At this time, Su Lao Er was chopping wood in the backyard, the placket on his chest was already wet with sweat, and Zhao Qian was cleaning the chicken coop and duck coop in the backyard, and letting the ducks go to the river to play in the water. Lian's family had gone to the river early in the morning to wash a large pot of clothes, which would be hanging on the clothesline, Zhou's was preparing a family's breakfast in the stove house, and the entire Su family except for Su Yu was still sleeping, from the master to the next person, there was no one idle.

Wang Gang and Bai Mo were really surprised when they looked at the Su family, shouldn't they be idle when they are the masters, let the current people do it, how could the Su family be like this.

Lian was drying his clothes when he heard footsteps behind him, turned his head to look, and saw that it was two people with smiles on their faces.

"You get up, today you will go around the house first, familiarize yourself with the place, and tell you what to do tomorrow."

"Yes, ma'am."

Since the two of them plan to stay, there should be no less rules, and it is difficult to call out at first, if this was placed in the past, the two would never have imagined that the main family in the future would be a country family.

When Su Yu got up, the two came over.

"Girl, we decided to stay in the Su family, and asked the girl to keep her promise and let us leave after three years."

"It's natural, I've always been the talker. I don't care about your private affairs, as long as you don't bring trouble to my Su family. ”

"Yes, girl."

"Today, you will familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment first, as for what to do, I will arrange it tomorrow morning, and now go to eat first."

After eating, Su Yu and his father went to the back hillside, Zhou's made pork jerky in the stove house, Lian's set up a big pot in the backyard and began to boil lard, now the soap business is good, and the lard is also needed, Su Yu and the high butcher every day at the price of eight cents a catty, set the amount of five pigs, Lian's daily work is to make soap, Zhao Qian fed the chickens and eaten, is to go to the back mountain to chop wood.

The father and daughter arrived at the back hillside, looking at the radishes all over the mountain, Su Lao Er was very happy, although he couldn't sell it for a few dollars, but as a farmer, the income in his own field grew well, not the biggest harvest.

"Dad, this radish is almost time to be harvested, let's find someone to collect it in two days."

"It's almost, so many radishes are designated to be sold for a long time, we can dig some a day and sell them, no need to find someone."

Su Yu didn't remember at all, and told his father about the radish, but now when he heard his father, he slapped his head on the door.

"Dad, I forgot to tell you, these radishes are not for sale, we keep them for our own family."

"What are you going to make of so many turnips?"

"I thought about it, the leaves are made into dry pickles, and the radishes are pickled into pickles, and then they are sold in the shop, and more than 20 acres of radishes are enough for our family to sell for a while, if the business is good, our family is buying them from the villagers."

"Cheng, listen to you."

Su Lao Er is now used to it, as long as it is what his daughter says, he will definitely be able to do it, and he didn't ask why.

When Su Lao Er went to the village to recruit people, he ran around but couldn't recruit people, not even the old man and the old lady.

"Second child, my family is busy making your toothbrush, I really don't have the time, you go to another house and ask."

Su Lao Er ran a few houses, and the answers he got were all the same, the current people in the village, but they can't look down on the Su family's salary of twenty or thirty yuan, and now even the slowest old man and old lady have at least fifty yuan a day.

In the end, Su Lao Er didn't look for it, and went directly to the next village, and recruited ten people at a price of 30 yuan a day, plus a few of his own family was almost enough.

The soil on the back slope is soft, and there is no need to dig up the radish at all, and it is not difficult to put it away directly, which is why Su Yu chose to plant radish in the first place, and she likes to plant it to save trouble.

The people are arranged by Suyu, there are five people in front of the radish specially plucked, the radish pulled out is placed in one direction, five people are followed by one person, holding a knife in his hand, the radish leaves and radish are divided into two, and then the two are responsible for carrying the radish and radish leaves to the small river at the bottom of the slope. Lian and Zhou put down their work today, and came to collect radishes together, at this time the two of them were washing radishes by the river, and the fresh radishes were very easy to wash, and they were clean when they were flushed in the water, but the leaves were a little troublesome.

The washed radish leaves were brought home by Wang Gang and hung on a rope in the yard to dry. The washed radish is placed in a bamboo basket and cut into thick slices by the two women, and the thick slices are cut into thin strips, but the radish is not cut off at one end, so it is more convenient to dry.

Wang Gang pulled a cart of radish leaves back to dry, and pulled the radish to dry in the open space next to the Su family, this land belonged to the Su family, and the homestead bought at that time was not used up at all, and the remaining piece of Su Yu had other plans, but it was always empty at this time.

Yesterday, a few men in the family made bamboo stakes, and they also pulled strings on them, Wang Gang hung the cut radish slices on the string to dry, and the people who studied martial arts did not feel anything about this work, and Bai Mo was the same, she didn't do much to wash the radish and cut the radish, and took the initiative to carry the radish down the mountain, and Su Yu also let her.

Of course, when the family was busy, the two masters and servants of the Yu family were indispensable, and the two didn't say anything, and plucked radishes in the field for a day.

No one in her house made lunch today, but fortunately she thought about being busy today in the morning, so Su Yu asked Aunt Zhou to cook some cakes, and a big pot of chicken soup was boiled on the pot.

At first, I heard that the Su family's salary of 30 wen was quite happy, but after working for a long time, I couldn't be happy, and the Su family worked too hard. And this work is linked by rings, they just want to be lazy, they can't be lazy, even the women who work the most are so tired that they can't straighten their waists. However, when they saw that the Su family was eating pancakes and chicken soup today, and there was still more than half a bowl of chicken in each person's bowl, they stopped talking.

After a busy day, more than 20 acres of radishes can be regarded as harvested. The main reason is that the yield in ancient times is low, and to have a high yield like modern radish, more than 20 acres will be busy for at least three days.

Now the weather is not worried about rain, and there is no need to harvest at night, and it is almost the same after a few days of drying. Take back the radish strips and cut them into cubes, add all kinds of seasonings and mix well, enough to fill more than a dozen large vats, the family has been busy for two days to finish the radish slices, and then the radish leaves, which is a bit troublesome.

Su Yu first let boil a few large pots of gruel, a big iron pot put five bowls of rice, boil for an hour, pour the gruel into the vat, pour half a jar of gruel into each vat, pour ten jars, and then put the dried radish leaves into several large vats, to ensure that the gruel does not pass the radish leaves, put the vats in the sun to dry, turn over once a morning, after seven or eight days, and wait for the jar to smell the pungent sourness, and then take out the radish leaves in the jar to dry.

After drying, use gauze to drain out the juice residue in the jar, leaving only its juice, pour some oil at the bottom of the pot to prevent it from sticking to the pan, and then pour the juice into the pot to boil, boil for an hour, and then put the dried radish leaves into the juice to boil, and after the juice dries, then take out the radish leaves and roll them into a circle to dry, and after drying, the dry pickles will become.

Dai specialty dry pickles, I make some every year.
