After going to the countryside, I can fish as much as I can

Chapter 37
"Yeah, I'll eat it right away."

After saying that, Zhou Xiuhua was no longer polite. She clapped her hands and grabbed the steamed bun and started eating. She picked up a cowpea with chopsticks and threw it into her mouth. Her eyes instantly narrowed.
"It's sour, spicy, crispy, and delicious. It's not as salty as my mother's. You can teach me later. I want to learn how to make kimchi."

"It's very simple. You boil the water and pour it into a clean jar without any oil on it. Then put a pound of salt and let it cool.

After cooling, add the washed and dried peppers, young Sichuan peppercorns, old ginger, and peeled garlic. These are the ingredients for raising the jar.

You can pickle whatever else you want to eat, but it must be tender. For example, young ginger, young cowpeas, beans, radishes, cabbage, and cucumbers can all be pickled.
Like radishes and cabbage, cut them into thin slices or thin strips and you can eat them the next day.
For example, cucumbers can be eaten in two hours. Those that have been soaked for a short period of time make us choke on them.

Every time you make a new dish, you should put a little salt in it. It would be best if you have rock sugar and white wine, so that the dish will not become soft or too sour.
You can also soak some dried green vegetables in the sun. When the time comes, the pickled fish will also be very fragrant.
Pickled peppers, pickled chili peppers and pickled ginger were picked up and chopped into fine pieces. When used to stir-fry shredded pork, the taste was absolutely delicious! "

"Your rice dumplings are very particular about cooking. I see that my mother puts too much salt every time, and there is no flavor at all. I have to make a note of it and make it myself in the future."

Zhang Youyou was cutting the pepper stalks with scissors while chatting with Zhou Xiuhua. Zhou Xiuhua finished the steamed buns in several bites, took the bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen, washed them, put them on the chopping board, and came out to clean up the peppers together.
"From now on, you can just call me by my name. You don't have to call me the educated youth named Zhang. It's hard to pronounce."

"That's great! I've wanted to call you this for a long time, but I was afraid you would dislike it."

"Is little educated youth Zhang here? My mother asked my two brothers to carry the dishes to you."

Aunt Tian's eldest and youngest sons came, carrying two large baskets full of cabbage. Each of them also carried a large bamboo basket.
A bamboo basket is full of green and red peppers, old, tender, big and small.

Another bamboo basket contained dried fungus and hazel mushrooms. When Zhang Youyou heard the sound, she got up and opened the door to let the two of them in.
After putting the things down, I looked through them and saw that they had been carefully selected. The fungus and mushrooms were of good quality.
"I wonder what Aunt Tian wants to change?"

"My mother told me to exchange five kilograms of millet for my daughter-in-law during her confinement period. I will exchange it for five kilograms of white flour, and the rest will be replaced by stick noodles."

The boss of the Sun family said rudely, Zhang Youyou asked them to carry the wooden sticks, tie them with ropes, weigh them directly with the baskets on their backs, and then take out the cabbages one by one and stack them neatly.
We then weighed the empty baskets. The full baskets contained 316 kilograms of cabbage, 48 kilograms of peppers, and 13 kilograms of fungus and hazelnut mushrooms.
Zhang Youyou mentally calculated how many stick noodles he could exchange for.
After saying a few words, the boss of the Sun family was a little impatient and said directly,
"Xiao Zhang educated youth, we all believe in your character. You don't need to explain it to me in such detail. I don't understand it anyway. My mother said that you are a real person and will not let us suffer."

Zhang Youyou paused for a moment, this time it was just me, my mother said, it almost broke her defense.
"Okay, brother Sun, you two brothers, I'll go in and get the food in a moment."

"Sister-in-law Chunyan is about to give birth?"

Seeing that they were finished, Zhou Xiuhua asked curiously,
"Well, it's probably less than two months away!"

When this was mentioned, Boss Sun was a little embarrassed, and he also had a little expectation in his heart. He didn't know what his child would look like.
"I'm going to eat red eggs then."

"I guarantee it. My mother has saved a lot of eggs! It will definitely be enough!"

"It's just difficult. I'll leave you the two biggest and most popular ones when the time comes." Sun Laoer was also making jokes on the side. He rarely carried such heavy things. He was really tired just now. He sat next to him for a while and then took a rest. come over,
"Little educated youth Zhang, why do you need so much spicy food?"

"It's said to be a spicy sauce to be eaten with rice, just like our Gada's soybean sauce."

Zhou Xiuhua said while cutting the peppers. The two brothers were no longer curious after hearing this. Their family ate few peppers and did not think that adding too much spicy food would be delicious.
Zhang Youyou quickly took out the food. There were three bags in total. She took out two bags first, and then went back to drag the noodles. In fact, she could take them out together, but that would be a bit scary.
So she grabbed a corner of the sack and pulled it out. When Boss Sun saw it, he hurried over, bent down and swung the grain with both hands, then put the grain on his shoulders.
"This is five kilograms of millet, five kilograms of white flour, and that's stick noodles for you. You can weigh the total of 150 kilograms, but it is divided into two bags. My scale can only weigh 100 kilograms."

Upon hearing this, the two brothers grinned from ear to ear. Both brothers looked at Zhang Youyou gratefully.
"Why are you so embarrassed? You've suffered too much. Why don't you take some stick noodles back?"

Although Boss Sun is a little reluctant to give up, he can't do anything to take advantage.
"No, the cabbage you sent this time is of very good quality. Every cabbage grows very well. I tried it just now and it tastes good. If you still need to replace it, you can send it to me. I will make it spicy." Eat cabbage.”

"You really like spicy food. You should also put spicy food in cabbage. That's okay. I'll go back and ask my mother. There are some persimmons in my field. Do you want them?"

At first, Zhang Youyou thought 'persimmon' was the kind of fruit she eats, but later she found out that it was the tomato she usually eats, or tomato.

"If you have more, send it over! I can also make some persimmon jam, but it doesn't take too much, at most ten kilograms is enough."

"There shouldn't be that many! Then I'll go back and have a look, and I'll get back to you then."

"Row."

Originally, the two brothers were ready to leave, but Boss Sun asked again,
"All the cabbage is here, don't you put it back in the cellar? Or we two brothers will move it to the cellar for you."

"You don't have to wait. I'll just move it myself. There's no need to worry."

Boss Sun stopped working, put the grain on his shoulders on the ground, and started to move the cabbage. Second Brother Sun also followed.
When Zhang Youyou saw this, he was no longer polite. He just asked them to move the cabbages into the cellar. There were only ten cabbages left in the yard. It would be fine to keep them overnight. They will be used to make spicy cabbages tomorrow.
The two brothers worked quickly, helping Zhang Youyou put the extra cabbage into the cellar and stack it neatly, and then went home with the grain.

"How's it going? These two brothers can do things neatly! My mother said you shouldn't look for men like this."

After Zhou Xiuhua left, she leaned her head a little closer and whispered,
"Isn't what you said contradictory? Isn't it better that these two brothers do things neatly?"

Zhang Youyou was a little confused. This boss Sun looked a bit like a mama's boy. He shouldn't be looking for someone like him. But what did Zhou Xiuhua mean?
"My mother said, a man who doesn't listen to his mother is not a man. If you haven't weaned yourself off, you can't have that kind of man."

"Your mother said it brilliantly!"

Zhang Youyou laughed loudly and gave her a thumbs up.
