I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 1344 Pickled Sauerkraut

The next day, after breakfast, Li Cuihua, Mrs. Nie and Mrs. Ma all came.

Li Cuihua originally said that she couldn't come, but who told me to eat the pork head meat from Li Xingxing's house, I was ashamed to stay in my yard and watch Aunt Ma and Aunt Nie busy.

Moreover, Zhou Feiyang also told her and Xia Mingxing and his wife to walk around more.

Aunt Ma came here to help because Ma Xiaojiang and Xia Mingxing knew each other.

They are all locals, veterans of pickling sauerkraut. When they come up, one will boil water, and the other two will pick out good cabbage that has been dried for two or three days. Cut it in half.

The cabbage in Northeast China is all yellow sprout cabbage, which looks very beautiful.

Then, the vat for pickling sauerkraut was moved to the west side of the room next to the large cabinet, far away from the kang.

Salt was sprinkled on the bottom of the tank, and they put the cabbage in, with the cut side up.

Sprinkle salt again, add another layer of cabbage, add layer by layer to the mouth of the tank, sprinkle another layer of salt on the surface, then press it with a big stone, and then pour it full of cool white leaves.

After all, Xia Xingxing and Li Xingxing were not locals, so they pickled ten or eight jars of sauerkraut at every turn, for a total of three jars.

"This is raw pickle, and it can be eaten in a month." Auntie Nie told Li Xingxing.

Li Xingxing asked curiously: "Raw pickles? Is there still cooked pickles?"

Sister Nie smiled, "Unfortunately, there is another method called cooked pickling, which is to deep-fry the cabbage first, and then pickle according to the method just now. The pickling time is shorter, and you can eat it in your mouth earlier. .”

"Fried? Is there deep-fried? I haven't eaten fried sauerkraut yet!" Li Xing said.

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, "When frying, you scald it with boiling water, take it out and dry it, and then put it in the vat. How can you use oil for frying? When pickling sauerkraut, the most taboo is raw water and oil stains. You can't touch it at all, otherwise the sauerkraut will be damaged." It will rot and stink and cannot be eaten."

Li Xingxing rubbed his head, "I am so ignorant that you laugh at me."

Xia Mingxing poured malted milk in an enamel jar and brought it to them, "Thank you aunt and sisters-in-law for your help, otherwise we will be caught blind, and we won't be able to eat sauerkraut all winter."

In fact, he knows how to pickle sauerkraut, but he is not a local, and he is not as experienced as them.

Masters are often among the folks!

Aunt Ma smiled all over her face, "Xia Gong, you and Xiao Jiang are comrades in arms. With the relationship between the two of you, why are you being polite to me? Xiao Jiang came here when the factory was first established. We know the inside and outside of the factory very well. Come find me."

"I have something to say, please send a message to Brother Ma." Xia Mingxing said.

Aunt Ma agreed straight away: "You tell me, I promise to bring it."

Xia Xingxing said with a smile: "Although my wife and I moved here in September, because I went to work on the third day, I didn't get to know everyone well. Now that I know that I have comrades like Brother Ma in the factory, I The daughter-in-law said that while I was at home, I asked them to come up to identify the door, and please ask Brother Ma to help me to say hello, and come to my house tomorrow night for a reunion."

Li Xingxing followed up and said: "Isn't that right, I have never seen comrades like Xiao Xia, I must get to know them!"

"No problem, I told Xiao Jiang to get him together." Aunt Ma understood their comradeship, and her son would meet with them every now and then to drink some wine and talk about the past.

Their feelings are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.
