After the first day of the Lunar New Year, every family was busy visiting relatives and entertaining guests. Lin Zhu had no relatives to go to. The New Year's gifts for Aunt Li's family and Wang Shudun's family had already been sent, and she was afraid that if she went to visit them for New Year's greetings, they would disturb them from entertaining their relatives.
I was a friend, so I played with Fu Dou'er at home. I wrapped six strings in red paper and gave it to Fu Dou'er as lucky money. I let him play for a while and then put it into a small box prepared for him.
Lin Zhu could not work with needlework before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so Lin Zhu asked Chang's mother to tell her about the customs of that era and what she had seen and heard in the capital. From Chang's mother's narrative, Lin Zhu had a rough idea of the dynasty she was living in now.
This is a country that has never appeared in the Chinese history that Lin Zhu is familiar with. It is called the Yuan Dynasty. Emperor Mu Qingyu worked hard to govern and expand the foundation established by the ancestor emperor Mu Cang, and made the country peaceful and peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the common people
Everyone praised him as a wise king. However, this country was very similar to China in history. The geographical location and climate conditions were very similar. Therefore, Lin Zhu always felt that the climate was the same as that of his hometown.
What makes Lin Zhu most incredible is that the men's reading here is also based on the Four Books and Five Classics. There are "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames" and "Thousand Character Classic" for children's enlightenment, but there is no "Young Learn Qionglin". This shows that
, this dynasty is after the Song Dynasty and before the Ming Dynasty. However, it has no influence on Lin Zhu no matter where she is. She only lives in a small mountain village now. What happens in the world has little to do with her. Anyway, it is a peaceful and prosperous era. Who will be the emperor?
it's the same.
But since the emperor is a wise king, what worries Lin Zhu most is how the court's laws are formulated and what the laws say about severing the relationship between father, daughter and mother. Now, although she has established a household on her own, she is afraid
In the future, when the so-called father or mother comes to her door and uses their status and filial piety to suppress her, making her unable to resist, and asking for things she doesn't want to do, then she will be a loser.
However, Chang’s mother is not very clear about legal matters, but based on her experience, she has never encountered a situation where a child who has been severed has been brought back. Maybe, but it will not be done openly.
Speak out. At this moment, Lin Zhu still doesn't know that the only two people who can prove her life experience, Manager Lin and Mrs. Wang, have already gone to drink Meng Po soup.
She also learned about some women's ways of doing things from Chang's mother. Lin Zhu could only sigh that her short-sighted fate had brought her to this world where imperial power was supreme and men were respected. Fortunately, she was far away from the imperial power.
Qianli, there is no man in the family who is regarded as a god. There is one who is still far away from becoming a man. When he grows up, whether he can become a god depends on how Lin Zhu educates him.
The more she listened to Chang's mother's story, the more depressed Lin Zhu became, and she simply stopped listening. She ran to the vegetable cellar to pick out cabbages. There were too many cabbages, and she and Chang's mother couldn't finish them all. They didn't know what method to use to get more cabbages.
After spending some time, she has missed the opportunity to pickle the sauerkraut. If she had pickled the cabbage when she first harvested it, she would have eaten it by now. But if she pickled the cabbage now, it would be the first month in a month, but in the past, sauerkraut was available all year round.
They are all edible. As long as they can be stored well and marinated less, you can eat them until March, and they won’t go bad by then.
After thinking about it, he went to Chang's mother to discuss, "Mother Chang, can we pickle some sauerkraut now? We always eat cabbage. After pickling, we can also change the taste." Chang's mother thought for a while, "Is that possible?
It's too late, it can only be pickled in a month, and it can be eaten for a month, and the weather will be warmer, and then the sauerkraut cannot be stored and will go bad."
"It's okay, just don't pickle it a little less. Anyway, it's just the two of us." Lin Zhu waved his hands and said nonchalantly. In this case, Chang's mother no longer objected. She also felt that it was okay to just sit around and Fu Dou'er was very good.
She is easy to coax and rarely cries. Besides, she can't do needlework, so she can do some things.
So the two selected a dozen cabbages in the vegetable cellar, washed them and set them aside. Lin Zhu found an unused vat from the kitchen, washed them, scalded them with boiling water, and dried them.
Use it. During this period, be careful not to get oil on it. Cut the cabbage in the middle, stack it layer by layer in the jar, and sprinkle a layer of salt on each layer of cabbage. After stacking, cover the cabbage with old cabbage leaves.
Then use a large stone that has been washed and sterilized with boiling water to press it on the cabbage. Finally, put water in the tank to submerge the cabbage, and then wait for natural fermentation for a month.
Although the kitchen is not cool enough to freeze, and it is placed at the door farthest from the stove, the temperature for pickling sauerkraut is just right. Lin Zhu also saw this, so he insisted on pickling sauerkraut.
When I think of the various delicacies based on sauerkraut after pickling the sauerkraut, such as sauerkraut fish, sauerkraut braised white meat, sauerkraut stewed big bones, sauerkraut stew, and the sauerkraut stuffed dumplings that Lin Zhubai never gets tired of eating, etc.
, Lin Zhu's saliva was drooling. That greedy look made people feel that Lin Zhu was still a nine-year-old child, which was very different from the little adult she usually behaved. Such Lin Zhu also made Chang's mother feel at ease.
.If Lin Zhu always behaves like an adult, not only Chang's mother, but also Aunt Li and Wang Shudun's family may think that she is a monster. Sometimes acting stupid and acting cute is Lin Zhu's way of survival.
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Zhu and Chang’s mother had nothing to do except do some housework and bring Fudou’er buns. Chang’s mother picked up needlework again and taught Lin Zhu. She found that Lin Zhu was very good at cooking.
She is proficient, often has some whimsical ideas, and the meals she makes are delicious, but she shrinks back when it comes to holding needles and threads, and is clumsy, often sticking needles into her hands, so she can be said to be the best in needlework skills.
The eight orifices are open to the seven orifices - she knows nothing, and she has no sense of wisdom at all in this.
However, for the sake of her future, Chang’s mother still taught her from the beginning bit by bit. Lin Zhu also knew what Chang’s mother wanted, so he forced himself to follow suit. He didn’t ask for more details, as long as he could sew socks and cut clothes by himself.
The embroidery and the like can be seen as far away as possible. Lin Zhu doesn't want his hands to become sieves.
After the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Aunt Li's relatives had finished leaving, the guests had been entertained, and the cabbage prepared for her eldest daughter-in-law Liu Qiucui had also been eaten. Seeing that she was vomiting after eating, Aunt Li had no choice but to find Lin.
Zhu came to look for some cabbage.
"Xiao Zhu, do you still have that kind of cabbage?" Aunt Li exchanged greetings with Lin Zhu and Chang's mother for the New Year, and then asked Lin Zhu how he was doing these days and whether Fu Dou'er was doing well, etc. before entering.
For this purpose. Seeing Lin Zhu's questioning look, Aunt Li told her that Liu Qiucui only ate this kind of cabbage and could not eat anything else, "Oh, there is really no way. Mother Chang, you said, we are all pregnant."
Although being pregnant can be harmful to your mouth, it's not like my eldest daughter-in-law. She can't eat anything, vomits, and her face has become sunken in the past few days." Aunt Li sighed and shook her head, "First time.
Neither of them dared to let her go back to her parents' home because they were afraid that she wouldn't be able to eat well there."
"Auntie, there are some at home, you can just take them. Sister-in-law's health is more important." Lin Zhu could understand her current mood. Neither of them noticed that Chang's mother heard the words "We have all been pregnant."
That fleeting dark expression.
The vegetables are all in the vegetable cellar. In order to pickle sauerkraut a few days ago, Lin Zhu specially exchanged some cabbages stored in the space with the ordinary cabbages in the vegetable cellar. Now the cabbages in the vegetable cellar are all improved quality cabbages.
, but in order to reassure Aunt Li, Lin Zhu asked her to take the smaller part of the pile. Although it was small, there were still more than twenty trees, so Lin Zhu gave Aunt Li fifteen trees, but she couldn't take any of them.
Let's go, and promised to bring Lin Hongwen over later to get it together. Aunt Li wanted to give Lin Zhu some money for cooking, but Lin Zhu refused. Even though the quality of her cabbage was unusual, cabbage was not popular in farmers.
What's it worth? It's just that Liu Qiucui can't eat anything else and only looks for this kind of food in her family. She can't take advantage of it and raise the price, not to mention the relationship between the two families is very good. So Aunt Li took her eldest son with a smile
Get the cabbage away.
"Why is Mother Chang looking at me like this?" After seeing off Aunt Li and her son, Lin Zhu returned to the house. Seeing Mother Chang's slightly scrutinizing eyes, she asked. "Don't you feel like you're at a disadvantage, girl?" Mother Chang's question
His tone unconsciously took on a tone of respect. "What kind of loss is this? It's just a few cabbages, not worth much money." Lin Zhu smiled and said nonchalantly.
"Girl, what are you saying?" Chang's mother paused and looked at Lin Zhu. Lin Zhu motioned her to continue, "Money is nothing, but this favor, although small, is worth much more than money." Chang's mother is worthy of being in a big house.
The people who have lived in the courtyard are so thorough in what they say. Lin Zhu feels that he is far behind these ancient people. Aunt Li can understand what Chang’s mother can see at a glance. She has never thought of it.
They have already thought of the place ahead.
"Thank you, Mother Chang, for reminding me." Lin Zhu didn't want to delve into this sentence, she just understood it in her heart. Mother Chang naturally understood what she meant, so she didn't say any more. The two of them just understood each other tacitly. They both looked up to each other more highly.
Hei Dou'er's cry attracted their attention. They walked quickly into the house and found Fu Dou'er crying. They washed their hands and quickly went to the kang to see him. Chang's mother quickly unwrapped Fu Dou'er.
She put on the quilt and found that he wet his diaper and cried because his butt was uncomfortable. He quickly changed the diaper, held Fu Dou'er in his arms for a while, and then put it down after he was coaxed. Chang's mother then put the diaper down.
The wet diaper was taken off and washed, while Lin Zhugang was playing with Fu Dou'er on the kang.
Then she saw Heidou'er wagging its tail underground. Lin Zhu raised her hand and extended her thumb to praise it, "Hei Dou'er, good job, you did a great job!" "Wow." Her praise also received a response from Heidou'er,
Lin Zhu sometimes thinks that Hei Dou'er is sometimes not as smart as a dog. Is it really like what I have seen in books, that a dog's IQ is the same as that of a two or three-year-old child? Every time Lin Zhu teaches Hei Dou'er an instruction, as long as
It can remember it even if you say it five or six times. It seems that I am very lucky to have picked up such a smart dog. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation.
