Sauerkraut is divided into two kinds of north and south, the sauerkraut in the north is the most easy to get, only salt, Chinese cabbage and water can be used, the temperature is slightly cooler, and the pickled sauerkraut can be eaten until May 1 of the following year.

Sauerkraut is widely used in this cold winter in the north, the most famous is sauerkraut stewed white meat, blood sausage, sauerkraut hot pot, sauerkraut dumplings, and there are dozens of extended dishes.

At the time of the construction of Zhuangzi, Lan Ya deliberately separated a large warehouse, and now, more than 40 acres of land have been harvested, producing more than 100,000 catties of cabbage and 200,000 catties of potatoes, this is still because it is the yield of the first year of wasteland, if it is later, the yield will be more.

The cabbage was dried at the door of the storeroom, and the leaves were a little wilted, which was a good time to pickle the cabbage.

The potatoes are all stored in the cellar.

Lan Ya led the family to visit the main house and simply divided the rooms.

The room is very easy to distinguish, the middle corridor of the main house is separated, the right is the living room, and then there is a study, a master bedroom, the furniture has not been placed, empty, but the master bedroom is properly arranged.

As soon as they entered the room, the faces of the Hai couple turned red.

I saw a bed in the middle of the room, which was different from the four-pillar bed of an ordinary rich and noble family, and it was also different from the fire kang against the wall of an ordinary farmer's house.

The bed body is a big circle, the bed body is surrounded by red silk edging, it is covered with a heavy mattress, covered with a red mandarin duck embroidered quilt, the high bed collapses into the air, hangs down the red semi-transparent gauze tent, people are in it, the shadow is full, just like yes, just like the night of the candle in the cave room.

Hai Shi blushed and said, "Ya'er, why don't you lean against the wall and cover this bed with a heavy fence?" ”

Lan Ya smiled and stretched out her long arms, with a bang, a red curtain was closed on the side of the window, and when she stretched out her hand, she opened it again, and said with a smile: "Mother, this is a curtain, how much pressure it is to sleep in the bed, you and my father will re-experience the feeling of being a bride and groom, and when my sister gets married, I promise to be better than this." This is just an experiment. ”

After speaking, he lowered his head, opened the large drawer on the side of the bed collapse and the small drawer of the bedside table and said: "Mother, you see, these drawers are enough to hold your own clothes and random objects, and you can put some refreshments and oil lamps on the bedside table. ”

Yu Sanguang peeked at Hai's blushing face, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face, Hai's embarrassed glanced at her husband, and then glared at Lan Ya with disgust: "Spending money indiscriminately, what are you get?!" ”

It's just the gentleness and shyness in his eyes, and he can't see that he really complains.

I also led a visit to the rooms of a few little sisters, and the rooms of the sisters were much simpler, all of which were ordinary four-legged wooden couches where ordinary businessmen lived.

What was built for Dalin was a one-meter-long wooden couch, surrounded by wooden railings, so that he no longer had to worry about falling to the ground while sleeping.

Looking at the warmth of the room, Lan Xiang hesitated: "Ya'er, the wooden couch is good-looking, but what can be done in winter, how can there be a hot kang?" You don't think that our family is like a big family, and the house is full of gold carbon basins, right? ”

Yu Sanguang and Hai Shi were also shocked from the shyness just now, and then suddenly there was no kang, and heating had become a big problem.

Lan Ya smiled and waved her hand to everyone, and several people walked backwards in the corridor between the secondary bedrooms, and when they arrived at the room of the backpack, they turned more than a dozen steps and walked underground.

Walk to the bottom of the steps, a flat ground in front of you, more than 30 square meters of space in front of you, five large iron pots side by side are presented against the wall, and there is an iron bird-shaped iron object standing next to the iron pot, and an iron water cylinder is connected to the bottom, which is directly inserted into the ground.

The "bird's beak" is facing a half-buried water tank, and the bamboo braided cylinder head is opened, and most of the water in it is sparkling.

The orchid buds scoop out the water with a scoop, put it in the mouth of the bird's body, and press the "bird's tail" up and down with the hand, and a leather pumping sound, and after a while, a stream of cool water comes out of the mouth of the "bird's beak" and flows into the water tank, making a pleasant light and crisp sound.

Lan Ya beckoned to Lan Duo, Lan Duo happily followed Lan Ya's appearance and pressed the water, Lan Duo had a lot of strength, and the water flowed into the tank one by one, and Lan Duo's excited little face turned red.

Without waiting for everyone to ask, Lan Ya smiled: "This is called a pumping well, which is connected to the underground river with iron pipes, so you don't have to go outside to fetch water in the future, and you don't have to worry about children falling into the well while playing." ”

Lan Ya scooped water directly with the wooden bucket next to the pot, poured it into three of the cauldrons, filled the stove hole under the cauldron with firewood, and led the fire, and the water in the pot bubbled after half a column of incense time.

Lan Ya scooped the two giant wooden barrels above, one into the hot water, the other into the cold water, and then pulled the two ropes next to the wall, and the two wooden barrels slowly rose with the pulley above, along the opening above, through the roof of the bluestone platform, and extended upward.

After a while, the hand vibrated and should have reached the top, Lan Ya pulled another rope, there was a splashing sound, Lan Ya let go of the rope, and the two giant buckets turned into two empty buckets, and fell back to their original places.

Lan Ya beckoned to a few people, opened a wooden door in front of her, went up the steps, and when she pushed open another wooden door, there was a huge wooden pool that could lie down two people together, surrounded by green bricks.

Ascending two small steps, Lan Ya sat by the pool, unplugged the two wooden stoppers on the side of the pool, and poured water in, one flowing out of hot water, the other flowing out of cold water, and after a while, half of the pool was filled.

After testing the water temperature, Lan Ya said to Hai's family: "Mother, you can bathe Dalin in a while." ”

Demonstratively opened a wooden cork at the bottom of the barrel and said: "Mother, after washing, as soon as you pull out this stopper, the water will run empty." ”

Seeing that several people were dumbfounded, Lan Ya smiled and said to everyone: "This is the bathroom, don't be too surprised, this is not over." ”

Pushing open the other door of the bathroom, it turned out to be the bright red master bedroom seen earlier.

Lan Ya smiled and said to Lan Xiang: "Sister, do you feel that the room is obviously much warmer?" ”

Everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Lan Ya explained: "The underground and side walls of this main house are hollow fire walls, and there are water-filled iron pipes underground, and when wood is burned underground, the heat surges, and the whole house is in a hot air, and the water in the iron pipes has a heat storage effect, and it will not feel cold the next morning." ”

Pushing open a foot door next to the bathroom, there was a strange room, the floor was paved with bluestone, and a white basin urn was inlaid on the floor, and a deep hole was exposed at the bottom of the basin urn.

Next to the basin urn is a waist-high bluestone platform, on which is placed a basin, above the basin is half-hung a bamboo tube pipe, the mouth of the pipe is plugged, the pipe body is embedded in the wall, I don't know where it leads.

Lan Ya pointed to the room and said: "This is a thatched house, after leaving the gong, pull the bamboo tube stopper, there will be a flow of water into the basin, wash your hands first, and then rinse the toilet pool, if you are afraid of smell, you can also cover it with a straw lid, light Zen incense." ”

Pushing open the window, he pointed to a bluestone brick-roofed underground building behind the house and said: "That is a septic tank and a biogas tank, which can be used as fertilizer, and when the biogas is fully collected in the future, it can also be taken over and use biogas to boil water for cooking." ”

Yaya hugged Lan Ya's thigh excitedly and said, "Third sister, you are so powerful, you have built all the thatched houses into the house, is there anything in my house?" ”

Lan Ya said with a smile: "This main room, one master bedroom, five second bedrooms, two guest rooms, a total of two toilets, two bathing rooms, one in the master bedroom, one at the edge of our rooms, you can pass through from the indoor corridor, so, Yaya, you don't have to be afraid of being frozen by the cold in winter or eaten by flies in summer." ”

The girl pouted, dissatisfied with her mother's stinky things going around, but it only took a moment to forget about it.

At this time, it was noon, and Lan Ya asked a few people to sleep, and it was not too late to wake up and do work.

In the haze, I only heard someone knock on the door, and when I opened the door, Hai's face was red.

Lan Ya pulled Hai Shi into the house, and seeing that Hai Shi wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't stop, she comfortingly took Hai Shi's hand and looked at Hai Shi encouragingly.

Hai had no choice but to take a deep breath and stubbornly said, "Ya'er, I discussed with your father and wanted to change rooms with you to sleep." ”

Lan Ya wondered, "Why? Mother, the master bedroom is separated from other rooms by the corridor, with a separate door, the largest and most comfortable bed, and a separate bathroom and thatched room, which can be connected to the room and the underground water room. ”

The most important thing is that there is a secret passage in that room, of course, this matter cannot really be said until the critical moment.

A flush appeared on Hai's face, and he muttered: "Ya'er, your father and I are lying in a rented room, in a rented big bed, and there is no bed weft, I always feel that someone is peeking at us, and I can't get to the bottom of my heart, and I don't dare to close my eyes." ”

It turned out that it was only by sleeping on the old-fashioned four-legged man's bed and connecting the big kang that there was a sense of security, and Lan Ya felt that his romance was deeply trampled on by the ancients.

I really felt that I couldn't cry or laugh, so I had to choose to be obedient and change the main and secondary bedrooms with the two, but the set of mandarin ducks was still forced to the two by Lan Ya, and Dalin was also snatched over.

The body rose into the air, Lan Ya rushed directly into the huge bed collapse, and let out a soft groan comfortably, secretly glad that fortunately she didn't have too much money, and replaced all the rooms with this "new" big bed, otherwise, just like the Hai family, she would lose her money in vain, and she would die of distress.

After changing rooms and taking a nap, Hai's was really much more energetic, and his eyebrows flashed with happiness.

Lan Ya smiled secretly, it seems that these two people are really "flower candles in the cave room", but in broad daylight...... She wasn't sure if it was the same person who had shy changed rooms just now.

A few mouthfuls of the family began to pickle the cabbage, Yu Sanguang was responsible for cutting the cabbage, to put it bluntly, the outer layer of the cabbage was removed from the rough edge and the outermost layer of dirty cabbage leaves, leaving only the clean core inside.

Hai is responsible for washing the cabbage, just wash it with water.

Lan Ya and Lan Duo are responsible for transporting the washed cabbage to the warehouse next to the vat.

Orchid is responsible for pickling cabbage. Lan Ya only said it once, and Lan Xiang mastered the essentials.

To put it bluntly, it is to spread a layer of cabbage, sprinkle a layer of salt, and repeat the cycle until it is spread in a full tank.

The head of the jar is re-covered with a layer of clean vegetable leaves to prevent ash and oil from escaping into the jar, as long as a little oil seeps in, the jar of sauerkraut will rot.
