Chapter 59 Preparing Pickled Vegetables 2
"Sister Pingping, you have to think about it carefully. You don't want the boys in the village to sneak into the houses of girls with bad reputations, block the roads, and harass them unscrupulously."
Wang Panpan's words were not meant to be scary. When she thought of these things, her face turned pale. Girls are naturally weak and must always protect themselves.
“Yes, you have to remember He Jianguo, he is always watching you, and he is not causing trouble now.
One reason is that the autumn harvest is too tiring.
Second, because we are always following you, he has no chance.
Unless you get rid of him completely, you will always be in danger in the village." Wen Yi is sober and can always see the twists and turns of things.
"Oh, this is so annoying. If I had such great power, I would have solved it long ago, but don't I have the power?
My parents told me not to act rashly, stay away from him, and not leave you.
Even if I wrote a letter and told He Jianguo what he had done, it would be useless. "Li Pingping's idea was simple, just to make He Jianguo feel bad, but she was restrained.
"Sister Pingping, do you really like Chengjia's brother? Do you think he is the right person, or is it because he is good-looking?
I don't think your uncle or aunt will marry you to a rural family, but if you go to the city, he will definitely bring his family with him. What should you do then? How should you choose?
Although He Jianguo is very troublesome, you can take it as a test. After all, people who love you will clear the obstacles for you. "Wang Panpan said indifferently.
Sure enough, it’s not that she thinks love is ridiculous, but love cannot last long if it is mixed with human interests.
She talked about the troubles she would encounter in the future. Li Pingping didn't know how to answer. She liked him, but she didn't think seriously about the distance between them.
"Okay, I'll be careful. Don't worry about it. What are you frowning for?
Eat quickly, or wash the dishes after eating, I want to see who is the slowest today." Li Pingping felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, so she tried to make people laugh.
The others all laughed and said nothing. After all, she had to figure this out, otherwise no matter how much they said, it would be useless.
The next day, they went to Niu's house.
It is said that after buying the groceries, Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu were extremely happy.
These vegetables cannot be eaten up every year, but they have to grow them. Otherwise, they will give them to relatives or feed them to cows. There is always a way out, but if they don’t grow them, they will have to eat up all the food.
Therefore, it is no surprise that we can now exchange money and tickets.
"Okay, Wen Zhiqing, let's keep this price." Aunt Niu gathered the family members together, quickly packed up the vegetables and sent them to their house.
Wen Yi did not refuse. The people she found were all generous and reasonable and would not be petty, so why not take the opportunity to get help?
"Sister Wenyi, are we going to pick the fruits together? They have taken all the tools, so we have to go with bare hands?" Wang Panpan was surprised that the Niu family had so many people and were so efficient that they didn't have to do anything with their hands at all.
"No, no, it's just a small matter. We'll be done soon. You guys sit here and play for a while."
Aunt Niu warmly entertained them and made them some brown sugar water. After hearing what Wang Panpan said, they refused. The educated youth had small arms and legs, and there was no man in charge at home. They just did it.
"Thank you, Aunt Niu. The water is so sweet. Come, kids, take these candies." Wang Panpan took out a handful of hard candies from his pocket and handed them to the children of the Niu family.
"Thank you sister."
"Be good."
For a moment, both children laughed happily.
Wen Yi looked at the person delivering the food and stayed to settle the bill. He spent 20 yuan in total and also received some tickets.
Aunt Niu originally wanted to keep them for dinner, but knowing they were in a hurry to go back to prepare the dishes, she did not stay long, but just kept the kindness in her heart.
After all, whose rotten vegetables can be exchanged for money or tickets?
"Sister Wen Yi, that should be enough. No need to buy more."
"Well, it's almost done. If there's still some left, we'll buy some more and stockpile fresh ones. And the ones in the fields are good and can be harvested." Wen Yi, you think it's enough. If Panpan hadn't said that she wanted to send it home, she wouldn't have bought so much.
There were nearly 2000 kilograms of cabbage, and even more other things. Fortunately, they had made plans in advance and asked Uncle Liu to help bring a dozen large and small jars.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to find a place to put it.
Next, I went to various houses to look for spices for pickling. I also went to the town, where I used a lot of sugar, salt, soy sauce, etc. These seasonings are the key to successful pickling.
In the following days, we all acted separately.
Wang Panpan wanted to pickle salted duck eggs, but duck eggs are not easy to buy now, and she can't go to town every day. After the last incident with the human traffickers, Uncle Fang told her to stay in the village and not to hang around.
I don't know if anyone knows that she is the one who started it all. Wang Panpan doesn't want to delve into it, she just did a good deed. The consequences don't matter.
So, the master knew about it and accompanied her. She walked happily and saw a reed bush. She rushed forward quickly. Yao Lingxi had some imagination. The apprentice was indeed limited. He walked and she ran, and their pace was the same.
In this jungle, Wang Panpan looks short and small, which makes people want to laugh.
"Master, what are you doing? Come quickly, there are so many duck eggs here, we are so lucky." Wang Panpan was surprised and started to act quickly.
"I'm coming, my ears are fine. I'm old now, and I like to look at the scenery around me. You pick it up first, and I'll take my time."
Yao Lingxi felt puzzled. Although Wang Panpan was now whiter and looked much prettier, she always seemed weak. How could she be so energetic?
The two began to pick up the dead ducks. If they were lucky, they could even catch a wild duck. Wang Panpan thought, it would be great to make a pot of duck soup to nourish the body.
"Master, don't talk. The ducks don't fly down. They must be scared by you." Wang Panpan pouted and muttered.
"Well, I'm just afraid that you can't hear me. Okay, Master won't say anything anymore." Yao Lingxi was also speechless. The child was happy to see these things, so shouldn't he be unhappy?
Really.
"Master, why don't we roast one and try it." Wang Panpan came up with an idea. She hadn't eaten roasted food for a long time. Fortunately, there was a chef today and she didn't have to do it. Besides, when she came, she wanted to have lunch outside.
"Okay, but without seasoning, the taste might be a little worse." Yao Lingxi agreed. He felt greedy when he talked about this.
"Ding ding ding ding, Master, you see I'm the smartest, I brought it." Wang Panpan took out some seasonings from her pocket. The homemade chili powder she made was very fragrant. She took it out from the space, but Yao Lingxi didn't know about it. She would definitely predict it in advance in the future.
The two of them shared the wild duck, their mouths drooling with satisfaction.
Talk about today's gains and go back.
Wang Panpan picked up quite a few, at least a few hundred, and put them into the space on purpose. She didn't want to carry so many.
But don't even think about harvesting wild duck eggs from this reed bed in the near future or this year, after all, she has almost harvested all of them.
Yao Lingxi also took a lot, even if he was slow, he still had 200. Wang Panpan asked him to take some back to eat, and also told him how to make salted duck eggs.
(Wash it first and expose it to the sun for more than an hour (more than an hour in summer and autumn, three to four hours in winter).
Add salt and water in a ratio of 1:5, cinnamon, bay leaves, star anise, and peppercorns in appropriate amounts, bring to a boil, turn to medium heat for three minutes, turn off the heat, and let it cool. Then pour in white wine, put the salted duck eggs in and seal them, and cook them after 30 days.
Today, Wang Panpan returned with a great harvest.
At first, the other three wanted to come, but they were all assigned tasks.
Li Pingping wanted to go to the town. After she made it clear last time, she wanted to part ways with He Jianguo and cut off all ties. But she needed her parents to support her, otherwise, He Jianguo, that mean man, would always have various reasons to refuse. Even though it was already like that, he was still justified.
Wen Yi has a mission. Whether he can live well this winter depends on whether he can buy seasonings and tools for pickling pickles. Anyway, he will not move until he is fully prepared.
In the next one or two days, the vegetables won’t rot as the weather gradually gets colder.
Ma Juan doesn't like to go out, she likes to stay at home, and today she went to the town to buy snacks. Her love for snacks is unimaginable, but fortunately her family is not short of money.
When we got back, everyone was very tired and went to bed early.
