After Ji Cha fed the chickens in the morning, he went to the warehouse to take out the apples.
Although he had made up his mind to make applesauce, Ji Cha still didn't dare to make all the ingredients at once. He first found three apples that had lost their freshness, peeled and cored them, and cut the rest into fine pieces.
The information Ji Cha found said that some lemon juice is still needed. He can't find lemons on hand now, so he can only take out a little white vinegar, hoping that it will have similar effects by then. In addition, although the apple itself is already very sweet, he still took out a little white sugar. Appropriately adding sugar can increase the shelf life of applesauce.
The materials are basically these. Ji Cha then took out a milk pot, added an appropriate amount of water in it, then added chopped apples and sugar into it and boiled it slowly over medium-low heat. After about half an hour, the apples were soft and slightly transparent. Viscous state, but still not enough, Ji Cha turned down the heat a little more, and until about 50 minutes later, he pressed down with a spoon, and the apple granules were smoothly pressed into small transparent pieces, Mixed with viscous syrup.
I took half a teaspoon of season tea and tasted it. The sugar did not increase the sweetness of the apples, but this is probably because the apples themselves are very sweet. In terms of the results, the apple jam was indeed a success, which made Ji Cha feel relieved.
In the morning, he cooked the rest of the apples in the same way, and then packed them in sealed bottles and put them back in the warehouse. Although there are many applesauces, it is enough to eat them within three months.
When Ji Cha finished washing his hands and was about to go to see Little Chicken, he bumped into Liang Jincheng who was returning from a trip at the stairs.
Liang Jincheng often goes out, but it is not common to carry such a big bag when he comes back. Ji Cha couldn't help asking, "What did you bring back?"
Liang Jincheng squeezed his fingertips hanging by his side, and let go before Ji Cha withdrew his hand, then shook his head with a smile, "It's nothing."
Grandma is standing next to her and cutting vegetables in the kitchen, so of course it's hard to say.
When Ji Cha saw the look in his eyes, he was a little scared, and then he guessed a little bit about what was probably in the bag. His face changed slightly, and he turned around and left without talking to Liang Jincheng.
Liang Jincheng was in a good mood, smiled lowly and went upstairs by himself, and put the things in Ji Cha's room.
There was nothing special in the afternoon, Ji Cha finished some daily routine chores, and then went to the chicken coop to stay for a while. Now he is so happy to see the energetic and chattering little chicks running all over the floor, and the corners of his mouth can't help but grin behind his ears.
I thought today would be over like this, but suddenly someone was looking for him outside.
It was Zhao Tiankuo, a soldier who had been familiar with him for a long time.
"Hey, Ji Cha, can you spare some food here now? Someone at the door fainted from hunger, and the army canteen is too far away."
"Yes," Ji Cha quickly stood up, "Who fainted from hunger?"
He didn't know much about the outside world, and he didn't know that people came to the base every day to enter the base. However, as soon as Zhao Tiankuo opened his mouth, he understood that from previous experience, the current base is actually relatively easy to enter, and it will be difficult when there are more people in the back.
"It's pitiful to look at, but you really can't let it in casually," Zhao Tiankuo said. "The standards were very loose at the beginning, and there was almost a big incident in the south corner. After entering, they tried to snatch it, and three people died in the fight..."
"I've heard about it, but I didn't know it was the reason for the trouble."
Ji Cha ran to the kitchen, where there were still a lot of things. Zhao Tiankuo followed him in, and was speechless when he saw this, "Hey, your food is really good." He then reminded, "Take a little, don't be too eye-catching, or people will remember it."
"En." Ji Cha nodded, and took out the steamed buns and steamed buns that grandma had steamed in the morning from the steamer. After thinking about it, he took out the remaining nine. I also took the pickles for the porridge and put them in the crisper, "I'll go with you."
He wanted to see what it was like outside.
Zhao Tiankuo smiled, "It's just right for you to go there. I'm going to take over the shift, so I can save myself a trip. I'll give you my ID, and I'll come back tomorrow to get it."
"Alright." Ji Cha took Zhao Tiankuo's ID, tidied up his things a little, and prepared to go out.
As soon as he left the gate of the factory, Liang Jincheng jumped out from nowhere. Although the road outside was almost empty, Ji Cha immediately took a big step back when he saw Liang Jincheng, "What are you doing out here?"
"It's not safe outside, I'll go with you."
Ji Cha was surprised, "Did you hear what we said just now?"
He remembered that Liang Jincheng was taking a shower upstairs just now.
Liang Jincheng's hair still had beads of water on it, and he tossed it casually. He is not afraid of the cold in the weather that is almost December. "Of course I heard it, clearly."
Ji Cha always knew that Liang Jincheng's five senses had evolved, but he didn't know that he had evolved to this point. Before he could speak here, Liang Jincheng continued, "So every time you lean against my ear and breathe, only your voice is left in the world... I can't stand it."
Ji Cha blushed, and wanted to slap the fresh-keeping box in his hand on his face.
They were about two kilometers away from the gate of the sentry post. Ji Cha rode his family's electric donkey to the gate with Liang Jincheng.
With Liang Jincheng around, it seemed superfluous to show the credentials to the soldiers at the sentry post. Ji Cha carefully put away his documents, took the fresh-keeping box and followed the soldiers' instructions to the door. There are four small groups gathered outside, it should be four small groups, except for a man and a woman with a child, the rest are all two people.
It is not an exaggeration for Zhao Tiankuo to say that some people fainted from hunger. The child in the trio did indeed close his eyes tightly, and the rest of the people did not give in. All of them had pale faces and were obviously malnourished.
Just as Ji Cha stepped out of the door frame, he immediately caught everyone's attention. The fresh-keeping box in his hand is too eye-catching.
But with Liang Jincheng and soldiers with guns standing beside Ji Cha, no one dared to do anything.
Ji Cha sighed inwardly, opened the lid of the fresh-keeping box, and divided the steamed buns one by one. The steamed buns were filled with meat, but the steamed buns were bigger, so they divided them up immediately, and devoured whatever they got. Eat it in your mouth.
Ji Cha took the bottom of the lid of the fresh-keeping box and divided the pickled vegetables into four parts, giving one point to each place.
"Thank you, thank you." In the trio, Ji Cha guessed that the woman who was the mother kept thanking Ji Cha, then carefully pushed his child to wake up, and broke open the buns for him to eat the stuffing inside.
Ji Cha turned his face away, this scene made him feel very uncomfortable.
Afterwards, he inquired with the soldiers inside the gate. Fortunately, the news was good. After inspection, these people were all taken into the base. In the next two days, Ji Cha saw the father of the trio on the construction site next to him, and the other party recognized Ji Cha immediately when he saw him, and ran over to thank him.
