang Chengchuan cut back yesterday, treat them and plant them properly.

    It is also good to grow a fragrant fruit at home. After all, the yield of fragrant fruit is quite high and the taste is very good. It will be much more convenient to eat it after planting one.

    Chen Xiayue found a place to dig in the yard, then cut a long fragrant fruit vine in half, and then planted it in the hole she dug.

    When Chen Xiayue was planting fragrant fruits in the yard, Zhang Chengchuan and his son came back. As soon as they came back, Zhang Chengchuan saw his wife squatting beside the house planting something.

    "Xia Yue, I'm back!" Zhang Chengchuan shouted.

    "Come back?" Chen Xiayue raised her head when she heard the voice. When she saw Zhang Chengchuan, she covered herself with soil and stood up.

    "Didn't you go out today?" Zhang Chengchuan looked at her and then at the fragrant fruit seedlings she had planted, feeling a little sad that she was so depressed.

    "Aren't you still familiar with the village? When I get familiar with it, I will go out to play." Chen Xiayue said with a smile.

    In fact, she quite likes living at home like this. Although she doesn¡¯t have a mobile phone or computer now, doesn¡¯t she have a farm system?  This can also pass the time.

    ¡°And it¡¯s true that she¡¯s not familiar with the Yunhe Brigade. She doesn¡¯t know many people. Who should she look for when going out to play?  What to talk about?  She's not used to it.

    "That's right, but you should stop being bored in the future and find more people to play with." Zhang Chengchuan is also worried that his wife will get sick from being bored like this. Her health is not good. If she continues to be so bored,  What should I do if it¡¯s even worse for my health?

    "It's almost the autumn harvest recently, let's talk about it after the autumn harvest." Chen Xiayue said with a smile. She should be busy recently. She should not go out to play with others, otherwise it would delay other people's work.

    Zhang Chengchuan didn¡¯t say anything. There really weren¡¯t many people available recently.

    "Actually, if I can follow"Zhang Chengchuan looked in the south direction. That was where the troops were stationed and there were family members.

    Because some of the family members accompanying the army are unemployed, they don¡¯t have much to do other than being busy with family affairs and cleaning up the little land they have reclaimed. If their wives can play with them, they can also pass the time.

    However, the family area is nearly ten miles away from here, and the family members rarely come out. Zhang Chengchuan just thought about it.

    ¡°And some family members were reluctant to contact people like them from the countryside, so he just thought about it and didn¡¯t take it to heart.

    "What did you cook today?" Liu Guiying, who put the flour brought by her son in the house, asked when she came out and smelled the sweet smell.

    "I cooked some corn porridge. Let's eat some corn porridge at noon." Chen Xiayue said with a smile. In this era, Chen Xiayue couldn't prepare big fish and meat for them every time. It would be good to eat whatever they wanted to fill their stomachs.

    Liu Guiying didn¡¯t say anything. It was not yet noon, and it would take some time before she went to work in the afternoon, so she continued to see what needed to be done at home.

    Chen Xiayue pulled Zhang Chengchuan over and secretly told him, "I made the jam, but there wasn't that much sugar at home before. I can't explain it well."

    "Then where do you get your candy?" Zhang Chengchuan also asked curiously.

    ¡°It¡¯s maltose made from wheat. I use the processing workshop on the farm to process the maltose. It¡¯s very sweet and delicious.¡± Chen Xiayue said.

    "Maltose? Wheat can also be used to make sugar?" As a pure southerner, Zhang Chengchuan really didn't know that wheat could be used to make sugar. Even if he had heard of maltose, he didn't have the imagination to think that it was made of wheat.

    ¡°Wheat is not grown in the south, so it¡¯s really not surprising that he doesn¡¯t know.

    "Well, I made a lot of maltose, and even after making the jam, I didn't even use up the maltose." Chen Xiayue said.

    "It's okay. You can keep the sugar and eat it anytime." Zhang Chengchuan rubbed her head and said, "The jam is ready. I will go to the county again tomorrow to send the jam out."

    "Are you going tomorrow?"

    "If it's a little later, we have to harvest in the autumn. The autumn harvest is very busy and we don't have time to ask for leave." Zhang Chengchuan said.

    "That's okay." Chen Xiayue had no objection.

    As for whether to return the jam to her parents¡¯ family, Chen Xiayue thought for a while and thought that she could give five kilograms to her parents¡¯ parents.  Anyway, there are about thirty kilograms of jam. Fifteen kilograms are given to Zhang Chengyue and the others, five kilograms are given to her parents' family, and the remaining ten kilograms are kept for home consumption.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
