Chapter Eighty-Four: Water Chestnuts and Lean Spring Rolls

"The vegetables are all old, it is better to pickle them, you can eat them for a long time, and you can sell some of them in the market. By the way, I'll try it first, how effective is it to sell it in the market, if it's good, let's collect the cabbage and pickle it and sell it. ”

As soon as Wang Xiao heard that there was money to be made, he was motivated, so he used a dustpan to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden.

There are more than 100 cabbages in the vegetable garden, and the vegetable garden is usually taken care of by Wang Xiao, so after he cuts the cabbage, he picks it back to the yard with a dustpan.

After all the cabbage was cut, Wang Xiao pondered what vegetables to plant next.

The children all got up at this time, so Liu Wan asked them to go to breakfast first, and then help him with his work after eating.

Wu Hui's porridge was also good, and she also divided the porridge.

"Mother, why did you take back all the cabbage?"

Wu Hui also asked at this time.

"The cabbage is almost old in the ground, so hurry up and cut it back, otherwise it won't be delicious." Liu Wan said.

"It's okay, the elder's leaves can be eaten by pigs and chickens."

Wu Hui explained.

Liu Wan was a little confused all of a sudden, that's right, she cut down all the cabbage, what do pigs and chickens eat?

Liu Wan said: "I am going to pickle spicy cabbage, which is appetizing and refreshing, and I can also sell it in the market, and after selling it for money, I will buy more brown rice and bran for the pigs to eat." ”

"Mother, you are really generous, you are the first person in the village to feed pigs with brown rice."

Wu Huile is happy.

This is not ironic, indeed, people can't eat enough, can they still give brown rice to pigs?

Pigs have always eaten pigweed, and if you can add some rice bran to the pigweed you have brought in, it will be considered an extra meal.

Liu Wan smiled helplessly, but she was not angry because of Wu Hui's words, and said:

"Isn't that a brain pump? The vegetables have been cut down, and there is no way to plant them back.

Hurry up and eat, and help me wash the vegetables after eating. ”

Wu Hui's lean meat and salty porridge is no longer hot, just in the mouth, the fragrant meat smell arouses everyone's gluttony, and then a piece of crystal clear kudzu root cake just suppresses a little greasy in the porridge, it doesn't feel too cool.

The two little ones only ate two pieces of kudzu root cake and a bowl of meat porridge, and then they stopped.

After everyone finished eating, they all obediently went to help Liu Wan wash the vegetables.

Liu Wan asked them to break off the cabbage leaves one by one, and put the older leaves on the side in a pile to feed the pigs, chickens and ducks.

The young leaves are washed, placed in a dustpan and slightly dehydrated in the sun before pickling.

The children washed the cabbage, and Liu Wan herself prepared the condiments for pickling and spicy cabbage.

She had bought a lot of millet peppers at the market, and the peppers were red and spicy, and the pickled cabbage came in handy.

Liu Wan chopped the millet pepper, added a lot of salt, stirred it into a bowl of chili noodles, and waited for the cabbage leaves to dry for almost an hour, and then she used the chili noodles to smear the cabbage on both sides, and put it into the ceramic jar one by one.

When it was full, he covered it with a lid and put another jar.

There were too many cabbages cut in the morning, and Liu Wan used up all the peppers she bought at the vegetable market, so she stopped pickling cabbage.

Wu Hui knew that Liu Wan's Chaotian pepper was bought for more than 500 yuan, so she was worried again.

Wu Hui doesn't like the need to spend money before making money.

"Mother, what are we going to eat at noon?"

Wang Lian worked for more than two hours, and she cared about food again.

Liu Wan took a look and found the water chestnuts piled up in the corner of the yard, and immediately had an idea, saying:

"Let's make water chestnuts and lean spring rolls in the afternoon. Do you see the meat seller in the village is here? If you do, tell me that I have to buy a pork lard to make this delicious dish. ”

"Okay." Wang Lian took the order and left.

She is a snacker, and when she has good food, she has enthusiasm.

Liu Wan put all the spicy cabbage in the jar, and it was almost 10:30 in the morning.

Because she kept hunching over and filling the clay pot with vegetable leaves, Liu Wan's waist couldn't straighten up at this time.

She couldn't help but thump her waist with her fist and backhand.

Wang Xiao and Wu Hui are making braised chicken feet.

The boneless chicken feet had to be deboned, Wang Xiao was reluctant to let Wu Hui work hard, so he did it himself and let Wu Hui adjust the marinade.

Even if you are pregnant, it is impossible to be completely idle, poor people are like this, and it is already preferential treatment to be able to do light work.

Wang Jing was busy making his tiger hunting cage.

According to his own design, Wang Jing has begun to sawn out timbers of different thicknesses, and others cannot understand the purpose of these woods, but Wang Jing himself knows it.

Wu Hui has been very polite to Wang Jing recently, and in between his work, he will take a few wild fruits picked in the mountains to slap him, which makes Wang Jing flattered.

Fortunately, Wang Jing knew that it was because of the tiger cage, so the sister-in-law suddenly treated herself so well that she wouldn't think crookedly.

Liu Wan pounded her waist and asked Wang Jing: "Jing'er, have you gone to the village to accept apprentices?" ”

Wang Jing shook his head embarrassedly and said, "Not yet!" ”

Liu Wan knew that he was still troubled by inferiority complex, so he didn't dare to speak, so he said:

"Why don't I ask Uncle Xie to help you ask? He is very popular in the village. ”

As soon as Wang Jing heard Xie Tietou's name, his eyes lit up, and then he nodded.

Obviously, he also wants to behave well in front of his father-in-law.

Liu Wan knew what he meant, and she didn't poke it, and was going to go to Xie Tietou after lunch.

At this time, Wang Lian ran and said, "Mother, the pork seller is here, and he is about to go to the village." ”

"Okay, I'll go."

Pigs are not killed every day in the village, because people can't afford to buy pork, and if you kill a pig, a village can't sell it all in a day.

There are butchers who carry the burden and peddle pork in various villages, often having to travel several villages to sell it out.

When Liu Wan walked to the village, she saw that the butcher was resting in the pavilion where meat was used to selling meat in the village, so Liu Wan greeted and said:

"Do you have pork net oil today?"

The butcher nodded and said, "Yes, do you want to cut it?" ”

"No, I'm going to take the whole one." Liu Wan said.

The butcher showed her the whole sheet of lard.

The lard net fat is the abdominal fascia, transparent as a membrane, and there is some meat oil stuck on it, and the price is not expensive, only 10 yuan a piece.

She bought another five catties of lean pork belly, spent 100 yuan, and then went home.

Liu Wan shared her skills and asked Wang Li and Wang Lian to help cut water chestnuts.

Because they share skills, the two little ones also have the ability that Liu Wan practiced in the space, and the speed of cutting water chestnuts is fast.

After all the water chestnuts were cut, there were about three catties of water chestnuts.

Liu Wan asked Wang Li to go to the field to pluck a few green onions and celery, make ingredients for a while, and then cut the lean meat herself and chop the cut lean meat into meat foam.

After Wang Li went to the vegetable field, he soon returned with the washed vegetables.

Liu Wan said that it was very intimate, Wang Li, this guy, is small but very careful, he, unlike some people, if you ask him to pick a green onion, it may be to pick the green onion back and throw it to you, and he will not wash the vegetables like Wang Li, which is convenient to start.

Liu Wan chopped the celery and green onions, and then smashed the washed water chestnuts one by one with a kitchen knife, and after all of them were broken, Liu Wan grabbed the water chestnuts in the palm of her hand and squeezed them hard to squeeze out all the water inside.

If the water is not squeezed out, the filling will be overwhelmed after a while.
