"Hey, look at what my aunt said, it's just a worthless thing, how can I let my aunt thank me! I, as a sister-in-law, can't express that I can do as much as I want, and I don't have much in my family, so I'll have a lot of green plums at this time. ”

Li Xiaoshuang waved her hand, and hurriedly welcomed Yang Jinfeng into the house, and showed her the green plums drying in the yard: "But there is no fresh one, I will dry it after pulling it back, I'll pick some of the ones to pick later!" ”

"Oh good! In those days, I saw you and Lei'er coming back from the mountains every day, but I couldn't imagine so much! Yang Jinfeng looked at the green plums in the yard, and while speaking in surprise, he handed the basket he was carrying on his wrist to Li Xiaoshuang.

"What are you going to do with all this?" Yang Jinfeng followed Li Xiaoshuang to the edge of the yard, where the green plums that had just been picked yesterday were drying.

"I'm going to marinate it in the tank."

Li Xiaoshuang squatted on the ground, holding the green plums on the bamboo mat into the basket brought by Yang Jinfeng with both hands, and suddenly remembered what he was planning to do outside, so he looked up at Yang Jinfeng and asked, "By the way, auntie, do you have a spare vat to lend me?" I don't have a jar at home, so I just went out to go to your house to have a look and ask. ”

Yang Jinfeng thought for a while and said: "Yes, it seems that there are still two or three idle, two wine-making tanks over a large water tank, let Lei'er go to my house to move later!" ”

Li Xiaoshuang hurriedly thanked: "Okay, then thank you, auntie, I'm still worried that there is no tank to use!" I didn't expect that my aunt would be relieved of my troubles at this time. ”

Yang Jinfeng stopped his hand, saying that it was okay, looking at the green plums that had already passed half a basket, he hurriedly took Li Xiaoshuang's hand and said: "Enough is enough, you can't eat so much, this pregnant child is also the same every day, today I said that I want to eat sour, Ming'er may not know what she wants to eat, don't do so much, so as not to waste it, this half basket is enough for her to eat for a while!" ”

Li Xiaoshuang added two more handfuls to the basket before she stopped, and said indifferently: "It's okay to pretend more, if I come over a few days later, my green plums here are probably dry, and then Xiaoyong's daughter-in-law won't have green plums to get tired!" ”

"At that time, I still want to eat sour, no one can do that! It's good to endure it, whose women don't come here like this. Yang Jinfeng smiled, not at all as unconcerned as he said, if Xiaoyong's daughter-in-law really wanted to eat sour, maybe Yang Jinfeng would try her best to satisfy it.

"Auntie is hard-mouthed, who doesn't know that the most beloved daughter-in-law in this Zhangjia Village is you, auntie." Li Xiaoshuang smiled, stood up and handed her the basket, and stood at the door and talked for a while before sending Yang Jinfeng away.

When Zhang Leier came back, Li Xiaoshuang took Zhang Leier to Yang Jinfeng's house to move the vat.

The two of them worked together to carry the vat home, carefully scrubbed it with straw, and scalded it with boiling water before stopping.

After washing the jar and placing the vat in the courtyard to dry, Li Xiaoshuang boiled the water again, filled a pot of water, poured it into the drying vat after boiling, and stirred it with the salt he bought earlier.

Because of the high price of salt, Li Xiaoshuang didn't put much, took a small amount of salt water and tasted it, only felt a slight salty taste and stopped.

After the salt water cooled through, all the green plums that had been dried and wrinkled with a layer of skin were poured into the large vat, soaked in the salt water, and the green plums of the whole yard had just slowed down a large vat.

The cylinder mouth is closed and you're done, just waiting for some time to remove the lid and dry, and the dried green plum is almost complete.

After doing everything, Li Xiaoshuang and Zhang Leier were both a little tired and weak, and sat on the bench in the lower hall to rest, while Zhang Liner was watering and drenching vegetables in the backyard.

Time flies, and it's time to uncover the pickled plums.

Early this morning, Li Xiaoshuang untied the strip of cotton cloth wrapped around the mouth of the large vat with trepidation, and as soon as she lifted the lid, she smelled the sour and salty smell emanating from the vat.

Li Xiaoshuang took a look and saw that the original green plum had turned yellow at this time, and the color looked very delicious.

took the clean chopsticks prepared in the morning, took a green plum out and handed it to Zhang Leier.

Zhang Lei'er swallowed her saliva, twisted it into her mouth very nervously, and the moment she bit into Qingmei, her frowning brows relaxed, and her bright little eyes looked at Li Xiaoshuang and nodded slightly.

Li Xiaoshuang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and handed another one to Zhang Lin'er, and finally put one into her mouth.

The three flavors of sweet and sour and salty fill the mouth, constantly stimulating the taste buds, and a large amount of fluid overflows between the throats.

Li Xiaoshuang quickly finished eating the green plum, threw the kernel into the trash can next to her, and began to get busy.

The early green plums are scooped out and put into the prepared clean wooden barrels, while Zhang Leier is responsible for carrying the wooden barrels into the kitchen, pouring them into a large pot covered with cotton cloth, and Zhang Lin'er is cooking and drying.

While Zhang Lin'er was burning the fire and drying, Li Xiaoshuang and Zhang Leier hurriedly went to buy two small clay pots to wash and prepare to be filled with dried green plums.

Li Xiaoshuang didn't dare to buy more, and she didn't dare to make more of this batch of dried green plums, so she only made a small half of a wooden barrel about the amount of two small crockpots.

Zhang Lin'er burned the fire for an afternoon before the small half bucket of green plums was half dry, and the three of them took turns to work until the afternoon of the next day, when the green plums were completely dried.

Li Xiaoshuang stuffed a dried green plum into her mouth, which was different from the taste before drying, the dried green plum was a little less sour and a little more sweet, and compared with the crispness before drying, this dried green plum was a little more soft and tender.

Each has its own taste!

Li Xiaoshuang plans to take these two cans of dried green plums and two cans of pickled green plums to the market tomorrow to test the water and see how the response is. At the same time, he also did not forget to ask Zhang Lin'er to bring more than half a bucket of green plums to bake.

Early the next morning, Li Xiaoshuang got up early, called Zhang Lei'er up, and after the two washed quickly, they carried four crockpots to the town market.

Today is the market day, and along the way, I met many villagers from the surrounding villages rushing to the market, some on foot and some on ox carts.

If it weren't for the fact that she didn't have much money on her, Li Xiaoshuang would also want to take an ox cart to catch the market, but the ox cart would cost two cents per person, and Li Xiaoshuang, who didn't know what the market of her childhood plum was, still didn't dare to spend money.

You must know that a lot of money has been invested in this green plum during this time.

The mother and son walked for nearly an hour, and finally arrived at the town's market, and although it was just dawn, the streets on both sides were already full of people selling and selling.

Li Xiaoshuang hurriedly took Zhang Lei'er to find an open space and sat down, and put four small cans in front of her, with a few pairs of chopsticks, two small bowls and two wooden spoons next to them.
