Chapter 119: Spicy cabbage
A hundred catties of pigs, and in the end, the Feng family only left less than thirty catties of meat and a bunch of bones.
Under the control of Yunzhu and Xiangmei, two tables of decent meals were finally prepared.
Bloody Wang, pork liver, stir-fried kidney flower, stewed pork belly with ginkgo seeds, and two vegetarian dishes were served to make up the noodles.
It was originally an inconspicuous offal, but under the wonderful hands of Yunzhu, it has become a delicacy. Everyone was overjoyed to eat, and the yellow butcher kept praising the friends he brought: "This must be the craftsmanship of Song Niangzi, I tasted it once, and I will never forget it." ”
Yunzhu saw that everyone was happy to eat, and she liked it in her heart.
Mrs. Feng also felt that she had a lot of face, and quietly gave Yunzhu money as a thank you, but Yunzhu didn't accept it and refused her kindness: "Auntie looked up to me and asked me to come over to help, and it's too much to talk about money." I want to buy some more meat, but I don't know if I can make it? ”
Feng Lao Niang was a little difficult, and there was not much meat left, but she had promised Yunzhu before that she couldn't break her word, so she agreed with her mouth full of promises, and let Ping'an weigh the meat.
Ping'an took the knife and asked Yunzhu: "Do you want to eat thinner or fatter?" ”
Yunzhu smiled: "It's good to be fat and thin." ”
After a little pondering, Ping An helped Yunzhu cut it, and without weighing it, he found a rope to tie up the twine and handed it to Yunzhu.
Yun Zhu was surprised: "How can you not weigh it?" ”
Ping'an smiled: "Hey, why are our two families so clear, you can take it and eat it." I can still call the shots in this matter. ”
"Nope." Yunzhu went to fetch the scales by himself and made an appointment, a total of four catties and eight taels.
Ping An hurriedly asked, "Is it enough?" ”
Yunzhu nodded and said, "Enough." Enough is enough. But you don't have much left. ”
"It's okay, I'll be able to cope with it when I go up to the mountains to hunt some more in the first month."
Yunzhu counted the money. I wanted to pay, but I was held down by Ping An and said, "Am I angry if you do this again?" ”
"No, your second aunt paid for ten catties of meat. How can I not pay. ”
"You are different from her, well-behaved, obedient!" The tone in the back is like the usual peaceful coaxing of Tian Tian.
Almost to five catties of meat is also a hundred dollars, for a poor farmer, it is not a small amount, Yunzhu saw that he was safe and refused to accept it, but he couldn't help it. Later, it was quietly given to Mrs. Feng.
Feng Lao Niang said: "You kid! ”
Yunzhu smiled: "This way I can also feel at ease." Pigs are raised with great difficulty, and I understand the hardships inside. ”
Feng Lao Niang said that she couldn't say that Yunzhu had to accept it. In her heart, she felt that Yunzhu was a sincere person. I never thought about taking advantage of anything, but it was easy to get along with, and she really liked it. Feng Bai and what she nagged about, she didn't think it was so important.
Turning around, Yunzhu continued to teach Feng Lao Niang to make spicy cabbage.
The two of them moved away from the stone that was pressed on it, and the cabbage that was originally crisp and tender was already a little wilted. I found a big basin and fished them out one by one, although there was no ice ballast, but it was really biting cold. In the back, Yunzhu didn't dare to reach out and fish it directly, but used chopsticks to clip it.
Mrs. Feng came over and said, "You go and help me prepare the seasoning, I'll catch it." Don't freeze you. ”
Yun Zhu was stunned, so he began to prepare the seasoning, and Ping'an walked in and asked, "How can I help?" ”
Yunzhu said: "Yes, make the chili pepper and the pepper into noodles." ”
"It's easy." Ping An hurried to get it.
Yunzhu hurried to peel the garlic. Pound the minced garlic.
"Hey, when your little restaurant opens, I'll help you too?"
Yunzhu said: "Then you wait first." I'm afraid that it will be a few years before my restaurant can open, and isn't it a bit overkill? But I've wronged you. ”
"What grievances are not grievances. I'm happy to be with you. ”
Yunzhu pounded the minced garlic and chopped the ginger. Then I went to boil glutinous rice cereal, and it was easy to ferment with this. Otherwise, on such a cold day, I don't know when I will be able to eat.
After Ping'an had cooked the chili pepper and peppercorn noodles, and the glutinous rice paste was almost dry, Yunzhu rushed home and took a small jar of secret sauce.
Later, Yunzhu and Feng Lao Niang pickled vegetables together, and Xiangmei wanted to come to participate when she saw that they were doing a lively job, but Feng Lao Niang said: "If you want to embroider, don't come." Besides, your ones are not light or heavy, either salty or sour, spicy, and you eat them all if you do it? ”
Xiangmei stuck out her tongue and said, "Don't let me help you." ”
Yun Zhu and Feng Lao Niang broke all the cabbages, wiped the seasoning one by one, and put them neatly in the jar after wiping them.
"It's fresh, and I think it's going to be delicious."
Yunzhu said: "Not necessarily, there is no shrimp paste, no fish sauce, not even apples and pears, and the taste is definitely worse than the authentic one." ”
"It feels like a lot more troublesome to hear you say that."
"Yes, but the seasoning is more troublesome, and the method is still very simple."
"How long will it take?"
Yunzhu said: "This kind of weather may be stored for half a month." ”
"That's fast, much earlier than pickled cabbage, which takes three months to leave."
By the time all these dishes are pickled and stored, it will be almost afternoon.
Yun Zhu's hands were first stiffened by the cold water, and then they were marinated in hot sauce and uncomfortable, but unfortunately there was no plastic gloves or anything to separate.
When he finished his work, Yunzhu's hand felt spicy and painful.
Mrs. Feng said, "Go pour some vinegar." ”
Regardless of whether this method works or not, but it is still a solution, Ping An hurriedly took the vinegar, helped Yunzhu pour it, and said with concern: "Is it still uncomfortable?" ”
"It's uncomfortable anyway."
"Wait, I'll go to Dr. Yuan and ask to see if there are any good ointments to rub on."
Yun Zhu thought about it, then pulled his sleeve, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it doesn't matter, it'll be fine in a while." ”
Ping An looked at Yunzhu's slender and slender fingers, which were flushing red at the moment, and seeing that she was uncomfortable but couldn't help anything, he couldn't help her, and he couldn't help it.
"I'll blow it for you." As he spoke, he bent down, took Yunzhu's hand and blew it gently on her.
Xiangmei brought a bowl containing snow water collected two days ago, and heard that it could be used to soak her hands, but when she caught a glimpse of Ping An blowing her hands on Yunzhu, she retreated.
"What, she doesn't want it?"
Xiangmei shook her head with a smile and said, "No, don't bother them." ”
Mrs. Feng didn't know what was going on, she walked a few steps and saw the two of them standing under the eaves, intimate and intimate, she interrupted the two without thinking about it.
"I've heard it's good to soak in snow water."
Yunzhu hurriedly asked, "Really?" I remember that Tian Tian filled a jar of snow, which may have turned all into water, and I went back to soak in it. Yun Zhu said and ran away.
Ping An looked at her departing figure, a little stunned. (To be continued......)
