Chapter 161: Radish Cake
Seeing that it was not early, Zhou Muhan told Wang Yi to send Gu Xinyu back to Taoyuan Villa safely, while Zhou Muhan stood on the bluestone road, his figure was like a pine, and he didn't move for a long time
Most men of his age have children and daughters, but they are not like him, and husbands and wives are still separated from each other
Zhou Muhan turned around and walked towards the barracks, at this time the roadside was cold, but the sky was unusually blue, he had ordered someone to reorganize the yard where he and Gu Xinyu used to live, renovate it inside and out, and open up a small pond in the courtyard, and wait for next spring, let people bring back lotus seeds from Jiangnan, and bring back a flower craftsman by the way
I believe Gu Xinyu will like it, he doesn't want to be so involved, in the future, the Guogong Mansion will still have to sit by himself, so what will it look like without a hostess
And out of a man's self-esteem, he has never regarded Taoyuan Villa as his home, after all, it is his daughter-in-law's dowry, and he can live in it, but it is not home!
Gu Xinyu, who returned to Taoyuan Villa, didn't expect Zhou Muhan to have other plans, she actually thought that she could live in Taoyuan Villa for the rest of her life
There are fewer and fewer Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng in the space, and Gu Xinyu was shocked to realize that he was too big-handed?
Then it was indifferent, it was better to be able to save people than to be idle in the space!
The cabbage in the sauerkraut shop has been almost dried, and it has been stripped of the moisture it was when it was first cut, and now it is time to start pickling the sauerkraut
Pickled sauerkraut in winter is made raw, and modern northerners love to eat pickled cabbage in winter. Dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut, pig-killing dishes for the New Year, sauerkraut stewed with pork belly, sauerkraut balls, sauerkraut fish, etc., are countless
Sauerkraut has a long history and has always been a favorite winter dish for residents in northern Chinese mainland
At that time, Zhang Zuolin's marshal's mansion was equipped with seven or eight sauerkraut jars, but it was often not enough to eat
Zhang Dashuai's son, that is, Zhang Xueliang's younger brother, Rear Admiral Zhang Xuesi, is the chief of staff of the PLA Navy. He was persecuted during the Cultural Revolution. When I was dying, I wanted to eat sauerkraut the most
It can be seen how important this sauerkraut occupies in the hearts of northerners
Sauerkraut is also one of the world's top three pickles.
Because it is not only easy to make, but also has a delicious and unique flavor. It is also good for digestion. It also has a health care effect. But Gu Xinyu can't say this, and no one can understand it. In this era, the most important thing is to fill their stomachs, and although the rich pay attention to health, the health in their minds is not balanced nutrition, vitamin supplementation or something
It's a big supplement or something, just eat ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum if you have nothing to do, what you want is to live a long life
Gu Xinyu thought to himself that from now on, this sauerkraut would become the favorite dish of the northern residents of the Zhou Dynasty.
In fact, pickling sauerkraut is very simple, very simple
The ingredient is Chinese cabbage, which the locals are accustomed to
When pickling sauerkraut, the cabbage must first be picked, and then the stump and rotten leaves, large leaves and yellow leaves, and dried in the sun for a few days, and Zheng and several hired workers did this work very well.
Zheng closed the courtyard door, and the veteran guarding the door stood a few steps away from the door
The next work is the most important, but also the most confidential, although simple, but if you haven't done it or seen it, then it will be difficult for you to get to the sky!
It is also known as waking up the dreamer with a word!
Gu Xin Yuzai carefully told everyone the pickling method, hygiene is the key, hands must be cleaned, and cabbage must not have rotten leaves and yellow leaves
The remaining step is to wash it with clean water, and then arrange it neatly in the vat, layer by layer, and place a layer of cabbage and sprinkle a layer of salt
Finally, a large vat has been filled with cabbage, the sleeve is two layers higher than the edge of the vat, and a large stone is pressed on top of the cabbage, and it is OK
But this is not the end, after three days, take the big stone on the cabbage and see how much water seeps out, depending on the situation, the total amount of water should not be too much, one foot away from the edge of the tank
Zheng and Aunt Du of Dujia Village suddenly realized that the method is so simple, but the requirements are very strict, I don't know what the taste of pickled cabbage is?
These people are all from Dujia Village, with a little daughter-in-law and a healthy mother-in-law, all of whom are responsible Dujia Village families, reliable and diligent
It was also the first time for them to come into contact with such a new thing, and they were full of enthusiasm, and several people continued to pickle other cabbages, while Zheng firmly remembered Gu Xinyu's advice and things that need to be taboo
Put the cabbage in the order in which they were pickled, so that you can add water three days later
Noon soon arrived, the veteran's daughter-in-law Ding and the veteran's wife had already prepared a meal, local materials, stewed a pot with cabbage and pork belly, what I didn't expect was that Ding's hands were extremely skillful, and the cooking skills were also a must, her branded radish shredded cake was crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside, and the fresh fragrance of the radish and the oil aroma of the dough cake were mixed together, and the taste was really amazing.
Originally, several daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law were embarrassed to sit and eat with Gu Xinyu, but in the end they didn't twist her, and Zheng took a few people and sat down a little nervously
"Third aunt, try it, this radish cake is so delicious," Gu Xinyu said while eating
Aunt Du took a bite carefully, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but say: "My wife has cooked all her life and eaten radishes for a lifetime, why didn't she think of putting shredded radishes in the cake and baking them together?" ”
Zheng also nodded in agreement: "Third aunt, there are more things you can't think of, you see the warm kang we live in now, how good it is, work on it, eat, and don't worry about freezing in the winter in the future."
Zheng continued: "I think that the eldest girl in our villa is like the gods in the sky, she knows everything, and she can do anything."
Gu Xinyu grinned, took a sip of soup and said: "Aunt Zheng, don't say that, there are a lot of things I don't understand, such as this radish cake, I also eat it for the first time, I didn't expect it to be so delicious, in fact, many things in the world are very simple, but because you can't think of it, it becomes complicated, as long as you use more brains, many things are universal."
Everyone nodded one after another, and after such a chat, the tense atmosphere just now began to gradually relax, and for a while, the atmosphere became warm.
After lunch, a few people began to continue pickling sauerkraut again, and the speed became faster and faster, they were originally from farm work, and they can be called handy to be these guys (to be continued). )
PS: What I eat at night is the radish cake, which is really crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside, fragrant and delicious, you can also try to make it, it is super delicious
