Chapter 223: Storing Food for the Winter
The large jar for pickled vegetables is placed behind the door of the main room, where cold air can enter.
When Aunt Cui returned home, she brought me some seedlings.
Aunt Cui did not refuse.
When his son comes back to visit relatives during the Spring Festival, he will bring back local specialties, and the Jiang family will have a share.
Jiang Wen cooked some porridge, and after eating, they washed up and went back to their rooms.
After entering the space, Gu Lixia felt uncomfortable in her stomach. Her period should be coming, so she went to boil some medicine.
After enduring it.
Instruct Jiang Wen to knead the dough, as he wanted to eat hot noodles.
Gu Lixia made a fried egg.
Cut the chicken thighs into small pieces and set aside.
Prepare the batter. Place cornstarch, flour, olive oil, salt, white pepper, garlic powder, chicken bouillon, and five-spice powder in a bowl. Crack in 1 egg and mix well.
Coat the chicken thighs with a layer of batter and then a layer of breadcrumbs.
Spray a layer of oil in the air fryer, put the chicken pieces into the air fryer, and bake at 180 degrees for 12 minutes.
After 12 minutes of baking, shake the chicken nuggets, then bake at 200 degrees for another 3 minutes, and the chicken nuggets are done.
Jiang Wen asked Gu Lixia, "Why are you willing to give out 300 kilograms of cabbage today?"
"I don't need it, so I should give it to those who need it. Besides, the cabbages in the yard are a little small, but they are edible." What Gu Lixia wanted was right and wrong.
Gu Lixia looked at Jiang Wen. She had been taught that money was of paramount importance. Money plus true love was ideal, but even without true love, as long as the man had good character, it was acceptable.
The economic foundation determines a family's concept.
That's why Gu Lixia enjoys life so crazily.
Try to see more scenery when you are young.
Now, Gu Lixia began to feel fortunate.
My choice is right.
However, this quarrel exposed a problem.
Jiang Wen is a compassionate person.
A person who advocates tolerance.
To sum it up, a nice guy.
The fate of being a nice guy is that everyone comes to you when they have something to do, treating you as a free lunch. After eating, everyone wipes their mouths, pats their butts and leaves, giving you a "nice guy" card to get rid of you.
Make a habit of helping others.
No matter how big or small the matter is, I am willing to lend a hand to others.
In short, it is not wrong to call those who are helped good people.
If you cut off a piece of flesh to save a person, they will be grateful, but the more you cut off, the more they will want. In the end, even if you cut that person down to nothing but bones, they will still not be satisfied.
If someone understands your kindness, it's fine. But if someone doesn't, they won't take your kindness seriously...
It is right for people to do good.
We choose to be good and kind.
Life is not easy and the world is difficult.
Gu Lixia directly expressed her opinion, "Helping others is a favor, not a duty. I don't think I'm wrong. Then let me ask you, the Hu family sold their food coupons and came to our house crying poor, what would you do?"
"That's impossible. Everyone knows the importance of food. Besides, just give me two bowls. I'll return it next month."
"Then let me ask you, how come Dad lent out so much food before and no one paid it back? Don't they go to collect the food every month?"
“Everyone is used to settling accounts at the end of the year.”
"Jiang Wen, don't you know how much food the Jiang family has? You've taken advantage of Huaibei and Huaixi before. Wake up."
"We don't talk about these things among family members."
"Are you sure? If Huainan has 14, Huaibei has 12, and Huaixi has 11 this year, would you still lend it? Do you have the right to be generous to others?"
"We were talking about medicine."
"I have the right to decide what to do with my things. You didn't consider what I would face if I took them out, did you? Jiang Wen, it's like I chose you. I could live well with anyone else. I chose you."
This was the first time Jiang Wen heard such words.
It is said that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog.
However, Gu Lixia never thought so.
Like now, Gu Lixia is very confident.
Jiang Wen realized that he was the boss of Gu Lixia, and it all depended on whether the other party was willing to cooperate.
"You think you are great, and you can make contributions. Of course, you only need to contribute yourself."
"Last month, the grain station didn't release any grain. Why didn't anyone come to borrow grain from our house? Tell me."
"We just asked for it back, and now we have to borrow it again. Wouldn't that make people laugh?"
"Think about it. What situations require us to help others? For example, if Li Gang asks us not to pay back his salary this month, we understand. But why didn't the Hu family go to the hospital? You blame me just because they're reluctant to spend the money. Jiang Wen, think about this carefully."
After dinner, Gu Lixia continued to boil the medicine.
Massage, go back to the house, wash up, and go to bed.
The next morning, I woke up and was walking towards the kitchen when I felt my period coming, so I turned back.
Let the system wake Jiang Wen up.
Gu Lixia changed her clothes, put on her pajamas, came out, mixed the medicine together, and warmed it up.
Jiang Wen also came out.
Gu Lixia cooked some wontons to eat.
Jiang Wen steamed dumplings.
Gu Lixia drank the medicine and let Jiang Wen out of the space.
It was time to go to work and Gu Lixia also came out.
Jiang Wen took the initiative to bring Jiang Huaixi and carried a thermos.
Gu Lixia went to the office and waited for Jiang Wen to finish cleaning up. Then she sat down and made some brown sugar and red date water.
After the regular meeting, it was announced that everyone would receive their salary, and Li Gang indeed proposed to suspend his salary starting from this month.
Wait until January next year to start.
Gu Lixia agreed.
He only received the couple's wages and bills.
Put them all into the space.
Safety.
Go home from get off work at noon.
Let Huainan and Huaibei pick the mustard cabbage in the yard.
Jiang Wen carried water and continued to pour it into the bath tub for washing.
Peel off the older parts, wash them, and place them on the windowsill to dry the surface moisture to ensure that there is no raw water.
Prepare coarse-grained salt specifically for pickling vegetables. Put a whole bag of salt into the pot, add a handful of peppercorns and an appropriate amount of water, and start cooking until it boils. When you see that the salt is completely melted in the pot, remove from the pot and wait for it to cool.
Let it cool completely, prepare a large jar to hold the mustard cabbage, disinfect it in advance, and make sure it is free of water and oil, then put the drained mustard cabbage in.
The big one is placed next to the big one for pickling cabbage.
Pour the pre-cooked and cooled pepper and salt water into the mustard greens until they are covered. After everything is in place, cover it and place it in a cool, dry place.
After about a month of pickling, the mustard greens are ready to eat. Use water-free and oil-free chopsticks to pick them up. Keep the rest sealed and eat them whenever you want.
Jiang Wen also cleaned the large water drain under the gate and moved it to the kitchen to be used for draining water in the future.
By Sunday, Gu Lixia's period was finally over.
Gu Lixia enjoyed the bathtub massage service.
Get up early in the morning and continue to go to the village.
I got back 2 cloth bags of potatoes.
I continued to go and came back with 2 more bags of sweet potatoes.
