Going back to the past starts with grazing

Chapter 283

Liu Cuihua has been at her son-in-law's house for six days, and her daughter has also watched it. She has not been wronged and is living a good life.

Forget it, let's tell the truth!
Now she doesn't feel wronged by her daughter at all, and even feels that her daughter is a bit unworthy of Xu Lingjun.

In the past few days, she has often told Xiuzhi to change her, she must be more diligent, if Xiuzhi had not become clear, she was afraid that Xu Lingjun would not want her as a lazy girl.

And her son, who was not up to snuff, would smack his nose when people gave him a good look, without realizing it at all.

Now he is outside every day, clinging to his brother-in-law, if he doesn't care about it, he will become a wild man.

Now that there is nothing else to do, Liu Cuihua wondered if it was time to go back, but she hesitated when she thought of the gloves she had worked so hard to sew these days.

Her mother-in-law came to her daughter's house for several days, and the son-in-law gave them enough food to catch up with the New Year every day.

Now, as a mother, she is still waiting to get this little money, which is somewhat embarrassing, but the situation at home is like that, how much food can be bought with these three dollars!

"Xiuzhi, mother, the work of sewing gloves is done batch by batch. If it's gone, it's gone!"

"It just so happens that the dishes are all ready, so it's time to pickle. Let's pickle more this year. Pickle a jar of crushed pickles and pickle a jar of sour cabbage."

"By the way, put more chili peppers when marinating pickles, Xiuzhi loves chili peppers."

Seeing that the mother-in-law and Xiuzhi were not in high spirits, Xu Lingjun thought it was because they had no more work to sew gloves, so she diverted their attention and reassured them.

Besides, it's getting cold early here, and it's time to pickle vegetables.

"That's right, mother, we will pickle vegetables when we are free tomorrow! Old Xu, you don't know, my mother's handicraft is really good."

"Every year, people trade pickles with my mother, and some of them are exchanged for grain. I learned it from my mother. We have a secret recipe."

Xiuzhi looked up the millet porridge for everyone and said proudly.

It wasn't because of her job of not sewing gloves that she was tired just now, it was because she had received a lot of education from Liu Cuihua in the past few days.

Because of this, their food has become much simpler these days, but this is only relatively speaking.

Today's dinner is Erhe noodles pancakes, millet porridge, pickles, and salted duck eggs brought by Xu Lingjun.

This salted duck egg is a product of his space, because he went up the mountain some time ago, and the eggs in his space have not been able to be sold.

He was reluctant to let him use jade energy to keep it fresh, so he marinated a lot.

Anyway, there are many excuses he can use now, it can be said that it was given by seeing a doctor, or given by a wedding banquet, if it doesn't work, he can even make up a student's parent.

In short, Xu Lingjun seems to be the norm now to bring something home.

"Oh, slow down, why every time you eat, it's like you haven't eaten in a few lifetimes."

Liu Cuihua saw Li Jianjun eating and hit him angrily.

"Xiuzhi, look at Lingjun, she always misses you, you~ hey~"

"Okay, let's get up early tomorrow, pickle all the vegetables, and build an army. You are not allowed to run around tomorrow, and help at home."

Liu Cuihua ignored Li Jianjun's resentful eyes and said to Xiuzhi that just because of the pickling, she could wait for the money for sewing gloves.

When Li Jianjun heard that he was not allowed to go out to ride a horse, his eyes became more resentful.

And Xiuzhi is not much better now, since her mother came here, she has been said so many times, making it seem that Xu Lingjun is her son and she is her daughter-in-law.

She knew that Xu Lingjun was good to her and loved her, but she was not as lazy as her mother said!

Now, no one in the team praises her, saying that she is ingenious and quick at work, but why does she get a lazy evaluation from her mother.

"Hey~"

Xiuzhi and Li Jianjun sighed together, and they glanced at each other, seeing the meaning of sympathy in each other's eyes.

"Come here~Jianjun, eat another salted egg. This egg is just being salted. Look at the yolk that is dripping with oil."

"Put it in a bowl and eat it with millet porridge. It tastes amazing."

"By the way, let's have another pancake. How can such a big boy eat two pancakes? How can this work?"

After Xu Lingjun finished speaking, he brought Li Jianjun a pancake and peeled a salted egg.

"Thank you brother-in-law, thank you brother-in-law~"

Li Jianjun couldn't care less about her mother's eyes now, and hurriedly buried his head in his meal.

He wanted to eat one more just now, but was kicked several times by his mother under the table, making him restrain himself.

Now the pancakes and eggs are given by my brother-in-law, not by him.

"Xiuzhi, you eat too, eat more, mother too, there are still a lot of pancakes, one more for each person." Xu Lingjun hurriedly greeted.

He had already seen that Liu Cuihua wouldn't let Li Jianjun and Xiuzhi eat more.

So Xu Lingjun could only say hello, and he didn't lack for this kind of food. The mother-in-law and brother-in-law came, so what if they didn't have enough to eat.

This is actually the habit of Liu Cuihua's family, or the habit of ordinary families in this era.

The man who is in charge of the house needs to eat enough, so that he can earn food and drink for the whole family, and the rest of the family can just drink some water to make up for the bottom line.

It would be great if they could eat some dry food here in Xu Lingjun, and if they were full with such fine and expensive food, it would be fine.

Liu Cuihua looked at her son-in-law generously bringing food for everyone, she was both happy and a little worried.

Early the next morning, Xu Lingjun went to school, and Xiuzhi and the others started to pickle vegetables.

Xiuzhi was right, her mother Liu Cuihua's pickled vegetables were really delicious, and she even had some special tricks, which was a secret recipe that was passed on from one woman to another in their family.

It's a bit exaggerated, it's not that men are not passed on, but mainly men don't learn this.

The secret recipe is actually very simple, that is, the two words "lazy" and "diligence". It is hard to imagine how these two relative words can become the secret recipe.

In fact, you should be "lazy" when pickling vegetables, and "diligent" when eating vegetables.

The word "lazy" means don't be diligent when pickling vegetables, this dish can't be washed.

Liu Cuihua doesn't know the reason, anyway, she knows that if people who love cleanliness wash their vegetables before pickling, they will easily spoil.

If you study it carefully, it actually makes sense, that is, washed vegetables are prone to microorganisms when they are stained with water, and such vegetables are easy to spoil.

This is why the conditions of those large-scale pickle factories in the past are not good, but the pickled vegetables are delicious.

Of course, later with more advanced technology, they are all machines, and the one with integrated cleaning and disinfection does not have this problem.

Let me talk about the word "diligence".

Many people may have discovered a problem, that is, the poorer the family, the better the pickled dishes.

The better the family conditions, the pickles are not only easy to spoil, but also delicious.

This is where the word "diligence" comes in, that is, eating diligently.

The conditions in the family are not good, and they eat pickles every day. When the women pick up vegetables, they habitually mix them together. This way, the pickles are not easy to spoil, and they are also very delicious.

Liu Cuihua didn't know the specific reason, but the secret of these two words was summed up by their family, which can be regarded as the secret recipe of pickles.

By the way, I almost forgot that this pickle jar is also very particular.

That is, after eating the pickles, the salty soup should be disposed of in time, preferably in the sun.

If this thing has been left unused for half a year, if you really want to wash it, you have to wash it with boiling water.

Pour out the water after washing, it is best to dry slowly in the shade, and then dry it in the sun. If you wash it directly, the pickled vegetables are easy to spoil.

This Xiuzhi understands that she has already made it in advance, so there is no need to wait today.

Of course, there are some other tricks besides this.

This is all a matter of technique, as long as the general surface is correct, the taste of the marinated vegetables will not be much worse.
