031 Pickled Pickles

The water in the cauldron boiled, Gu Xiaowan lifted the lid of the pot, and in the rising mist, she gently threw a few pieces of rabbit meat into the pot, stirred it twice with a wooden spoon, and put the lid on again. .

Only then did he come to Gu Ningping's side. Gu Ningping was carefully cleaning the radishes. The round radishes were cleaned by Gu Ningping. Gu Xiaowan glanced at Gu Ningping with satisfaction.

This family is hardworking!

During this time, Gu Xiaowan suddenly remembered the pickled sauerkraut that her mother made in her previous life. If you can pickle some pickled cabbage and eat it, then make another fish and make a plate of sauerkraut fish, Gu Xiaowan's mouth waters just thinking about it.

The four of them were busy, and after a while, the stewed radish with rabbit meat was ready. Gu Xiaowan filled it with a big bowl as usual and put it in the big room. Gu Ningping had already placed four sets of bowls and chopsticks on the four corners of the table.

The four of them sat around the table and happily ate a full meal.

Before the crossover, a meal of rabbit meat and radish was such a bland dish that she never paid attention to it, let alone this dish, except for a little salt, there was no seasoning at all.

But since she crossed over, the family's embarrassment and starvation made her feel that this most bland taste brought her a treasure that she had never had before, and the family was happy and united, overflowing from the bottom of her heart. The heavy happiness!

Although it is still the same as the lunch dish, the food for a family of four is fragrant and sweet!

After dinner, as usual, Gu Ningping carried the tableware and chopsticks to clean. Gu Xiaowan was not idle either, the wild radishes that were picked were still waiting to be cleaned up!

Radishes can be stored for a long time and can be stored often. It won't be bad either, especially like now, in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, it won't be broken.

However, the leaves of radishes are the same. If the leaves are left for too long, the leaves will lose moisture, and the taste will be greatly reduced, and they may not be edible.

What Gu Xiaowan wanted to do now was to pickle the leaves while they were still green.

After eating two full meals in a row, I was full of energy. Gu Xiaowan's work at night this time was naturally different from before, and she was full of energy.

Because there was food at home, even if there was heavy snow or hail outside, the four of them hid at home and were not afraid of starvation.

But Gu Xiaowan is not a person who can be satisfied so easily. After she is full, her other small goal is not just to be full, but to set another small goal, to eat well!

Gu Ningping was washing dishes in the kitchen, while Gu Xiaowan took Gu Ning'an and Gu Xiaoyi to clean up wild radishes. The other two children have gone through two training sessions, and this time they are already familiar with picking up wild radishes.

There is not much salt at home, and there is no money at home. In this world, how much salt is sold for, Gu Xiaowan doesn't know very well, she can't just waste salt. Moreover, salt is an indispensable seasoning in the diet, and an indispensable material component in the human body. The dish can be without anything, but it cannot be without salt. Otherwise, the clear soup will have little water and no taste at all, then it will be really unpalatable!

And Gu Xiaowan picked the leaves on the radish, and then cleaned it, that is, removed the yellow leaves and rotten leaves on it, and cleaned the soil. Then set aside to dry.

There is a wooden barrel at home, Gu Xiaowan cleaned the wooden barrel, poured the boiled water in the small pot, and let it cool. After cooling down, Gu Xiaowan put some salt, and then saw the dried radish leaves being carefully put into the wooden bucket layer by layer. The wooden bucket was not big and didn't soak a lot.

When it was almost finished, Gu Xiaowan carried in a large pebble she saw in the yard this morning and pressed it on top of the radish leaves. The leaves in the entire wooden barrel are soaked in salt water.

In order to prevent dust from falling into the sauerkraut, Gu Xiaowan put another wooden board on it.

Looking at the completed work, Gu Xiaowan let out a long sigh of relief.

Gu Ningping saw her sister doing these things with ease, and asked suspiciously: "Sister, what did you think of, you want to pickle this leaf and eat it?"

In the past, except for the vegetables grown in the ground, they had never eaten this radish, let alone seen pickling the radish leaves in salt water.

In addition to being proud, Gu Xiaowan could only lie and coax: "When my sister was sick, I dreamed that the gods made me a lot of delicious food and taught me how to do it, so I will do it!"

Gu Xiaowan coaxed her with just one sentence. I'm afraid no one would have imagined that inside this eight-year-old body, there lived a ghost that floated over from a thousand years later. Hey, as soon as you come, you can rest assured, let's fill your stomach first.

It is estimated that it will be able to taste in ten days. It's time to fry a plate of sauerkraut to change the taste for everyone.

If you are lucky and can get a fish, you can also make a pot of pickled fish to taste.

It's almost New Year's Eve. Gu Xiaowan thought that in the first two years of the New Year's Eve, the four and a half-year-old children of the Gu family could eat something casually, or Aunt Zhang would send something to eat and spend the year hastily. Since the death of my parents, the new year has not been like a new year.

Every year is deserted. But this year, Gu Xiaowan plans to have a peaceful and beautiful year. At that time, when every family kills chickens and geese, at the very least, they will have a meat dish on the New Year's table, at least to keep their three younger brothers and sisters full.

Also, the family has run out of rice and noodles. Although I can eat enough now, it is not a good idea to eat vegetables all day. The most urgent task now is to find a way to make some money as soon as possible and buy some rice and noodles back.

Gu Xiaowan is very confident. Yesterday

It's because I can't get enough to eat. Today, I won the first battle and achieved such a big harvest. Gu Xiaowan believes that it will get better and better in the future.

After the four of them washed their faces and feet with hot water, they went to bed in the dark.

Before going to bed, Gu Xiaowan looked at the pitch-dark home, thinking in her heart that if she made money, she would have to buy some candles to come back.

Gu Xiaowan had been tired all day today, and she was full. She lay on the bed and fell asleep after a while.
