Chapter 11: Salt and Canning

"Whoa."

Liu Cheng responded very happily, his eyes were very bright, did the Chen family's sister send salt to their family? The sister of the Chen family is really open-minded when she speaks.

Thinking of this, Liu Cheng's heart warmed, he had to cook something delicious for the Chen family's sister.

"Brother Chengzi, don't worry, let's take a look at what I took first."

Chen Ping shouted, Liu Chengcheng hurriedly put things on the kang table.

"Girl, what is this?"

Grandma Ma looked at the things on the kang table and was a little puzzled, what was in that bottle-like thing? That bottle is strangely good-looking, as if it is transparent, she can see the contents of it, she doesn't know it, it must be very expensive, right?

There was also a bag, and she didn't know what was inside, but she didn't see the salt.

"Grandma, Brother Chengzi, this is salt, this is canned food."

Chen Ping introduced to them that the people here eat coarse salt, and it is not strange that they don't know modern salt, but they don't know this canned food either?

"Salt? Is this salt? ”

Grandma Ma didn't care about the cans first, first look at the salt, what is this salt? She'd never seen salt like this.

Liu Cheng is also a little flustered, this thing is salt?

Chen Ping looked at their appearance, picked up a bag of salt without saying a word, tore the bag open, poured some into the palm of his hand, handed it to Grandma Ma, and said with a smile: "Grandma, taste it and see if it is salty." ”

Grandma Ma watched as Chen Ping poured something out of the small bag like magic, and then looked at the little snow white in Chen Ping's palm, it was like fine sand, could this be salt?

The salt is all large-grained, and even if it is crushed, it can't be so fine.

However, Grandma Ma still stretched out her thin hand and pinched it a little, and then put it in her mouth tremblingly.

Chen Ping saw that Grandma Ma's face was constantly changing, and in the end, she nodded excitedly, thinking that she had tasted salty.

Chen Ping stretched out his hand in front of Liu Cheng again, Liu Cheng looked at the hand, the chubby hand was white and ruddy, and the palm was snow-white, except for surprise, he blushed slightly.

Stretched out his hand and pinched a little salt in Chen Ping's palm, he felt like an electric shock, and hurriedly put the salt in his mouth and tasted it.

"Well, well, it's salty, it's salty, it's salt, it's salt."

Grandma Ma couldn't stop talking, and after speaking, she looked at the salt in Chen Ping's palm, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and said, "Girl, why is this salt so fine?" It's not the same salt we eat here. ”

Liu Cheng also nodded, he also tasted the salty taste.

"Grandma, Brother Chengzi, this is called refined salt, which is much easier to use than coarse salt, and no one uses coarse salt except for pickles or something."

Chen Ping smiled, she could see that Grandma Ma was very happy, and she was also happy.

"It's a good day for you to have a pimple there, we don't have this pimple here, and all we sell in that town is coarse salt. Girl, it's good to hear this refined salt, you give us so much, we can't afford it, we just need this. ”

Grandma Ma is not a greedy person, salt is expensive, Chen Ping takes so much, she feels that she can't accept it.

"Look at what grandma said, this is out of sight. We didn't have a kiss and no reason, I came to the door, and you and Brother Chengzi didn't kick me out, I didn't care about eating and drinking, and I was killed as a chicken, and I was treated as a guest, I was not embarrassed. ”

Chen Ping is also telling the truth, the people here are hospitable, generally people who don't know come to the door, they will give a bowl of rice to eat, but there are no rules on what to eat for you, you can kill chickens, that is the treatment of distinguished guests or new aunts.

"My daughter said so, then we will be cheeky and take it, Chengzi, Chengzi, bring the salt shaker quickly."

Grandma Ma didn't be polite anymore and asked Liu Cheng to get the salt shaker.

Chen Ping slapped the salt in her palm on the table.

Liu Cheng came over with a salt shaker here, and Chen Ping helped tear all the salt open, and then poured it into the salt shaker.

The salt jar is the kind of old-fashioned ceramic pipe, which is a little large, and several bags of salt are poured into it, and it is only a little filled, especially this refined salt, which is too fine, not like coarse salt to occupy space.

Liu Cheng looked at the salt, and couldn't calm down, how could the salt be so white and so fine? Is this really salt?

"It's salt, it's salt, it's salty."

Grandma Ma chattered while carefully pulling the little salt chop on Chen Ping's table into the salt jar, and she didn't stop until there was no salt on the table.

The crystal white inside the salt shaker made both grandparents smile.

Looking at their smiles, Chen Ping was very satisfied, people are like this, sometimes it is a small thing for you, but for others, it is a big thing, helping people makes her feel very beautiful.

"Thank you, sister of the Chen family."

Liu Cheng held the salt shaker and thanked him sincerely, such a good salt must be very expensive, the sister of the Chen family is really exquisite.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, Brother Chengzi, don't call me the old Chen family's sister, the Chen family's sister, you can call me Chen Ping or Pingzi."

Got the sincere gratitude of the people Fat Chen Ping was a little fluttering, it was at this time that Chen Ping heard the prompt, and she got two points of friendliness, one from Grandma Ma and one from Liu Cheng.

And friendliness, what is it?

Chen Ping was puzzled, it turned out that the stele had not told him about the friendliness.

Chen Ping wanted to ask, but now in front of people, she didn't have that mind, and it was not too late to study it later.

"Okay, then I'll call you Pingzi in the future."

Liu Cheng said with a smile in his eyes, although he had only known Chen Ping for two days, he felt that Chen Ping was a good person.

Grandma Ma also smiled and nodded, this girl is not delicate and pretentious, she is a good one.

"Pingzi...... Girl, what is this? ”

Liu Cheng put the salt away, and when he came to set up the meal, he pointed to the cans on the table and asked.

"That's right, Pingzi said it was canned just now, I have seen canned food once, I haven't eaten it, it's a rarity, but the canned food I saw is from a tin box, this is?"

Only then did Wang Cai think of this can, he only cared about salt before, and he forgot about the can.

Yes, Chen Ping remembered the anti-Japanese TV she watched, those canned food were indeed tin boxes, it was indeed a rarity, this glass was not popular at that time, and it was not strange that they didn't recognize it.

"This is called canned fruit, and it is glass on the outside, which looks good, but it is not strong, and it can't fall to the ground, and it will break if it falls on the ground."

Chen Ping said.

"Canned fruit, can this fruit be canned? Pingzi, but it broke your bank. ”

Grandma Ma also thinks it's very strange, this glass is also a strange, this daughter named Chen Ping lives in a tunzi that must be much better than them here, otherwise how can she come up with so many rare things? But she hadn't heard of that Tunzi having such a good life, and she hadn't seen it in the best towns.

And Chen Ping's clothes are different from them, she can't tell what kind of cloth it is, Chen Ping's face is very good, and her figure is not short of food, which Tunzi's life is so good? She was puzzled, but she didn't want to ask.
