Listening to Lin Zichen explain her plan, Li Yuedi still didn't have much confidence in her heart, "Xiao Chen, where did you hear about your method of pickling sour radish?" Although there are many women in the village who can pickle sour radish, there has never been such a thigh. ”

"Grandma, if you don't believe it, we'll pull a few radishes back first, a few will be pickled in my way, and a few will be pickled in the usual method in the village, and then you can taste the sour radishes pickled by that method.

"But will anyone buy this sour radish?" The second aunt, Ye Xiaoyu, raised her own questions.

Several men in the family have been pondering, and the second uncle Li Weimao listened to his daughter-in-law's words and said, "I think what Xiao Chen said can be tried." ”

Everyone looked at him and motioned for him to continue, Li Weimao sorted out his thoughts and continued: "Think about it, although there are people in the village who can pickle sour radish, but they will only get it when the old man himself has nothing to do. During the Chinese New Year, I ate a lot of big fish and meat, so I naturally wanted to eat something sour and refreshing, and this sour radish was just right to eat. ”

"Yes, yes, no one wants to toss this in the winter, everyone can only eat some fruit to relieve greasy, if our family takes sour radish to sell, it is estimated that many people are willing to buy, sour radish can be eaten cold or hot, and it can also be fried with vegetables, which is just right for the winter." was said by Li Weimao, Li Weiye's thoughts also became active.

Li Yuedi heard her two sons say this, and looked at Li Bangguo, who had been pondering, "Old man, what do you think?" ”

Li Bangguo slapped his thigh, "Just give it a try as Xiao Chen said, first marinate a vat and sell it for trial, if it doesn't work, our loss will not be big." ”

With the addition of his grandfather, Lin Zichen was more sure in his heart, "Auntie, aunt, let's go to the vegetable garden to pull radishes immediately." ”

"Huh." Li Jiayu took the vegetable basket and walked to the vegetable garden with Lin Zichen.

At home, Li Yuedi also commanded Li Weiye and the brothers to get busy, "Weiye, Weimao, you go to the warehouse to move a small tank out, wash it, and put it in the sun to dry." ”

"Yes." The brothers, who received the order, immediately went to work.

When he came to the vegetable garden, Lin Zichen saw that there were really a lot of radishes with a big crack.

"Xiao Chen, do you want these cracks?" Liang Xiaomei asked.

The radishes that began to crack were a little old, not tasty, and had to be dried.

"It's okay, pull the crack back first."

The three of them rolled up their sleeves and began to pluck turnips, plucking a basket full of them. Wash the radish and take it home.

Under Lin Zichen's instructions, the radish was peeled and cut into pieces of radish of about the same size.

Lin Zichen took a clean basin from the kitchen and asked Liang Xiaomei to put the radish pieces into the basin, add salt and keep kneading until the radish pieces came out of the water.

"Auntie, it's okay, pour out the water and wash the radish pieces with clean water." Lin Zichen instructed Liang Xiaomei to take the next step.

After cleaning the radish pieces, Lin Zichen asked Ye Xiaoyu to bring the cool salt water.

"Uncle, you can bring the cylinder in."

Li Weiye and Li Weimao carried the cylinder in.

"Second aunt, pour salt water into the tank."

The salt water was poured into the jar, up to the halfway point of the jar, Lin Zichen didn't care, and added vinegar, chili pepper, sugar, etc. to the jar by feeling.

When Lin Zichen came back from rebirth, it was the first time he did such an uncertain thing, and his heart couldn't help but feel empty.

Secretly wiping a handful of sweat from his forehead, Lin Zichen pretended to be calm and asked Liang Xiaomei to gently put the radish pieces into the salted water with ingredients.

Closing the lid of the cylinder, Lin Zichen asked Li Weiye and Li Weimao to move the cylinder to the corner of the kitchen.

"Whew, it's okay, let's come back in four or five days." The amount is a bit much, I don't know if it will be marinated after five days.

The radishes on Lin Zichen's side have been sealed, and the radishes on Li Yuedi's side have also been installed in the jar.

The rest will have to wait. Lin Zichen is not in a hurry, the so-called impatience can't eat hot tofu, take your time, you will always succeed.

Clapping his hands, Lin Zichen felt like going out for a walk. Just now, while everyone was not paying attention, she secretly added a lot of stream water in the space in the tank, although she didn't know what the stream water did, but she drank it in the morning, and she hoped that adding it would bring unexpected gains.

Five days passed in a blink of an eye.

Li Yuedi put both kinds of sour radishes on a small plate and placed them on the table in the living room.

"Mom, try it." Li Weiye urged Li Yuedi.

Li Yuedi first sandwiched a piece of sour radish made by herself, which tasted okay, not too sour and not too spicy. Then Li Yuedi stretched out her chopsticks to the radish made according to Lin Zichen's instructions.

Lin Zichen, who was standing next to him, watched nervously as Li Yuedi took a piece of radish and put it in her mouth, "How is it?" Mother-in-law. ”

Li Yuedi chewed slowly, then her eyes widened in disbelief, and she said to everyone, "You guys try it, taste it." ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't bother to take the chopsticks, so they directly grabbed a piece of radish and stuffed it into their mouths.

"Hmm, it's delicious, it's sour, it's sour, it's sour, it's sour..."

Lin Zichen also tried one, and the stone in his heart was finally put down. In the past five days, she also made two small jars of sour radishes at home, one jar with space for stream water, and one jar without it. The two jars were only marinated yesterday, and Lin Zichen tried them, and determined that the ones with the addition of space stream water were more than ten times more delicious.

Today, the sour radish in this vat was also successfully pickled, and Lin Zichen was finally relieved.

"Uncle, isn't the fish pond going to collect fish in a few days?" Lin Zichen asked Li Weiye.

"Yes, the New Year is coming soon, and the village chief said that he would take advantage of the warm weather in the past few days to harvest the fish and sell it in the town, so that it can also be exchanged for some money for everyone to celebrate the New Year." Li Weiye told Lin Zichen in detail about the matter.

Lin Zichen nodded, and had an idea in his heart, "Uncle, on the day of selling fish, let's also sell sour radish." ”

"Okay, do whatever you say." Li Weiye officially saw the wisdom of this niece and decided to listen to Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen suddenly had the illusion of being entrusted with a heavy task, "Uncle, I'm just a junior high school student, can't I have the final say in this kind of thing." ”

"You girl has a lot of ideas, who else can listen to if you don't listen to you." Second uncle Li Weimao praised Lin Zichen deformedly.

"Xiao Chen, tell me how to sell this sour radish." The ginger is still old and spicy, and my grandfather immediately asked about the topic.

"I don't have any special method, so I just set up a stall, put a plate of sour radish, prepare a pack of toothpicks, taste it before you buy it." Lin Zichen briefly said his thoughts.

"Well, that sounds good." The people who go to the town to buy things are people from several surrounding villages, rural people, simple, those who sell things will not deceive, and those who buy things will not deliberately find fault.

In this era, the sales method of tasting before buying has not yet come out, and Lin Zichen can be said to have set a precedent this time.

The radishes are all home-grown, and the money is spent on vinegar and salt. Even if everyone just doesn't eat and buy, they can't waste a lot of money. Exchange a few pieces of sour radish for a favor of many people, and a discerning person will know who earned it at a glance.

On the day of selling fish, Liang Xiaomei and Ye Xiaoyu went to the town with two jars of sour radish.

It was a little cold, and several boys in the family were reluctant to go out, so Lin Zichen volunteered to follow to keep accounts.

found a sheltered corner, Lin Zichen and the three of them put their things in place and started doing business.
