Chapter 12 Selling bean sprouts, Mrs. Shen smashed the jar
Mu Chenglin's movements were fast, the fragrant lunch was ready, Shen Yunxi was already hungry, and she couldn't wait to come out of the room.
Mu Mu didn't dislike Shen Yunxi for being rude at all, but felt that Shen Yunxi was real, not pretentious, and a good girl to live a good life.
She is not a pedantic parent, and the most important thing is that the children are happy.
Wild boar is more firewood, but with seasonings such as chili pepper, pepper, onion, ginger, garlic, etc., coupled with the iron pot constantly simmering, and Mu Chenglin's good skills, this meat is still very fragrant!
The whole family eats with a mouth full of oil, and they are very happy!
After eating, Mu Mu and Mu Chengjin were driven back to the room by Mu Chenglin and Shen Yunxi to sleep, and Mu Chenglin planned to hurry up and make the bacon first.
"Brother Mu, aren't you tired? You've been busy all morning, not going to take a break? Shen Yunxi asked, Mu Chenglin is a son and an elder brother, so he has a heavy burden on himself.
But he's only a sixteen-year-old boy!
"I'm not tired, what's this physical work? Didn't you say you still had to make vinegar? The vegetables that are dried outside should also be made into sauerkraut, finish it early, and rest early! ”
Shen Yunxi looked at the vegetables drying in a yard, as well as the meat on the ground, her vinegar, and she closed her mouth!
Oh, yes! There's so much work to be done!
It's just that she feels a little sorry for Mu Chenglin, like a big sister who feels sorry for her younger brother. When she was sixteen years old, she was only in her first year of high school, and she didn't have to worry about anything by herself except studying!
But the distress is distressed, and things still have to be done.
Shen Yunxi described the steps of making bacon to Mu Chenglin simply, first divide the meat, disinfect it with wine, and then fry the salt and peppercorns, and let it cool when the salt is yellow, and then smear the salt and peppercorns on the meat.
The meat is placed in a basin, covered with a lid, marinated for three or four days, then taken out and washed, dried in the sun, and finally a vacant space is found to burn the leaves of fruit trees or tea trees to smoke them.
Mu Chenglin didn't expect that a bacon recipe would be so complicated, and it would take so long to add up before and after, but it was impossible to keep fresh meat without spending some effort.
Say dry and dry, the meat has already been divided in advance, Shen Yunxi used wine to disinfect the meat, Mu Chenglin fried salt and peppercorns, after doing these, the two of them went to look at the dried vegetables and peppers, etc., there was still some water on it, and they needed to dry it for a while.
Shen Yunxi simply started to make vinegar, she took out two catties of rice, washed it, drained the water, and then Mu Chenglin boiled the water, she began to fry it, and when the rice turned brown, she put the rice out and put it aside to cool.
"Why do you need to let it cool when you do it today?" Mu Chenglin asked.
Vinegar needs rice to cool, bacon needs salt to cool, and sauerkraut can't have any raw water in it.
Shen Yunxi didn't know how to explain, she did it according to the steps on the APP, but she guessed that the vinegar should be fermented and the bacteria would be generated, and the temperature would be affected.
As for sauerkraut, raw water contains bacteria that can easily cause pickled sauerkraut to spoil away!
But how to explain bacteria to the ancients?
"If you don't let it cool, it's easy to spoil and deteriorate!" Shen Yunxi summed it up.
Mu Chenglin felt that this explanation was equivalent to no explanation, so he raised his eyebrows and did not continue to ask deeply.
Everything made has to wait, Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin took out two jars, and began to wipe them with the last bit of liquor, in Shen Yunxi's words, sterilization and disinfection.
By the time Mu Mu and Mu Chengjin woke up, everything had cooled down, and the raw water on the vegetables had dried out.
So, the two of them also joined the production team.
Mu Chenglin went to salt the meat, Shen Yunxi took Mu Mu and Mu Chengjin and began to fill the jar with cold and white boil, salt, chili pepper, garlic, ginger, and green vegetables according to the proportion, and finally sealed the jar and let it stand for fifteen days.
Shen Yunxi's side had just ended, and Mu Chenglin's side had also rubbed the meat with salt.
The last is to make vinegar, the vinegar jar chosen by Shen Yunxi is a small jar of the Mu family, which has just been disinfected with wine, she put the cooled rice into the jar, poured it into the cool white boil, and put in a certain proportion of sugar, stirred it with clean chopsticks, and finally sealed the mouth of the jar.
"What is this vinegar? It's that simple? Mu Mu asked curiously.
"It's sour, but it's a very good seasoning!" Shen Yunxi explained.
"When the vinegar is made, I'll make a delicious meal for everyone!" Because of the sourness, the expressions on everyone's faces were a little weird, and they were quite suspicious that vinegar could become a seasoning.
"Sister-in-law, it's you who commands my brother to do it!" Mu Chengjin quipped.
"My brain, his hand, it's okay!" Shen Yunxi said happily to Mu Chengjin.
After doing this, it was still a little early, but today was very tired, Mu Chenglin boiled water in advance for everyone to wash, made white rice porridge for dinner, and served with leftovers at noon, after eating these, the whole family rested.
Early the next morning, Shen Yunxi got up, she slept very early yesterday and was very good, she is very energetic now, but the most important thing is that she estimated that the bean sprouts should be able to eat.
The soybeans that had been born for two days and three nights had already sprouted, and Shen Yunxi looked at the sprouts and saw that the sprouts were not very long, but they could be eaten.
She took out part of it and prepared it for Mu Chenglin to fry, and some of it she wanted to bring to Xia Yifan.
When Mu Chenglin got up, Shen Yunxi had already washed the bean sprouts, and the ingredients for the stir-fried bean sprouts were also ready.
"This is what you made with soybeans two days ago?" Mu Chenglin asked.
Shen Yunxi nodded, "I only used two taels of soybeans, it's not all here, the sprouts will be longer tomorrow." But I'm going to take them to Boss Xia today. ”
Mu Chenglin looked at her meaningfully, and then began to light the fire, stir-frying the bean sprouts according to the steps provided by Shen Yunxi.
The texture is crisp, it tastes delicious, and most importantly, no one has ever found that soybean sprouts can be eaten like this before.
Mu Chenglin tasted it and didn't eat it again, he started to make breakfast, Shen Yunxi didn't take out many bean sprouts, he left some for his mother and younger brother.
Shen Yunxi shook her head secretly, this bean sprouts will be flooded in the future, as long as there are soybeans, she can make him eat them until he vomits.
At breakfast, Mu Mu and Mu Chengjin praised the bean sprouts again.
After eating, Mu Chenglin was going to pull the vegetables that were going to pickle the sauerkraut up the mountain today, and the villagers helped pull them up yesterday, so he couldn't trouble others today.
Not long after Mu Chenglin left, an uninvited guest came to the door.
Old Mrs. Shen pulled her face, as if someone else owed her a few hundred taels of silver, and the pestle was at the door of Mu's house.
"Shen Yunxi!" Seeing Shen Yunxi open the door, the old lady pointed at Shen Yunxi with her finger, and her expression was eager to swallow Shen Yunxi.
The old lady entered the door, and without saying much, she searched around the courtyard, and at last she saw several jars in the courtyard.
"Good! Shen Pingping really didn't lie to me! Did you come up with another recipe? What's in those jars? ”
"I heard that Mu Chenglin also hunted wild boars yesterday, and you gave them to several families, but you didn't use them to be filial to your grandparents!"
"Shen Yunxi, why did our Shen family come up with you white-eyed wolf!"
After speaking, the old lady was about to lift the lid on the altar, and Shen Yunxi immediately blocked the front. The lid can't be lifted yet, otherwise all these things that get into the air and pickle will break!
But the original owner's body was very thin, and the old lady directly pushed her to the ground, and Mu Mu immediately went to pull Shen Yunxi.
No one stopped her, Mrs. Shen was about to lift the lid, when Mu Chengjin stepped forward to pull Mrs. Shen, he didn't know what would be pickled in the jar, but this was used by his brother and sister-in-law to make money, his brother was not at home, and he, as a man in the family, wanted to protect them.
But Mu Chengjin was only ten years old after all, and his body was not very good before, and he was relatively thin, so Mrs. Shen directly pushed him to.
There are a lot of stones on the ground, which are used to press on the top of the altar, and when Mu Chengjin was about to be pushed by the old lady and his head was about to hit the stone, Mu Mu was directly frightened.
Shen Yunxi immediately stood up and hugged him, Mu Chengjin fell on Shen Yunxi's body, nothing happened, but Shen Yunxi's arm wiped off the stone, and blood flowed immediately.
Seeing Shen Yunxi bleeding, Mrs. Shen not only did not feel guilty, but spoke viciously to each other, "This is the end of unfilial piety!" ”
"I asked you to marry a rich man, but you don't want to, you have to go with a poor hunter. Now that he has a way to make money, he doesn't think about his family, the white-eyed wolf, he deserves to be injured and bleed. ”
Old Mrs. Shen snorted, and then was about to lift the lid.
Mu Mu pulled Mu Chengjin and Shen Yunxi up, and looked at Shen Yunxi's arm with a large piece of skin scratched, her anxious eyes were red.
"Yunxi, don't go, if something is broken, it will be broken, you don't want to get hurt again!"
Shen Yunxi stood there, expressionless as the old lady Shen lifted one of the lids, this was the sauerkraut jar, the old lady looked at it, thinking it was pickled some pickles.
No one in the Shen family eats such things as green vegetables, which is really unlucky, but when she thought that yesterday's wild boar meat Shen Yunxi did not give to the Shen family, she picked up a stone from the ground and smashed a hole in the jar.
The greens and water inside flowed out directly.
Just as she was about to lift the lid of the second jar, Mu Chenglin came back.
When he opened the courtyard door, he saw Shen Yunxi, whose arms were covered in blood, his mother who was standing aside with red eyes, and Mu Chengjin, who was so frightened that his face was pale.
He hurriedly walked up and pressed the old lady aside.
Where can the old lady's strength compare to Mu Chenglin, she was crushed to the point that her bones were about to fall apart, and she screamed.
The villagers who were delivering vegetables behind saw this scene and hurriedly pulled Mu Chenglin away, and someone immediately went down the mountain to call the village chief.
The old lady came back to her senses, saw Mu Chenglin, and saw a group of villagers, and immediately cried.
first cursed Shen Yunxi for being unfilial, and then said that Mu Chenglin wanted to kill her, saying that the Mu family was unkind and unjust to hide from the Shen family in doing small business, and said that Shen Yunxi was shameless, and he didn't know how to go back if he married the wrong one.
It is not easy for the Shen family to cultivate her, and if she doesn't find a rich man, I'm sorry for the Shen family's nurturing grace.
Everyone was standing in the courtyard listening to Mrs. Shen's nonsense, Mu Mu had already told Mu Chenglin everything that had just happened, if Shen Yunxi hadn't pulled it in time, Mu Chengjin's head would have hit the stone.
Mu Chenglin wanted to take Shen Yunxi to medicine, but Shen Yunxi refused.
"If the flesh injury is not in the way, it is not too late to wait for the village chief to come and go to the medicine." Shen Yunxi said softly to Mu Chenglin.
As soon as the village chief heard that Mrs. Shen had gone to Mu's house to make trouble, smashed things and injured Shen Yunxi, he immediately ran up the mountain without saying a word.
When the village chief came, Mrs. Shen was already tired from crying, sitting on the ground, Shen Yunxi's arms were covered with blood, and a lot of vegetables flowed out next to the smashed jar in the yard.
As soon as the old lady Shen saw the village chief, she was about to file a complaint, but who knew that the village chief pointed at her nose and scolded, "I said the Shen family, after you took away the Mu family's one hundred and twenty taels of silver, their life will not be easy!" ”
"I want to eat some pickles in the winter, so I'm going to pickle some pickles and keep them for the winter, can't you even look at other people's pickles? Do you have to destroy it? ”
The village chief naturally knows that Mu Chenglin can't eat so many pickles, but people are running forward hard, striving for a good life with their own hands, why do you want a piece of everything?
Isn't it bad enough for Shen Yunxi to be killed by you?
"Grandpa the village chief!" Shen Yunxi spoke, "Grandma thinks that if I am married to a rich family as a concubine, the money will be more, so I feel that I have lost one hundred and twenty taels of silver, and I have only come to find fault in three days!" ”
As soon as Shen Yunxi's words fell, Old Lady Shen became anxious, how could this kind of thing be said to outsiders, shouldn't this be the daughter of the Shen family who took the initiative to fight for the Shen family?
"You talk nonsense!" Old Mrs. Shen is full of denials!
"Yun Xi is not talking nonsense!"
"That's it, that's what you just said!"
The villager who sent the vegetables up the mountain said that when the old lady sat on the ground and cried just now, what she said was this, because she felt that she had lost it, so Shen Yunxi had to make up for them, like Fangzi, wild boar, etc., if there are benefits, it should be given to the Shen family as soon as possible!
"You fart!" Old Lady Shen pointed at this group of people and scolded, "She, Shen Yunxi, is the daughter of our Shen family, with a recipe and a delicious filial piety, isn't it supposed to be?" ”
"According to grandma's meaning, the eldest aunt and aunt are also the daughters of other people's families, and they should use the Shen family's money to subsidize their mother's family!" Shen Yunxi said.
"Phew! Don't take a mirror either, if you want to use our Shen family's money to subsidize your own family, then stay in your mother's house and don't come back! ”
"Then why did grandma let me subsidize my mother's family?"
Old Mrs. Shen was stunned, knowing that she was being tricked by Shen Yunxi, "This is the principle of our Shen family, the daughter of the Shen family is also married to the Shen family, and the daughters-in-law of the Shen family are all from the Shen family, this is the rule of my old lady!" ”
"Oh! Uncles and uncles, you have all heard that if you want to marry a daughter and a daughter-in-law in the future, people like the Shen family can't form a family, otherwise either the family will be hollowed out, or they will give them a daughter for nothing! ”
As soon as Shen Yunxi's words fell, everyone laughed, and Old Lady Shen was so angry that she picked up the stone on the ground and prepared to throw it at Shen Yunxi!
Mu Chenglin hurriedly grabbed the old lady's hand, and Shen Yunxi hid a few steps back, "Grandma, the son of a murderer can't participate in the imperial examination!" ”
Sure enough, this trick worked very well, and the old lady Shen watched Shen Yunxi throw the stone on the ground fiercely.
Old Mrs. Shen saw that she didn't get benefits, and she was ready to leave the Mu family, the poor here were going to die, if it wasn't for the benefits, she wouldn't come!
"Wait!" Shen Yunxi called out to Old Lady Shen.
"What? Have you changed your mind? Seeing Shen Yunxi shouting to herself, Old Lady Shen asked, she wanted to see what a granddaughter who had been suppressed for more than ten years wanted her to do!
Shen Yunxi pointed to the smashed jar in the courtyard, "This jar was just bought yesterday, a two-hundred-dollar one, there are more than a dozen catties of vegetables in it, two cents a pound, this is grandma deliberately smashed it, and we have to lose money!" ”
