Chapter 40 Two Different Ways to Cook Sauerkraut
Jiang Lanqing was speechless, as if all the village women she met were like this.
She is not nosy, she went straight into the courtyard of Li Chengcai's house next door, and she could hear the two of them arguing non-stop.
Li Chengcai's house has a big yellow dog, and when she enters the yard, the dog comes out of the house and sniffs at her lap.
Li Chengcai's daughter, the eldest girl, walked out and called the yellow dog at Jiang Lanqing's feet: "Rhubarb, come here." ”
The big yellow dog is human, wagging his tail and sticking out his tongue, and runs to the big girl.
The eldest girl touched the rhubarb head, then looked at Jiang Lanqing, and asked tentatively, "Are you here to buy tofu?" ”
Jiang Lanqing smiled embarrassedly and shook his head: "No, I'm here to ask for some brine." ”
The eldest girl frowned and glanced at Jiang Lanqing, with a look of underestimation in her eyes, standing motionless.
Fortunately, when the door opened, Li Chengcai's daughter-in-law came out of the house, resolving Jiang Lanqing's embarrassment, she smiled and said to Jiang Lanqing: "This girl is spoiled, don't give her a bad look." ”
Seeing Jiang Lanqing smiling and saying that it was okay, she glared at the eldest girl: "Don't go and scoop some brine for the little lady." ”
The eldest girl was glared at by her mother, dissatisfied with Jiang Lanqing, and said angrily: "Bring it." "Let Jiang Lanqing give her the crockpot in his hand.
Handing over the crockpot, Jiang Lanqing smiled politely and thanked him first, making the eldest girl blush, and snorted softly and took the jar into the house.
"Little lady, let's go into the house and sit down!" Li Chengcai's daughter-in-law and Jiang Lanqing are not familiar with each other, they haven't met a few times, and they can't talk about liking or hating them.
"No need, there's something going on at home!" Jiang Lanqing politely refused.
Li Chengcai's daughter-in-law was not reluctant, she would not hear Li Ergou's quarrel, she diverted the topic: "These two have finally stopped." ”
It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and as long as the husband and wife quarrel and do not fight, they will generally not persuade them to fight, after all, it is their own business.
Jiang Lanqing smiled and didn't speak.
The big girl came out with a crockpot, and her voice was as hard as a stick: "Here you go." ”
Jiang Lan said thank you, turned around and left, and when he arrived at the door, he almost bumped into the person who came in the door.
Rushing head-on, the two almost collided, dissatisfied, and when they saw each other clearly, both sides showed a smile.
"What a coincidence, Sanhui's sister-in-law came to buy tofu?" Jiang Lan asked with a smile.
Luo Sanhui smiled: "Yes, you too?" ”
Jiang Lanqing shook his head: "I want to make some sauerkraut to ask for some brine for Aunt Li." ”
"Sauerkraut with brine?" Luo Sanhui heard about it for the first time.
Jiang Lanqing smiled and nodded, the sapling told her that the people here do not make sauerkraut, but shred the cabbage or cabbage and put it in a clay pot, step on it tightly, pour water to close it, and wait for ten days and a half months.
It's not the same as the old jar sauerkraut she made.
Luo Sanhui asked Jiang Lanqing to wait for her and go to her house to sit down, Jiang Lanqing said that there was something else at home, and another day, she said mysteriously: "I have something I want to ask you for help." ”
Help? Jiang Lanqing's first reaction was what could she do to help Luo Sanhui? But out of politeness, she didn't ask, so she had to agree to go and see what was going on first.
Luo Sanhui asked for two pieces of tofu, and the two went out together.
Suddenly, I heard a shouting voice from Li Ergou's house next door: "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, wake up quickly, why are you so stupid?" ”
Hearing this, the two looked at each other and said something was wrong.
"Let's go, let's see." Luo Sanhui pulled Jiang Lanqing and went to Li Ergou's house.
Even the families next door were alarmed and rushed over.
Luo Sanhui and Jiang Lanqing entered the door, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Li Ergou holding his daughter-in-law, crying with a handful of snot and tears.
