―――――――――――― Dividing Lines――――――――――――

One day later, Grandpa and Uncle Li discussed, so they went to the town together to buy some vats, jars, salt, and some spices designated by Yang Yun. Yang Yun needs several ingredients to pickle the pickles: salt, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, fennel, rice wine, sugar, and it would be more perfect if there were chili peppers, but unfortunately Yang Yun has been in Zhoujia Village for so long and has never seen a chili plant.

Grandpa, they borrowed Uncle Wednesday's ox cart to go to town and buy all the things they wanted to pickle. Grandpa, they bought two large jars, and dozens of jars, Yang Yun looked at the house full of countless jars, and expressed helplessness. In the future, we will have to find another place to store these jars, so that it is not a way to pile them in the yard.

Some of the jars are piled up to the Li family, if the pickles are very popular with everyone, they can open a small vegetable processing factory in Zhoujia Village in the future, and then prepare a large warehouse to store the jars of these pickles.

Soon it was the day to harvest radishes and cabbage, everyone had no work in winter, several familiar families in the village, knowing that the Yang family and the Li family had planted a few acres of vegetables this year, today was the day when the two families were going to harvest cabbage and cabbage, and they took the initiative to come to the field to help pull radishes and cut cabbage.

With the help of the villagers, the vegetables in the field were harvested quickly, Yang Yun was not worried that the vegetables were stolen, and every household planted radishes and cabbages in winter, and the cabbages and radishes in the field were given to others, and people would not want them. Radish and cabbage picked back home, Yang Yun asked the villagers to help pickle radish and kimchi, Yang Yun had asked the villagers in advance, asked them if they would like to learn pickles, if they wanted, they would stay to help, Yang Yun taught them for free.

The villagers who helped naturally stayed, they knew that Yang Yun not only knew how to cook, but also had good pickling skills, and this time Yang Yun said that they wanted to pickle small dishes that they had never eaten, and they were all looking forward to Yang Yun and would teach them what kind of side dishes to pickle.

Yang Yun commanded the villagers, pickled radish and kimchi together, this pickled radish is different from last year, this year's radish is mainly spiced and sweet, in the past, people in Zhoujia Village were pickled salted radish, Yang Yun wanted to sell dried radish as a side dish, so this time to pickle a few, everyone has not eaten dried radish.

Yang Yun cleaned the vat and jar that her grandfather bought, and dried them for later use. Yang Yun added water and salt to one of the large vats, and mixed the two things in proportion. Raw radishes are harvested from the ground, the leaves are removed, cleaned, and then thrown into a large vat to soak in salt water. Soak the raw radish in salted water for at least an hour, then scoop up the radish and put it on a clean mat to dry. The process of pickling radish is more complicated, and it has to go through a period of repeated drying before it can be seasoned into the jar.

After the radish was soaked in salted water and taken out to dry, Yang Yun commanded the villagers to pickle the pickles. Chinese cabbage should first peel off the old leaves, or yellowed leaves, then wash and dry, and then cut the Chinese cabbage into pieces, a cabbage can be cut in half, or four pieces, too large cabbage must be cut into four pieces, so that it is easier to pickle.

Yang Yun boiled a few pots of water, then added salt (80 grams of salt per 1 kilogram of water), and after the salt water cooled, the salt water was evenly poured into those jars, and the amount of water was about 10%-20% of the capacity of the jars, and there was no need to put too much. Just put a little more salt than usual when cooking, and it will feel salty. The jar of pickles must be kept clean and oil-free, if the jar has oil stains, the pickles can easily become moldy.

In the jar with salted water, you can put the right amount of ingredients, and the ingredients can be added appropriately according to various tastes. If you like meat, you can add some peppercorns, and you can put about 20 to 30 peppercorns in the jar, as well as a small amount of garlic and ginger slices. If you have a sweet tooth, you can add a small amount of sugar to the jar. The most important thing about pickled kimchi is to add a small amount of vinegar and rice wine, vinegar can accelerate the fermentation time of kimchi, and rice wine can play a role in sterilization.

Once these ingredients are stirred in the jar, you can put in the washed and chopped cabbage. After the cabbage is placed, the jar is sealed, placed in a cool and dry bath place, and pickled for about 7 days before being taken out and eaten. Every time Yang Yun does a step, she carefully explains it to the villagers, and the villagers have learned it very well, as long as they learn it once, they will be able to pickle kimchi.

A few acres of radishes and cabbage, the Yang family and the Li family kept a part of it, and when the winter greens came to eat, the rest of the cabbage and radishes were all pickled into side dishes. With everyone's help, it took two days to pickle the cabbage and put it in the jar, and after a few days of kimchi flavoring, you can take it out for everyone to taste.

The turnips were soaked in salt water for a day, and in the evening, the two families threw the turnips into the salt water tank to soak in the salt water, and then scooped up the turnips and threw them into a big pit covered with straw. Yang Yun asked her grandfather to dig it first, and then spread a layer of clean straw. After the radish is taken out of the salt water tank, it is thrown into the pit, and the radish is pickled in a layer of radish and a thin layer of salt. Finally, cover with a thick layer of straw and wait for the next day to take out the radish and turn it over.

After two or three days of repeated operation, the radish has gradually become soft, and after the radish becomes soft, when the radish is collected into the pit in the evening, sprinkle a thin layer of salt first, and then Yang Yun asks Uncle Li and Yang Yong to wash their feet, and then stand barefoot on the radish pile and step lightly, so that the salt particles can seep into the radish, and the radish is spread on the mat and turned over the next day.

After another three or four days, the two families washed the radishes one by one with clean water, then put them into bamboo baskets and sprinkled them with a thin layer of salt. The top of the bamboo basket containing the radish is covered with clean straw, and then a large stone is pressed on top of the bamboo basket, which can be squeezed to squeeze out the acid water contained in the radish. The radish is pressed against the stone, squeezed with sour water for one night, and the next day the radish is taken from the bamboo basket and taken to the mat to dry.

In this way, after three or four days of continuous drying, after the radish is dried to eighty percent, ingredients such as star anise, fennel, aged wine, brown sugar, and slightly kneaded can be loaded into the jar to compact, the mouth of the altar is sealed, and it is pickled for about half a month, which is the pickled radish side dish with aromatic smell.

The materials for pickled radishes can be put according to their favorite flavors, and Yang Yun's pickled radishes this time have made several flavors, including spiced, spicy, and shrimp paste flavors. Shrimp paste is when the fish were put in the pond, Yang Yong and Dabao caught a lot of shrimp in the river, Yang Yun boiled the river shrimp into shrimp paste, and the radish pickled in shrimp paste is absolutely delicious.

When pickling radishes, Yang Yun also pickled ten jars of crispy radish, the pickling method of crisp radish is similar to pickled kimchi, except that the radish should be cut into strips first, and then poured into a cold boiled water jar with sugar, vinegar and salt, and then the jar was sealed and preserved, and the crisp radish could be eaten in about 5 days.

After more than half a month of busy work, I finally pickled all the radishes. Yang Yun looked at the mountains of jars at home, and her heart was mixed, happy that these jars were used to exchange money, and worried that the space at home was really small, and now the Yang family only had the aisle left to go, Yang Yun thought in her heart, and quickly sold these pickles and radishes to clear the space for the home.

The pickles can be eaten in about 7 days, Yang Yun has already taken a few jars of pickles and distributed them to the villagers to taste, and the villagers said that they were delicious, and they had never eaten such delicious pickles before. Yang Yun asked everyone to take some of their own cabbage to pickle, and in winter, they always eat cabbage and radish, and it is not bad to eat pickled side dishes occasionally.

On the day when Grandpa and they went to the town to deliver salted eggs, Yang Yun took two jars of pickled radishes and kimchi to the Zhu family's restaurant. In winter, hens no longer lay eggs, and Yang Yun notified Chow Tai Fook to stop buying raw eggs in mid-November. In November, there are very few people selling raw eggs, today is the last time the Yang family sent salted eggs to the Zhu family's restaurant, this is the last batch of goods, and the pickled salted eggs will have to wait for spring in the future.

Yang Yun took pickled radish and pickles to Zhu's house, took out the pickles and pickled radishes for the big shopkeeper to taste, and the big shopkeeper tasted the pickles and immediately bought the pickles of the Yang family. There are too few dishes in winter, and the pickles of several flavors brought by Yang Yun have added some "vitality" to the Zhu family's restaurant. Because the radish has not been pickled for a long time, the taste is a little light, and it will take a while to add more sweetness, Yang Yun asked the big shopkeeper to buy the pickled radish back, and then take it out for about half a month to cook.

Yang Yun's pickled pickles were very delicious, and naturally they were all contracted to the Zhu family's restaurant, Yang Yun sent two jars of pickles to Dr. Xu, as well as Kong Zhongkan, the two families each left three jars for self-consumption, and the rest of the pickles were all pulled away by the Zhu family's restaurant. Yang Yun told the big shopkeeper that the jar of kimchi should not be discarded, and after a while, the Yang family went to the town to pull the jar back, and the big shopkeeper naturally said that he would keep the jar well, and he asked Yang Yun to pickle more small dishes and sell them to the restaurant.

The two families still have a few acres of mustard greens that have not been harvested, and these jars are taken back to be washed and reused. At night, Yang Yun sat in the house, accompanying her family to bake the fire, while counting the money earned these days, part of the money from selling salted eggs and pickled vegetables, and part of it had to be distributed to the Li family.

This time, I earned a total of 30 taels of silver from selling pickles, and I gave the Li family 15 taels of silver, as well as the money for the last few batches of salted eggs, and the two families each shared 10 taels of salted egg money. Yang Yun took out twenty-five taels of silver and asked her grandfather to hand over the silver to Uncle Li tomorrow, which was the money earned by the two families.

This year, the Yang family and the Li family, the two families have made a lot of money, and they will definitely be able to have a fat year, and now the New Year is not far away, as long as they are busy with things at home, they can rest. At this time last year, Yang Yun had been hiding in the house "Cat Winter", and this year Yang Yun couldn't even think about it, because there were too many things to do every day, and the previous days were gone.
