Chapter 156 Winter Vegetables



After watching the animals and picking up eggs from their nests, she went to the orchard with a pretty little basket in her hand. When she saw ripe fruits that she liked, she picked them and put them in the basket. After a walk around, the basket was full.

She carried a basket of fruit back to her duplex, washed the fruits by the sink, threw a few into the freezer, put the rest on a fruit plate, and took it to the study.

She didn't think about studying today. She opened the tablet she brought with her, watched funny variety shows and ate some fruit.

It was not until about eleven o'clock in the evening that she came out of the space and went to bed.

After the autumn harvest, the grain was distributed and the farm work in the village suddenly became much less. Now all we have to do is plow the land and plant winter wheat, but it won’t take long to finish.

Nowadays, many villagers are either preparing winter vegetables at home or going to the mountains to collect firewood to store for the winter.

Tong Yiya also had to start stockpiling vegetables for the winter. She had promised Fu Shinian and the others earlier that she would teach them how to stockpile vegetables for the winter.

So she was going to start pickling cabbage that day. She first chopped all the cabbages and put them in the yard to dry. At noon, she went next door and taught the two people to chop half of the cabbages. The rest would wait for a while, and when the weather started to get colder, she would chop them and put them in the kitchen. As long as the weather was not hot, the cabbages could be kept for a long time.

When it snows and freezes, the cabbage leaves will be frozen, but it will not affect their eating quality.

Tiantian looked at their cabbages, which were much smaller than those she grew, and knew that the two men had not applied any fertilizer.

Later, thinking that they were both from Beijing and were not used to watering with farm manure, I didn't say anything.

She asked the two of them to come over to her place in two days to learn how to pickle northern sauerkraut, and after writing down the things they needed, she returned to her home.

After Tong Yiya returned home, she started picking the remaining beans in the vegetable garden. She planned to make them into pickled sour beans like in her hometown. In the winter, she would chop them up and stir-fry them with lard. It would be a very delicious dish that goes well with rice.

As for the radishes in the field, she kept some for later use after the frost and then dug a hole to bury them. The rest were dug out now, washed, cut into strips, and dried.

Then there were the cabbages. Tong Yiya chopped them all, leaving only a few to eat fresh, and cut the rest and dried them. When they were about 60% to 70% dry, she kneaded them until cooked and squeezed out the water. She then put the cabbages into a jar. When she wanted to eat them, she just took them out and washed them briefly. They were delicious when stir-fried with anything.

In the past two years, she went to the mountains every day before winter, thinking of preparing more medicine, but she had never prepared so many winter vegetables. This year, she thought that since the medicinal herbs in the mountains had been almost dug up, the ones at home were almost enough, and if they were not enough, she would recommend Western medicine.

There were not many medicinal herbs left in the mountains, and the team leader had no way of urging her to go digging for them. He could only ask the villagers not to take large quantities of herbs home for future use as they did in previous years.

Tong Yiya's place became quite free at this time. Unless the villagers were too sick to get up, they would come to her for a checkup. For other minor illnesses and pains, they had medicine prepared at home and would boil the medicine and drink it at home, so there was no need to come to her for prescriptions.

Suddenly she was free, but Guard Dong and his partner went to the mountains to collect firewood, and from time to time they would bring two bundles to her house.

In fact, Tong Yiya wanted to refuse, because she usually went up the mountain to dig herbs, and she would bundle up the dry firewood she found and put it in the space. The firewood shed outside was also full all year round.

But after she refused, the two of them still delivered it as usual, saying that this was to make up for the amount they had used when they first came here to live together.

In the end, Tong Yiya couldn't refuse anymore, so she accepted it. Later, when she made pickles and dried vegetables, as long as the two of them didn't have them, Tong Yiya shared some of her own with them and also told them how to eat them.

Two days later, the vegetables in Tong Yiya's small vegetable garden had been almost picked. They were going to start pickling sauerkraut that day. She waited at home for the two men to come before starting to show them the steps. When they were pickling the vegetables, she went over to take a look. Seeing that there was no problem, she went home to continue picking up other vegetables in the garden.

There are still peppers and eggplants in the field, as well as a lot of tomatoes, both big and small. Tong Yiya picked them and made two flavors of tomato sauce like last year.

If you don’t want to eat spicy or overly spicy food in winter, you can add some tomato sauce to the stew. Because these tomato sauces are additive-free, the taste is sourer than modern tomato sauces.

Chili made two bottles of roasted pepper sauce, gave one to the two people next to him, and made the rest into white pepper.

After clearing most of the vegetable garden, she turned over half of it and planted some green onions and some side dishes that would be eaten in hot pot in winter.

Half a month had passed since everything was completed. The winter wheat in the village had been planted and the villagers began to get busy.

Tong Yiya also started to go out and join the firewood-collecting army, going to the mountains to collect firewood, but she was unwilling to go with the villagers.

Every time she would go deeper into the mountains, and if she found any good herbs, she would dig some, as well as some dry firewood.

More than a month passed like this, and the weather outside was getting colder. Tong Yiya wanted to go to the county before it snowed. She wanted to sell some of the goods in her space, otherwise there would be too many.

So she got up early that morning, packed up, took a bun from the space as breakfast, ate at home, and went out with a backpack.

When she arrived at the entrance of the village, she saw several aunts waiting for the ox cart there. She walked over too. When the people saw her, they greeted each other.

Tong Yiya stopped talking after she said hello. The aunts in the village had been with her for more than two years and knew her personality a little bit, so they didn't say anything.

Before they could wait for a while, the village old man who was driving a ox cart came out of the village and stopped in front of them. They all quickly got on the ox cart and found a place to sit down.

The old man waited for a while, and seeing that no one came, he drove the ox cart towards the commune.

More than an hour later, the ox cart arrived at the commune compound. The old man told them the time to go back. Tong Yiya paid the fare and hurried towards the streets of the town.

She first found a place to enter the space and change her clothes, then went to the bus station to take a bus to the county, and then found the black market where she had traded last time.

Then he directly stated at the door that he wanted to see their boss, and then quickly discussed the transaction time and quantity of goods. After Tong Yiya discussed with the boss of the black market, he left the black market first.

She went to the supply and marketing cooperative and used the bills in her space that were about to expire to buy some things. Then she went to the agreed transaction location, observed the surroundings, and after making sure that there was no one around, she took out the goods that had been prepared long ago from her space.
