Chapter 20: Pickled Sauerkraut (1)
"Yun Fang, do you pickle pickled cabbage this year?" In the evening, the daughter-in-law of the big bolt was sitting in the yard and saw Yun Fang's girl walking home, thinking that she should have just gotten off work, and asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"You're alone, if you don't pickle, I'll pick a few more and I'll bring yours out." The daughter-in-law said with a smile.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, I also thought about asking you to help me pickle a vat in two days, I dried all the dishes, but I don't know how to pickle." Shen Yunfang picked up the fence wall and watched the big bolt's daughter-in-law pick cabbage leaves with her hands and feet.
"Oh, you can't eat much by yourself, or don't pickle it, just come to the house and get one when you want to eat it." The daughter-in-law of the big bolt did not stop talking.
"No need, I planted a lot of cabbage this year, and I can't eat it without pickling sauerkraut, so it's better to pickle it." It's still the righteousness of having food at home and eating comfortably.
"Okay, when I'm done pickling at home, I'll help you pickle it tomorrow." The daughter-in-law of the big bolt was not persuaded either, and agreed to come down.
"That's great." Shen Yunfang was also happy, "Hey, why didn't you see Brother Da Shu?" ā
"He, go to the child's grandmother's house to pick up the child." The daughter-in-law couldn't stop smiling at the thought that her girl would be able to come back in the evening.
"Oh, Xiaojuan is coming back, so you have to take her to my house tomorrow." Shen Yunfang didn't have much impression of the little girl from the big swoo family, but remembered that she seemed to be a very quiet little girl who was not in good health.
"What do you take her for, she will make a mess if we work." The number on her lips fell, but the smile on her face showed her true thoughts.
"Xiaojuan is not a child who makes trouble, so it is decided, tomorrow night, you bring Xiaojuan with you, and I will fry pumpkin seeds for you to eat." After Shen Yunfang finished speaking, he walked to his house.
When he went home, Shen Yunfang turned over the pumpkin seeds drying in the yard with his hands, they were almost dry, and they could be fried tomorrow morning, and they would be kept for entertaining the little guests tomorrow night.
Then she began to get busy, first preparing dinner for herself, steaming a pot of rice, then stir-frying shredded potatoes, stir-frying cabbage slices, stewing a nest melon or something.
In the summer, a circle of nest melons was planted in the yard, and two days ago, Shen Yunfang took back a total of sixteen large nest melons, and let her put them in the cellar.
In order to be afraid that she is too accustomed to using the space by herself, it will lead to flaws in front of people in the future, so now as long as it is something that can see the light, she will put it at home and store it normally, and only those who can't show up now will use the space.
Nest melons are easy to store, so Shen Yunfang put them all in the cellar, as well as most of the sweet potatoes and potatoes that were harvested, and the leftover grain eaten by his own family, etc.
The next night, as soon as she finished eating at home, the eldest daughter-in-law led her little girl, Xiaojuan, to come.
"Yo, Xiaojuan is here, let's see what delicious food my aunt has left for you." Shen Yunfang picked up the child on the kang, and then dragged it over a basket next to her, which was the pumpkin seeds she fried in the morning.
"Thank you, Aunt Fang." The little girl was a little scared, but she still gave Shen Yunfang a smile, and then said in a small voice.
"Oh, Xiaojuan is so good." Shen Yunfang touched the little girl's two small brushes and said with a smile.
This time, the little girl's smile widened, revealing her two small front teeth. Children also need to be praised.
"It's not productive." The daughter-in-law of the big bolt scolded her girl with a smile, and complained to Shen Yunfang, "What are you doing with her, it's not too much for the New Year." "Pumpkin seeds or something, they will not be fried until the New Year's holiday, and there are few losers like Shen Yunfang.
"Our Xiaojuan is so obedient, who will we eat if we don't give Xiaojuan food, right, Xiaojuan?" Shen Yunfang teased the child.
I don't know if it's because I'm getting older in my heart, and she likes it from the heart to the outside when she sees such a quiet little girl.
"Children don't like that." The daughter-in-law smiled and saw that her little baby was holding a pumpkin seed, and sat there seriously with a few small front teeth, which was very cute.
"What, it's okay to eat a few pumpkin seeds, Xiaojuan, you wait, wait for Aunt Fang to go to the county in two days to buy you candy to eat."
"Okay, let her play in the house by herself, let's quickly pickle the sauerkraut for you." The daughter-in-law doesn't like to take advantage of others, especially Shen Yunfang, who is alone, so she hurriedly reminded her that she still has something to do.
So the two of them went to the yard, because Shen Yunfang was not familiar with the work of pickling sauerkraut, so she listened to the instructions of the daughter-in-law of the big bolt and boiled a large pot of boiling water in a big iron pot. He turned out a half-man-high vat from under the window in the backyard, washed the well in the backyard, and rolled it into the hall, scalding it with boiling water to disinfect it.
Then she began to pick cabbage leaves with her daughter-in-law.
"You're going to the county in two days?" The daughter-in-law of the big bolt just heard Yun Fang's words and seemed to mean this.
"Well, there is a shortage of everything at home, I can't buy it, and it's going to snow, I don't have cotton clothes for the winter, I have to hurry up to see if there is cotton for sale, buy some and come back to make cotton clothes." Shen Yunfang explained.
"Also, you can't survive the winter." The daughter-in-law looked at what she was wearing and nodded. "Although our brigade also has a supply and marketing cooperative, if you want to buy cloth and cotton, you still have to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county, where everything is complete. However, after waiting for two days to catch the market, you can go to the market and see it. ā
And the set? Shen Yunfang really didn't know about this, at this time, it wasn't that it was not allowed to buy and sell privately, why was there a bazaar.
"Why don't you look like you remember, yes, your mother never took you there before." The daughter-in-law looked at Shen Yunfang with a surprised look on her face, which was quite funny, but then she thought of Yunfang's temper and was relieved.
"Sister-in-law, there will be a set one day, sister-in-law, whether you are going or not, or let's go together." Shen Yunfang's eyes were sparkling and she looked at the daughter-in-law of the big bolt.
"Haha, what am I going to do, I don't have anything to buy." The daughter-in-law really wants to go, but she only has the two dollars in her pocket, and she still keeps it for her daughter's medical treatment, so she can't spend it indiscriminately.
"If you don't buy it, you can take a look, I haven't been to the market since I'm so old, and I can't find a place to go." Shen Yunfang said with emotion.
The daughter-in-law of the big bolt was amused by her and laughed out loud, "Don't worry, the commune is such a big place, you can go where there are the most people." ā
"Hehe, sister-in-law, my family lacks everything, and I want to buy a lot of things, when the time comes, you can follow me, you can help me carry some things, and you can also give me a staff officer." Shen Yunfang saw that the daughter-in-law was a little hesitant, she wanted to make a good relationship, of course she tried her best to encourage it.
Then the daughter-in-law couldn't stand Shen Yunfang's nagging, and promised to go to the market with her when she was in the market, and the two of them also had a companion.
