Qin Wuya's cutting techniques were average, but luckily her hand strength was not bad. After working hard for a whole cup of tea, she cut the items on the chopping block into pieces.

It was just that although it was not a problem to use these dregs as Nectar s, it was not as exquisite as what he had done with the juicer in his previous life.

If only there was a way to crush and flatten these pear dregs.

Ginger and Chen Pei did not have much of a problem, the next time they bought it, they could just pay two coins to grind it into powder, but the pear seed could easily grind it into powder.

Eh, mash?

Smash?!

Thinking about this, Qin Wuya had a plan in her mind.

Why didn't he find a medicine boy in the medicine store to use the drug socket s, and settle it?

However, it was too late to look for it now. The pile of dregs would oxidize if he were to return. In any case, this was only an experiment, there was no need to be so cautious.

As he thought about the solution to the problem, Qin Wuya's interest grew even more. He excitedly placed the prepared ingredients into a basin, then went outside to build a stove to boil some water.

Actually, he didn't need to bring much water to boil. Two small bowls were more than enough.

When the water in the pot is heated, you can pour the chopped material into the pot.

This time, Qin Wuya sliced two large pears, the ingredients were extremely heavy, and when the ingredients were poured in, they actually raised the water level, adding an appropriate amount to the half a bowl of well water, overflowing all the ingredients.

Nectar did not have much requirements for the fire, and in order to save time, Qin Wuya made the most intense fire this time, causing the water to boil very quickly.

Qin Wuya took out a clean bamboo stick and stirred the ingredients in the pot evenly, then she started to cook the ingredients in the stove's middle range slowly.

In about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he could filter out a portion of the juice from the primary paste form of the mountain pear paste, and find a clean and non-oily small bowl to put aside.

The leftover pear dregs in the pot could be stirred with bamboo stick and then added with water. There was still not much of it, just one bowl was enough.

This time, he needed to stew for a longer period of time than before. Of course, if it was done by an ordinary person in their own home, they could stew it faster with fire.

However, this time, the taste that Qin Wuya wanted to make was slightly more exquisite, so she used a small fire instead.

It was the same as the first time. Qin Wuya saw that when there was only about a quarter of the remaining water in the wok, the juice would be filtered out just like that.

Then, for the third time, he poured more water into the pot. It was the same amount as the previous time, just that this time, it would take at least an hour to boil.

It had to be said that being a Nectar was a very tiresome task. It required a lot of time, and Qin Wuya was lucky that she was not doing anything while she was around.

The weather was hot to begin with, so it was hard for him to stay near the stove without feeling stuffy. Seeing that the stew took a long time to finish, Qin Wuya went into the hut to get some tea and a fan to relieve the heat.

Drinking tea and fanning himself with the wind, Qin Wuya casually stirred the pear juice in the pot. An hour had passed, and although he was listening to it for a long time, his moment of comfort was quickly over.

At this moment, the pear dregs cooked in the pot had almost lost their shape and had turned into a lump of paste.

Similarly, they continued to filter. Only Qin Wuya had taken out the Gobu this time and covered the entire pot.

After cleaning the wok, he poured the filtered pear juice from the previous three times into the wok again. After cleaning his hands, he could squeeze the remaining juice from the Gobu through the wreckage inside the wok.

He didn't need to use any techniques, but he needed to use a little bit of strength and patience. After all, if he used less energy, the finished product would only taste like ordinary soup.

Qin Wuya was the one who took care of the menial work, she didn't have anything else. The strength of his palms, however, was enough for him to use it. Very quickly, the remnants of the Gobu began to pile up on top of Qin Wuya's palms.

It looked like a small egg.

This time, it should be enough!

Looking at the sweet juice in the pot, Qin Wuya revealed a satisfied smile.

It had to be said that being a Nectar was a very tiresome task. It required a lot of time, and Qin Wuya was lucky that she was not doing anything while she was around.

It seemed like he would have to hurry up and buy the drug socket the next day.

After that, things became much simpler. He just needed to add the sugar and continue to simmer. He just needed to wait for the sugar to melt and boil the pear juice in the pot until it was half done.

However, during the process, he had to be careful of the bottom of the pot, and use more bamboo stick s to stir it, otherwise it would be easy to paste it into the pot.

After about half an hour of cooking, the pear juice in the wok had completely thickened and was like molasses. It was ready to go out.

Now, it was just the last step. Qin Wuya proudly brought some honey over, and only waited for the pear juice in the pot to be half warm and half cold before adding some honey.

This was very important. If the pear juice was too cold then it would be difficult to mix. If it was too hot then the nutrition of the honey would lose its effect.

"Yep, the color is bright yellow, the taste is sweet and refreshing and very mellow, not any worse than the Black Gallon Soy Sauce."

Qin Wuya was very satisfied with the taste. She took out the small pottery pot she prepared beforehand and washed it clean before sealing it.

With the experience of making the fruit paste in advance, Qin Wuya's room was now filled with different sized jars. This time, he was going to pick the smallest one.

It was a pity that his appearance was a bit uglier. It would have been better if it was made of glass or porcelain.

But that's fine, if the Manager Wu feels that the taste is good after testing, then Qin Wuya believed that he would be willing to spend all his money on the latter part of the package.

"Wuya, what did you come back for?"

Qin Wuya was busy clearing up the pots and pans in the courtyard when she saw Madam Li coming over with a basket.

"I came back for a while. Just now, I was thinking about cooking some food, but I didn't tell my sister-in-law about it. I've troubled you with your thoughts."

"What's the matter? Just now, even if you went to find me, I wouldn't have the time to entertain you." Madam Li was never a petty person, so he did not mind and laughed.

"A guest has arrived at sister-in-law's house?"

"Yes, that's right. My old man had a brother who ran the business from north to south in his early years. He just came to see us and brought us a basket of kumquats from Lin Hang."

I thought you might like to eat, so I brought you some food to try. "

"Honey orange?" This is truly rare. "

Qin Wuya received the basket in surprise.

The Cloud Prefecture was located in a remote place, which was a truly cold and bitter place. Perhaps, he could still obtain some fruits from the nearby food, but this Tangerine definitely would not be able to get any good food in the future.

Previously, when Qin Wuya was making the fruit sauce, she had used a kind of wild mountain orange from the west mountain. This was the basic characteristic of the oranges produced by the Cloud Prefecture, exactly the same as the orange-bearing Huai Nan and Huai Bei.

"That's right."

Madam Li laughed and said:

"That girl, Peach Blossom, didn't care about stuffing two more oranges after just eating. Right now, her stomach is swollen like a ball."

"Why are there so many?"

Qin Wuya opened the lid and saw that there were more than ten round, yellow, lantern-like fruits inside:

"Sister-in-law, I want the two of you to have a taste." Such a rare good thing, why don't you bring it back for me to keep for the peach blossoms? "

"What's hard and hard to come by? A few days ago, you gave that girl Peach Blossom a fruit sauce? Isn't that hard to come by?" It's only a few oranges these days, and you're still being courteous with me? "

"That's different."

Qin Wuya shook her head in embarrassment. She didn't have any other plans with the fruit sauce, but it was different with the oranges.

"What's different?"

Madam Li disapprovingly said:

"If it's really different, then that fruit paste of yours is even more valuable. It's a rare item that's worth a total of ten taels of silver."

"Sister-in-law!"

Qin Wuya could not help but retort.

He still wanted to say something, but it could be seen from Madam Li's resolute attitude that he knew it would be useless to continue.

Qin Wuya was a little embarrassed as shesheeceived the oranges. However, when she thought about it, she remembered that jar of Nectar s he had just made.

Although he was going to bring them to Manager Wu tomorrow, he didn't need to bring that much with him. He might as well give some to Madam Li first.

"Sister-in-law, I've made a new dish, so you have to help me try the taste."

With that, Qin Wuya turned around and ran into the house. She excitedly took out the Nectar that she had just stored in a jar.

"What is this?"

Just as the seal was opened, Madam Li smelled a refreshing and sweet scent. She curiously looked into the mouth of the altar.

He saw that the jam inside the jar was golden yellow and very pleasing to the eye.

"Today, if it weren't for the fact that there were a few pear seed that had yet to be sold, I would have made some food that could be stored for a longer time and then made some new Nectar."

"Girl, you sure are clever. Before, you even said that there was nowhere for Riko to go. In just half a day, you managed to think of something new."

The Madam Li curiously received the spoon and plate that Qin Wuya gave her, and carefully scooped a spoonful on top of the plate.

"Is such a delicate item worth eating?"

"It's just an ordinary item. There's no need to be so particular about it. I'll just directly taste it." I was thinking of using it as a snack like the previous one. "

"Eh, is this the smell of pear seed and Shi Mi?"

Madam Li was a little bit greedy, but she soon said in surprise:

"Why does it feel so cool?"

"Sister-in-law tasted it?"

Qin Wuya pursed her lips and smiled:

"The main ingredient of this Nectar is the Hundred Herbs pear seed, it's just that I added a powder of the mint leaves inside, causing it to feel a little cool.

Speaking of which, I thought it was too little. However, I didn't expect sister-in-law to test it out. "

"If it was in the past, I might not be able to taste it. However, in this hot day, it is unusually sweet and smooth. It is also cool and refreshing. Naturally, I will be able to taste it immediately."

After saying that, Madam Li put a bit more into her mouth. Despite the sweet and mellow thick jam melting between her lips, she actually felt her body become much cooler:

"Girl, what a coincidence!

Although pear seed s are not as valuable as your Western purple fruit s, but just from the taste of the Nectar, I think it's a lot more delicious. "

"Is what sister-in-law said true?"

Hearing Madam Li's boast, Qin Wuya unconsciously raised her voice. Although she was extremely confident in the Nectar before, but after all, if someone else said it, it would be a completely different story.

"Why would sister-in-law lie to you?"

If you don't directly say that you need the ingredients, sister-in-law, you can tell that your purple fruit sauce can already be sold for ten taels of silver, so this Nectar would at least need another two taels of silver to be worth it. "

"How could it be so high?" That day, the amount of purple fruit sauce sold for ten taels was merely to bully the people of Zhang Family. "

Saying that, Qin Wuya could not help but laugh slyly:

"Sister-in-law might not know, but the truth is, my fruit sauce sold for only three to five taels of silver per jar with the Guest Home Resturant."

"One is ten taels of silver while the other is three and a half taels of silver. How can they be so lacking?"

This was the first time Madam Li heard Qin Wuya personally mentioning the selling price of purple fruit. She was extremely surprised, but after that she covered her mouth and laughed:

"Girl, you really have the heart of a thief." Aren't you afraid that one day, your Zhang Mansion's steward will find out that you intentionally tricked him to find trouble with you? "

"What are you afraid of?"

Qin Wuya said disapprovingly:

"Even if I didn't lie to him, he would come and find trouble with me time and time again. Why don't you bully him? My heart is a bit too satisfied. "

"That's the truth."

Madam Li was not a pedant and timid person.

"This sort of despicable person's conduct is truly something that needs to be dealt with." This place isn't the territory of the Yun Province, could it be that the Zhang Family, an outsider, wants to cover the sky with one hand? "

"Sister-in-law is right." Qin Wuya smiled faintly with an indifferent expression.

She was no longer the ignorant transcender who was nothing and knew nothing.

It was true that Zhang Family had a lot of money and power, but she had his own good days to live on.
