The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 126 Trying pickled cabbage (2)
"Besides, if the beans are not good, the villagers who really want to sell them, and don't play tricks, you tell them, go back and pick them up and bring them back for two cents a catty. .Three pennies and two catties, remember to open and keep separate accounts.”

Wu Tongtou agreed, and hurried out to make arrangements.

Qingshu turned her face to the side, saw Qingyang's eagerness to try, and smiled, "Xiaojuan, hold the silver box and follow the young master to the front." Then pinched Qingyang's fleshy little face, "You can pay the money Count well, if you give too little, the villagers will be angry, if you give too much, my sister will lose, you know?"

Qingyang said very seriously that he will count well.

"Let Zhang Da stand behind you, you are a very imposing young master, no one dares to underestimate you."

Qingyang nodded.

Soon, the previous harvesting of beans began.Wu Langtou kept the bills, Qingyang paid the bills, and a dozen strong men checked the scales and maintained order. Everything was going on in an orderly manner.

Qingshu took Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan to wander aimlessly in the Zhuangzi, still thinking about how to arrange the vegetables in the field.Pickled sauerkraut, she just watched her grandma pickle it when she was a child, but she had never tried it herself.She didn't pay attention to the modern methods of pickling sauerkraut in a day or two with medicine, and she didn't know how to do it.Now, the most important thing is the cabbage. The big radish and white radish on the four acres of land are easy to say. They have so many people, stew soup, make stuffing, and eat with pickles. They will definitely consume them all in one winter.

No matter how well the cabbage is stored in the cellar, it will rot a lot after a long time, so it can only be thrown away.Well, then try pickled sauerkraut.If you fail once, try again, it is better than waiting for the food to rot. "Xiaojuan, go ask the kitchen, is there a big one in the village? If there is no big one, a small one is fine." Bai Qingfeng didn't find a good market for cabbage, so she wouldn't naively think that she could.Everything has a market to sell.Everyone grows cabbage, and every family in the village grows cabbage. Where does the market come from?If pickling sauerkraut can be done, then there are other outlets for it.

Xiaojuan came back soon, and said that there was a big jar and a small jar on the Zhuangzi, which were used to pickle pickles.

After hearing this, Qing Shu hurriedly made arrangements. One was to confirm how much salt was in the kitchen, and the other was to ask the woman in the kitchen to clean the two jars quickly, so that they could not be stained with oil, and they had to be dried in the sun.The third is to let people go to the vegetable field to pull a dozen or so cabbages back.

Both large and small tanks have been washed and placed in the sun in the kitchen.The people who went to the vegetable field also came back and picked up twelve cabbages.Qingshu commanded Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu to cut off the cabbage root, and picked off the outer few cabbage leaves, and then picked nine heads of cabbage that were big enough to hold and put aside.

When the water stains in the cleaned vat were gone, Qingshu called Wu Xiaoshan and asked Wu Xiaoshan to move the small vat into the room where the sundries were placed next to the kitchen, and then sent Wu Xiaoshan out to find stones.The stone must be big, but not bigger than the opening of the small tank, and it must be washed by the well when it is brought back.

It is not difficult for the villagers to pickle sauerkraut. The prepared cabbage opens the mouth by holding the leaves, sprinkles some salt into the cabbage core, closes it, and lays it on the bottom of the tank.Spread a layer of cabbage and sprinkle salt on the cabbage once.Then spread again, sprinkle salt again, and so on.After putting all the cabbage in, pour well water into it. The water does not need to be too much, and the cabbage does not need to be submerged. Finally, put stones on top to complete.Wait for ten days and half a month, as long as the vegetables in the tank are not rotten or smelly, it is almost the same, and success is not far away.As for whether it tastes good in the end, it depends on personal craftsmanship.

Qingshu remembered that grandma said that things like pickling pickles and sauerkraut are the same as cooking.The same method, the same ingredients, and the dishes made by different people have different tastes.Some are delicious and some are not. The reason is not clear, so it depends on personal craftsmanship.

When it was done, Qing Shu hurriedly wrote it down in her "notepad". She wanted to read it while she could, and tried again if she couldn't.In short, there is still about a month before the freeze, that is, the cabbage and radish can still be kept in the ground for another month, and there is still time.

After finishing tinkering here, Qing Shu went to look at the original vegetable cellar again.The inside is cleaned very clean. Once the vegetables in the field are harvested, the vegetables that have been eaten for the winter can be put into this vegetable cellar for storage. "How many catties of vegetables can you store?" Qing Shu asked Wu Xiaoshan who was leading the way.

"Four to five thousand catties."

Four to five thousand catties sounds like a lot, but the weight of cabbage on the scale is beyond imagination. 35 acres of cabbage too!Some of them are sold, and the vegetable cellar is full, and there is still a lot left.Sure enough, the sauerkraut must be successful, otherwise the dish will have to be thrown away.

Qingshu and the others didn't go back to the town at noon, they ate at Zhuangzi.Qingyang ate his meal in a hurry, and ran to the front to collect the beans again.Because from time to time, people were rushing to the Gufu farm with bags on their shoulders, and those villages who hadn't heard the news also heard the news.At this moment, although the sold out ones have already left, the long line has not been shortened, and those who have traveled a long way and those who have just received the news are still coming one after another.

This situation is somewhat unexpected.Qing Shu originally thought that the beans would be harvested in half a day, so how could it have caused such a big impact.However, it’s okay, the more you charge, the better.As long as [-] to [-]% of the beans in the local area go into her hands, and the remaining [-] to [-]% will be taken away by the chariot and horse dealers to feed the livestock, then only she will have beans in the local area.How she will operate and how to set the price is all up to her.

As for the other two towns and De County, she has asked Bai Qingfeng to collect at least [-]% to [-]% of the local beans.She gave Bai Qingfeng a promise that she didn't care what price Bai Qingfeng charged her, as long as Bai Qingfeng delivered the beans to her, she would pay two cents per catty.

On the other side of the capital, Qingshu greeted Bu Yuyan, and asked Bu Yuyan to help her harvest as much beans as she could. In short, she couldn't feed the animals, and kept them all for her.Of course, there is no need for Bu Yuyan to come forward to collect beans, as long as Bu Yuyan tells her fifth brother that as a businessman, her fifth brother has so many people under him, so he can send out a manager at will to take care of this matter. It's done.

Qing Shu has already figured it out. When winter comes and the Spring Festival approaches, when people only have cabbage, radish and a few dried vegetables left on the dining table, it is time for the soybeans in her hand to play their role.

It was almost time for Shen Shi, and there were only five or six people in the queue, but from time to time there were peasant men carrying cloth bags.Wu Tongtou looked at the sky, said a few words to Wu Xiaoshan in a low voice, and continued to write down the accounts.

Wu Xiaoshan ran into Zhuangzi, asked Xiaojuan to report, and went into the house to see Qingshu. "Miss, Wu Guanshi said that many people asked their relatives before leaving whether they would still accept it tomorrow? If they accepted it, they would let relatives carry it to sell. Besides, it was getting late, but there were still people who brought beans. Wu Guanshi asked If there are still people coming after the application time, should they be sent back directly or continue to be collected.”
