After resting for one night, the next day Lily got up again in good spirits to contribute to her little day.

Now she has tender green cowpeas, red carrots, pale yellow ginger, old green courgettes, and white radishes, all of which are suitable for pickling.

The craft of lily pickled kimchi was learned from Sichuan classmates in the previous life, and people in Qingliu Town also pickled kimchi for winter eating, but it was always salty, far less sour and fragrant than Sichuan kimchi.

The important step of kimchi is to raise the jar, the lily lacks chili peppers at hand, so it has to be simplified, omitting this seasoning, and seasoning with pepper, ginger, garlic, salt, vinegar, star anise, etc., to make a jar of thick kimchi water.

Several dishes were washed cleanly, but any place where there was a little mold and worm had to be cut off and stacked neatly together. Pinch the head and tail of the cowpea, and cut the tassel off the carrot.

Most of the turnips were still lying in the ground, and the lilies were plucked out of the small ones, and the tassels and tail whiskers were removed, and the small ones were kept in whole and the large ones were all in half.

Courgettes are the most tender and only need to be washed, and the ginger scrapes off the old skin on the outside, revealing the pale yellow ginger flesh inside.

Take a scalded jar, which should be well sealed and not breathable. First put the cowpeas on a plate, stack them at the bottom of the tank, press the radish on the top, then the carrot, the courgette is more tender than the first few vegetables, put it on the top of the carrot, and finally stack the ginger cubes, and increase half a jar of cold boiled water.

Then pour the thick kimchi water into it, cover it with ginger, and then seal the mouth of the jar with water and a small amount of rapeseed oil, and wait for a few days to eat the kimchi.

She made a total of four jars of pickles, and put them in one place with the pickled toon and bracken jars in the spring, and there were a lot of jars and jars at home, and Song Haonian also laughed at her: "How did you write down all these jars one by one?"

He hadn't seen Lily remember it wrong.

Lily smiled and said, "I have my own secrets. Show him the symbols that he drew on the jar with fire, "This is for pickled toon, this is for pickled bracken, this is for slurry water, and this is for mash."

The symbols are clear and have different shapes, and they will never be confused.

Illiterate women in the countryside often have such ingenious thoughts, and some people also draw marks under the wings of their chickens and ducks in order to identify, Lily's way of doing this is just ordinary, Song Haonian has no suspicion at all, only that his daughter-in-law has good intentions.

If the kimchi is flooded, you can eat it in half a month, and half a month later, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Liu Yi had already told his brothers that August 16 was a good day, and he set off early in the morning to hunt in the mountains. In these days in early August, Song Haonian sharpened his firewood knife and axe at home, found the bow and arrow that he had not used for a long time, and repaired it little by little with a knife.

The bow was made by him from the good wood he found in the mountains, and Liu Sanping helped to make it little by little, and when he didn't use it, he removed the bowstring and put it up, so as not to loosen it for too long. If you want to use it, stretch the bowstring at both ends and curve it into a half-moon curved bow.

The arrows are also made by home, made of hard and straight wood, sharpened at the top, and the tail is inlaid with feathers left by killing chickens, which is a very powerful arrow.

Lily had never seen a bow and arrow that was really used for hunting, and she didn't believe that wooden arrows could shoot through prey, so Song Haonian happened to try the bow and said with a smile: "Then let you see and understand." ”

He looked around, and everything in his house was a treasure, so naturally he couldn't shoot a hole casually, so he aimed at the willow tree outside the yard.

The willow tree was more than fifty paces away from him, and its trunk was covered with hard black-brown bark, and the lily had to cut it with a knife, and it had to be cut several times before it left a mark.

Song Haonian stood still, his feet were not eight, and he slowly opened the bow with arrows. Yuri stared at him unblinkingly, feeling that this man suddenly possessed a powerful aura that made her heart pound.

The bowstring was stretched to the extreme, Song Haonian suddenly let go of his right hand, and the arrow from the string shot out at a speed that was indistinct to the naked eye, and the lily was dizzying, and his eyes tracked the arrow feather again, and it was already nailed to the willow tree trembling.

Lily was very surprised, ran over and tried to pull it out, but this time the nail was very deep, and she couldn't pull it out all of a sudden, so she had to look back at Song Haonian.

Song Haonian laughed, walked over and pulled out the wooden arrow, Lily saw the arrow nailed into the trunk of the tree an inch deep, this is a tough willow tree, if it is replaced by an animal, I am afraid that it will be shot through.

Lily eyes full of worship, so that Song Haonian is very proud, he played a small worship of the emperor's deeds of the Tartars, in order to be able to go into battle to kill the enemy in the future, there is no less hard practice of knife archery.

It's just that if Chengping is today, he didn't get the opportunity to fight, but he was able to use this craft to support his small family. If he was younger, I am afraid that it would be a pity, but now he is no longer a frivolous and disgusting teenager, and the weight of his daughter-in-law and family in his mind has long exceeded everything.

Lily asked curiously, "Isn't the government forbidden to bow and arrow?"

Song Haonian said: "How many countrymen rely on this to eat, where is it forbidden." "What is really forbidden to be used by the people is the crossbow machine, the power of the bow and arrow is different, you can see it everywhere, which male doll has not played with a small bow when he was a child?

Song Haonian repaired his weapons while doing some heavy work at home, and Lily packed his luggage, dry food, medicinal herbs, and made a few pairs of wearable shoes and socks for him.

Hunting is different from going out to sell goods, so you need to prepare more wound medicine. The pharmacy in the town only provided some ordinary bone-setting and detoxification medicines, and Lily was worried, so she asked Li Caifeng if there was any good medicine.

Li Caifeng knew that Lily was the first time to go through this matter, she was inexperienced, and there was panic, so she first told her: "They are used to following my family into the mountains to hunt in the New Year, and there has never been a major incident, don't worry." ”

"There are also many miles of medicinal herbs in the mountains, and they go into the mountains not only to hunt, but also to collect some medicinal herbs. You just asked me about the medicine to stop bleeding and cure snake venom, and you don't know if the medicine in the town pharmacy was brought out of the mountains. ”

The mountains are rich in products, you can find precious medicinal materials, Liu Yi they go into the mountains to hunt, what medicinal materials are needed are picked and used, Liu Yi also knows a lot of practical earthwork, common minor diseases can be cured.

Lily was a little relieved at this time, and in the end she asked Li Caifeng a lot of things before going home to continue to prepare.

Li Caifeng stopped her: "It's going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, are you ready?"

Lily smiled: "Sister Caifeng, don't look at me like this, just treat me stupidly, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a big day, I have to have a good time, I am ready." ”

Li Caifeng was relieved.

These days, Song Haonian saw that something was wrong with Lily, and he didn't know how to persuade her to relax, at this time, when he saw her coming back from Liu Yi's house, her eyebrows were also relaxed, and she was no longer nervous, so she smiled and said, "What kind of good thing has happened to her?"

Lily pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't encounter any additional good things, but she let go of a big thing in her heart.

She said to Song Haonian: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is a reunion festival, we just don't go back to our in-laws for the festival, we have to send something back." ”

It is her filial piety that the daughter-in-law can think of her father, but Song Haonian began to frown when she thought about the appearance of her family: Such a good daughter-in-law, can she bring it back to others?

He reluctantly said, "Whatever you want, find someone to send it back." ”

"I know. Lily smiled and agreed, in the end, there was no casual, took moon cakes, pomegranates, pumpkin seeds, and croquettes to make a four-color ceremony, wrapped them all the same and put them in the basket, and invited Song Haonian to look at them.

Song Haonian knew that his daughter-in-law was sensible, but he was afraid that she would wronged him: "Is there any old man and mother-in-law?"

People are all raised by their fathers and mothers, and they didn't send anything to their parents, but they missed the truth of their father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Lily smiled and said, "There are also miles, and they are all the same." ”

The water spilled by the daughter who came to marry is only for the in-laws, there are those who have the heart to take care of their mother's family, and they are afraid of what people say, and there are those who hollow out their mother-in-law's family to subsidize their mother's family, and so on.

Lily tried her best to level a bowl of water, to give her father-in-law and mother-in-law's filial piety, and to prepare a copy for her father and mother, it just so happened that Song Haonian also thought so, and the two young couples thought of one place, and they were even more harmonious and intimate.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Song Haonian carried a basket to send the four-color gift to his father, and received a bunch of cold words as usual, Niu said meanly: "Don't have filial piety, and the daughter-in-law doesn't come to serve her in-laws, so she will use these things to call Huazili?"

Song Haonian's heart was cold, and his face was not good-looking: "My family is in difficulty, only these things, my mother can't look at them, so I will take them back and eat them myself." ”

Niu Shi hurriedly took the things and muttered: "I don't like these rags." "I didn't relax at all under my hands, I locked it all in my box, and only took it out to my youngest son and grandson when I was about to eat, and no one else wanted to touch it.

Song Haonian was really unhappy to see his family's face, turned around and was about to leave, Dong was cooking under the kitchen, a large family, no one even said the kind words of "stay and eat", Song Haojie and Song Xiuxiu also laughed: "The second brother is busy going home to see the second sister-in-law, how can there be us in his eyes?"

Jinbao was already holding Niu's thigh and howling: "I want to eat meatballs!"

Went home with a stomach full of turbidity, walked outside the house, smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen, Song Haonian took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, and felt a little better: didn't he have already made up his mind to only live with his daughter-in-law? Daddy and mother, they have always been like that, what else is there to say?

Today Lily opened a jar of kimchi, and it is ready to eat. Kimchi is a versatile thing, no matter what kind of cooking can be eaten as a dish, she scooped up some cowpeas, turnips, carrots chopped, and mixed with cooked rapeseed oil, it is a refreshing and appetizing side dish.

Song Haonian never forgot the pumpkin rice last time, she made another pot, with kimchi, fried small balls, Song Haonian ate two bowls in one go, his stomach was warm and comfortable, and his face was relaxed.

Lily then asked, "Are you angry again when you go back today?"

Song Haonian didn't keep things in his heart, and said to Lily casually: "You still don't know?" Lily didn't ask in detail, it was just a few cautious people who made careful things to add to people's blockages, she only comforted Song Haonian: "Relax your heart, we have to live our lives well, and we can't afford to be angry with them." ”
