Chapter 39

Something happened

Author: Er Meow Go to bed early

Something happened

When Mother Lu heard this, she immediately forgot about the anger she had received from Li Cuiqing.

She was still thinking about the grilled cold noodles made by Xu Nan last time she ate it!

She got up from the sofa, ignored Lu's father, and came to the kitchen with Xu Nan.

Xu Nan first extinguished the fire on the gas stove. The water in the pot stopped boiling and was still steaming.

In order to avoid burns, Xu Nan carefully took out the prepared cans from the pot one by one with a wet rag.

Although the canned food is still delicious when cooled, you can also eat it hot, although the taste will be worse than the cold one.

Xu Nan took out three cans from inside and prepared to share them with Father Lu and Mother Lu to eat together.

For the remaining cans, she tightened the caps and placed them upside down on the cupboard to let them cool naturally.

Mother Lu was carrying the can, and Xu Nan was carrying the lychees picked from the space, and they walked into the living room together.

The three of them were sitting on the sofa in the living room eating cans. Mother Lu was no longer angry now, and all her attention was transferred to the cans in her hands.

Mother Lu picked a canned peach, and used her chopsticks to pick out a piece of peach flesh from it, looking at the can in her hand with curiosity.

Apart from anything else, she had actually eaten this canned food many times, but this was the first time she had eaten this steaming canned food.

Mother Lu took a bite of the peach meat. Although it was a bit hot, it did not affect the deliciousness of the canned food.

When the can is steamed, the sugar water inside is sweet but not greasy, with a refreshing fragrance.

She gave Xu Nan a thumbs up with her thumb holding the chopsticks, and said various compliments to Xu Nan:

"tasty!"

"My baby, you are such a little genius. You can even make canned food. This canned food is so delicious!"

“It’s even more delicious than what I bought at the supply and marketing cooperative before!”

Mother Lu was eating the can with admiration on her face. Then she put away her thumbs and picked up a large piece of peach with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. The portion of the can was not large, so Mother Lu quickly finished the bottle.

Xu Nan touched his head in embarrassment after hearing this.

Seeing this, Father Lu also curiously picked up a can. He heard from his wife yesterday that Xu Nan actually learned to cook after entering the city.

He picked a can of lychees, unscrewed the bottle, took out a piece of lychee pulp, and put it in his mouth. His mouth was filled with the sweet taste of lychees.

Father Lu was about to praise Xu Nan for how delicious the canned food was, but he caught a glimpse of fresh lychees placed on the coffee table, and he suddenly stopped.

It is September now, although the lychee season is from March to October.

But the lychees on the plate on the coffee table in front of me are Feizixiao, which is very common in the market, and Feizixiao has been off the market in July.

The season is wrong and transportation is not convenient.

So where do these lychees come from?

Xu Nan was watching Lu's father's expression when he unscrewed the can. Seeing his frown, she thought it was because he didn't like lychees, so she was about to ask him to try another one.

As a result, Father Lu's eyes were fixed on the fresh lychees on the plate on the coffee table.

Xu Nan only felt that it was going to be bad.

She was busy thinking about leaving some fresh lychees for her father and mother to try, but she ignored that now was not the season for eating lychees.

And looking at Father Lu's expression, it was obvious that he was already suspicious.

Xu Nan laughed and could only smooth things over by himself:

"Dad, Mom, try these lychees. I bought them from the supply and marketing cooperative today when I went to buy glass bottles."

Xu Nan carefully observed the expressions of the two people on the sofa. Mother Lu was usually a big girl and didn't realize that something was wrong.

Father Lu also spoke with doubts:

"I remember it's not the season for eating lychees right now?"

After hearing this, Mother Lu looked over with some confusion.

Xu Nan's nervous palms were sweating.

Suspected!

What can be done?

Xu Nan could only continue to talk nonsense. Her mind turned quickly, and then she said to Father Lu and Mother Lu:

"Isn't it? All lychees are out of market now."

"It's a coincidence that distant relatives from the supply and marketing cooperative came to visit them, and then shipped lychees all the way from the south, saying they wanted to give them a try."

"I was also puzzled at the time. I asked the boss of the supply and marketing cooperative and he said that now is not the season for eating lychees."

"In the end, what do you think the boss of the supply and marketing cooperative said?"

After hearing this, Mother Lu became interested and asked:

"What did you say?"

Xu Nan took a sip of water, took a breath, and then continued:

"The boss of the supply and marketing cooperative said that his cousin has a large lychee garden at home. After the lychees are ripe, they will put the lychees in the icehouse, which can extend the storage time of the lychees."

Xu Nan felt a little guilty as she spoke. After all, she was just talking nonsense, and she didn't know if ice banks existed in this era.

Father Lu and Mother Lu gave up their doubts after listening to her words. Seeing that they believed them temporarily, Xu Nan handed the lychees to them, and then continued:

"I happened to go there. The owner of the supply and marketing cooperative thought that there were too many lychees to eat and they were easy to spoil, so he put some in the store to sell some. I happened to catch up with him, so I bought some."

"I was afraid that it wouldn't be able to be stored. I was about to make some cans, so I asked about making some lychees."



After lunch, Xu Nan took five bottles of the prepared cans and sent them to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The owner of the supply and marketing cooperative opened one of the bottles and tasted it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

This is no better than the ready-made canned food he bought!

He immediately placed an order with Xu Nan and said that he would sell the remaining four cans at the supply and marketing cooperative to see what the feedback was.

If everyone agrees to buy it, they will buy from Xu Nan for a long time.

Xu Nan thought for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, and then decisively agreed.

This is not much faster than her making money by setting up a stall.

After all, there are so many fruit trees in the space, and the varieties are quite complete. Picking just a few can be enough to make a truckload of cans.

The ingredients don’t cost money, the only cost is her production time.

Anyone who doesn’t do this business that just makes money is stupid!

Now I'm just waiting to see what the reviews are like after people buy it.

But since this is a business, we have to have a good discussion.

Xu Nan looked at the boss of the supply and marketing cooperative with a bright face. She had a serious discussion with the boss of the supply and marketing cooperative about the supply of glass bottles, how to deal with the products after the shelf life, and the selling price.

In the end, Xu Nan signed an agreement with the boss of the supply and marketing cooperative while ensuring his basic rights and interests.



At ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Nan had already fallen asleep.

I could vaguely hear the ringing of the phone and the sound of footsteps coming from the living room.

Xu Nan was a little disturbed. She turned over, and then heard a knock on the door, and the faint voices of Lu Nanzhou and Lu's mother could be heard in her ears.

Xu Nan was in a daze, and only vaguely heard one sentence:

"Something happened!"
