Chapter 14 Pickled Radish

In the afternoon, the sun was excellent, so the bedding mat was dried in the courtyard and exposed to the sun.

Wei Yi'an cleaned the brooms that could be dismantled and washed, tied the brooms to the long bamboo poles, and swept away the cobwebs and dust in the corners of the house.

After cleaning the inside and out, although the home is still very dilapidated, it finally looks much fresher and neater.

Wei Yi'an finished cleaning up the kitchen and moved the clay jar with the bad radish to the courtyard.

She was going to clean out the clay pot and make some pickles again.

In winter, vegetables are difficult to preserve for a long time, except for fresh cabbage and radishes, but even eating a winter is really tired, and nowadays people will make some pickled vegetables for meals.

This jar is made by the original mother Lu, but the taste is very average.

Wei Yi'an noticed that whether it was the restaurants in the town or the hotels on East Street, the variety of food was not very rich. And the shops that sell food will give a small plate of small dishes to the customers in the store, but the customers do not like to move the small dishes.

Therefore, Wei Yi'an guessed that the pickles tasted average, so he decided to make some of his own and try to sell them.

She is still very confident in her craft, and it seems that the original body also likes to eat and drink, which is very similar to the two.

Thinking of this, her heart suddenly moved, and she had some plans. But it's still a long way off, and we'll have to wait for it to be done little by little later.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Wei Yi'an still made breakfast for the children, locked the door and set off.

On the way, she encountered a mule cart, so she quickly stopped him and paid him a few copper plates to hitchhike, and she soon arrived.

First went to North Street and found a random restaurant called Granny Chen's steamed buns. She saw that this business was the best on North Street, so she followed the people inside.

The shop was full, and the shed facing the street was cold, easy to irrigate, and no one sits.

She sat down and asked for three bamboo shoots and meat buns, shrimp and fish buns and a bowl of gruel, a total of seven wen.

Soon, Wei Yi'an's food was delivered, and a small plate of pickled vegetables was served, half of radish and half of wead.

I tasted it, and the taste was indeed ordinary.

In this way, she became more confident in her plan.

Wei Yi'an ate two buns, and took the rest back to the two children.

There was a morning market in the town, and Wei Yi'an went straight to his destination after coming out of the bun shop.

There are those who sell vegetables in burlap sacks directly on the ground, and there are also those who push carts and shout.

After picking and choosing, she quickly bought a bag of turnips, and went to buy salt, all kinds of spices and a few clay pots for her use.

It cost a total of 200 wen, which is quite cheap.

I went back and paid for a car, paid for a handlebar appointment, and picked her up here two days later in the morning.

When I got home, it was still early, and it was not time to make lunch, so Wei Yi'an hurried to make it.

The two children had already gotten up, and when they saw Wei Yi'an squatting in the yard washing the clay jar, they also squatted down and looked around.

Wei Yi'an quickly brushed and wiped the six clay jars, and washed the radishes.

She was going to make three different flavors, so she divided the radish into three portions and cut them into thin slices, the radish strips and the shredded radish.

One pound of radish, two taels of salt and one tael of sugar, Wei Yi'an pickled twenty pounds of radish slices according to the proportion, and first put them aside to pickle for half an hour.

Then pickle the radish strips according to the ratio of two taels of sugar for one pound of radish, and also marinate for half an hour.

The remaining shredded radish is salted according to one catty or two, and wrung out after the water is discharged. Drible hot oil with minced pepper, minced garlic, sesame seeds, soy sauce and vinegar, then add a little salt and mix well and seal it in a clay pot.

After half an hour, wash the radish slices twice and squeeze them dry. Then pour sugar and vinegar on the minced pepper, fennel, licorice, dill, and tangerine peel, add the radish that has not been opened in the cool and white, and seal it and let it stand for two days.

The ratio of the seasoning was appropriately adjusted to the radish strips, and then the ginger shreds and perilla were added to prepare them in the same way.

Sealing the last clay jar, looking at the neatly arranged clay jar in front of him, Wei Yi'an breathed a sigh of relief.

The melon seeds were very puzzled, so they asked his mother: "Can you eat so much?" ”

Wei Yi'an said with a smile: "After pickling, let's sell it, won't we have money by then?" ”

She was as busy as a spinning top in the morning, so she warmed up the leftover buns for lunch, and then simply made a garlic eggplant and egg soup, and went to sleep after eating.

In a daze, he felt that after sleeping for a while, Wei Yi'an vaguely heard someone talking outside.

"Ouch, my good grandson, do you miss grandma?"

In the courtyard, Lu Shi hugged his two grandsons affectionately and spoke.

Lu didn't come often, but every time he came, he brought something for his daughter and grandson, and then did some housework for the family.

In addition, the Lu family has a gentle temper, and the melon seeds also like to be close to the Lu family, and when they see her, their grandmother is long and their grandmother is so short that they can't stop screaming.

Doudou is still afraid of people, although he knows that it is his grandmother, but he doesn't often meet after all, so he just shyly lies in Lu's arms and doesn't speak.

After enough incense, Lu asked, "What about your mother?" ”

Doudou stretched out his finger and pointed to the bedroom, and Guazi said, "I haven't woken up yet." ”

Lu Shi has always known that his little daughter is being pampered and willful at home, and when he heard this, he thought that he hadn't gotten up in the morning until now.

Afraid that she would wake her up, she lost her temper again.

I was about to dust my house, but I was taken aback.

In the kitchen, the cooking utensils and kitchen utensils are neatly arranged, and the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are all neat.

The hall was also brightly lit.

Lu Shi was still surprised in his heart, she hadn't been here for a month, and her daughter's house was cleaned up much differently than before.

After looking around, I saw a row of clay jars at the bottom of the courtyard wall, and I was curious, so I walked over and wanted to uncover it.

When Wei Yi'an came out, he happened to meet Lu Shi who opened the seal of the first clay pot, leaned in to sniff it, and was about to dip his fingers in the water to taste it.

"What do you do?" Wei Yi'an immediately stopped her and stepped forward to reseal her mouth.

Lu Shi was drunk like this, and he withdrew his hand and wiped it twice on his body, a little embarrassed.

He laughed again and flattered her with a hint of flattery: "Girl, you're awake." ”

Only then did Wei Yi'an see the appearance of the person in front of him.

Dressed in a gray and blue coarse cloth jacket, his hands are shrunk in his sleeves, and his waist is slightly hunched, which shows that he has a soft temperament.

Pedaling a pair of old cloth shoes, the black and yellow face can vaguely see the good appearance of his youth.

This is the mother of the original body, the Lu family.

Wei Yi'an led the person into the room, poured hot tea for her, and didn't speak, secretly pondering the purpose of Lu's trip.

Lu also said that this girl is really a little different, and when she looked at her daughter, she found that she had lost so much weight, and her clothes were wider.

Seeing that she was dressed neatly and neatly, her appearance was even prettier, her eyes were clear, and she also had a spirit, and she couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw that she had suffered a little.

Wei Yi'an was stared at by Lu's eyes a little unnatural.

I asked her why she came from.

Lu Shi took a sip of the tea bowl, his face hesitated as if he was a little entangled: "Third sister, the son of the Li family has already married a wife and had children, and this trip back is to open a ancestral hall to give his son a family tree." ”

Wei Yi'an was stunned for a moment, and then she knew who the Li family kid in her mouth was.

The original body lost his life for him, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to come here.

Wei Yi'an said "um", waiting for Lu Shi to continue. Seeing that his daughter's face seemed to be safe, Lu Shi immediately rolled up his sleeves and said:

"Third sister, I heard that his daughter-in-law is from the city, and there is a three-entry house in the city, which is actually the dowry of her mother's family. But in terms of character and appearance, the third sister, you are much better than her! ”

"But now we can't climb up to others, can we? Although we are poor, we are also good people, and we have not made small ones for others.

Sister, I'm here to tell you, you're going to die of this heart! ”
