Aunt Ju didn't speak, just laughed.

"Brother Li is outside, although my nuclear sister is not a sister, but she is a special fate, my teacher has no sisters, and the old sister is the same as my sister in my heart," the mother said coolly, "In the future, if the old sister can't think about it, you can take her to our Songpo Tun to relax, there are Hua girls and Fang girls chattering together, and you can also coax the old sister to be happy." ”

"Listen to you," Aunt Ju took over, "when the spring is open and the crops in the field are planted, I will go to your house, you can't be annoyed by me." ”

"No, no, we're welcome. The mother quickly agreed, "Okay, after making trouble for you all day, we will also change it back." ”

After saying goodbye to Aunt Ju, the Lan family got into the carriage, or Dashan sat on the wheel to catch the car, and the family returned to Songpotun accompanied by the long back pulled out by the sunset.

On the day when Yun Fang and the others went out to visit relatives, Dad and Xiao Shi were not idle, they took advantage of the gap between other people's homes to visit relatives, picked up a lot of bitter brine well water, and according to the method taught to them by Yun Fang, they boiled a large amount of salt.

At the same time, taking advantage of the gap between the cooked soil and the salt, my father took the small stone to dig out three carts of the big white radish sent by Zhang Danian, and the two took turns to push the radish back to the yard with a small cart.

As soon as the little stone dropped the bucket, the mountain returned with the wagon.

Looking at the pile of big white radishes piled up at home and a large tank full of water in the water tank, Dashan laughed and said teasingly, "Dad, Shishi, can you two really pinch and count? How do you know that Steward Zhang is still in a hurry to ask for radish strips?"

"It's not that we can pinch and calculate," Shi also smiled quietly, helping Dashan unload the car, "It's Dad's calculation, it's not a matter of burying those big white radishes in the ground, burying them for one more day will be more healthy, no matter what Steward Zhang needs, we have to pickle them out first." ”

"Dad is worthy of being a father, and what he thinks about is thoughtful. Dashan said with emotion, and tied the cattle into the livestock shed, where the fodder had already been returned, and the foals sent by Li Yongzhuan were also eating fodder in it.

Dashan and Xiaoshi packed up the carriage and horses, and the mother had already taken Yunhua and Yunfang into the house, and talked to her father about today's handover with Steward Zhang, "...... , his father, listen to what Steward Zhang meant, is to let us quickly pickle the remaining big white radishes into radish strips, and he will send us some big white radishes in a few days. ”

"Pickle these big white radishes as soon as possible, even if he doesn't tell me to prepare to do it," Dad took a puff of his cigarette pouch and said with some embarrassment, "But he wants to send the big white radish again, I'm afraid that he will have to take half of it, and if he is not careful, it will not be good to clean up, and the pickled radish strips will change their taste." If you lose the original flavor of the radish strips, I am afraid that it will affect the business of other shops. ”

"That's what you said," the mother sighed, "Alas, I saw those big white radishes when I came in just now, and it's only been a few days, and now the big white radishes are much healthier than years ago, and I'm afraid a big cart can only pickle four hundred and fifty bowls." ”

"Today we have already mentioned this matter to Steward Zhang," Yun Fang also said with some solemnity, "He also counts, I just hope he can find as many big white radishes as possible, we can pick carefully, and we can get the number of reservations in Steward Zhang's shop." ”

"That's all there is to it. Dad took another puff of the cigarette pouch and changed the subject, "You went to Lizigou to pay New Year's greetings, right?"

As soon as my mother heard her father mention this topic, her eyebrows raised, and her expression flew a little, and she immediately told her father about Li Jinrong's apology and Li Yongshui's family who met Li Jinrong on the road and was taken by Li Jinrong to the county shop as a buddy.

As soon as the mother finished speaking, Dashan's excited voice rang out, "Dad, Brother Yonglian went to the county seat to be a buddy, and he got paid as soon as he went, this is a good thing that pie in the sky." ”

"What Dashan said is," the mother nodded, but talked about another aspect of the matter, "This old sister of Li Zigou had a fight with Li Minghua's family for our family's affairs, and the Li family kid not only didn't hold grudges, but also gave the Yonglian boy such a good coincidence." From this point of view, Li Jinrong's kid is still a reasonable person with clear grievances, no wonder Fang Yatou said that that kid won't spoil our business. ”

The more the mother spoke, the happier she became, and her face faintly showed a certain excitement.

Dad listened to the words of his mother and Dashan but was a little indifferent, he once again 'ba', 'ba'da' took a few puffs of the big cigarette pouch, thought about it and said, "Damn, we have already broken off contact with that Li Minghua's family for more than ten years, and now people are opening shops in the county, and the quality of other people's sons has nothing to do with us." ”

"His father," my mother ignored the dissuasion in my father's words, and continued a little unwillingly, "At the beginning, I was also very angry with Li Minghua and his family, whether it was more than ten years ago or recently, but these are the things that those two did to Lao Tzu Niang, I, I mean ,......"

"Mother means that it is time for us to eat," Yun Fang brought in the meal prepared by Yunhua in a timely manner, and loudly interrupted the topic of father and mother, "It's time for us to eat, we are full, there is something to do at night, there are a lot of big white radishes waiting for us in the yard." If those big white radishes were to stay in the yard for one night, they wouldn't be able to use them tomorrow. ”

Yun Fang deliberately made such a tirade, and the whole family laughed, and gathered around the dining table without greeting.

Because there were three carts of radishes waiting, everyone consciously accelerated the speed of eating. After a hurried meal, everyone began to get busy.

The Lan family has pickled the radish several times, and they are already familiar with the whole process and everyone's respective division of labor, but now the radish is beginning to become hollow, and the person in charge of cutting the radish has to pay attention to remove the radish that has been healthy, and the speed is a little slower than before.

Although it is also the big white radish of the three big cars, it takes a little time to pickle the big white radish of the three big cars, and when the Lan family is busy with the work in one go, half of the time has passed, and it will be ugly soon.

In ancient times, people did not have a rich nightlife, let alone the habit of staying up late, and they were already sleepy and yawning in the middle of the night.

After staying up late at night, tired and sleepy, everyone slept very deeply. The next day, including Xiaoshi and his father, the Lan family got up late, and it wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that the door of the Lan family's courtyard 'creaked' open.

After eating, it was a little later than usual, and my father took Dashan and Xiaoshi to the field to dig out the last two carts of big white water radish, and everyone pickled the two cars of big white water radish neatly.

By noon, the big coarse porcelain jar under the south wall of the Lan family's small courtyard was full of them, except for one large jar with whole pickled radish, the others were radish strips.

I think that at the beginning, Yun Fang tried to pickle some radish strips and sell them out at the price of two pennies a bowl, but they were unsalable. If it weren't for the fact that they came up with a way to exchange radish strips for big white radish strips, and there were not many people who did happy events at the end of the year, their radish strips would not have been sold so smoothly.

Of course, the Lan family's radish strips sold smoothly, and Li Jinrong was also fueled by all kinds of careful thoughts. Later, Steward Zhang also came to the door, and the Lan family's radish strips appeared in the current situation of short supply, but the raw materials of the big white radish have been sold out!

At that time, the Lan family was still worried about the sales of radish strips, Yun Fang decided to pickle those big white radishes whole according to the consumption level of the surrounding people and the actual situation of his own family, and did not put any ingredients, just salted them.
