0429 Steamed vegetables

"Brother Hu, such a coincidence. Xu Yi stopped and greeted Hu Xinguang with a smile.

Speaking of which, Xu Yi wanted to call Hu Xinguang before.

Now that he has recruited enough, Hu Xinguang didn't call his niece over, and his niece hasn't contacted him, so I really don't know what the situation is now.

When Xu Yi also wanted to be empty, he called her and Chang Xiaomao over and signed the contract.

The weather is hot, and this sun is not always a place to chat, so Hu Xinguang took two steps and stood in the shadow under the canopy at the door.

If this is a supermarket in another place, I am afraid that it will really affect the traffic, and someone should come to catch up.

But this store is not big, and there is no one else in the store except the salesperson, which is really not a problem.

took out a tissue and wiped the sweat, Hu Xinguang said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I just came back from outside, and looking at the back, you may have just rushed over." You either don't go out every day, or you go out early, and I'm afraid of disturbing your reading, so I didn't look for you. ”

Xu Yi put the things on the ground and asked Hu Xinguang with a smile: "Brother Hu has something to do with me?"

Hu Xinguang threw the soaked tissue paper in his hand into the trash can by the door, and said with a smile: "Isn't it the one I told you last time, asking you to arrange an errand for my brother's daughter." It's been a few days, and I still want to call her to come and meet you one day, it's not like I can't always see you, so it's been delayed until now. ”

"It's a hot day, forget it, I haven't had much time in the past two days, why don't you ask her to contact me directly next month?"

Hu Xinguang nodded, "That's fine." How's your case going?"

"Still being renovated. I can't get enough of it. ”

"Have you found enough people?"

"Settled on a few. There are a few more that have to wait for letters. Originally, I wanted to find a few fewer people, but after doing the math, I found that the manpower was not enough, so I was ready to find a few more. ”

Hu Xinguang nodded, took out the phone and lowered his head to flip through the address book, "Do you have a phone, I'll give you my niece's contact information, and ask her to contact you or you contact her yourself." ”

Xu Yi pointed to the soy sauce bucket on the ground: "I'm just coming out to make soy sauce, and I really didn't bring a mobile phone." ”

It's just that I didn't bring it. His phone was still thrown along the river.

At this time, even if someone calls, they have to wait to come back and call again.

"Well, then you wait for me. As he spoke, Hu Xinguang turned around and entered the supermarket, and after a while, he took out a note and handed it to Xu Yi.

"My niece's name is Hu Qing, and this is her phone number. She seems to be going to training in the next few days, and it is estimated that it will be the end of the month after this training. ”

"It's such a coincidence, I'm going to train tomorrow. ”

Hu Xinguang shook his head, "I remember that you said that you did it here in the university town, so you might not be able to get together." She's there in Huaqiao. ”

Xu Yi also smiled and didn't say anything, this was just a casual remark. As for whether or not they can get together by chance, it doesn't matter at all. This is also a matter of knowing two days earlier and two days later.

Hu Xinguang pointed to the soy sauce bucket in Xu Yi's hand, and asked with a smile: "You buy so much soy sauce to pickle vegetables." ”

Xu Yi nodded, "Yes, I originally thought that I could survive until I finished the exam and then come back to get this, but it was too hot on a non-rainy day." If this dish is pickled any further, it may stink, so I took the dish out of the jar and dried it last night. ”

"It's been rainless for almost a month and a half, and the vegetable fields in the village really have to be pumped almost every day, and if it doesn't rain anymore, the vegetable farmers are afraid that it will be difficult to make money. ”

Hu Xinguang also sighed, saying that the land was rented out, and it was all the vegetable farmer's business to lose money and make money. However, if the vegetable farmer can't make money, then it will be difficult to rent the land, which will really affect the income of the villagers.

"You don't even need soy sauce when you just put it on the sun. ”

"I don't need it, but it's not like I just happened to buy it when I was free, and I can save the time to buy it now. If it is sunny for a few days, it will not take more than a week, and I will send it to you when it is ready. ”

"You look like you have to take the exam in a few days, right?"

Xu Yi nodded, "I'll take the exam after the training, and I've been reading books in the past few days." ”

"I don't have anything to do this day, do you want me to help?"

As he spoke, Hu Xinguang was also a little embarrassed. People are still busy with exams, and they don't want to open their mouths and just wait for food.

But I want to do this job myself, but I really don't know how to do it well, so I also added with some confidence: "But you have to tell me how to get ......it."

Xu Yi smiled, "I'll just come by myself, it's not like reading books all day long, so don't be stupid." I have a lot to do during this time, and I really have to get up early and be greedy for darkness to read, and if I don't have time to do this, then what else can I do. ”

Hu Xinguang nodded, and no longer insisted. "Then I won't delay you, I'll invite you to drink when you're busy. ”

Back at home, Xu Yi directly carried a bucket of soy sauce into the space. I directly brought a bamboo plaque, put the dried plum vegetables in the bucket and carefully washed it with water.

This is not only to remove the sediment that has been trapped in the drying process, but also to wash away some of the excess salt during the salting process.

After washing it several times, the water used to wash the vegetables became a little clearer, so Xu Yi put the vegetables into the bamboo plaque and drained the water absorbed in the dried plum vegetables.

Xu Yi took a knife and cut the dried plum vegetables into thin strips, poured in some soy sauce, mixed well, and steamed them directly in the pot.

It didn't take long for a faint aroma to waft out of the steamer, and the subtle taste of soy sauce was mixed with the rich aroma of the vegetables, which made Xu Yi feel unusually familiar and cordial.

After steaming for more than an hour, Xu Yi turned off the power of the steamer and uncovered the top layer of steamer.

The umeboshi inside was not as firm as before, and it was all soft and collapsed, apparently completely steamed.

Xu Yi picked up a little bit with chopsticks, and the plum vegetables that exuded a strong fragrance were very different from before.

Not only did the color change a faint brownish-red, but it even looked a little translucent in the light of this space, as if carved from amber.

Xu Yi put the dried vegetable in his mouth and tasted it carefully. Nodding in satisfaction. The faint soy sauce flavor did not damage the flavor of the umeboshi at all. This already very strong aroma of dried plum vegetables adds a faint fragrance. Although it has not yet been processed. Xu Yi can also say with certainty that this is definitely the best tasting plum dish he has ever eaten in his life.

Remove the steamer and spread it out to dry, so that the dried plum vegetables inside can cool down a little, Xu Yi poured all the dried plum vegetables inside into the clean bamboo plaque and continued to dry. This time, you don't have to wait for it to dry completely, just dry it until it is half dry, and then pour a little soy sauce and steam it again. This process often has to be repeated two or three times before you can finally get a plump and oily plum dish.

Don't talk about such a barrel of soy sauce. Even if the remaining bucket is counted, this is not enough for Xu Yi to process so many dried plum vegetables, but he didn't think about processing all the vegetables like this.

This is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and not many people in the village are willing to do it.

Most families in the village basically do less of this every year, keeping them for guests or giving them away, and most of them are dried directly in the sun.

Xu Yi is naturally the same, so he is only going to get less, and most of the remaining plum vegetables are still directly shredded and packed.

In this way, when you are just waiting to eat, you can directly use water and wash it before eating. In fact, the dried plum vegetables in this space are not bad, and the ones in the yard have not been dried. The color has changed. The color of this dried plum vegetable in the space is still green and yellow, and it has a faint luster. The appearance is obviously a lot stronger.

After these were exposed, Xu Yi then got busy, took a bamboo plaque, and processed the dried plum vegetables inside. After shredding and bagging all the remaining plum vegetables, I went out of the space to take a look.

Fortunately, no one was looking for him, and the time was only past eleven o'clock, obviously he wanted to wait for Li Xiyan's classmates to come, and he had to wait for an hour or two.

Xu Yi didn't want to wait so stupidly, so he re-entered the space, took the plastic bucket with honey, and scooped a spoon of honey and tasted it.

Then he rinsed his mouth carefully, removed the taste from his mouth, and then scooped the honey from the vat and tasted it.

In contrast, Xu Yi put his mind at ease, this plastic bucket will not have any effect on the honey at all, and the honey has not produced any peculiar smell at all after being placed in the bucket for so long.

In this way, Xu Yi directly took all the empty buckets according to the method he had thought of before, and put the honey out of the large bucket and directly put it into the small bucket.

Seeing that the space is full of flowers, but there are not many bees flying, it is time to clean up the nectar in this hive.

I don't want to wait until I realize that the output in this space is decreasing, and then solve this problem.

Thinking like this, Xu Yi went directly to the two boxes of honey and shook them out. This again filled almost half a barrel in the vat.

Xu Yi also saw that this batch of honey was indeed different from the previous one, although this honeycomb was covered with a wax cap, it also showed a mottled color, no longer as white as snow before.

This undoubtedly also verified Xu Yi's idea, this honey is obviously not very pure.

Xu Yi also tasted the cut honey, the taste was still sweet, but it was really difficult to tell what the flavor was. The only thing that Xu Yi can taste is that there is still a slight coolness in this honey, and obviously there must be mint honey in it.

Even, Xu Yi went to see the bees in those boxes, and saw that the beehives were indeed full of nest spleens, so he unceremoniously cut off several layers of nest frames, and then put all these nest frames at the bottom of the beehives.

The cut nest spleen naturally can't be disposed of with a honey shaker, and Xu Yi can only use two buckets, which can be kept and disposed of when it is empty.

After being busy with these, Xu Yi rested for a few hours, and after having lunch, he returned to Yanjiang.

thought that Li Xiyan and the others would be able to come over early, so Xu Yi waited for them in the room while reading.

But Xu Yi waited left and right without waiting for any news, and it looked like it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon. Xu Yi wanted to call and ask, but when the phone rang, Li Xiyan said that he and his sister had brought those few over.

Xu Yi didn't think much about it, and went downstairs directly to take them upstairs, and he also had some doubts in his heart.

Li Xiyan's eyes were a little red, and he had obviously cried before.

It's definitely a good thing to get a job, and I'm happy to watch them go in the morning.

It's only been a few hours, what the hell is wrong with this girl? (To be continued......
