Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Iced Slush

What is shaved ice? In her previous life, she had seen this dessert commonly served at many sweet shops and favored by young girls. With the weather growing increasingly hot, she recalled the shaved ice she had eaten before when she saw the refrigerator at the restaurant.

Cheng Su had already frozen a basin of ice with cold boiled water in preparation. Now, with leftover pineapples, she planned to make some pineapple jam as a sweet sauce topping.

Speaking of pineapple jam, it was something she thought of from the strawberry sauce added to ice cream in McDonald’s of the past. Although strawberries weren’t available yet, it didn’t matter since they had pineapple.

After listening to her explanation, Qiulan sliced the pineapple and soaked it in salt water before chopping it into small pieces.

The cooking, of course, was carried out by Cheng Su herself. She started by adding white sugar and rock sugar, squeezed in some lemon juice that she bought, and stirred everything together evenly, then poured it into a small pot. She heated it over low heat until the water was all evaporated, leaving the pineapple jam thick and ready.

Cheng Su tasted it, finding it delightfully tangy and sweet.

"Wow, it tastes even better than sweet and sour pork!" exclaimed Qiulan, her face lighting up with surprise as she tried some.

"It’s not much now since it’s hot. Wait until it’s completely cooled, that’s when it’s truly delicious," Cheng Su said, blinking her eyes.

"Sister Su, you’re so capable!"

Cheng Su smiled contentedly and placed the entire pot of jam in well water to cool it. Then she took out the prepared ice and took turns with Qiulan to crush it with a hammer.

It was a pity they didn’t have a machine to crush the ice. If they did, they could have simply put it in and stirred, and it would have turned into small pieces without the need to hammer it so laboriously.

She placed the finely crushed ice in a bowl and ladled a generous spoonful of jam over it, then tasted it.

The chill dispelled the heat, leaving behind a refreshing sweet and sour sensation, appealing to both the young and old. If she sold this, it would definitely be tastier than popsicles made with plain sugar water!
