Chapter 53

“Sister Feng, we are here to learn how to make pickled cabbage. This is the tuition fee,” Song Shuxi smiled and shook the oil paper bag in her hand.

Sister Feng’s two children, Hutou and Maodan, looked at the oil paper bag and drooled. They knew that it was peach cake, which was sold in the service center and was packaged in this way.

“Hey, why are you and sister-in-law being so polite? It’s not hard to learn this. Take it back and eat it yourself.” Sister Feng kept refusing. She really didn’t think that learning to make pickled cabbage could be exchanged for peach cake.

“Sister-in-law, if it was just you, I wouldn’t be polite. We still have Hutou and Maodan. Even if the adults don’t eat it, the children must eat it. Think of it as a sweet treat for them.”

When it comes to children, Sister Feng’s refusal faded. She can do whatever she wants, but she can’t bear to see the children drooling.

They are both good children. They never cry and ask for anything, but their eager eyes can’t lie.

Mothers love their children.

Sister Feng nodded and accepted the peach cake, “It’s too much to learn how to make pickled cabbage. I can also make other things, mustard greens, pickled radish, pickled garlic, spicy cabbage, a few can make a jar, winter is long, rely on these vegetables to live.”

“Then trouble Sister Feng,” this is Song Shuqian’s goal.

Sister Feng took out a large jar, the kind of jar that holds water. Explained: “This pickled cabbage will be eaten for a whole winter, and you need a lot, so you have to use this kind of large jar to pickle.”

Tiantian asked, “Sister Feng, does the service agency sell this kind of large jar?”

“The service agency occasionally has it, you have to order it in advance. If there are many people ordering, the purchaser will buy it all together, and the price is a bit expensive. Before the New Year, the production team below will organize a market, and the things are more complete, so it’s better to buy there.”

Sister Feng said this, Song Shuqian thought of the time when she and Wei Jianguo went to the village to exchange things. There should be water jars in the village, and she could exchange two at that time.

Mrs. Feng continued to explain, “First, we need to cut the Chinese cabbage in half, so that we can put it in boiling water to stop it from being cooked, and then let it cool down, so that everything is neatly arranged and dried.

Then we can put it in the jar, a layer of cabbage and a layer of coarse salt, and a little pepper in the middle to enhance the flavor.

After it is full, finally press it with a big stone. Wait for a month and it will be almost done.

Pay special attention to the use of coarse salt, check it several times in the middle, and stir it with clean chopsticks from time to time to prevent it from going bad. By the way, put it in a cool and ventilated place.”

Song Shuxi thought it was not difficult and wrote it down.

Mrs. Feng also talked about several ways to pickle other vegetables.

Seeing that it was getting late, Song Shuxi and the others said goodbye.

On the way, Tiantian asked, “Shuxi, did you feel that Mrs. Feng and the others were much more polite to us? Today, Mrs. Ding was even more focused on her work and spoke very little.”

Song Shuqian smiled and said, “I’ve noticed it. I’ll just keep my distance from her. I understand what Sister Ding is thinking. She’s worried that something might happen to our family and affect her. She’s just overthinking.”

After that, the two of them stopped talking about them. They were all unimportant people.

After returning home, Song Shuqian recalled the steps of pickling vegetables she saw today, took a notebook as her own recipe, and wrote down the method of making sauerkraut.

She also thought of garlic eggplant.

Once when they went to a state-owned restaurant, Wei Jianguo liked this very much, but he didn’t dare to eat it because he was worried that he didn’t like the taste of garlic.

In fact, if they cleaned up after eating, Song Shuqian was not that overbearing.

Song Shuqian’s stomach is delicate, and her diet is particularly light. Blanched vegetables and blanched seafood are her favorite methods. Wei Jianguo, on the contrary, likes some heavier meals, such as Maoxuewang and sauerkraut bones, which are his favorites.

After getting married, Wei Jianguo has always accommodated Song Shuqian, and at most he would add a spoonful of chili sauce when he was greedy.

Song Shuqian is not a heartless person, and she also wants to make something he likes.

Coincidentally, there are garlic and eggplant in my yard. Sister Ding also talked about how to make garlic eggplant today.

It was still early, and Song Shuqian took her small basket to pick eggplants in the yard. With the help of the spiritual liquid, their vegetables grew very well.

Wash the eggplants, cut them in the middle, but do not cut them off. Cut each eggplant three or four times and then steam them in a pot.

Mash the garlic, add salt, soy sauce, chili oil and coriander, and mix well.

The eggplants are cool currently.

Spread the seasoned garlic in the middle of each layer. Put them in clean small jars one by one and finally press the eggplants with a stone to squeeze out the excess water.

After finishing, Song Shuqian felt that her waist was not her own, and it was sore and painful.

At this moment, she especially missed Wei Jianguo, who was helping her massage her waist.

She ate a bite casually, rubbed her waist and went to take a shower. She had never been so sloppy before, and her body was full of garlic.

Put the flower petals brought from Dayong Dynasty in the bathtub, add a drop of spiritual liquid, soak in it and hum comfortably.

Sing a tuneless little song and give yourself a beautiful skin care.

Use the prepared skin care cream to apply it all over your body. These things are prepared by my mother and the imperial physician. Use a little bit less.

Usually, Song Shuqian is reluctant to do it.

After skin care, she also did a hair care to ensure that she is beautiful from the inside out before stopping.

I looked at the time and it was already eleven o’clock. As expected, women all love beauty and don’t feel tired when they get ready.

I lit the incense to help sleep and went to bed peacefully.

I woke up at eight o’clock the next day.

This sleep was so comfortable.

When Tiantian came, Song Shuqian was eating.

“Eat together?” Tiantian

waved her hand, “I’ve eaten, you eat by yourself. I just asked at the service center, and there is no water tank. Let’s go to the village below to ask.”

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! “Okay, wait for me for ten minutes.”

Song Shuqian wanted to be fast, and she really was fast. She finished her meal in 10 minutes, packed herself up, and set off on time.

Today, the two of them wore military uniforms at the same time. They felt that this would make them more credible and easier to buy things in the village below. Two beautiful girls came to

Yangshutunzi Village. The key point was that both girls rode bicycles, which caused a sensation as soon as they entered the village. The two were surrounded directly. “Girls, where are you from?” “What are you doing in our village? Are you here to look for a date? ” “Whose date have you chosen?” Song Shuqian explained with a smile, “We are wives of soldiers in the army. We came to see the captain for something. Which aunt can take us to see the captain?”

An auntie stepped forward and said, “I’m the captain’s wife. They are at the brigade headquarters. I’ll take you there. “

The two hurriedly thanked her.

Song Shuqian took out a handful of hard candies and stuffed them into the captain’s wife’s hands, “Excuse me, auntie. It’s getting cold soon. We’ve just got married. We don’t have time to prepare many mountain products. I’ll have to trouble you to help us get them from the team.”

The captain’s auntie took it with a smile and said, “That’s easy. I’ll definitely choose the best for you.”

“Auntie, do you have this mountain product now? It’s a long way for us to come down. If you have it, we can exchange it together. We’ll ask a bullock cart to send it back.”

The captain’s wife didn’t want to miss such a good thing, so she quickly agreed, “Yes, yes, don’t worry. I’ll follow you and help you check things. We never fool people in our village.”
