After sending away Brother Liangliang, who was reluctant to fall in love with his grandfather, he was held by his grandfather and went back with his hands. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info can see that although they got along for a short time this time, grandpa and brother Liangliang got along well.
So that the two ends are relieved. recalled that Brother Liangliang was nervous when she came, as if he was afraid that he would perform better than him and snatch his grandfather's reward, and he wanted to laugh at both ends.
I hope that in the near future, Brother Liangliang can truly feel the care of his grandfather, and the grandfather and grandson can establish a deep relationship.
"Sir, he is sick and difficult to heal. Red rice dumplings for morning cooking. Grow your own cabbage and pickle it into a shallot in the dumpling. The fat onion is fine, the sesame oil is slow to flame, and the soup cake is like silk. A cup in the morning and evening is harmless, and the immortals are infatuated. ”
This poem by Zhu Dunru "Mr. Chaozhong Cuo is greedy and difficult to heal", the sentence in it is "self-planted cabbage in the furrow, pickled into shallots." The description is sauerkraut, which shows that there were quite a lot of sauerkraut controls in the Song Dynasty.
There is also the sentence that people are familiar with later: Cuihua, sauerkraut!
If there's one food that's essential in the Tohoku, it's sauerkraut. It is a delicacy that can be enjoyed by any class of people, and it solves the problem of lack of vegetables in winter.
Sauerkraut is not only delicious, but also retains the nutrients in cabbage to the greatest extent, rich in vitamin C, amino acids and other nutrients.
Therefore, after the autumn harvest, whether it is in the city or in the countryside, whether it is a cadre, a worker, or a peasant, every household will buy hundreds or even thousands of catties of Chinese cabbage, dry it in front of and behind their houses, and prepare the sauerkraut that will accumulate after the frost falls.
In the Northeast, every family has such a big vat and a round stone, which are essential tools for accumulating sauerkraut.
After picking a day with good weather and full sun, a large pot was set up in the courtyard of the Zhou family, and the family went into battle together, preparing to accumulate a large vat of sauerkraut and keep it for the winter.
Grandpa and Dad were in charge of brushing the vat and stones with boiling water, while Grandma and Mom were busy plucking the cabbage from the wilted and rotten leaves, and then putting them in the boiling water one by one to scald them and remove them to cool.
When the blanched cabbage cooled, my mother put the cabbage into the vat layer by layer, and at each yard, my grandmother sprinkled some coarse salt and peppercorns. When the vat is almost full, it is pressed with a large stone that has been brushed and filled, and then filled with sweet well water.
In the whole process, whether it is a tool or a human hand, there must be no oil, otherwise the whole vat of sauerkraut will be wasted, because it will definitely rot.
All that's left is waiting, and after a month, the delicious sauerkraut will be ready to eat. The ambient temperature of storage should also be suitable. About ten degrees, not too hot, otherwise the sauerkraut will rot.
You can't wait, take it out early and eat it, there is no fully fermented sauerkraut, the nitrite content is very high, which is not good for the body.
Basically, the method of accumulating sauerkraut is similar in every household, with some subtle differences. If you like to eat crispy, you don't need to blanch the cabbage with boiling water, but rinse it and marinate it. However, after eating his own sauerkraut all his life, Erwei still likes his own soft sauerkraut.
Throughout the winter, the lives of people in the Northeast are inseparable from sauerkraut. Erduan also heard from her mother that when she was young, she didn't have any shampoo, and she used sauerkraut water to wash her hair.
Mother's long black and thick hair, is it nourished by sauerkraut water?
There is also a person who is said to be poisoned by soot, and drinking some sauerkraut water can also relieve it. It's probably all dirt in the world.
The highlight is naturally to talk about what sauerkraut can do. The first dish is naturally sauerkraut and white meat, and the top spot in the pig-killing dish.
Sauerkraut can not only relieve greasyness, but also neutralize the fat in the meat, and also improve the freshness. Stew sauerkraut with a soup made of big bones, not to mention the taste, you can make a bowl without eating.
This second course, let's talk about sauerkraut powder. The sauerkraut is cut into thin strips, stir-fried with pork belly, and then soaked sweet potato flour is added to make a stir-fried dish of fine spring cakes.
Besides, I have to say that the dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut are the dumplings. Basically, if you ask a Northeast person what kind of dumplings they like to eat, eight out of ten will say sauerkraut filling.
Every time my mother cuts sauerkraut, she will leave the sauerkraut core and give it to grandpa and dad, and sometimes the two ends and the shape are also eaten a little, and the sour ones are quite appetizing.
This sauerkraut cutting is also a standard for testing whether the daughter-in-law of a family is a clever daughter-in-law or a lazy mother-in-law. When the clever daughter-in-law cuts the sauerkraut, she will first slice the cabbage from the middle, and then cut it into shreds, so that the shredded sauerkraut is thin and neat. Lazy woman, naturally save this process, and cut it when you deal with it.
After accumulating their own sauerkraut, Zhou Jinglin and his wife took their children to the town on the weekend.
The cabbage has already been brought to a cart, and grandma has also dried it. When Zhou Jinglin and his family came, except for the grandfather who shook his hand, the family also moved.
My aunt also rests on Sundays, so there are enough people. At the second end, I went to my uncle's house to take classes, and when I came back, the sauerkraut had been accumulated in the big vat in my grandmother's warehouse.
The younger brother Dudu was being held in the arms of his grandmother, and it was the first time that the aunt saw the second end enter the house, and hurriedly beckoned the second end to come over and eat hazelnuts.
In autumn, my grandmother also followed a few old ladies who knew each other up the mountain a few times, and the mushrooms and hazelnuts were not less.
"The hazelnuts on the Daqing Mountain in our Tunzi are much older, and I can pick them up halfway up the mountain. While eating, the two ends chattered with their aunt.
"Don't run blindly into the mountains, don't drill into the dense forest, remember?" Chu Ruiqin told uneasily, this naughty bag at the second end is very bold.
"Auntie, am I so bad? I know the danger. "The second end is depressed, is she so unreliable in my aunt's heart?
Dotting the tip of the small nose at the two ends, Chu Ruiqin looked suspicious. "You have a criminal record, so you have to ring the alarm bell from time to time, and tighten the little rope. ”
"Alas, I can see it, auntie, you treat me as a habitual offender. Shaking his head, he teased his aunt at both ends. It won't be long before my aunt is about to get married, and she is actually reluctant in her heart.
If you want to talk about my aunt's marriage, she has a lot of ingredients. Whether she can be happy or not, she doesn't know. But at least she helped her aunt avoid an unhappy marriage, and she only hoped that Uncle Jin would be her aunt's lover and not let her down.
But optimistically, Aunt and Uncle Jin fell in love at first sight, and they fell in love with each other again. And it has also gone through a big test, the two of them should have the same heart, right?
I only hope that my aunt will marry into the family of the head of the military region and be able to adapt to such a family. Otherwise, she would have hurt her aunt.
Fortunately, the second end knows the character of the aunt very well, the aunt is not the kind of girl who is soft and weak, she is confident and resolute, and she especially likes to face difficulties. I believe that when she encounters difficulties and pressure, she will deal with them well, and use her own efforts to gain the approval of her in-laws and adapt to her new life. (To be continued.) )
