Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Approach is Different

On Friday night, Shen Mengxi decided to make a spicy cabbage.

She picked two Chinese cabbages, went to the big cabbage gang, put four parts of everything on each tree, and put them in a large enamel basin and sprinkled salt to kill the water.

Early on Sunday morning, the softened cabbage is soaked in clean water to remove salt and water, and this physical work is done by Qi Health.

He also asked Lu Xiuzhi to spread the prepared sauce layer by layer on each cabbage leaf, and the sauce was sufficient, sealed in the pickle jar, and put it in a cool place to ferment.

This sauce is complicated and requires glutinous rice flour, but Jiayang can't buy it, and at this time it can't even be bought with Jiang rice, Lu Xiuzhi thought for a while, "Just use white noodles!" ”

The daughter said that she wanted to boil it sticky, and she remembered the rice used to glue the window.

Shen Mengxi quietly took glutinous rice noodles from the Wuling space and replaced them, but Lu Xiuzhi didn't realize it.

The boiled glutinous rice paste is filled with chopped apples, pears, ginger, garlic, chili noodles, sea rice, green onions and shredded white radish.

Lu Xiuzhi sighed, "No wonder, this is sparse, who can guess what's inside!" ”

Shen Mengxi also added a little shrimp paste and fish sauce to the sauce, both of which were added by Lu Xiuzhi behind his back.

After smearing all the cabbage, there is still a large bowl of sauce left.

In the evening, Lu Xiuzhi made hand-rolled noodles, and ate them with noodles, Qi security guards applauded loudly, and Lu Xiuzhi was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, "It seems to be better than Lao Jin's!" ”

Seeing that Qi Health Care also nodded in agreement, he said: "Hurry up Ming'er to do some more, and send it to your grandfather's family and your grandfather's family!" ”

Recently, the power plant doesn't know what's wrong, and there are always power outages.

Jiayang does not have a large factory that requires three shifts, and there is no serious impact on power outages and maintenance during off-duty hours.

However, it has affected Lu Xiuzhi to watch TV, she usually likes to knit sweaters while watching TV after dinner, which is simply her greatest enjoyment, think about it, see Xingtou, Ashin is washing clothes by the water, her fingers are as pitiful as carrots, the TV screen suddenly flashed, there was no figure, how not to hurry?

On this day, the Qi family's spicy cabbage was finally fermented, Shen Mengxi took a small pot and sent it to the Jin family, Lu Xiuzhi awkwardly wanted to stop her, "Don't go, it's not good!" ”

Shen Mengxi went straight out without even looking back.

"Aunt Jin, try the spicy cabbage I made!"

"Yo, I really did it!" Aunt Jin cut a section with scissors, tasted it, and was stunned when she chewed.

"Is it delicious? This is the first time we have done it, and you can give us some advice! ”

Jin Xiangyu also came over to taste it, and threw the chopsticks angrily, "You just stole from my family!" ”

Shen Mengxi looked at Aunt Jin, "Auntie, is my pickles delicious?" ”

Aunt Jin took another bite, chewed carefully, and nodded, "It's delicious, it's better than what Auntie makes!" Your approach is different from my aunt's, I ate it with sea rice in it! ”

"!" Jin Xiangyu shouted dissatisfiedly.

Shen Mengxi smiled and said, "It's delicious, Auntie, hurry up and vacate the small pot for me, I still have to send it to Aunt Han's house." ”

Aunt Jin didn't think about it, so she took out a small basin, but she forgot to wash it, and she didn't return the gift, so she gave it to Shen Mengxi, and Shen Mengxi said "goodbye Auntie" and left, without looking at Jin Xiangyu.

Back in her yard, she heard Aunt Jin slapping her thigh next door and shouting, "Ah, Zhuzhu!" The eldest lady is confused, she forgot to brush the dishes for you, the eldest lady has oranges here, and she wants to give them to you! ”

Shen Mengxi also shouted through the wall: "My mother won't let me ask for your things, and I said that the pickles last time were all topped!" ”

Entering the kitchen, Lu Xiuzhi obviously heard her shouting and looked at her with disgust, "Why are you so naughty!" ”

Shen Mengxi also laughed at himself in his heart, why did he suddenly have a child's heart and take care of it. Thinking about it, because I couldn't see Lu Xiuzhi being wronged, I just wanted to vent my anger for her.

Since when has she been fully integrated into the family?

Silent, unconscious.

"I won't talk about it anymore! It's really not interesting! ”

She picked up a quarter of the spicy cabbage, put it in a small pot, covered it, and sent it to Shang Jing's house.

Shang Jing's mother enthusiastically let her into the house to play with Shang Jing, and neatly washed the small basin and filled it with a mountain ding, "Baozhu, this is picked by your Da Lin brother, and the aunt washed it cleanly, and it was steamed, and it was mixed with sugar." ”

Shen Mengxi hurriedly thanked him, "Ah, it's too much!" ”

"I still have it, I'll get it after eating!"

"Your pickles are delicious!" Shang Jing didn't know when, she had already eaten it, crunching and chewing.

Aunt Shang also tasted a piece, full of praise, seeing that Shang Jing was going to clip it again, she hurriedly received it in the bowl rack, "Hey Mom, it's so delicious, how did your mother make it!" Don't eat it! Let's eat together tomorrow. ”

Suddenly, the electric light flickered, and the light went out.

"Why did you call back again?" Aunt Shang complained, and from the windowsill, she touched the wax sill, struck a match, and lit a candle.

Yes, it's been a few days in a row, and there is a power outage in the evening.

Shen Mengxi said that she wanted to go home, and Shang Jing also wanted to go with her, but Aunt Shang didn't allow it, "I don't know when the call will come, and even the street lights outside are dark!" ”

"There's a moon! You ask my brother to pick me up in an hour! ”

"Your brother? You didn't even come back for dinner, and you pointed to him to pick you up? ”

"I don't care, I'm leaving!" Shang Jing smiled and walked out first with a small basin. Shen Mengxi said goodbye and hurriedly followed.

There are no street lights on the street, but there is a moon in the sky, shining coldly on the earth, and the fallen leaves on the ground make a rustling sound, a total of 100 meters away, Shang Jing has a lot of fun, looking for a place with many fallen leaves to step on.

Shen Mengxi put the mountain dingzi in the kitchen and said to Lu Xiuzhi, Lu Xiuzhi saw Shang Jing, so he said: "Your aunt Shang is too polite, a little cabbage leaves, what is polite!" ”

"Aunt Lu, the pickles you make are so delicious!" Shang Jing said sweetly.

"It's delicious, Aunt Lu will give it back to you next time!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Mengxi saw that Lu Xiuzhi was sprinkling salt on a pot of cut cabbage.

"Again?"

"Well, do more this time!" Lu Xiuzhi did eat better than the Jin family, and decided to do more.

"Then, I'll help you with the spice tomorrow."

"Okay."

Shen Mengxi and Shang Jing were in the living room, she pulled the erhu to Shang Jing, and Shang Jing kept eating mountain dingzi in her mouth, humming along. Lu Xiuzhi finished the cabbage and came in with the wax table, "Ouch, it's feasible, stop." It's like killing a chicken. ”

"The teachers all praise me for my fast progress!" Shen Mengxi was not convinced.

"Can you, you're amazing, can't you do it yet, let me stop for a while!"

It's upset again.

Shen Mengxi hurriedly put away the erhu.

Lu Xiuzhi picked up the sweater again, sat down beside her, and blew out the candle brought from the kitchen.

"Don't weave! Not good for the eyes! Shen Mengxi held the candle farther away.

"I don't have to look at knitting sweaters."

"That's not going to work either! You shake your arms and sit on the couch for a while! ”

To tell the truth, Lu Xiuzhi is almost idle all day long, unless she lies down on the kang to sleep, that is, she can sit down after knitting a sweater after dinner.

Shen Mengxi put two No. 1 batteries into the cassette recorder and tuned to the provincial radio station, "Listen to this, you listen with your eyes closed, and I will wrap yarn with Xiaojing for you." ”

As soon as they took out the yarn, they heard someone shouting outside: It's on fire!
