After deciding on someone to cook, a few people took a quick look around the adobe house and finally finalized the details of building the house. They didn't leave until it got dark.
At night, in the Lin family's main hall.
"Watch carefully, I will teach you how to pickle sauerkraut, especially big brother. You will have to lead the others to pickle together in the future, so you must learn it."
Lin Mo shook the mustard greens on his hands as he spoke, cleaned out the old rice jar at home, took out some flour and salt, and began to knead the mustard greens.
After waiting for a while, I put the mustard greens into boiling water, and finally waited for it to cool down before carefully putting it in a jar and sealing it.
"This rice flour is made from the sweetest refined rice. Adding some pickles will make the sauerkraut crispier and have a subtle sweetness. The dishes will taste much better when cooked."
Lin Mo washed his hands and continued to say to Lin Sheng, "Tomorrow you will arrange for some of them to wash the vegetables, some to pickle them, and some to blanch and can them."
"Okay, then how much flour and salt is appropriate?" Su Mu, who had been standing aside, suddenly asked. He had never seen such a way of pickling vegetables.
Lin Mo was surprised that Su Mu's question hit the nail on the head. He smiled and said, "It can't be too much or too little."
Afterwards, Lin Mo roughly explained the proportions to them and made a careful comparison. He only continued to give other instructions after they all understood.
"Xiao Wu, remember to prepare some jars tomorrow and have someone move everything out of the cellar. Then put the pickled cabbage in them."
The cellar at home is very small, probably just enough to store all this sauerkraut.
With Lin Mo's hands-on guidance, Lin Sheng and his friends tried to pickle the vegetables a few more times. Following Lin Mo's process, they quickly mastered the proportions and got the hang of it.
The next day.
As soon as the sun rose, Lin Mo pulled Lin Wen and Lin Wu up early for a morning run around the fenced yard. The whole family was in poor health, so exercising every morning was a must.
After exercising, the porridge he had placed on the stove in advance was ready.
After washing up, I woke everyone up to eat. Since everyone had a task, the whole family was full of energy.
The ox cart was to be left for Lin Wu. Lin Mo and Su Mu waited for the village chief at the village entrance, and then took Uncle Xu's ox cart to the town.
When they arrived in the town, Lin Mo generously treated the village chief to a meal in a restaurant and found an inn for them to rest.
The ox cart was shaking violently, and Su Mu's wounds, which had just scabbed over, were torn open again along the way, and several wounds began to bleed.
It was a bit shocking to watch, but the little guy just gritted his teeth and said nothing. If he hadn't been keeping an eye on him, the tear would have been even more serious.
After resting for one night in the town, Lin Mo found a padded carriage the next day, and the three of them continued to the county.
In order to save time, we changed boats twice and never stopped to rest. We finally arrived at the county on the third night.
Lin Mo couldn't help but miss the developed transportation in his previous life. Back then, this distance would have only taken a few hours.
Maolin Village is a small village under Qingshui Town, and the county town that governs Qingshui Town is called Angui County. Because it is close to a big river, the ferry and port are relatively well developed. It is considered to be one of the best developed counties in the surrounding area, and it has a leading position.
After sleeping for a night in the county, the three of them went to the place where the yamen officials were responsible for transferring the slave registration early the next morning. After they had handled all the matters, they had the energy to stroll around Angui County.
Looking at the bustling and intertwined streets of Angui County, Lin Mo took a rare close look. He was just passing by here when he was doing business. He stayed for less than a day and left by boat.
Compared with the provincial capital, Angui County looks inferior and not as prosperous, but it is much more prosperous than Qingshui Town. The crisscrossing streets are all built with blue bricks and stone tiles, and the clothes of the pedestrians passing by are rarely patched.
The three of them stood on the main street of Angui County. At this time, the street was bustling with people, and the hawking of vendors and foot traders was endless.
It took the whole morning to change Su Mu's slave status and transfer the land. It was noon now, the sun was high in the sky, and it was scorching hot. The three of them felt a little dizzy.
"Uncle Liu and I have worked hard on this trip. We've been busy all morning and haven't eaten anything. Let's find a restaurant and I'll treat you to a good meal."
Lin Mo spoke, his eyes wandering around the various restaurants in the town. Not seeing any branch of Xinrui Restaurant, he continued, "Uncle, I only passed by this county on my business trip, so I'm not familiar with it. Do you know any restaurants with good food?"
Village Chief Liu pointed to a random restaurant with an embarrassed look on his face. "This one, there are many people eating here, so it must be delicious."
Although he was the village chief and came to the county many times, he had never eaten in a county restaurant. Although he was the village chief, he did not have much money.
The expenses at home are high, so when I go out, I always bring steamed buns and corn bread from home. If I am really hungry, I can only eat a bowl of noodles at a roadside stall, and I dare not even think about going to a restaurant.
Lin Mo's eyes darkened, but he didn't point it out. He said loudly, "Then let's eat at this restaurant. After we finish eating, let's go shopping. Angui County is much more lively and prosperous than our Qingshui Town. There are many things here that I have never seen before. Let's go shopping later!"
Hearing this, the village chief inexplicably felt a surge of pride. He raised his chin and said excitedly, "That's right! It's no exaggeration to say that our Angui County is the best developed among the nearby counties. I always take a good look around every time I come here.
It's prosperous, but the prices are a bit higher than in Qingshui Town. If you want to buy ordinary things, it's more cost-effective to go to the town."
Hearing this, Su Mu subconsciously glanced at the street, then quickly retracted his gaze and whispered, "Let's go back to town after we finish eating. You can go to town to buy anything you want. The prices in the county are high, and it's not convenient for us to bring anything back."
