"No matter how we say it, they are all outsiders, they are many people here, they should bow their heads when they should bow their heads, they are strong for a while, they can't be crossed, we are all people who have suffered big losses, and you still don't understand the truth that more is better than less."

Liang Chuan said very seriously today, because he didn't want things to happen again and again, there was always a time when he couldn't take care of it, and he didn't want another accident around him.

Yang Xiu saw that his boss said solemnly today, he was also worried about himself, and he felt a little inappropriate for his urgency.

Today is a good day, Liang Chuan doesn't want to make the atmosphere so dignified. After a change of words, he said: "Next time, everyone should pay attention, Yang Xiu, show everyone a hand, everyone is looking forward to how delicious your kimchi is." ”

Yang Xiu was very disappointed and muttered, "I'll just do it." ”

Li Erhua rarely saw Yang Xiu so lost, and couldn't help squinting and snickering, causing Yang Xiu to glare at her fiercely.

"I'll do it." Liang Chuan will sing blackface for a while, and red face for a while, Yang Xiu made a grimace, the owner changes his face really quickly, just accept it.

The vegetables that make kimchi should be washed and dried first, the thick skin and thick tendons on the vegetables and the fibrous roots should be removed, and the black spots and rotten places on the surface of the vegetables should be disposed of. It is best not to put the dishes with raw water into the tank, the salt water in the jar should ensure the original taste, the taste will be impure when the raw water is added, and when the weather is hot, there may be maggots.

Yang Xiu bought a lot of radish, ginger, lotus root, cowpea and a lot of bamboo shoots at home, these dishes can be soaked for a long time, and the longer the time, the better the taste, if you want to make bath pickles, then these are also okay.

In fact, there are many raw materials that can be used to make kimchi, but generally choose ingredients that have a tight texture and can still remain crisp and tender after pickling, such as carrots, which are the same as white radish, but there are no carrots yet, and they will be introduced to China around the 13th century.

Liang Chuan used a few bamboos to build a bamboo frame, on which were placed all kinds of washed hard vegetables, the appearance of the dishes at this time was not as large as the body shape of the later generations of good vegetables, but the taste of the two was similar to the years when they were different, and they were very different.

If the white radish is too large, it should be cut before putting it in the jar, so as to avoid the wife from pickling it badly, and the flavor of the kimchi is easier to integrate into the vegetable meat.

"The owner goes to boil some water, and the seasoning should be boiled." Since Liang Chuan wants to help, Yang Xiu is not polite, and he uses Liang Chuan unceremoniously, pointing out where to use.

Now at home, under Liang Chuan's orders, the water in the pot has basically not stopped, because the hot water is very useful. Liang Chuan asked everyone to drink boiled water, and to scald the tableware with hot water when washing it. Fortunately, the firewood at home could not be burned, and the fire in the stove kept burning, boiling water. Liang Chuan later asked everyone to soak their feet in hot water before going to bed at night. The suggestion rule did not explain anything to everyone, but after everyone washed their feet, they felt that they slept much better and became more comfortable.

Liang Chuan scooped up some hot water, and Yang Xiu put the bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon, grass fruits, peppercorns, star anise, salt and caramel she bought, put them in a hot pot and boiled them, and when the water was cool, they could be put into the kimchi jar.

Its practical white sugar may be a little better, but now white sugar is too expensive and cannot be bought at all in this small place. Yang Xiu's family has never used white grain at all, and has always used caramel sugar.

The best way to make kimchi soup is to use old salt water, but Liang Chuan Jiatian is making kimchi for the first time, and he can't find old salt water, so he has no choice but to make this seasoning water himself. The kimchi jar is large, the pot is also large, and there will be a lot of seasoning juice when burned.

If there is old brine, the marinating time is shorter and the taste is purer. But if you can't find the old kimchi seasoning soup, you can only marinate the new kimchi seasoning soup, but the taste of the first few kimchi is poor, and with time and careful conditioning, the taste of the kimchi in the jar will get better and better.

After the soup is boiled and cold, it is slowly poured into the jar, and all the vegetables in the jar must be submerged. This pottery jar is too big, and the vegetables that Yi Niang bought today are just a bamboo basket, and she didn't buy too much, and she can be put in half of the jar.

At this time, there were no chili peppers, Liang Chuan took a closer look, Yang Xiu put a lot of garlic and ginger, both of which have a very big taste and are very pungent, but to replace the effect of chili peppers, I'm afraid it's still a little worse. Liang Chuan couldn't take his eyes off it, wanting to uncover this mystery.

Yang Xiu used a kind of powder, Liang Chuan's eyes were wide, but Yang Xiu didn't care, because this kind of ingredient is basically used now. Liang Chuan took advantage of Yang Xiu's preparation of other spices, smeared some powder on his fingers, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

A strong pungent smell pours straight into the nose, isn't this the mustard powder made by grinding the mustard fruit into powder! People want to enhance the flavor of kimchi, but they have never eaten chili peppers, so they don't know the existence of spicy taste, so they can only find an ingredient with a big flavor impact to replace it. Nowadays, basically no one uses mustard root, but in the Great Song Dynasty, there was only this one.

Finally, pour a little sorghum wine into the jar, this wine is to make lactic acid bacteria in the jar, and other wines are not good. Yang Xiu bought some pears, peeled them and put them in the jar, she only knew that adding some apples or pear pickles would increase the flavor a lot, but he didn't understand what the reason was. It's a little secret recipe that they've passed down from their ancestors.

Add pears to the kimchi, this reason Liang Chuan consulted his brother on the bunk, saying that there is a lot of salt in the kimchi, and nitrite will be produced during the soaking process, which is toxic and will also affect the taste, if you add some fruit to it, the vitamin C in the fruit can reduce the nitrite content, and it can also make the pickled kimchi rich in fruity flavor.

This season is not as good as the future generations, you can buy any fruit you want to eat, and you can find these fashionable fruits in a few seasons.

After the kimchi is prepared, cover the jar, and remember to pour some water on the rim of the jar to seal the jar. Liang Chuan picked up the vegetable jar and put it in a shady corner of the house. Keep it moist and ventilated for optimal growth of fermentation bacteria.

"How many days does Yang Xiu have to marinate this?"

"The longer the better, the water here is very sweet, and the kimchi made should not be bad."

Making kimchi looked simple, and it took almost half a day to make it, and when it was sunset and dusk, Ma Dan and the four children brought the fish back again.

There are too many fish in Nanxi, and it is full of harvest. Liang Chuan gave Ma Dan and each of their four children a big fish, and according to the agreement, this is the lowest reward.

"Ma Dan, I'll let you go back and talk to your father and mother about studying, what do they say." Liang Chuan asked.

"My father and mother saw that I brought another fish home yesterday and beat me so hard that I cried and forgot about it." Ma Dan said with a serious face, almost pulling down his pants to show him, the scars from yesterday's beating should not have faded yet.

"Then you have to remember to tell him when you go back today, and I'll make arrangements when I go back and see how many pens and paper I want to buy."

"I'm afraid that if I take the fish back today, I will inevitably be beaten." Ma Dan knew that he would be beaten, but he still said it casually, as if he didn't care about being beaten.

"I'll talk about it later."

Liang Chuan feels that Ma Dan is a very malleable child, he has a toughness and a sense of cleverness compared to other people's children, that is, he is too young, and it is not suitable to take him with him now, at his age, he should study well in the school, and he may have some achievements in the future. The worst is just an opportunity.

Today, Yang Xiu and the others almost caused a bigger dispute because of a piece of meat, but fortunately they were pressed down by Jiang Lizheng. In fact, this is not Jiang Lizheng's credit, Liang Chuan had dealt with Zheng Tu before, at that time he didn't even bother to look at Liang Chuan, but now he has to be afraid of Liang Chuan's strength and the big man behind Liang Chuan.

They got back a good chop. Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, there is no doctor to prescribe! Turnip race ginseng in winter! Liang Chuan is going to cook in person today, and it has always been Yi Niang who has been busy in the kitchen, and today he also showed his hand.

Cut the chops, add the green onions, add the radish, add a little rice wine after boiling, wait for the radish to roll up and down in the pot, and then add a little coarse salt, at this time, a pot of radish soup can be out of the pot.

Today, everyone's attention was on Liang Chuan, and they really wanted to see if Liang Chuan would secretly run to Xinghua with Yiniang behind his back to meet the kiln sister, but they didn't expect Liang Chuan's ass to be nailed in this yard all day, except for going up the mountain to cut bamboo for them, he didn't move.

I also cook for them at night, and the men of this era are quite disgusted with the kitchen, because in their opinion, only men who have no ability to make it impossible to call their women will go to the kitchen by themselves.

There is no doubt that Yi Niang is virtuous, Liang Chuan is even more in place, yesterday everyone misunderstood him, and today he also used his personal behavior to prove his loyalty to this family.

"Boss, your soup is so delicious, I didn't expect you to cook!" Ye Xiaochai finally patted Liang Chuan's ass, he hoped that when Liang Chuan would be happy, let her come back, and no longer have to look at that store.

"I'll have a lot, you ask Yi Niang if the flower chicken used to be called a roast bamboo rat is delicious."

There are quite a lot of rows in this pot, and Liang Chuan can't eat them at all. At night, Zhao Dafa and they came back, Liang Chuan called He Sanshu, He Lizheng and a few people came to their own territory again, skewered the fish caught in the afternoon with bamboo sticks, and made a grand bonfire party, grilled fish with radish and pork rib soup, and then drank rice wine, the ancestral hall that should have been quiet became noisy again after the Lantern Festival.

Zhao Dafa said: "The owner, the days after tomorrow are good, and Shangliang can almost choose these two days." ”
