Chapter 36: Making Pickles
"Since she is a good mother, her craftsmanship is good."
Song Shu listened to it and felt proud, no, she had been doing it for almost a month, this thing was already beyond her ability.
If it weren't for her good learning ability, I'm afraid she would have collapsed and couldn't stand it.
It's good to look at.
"When I went out today, my colleague also asked where I bought this dress, which shows Shu Niang's skills."
Song Shu is even more proud.
She looked at Pei Xuan and raised her eyebrows: "It seems that Xianggong's colleague is also a person who understands." ”
Seeing that she was happy, Pei Xuan didn't say anything.
The medicine has been prepared, and it is useless for Pei Xuan to stay here at this time, Song Shu looked at Pei Xuan, that handsome face, if he wanted to drive people away, he was just blocked in his throat.
"What's that, it's all done here."
The implication is that she is fine, Pei Xuan can go.
Hearing the meaning of her words, Pei Xuan's eyes flashed with a little unhappiness, but soon returned to normal.
"Didn't you say you want pickles?"
Song Shu: "......"
It seems to be oh, she said it when she was eating just now, she was going to forget it, why did Pei Xuan feel a little strange when she said it?
Wrong!
The point is, why doesn't he seem to understand what he means? Does he still want to stay here and make pickles with himself?
"Shu Niang is not going to do it today?"
Song Shu shook her head, she had thought about it, if she could make it today, it would naturally be excellent.
That would have been the case earlier.
It's just that seeing Pei Xuan standing here, she always felt stunned in her heart.
"Well, you can make pickles?" Song Shu asked.
Pei Xuan shook his head very calmly, "No." ”
Song Shu: "......"
Why did you say it so reasonably, since you can't, then what are you going to do here? Do you want to help yourself?
As soon as he was choked, Song Shu pursed his lips.
That's it, that's just for him to help.
"That Xianggong went to take the wild vegetables from the kitchen to the backyard kitchen, and I will make the sauce later, the backyard is big."
Pei Xuan nodded, and walked straight to the kitchen in the front yard with long legs.
Song Shu looked at his back and shook her head helplessly, she missed Pei Xuan at the beginning.
Cold, always ignoring their own love, how good is that.
Now I always feel like an extra burden, inexplicable.
However, it can also be imagined that Yan's mother-in-law must want to see her son and daughter-in-law have a close relationship, and I am afraid that her mother-in-law will help her.
But after thinking about it, with Pei Xuan by his side to help, he really saved a lot of trouble, and it was okay, anyway, it was himself who was idle.
After a while, the wild vegetables were all placed in the backyard.
Song Shu didn't have any guilt, and commanded Pei Xuan: "If Xianggong is okay now, get the wild vegetables right now, and I'll mix the sauce." ”
Pei Xuan naturally had no objections, and resigned herself to picking and washing vegetables.
Song Shu watched silently, and I have to say that good-looking men, even if they do housework, look very exquisite.
Obviously, he is bent on his waist, but he always feels that the inexplicable extravagance makes him have a taste of not eating fireworks in the world.
"Beauty is wrong!" Song Shu sighed with emotion and hurriedly took out the ingredients she wanted.
The only reason why the pickles she makes are delicious is that the right amount of sugar is added to them to enhance the freshness.
Most of the ordinary pickles are more salty, Song Shu didn't like it, so she tried to put sugar, but she didn't expect it to taste really good, so she kept doing it.
The rest of the ingredients are just soy sauce and some sauce mixed together, and a little vinegar is added, slightly spicy millet, boiled over high heat, and finally an appropriate amount of sugar is added.
Wait until these things are cool, then pour the sauce into the dish and place it in a cool place.
Fortunately, the weather is not hot now, otherwise this pickle would not have tasted like this.
Song Shu put the sauce away, and when she returned to the yard, Pei Xuan had already packed up the two baskets of wild vegetables.
The half-open placket has already exposed his sturdy upper body.
It's early winter, and he's not even cold like this? Sure enough, there is a gap between people and people.
Song Shu thought about it and immediately shook her head.
"Xianggong has it all done?"
"Well, what's next? But do you need some pickles? ”
Song Shu said: "No, just clean up the pickle jar, nothing else, you have been tired for a long time, I will ...... the sauce jar."
"The sauce jar is ready."
Song Shu: "......"
This man's hands and feet are so fast? How did he do it? I haven't said anything.
Sure enough, the children of poor families have long been in charge, and the sensible ones are distressing.
"Now that it's all cleaned up, dry the water on the dish and put it inside."
Hearing such a toss, Pei Xuan couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Why do you want to dry the water?" ”
"Because the water for washing vegetables is not clean." Song Shu blinked, with a simple face: "This water seems to be clean, but in fact, there are a lot of bacteria, the secret of delicious pickles can be stored for a long time, that is, it must be absolutely clean, naturally, drying is not perfect, and some preservatives will be put in it later." ”
This is why, Song Shu must make preservatives.
Hearing this explanation, Pei Xuan didn't understand it very much.
What is this bacterium? Why is it that the water is not clean? Isn't it then, then, that all things are unclean?
"Oh, you don't understand some of them, but just do it, I won't lie to you."
This is true, and Pei Xuan didn't dig deeper.
Thanks to today's good day, the dishes dried quickly, and Song Shu was busy placing the things in the sauce jar, and only poured the sauce into it when it was full.
The big vat was not even full, and a small sauce vat was cleaned up, which was just right.
Song Shu wiped her sweat and covered her mouth with a cage drawer.
"Mom, it's finally done, it's really tiring."
Two jars of pickles, the ghost knows how she finished it, although Pei Xuan was the main contributor, but she was tired enough to point.
"So that's good?" Pei Xuan asked.
Song Shu nodded: "Yes, as long as it's like this, you can eat it tomorrow, but this taste is not good, let's put it for a few more days, go back to this small vat and leave it, and sell the rest of the ideas, it is estimated that there will be a lot of money. ”
Pei Xuan didn't understand this cooking, but Song Shu arranged it like this, so he felt that it was natural.
In previous years, the three of them spent the New Year with Yan's banquet, and Yan's always cooked, but now with Song Shu, the family is indeed different.
We should be able to have a good year.
"By the way, how did you find the middleman? There are a lot of these medicinal materials, which are sold to Dr. Chen, and some are also sold to other shops. ”
In this way, the business can grow bigger, and then there will be a steady stream of money.
Hearing her ask, Pei Xuan remembered this, and suddenly felt a little guilty, he was busy forgetting about it.
