Jiang Quan went to town and bought ten kilograms of sugar frosting, as well as a few earthenware jars.

His second aunt told him that preserved fruit should be stored in jars, so he bought them in preparation.

Then came the apricot picking.

They chose the ones that were seventy to eighty percent ripe, fully ripe ones that had bugs were unusable.

They were then cleaned, pitted, and preserved with crushed sugar frosting. A bit of salt was also added during preservation.

After being preserved for a few hours, the apricots would exude juice, at which point they were directly boiled in a pot.

They couldn't be boiled for too long, otherwise the apricot flesh would lose its form.

The apricot flesh and juice were promptly scooped out and let to stand for two hours, then the apricot halves were plucked out of the juice, laid out one by one on bamboo trays, and then taken out to bask in the sun.
