Make sauerkraut
When it was time to sleep, Wu and Wang both came to Mengxin's room. I was surprised to find that Meng Erlang and Meng Saburo and Pomegranate were all in Meng Xin's room.
Wu then asked, "What are you all doing here?" The crowd was so gathered. β
In particular, Wu was surprised to see Meng Saburo holding paper and pen in his hands.
Since this guy hasn't been reading, he throws these things as far as he can, let alone with a pen in his hand. This can make my father-in-law angry enough.
Meng Saburo replied, "Mother, mother, I'm busy." You see, I'm writing a recipe. Look at it ... β
Wu smiled and said, "What other recipes can you write, you can't do." As he spoke, he picked up the pieces of paper and looked at them. Wu was also literate, mainly taught by his father. But the handwriting is not very good-looking.
Wu was surprised to find that it was really a recipe, and it was made from soybeans.
"Oh, that's easy. It just so happened that there were a lot of soybeans at home, and I panicked when I looked at it. You can try to make the soy milk mentioned above tomorrow. It's going to take a few days to make this sauerkraut. Just tidy up the vegetable patch tomorrow. By the way, let's see what the situation is. Wu said as he looked at the recipe.
Several people shouted happily. Especially Monzaburo. Wu didn't think that these things could be sold, but there were too many soybeans at home. It's a pity to look upset and have worked so hard to grow things for your own livestock to eat.
"Alright, alright, you little ones should go to bed. If you don't sleep, you won't be able to get up tomorrow, and you won't grow tall," Wu said, driving everyone else back to their rooms to sleep.
Before going to bed, Meng Xin reminded, "Mother, remember to soak the soybeans later, and you can grind it tomorrow" Wu replied, "I know, I know, the housekeeper ... β
Wang took Zijing back to his house and went to sleep.
While sleeping, Wang said to Meng Dalang, "Today, your brothers are in Mengxin's room, and I don't know what to do, and I didn't call you over."
Meng Dalang replied, "Your two sons are also in Mengxin's room, if there is anything, it will definitely not miss our room, and Mengxin teaches your youngest son to study every day, you can see how well your youngest son is performing now." It's much better than his father. β
Wang thought about it, so he went to sleep under the covers.
Meng Shilang, Meng Ziqi and Meng Saburo, the three of them also went to sleep in the house. On the road, I was still talking, but I was carefully discussing what to eat tomorrow. Meng Saburo said to his mother with satisfaction, "Mother, tomorrow morning, you call me, I'll grind beans... β
Meng Erlang and Pomegranate went back to their house. Meng Erlang said to Pomegranate, you should follow the recipe written by San Lang when the time comes, and you should be able to take things out and sell them depending on San Lang's situation. I think I'm still bringing your little brother with me today.
Pomegranate nodded immediately and said, "Eun, okay, Erlang, I know." But I can't read the recipe yet, can you teach me to read! β
Meng Erlang replied, "Of course you can, come, I'll teach you how to write todayγγγγγγγ β
Meng Xin and his mother also went to sleep, turned off the lights in the room, and then lay on the bed and went into his own space to read a book for a while. Since he slept alone, Meng Xin would go to the space to read books every day before going to bed. Because I'm still young.,So I haven't started practicing words yet.,You can practice words later.,You also need to prepare a set of paper and pen in the space.γγγ
The next morning, Meng Xin came together and smelled the strong smell of soy milk. It was Wu who helped Meng Xin comb his hair and put on his clothes. I went to the kitchen to wash my face.
Meng Xin asked, "Mother, I smell a different fragrance"
Wu said: "You are clever. Yes. It's soy milk made according to yesterday's recipe, and I didn't expect it to taste good. In the future, you can add a soy milk to the breakfast at home, otherwise there are too many beans, and the remaining bean dregs are just left for the family's livestock to eat. The best of both worlds... β
Meng Xin washed it, came to the table, looked at everyone's bowl with a bowl of white things, and knew that it was soy milk. So he drank it too. The taste is exactly the same as that of modern times, and it is more intense than modern flavors.
Nodding his head as he ate. I quickly finished drinking the soy milk, and ate some other things to be full. A few of the smaller ones went to school.
Meng Saburo began to remind his second sister-in-law and mother to start making sauerkraut. Meng Saburo took the recipe and read it to his second sister-in-law and mother-in-law. The two of them couldn't stand being annoyed by Meng Saburo. So I made a small jar of sauerkraut according to the method.
Pick and wash the greens and chop them finely. Put a little flour and cold water together, and there must be no flour particles in the flour water.
Because white flour was a luxury in this era, Wu only gave a little flour. When you're done, put the chopped greens in the pot and blanch them, and put the white flour water in them while the vegetables are boiling. Finally, put the blanched vegetables and the water into the jar. Cover the lid because it's winter, the temperature is a bit low, and it takes two to three days for the dish to slowly turn sour. During this time, you also need to put some rice soup in it.
Finally finished the sauerkraut, and Meng Saburo moved the jar into his room. Then I happily went to work in my own field.
