Chapter 12
By the time the white radish was harvested, the sun had risen to the middle of the sky.
Because there was still something to do in the afternoon, Lu Changge didn't let them go home and ate here directly.
Before they came back, Su Qingyun had already cooked the rice, and the dishes were fried after Lu Changge came back.
It is a big project to feed ten people, and Lu Changge alone can feed three people.
Lu Changge didn't let his wife do anything.
However, Su Qingyun still washed the dishes in advance.
Lu Changge and Uncle Li were busy in the kitchen, while Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin were busy in and out between the kitchen and the living room.
Washing dishes and serving dishes, anyway, as long as you can work.
As for delivering dishes in the kitchen and preparing dishes for frying, that's Li Erniu's job.
Why are they rushing to work?
It's really that the dishes at noon today are too rich. As far as the eye can see, they are all meat, and there are only two or three plates of vegetables.
I don't do much work, and I always feel that Uncle Lu is at a loss.
For the meal at noon, they couldn't even pull Uncle Lu's radishes for a few days.
Guilty.
The kitchen was bustling with activity, and a few children outside the yard were also having fun.
Xiaotuanzi has many small wooden toys, which were made by Lu Changge with drawings.
There are almost a dozen kinds of small toys such as a small wooden tumbler, a small pitching pot, a basket of building blocks, jigsaw puzzles, big black and two black pattern puzzles, etc.
Now they are all taken out by Xiaotuanzi.
A big mat was spread under the vines, and several two-year-old children sat on it and played games.
The washed grapes and watermelon are placed on the wooden pier aside, and they are almost eaten.
"Wow... there's meat!" The smell of meat from the kitchen came here, and Xiaotuanzi smelled it.
"Meat..." The child on the side echoed in a low voice, with longing in his eyes.
"Today...can I eat meat?" The little girl said in a daze as she smacked her lips.
"Chinese New Year... eat meat!" The twin brother sitting next to her clapped his hands and said with a silly grin.
After another 20 minutes, the dish was ready.
"Uncle Lu, it's time to eat!" Li Tugen came out with a plate of dishes and shouted.
"Okay." Su Qingyun responded aloud, and then looked at the children again.
"Tuanzi, take your siblings to wash their hands, it's time to eat."
Tuanzi was born a few days or half a month earlier than the other three children, so he was the oldest among them.
"Okay! Let's eat..."
After the last dish was fried, Lu Changge took off the apron and took it out.
In order to fit Lu Changge's long legs, the table for their family's usual meal was specially made higher by a carpenter, and the chairs were also matched.
But today the family is full of children, so Lu Changge moved out another big table.
After checking twice with a damp cloth, I asked them to bring the dishes over.
Today's dishes are very rich, and there are three kinds of meat, chicken, pork and bacon.
Meat dishes include chicken stewed with mushrooms, spicy chicken, stir-fried chicken giblets, fried pork slices with green peppers, braised pork, sweet and sour short ribs, and the last dish fried bacon with garlic sprouts.
There are seven meat dishes in total, and there are quite a lot of them.
In addition, there are a few fried vegetables and a pot of radish and ribs soup.
Seeing that the table was full of a large table of dishes, Uncle Li was a little speechless.
When I was in the kitchen, I felt that there were too many dishes, but now it is more intuitive to put on the table.
It's not a little bit, it's a lot.
"Is this dish... a little too much?" Uncle Li hesitated.
"I have a big appetite." Lu Changge said casually.
……
After taking a break after eating, Lu Changge and Uncle Li started to deal with the pile of white radishes.
White radish can be divided into two ways of eating raw and cooked.
Let me talk about cooked food first.
Sliced and fried with beef or pork, or cut into pieces for soup, such as the radish rib soup at noon.
When it comes to eating raw, in addition to eating raw, it can also be pickled.
So, keep some radishes.
Lu Changge moved the bags of big radishes weighing four to five catties back to the warehouse, planning to find a time to put them in the system space.
Start with the radishes.
Pour the radish out of the cloth bag, wash the soil on it, and then run it with water.
Three children, Li Tugen, Li Xiaomin, and Li Erniu, were in charge of the cleaning work, while Lu Changge was in charge of cutting the radishes.
A small radish was cut into four thick strips, there was a clicking sound, and a pile was cut in a short while.
Cut fifty radishes into thick strips, and fifty radishes into thin slices.
Then put them separately into large basins, sprinkle a handful of salt on each side, mix well, and set aside for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, pour out the radish water that was killed in the basin.
In the pot of thin slices, add appropriate amount of salt, sugar and chopped red pepper, and mix well.
In another pot, put the radish strips into the prepared jar, add salt and pepper, then pour in the mature vinegar diluted in equal proportions with cold white boiled water, and finally seal it with air.
The size of this jar is moderate, and fifty small radishes can fit two jars.
Next, start with a two-pound medium radish.
There are almost three hundred radishes of this weight, a total of more than 600 catties.
It doesn't take so much to make spicy dried radish.
One hundred sticks were moved into the warehouse first, and Lu Changge distributed another 20 sticks for Li Tugen and the others to take away when they returned later.
The remaining 180 were cut into short strips by Lu Changge.
Then move out the straw mats for drying grain and spread them under the sun, and spread the radish strips on it to dry.
In the current weather, the sun is strong and the temperature is high. It takes about two days to bask in the sun.
After the radish is processed, it is not too early.
Lu Changge settled the wages for Uncle Li and the others, and asked each of their families to bring home a bowl of pickled radishes, and ten radishes from each family.
Uncle Li and the others wanted to refuse. After all, they had already settled their wages and had a meal of meat at noon.
How can I still take things?
However, Lu Changge's expressionless face was indeed frightening.
Lu Changge is generous to others, but it also depends on the person.
Of course, too many radishes is also one of the reasons.
Hot and sour radish slices are ready to eat, as a snack or with porridge in the morning.
Lu Changge put it into a jar, filled two small jars, and there was more than one bowl left in the basin.
After he took the two jars into the kitchen and put them away, when he came out to see, Su Qingyun had already eaten half of them.
Everyone was sucked in by the hot Sihasiha, their lips were bright red, but they still couldn't stop eating.
Xiaotuanzi on the side, with teary eyes, seemed to be irritated.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law still wanted to pick it up to eat, Lu Changge quickly reached out and took his chopsticks.
"You can't eat too much at one time."
"Siha... I can't help it, this one is better than the one made last year."
"That's a good time..." Xiaotuanzi beside him said vaguely.
After two days in the sun, the radish strips became limp and shrunk in half.
It is best to dry it to this degree, if it is too dry, it will not be crispy.
360 catties of fresh radishes were finally dried out to 36 catties of dried radishes.
Pour the dried radish into the water basin and wash it several times, then spread it on the dustpan to dry the water on the surface.
After the water dries, start making spicy dried radish.
Pour in the chili powder, dried chili and chili oil in turn, add a pinch of salt and a few spoonfuls of sugar, and finally stir well.
The aroma of chili oil slowly came out, attracting the small dumplings.
Seeing Daddy eating delicious food, Xiaotuanzi raised his head: "Daddy, Tuanzi wants to eat too."
"This is spicy, you can't eat it." Lu Changge rejected the dumpling.
"It's spicy... I won't eat that dumpling." Xiaotuanzi ran away as soon as he heard that it was spicy.
It seemed that he was recalling what happened two days ago when he was overwhelmed by crying and crying.
After mixing well, Lu Changge divided the 36 catties of dried radish into two jars.
Then move to the warehouse for storage.
Put a little bit of the rest in small clay pots and put them in the kitchen.
In addition to the 75 big radishes that will be used for cooking in the future, there are also 100 medium-sized radishes in the warehouse.
Lu Changge has no other plans for the time being, so put it in the warehouse first.
……
After processing the radishes, Lu Changge started hunting in the mountains again to make money and stockpile food.
Of course, he didn't buy it in town this time, but went to Fucheng.
There are many things you can buy in Fucheng, and there are many types.
Lu Changge brought enough money and planned to go out this time to buy enough food for two years.
The food in the warehouse at home is enough for more than a year.
Drought for one year, floods for three months, and plagues and wars, let's count it as at least three years.
If it is not over after three years, then you can only find an isolated place to settle down.
Besides the staple food, Lu Changge also bought some seasonings.
The system space is static.
For this reason, Lu Changge bought two more pigs.
After buying it, people slaughter it and take care of it. Even the pigs’ offal must be treated until there is no peculiar smell, and then all of them are put into the system space.
It just so happened that a farming ox in a village broke its leg and had no choice but to sell it.
Lu Changge bought another half head directly.
I gave some money to the butcher to help deal with it.
Cut into chunks, slices, shreds and mince.
After subpackaging, find a place where there is no one and put it in the system space.
After buying rice, flour, two pigs and half a cow, Lu Changge only had five taels of silver left in his hands.
The money is gone and it's time to go home.
But before leaving, Lu Changge saw someone selling soybeans.
Soybeans and trotters can be stewed in soup, soy milk or tofu.
So, there were two big bags of soybeans, and Lu Changge bought them all for half a tael of silver.
Still put the soybeans into the system space, unexpectedly, one of the bags was 'vomited' out by the space.
[Drip-the system space is insufficient to store items. 】
Lu Changge: "..."
Does the system space still have memory?
[System, what's going on? ]
[Uh...the stuff is full. ] The system explained in a low voice.
[I mean, why is it full? ]
[Then... the space I lend to the host is limited, and now... it's full. ]
Lu Changge: "..."
Can't put it in?
What about the grain in the warehouse in his house?
[System, I remember you said that there are other things besides food for sign-in rewards.What about things? ]
Lu Changge didn't argue with it, and directly changed the topic to another direction.
[Ah, this...] The system that has forgotten about this is a little guilty.
[Don't say you forgot...] Lu Changge narrowed his eyes slightly.
[How...how is it possible? !Am I like this?My previous settings were issued after [-] cumulative sign-ins. ]
[OK, don’t forget tomorrow, remember to give me a space. ]
