When Chen Xuejiao was collecting duck eggs in Weishan Lake, Li took Xueru and Jinghao at home to think of ways to make pickles.

In the past few days, Dafang's tea and egg business is good, and Zheng Huozi comes to the house every day to deliver some fresh eggs. Qi Ping is a clever man, sitting by the stove to collect money and find money, and gradually Li let go of his hand and let Qi Ping be responsible for selling tea eggs.

Xue Yao asked someone to send something back to the upper room, with hairpins, cloth, and food, and Zhao felt that his face was light and trembled. This time, without Mrs. Chen's instructions, she divided more than half of the things and sent them to Wen Yan, and Mrs. Chen, who was happy, praised the Zhao family as the most intimate everywhere, and Zhao's status was more stable in Mrs. Chen's eyes, just like an eyeball, she couldn't pull it out.

Xue Miao didn't understand the trick here, muttered her face, and privately complained that the Zhao family gave the golden hairpin to Wen Yan. Zhao said that the things sent by Xue Yaoming on the face were not good, and she pressed it at the bottom of the box, and couldn't help revealing that there would be a big happy event in the family in Layue.

It happened that Xue Ru went to pick leeks in the vegetable garden, listened to this, and went back to the house to talk to Li. Li secretly thought to himself, what kind of happy event could it be in Layue, could it be that Xue Yao was going to say kiss.

Although people from the Ding Mansion were full of strangeness several times, the Li family didn't think about Xue Yao going to the Ding Mansion as a concubine. In the mountains and villages, if you don't take concubines, it's all a matter of drama.

The Li family wanted to rely on Xue Yao's appearance to say that it was not difficult to say a good family business, although there was a bit of discord between him and the second room, and Xue Jiao also had Xue Yao's idea of changing relatives at the beginning, but the Li family was only deceived when Xue Yao was young. The essence is not bad, and I still hope that Xueyao can marry into a good family. After all, since she was so young, she went to Dingfu to be a maid, and no matter how good she was, she was still a maid. It's better to marry into a serious family and live a down-to-earth life.

Zhao saw the shadow of Xue Ru picking leeks, and secretly regretted that he shouldn't have said so much to Xue Miao, but now Xue Ru listened to it, and he didn't know how to arrange himself behind his back.

Zhao has been watching coldly in the past two days, although the Li family beat her and the Zhang family last time, but the Li family is still a person with a soft personality in essence, since Chen Xuejiao left, the Zhang family went to the pot house several times to beg for food. She didn't get angry, and occasionally gave her a few cakes, and she usually smiled herself. When Mrs. Chen pointed to Dafang and scolded Huai. Li Shi was also not angry. It's not at all like Xue Jiao at home, where she has to fight back with sharp teeth. Zhao decided in his heart that the occasional Li family's power was instigated by Chen Xuejiao, and now Chen Xuejiao is not at home. Take this opportunity to tidy up the big house and get out of the bad breath.

This little sassy fox, who is so young, has a bad stomach. Thinking of Chen Xuejiao, Zhao cursed fiercely in his heart, and if he didn't use the goods of the house for three days, he was also worthy of arguing with himself.

Zhao instructed Xue Miao again, took out a jasper bracelet from the box and put it on Xue Miao's wrist, letting her dissipate her anger. Keep a smile on your face in front of Mrs. Chen

Zhao got up and went to Mrs. Chen's room.

In the north wing, Chen Xiucai has been fed with ginseng soup these days, and the soup is cultivated. My body is not as weak as before, and I can sit up and read. Both Li and the child breathed a sigh of relief.

“…… You won't go to the leek field less in the future, don't go if we don't eat the leeks, in case your second aunt is spreading something bad, it won't be on your head. Li instructed Xueru.

Xueru nodded and said, "Mother, let's open a vegetable patch at the back of the house in the future." Every time I go to pick vegetables, I feel like my milk is watching me. It's uncomfortable. ”

Li thought for a while and said: "I think so too, it's just that it's about to be winter, and now it's not long to grow vegetables, and the vegetables in our yard are eaten first. ”

The two of them were talking, and Mrs. Chen scolded in the upper room.

“…… If you are asked to cut, you will cut, what are you doing with so many things? Old Lady Chen's voice was full of anger.

Chop? What to cut?

Li Shi and Chen Xueru glanced at each other.

I don't know who said something, Li and Chen Xueru didn't hear it clearly, so they heard Mrs. Chen angrily scolding: "Your wings are solid or what, you don't even listen to my words, let you cut it, you will cut it, if you don't cut it, you don't cut me." ”

Li and Chen Xueru stood up, stood under the eaves of the north wing, and quietly looked outside.

I saw Mrs. Chen come out with a sickle, and ran towards the leek field in the vegetable garden with her little feet. He was followed by Chen Zifu and Zhao.

"If you don't cut it, I'll cut it, I'll let you eat, eat an uncle's. I planted some leeks, I didn't eat them once, they all filled the dog's stomach. Mrs. Chen scolded while chopping.

Mrs. Chen brandished her sickle, and wherever she went, all the leeks fell to the ground, not chopping, but stepping on them with her feet.

The leeks are all stuffed into the dog's belly. Isn't this a blatant scolding of the big house? Since the last time Chen Xueru picked leeks and made dumplings, she felt that the leeks were fresh and tender, and she sat on the leek pie twice in a row, which was remembered by Mrs. Chen.

Chen Xueru looked at Li uneasily, and Li gave him a reassuring look.

"Mother, you go back to the house first, I'll cut it, I'll cut it this time." Chen Zifu was sweating profusely, and stepped forward to snatch the sickle from Mrs. Chen's hand.

"Mother, let's go back to the house first." Zhao held Mrs. Chen's hand and said, "Didn't you say that you have a headache these days?" ”

"I have a headache to death, or how to chop leeks. The smell of these leeks is too strong, I have a headache when I smell the smell of leeks this night, so I let me cut it, and I had diarrhea the night before, and I don't know what's going on. Mrs. Chen looked at Li and Chen Xueru under the eaves of the North Wing house, and said in a loud voice, "Black-hearted things, why did I have a stomach trouble before, I didn't eat a few dumplings you sent." ”

Li Shi was taken aback when he heard this, if it was impossible to say that there was a problem with the dumplings, because there was no problem with eating them at home, why did Mrs. Chen have a stomach upset after eating it.

Doubts are doubts, Li, as the daughter-in-law of the big house, also has to express concern, not to mention that Mrs. Chen pointed out that there was a problem with the dumplings before causing diarrhea.

"Mother, it's nothing, why don't you invite Lang Zhong to take a look. Diarrhea is no joke. Li smiled reluctantly, not mentioning the stubble of the dumplings.

Zhao took the bite and turned the topic to dumplings: "After eating a bowl of dumplings, I have diarrhea." I don't know if it's a problem with this dumpling or a problem with my mother's stomach. ”

The words all pointed to a bowl of dumplings sent by the big house.

Li knew in his heart that if there was a problem with the dumplings, according to Mrs. Chen's temperament, she would have made trouble as early as that night, and she could still hold it until now. Most likely because Xue Ru picked leeks just now and accidentally overheard Zhao's words, and Zhao instigated Mrs. Chen to take care of the big house.

"Mother, we also ate dumplings. It's nothing, maybe it's something else. I think I'd better ask Lang Zhong to take a look. Li said nonchalantly.

The Zhao family secretly hated in his heart, when did the Li family learn to be shrewd, and he actually took Lang Zhong to threaten him.

What Mrs. Chen thought was that she had to pay for the money in Lang Zhong by herself.

"It's all uneasy." Mrs. Chen scolded. Walked into the upper room.

Li let out a long sigh of relief.

Chen Zifu was chopping leeks, he could hear clearly the involvement of the upper room and the big room just now, and at this time, seeing Mrs. Chen enter the house, he was embarrassed to say to Li: "Sister-in-law, my mother has that temperament, and she can't change it for a lifetime." ”

Li smiled and said, "We all know that we can't do it for her to be small." ”

Chen Xueru couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Chen Zifu chopping all the leeks. The leeks are still tender. Whether it's dumplings or pies, it's excellent. Since the big house was separated, the meals in the upper room rarely changed tricks, and Mrs. Chen cooked a few meals and threw them away. Cooking closely with Zhao and Zhang, both of them have average cooking skills, but it's a pity that the vegetables in the vegetable garden.

Chen Zifu piled the chopped leeks on the edge of the ridge and prepared to throw them out.

Chen Xueru said to Li: "Mother, this leek can still eat a few stubbles, it's a pity to cut it now." Let's take this cut and eat it with pickles. ”

Li thought about it, and this leek is also thrown. It's better to use it as Xue Ru said. Leeks have a great flavor, and the pickles can be stored for a long time, and there are not many vegetables in winter, so they can be served on the table in winter, and they are delicious when they are sandwiched, dipped in dumplings, and wipeed cakes.

"Third brother, don't want this leek." Lee asked.

"No, sister-in-law, it's a pity for this leek." Chen Zifu finished cutting the last ridge of leeks and wiped his sweat, "I'll take it out and put it at the door, and whoever eats it in the neighborhood will take it, anyway, my mother won't eat it." ”

"It's a pity to throw it away, second brother, give me this leek." Li said.

Chen Zifu frowned: "It's okay, it's really a pity to throw it away." I'll put the pot at the door of the house for you after cutting this ridge. ”

Chen Zifu finished cutting the leeks and tied them up with a rope, and Xuewa helped put them at the door of the big pot house.

Li took Chen Xueru and Wang Jinghao to start busy.

Some of the leeks have already bloomed, and the white flower stalks are lovely, but such flowers are very bitter and need to be pickled.

Li divided the leeks into two parts, picking out the flowering ones and putting them aside first, and putting the non-flowering ones aside.

The leeks were full of mud, Chen Xueru and Jing carefully removed the mud, and removed the dead leaves, then took them to the side of the well to clean them, and put them on the dustpan to dry the water.

Li prepared ginger, onions and garlic, chopped them on the cutting board, and took half a jar of wine. Putting wine in the pickled vegetables was taught to Li by Chen Xuejiao, saying that the pickles made in this way are more fragrant.

After the water on the leeks dried, Chen Xueru followed Li's instructions, chopped the leeks and put them in a pot, put salt in them, let them stand for a while, and grabbed the leeks with her hands to force out the water inside. If the moisture inside cannot be forced out, the leeks are easy to spoil during the pickling process.

The water in the leeks was almost forced out, so Li mixed the green onions, ginger, garlic and leeks together, and used scissors to cut the red peppers into shreds and put them together. Continue to put salt in it, continue to grasp, let the salt fully blend, and finally add a spoonful of sugar, three spoons of sesame oil, and a spoonful of wine, and all the processes are over.

Jinghao moved the stall, brushed it clean and dried it, and Li poured the leeks into it, wrapped it in a layer of cloth, and put it in the shade of the pot house.

"There is still a handful of tender leeks left, let's eat the leeks and cakes later." Li discussed with Chen Xueru and Wang Jinghao.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the upper room, and Xuewa stood at the door of the pot house and shouted: "Auntie, the second uncle and the fourth uncle fought." (To be continued)
