Chapter 136 A New Home
The four of them carefully cleaned the inside and outside of the house, and hired a porter to transport the luggage from the inn to the house.
Then Chunyu asked Zhang Huzi to go out of the room, and she took Chun Tao and Zao'er to lay out the bottom of the bed cover, and the things were roughly tidied up.
Chunyu lived in one room, Chuntao and Zao'er lived in one room, and Zhang Huzi lived in the house against the stove. Their rooms are all quite complete. In addition to the bed, the standing cabinet, bedside table, dresser and flower shelf are all in one place. And Uncle Jiang also said that so many pieces of furniture were rented out and bought from scratch. So you don't have to worry about the bad things left by the original owner.
Chunyu likes her room very much, and when she opens the window, she can see the flower garden not far away, if it is full of all kinds of flowers, it should be a beautiful mood. And there are not many food sold here, so it is quite quiet here when the capital is the busiest in the morning and evening.
And after a qiē was roughly sorted out, Chunyu asked Zhang Huzi, who had returned from the inn, to go around the street and let him know where to buy the things they needed to open a store, and which one cost less. After all, they are not familiar with the life here, and they are seen by those people who are not good-looking, and maybe they can lie to them.
As for the three girls' families, they went to the market to buy some daily necessities, rice, flour, oil, salt, ginger, vinegar tea, and the like.
It's just that when she walked to the place where the jars were sold, Chunyu's heart suddenly moved, remembering that when she was at home, her mother pickled cucumbers and radish strips, spicy cabbage, etc., boiled white porridge with steamed buns, but a simple meal was delicious.
So after all those things were enough, Chunyu bought three small clay pots, bought a bag of radishes, three or four cabbages that were not big or small, bought a lot of cucumbers, and bought more salt and spices.
This is all kinds of money, and it costs a little silver or two, which makes people smack. The things I bought here are only about half a month's worth of grain, and I spent so much, and I haven't bought expensive foods such as chickens, ducks, fish, sheep, and pork.
It seems that you have to work hard to earn money, otherwise you will have to sit and eat, and even life will be a problem.
Because there are too many things to buy, and when I think that the market is not too far from home, it is a starting price of 100 yuan to hire a porter. Chunyu didn't want to spend this unjust money to find a car, so the three of them returned home with big bags and small bags.
When I got home, I felt that both arms were sore and I couldn't lift them. Chunyu thought that tomorrow he would quickly get the little cart out and save himself from going shopping and shopping in the bazaar.
It's just that I didn't expect Chun Tao and Zao'er to take a sip of tea, and it was just a matter of telling Chunyu to sigh at his weak physique, obviously he has a strong heart!
So Chunyu didn't do it himself, moved a small pestle to sit on the begonia tree by the well, and let Chun Tao and the two of them hit the well water first, and waited to see the small body of the jujube but quickly hit a bucket of water, and the heart sighed again.
Then she commanded Chun Tao and Zao'er to wash the three small jars she bought.
She first picked out some small and thin-stemmed radishes, washed them first and dried them on a dustpan, then cut them vertically into strips, sprinkled a thin layer of salt on them, and after pressing them tightly, she poured a layer of soju on the floating head, and then covered the tile cover with oiled paper on the mouth, and the seal was airtight.
In the end, she took the remaining larger radish and cut it into slices to dry, put it in the jar, put it into a layer of salt, and then rolled the ginger, tangerine peel, eight peppers, peppercorns, fennel, etc., and poured vinegar into the radish, which was the same method and sealed the mouth.
The cabbage is directly used in the chili sauce bought, and the leaves are evenly spread layer by layer, and then put it in a jar and sealed.
After these two things were ready, Chunyu found that he had used all the jars, so he had to stop pickling cucumbers. When you wait for the evening, you can have a cold cucumber.
When Zhang Huzi came back, Chunyu and the others had already made pickles, and they began to take care of the few weeds in the yard.
Chunyu thought that he might be busy for a while in the future, and there would be no time to tidy up their new home, so he thought about tidying up the yard.
Some weeds have emerged from the cracks of the slate bricks on the ground, and there are no flowers in the flower beds, so the spring rain has loosened the soil for the time being, and I will wait for tomorrow to go to the market to buy some more flowers and seeds, or simply plant vegetables.
The begonia fruit by the well was also ripe, and Chunyu asked Chun Tao to get the basket over, and the three of them picked a basket of begonia fruit after a while.
"Eldest sister, can you eat this fruit?" Chun Tao asked hurriedly, she looked at these red and bright little fruits were quite beautiful, and they smelled fruity. So her eldest sister asked her to pick it up, and it definitely won't be playing!
"Well, you taste it,......" Chunyu said, but he took a fruit directly, wiped it with a handkerchief without washing it, and then took a bite lightly. At this time, there are no pesticides, the air quality is good, and the fruit is clean and tight.
Let's say that after Chunyu took a bite, he only felt that although the fruit was small, the flesh was juicy, sweet, sour and crispy.
According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, this begonia fruit also has the effect of quenching thirst, strengthening the spleen and stopping diarrhea. It also treats symptoms such as indigestion, food accumulation and bloating. Moreover, the begonia flower is also effective, which can dispel rheumatism, calm the liver and relax tendons.
In addition to these medicinal effects, in addition to raw food, begonia fruit can also be brewed to make candied fruit, make jam, fruit vinegar, fruit danpi, etc...... The benefits are simply amazing.
"Ah, the taste is really good, sweet and sour and crisp." Chun Tao took a bite, then said with a smile, and provoked the jujube to pick one directly from the tree to eat.
Even Zhang Huzi, who doesn't like sweets, also tasted one and thought it was good.
Seeing this, Chunyu was also moved, and asked Zhang Huzi to go to the market and buy some jars of different sizes and came back.
She made the fruit wine in larger jars and marinated several jars of candied fruit in smaller jars. I tried to make a jar of fruit vinegar with vinegar koji, and the jam was also mixed with some honey to make fragrant jam. It's just that the fruit dan peel was not successful, and the failed products also went into the belly of spring peaches and jujubes.
Chunyu looked at Chun Tao and the two of them like kittens, smiling and smiling, but she remembered Zhou Mengya. secretly thought about waiting for these to be done, and then pondered a few other things to eat to send Zhou Mengya some.
Thinking of this, Chunyu suddenly remembered that if nothing else, Zhou Mengya would be her sister-in-law in the future, how could she have a sense of being a sister-in-law now!
