Chapter 64 Pickles
Seeing that Chen Xuanyu didn't speak for a long time, Yu Chengfeng knew that he must have been touched in his heart, and said with a smile: "Hehe, brother Chen, your thinking is too simple. You and I can leave it alone, but what about Liu Juren? Liu Juren went to the hospital a few days ago After making trouble for her, the woman was able to get rid of it only after hurting her hand. Do you think he can give up so easily? How can he let a woman handle him easily? Sooner or later, he will touch the Wang family, but now he has some scruples. "Yu Chengfeng knew Liu Mingming better than Chen Xuanyu.

A cold light flashed in Chen Xuanyu's eyes. He had inquired about Liu Mingyi and Qiaozhen's affairs, and felt that Liu Mingyi was too much for doing such a thing. Based on his intuition, he felt that the woman was not an adulterous person, and would not commit such a crime. It was his fault, she was dragged back in the mass grave and took her life, it sounded sour, he felt a bit of sympathy for the woman in his heart, thinking that if he could help, it would be fine .

"Since brother Yu is interested in sending people to inquire from time to time, why not help?" Chen Xuanyu said lightly.

"Help me? Hehe, Brother Chen was joking, why should she use us to help! If we helped her, she might blame us for not thinking! You didn't see her avoiding us like a snake, why should I ask for it? It's boring, haha." Yu Chengfeng laughed after speaking, and that smile had a special meaning.

Chen Xuanyu raised his brows when he heard Yu Chengfeng's words. The woman looked very gentle on the surface and easy to talk to, but in fact she was very stubborn. He could tell that she was unwilling to approach him and Yu Chengfeng. If they took the initiative to help her , I'm afraid the woman won't accept it, that's all!Let's let it go, if you can help her, you can help her, if you can't, you can't blame them.

Qiaozhen didn't know about the conversation between Yu Chengfeng and Chen Xuanyu in the restaurant. She sold her things and went home with Qiaohong and San'er.Qiaozhen distributed half of the money earned every day to the Zhang family, because the Zhang family crushed all their sweet potatoes into powder and brought them here. The total amount was more than that of the Wang family.

She gave half of the rest to the Zhou family, and kept the half for herself. She gave it to the Zhou family to improve the life of the family, and kept it for herself for future business.

With the money from Qiaozhen, the life of the Wang family is easier, even Yuhua's complaints are much less, and life is much more peaceful than before.

The days passed quickly, and it has entered October in a blink of an eye. The weather is slowly getting colder. Although it is not as good as winter, but because there is no heating in the house, it can still make people feel chilly. Qiaozhen will sleep with the quilt at night Wrap tightly.

Although the weather is starting to get cold, her jelly noodle business has been doing well. Now the hot jelly noodle is selling very well, and she has a stable income every day.

When eating this morning, Yuhua picked and picked, and said with a curled mouth: "Every day is a turnip dish, and I don't know what it tastes like when it tastes so weak, can't I change it?"

"If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it. At this time of year, what else do you want to eat besides radish and cabbage? If it wasn't for Qiaozhen's money, you wouldn't even want to eat radish and cabbage. I think you can live with bean dregs every day." Zhou Shi Dissatisfied, he said to his daughter-in-law, now it is good to have food every meal, and he is also picky, so life is really good.

"I didn't say that Qiaozhen is bad, but I just wanted to change it up. Every morning radish and evening cabbage, everyone can eat enough. Otherwise, Qiaozhen, you can fry a few bowls of jelly and eat it." Yuhua said to her now. Qiaozhen's attitude has improved a lot, and he seldom utters bad words.

"You're so beautiful, there's not enough jelly for you to sell, and you still eat it. Why do you have a mouthful?" Zhou couldn't see her daughter-in-law like this.

Yuhua curled her lips, not caring what her mother-in-law said.

"Mother, sister-in-law, take out the radishes and cabbage in the first half of the day, wash the radishes, and chop the roots of the cabbage. When I close the stall and tidy up, our family will also eat vegetables in a different way."

Qiaozhen is actually a bit annoyed, she hated carrots the most in her previous life, and cabbage was average too.But there are no other dishes in this season. Frying radish in the morning means cutting the radish into thick shreds and frying it with chopped green onion. It’s really not tasty if there is little oil and no salt.

Cabbage, Qiaozhen hates cabbage bang the most. Although the vegetable is green and natural, it can’t be eaten every day. Stir-fried cabbage is the same as fried radish. It is different from the cabbage fried at home.In addition, Mrs. Zhou and her sister-in-law don't know any other tricks. They fry them well and eat them every day. It's no wonder they don't bother them.

Qiaozhen also thought about cutting some meat once in a while, but once, Zhou said she was a prodigal, and she refused to let her go.

But today, after listening to my sister-in-law, she can experiment with different flavors, such as pickling cabbage into sauerkraut and turning radish into pickles. She has never done this before, but she has eaten sauerkraut from Northeast China and Hubei in her previous life. Although she doesn't know the production process of kimchi very well, she understands a little bit, and she doesn't sell it, so she tried it a few times to make it for her own family, and it's still okay.

"Auntie, what delicious food are you going to get?" Cheng Zi looked at his aunt expectantly. The aunt could not only teach him to recite books, but also make delicious food. After the aunt came back, the food at home changed. Much better, he likes Dagu.

"Chengzi will know when the time comes, but Chengzi doesn't necessarily like to eat. If my aunt's business is good today, she will come back and buy delicious food for you and Shengzi." Qiaozhen said with a smile.

Now she and Chengzi have a good voice. Chengzi has almost finished reciting the Three Character Classic, and Shengzi keeps babbling all day long. Although he always forgets, he is studying very seriously. Help her, so the progress is slow, but San'er memorizes very quickly, and now he has caught up with Cheng Zi's progress.

"Come on, hurry up, slow down on the way, you'll be hungry at noon, don't be reluctant to eat." Mrs. Zhou told her daughter and son.

When Qiaozhen and the others came back in a while, they saw that the cabbage and radishes had been packed.Qiaozhen asked the second sister-in-law to help her cut the radish into strips and tore up a cabbage, while she started making sauerkraut.

Qiaozhen thinks carefully about the memories of her previous life. They basically don’t eat sauerkraut in the Central Plains, and only those who go out to wander can eat it. She still ate it when she was walking around with that Ah Quan. The big bones of sauerkraut in the Northeast are very famous. , I remember when she ate sauerkraut pot for the first time, she drank a lot of soup, and the taste was really good. This is different from the sauerkraut instant noodles that came out later.

At that time, she thought that she would be a good wife in the future, and she could make delicious food to keep a man's stomach, so when she met someone she liked, she would ask how to do it.She asked about sauerkraut, and the other party simply told her a few words, but if she could pickle delicious sauerkraut with just those few words, Qiao Zhen didn't think she had that ability, so she could only experiment.

Winter in the Central Plains is not suitable for pickling sauerkraut, because the temperature required for sauerkraut is neither too low nor too high.

Qiaozhen asked Qiaohong to pass the cabbage to her, and she arranged the cabbage around the tank, sprinkled some coarse salt on one layer, and then placed another layer and sprinkled salt.

"My God, Qiaozhen, you don't feel sorry for using so much salt. This salt is enough for us to eat for a month. What are you doing? Why is it so precious?" Yuhua opened her mouth and shouted .

"If you don't put salt in the vegetables, they will rot. That's alright, just pickle a little, and see if it works. If it works, pickle more next time." Qiaozhen only put in half a pot of cabbage, and she didn't dare to put more. Afraid of breaking it, I filled the tank with water, pressed a large stone on it, closed the lid, and left it alone.

As for kimchi, Qiaozhen used boiled water, cooled it and poured it into a jar, put vinegar in it, added a little shochu, aniseed, radish strips, cabbage cubes and a pepper, and nothing else, originally There should also be a little sugar, but the Wang family didn't have it, so they didn't put it.

After closing the lid, Qiaozhen told her not to lift the lid, she would open it when the day came, but she didn't know if it would work or not.But she was open-minded and didn't think about it, anyway, she would know when the time came.

The Wang family, especially Yuhua, are greedy for the things in the jars and tanks every day. Although they are also carrots and cabbage, she hopes to find a new way to eat them. She can't wait to lift the lid every day to have a look. Afraid of spoiling things, I held back and didn't move, but my heart was like a cat scratching, and I had to go and see if I didn't lift it.

After finally going through a week, Qiaozhen went to see the kimchi jar, she took a breath, and opened the lid to know if it was successful or not.

Qiaozhen lifted the lid, and before she could see clearly, she heard Yuhua shout: "Oh my God, it's all grown white, can this still be eaten? Isn't this a waste of food? Qiaozhen, tell me that you have been making it for a long time , Just harm things, our family is not rich, how much will be harmed to you."

Zhou and the others also looked at it, and there was indeed a white layer on it, and they all frowned.

Qiaozhen didn't quite understand, she used chopsticks to remove the white skin, looked at the vegetables, the color of the vegetables was different from the fresh ones, and the color was somewhat similar to the pickles she ate before, could it be done?
Qiaozhen picked up a piece of radish and was about to put it in his mouth.

"Mother come to eat, don't eat it first, you child, you can taste everything, what if you eat something bad?" Mrs. Zhou took her daughter's hand, and then put the radish sticks in her mouth.

"Sour." Zhou frowned.

"Let me just say I can't eat it. She ruined it all. These dishes may not last forever, really." Yuhua muttered dissatisfied.

"Sour, but still a bit crunchy, what do you say? It's not unpalatable." Zhou said after chewing a few bites.

Qiaozhen took a piece and tasted it, it was indeed a bit sour, the taste was not as good as the previous life, maybe lack of seasoning, or the proportions were not quite right, but it was not unpalatable, the radish was sour, it was a bit crunchy, some tasty.

She ate another piece of cabbage, it was okay, I guess it will be improved in the future, the taste should be good, in this way, she didn't spoil it, and the method is still right, Qiaozhen is really happy.
