Chapter 46 Pickled Cabbage



Xu Ning heard about Lin Miao's accident when he went up the mountain to chop firewood in the afternoon.

Wei Lanlan and Yang Xiaomei said as they chopped wood with her,

"Xu Zhiqing, you must keep an eye on your bicycle when you ride it into the city. Today, Lin Miao rode her newly bought bicycle into the city, and it was stolen.

Gu Wenping said to take her to the police, but she said she had already reported it and didn’t know if they could find it.

Xu Ning thought about the black market that was in chaos when he passed by it in the morning. He was probably in too much of a hurry to run and didn't pay attention to his bicycle, so someone took it away.

When I read the book, it didn't seem to mention that Lin Miao had such an incident.

The black market is really not a good place to go. Lin Miao is still the heroine in the book. Although the heroine's halo allowed her to escape,

But she still lost a bicycle, not to mention a small cannon fodder like her. She should just stay quiet now.

There will be plenty of opportunities to make money after the reform and opening up, and now she just wants to protect her family.

Xu Ning said to the two people nonchalantly, "Don't worry, my bicycle is my lifeblood. I never let it out of my sight wherever I go. If anyone steals my bicycle, I will fight him to the death."

Wei Lanlan rolled her eyes at her and said, "Then you better take good care of your life."

In the Youth House, Lin Miao was lying on the bed, unable to speak, thinking about the thrilling scene in the black market. She was almost caught. Fortunately, she ran fast, but she didn't have time to ride the bicycle.

I don't know who took it away during the chaos. She bought this bicycle after selling a lot of things in her space. Her space is a live broadcast room, which is full of samples given by suppliers before she traveled through time. There are not many of each.

She didn't dare report to the police and say her bicycle was lost, otherwise how could she explain how her bicycle appeared on the black market.

The family she traveled to was of average condition. They used to send her a few dollars every month, but this year they only sent her once every two months.

Thinking of the 30 yuan and tickets Xu Ning received every month, I couldn't help but feel jealous.

There are still seven years before the college entrance examination. If I had known, I would not have bought that bicycle. I could have saved the money and improved my life in the next few years.

She comforted herself in her heart that there were still some things in the space, and if she spent them frugally in the next few years, it would be enough to make it through until the college entrance examination was resumed, and then her chance would come.

When Xu Ning and his companions were carrying firewood down the mountain, they met Old Chen, who was carrying a large water tank on his ox cart and heading to the cowshed.

Grandpa Qi probably asked Old Chen to help buy it in the city. A lot of cabbages were planted in the backyard of the cowshed this year, and the small jars we used before were not enough.

Her mother and Aunt Lu suggested buying a bigger one, so Grandpa Qi told Old Chen, who came to drive the ox cart in the morning, to bring one back from the city.

Wei Lanlan asked Xu Ning, who was walking in front, "When will you cut the cabbages in your private plot?"

"I won't be going up the mountain tomorrow. I plan to chop cabbage and pickle sauerkraut at home. Do you two want to make sauerkraut?"

Wei Lanlan said, "We don't know how to pickle sauerkraut. Tomorrow we'll help you chop the cabbage, and the day after tomorrow you'll help us pickle sauerkraut, okay?"

"Sure! But have you bought the tank? If not, just tell Old Chen and ask him to bring one to you tomorrow. Just give him 10 cents for the shipping fee," Xu Ning reminded the two.

The two slapped their thighs and said, "We haven't bought it yet," and then went to the cowshed to find Old Chen.

Seeing the two carrying firewood back, Xu Ning hurriedly shouted, "You two should carry the firewood back first and wait at the entrance of the Youth Farm. Old Chen will go back to the village later and don't pass by the Youth Farm!"

Seeing the two men coming back with firewood and laughing, Xu Ning rolled his eyes at them and went home.

After the three siblings had dinner, Xu An was doing homework at home, while Xu Ning took Xu Mo to the cowshed.

Aunt Lu said that her pickled cabbage was not as delicious as Xu Ning's, so she asked Xu Ning to go and talk to them about how to pickle it in the evening.

When the siblings arrived, her parents and Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu had already washed the cabbage and the jar.

Xu Ning was on the side directing the others on how to marinate the fish, and after they were done, they pressed the fish with stones.

Seeing that she was talking very clearly, Xu Ma asked her, "Ningning, who did you learn how to make pickled cabbage from? We have never made pickled cabbage at home before."

Xu Ning had expected her mother to ask, so she answered, "I learned it from Aunt Dashuan in the village.

The pickled cabbage she made was famous in the village for its delicious taste. Every year, people would ask her to help pickle cabbage. She also taught me how to pickle cucumbers.

Xu Ning was not lying. She had indeed asked Aunt Dashuan for advice when she was pickling sauerkraut last year.

Grandpa Qi also said, "Da Shuan's wife's family is famous for pickled cabbage in the surrounding villages.

Back then, many people came to her house to propose marriage, and Dashuan stood out because he was handsome, down-to-earth and capable. ”

Seventh Grandpa was also very frank when talking about the gossip about the younger generations. Xu Ning listened with great interest until Xu Mo yawned continuously. Xu Ning went back with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

When Xu Ning was chopping cabbage, not only Wei Lanlan and Yang Xiaomei came,

Chen Xiangdong and Sun Hao also came to help, and Ge Hongbin went to the city to buy a tank.

Several people planned to learn how to pickle sauerkraut from Xu Ning. Chen Xiangdong and the other two planted the same crops as Xu Ning, including cabbage, radish, and green onions.

When Xu Ning watered, they also watered. When Xu Ning weeded, they also weeded. They just followed behind and learned.

Just yesterday, I heard that Wei Lanlan and Yang Xiaomei asked Old Chen to teach them how to pickle sauerkraut in a jar, so the three of them decided to buy a jar and learn how to pickle sauerkraut from Xu Ning.

With the help of several people, the cabbages in the field were cut in no time.

Xu Ning demonstrated to them the process of pickling sauerkraut, how much salt to use for the appropriate amount of vegetable, and what to pay attention to after pickling.

A few people were a little confused and worried that the cabbage would be wasted if it was not pickled properly, so they asked Xu Ning to help direct the scene tomorrow. Xu Ning agreed.

After Xu Ning finished pickling the sauerkraut, he went back into the mountains to chop wood for a few days. But he decided not to chop any more wood because the woodshed was full.

There is also a large pile of them in the private plot in front, enough for use in the winter.

Xu Ning came back from outside carrying two buckets of water and saw Xu An and Xu Mo taking pine nuts out of the pine cones. They had already taken two large bags of pine nuts in the past few days.

Xu An saw Xu Ning coming back from diving and said, "Sister, when are you going to the city? Send some to Brother and Brother Lu."

Xu Mo also nodded and said, "Sister, send them more. We have so much and we can't finish it.

Mom and Aunt Lu also picked up a lot, and asked me to carry some back a few days ago."

Xu Ning nodded and said, "I will go tomorrow. If you want to write a letter, go and write it now.

Xiao An went to ask his parents and Uncle Lu if Aunt Lu had anything to tell them. ”

Xu Ning plans to bring some food to the old couple tomorrow, along with the 20 sheets he promised Su Hongying.

After dinner, Xu Ning took out the two pockets he had sewn a few days ago. One pocket was filled with hazelnuts, pine nuts, dried mushrooms, dried black fungus, and dried wild vegetables. This one was for Lu Xiaotang.

Dried black fungus and dried wild vegetables were sent by Aunt Lu to Aunt Lu Xiaotang. They are in the same military district.

Xu Yang sent hazelnuts and pine nuts. He ate in the cafeteria and didn't cook, so he couldn't cook the dried vegetables even if they were sent to him.

Lu Xiaoran's will be sent to her in two days. The shoes that Aunt Lu made for her are almost finished.
