The salted fish life of the lucky wife

Chapter 244 244, pickles

And pickled vegetables are like making soup. They pay attention to slow fire and slow cooking, which embodies a kind of real skill and knowledge.

It takes more than half a month for a jar of pickled vegetables to mature. The longer the pickled time, the more crystal clear the pickled vegetables will be. Same.

There are two ways to make pickled vegetables. One is dry pickling. Wash and chop the vegetables finely and dry them in the sun, then put them in a jar and seal them. In the jar, add rice washing water or boiled and cooled salt water. After marinating for a period of time, wait for the pickled vegetables and soup to turn sour.

There are four methods of pickling:

(1) Pickling method, which mainly uses high-concentration salt solution to preserve vegetables, and enhances the flavor of vegetables through pickling.

(2) Soaking method, under low concentration of salt, lactic acid bacteria are used to ferment the sugar in vegetables to generate lactic acid, so as to achieve the purpose of preserving vegetables and give vegetables a special flavor.

(3) Sauce making method. The salted vegetables are immersed in the sauce for sauce, so that the umami, aroma, color and nutrients of the sauce liquid can penetrate into the vegetable tissue to increase its flavor, which is called the sauce making method.

(4) Sweet and sour method, after the vegetables are salted, they are immersed in the prepared sweet and sour solution to make the product sweet and sour, and the antiseptic effect of sweet and sour is used to preserve the vegetables.

Therefore, vegetable pickling can be regarded as a very ancient method of vegetable processing and storage. It is simple to make, and local materials are used. In different regions, different foods with unique flavors will be formed.

It can be said that there is a long history on the loess of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor.

-

Qin Tianru personally likes to eat all kinds of pickled vegetables. In the past, she basically made all the side dishes at home.

There are many ways to eat pickled vegetables. They can not only be eaten in their original flavor, but also steamed and fried. They can also be used as a side dish to make delicious dishes.

It's just that this kind of pickled food should not be eaten too much for a long time, and a certain amount of consumption needs to be controlled.

Soon, Qin Tianru prepared all the ingredients and started to marinate.

She smeared the endive and broom vegetables with refined salt, and then rubbed them until the leaves of the vegetables were completely soaked in water. After standing for half an hour, she added other seasonings and mixed them, and finally put them into a vegetable jar and sealed them.

There are a lot of wild vegetables, and three vegetable jars are pickled in total.

Then, Qin Tianru started making bamboo shoots in sauce again.

She first cuts the spring bamboo shoots into sections, then mixes them well with salt and sweet noodle sauce, and then puts them in jars, and the sauce is ready for about ten days.

As for the white radish, Qin Tianru plans to make sweet and spicy kimchi, which is used with various rice porridges, especially for appetizers.

But before she finished, Qi Yuanhua and Qi Jun rushed back.

"Boss, there's a letter!"

Qi Han was helping his daughter-in-law, when he heard his father's voice, he immediately came out to greet him.

"Whose letter?"

Qi Yuanhua excitedly handed the letter to Qi Han, "The mailing address should be the conductor of the train."

Although the couple didn't talk about work these days, they were still looking forward to it anxiously.

"Well, let me see."

Compared to his father's excitement, Qi Han was much calmer, took the envelope calmly and read it.

Qi Yuanhua's eyes were fixed on the eldest son, and he asked anxiously, "How is it? What did the train conductor say?"

Qi Han said calmly, "It's done."

"It's done? Does it mean that the train conductor has completed the work?"

Qi Yuanhua's face was full of joy. At this moment, his heart was truly at ease.

"Yes, let me bring my account book and letter of introduction, and I can report to the county transportation team at any time."

Qi Han calmly put away the letter paper. In the letter, the train conductor also said that if he wanted, he could arrange himself into the transport team of the provincial capital.

However, he has no idea of ​​working in the provincial capital at all.

The family tried their best to stay away from the provincial capital, how could they run back foolishly?

In the next few years, their family will live in Shengli Production Brigade, and they will not go anywhere else.

The reason why they chose to work in the transportation team was just to find a protective umbrella so that the couple could do some small things in private.

Moreover, the transportation team in the provincial capital was too far away from the village, and it would take several days to go back and forth. He didn't want to be too far away from his wife.

Although the county seat is still some distance away, it is much more convenient than the provincial capital. Unfortunately, the current township has not yet established a transport team, otherwise he would have chosen the township directly.

Thinking about it carefully, no matter whether you work in a county or a town, the essence is the same, because choosing a transportation team means you have to drive around, and you don't have to work in a fixed unit.

It's just a difference in where it's reported.

"It's a good gesture, it's finally come true." Qi Yuanhua's joy was beyond words.

Qi Jun was also very happy, "Brother, are you going to be a driver soon?"

Qi Han nodded, "Yes."

"Great! Brother, can I go with you?" Qi Jun excitedly asked for his opinion, he wanted to see how to drive a big truck.

Qi Yuanhua looked solemn, and scolded sharply: "Your elder brother is going to work for a serious business, not just for fun. Why are you following along to join in the fun? Stay at home honestly and help with some work. You are not young anymore. Don't know how to play all day long!"

In the countryside, boys at the age of thirteen or fourteen can hold up the house, and can do all kinds of farm work in the field, and they can work as a grown man.

And the youngest son of their family is still a child at heart, thinking about how to have fun all day long.

Now that the boss's job has been confirmed, the family's labor force has obviously been reduced by more than half. During this period of time, the boss is almost responsible for many heavy tasks in the family, such as carrying water, chopping firewood, and farming.

If the eldest son went to work, the work of the family would naturally fall on him and the youngest son. Before the eldest son was there, the youngest son could do whatever he wanted.

But now it can't be done, he can no longer indulge his younger son's temper, Xiaojun will be fourteen years old in the second half of this year, and he should learn to take on the responsibilities of the family.

"I'm just asking"

Qi Jun shrank his neck in fright, what happened to his father?
This is the first time he has seen his father lose such a big temper, so fierce!
He didn't do anything heinous, so why get so angry?
Qin Tianru saw that there was a lot of movement in the courtyard, and after covering the kimchi jar, he walked out slowly.

"what's wrong?"

Qi Yuanhua put away his bad face in an instant, he didn't want to leave a fierce image in front of his well-behaved and sensible eldest daughter-in-law, he was the kindest elder.
