First, she taught the property staff how to use radish and cabbage to make pickles, sauerkraut, and kimchi. Different methods give people different tastes, so Xu Yin likes to make some of each. When she suggested it, everyone couldn't help but think of pickled fish and kimchi pot.
Sour radish and fat beef soup... Although the ingredients are limited now, and the ingredients are stored in the refrigerator and freezer, I dare not make them randomly, but for example, for New Year or birthday celebrations, I can always make a dish to eat, right? But they don’t know how to pickle it, Xu Yin
Do good things to the end and teach them step by step.
In addition, the vegetables in the Xu family’s backyard are also mature. In addition to radish and cabbage, which are indispensable for winter storage, Xu Yin also planted some cabbage and cowpeas. Cabbage is more resistant to storage. Turn on a humidifier in a cool cellar and leave it for a month or two.
It won't go bad. Of course, you can also make kimchi with carrot sticks, white radish sticks, garlic, and young ginger.
The cowpeas were not picked after they matured, and were specially kept as old cowpeas. They were blanched in salt water and exposed to the sun for three days. After drying, they were sealed and soaked until soft. The dried cowpea stew was particularly fragrant, and Xu Yin could eat two bowls of rice. Of course,
She also brewed a jar of pickled beans and served it with porridge and divine vegetables.
With so much work piled together, how can you not be busy?
After finally finishing his work, he could finally take a breather and was dragged to Villa No. 6 by Feng Shujin to attend the autumn harvest celebration banquet.
After three drinks, we talked about our plans for the new year.
"What are your plans for next year?" Feng Shujin asked her.
Xu Yin thought about it seriously and said, "The fields outside have almost been cleared, but I just don't know what the contracting law is now?"
"You want to take over?"
"I want to build a greenhouse and grow vegetables for all seasons." She has experience in this.
It’s really hard to have no green leafy vegetables in winter.
Although there is endless food in the system warehouse, there are other people at home, so you can't hide and cook for yourself, right?
"But the fields are not like a community. They say they have been cleaned up, but there are mutated animals popping up every three days, as well as mutated birds such as sparrows and crows, which are difficult to deal with." Song Haobin said, "Unless it is surrounded like a community,
Get up and build a big net over the vegetable base. But now that the brick and tile and cement factories have stopped working, where can we get so many building materials?"
"How about I go try?" Zhu Donglin adjusted his glasses.
Others looked at him inexplicably: "Lao Zhu, what are you talking about? Go and try it? What are you trying on? Do you know how to build walls or apply cement? But even if you know how, you don't have these materials."
Zhu Donglin glanced at his boss with a questioning look, and seeing that he had no intention of stopping him, he announced with a smile: "I have activated the earth element. If I can build walls, I should be able to build houses as well."
"..."
Everyone jumped up in surprise:
"Lao Zhu, is it true? You also have superpowers? When did it happen?"
"Quick, quick, quick! Go out and show your skills and show me what the earth-type superpowers are like."
Zhu Donglin was taken outside by them for a demonstration.
Seeing Secretary Zhu build a wall with just a wave of his hand, Xu Yin felt envious in her heart: With the earth power, would she not have to worry about infrastructure in the future?
She subconsciously touched Feng Shujin with her elbow: "Please lend me Secretary Zhu someday. I want to ask him to do a small favor."
Feng Shujin turned his head and glanced at her. For some reason, he felt a little sour in his heart: "You are never so polite when you use me."
"..."
Complaints are complaints, that afternoon, Feng Shujin asked Secretary Zhu to come to her home.
Xu Yin wanted him to help build a small attic in the corner of the backyard.
The ground was full of vegetables, and a doghouse was built for Niu Niu in another corner. There was really no room to put farm tools.
I originally thought about building a cabin on the apple tree, but the trunk of the apple tree was not strong enough and I was worried that it would not be able to bear the weight of the cabin.
While eating lunch, she saw Zhu Donglin releasing the earth power. She was moved. It would be great if she had this power. She could build whatever she wanted, how convenient it would be!
However, Zhu Donglin would do the same and stick to the neighbor next door. I believe he is still willing to help.
As a reward, Xu Yin prepared several vegetables and fruits grown by herself.
A few months ago, who would have thought that one day the vegetables and fruits in the fields would replace soft coins and become the hard currency for transactions.
It's really sad to think about it.
Although Zhu Donglin's power level is not very high, if a protective wall is built around the Oriental Imperial Garden, it may need to be done several times, because the power will be exhausted after using it.
But building a small tool room was no problem. In a short while, the attic was built according to Xu Yin's request, and a ladder could be used.
Xu Yin presented him with a pre-packed vegetable basket and sent him out.
"Not so polite!"
Zhu Donglin was so flattered that he hurriedly waved his hand and declined.
He heard from Mr. Song that Miss Xu was most likely his boss's favorite, and would be their future boss's wife. How could he ask for a thank you for doing things for the boss's wife?
Zhu Donglin ran away after finishing his work.
Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but praise: "What a warm-hearted young man."
Feng Shujin came in handsomely over the wall from the backyard: "Who are you praising?"
"Your Secretary Zhu."
"..."
Why do you feel so sour?
"What's wrong with Secretary Zhu?" He dusted off the wall dust on his trouser legs and asked as if nothing happened.
"You helped my family with some work, but you still refused to accept a thank you gift."
And a thank you gift?
Feng Shujin felt even more sad.
Follow Xu Yin and walk into the house: "It's just a piece of cake for him, so why give him something? I've helped you a lot, why didn't you give it to me?"
Xu Yin: "..."
makes sense.
But because you are Comrade Xiaojin! I treated you as one of my own without knowing it.
"Okay, okay, I'll make up for your thank you gift later."
Feng Shujin glanced at her, "Listen! Listen! With such a perfunctory tone, why don't you just give me a plate of dumplings as a thank you gift?"
Her big dog enjoys this treatment every day. He... forget it, some food is good.
The stuffing she mixed was obviously very ordinary leeks, eggs, cabbage, pork, or sauerkraut and bamboo shoot tips, but it tasted extremely delicious. No matter how he mixed it, his chef could not make the stuffing with the same taste.
If Xu Yin knew his inner slander, she would have smiled proudly: You think the mountain spring water in the world of cultivation is in vain!
However, what her family is eating today is not dumplings, but pot stickers, which are freshly fried cabbage and fresh meat pot stickers. It is paired with beef offal and vermicelli soup that is so fresh that it almost makes people bite off their tongues.
Beef offal is not a mess of beef offal, but beef tripe, beef tendon, and beef tendon meat, which have been braised in advance, making it refreshing and delicious.
The pot of beef offal and vermicelli was bubbling, and the freshly fried pot stickers were still steaming. Everyone sat around the table and chatted while eating.
"Lao He went to the meteorological station in the morning and collected some data. The weather will not be very good next time. Have you stocked up on coal and charcoal?" Feng Shujin took a sip of beef offal soup to warm his stomach and turned around.
