The Farmer Girl Gets Rich

Chapter 31: Pickled vegetables

The water in the cauldron boiled, Gu Xiaowan lifted the lid, in the rising mist, gently tossed a few pieces of rabbit meat into the pot, stirred it twice with a wooden spoon, and then closed the lid again. .

Only then came to Gu Ningping. Gu Ningping was washing the radishes carefully. The chubby radishes were cleaned by Gu Ningping. Gu Xiaowan glanced at Gu Ningping with satisfaction.

This family is hardworking!

In this gap, Gu Xiaowan suddenly remembered the sauerkraut that her mother had pickled in her previous life. If you can pickle some sauerkraut to eat, get another fish, and make a plate of sauerkraut fish, Gu Xiaowan just thought, and she was drooling.

All four of them are busy, and in a short while, the rabbit meat stewed with radish is ready. As usual, Gu Xiaowan filled a big bowl and put it in the big room. Gu Ningping had already placed four sets of dishes on the four corners of the table.

The four people sat around the table and happily ate a full meal.

Before the journey, a meal of rabbit meat and roast radish was such a plain dish that it never attracted her attention, let alone this dish, except for a bit of salt, there was no seasoning.

However, since the journey, the embarrassment and starvation of the family made her feel the most plain taste, but it brought her never before, and the family’s happiness and unity, overflowing from the bottom of my heart The heavy happiness!

Although it is still the same as the lunch dishes, the food for a family of four is sweet and delicious!

After dinner, as usual, Gu Ningping carried the dishes and chopsticks to clean it. Gu Xiaowan was not idle either, and the wild radishes he picked back were still waiting to be cleaned up!

The radishes are kept for a long time and can be kept often. It won’t be bad, especially if it’s in the twelfth lunar month, it won’t be bad.

But the leaf cloth of radishes is the same. If the leaves are left for too long, the leaves will lose their moisture, and the taste will be greatly reduced, and they may not be eaten.

What Gu Xiaowan wants to do now is to quickly pickle them while the leaves are still green.

After eating two full meals in a row, I was full of energy. Gu Xiaowan's work this evening was naturally different from before, and she was full of energy.

Because there is food in the house, even if there is heavy snow and hail outside, the four siblings hide at home and are not afraid of starving.

But Gu Xiaowan is not someone who can be satisfied so easily. After she is full, her other small goal is not just to be full. Let's set another small goal to eat well!

Gu Ningping was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Gu Xiaowan took Gu Ning'an and Gu Xiaoyi to clean up wild radishes. The other two children have been trained twice, and this time they are already familiar with picking up wild radishes.

There is not much salt in the family, and there is no money in the family. Gu Xiaowan doesn't know how much salt is sold in this world. She can't just waste salt. Moreover, salt is an indispensable condiment in the diet, and an indispensable substance in the human body. Nothing can be left without the dishes, just can't be without salt, otherwise, the clear soup will be oligo watery, and it will not taste at all, then it is really unpalatable!

And Gu Xiaowan picked the leaves on the top of the radish, and then washed it again, that is, to remove the yellow and rotten leaves on the top and clean the soil. Then set aside to dry.

There is a wooden bucket at home. Gu Xiaowan cleaned the wooden bucket, poured the boiling water in the small pot, and let it cool. After it was cold, Gu Xiaowan put some salt, and then saw the dried radish leaves carefully put in a wooden barrel layer by layer. The barrel was not big and did not soak a lot.

When it was almost left, Gu Xiaowan took in a large pebble that he saw in the yard this morning and pressed it on the radish leaves. The leaves in the whole barrel are soaked in salt water.

In order to prevent dust from falling into the sauerkraut, Gu Xiaowan put a wooden board on it.

Seeing the finished work, Gu Xiaowan took a long breath.

Gu Ningping saw her sister doing these things very well, and asked with some suspicion: "Sister, what did you think of, you want to pickle this leaf to eat?"

In the past, at home, except for the vegetables grown in the ground, they had never eaten this radish, let alone salted the leaves of the radish.

When Gu Xiaowan was proud, she could only lie and coax: "When my sister was sick, I dreamed that the gods made me a lot of delicious food and taught me how to do it, so I will do it!"

Gu Xiaowan coaxed it over with a single sentence. I'm afraid that no one would have thought that in this eight-year-old body, lived a ghost of a thousand years later. Hey, if you come, you will be at ease. Let's fill up your stomach first.

I guess I can taste it in ten days. When the time comes, we will fry a plate of sauerkraut to change the taste for everyone.

If you are lucky and can get a fish, you can also make a pot of pickled fish to taste.

It just so happens that the New Year is coming. Gu Xiaowan thought that in the first two years of the Gu family New Year, it was four and a half-year-old children who could eat anything, or Aunt Zhang brought something to eat, and spent the year hastily. Since the death of my parents, the New Year has not been like a Chinese New Year.

It is deserted every year. But this year, Gu Xiaowan intends to have a peaceful and beautiful year. When the time comes, every family kills chickens and geese. At the very least, they have to add meat dishes to the New Year's table. At the very least, let the three younger siblings eat.

Also, there is no more rice and noodles at home. Although I can eat enough now, eating vegetables all day is not a way. The most urgent task now is to find a way to quickly make some money and buy some rice noodles back.

Gu Xiaowan was very confident. I still couldn't eat enough yesterday. Today I won the first battle and achieved such a big gain. Gu Xiaowan believes that it will get better and better in the future.

After the four people washed their faces and feet with hot water, they felt the dark and went to bed.

Before going to bed, Gu Xiaowan looked at the pitch-black home, thinking in her heart that if she made money, she would have to buy a few candles.

Gu Xiaowan was tired for a day today, and was full of food. After lying on the bed, she fell asleep deeply.
