After chatting for a long time, seeing that it was already three poles in the day, Chen Fan was afraid that he would not set off again, and Captain Xiao would arrange for someone to find him, so he took the dog beating stick again and strode towards the 5th team.

When they approached Team 5, they saw a lot of people planting electric poles, and they were planting them all the way from the village to both sides. Yesterday it was already planted for a day, and today it is far away, Chen Fan stood on the ridge, looked at it from a distance, and couldn't see people clearly, so he went straight to the village.

Just like last time, the first thing to greet was the dogs.

Chen Fan whistled and asked the dogs for directions, he only went to the team headquarters last time, and he didn't know which one Captain Xiao lived in.

The dogs were very familiar with this place, and when they heard him say that they were going to Captain Xiao's house, a big flower dog immediately jumped out and jumped in front to lead the way.

Big Yellow Dog, "Wang Wangwang (he is the Xiao family)"

Chen Fan smiled, did he find the main owner as soon as he came?

Surrounded by the dogs, Chen Fan walked on the path on the hill.

The members who heard the voice greeted him one after another.

"Master Chen is here."

"Are you going to Captain Xiao's house to make sauerkraut? I'll take you. ”

Chen Fan smiled and waved his hand, "Thank you, thank you, it's troublesome." ”

Although there are dogs leading the way, it is weird to go directly like this, anyway, the villagers will go to see the excitement, and it is better to follow them.

Soon arrived at Captain Xiao's house, his family was divided early, and he got a brick house, the last one by the pond, the ground was still paved with green bricks, and it was very clean.

At this time, there are two jars at the door, both of which are small jars about half a meter high and about thirty or forty centimeters in diameter, and the people here generally use this kind of jar to pickle pickles.

Chen Fan knew at a glance that this was prepared by Captain Xiao's family to pickle sauerkraut.

Before Chen Fan could speak, someone had already shouted loudly, "Captain Xiao, Master Chen is here." ”

Captain Xiao came out when he heard this, and laughed, "I just said that the big flowers at home are always calling, it turns out that you are here." ”

When he was brought into the house, he said, "Come, come, sit in the house." ”

At the same time, a crowd of people poured out of the rooms on both sides.

Chen Fan greeted with a smile, "Hello Captain Xiao, Zhu Gong'an went to my place in the morning, and it was a little late." ”

Captain Xiao suddenly said, "Oh, I see, I'm still thinking that if you don't come again, I'll let someone pick you up." ”

Immediately, his face changed slightly, and he looked at Chen Fan and whispered, "Then Zhu Gong'an is here with good news?" ”

Chen Fan shook his head gloomily, "The police stations in the county have all assisted in the investigation, but there is no news." ”

When Captain Xiao heard this, his face was also a little stunned, and after two seconds, he comforted, "It's okay, it's okay, you can live here with peace of mind first, if you have any difficulties, you can mention it to me, let's wait for the news slowly." ”

Chen Fan raised his head, showed the actor-level acting skills of the production team, and said with a strong smile, "Thank you, Captain Xiao, I have no difficulty, the things sent by each team in the past two days are enough for me to eat for a year, and the clothes sent by the team department, there is nothing missing." ”

Captain Xiao smiled and nodded, patting his arm, "Young man, relax, ah, take your time." ”

Then he introduced him to his family.

His family is also a big family, he married his daughter-in-law and had children a long time ago, and later went to the north to return from injury and continue to give birth.

At that time, he called for the strength of many people, so he gave birth to 6 in one go, in addition to himself and his wife, the eldest of the 6 children was 27 years old, and the youngest was 20 years old, all of whom had already started a family.

Now only the youngest son lives here with them, the eldest son and the second son have separated and live in the mud-walled house at the back, and the three daughters are also married, one is in the 5th team, and the other two are married to other teams.

But today everyone came back, and the one who got married also brought the child, and there were nearly a dozen people crowded into the room, and when Chen Fan arrived, they rushed out to greet him.

Chen Fan got to know them all once, and then began to teach them how to make sauerkraut.

Today is also an open teaching, as long as you are willing to learn, the whole village can come and watch.

Chen Fan, "Captain Xiao, has the cabbage you prepared been handled according to what I said?" ”

Captain Xiao nodded, "According to what you said, I took half of it and ventilated it in a cool place, and it has been drying for two days." ”

The little daughter-in-law next to her asked, "Master Chen, why do you want to dry half and not half dry?" ”

Chen Fan said with a smile, "These are two processes, one is called cooked pickling, which is scalded with boiling water, drained and then put into the tank, and the other is called raw pickling, which is to dry the cabbage first, and then cut it directly into the tank for pickling." ”

Then he said, "To cook the pickle, you need to boil a large pot of hot water, and you also need to prepare an inclined board to put the vegetables, you do the preparation work first, and I will make the raw pickle here." ”

Subsequently, under the onlookers of many people, Chen Fan taught while operating.

Standing at the front must be the Xiao family, even the three daughters who have married outside, they are all standing in the first row, seizing the advantageous terrain, and the other villagers consciously leaned back, while staring at Chen Fan's movements, while chanting words in their mouths, and some of them also took small notebooks to record carefully.

If killing soft-shelled turtle is to give everyone one more meat dish, and you can occasionally taste some meat, then sauerkraut is related to daily diet.

In the past, there were only pickles and kimchi here, and I usually relied on these two things for dinner, but there was no sauerkraut.

Although Master Xiao Chen said that it is best to make sauerkraut at 5 to 15 degrees, and the temperature is too high to spoil, but it is okay to eat it for a winter, not to mention that sauerkraut can also be used as a side dish, stir-fried and stewed with other dishes, which is more useful than pickles and kimchi, so naturally they can't help but care.

After a busy day, both cylinders were filled.

At this time, Chen Fancai clapped his hands, gasped and said, "This tank is cooked and pickled, and the water will come out in two or three days, and it will be filled with water again, preferably well water, if not, use cool boiled water, the water in the ditch is not very clean, it is best not to use it." ”

Captain Xiao nodded seriously and raised his hand to point above, "There is a well in the backyard of the brigade headquarters, which can be used with well water." ”

Chen Fan said again, "The raw pickled vat will be filled with water at this time tomorrow, and it is best to pour some liquor." There is nothing else, wait for more than half a month, as long as all these vegetables turn yellow, it means that they are pickled thoroughly, and you can eat them at that time. ”

Then he carefully explained, "You must not eat it if it is not pickled, and you can't eat it if it is pickled, it is poisonous." ”

"Huh?"

Everyone was startled and looked at him in unison, "Poisonous? ”

Chen Fan said with a smile, "Don't worry, the toxicity is not great, but there will be nitrite if it is not pickled, and people will have nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea after eating, and severe skin and mucous membranes will be purple-black, blue or blue-brown, so you must wait for the sauerkraut to be pickled before eating, and don't eat too much at a time, just add a flavor." ”

Hearing him say this, the timid couldn't help but start to retreat, for the sake of an unfamiliar sauerkraut, people can't eat it badly.

But there are also those who are bold, laughing and laughing, "I can't eat the dead, what are you afraid of." ”

For this kind of thing, Chen Fan can only salute him as a hero!
