Chapter 101： Bamboo shoots

Gu Zheng was noncommittal about Gu Yao's affairs, and just let her talk as soon as she said she liked it, but Jiang Xiaoben had to let Qin Lingling watch it carefully.

He was not familiar with Jiang Xiaoben in his predecessors, as if he did not appear. If he did, it should be when his younger sister was young. He didn't know why he didn't appear later.

As for Gu Yao, as long as she can live well, the other party treats Gu Yao well. It doesn't matter if she is poor. As for Jiang Xiaoben's family, he knows it is pretty good.

However, it was precisely because the other party's family was good and their own family was more complicated, so Gu Zheng asked Qin Lingling to pay more attention at home.

It’s not that Gu Zheng has a prejudice against Jiang’s family, but it’s a very realistic thing in this society to get married and form a new family. You are poor and have a lot of family affairs. It is the word suitable.

Of course, in addition to Gu Yao's affairs, Gu Zheng also talked about the unit's family room, saying that they could officially move in by May at the latest.

Because the army’s family houses were built in batches, it was not possible to move everyone there in one go, but batch by batch. Gu Zheng said that he didn’t know which batch it was in, but the last batch would be. Moving in before May made Qin Lingling relieved.

What's more, Gu Zheng has now been promoted to become the second company commander of the Second Company, and Liu Yuanhui has been promoted to his position.

Gu Zheng asked her not to worry about money. He was promoted. Now in addition to two yuan more per month, other allowances and subsidies will also be increased. He basically doesn't need to spend much money in the army. This money is Qin Lingling and Qin Lingling. Gu Yao didn't do anything, there was enough to eat and drink.

Speaking of the last, Gu Zheng couldn't do without talking about Qin Lingling's things.

After reading these words, Qin Lingling blushed and heartbeat.

After reading the letter, she wrote another letter to Gu Zheng and waited to send it to him after February 2.

The third day happened to be the weekend. Qin Lingling was free and didn't need to go to class, so she went out on her bike. Gu Guoqiang and Gu Yao were very busy, busy with spring planting. Many, peanuts, corn, sweet potatoes, and now rice are all busy planting one by one. After planting, we need to weed again.

There are not so many herbicides in this era. Everyone is weeding by hand, and the whole brigade is very busy all day long.

And Qin Lingling's main job now is no longer the field at home. She needs to study, study hard, and keep as much knowledge in her mind as possible.

After a year, the people selling secretly in the town became much more relaxed than before.

When Qin Lingling went to buy tofu, the lady who sold tofu said that now the town is not so strict about this aspect, and her tofu is also easier to sell.

After returning from the town, Qin Lingling has gradually gained a better understanding of the current life. As time goes by, things that were not allowed to sell privately and affect the market order will gradually be eliminated, and then self-employed will gradually increase. .

Of course, in the first few years, many people still did not pay much attention to self-employed. One is because the situation is not clear, for fear that history will repeat itself, and the other is that the deep-rooted poor and lower middle peasants are the roots of the idea all of a sudden. Limit everyone.

It is precisely because of this that most of the first people who followed the reform and opening up to make a fortune were those who had the courage to move ahead.

She went all the way back and wondered, what else should she do when the time comes? In the past few years, gold has been everywhere, she should seize some chance.

Although Gu Zheng has always said that he can make money and she doesn’t need to worry about money, but the family is their own. Now they can only say that they can eat enough food for a while, but the food is still not good enough, she thinks You may not have the ability to buy something expensive.

When she got home, Qin Lingling was still thinking about making money. Gu Yao opened the door and entered without hearing a voice.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Qin Lingling was stunned for a moment before she returned to her senses, "Nothing." She glanced at the sky outside, it was still early, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"Well, our team is finished, so we came back early. Sister-in-law, what were you thinking about just now?"

Qin Lingling shook her head, and then asked Gu Yao, "Yaoyao, you said, what can be sold in our village for money?"

Gu Yao was stunned by her question, "Why did my sister-in-law suddenly ask about this? If you don't know it, I don't know."

Gu Yao has always followed in the footsteps of her sister-in-law. In her opinion, she doesn't even know if the sister-in-law doesn't know.

"Yeah, what can make money?"

Although it is said that after the reform and opening up, there is gold everywhere, but the people who really make money are only a few. Take the village as an example. There is nothing to sell in the fields and mountains up and down. Even if there are resources, there may not be channels.

Seeing her sadness, Gu Yao is even more sad than her.

But when Qin Lingling was up the mountain soon, she found something that made her suddenly think of what she could sell.

This thing can be seen everywhere, that is, bamboo shoots. According to the season, there are winter bamboo shoots, spring bamboo shoots and whip bamboo shoots. It is a good dish to use.

Bamboo shoots can be fried directly or marinated, which has many effects.

And there are many types of bamboo shoots that can be eaten, such as bitter bamboo, light bamboo, and moso bamboo. The bamboo shoots that grow out can be used as raw materials, especially the nan bamboo belonging to moso bamboo, which is the best delicacy among bamboo shoots.

She has a big tank at home. Last year, she made some spring bamboo shoots. Gu Yao liked it so much. Even Gu Guoqiang and Gu Chunhua had eaten a lot.

Because vinegar is not easy to spoil, soaking in vinegar can last a long time, so this time she plans to make more at one time. When there is no vegetable, she can also make good things for rice and porridge.

This time she went up the mountain to pick bamboo shoots, but it was purely for fried pork slices. Tomorrow is Qingming and the family will buy meat, so she plans to dig some spring bamboo shoots fried pork slices.

At this time of the year, there will be more and more spring bamboo shoots after the spring rains one after another.

Some people in this bamboo shoot village will dig and eat, but eat less, because if bamboo shoots are fried, they need more oil, or they are fried with meat, but whoever has so much meat can be fried, even with less bamboo shoots. People eat.

But Qin Lingling was different. The tender bamboo shoots she soaked were soft, and they were especially crispy when bitten. One pot was filled with chili, and the other was just soaked with vinegar and salt.

While digging bamboo shoots, Qin Lingling thought of making more bamboo shoots in large quantities, and then selling them to those shops as a dish to go with wine and food.

In the county town, there are many restaurants. The dishes are all based on the immediate fruits and vegetables. Unlike later generations, no matter what the season is, you can eat it whenever you want.

Like bamboo shoots, it is estimated that very few people will order them and cook them, but what if they are soaked? Maybe she can take her exclusive soaked sour bamboo shoots to the county to sell them. Although this thing cannot be used as a main dish, it has the advantage that it is easy to store and eat. Many people who eat porridge and noodles should know I like to add some of these in it.

...

When I got home, I peeled off my coat directly by the side of the ditch, then cut it into slices, and blanched it with boiling hot water. After it was softened, it was fished, then let cool, and then I started to prepare a special marinating tank. Put the bamboo shoots in pieces one by one, then add salt and sour vinegar.

On the top layer, put two more salt, close the lid, and seal it with water.

After ten and a half months of sealing in this way, the bamboo shoots made are considered sour.

But this is the easiest way to do it. It doesn't test too many skills, as long as you practice more and try more, you can still do it.

And she has to make another kind, hot and sour bamboo shoots.

This requires pickled peppers.

Pickled peppers are a bit more complicated. After planting a wild mountain pepper the year before last, she asked for a pepper outside and planted the pepper seeds in the field. However, within a year, there were three to five on the side of the vegetable field. This is a big pepper tree. Just picking red peppers last year, she picked a lot of red peppers. She dried them and sealed them in a jar. When they needed to be ground into chili powder, they took some out, and then the ground chili powder and other ingredients were added to it. Together, when the noodles are cooked, put a little on it. Gu Yao likes it.

Now the peppers are growing luxuriantly, and many peppers are turning red or still green.

She has made pickled peppers. In her world, everything is very convenient, what you want to eat, and what to do. Just search on the Internet and use various methods of making them. However, she bought pickled peppers for making them at that time. Soak chicken feet and eat.

She likes to eat chicken feet, but the pickled chicken feet bought outside are expensive and not hygienic. A catty of chicken feet is cheap. As long as she prepares these things, she can produce a lot more for 20 or 30 yuan. The only bad thing is that it is more troublesome and you can eat it as quickly as there is no ready-made one.

The soaked pickled peppers can not only make chicken feet, but also other vegetables like carob can also be marinated. The method is very simple. The safety and hygiene of self-made can be guaranteed, and the taste is also good.

The method of making pickled peppers is simple and very simple. The raw materials are well prepared, which is basically very convenient, but the raw materials are convenient but very particular. Only by blending the ingredients can we make pickled peppers with better taste.

Early the next morning, Qin Lingling went to the vegetable garden to pick the peppers back, because the pepper tree is not small, just picking it is a basket.

After bringing it back, it was cleaned and dried for one day, and the rest was left to prepare other ingredients.

The ingredients are mainly Daqu, such as shochu, and cinnamon, anise, star anise, and some people will add some **** and garlic.

Like cinnamon, it’s easy to find some, because there are many cinnamon trees in the village, and the cinnamon is the layer of cinnamon. Qin Lingling has already made some at home before, so there is no need to find another one. As for Daqu fennel, there are Star anise rock candy will be purchased separately.

Everything else is okay, but rock sugar is not easy to make, because rock sugar is more expensive. Rock sugar is a crystallization of granulated sugar. Sugar alone is not cheap. A pound of pork is as expensive as a pound of pork, let alone rock sugar. Fortunately, the amount of rock sugar is not too much, just to increase the crispness.

Because she had to go to class during the day, she could only go to the nearest supply and marketing agency after class to find it. Qin Lingling bought it back soon because it was not too expensive and scarce.

On the day of making pickled peppers, Gu Yao happened to be at home, watching her busy up and down, staring at her for an instant.

"Sister-in-law, what are you...what are you doing?"

"Make pickled peppers."

"Um?"

Qin Lingling turned her head and smiled triumphantly at her, "It's a good thing anyway."

To make hot and sour bamboo shoots, pickled pepper is the key. The kind she makes is ordinary sour bamboo shoots. The taste is not as delicious as hot and sour bamboo shoots. Of course, it is not that complicated.

After putting the seasoning in the water, put the drained Microsoft chili on top. On the top, Qin Lingling added two pieces of rock sugar.

Rock sugar helps make pickled peppers more crispy and delicious, so that the hot and sour bamboo shoots will be more delicious.

After these are done, there is another top priority, which is to close the lid and seal it with water so that it is airtight and filled with marinade.

After a week, you can open the lid, and even if the pickled peppers are soaked, the water that has been soaked in the pickled peppers is the most important thing. It is best to use for soaking sour bamboo shoots.

Of course, it's easy to say, but when it's really done, there are still a lot of processes. Qin Lingling has been busy for two or three days before finally sealing the pickled peppers.

After a week, her pickled peppers are finally ready.

When the lid was opened a week later, Qin Lingling was still a little worried, because she hadn't made pickled peppers for a long time, and this was the first time she had done it.

Unexpectedly, the pickled pepper and pickled pepper water after opening the lid are very good, and the taste is sour and refreshing.

For the prepared pickled peppers and pickled pepper water, Qin Lingling needs to make hot and sour bamboo shoots.

After trying that day, Qin Lingling directly took the hot and sour bamboo shoots that were marinating from another marinating tank and put them directly on the pickled pepper water to soak.

Gu Yao came in while Qin Lingling was closing the lid.

"Sister-in-law, is this pickled pepper?"

Gu Yao knew that her sister-in-law seemed to have been busy making bamboo shoots for a while.

Although many people in the village pickled pickled vegetables, but like bamboo shoots, no one in the village did it. They didn't even have beans or other cabbage. There was only one that was called pickled vegetables and directly fried mustard greens with a bitter taste.

Qin Lingling pointed to the tank in front of him, "Well, it will be used to soak sour bamboo shoots at that time."

Hearing the sour bamboo shoots, Gu Yao's tax deduction was almost gone.

She looked at the jar of marinating bamboo shoots with a greedy expression, and said, "Sister-in-law, how long will it take to soak this time?"

Qin Lingling calculated the time before saying: "It will be fine in a few days."

She just took a slice and tasted it, because it has been marinated for a week before, and the taste is not bad. This time, the pickled pepper water is added just to make the bamboo shoots taste better.

Although this can't compare with the taste of sour bamboo shoots bought directly from later generations, it is already very good.

I heard that Gu Yao would be able to eat it in a few days, and Gu Yao's saliva was about to drain, her eyes staring straight at the marinade.

"Okay, don't watch!" Qin Lingling pushed her out, "I can't eat it anymore. Tell me about the latest things!"

For the past week, Qin Lingling was mainly busy with her own affairs, studying, teaching, and making money. As for Gu Yao's affairs, she didn't have much energy to ask.

Gu Yao was pushed into the room by her and sat down. She didn't feel embarrassed to look at her sister-in-law, but asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you want to ask?"

"Just ask about you and Jiang Xiaoben."

Since Gu Yao agreed to talk about the subject, Jiang Xiaoben has not been running this way. Although they are dating on their own, Gu Yao is too weak in emotional terms, and she needs to follow up.

But Gu Yao, after talking for a long time, felt that there was nothing to say, so she said it was still the same.

"Jiang Xiaoben comes over to talk to me every day, and then brings me delicious and fun things, that's it."

After listening to Qin Lingling, although she felt a little ashamed, she didn't feel strange.

Gu Yao's character is like this, you don't need to expect Gu Yao to say anything? She was a little bit pitiful, Jiang Xiaoben, and she liked little girls like Gu Yao.

"By the way, have you met Jiang Xiaoben's parents?"

When Gu Yao heard this, she blushed and said hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, no, this matter is not urgent. I have said to Jiang Xiaoben, this matter is not urgent, and I don't know if I am talking to him for good or not. Okay, I told him not to say anything."

Of course Qin Lingling knew about this, "I know, I didn't mean this, I mean, you know Jiang Xiaoben's parents and met them, didn't you?"

Only then did Gu Yao understand what her sister-in-law asked. Nodded, "Well, I've seen him many times before when I went to his house to play with him."

"Well, what do you think of Jiang Xiaoben's parents? Is your attitude toward you okay?"
