Seeing that apples and pears were added to the pickled vegetables, the two children of the Ye family were a little bit unbelievable.
Who puts fruit in pickles?
Although they didn't understand Xu Nanxing's actions, they were shocked!
Ye Beichen was born in the end of the world in his previous life. Most of the time, he ate canned food, biscuits, instant noodles and other easy-to-carry foods, so he had never eaten kimchi.
After traveling here, he also ate authentic Northeastern pickled sauerkraut, spicy radish and the like in the army.
Now seeing Xu Nanxing putting fruits and chili powder in the pickles, one sweet and the other spicy, these two completely different flavors mixed together, Ye Beichen really couldn't imagine what it tasted like!
Xu Nanxing on the side didn't say much. Anyway, they would know how it tasted after she finished marinating it!
Although Xiaoyu didn't know why Sister Nanxing put apples and pears in the pickles, but looking at the sweet fruits in them, Xiaoyu also felt that the pickles seemed to become sweet.
She immediately opened her big watery eyes and looked at her brother and uncle with anticipation, as if she wanted to try it too.
Xu Nanxing and the Ye family each pickled their own vegetables. The apples and pears used by Xu Nanxing were also picked by a few children in the mountains.
So after Xu Nanxing pickled kimchi, Xiaoyu also wanted to follow suit and pickle this kind of pickles with fruits!
Seeing Xiaoyu so excited, Ye Beichen did not object. They were indeed surprised to see that there were fruits among the ingredients prepared by Xu Nanxing, but when they saw that the kimchi pickled by Xu Nanxing looked okay, they agreed to follow Xu Nanxing's method and pickled a jar of kimchi.
In fact, the Korean ethnic group in Northeast China also pickles kimchi at home, but most of them are in the Yanbian area of Northeast China, which is a bit far from here, so many people here have never heard of kimchi, a Korean specialty food!
Anyway, when others asked what this was, Xu Nanxing would directly say that it was Korean kimchi.
Even Chen Jiaxin and Chen Xiuying came to see it out of curiosity, but they were pickling vegetables together, so they didn't dare to try pickling this kind of spicy cabbage that they had never heard of or seen before.
However, they are also curious about what this new type of pickled vegetable tastes like!
Except for the vegetables exchanged by the villagers, the remaining vegetables in the village have to be sold to the food company under the supply and marketing cooperative. The money from the sales will be distributed according to the work points of each person in the village at the end of the year.
In fact, the purchasing station that Zhang Luyao set up in the village could also purchase vegetables, but the vegetables could not be sold in the village, so he did not purchase them.
In the end, the village transported the vegetables to the food company in town to sell.
The autumn harvest took more than ten days to complete, and finally the dried grain had to be sent to the grain station. This was called paying the public grain tax!
Every village had to pay the full public grain tax for the harvested grain, and the remaining grain would be left as seed grain before it could be distributed to the villagers according to their work points.
Now it’s time to pay the public grain tax. Ye Beichen drove the tractor a few times to transport all the grain away, which saved the village a lot of trouble.
Moreover, the staff in charge of inspecting and accepting grain at the grain station were retired soldiers. Ye Beichen went to make friends with them, and finally the speed of inspecting and accepting grain in their village became much faster.
While other villages were still inspecting and accepting grain, their village had already paid the public grain tax.
After paying the public grain tax, the remaining grain was stored in the village granary and would be distributed in the twelfth lunar month.
However, because the physical energy consumed during the autumn harvest is too great, many families usually eat mostly liquid food. During the autumn harvest, they must eat dry food, otherwise their physical strength will not be able to keep up.
So after the autumn harvest, many families had almost eaten all their food. Although it was not time to distribute the food yet, the village still allowed those who were short of food to borrow food first, and then deduct the borrowed part when the food was distributed in the twelfth lunar month.
The Ye family has a lot of food. After all, they have the army food coupons sent back by Ye Beichen, so they can go directly to the grain station to buy food.
Besides, children don’t eat much, so the Ye family is not short of food.
Xu Nanxing and Zhang Luyao had enough food and didn't need to borrow any.
The educated youth at the educated youth site did not have enough food, so they followed the villagers to the granary to borrow food.
However, Chen Jiaxin came back angrily and said, "It's always like this. No matter what the matter is, we educated youth always have to queue behind the villagers. It was the same this time when we borrowed food. We had to wait until all the villagers had borrowed before it was our turn! And that's not all. I saw the villagers borrowed sorghum and corn kernels, but when they came to us, they could only borrow corn grits. It really made me so angry!"
Xu Nanxing was also helpless. They were all outsiders, and there was nothing they could do if the village wanted to do this.
Corn grits?
Xu Nanxing thought about the first day they went to the countryside, when they were given this thing. She only ate a few bites and couldn't eat anymore.
Although they were both food exchanged for work points, corn grits were indeed much inferior to other food. This was obviously a disadvantage, no wonder Chen Jia was so indignant.
But they are all outsiders to the village, and if they want to exclude you, there is nothing you can do!
Seeing Chen Jiaxin was so angry, Xu Nanxing had to comfort her, "Food will be distributed soon, so don't be angry! Doesn't Gu Zhiqing have channels to get food that doesn't require food coupons? If you don't want to eat these corn grits, why don't you ask him to help you get some other food? After all, you have the Zhiqing subsidy and a salary, isn't that much better than others?"
If this is the case with the educated youth here, I'm afraid they will be even more deducted in the back mountains!
