Although there were many vegetables planted in the village, it only took three days for the whole village to finish planting them together.
The harvested cabbages were piled into two small hills directly on the threshing floor.
Cabbage is an indispensable food in Northeast China in winter. Every family will stock up a lot before winter. In addition to the food used for pickling sauerkraut, the rest is kept in the inner room to keep warm and can be stored for several months. It is one of the few vegetables that can be eaten in winter.
So every household grows vegetables. Of course, since each family has limited vegetable plots, if there is not enough, they will ask the villagers to buy from them. After the villagers have bought all the vegetables, the vegetables will be transported to the purchasing station, which can also be regarded as a source of income for the village.
Lu Xia and Jiang Junmo didn't have time to grow vegetables this year, so they bought a lot this time, more than 300 kilograms, and piled them in the yard.
Lu Xia and Jiang Junmo were both a little surprised when they saw this. They felt that they would not be able to finish eating all the cabbage every day in the winter.
But even with these, they already have the least stockpiled in the village.
Every other household in the village has stockpiled at least 500 to 600 kilograms, and the educated youth's site has stockpiled as much as 3,000 kilograms. If there was room for them, they would probably have stockpiled even more.
Lu Xia and Jiang Junmo looked at each other and decided to listen to everyone. After all, eating cabbage was better than having no vegetables at all. It was a pity that she couldn't take out the vegetables in her space to eat.
The two men divided 300 kilograms of cabbage into two parts, one was placed in the house to ensure that it would not be frozen, and the other was reserved for making sauerkraut.
...
...
Making sauerkraut is actually a technical job, and neither of them knew how to do it, so they went to the educated youth camp to help and took the opportunity to learn. After they came back, they figured out how to make it themselves and also soaked a large vat of it.
After the sauerkraut was pickled, Lu Xia went to the village alone to buy some other vegetables, then replaced them with those grown in his own space, and pickled another jar of pickles with Jiang Junmo.
This way they won’t have to worry about food in the winter.
By the time everything was done, the weather had become very cold. In the morning, when Lu Xia opened the door, he found that there was frost outside.
Jiang Junmo is afraid of the cold and rarely goes out in the capital at this time of year.
After marrying Lu Xia, his health improved a lot because she added spiritual spring water to the drinking water at home and they often used spiritual spring water to cook.
But after all, this was a disease he had suffered since birth, and it was impossible for it to heal so quickly, so he didn't dare to go out. So Lu Xia asked him to stay at home and avoid getting sick.
She planned to go to town to buy rice.
The two of them had previously eaten the fine grains that Lu Xia had brought out, and although they occasionally ate the coarse grains bought from the village, they ate very little.
It was really because the fine grains that Lu Xia brought out were so delicious that Jiang Junmo fell in love with them after eating them a few times. He could not swallow the coarse grains anymore, so he kept eating the fine grains.
But now that the fine grains were finished, Lu Xia couldn’t just take them out, so he planned to go out and “buy” some.
Jiang Junmo originally planned to go with them, but was rejected by Lu Xia.
"You're already in poor health, what if you get cold if you go out? It's not worth it. Besides, the bicycle is so small, if there are two of us on it, there will be no place to put the food."
After hearing this, Jiang Junmo could only give up the idea.
Then Lu Xia set off on his bicycle.
The weather has turned cold recently and people in the village no longer have to go to work, but the county organizes road construction at this time every year. It is not free work and you will be paid. Although it is very tiring, it is a rare opportunity to make money.
So almost every man in the village will go.
Several male educated youth also went to the educated youth site.
The rest of the people stayed at home during the winter and rarely went out.
So Lu Xia didn't meet anyone along the way when he rode his bike out.
