Wang Pei and his wife discussed all the way, whether to report to the official, and finally thought of the infiltrating smiles of everyone in the courtyard, retreated, and went back to the countryside, and decided to think about whether there was any other way to ask for money again.

Tian Cui will return to his hometown for the New Year in a few days, and it is not easy to buy vegetables and meat for the New Year, even if there is, the price is terrible, so he will prepare some pickled vegetables in advance, as well as prepare some meat that is easy to preserve.

"Miss, what about so much garlic? What are you doing? Tian Cui knew that he wanted to pickle vegetables, and when he saw a sack of garlic, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

The family can't eat a few heads of garlic in a month, and the restaurant uses more, but what is the family going to do when they buy such a sack of garlic back.

Shen Yuerong thought of the laba garlic she was going to make, green as jade, garlic and spicy, and her saliva was about to run down.

In her previous life, she especially loved to eat laba garlic, and she had to pickle a small jar every year, and when she ate noodles and dumplings, she always had to catch a few, and it was a year to eat it, but she had been here for almost a year, and she had never seen laba garlic, so it is estimated that people here would not do it.

This laba garlic is not only delicious, but even the vinegar of pickled garlic has become particularly unique, and it is fragrant when used to dip dumplings.

"I'm going to make some laba garlic, come and come, and all the free ones will come out and peel the garlic." Shen Yuerong greeted everyone.

Today's weather is good, there is sun, it is not cold to work in the yard, everyone moved a small bench to peel garlic together in a circle, and chatted a few words.

Only Lin Muqiu was reluctant to work with his wife's shelf, and Shen Dashan and Shen Yuerong were also busy working together.

"Miss, don't do it, there are so many of us, it'll be over in a while." Bao Cui persuaded.

Shen Yuerong said nonchalantly: "It's okay, isn't it just peeling garlic?" I'm going to bask in the sun. ”

In this way, a little girl in the courtyard who was gorgeously dressed, with crystal jewelry and gold jewelry, and very handsome, sat on a low stool with an excited face peeling garlic, and hummed a little song that people couldn't understand from time to time.

Fortunately, it is in his own yard, and if he is seen outside, people will inevitably think that this beautiful girl has a quirk of peeling garlic.

The group peeled the purple garlic, cleaned and dried, and then put it into a waterless and oil-free clay pot, then poured in the best balsamic vinegar and covered the garlic cloves, sealed it, and then moved it to a cool place, waiting to be brewed.

Tian Cui asked suspiciously, "Miss, is this good?" Put it directly in vinegar without adding water, will it be too sour. ”

Everyone smelled the smell of vinegar in that jar just now, and they all felt that they were inverted, if this garlic was soaked for a few days, the acidity would be no worse than vinegar.

The weather in the north is generally soaked for ten days and eight days, and it is not so cold here, it is estimated that it will take a few more days to soak, and you should still be able to eat it in time for the New Year.

Shen Yuerong said with confidence: "No, this vinegar can soak out the spicy taste of garlic, and then absorb a little vinegar, the taste is good, if you put water in it, it will be easy to spoil, you can wait to eat it during the New Year." ”

Under the guidance of Shen Yuerong, Tian Cui and Aunt Liu pickled spicy cabbage and Northeast sauerkraut, and then Tian Cui also pickled Shen Yuerong's favorite sour beans, sour bamboo shoots, and radish strips.

The next day, Tian Cui was busy making bacon again, which is a must-make food here for the New Year.

In the countryside, in order to keep the meat longer, the excess meat will be made into bacon, which can be eaten for a year.

And because the Shen family was poor before, the pigs they raised were to be sold for money, so they would cut some good meat to eat during the New Year, and they didn't make bacon at all.

Tian Cui first cut the meat into strips, pierced many small holes with bamboo skewers, marinated them, and then pressed the meat strips, waiting for two days to press the meat before smoking the meat.

Shen Yuerong bought some fish again, and asked Tian Cui to make smoked fish.

The smoky smell soon wafted throughout the courtyard, making the home suddenly have a New Year's atmosphere, making people unconsciously happy.

"Sister, sister, I'm on vacation." Shen Nianhua ran over happily, followed by Zhou Zheng and Liu Fufu, both of whom were holding the books that Shen Nianhua had stored in the school before.

"Sister, where are you going to take me to play? Liu Hao said that their family is also going to play, to Baiyun Mountain. "Shen Nianhua's excitement for a year.

Baiyun Mountain is not far away, but it is freezing on this day, Shen Yuerong is reluctant to go to the mountain to blow the cold wind, she has already asked where to go two days ago.

Shen Yuerong touched Shen Nianhua's head and said: "Sister will take you to Huxiao County to play for a few days, I heard that there is a hot spring somewhere, this weather, soaking in the hot spring and eating delicious snacks is simply the best." ”

Liu Hao didn't go so far to the next county, but I was able to go that far.

Shen Nianhua's eyes were round, his face was red with excitement, and he was bouncing: "Okay, I'm going, brother-in-law and uncle housekeeper are going together?" ”

Shen Yuerong looked at Shen Nianhua with an expectant expression, so she had to say, "He shouldn't be able to go if he's so busy, I'll go and ask." ”

"Eun." Shen Nianhua was very excited.

At the end of the year, it is also necessary to go out for a trip, and there is no business in the restaurant recently, so there is nothing to do, so it is a good opportunity to take the opportunity to go out for a walk.

At dinner time, Shen Yuerong talked to Shen Dashan and Lin Muqiu.

Lin Muqiu shook his head and refused: "It's so far, I can't go, although I can take the carriage, but it's tiring to sit for most of the day, it's better to sleep at home." What kind of hot spring water, I dig some well water is also warm, and I can soak it at home. ”

Shen Dashan didn't want to go either: "Yue'er, why don't you take Nian'er with you?" I don't want to go that far, it's weird. ”

These ones are lazier than me.

Shen Jing was unhappy: "I'm going too." ”

Shen Yuerong's eyes lit up, and she finally had a cheer: "Okay, then I'll take Nian'er and Jing'er together." ”

The two little furry children were very happy.

Lin Muqiu muttered: "You are not allowed to go, what are you doing running so far in such a cold?" Stay at home honestly for me. ”

Shen Jing's mouth pursed, tears were about to fall, and he felt that he was about to open his mouth to call his stepmother in the next second.

Lin Muqiu hurriedly changed his words: "Then you bring all the treasures and jewels, otherwise how can Yue'er take care of the two children alone, anyway, Tian Cui hasn't returned home yet, and the family is enough." ”

Lin Muqiu pouted, obviously very unhappy.

But it was not easy to have a better relationship with Shen Jing, and Lin Muqiu was really afraid of Shen Jing's stepmother.

Shen Jing burst into tears and laughed, and danced excitedly with Shen Nianhua.

After dinner, Shen Yuerong originally wanted to ask Gu Jinghuai, but as soon as she went out, the cold wind went straight into her neck, and she retreated.

"Lin Feng, if you go to the county office, just say that I will take my younger brothers to Huxiao County to take a hot spring in the day after tomorrow, Gu Xianling and Steward Huang will go to have fun together if they have time."
