Chapter 1612 Making Sour Beans (Part 2)
"I have time. Do you want to make pickled beans now?" Liu Ermei asked after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
"It'll have to wait a while. I haven't had breakfast yet. Wait until I finish breakfast before doing it."
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
After hearing what Liu Ermei said, Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, and then she said to Liu Ermei, "Can you help me cut the beans drying in the yard into small pieces?"
"Of course, I'll help you cut it now."
"Move the stool to the yard first. I'll get the cutting board and knife."
"good."
After Lu Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen and got a cutting board and knife, she put them on the stone table in the yard and said to Liu Ermei, "Second sister, sit at the stone table and cut the beans. Don't let the beans get wet when you're cutting them."
"I see. Go have breakfast."
"good."
More than ten minutes later, when Lu Xiaoxiao finished her breakfast and came to the yard, she saw that Liu Ermei had almost cut all the beans into cubes. She didn't expect Liu Ermei to be so fast.
"Second sister, you are very fast."
"I'm used to it. I have to cut grass for the pigs every morning. If I'm not quick, I'll be late for class."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Liu Ermei's words, she didn't know how to respond, so she told Liu Ermei that she would go into the house to get the jar and salt, and then she ran towards the main room.
After Lu Xiaoxiao entered the main room, she took out a clean main room and a bag of salt from the space. She poured the salt into a bowl, and then walked towards the yard holding the jar in one hand and the salt in the other.
When Liu Ermei saw Lu Xiaoxiao coming out of the main room, she stood up and said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, I have already cut all the beans."
"Thank you, second sister. Now let's start making pickled beans."
"good."
After Lu Xiaoxiao put the jar on the stone table, she put sour beans into the jar and said to Liu Ermei, "Second sister, it's actually very simple to make sour beans.
The first step is to wash the beans and dry them.
The second step is to cut the beans into dices.
The third step is to mix the beans and salt together and put them into the jar.
The last step is to seal the jar and place it in a cool place.
After a few days, the beans will turn sour, and you can eat them.”
After listening to Lu Xiaoxiao's words, Liu Ermei understood how to make sour beans. It was indeed as simple as Lu Xiaoxiao said. When she returned home later, she would also pick beans to make sour beans.
"Xiaoxiao, how do we eat the pickled beans after they're ready?" Liu Ermei asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
“You can eat it any way you want. The easiest way is to take it out and eat it directly. If you think it’s too sour, you can also stir-fry the sour beans with eggs or minced meat.
In short, pickled beans, like pickled cabbage, can be eaten in many ways, you can eat them however you want. "
After listening to Lu Xiaoxiao's words, Liu Ermei nodded, and then she said, "Xiaoxiao, I will go home now to pick beans to make sour beans. If they taste good, I will make more."
"good."
After Liu Ermei left, Lu Xiaoxiao moved a jar of pickled beans into the main room, and then she carried a basket to the backyard to pick the beans.
She planned to make another jar of sour beans so that she could stir-fry the sour beans with minced meat and send it to Zhang Xu in winter.
For someone like Zhang Xu who has little time to eat all day, stir-fried sour beans with minced meat is the most suitable dish for him, because it is delicious whether eaten with steamed buns or porridge.
