She has learned a lot of dishes from Song Tangcheng in the past few days, even the pickled radish that she had always wanted to make. However, this was made by herself. Song Tanglan had seen the whole process of pickling pickled radish on a video website in her previous life.
There happened to be a jar available in the kitchen, and they had nothing to do these days, so they decided to give it a try.
Afraid that it would not suit their appetite, they only made a few pounds the first time. When they found that the taste was good, they decided to make more later.
My second sister also liked it very much, so she decided to soak all the radishes she bought into sour radishes.
After it was ready, I gave some to Aunt Li and Su Tao to try. They thought it was pretty good. It was sour and spicy, and very appetizing.
So Aunt Li's family and Su Tao also soaked a lot, but they only soaked a few kilograms, not as exaggerated as Song Tanglan, who directly soaked 30 kilograms.
In addition, Song Tangcheng also used a lot of cabbage to make spicy cabbage, but this year the spiciness was moderate, not as spicy as in previous years.
Five days passed in a flash. It was snowing yesterday, but it suddenly turned sunny today. The sun rose high in the sky, and the temperature around it also warmed up a little as the sun rose.
The one who went to pick up the new educated youth today was Cheng Fangzheng. Cheng Fangyuan was not available to take on this job this time as he needed to grind some new wheat for steaming buns.
To this end, I got up early in the morning to clean the stone mill in the yard and prepare to use it to grind wheat and cornmeal.
They had already chopped a lot of corn to pass the time during the few days when it snowed. Since Song Tanglan was not used to grinding corn cobs and corn into cornmeal, it took some effort this year.
Fortunately, there is a stone mill at home, so there is no need to queue up with the team. Sun Jianhua must have also considered that all the grain at home has not been ground, so he came to borrow the stone mill early in the morning.
However, seeing Cheng Fangyuan grinding wheat and corn there, he just waited quietly by the side.
"Brother Yuan, I heard that some educated youth are coming today? Aren't you going to pick them up this time?"
"I'm grinding wheat today, so I don't have time to pick them up. My eldest brother went to pick them up today. I don't know what these educated youth were thinking. Going to the countryside in the middle of winter, if it hadn't stopped snowing, they might have stayed in the commune for a few days!"
Cheng Fangyuan pushed the millstone very easily, and at this time he did not forget to reply to Sun Jianhua's words.
Yu He also asked curiously, "I wonder how many people there are in this group."
"I don't know. The commune didn't say."
Cheng Fangyuan finished grinding the food he would be eating recently, looked at the food they had brought, and said with some surprise.
"I didn't expect that you two grown men wouldn't eat corn cobs either."
"Brother Yuan, don't you think cornmeal with corncobs is really irritating to the throat? We've never eaten it like this in the city. Besides, we have a female educated youth to share our food with! She doesn't like it, and neither do we, so we didn't take it. It's good to use as firewood."
"Hahaha, my little sister doesn't like it either, so we didn't take it either. But if outsiders knew about this, they would definitely point at our noses and call us ungrateful."
Cheng Fangyuan didn't have any requirements for food, as long as it could fill his stomach. As for whether it would sore his throat, that was not something he considered.
However, seeing that his wife and younger sister were not used to the food, he respected their opinions.
"It's okay. We're not going to the mill in the brigade. No one will see us wasting money."
"If you want to go there and grind, you can only do it when no one is around, otherwise you will become the focus again. By the way, do you know how to use it? I don't need to teach you!"
Cheng Fangyuan packed his own grain, cleared the millstone, and looked at the two brothers as if he were watching a show.
Since Sun Jianhua got to know Cheng Fangyuan, he found that his temper was not that cold. He just didn't like to communicate much. Sometimes he would talk a little more when the conversation got exciting. "I can use it. I just saw you use it. I can do it too."
"Okay, I'll leave the millstone to you. Please don't tear it down. I need to go back and knead the dough."
Cheng Fangyuan thought of the cabbage and lean meat dumplings that the two little sisters had been talking about recently, and the lovely appearance of his wife, and shook his head helplessly.
Ever since my younger sister went to the countryside, my wife's temper has been brought out by her. Although she is still as gentle as before, she will occasionally act coquettishly and throw a tantrum.
In addition, she is pregnant, so her mood swings are too obvious, and she sometimes acts unreasonably. Seeing such a lively daughter-in-law, how could Cheng Fangyuan not satisfy their needs?
He got up early in the morning to grind flour. Thinking of how sleepy his wife was, she might still be sleeping now.
Cheng Fangyuan put his things away, tiptoed back to the room and found that Song Tangcheng was still sleeping. In order not to wake her up, he did not go near her.
Instead, he went to the kitchen to knead the dough and chop the stuffing. Fortunately, he still had two pounds of meat he bought last time that he hadn't eaten yet. It was frozen in the cellar and now it had just thawed, so he used it to chop the stuffing.
He deliberately made more this time, intending to include both buns and dumplings. Last time, Song Tanglan made a cabinet full of buns and steamed buns, but they were all eaten up, so now it was just the right time to make up for it.
In order to reduce the noise of chopping stuffing, he even closed the doors and windows tightly.
When Song Tanglan woke up from her sleep, dressed and walked out of the yard, she saw Sun Jianhua and the other man. She was stunned for a moment, thinking that she was sleepwalking, and rubbed her eyes.
