Bab 92: Chapter 93: The Reticent Man_1

After dinner, Qiao Duo'er began sewing clothes.

Tan Zhenghong, on the other hand, was using a small knife to split almonds, which had a seam on their bodies. He needed to cut the almond along this seam into two halves and scoop out the kernel.

His movements were swift, and in no time, he had split more than half a basket of almonds.

Qiao Duo'er glanced over and was very satisfied.

Making dried almonds was simple—just lay the almond flesh out in the sun to dry for a few days, making sure they dried continuously.

When they were about seventy to eighty percent dry, pile the dried almonds together to let them moisten again, then rub them to make them shiny and pack them into jars.

Almond paste wasn't troublesome either. Just layer the almonds with white sugar in a basin, cover with cloth, and hang in a well to marinate overnight.

The next day, take them out and simmer over low heat for half an hour.
