The original owner of the grain quietly did something great, hiding his merit and fame.
The weather in Kyoto was getting colder day by day. Cheng Xi was busy preparing for the winter. He asked Su Zhan to go to the blacksmith shop to order several iron stoves, and took Shen Xingqi and Wang Shu to pack the vegetables in the yard.
Mr. Xu sat on a rocking chair made of bamboo and swayed in the sun, very comfortable.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to store all these wild cabbages in the cellar? I'm afraid we won't be able to eat them all throughout the winter."
Shen Xingqi never thought that one day she would have to worry about food. Prices in Kyoto were high. She originally thought that she would have to spend more money to survive the winter this year. She never thought that her brother's reputation as the number one scholar would be so useful, just for the neighbors. There were many congratulatory gifts sent.
The steward of the village also sent a cart today, and now the whole yard was full.
Can't finish it, can't finish it at all.
"What are you worrying about at such a young age? If you can't finish eating, make pickles and pickles. You can save them for a year."
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"
Cheng Xi found it interesting when she slapped her forehead in sudden realization. The reason why the little girl didn't expect it was because in previous years, the Shen family didn't have spare money to buy extra food. Being able to guarantee three meals a day was already pretty good.
"The pickles made by Aunt Cuihua are the best in Shenjia Village. Let's try to see if we can make that taste this time."
The three of them rinsed the radishes and pickled them according to the steps, and stored them in three large black jars as high as half a person. Fortunately, half of the yard was empty.
Shen Xingqi was worried again, "Are these cabbages going to be made into sauerkraut?"
Although pickled fish is delicious, you don’t need so much.
"Make a small portion and make the rest into spicy cabbage."
Cheng Xi found that no one in the Shen family liked sour food, and she didn't like it either, so she never thought of making sauerkraut dumplings, but the spicy cabbage with a sweet and spicy taste offset part of the sourness and was very appetizing.
Shen Xingqi knew there was a new dish as soon as she heard the name, and said yes with great anticipation.
So we entered the small courtyard and started working in full swing. The washed jar was placed on one side. Onions, glutinous rice noodles, ginger, garlic, salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, cooking wine and other ingredients were placed on the entire small table.
Peel off the outer layers of fresh cabbage, leaving only the tender inner core. Cut it into quarters and apply salt to drive out the moisture. Then mix the seasoning into a marinade according to the proportion and apply it to each leaf. This takes three people a lot. effort.
The last step is to put the red cabbage dipped in chili into the jar and seal it tightly, waiting for fermentation.
"Okay, all that's left is to wait."
"Sister-in-law, how long will it take to eat this? It won't be like the salted duck eggs a few days ago, which also has to wait a month, right?"
"That's not the case. Spicy cabbage only needs to be fermented for seven days before you can eat it."
"Okay~"
When the three of them were celebrating "cleaning out" the yard, Su Zhan led a few people from the front yard to the backyard. Two black mountains were vaguely visible as he walked behind him.
what?
This is not the New Year or the festival, so why are there big items delivered again?
"Ma'am, miss."
Su Zhan saluted the two of them, "The hunters near Zhuangzi in the suburbs went to the mountains to hunt two four-hundred-pound wild boars. The steward saw that the game was fresh and rare, so he bought it and gave it to the master as a tooth-beating sacrifice. What do you think we should do with it?" "
Cheng Xi: "."
Shen Xingqi and Wangshu: "."
