Chapter 44 Making Pickles

Hearing this, Li Guofeng became excited.

That is their family’s life-saving food!

Speaking of which, this person is not easy either.

There is an old lady at home who has bad legs and feet.

There is also a widowed sister and two nieces who are following him now.

There is also an eldest brother in the family, who has long been married and had children, and is now single.

He looks good, but his original family is too burdensome.

He is already thirty and has not found a wife yet.

At this age, I don’t think it will be like that in future generations.

But for the 1970s, that was a proper old bachelor.

Liu Yunshuang and Zhi Qing, who are the same age as him, are already ten years old. The difference between them is obvious.

"I don't know the specifics, you can ask around.

However, don’t confess me, you also know our relationship. "

"Don't worry, I won't do it. I won't cause you any trouble."

"Ok!"

Liu Yunshuang was quite satisfied with what he said.

That's the only thing missing, just mention him a little more.

"I heard that Xu Lanchun is going on a blind date recently, and she is a treasure in Lao Xu's family.

He also cares about face and will definitely not make people laugh. "

Hearing this, Li Guofeng's eyes lit up.

"I understand, thank you, Comrade Liu Yunshuang.

Do you want to go back? Let me help you carry this. "

As he said that, he picked up the relatively large bundle of willow branches next to him.

"Hey, no need, I can just carry it back myself."

"It's okay. I just happen to be going back, so I'm on my way."

After saying that, the person walked down the mountain.

Liu Yunshuang quickly picked it up and followed his footsteps home.

Li Guofeng did not enter the house, but placed his things at the door.

He had pressing matters to attend to, she understood.

I quickly thanked them and moved the two bundles of willow sticks in.

"Mom, you're back. Who was that person just now?"

Xu Zhiqing came over to help her move, and when she ran out of the kitchen, she obviously saw other people.

"Uncle Li Guofeng, he helped carry down a bundle. I can't get it back by myself."

"Oh, Mom, come in quickly, I've prepared the food."

"Okay, my daughter is awesome, she is my mother's right little helper."

Xu Zhiqing especially liked this trick and laughed so hard that her eyes could not see her nose.

The two of them placed their things in the yard, spread them out evenly, and then went back to eat.

"Mom, how should I fry this celery to make it delicious?"

The celery planted yesterday was all cored, and the larger ones outside were all broken off.

"It's okay, let's steam some steamed buns tonight.

Stew the fan bones at noon and refine the oil at night, just in time to eat the steamed buns stuffed with oil residue.

Put some celery and some cabbage. "

I can't help but let go of the meat. I must cook it all today.

"Okay, then I'll soak all the meat in a moment."

"Good~"

Just do what you say. In addition to cooking today, you also have to pickle the vegetables.

I let it dry for a day yesterday and it's ready.

Liu Yunshuang also made some dough in the past. Now there is no baking powder, so we use a dough starter, which takes a little longer.

Xu Zhili was not idle either. He led Zhiyi and Da Zhuang to clean several large vats and let them dry.

Then, put the largest jar into the house.

In the northeast corner of the east room, I put it first because I was afraid that the back would be full and no one could move it.

There is no way, they are all about eating, so naturally they have to be kept in the house.

It's going to be hot in the back of this room, but it doesn't matter.

Next is the small jar, used for making kimchi. There are many steps involved in pickling sauerkraut. You need to remove all the big leaves on the outside, leaving the tender parts inside.

After washing, scald it in warm water to make sure there is no cold water.

She usually only blanches it once, so that the sauerkraut produced is crisper and crisper.

It tastes better too.

Leave two of these Chinese cabbages for the next two days.

The rest was all marinated in, and there was a big vat full of it.

"Mom, we need a cylinder stone, but we don't have one now, what should we do?"

"It's okay, look at it all coming out.

Let's cover the curtain and use this to press it for a while. "

In less than a day, this will soften and the lid will close.

She would just go to the river in the west in the afternoon and get a piece of pressure stone and come back.

There were too many things to do today, so I used a stone from the yard to press it on top of the curtain.

Xu Zhili hurriedly washed it and put it in the sun to dry. After it was dry, he took it over.

Then, everyone started cutting radishes again.

Since you want to pickle the kimchi, cut it into smaller pieces so that it will be easier to eat later.

Wash the sour beans, cut off the ends and put them in whole.

In order to satisfy Xu Zhili's request, he also brought a small jar over and marinated some sweet and sour garlic.

This new garlic is just right, no need to peel it, just marinate it whole.

This busy time has reached noon.

"Zhiqing, Zhili, clean up here, I'll go stew the meat."

"Okay, Mom, go quickly."

Xu Zhili couldn't wait and even started to urge her.

Liu Yunshuang pursed her lips and smiled, but did not expose him.

Today I have been burning the pot outside the east room, just stew the meat here.

Put the pot under cold water, squeeze out the bleeding first, and then take it out.

Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry the big bones. I asked the meat seller to chop them into two large pieces, so it is not very convenient to stir-fry.

However, it is also possible.

"Zhiqing, bring over the thermos bottle."

"Okay~"

You need to use hot water for this stew so that it doesn't taste sour.

Zhiyi has bad teeth, so a soft one is suitable for her.

After a while, the whole courtyard was filled with the aroma of meat.

She washed some rice, put it in a small basin, and poured in an appropriate amount of water.

Place a grate in the pot and place it directly on top.

When the meat is ready, the rice is also ready, which saves trouble.

She also washed some gherkins and made a salad.

It relieves greasiness and is delicious.

Originally, I wanted to pickle some cucumbers, but there was only so much in total, and I couldn’t bear to eat them, so I just ate them.

Soon, the bones came out of the pot with a lot of meat on them.

"Wow~"

Several children were extremely excited, including Xu Zhiqing, who had always been calm, with little stars in her eyes.

"Okay, let's eat quickly~"

"Mom, you eat first~"

Liu Yunshuang curled her lips, cut out a piece of meat, and placed it in Xu Zhiqing's bowl.

"The first piece is for your eldest sister. She helps with the housework at home and takes care of you two. She is mother's right little helper. Eat quickly."

Xu Zhiqing was a little moved. She looked at the meat in the bowl and didn't know what to say.

In the past, at Lao Xu's house, she had to do more work than she does now.

But you still have to be scolded, and eating is the worst.

Liu Yunshuang cut out another piece and put it in Xu Zhili's bowl.

“The men in our family are becoming more and more responsible and know how to help with the household chores.

Keep up the good work, little man. "
