After a few days, Yang Hang and his logistics team pulled a large truck of cabbage, potatoes, lettuce, and some vegetables that are easy to store in winter. These are also must-have dishes in winter here.
It was Xiao Sanzi who ran over to inform Chu Yao. Chu Yao quickly took the remaining money at home. Fortunately, the babies were sleeping at this time, so she didn't need to carry it. Chu Yao pushed the bicycle and took Xiao Sanzi with her to the logistics department.
After Chu Yao arrived, Mrs. Chen, several sisters-in-law who had come to eat at home before, and some family members Chu Yao did not know were all fighting fiercely for food.
Yes, Chu Yao didn’t see it wrong, and you didn’t hear it wrong, they were really snatching it.
Everyone started buying in batches of 100 kilograms or more, and Chu Yao felt that her chances of buying groceries this time were slim.
Chu Yao walked to the side of Mrs. Chen. There were already several hills of cabbages piled up at Mrs. Chen's feet, but Mrs. Chen was still grabbing other things.
Seeing Chu Yao coming over, he shouted to her, "Sister Yao, come quickly, come quickly, I grabbed more than ten pounds for you. When your Yang Hang gets off work, I'll carry it back."
"Mrs. Chen, you have a big family, so you should take it home yourself. I can still buy it next time."
"Hey, Miss Yao, you're still too young. Every time the logistics department sells vegetables at the end of autumn, everyone has to grab them. You'll have to grab them too when you get there. Take these cabbages first, and we'll grab some other ones together next time."
After hearing how earnest Mrs. Chen was, Chu Yao stopped refusing and joined the group of people scrambling for food.
In the evening, after Yang Hang got off work, he and Chen Dayou came directly to the logistics department. They wanted to help take back the vegetables that their family bought today.
Chu Yao's performance today was pretty good. In addition to the 50 kilograms of cabbage snatched by Mrs. Chen, Chu Yao also snatched 10 kilograms of white radishes. These were grown by everyone at home, and few people bought them, so Chu Yao was able to snatch them.
There are still two bags of potatoes, which are enough for the family to eat for a while. We can just buy more next time, or let Yang Hang have time to exchange some with people in the nearby village.
Chu Yao didn't get the others.
Cabbage and white radish were both priced at five cents per pound, and a bag of potatoes was fifty cents. It only cost me four dollars to buy all these vegetables.
Mrs. Chen's family bought twice as much as Chu Yao, so Yang Hang helped Mrs. Chen move first and then moved his own family.
After moving, Yang Hang and Chu Yao declined Mrs. Chen's offer of help and began to transport their own vegetables back home. Fortunately, the vegetables were bundled tightly and did not fall apart easily.
Yang Hang tied the cabbages and radishes to the back seat of the bicycle. Since there was no more room on the back seat, he had to put the potatoes on the front beam.
Yang Hang was pushing the bicycle in front, and Chu Yao was holding the cabbage in the back to prevent it from falling into potholes on the road.
The two walked carefully for more than ten minutes to cover the short distance.
By the time all the vegetables were unloaded, both of them were exhausted, but they were still thinking about the time when the baby woke up and cried uncontrollably because no one was around.
The two smiled at each other and walked towards the main house. Fortunately, the babies were still sleeping.
"Little lazy pig, get up, get up, you won't be able to sleep at night if you sleep any longer. Get up and ride the big horse with daddy."
When the babies heard their parents’ voices, they opened their hazy eyes, as if they were asking what needed waking them up.
Although Chu Yao is often overwhelmed by the cuteness of babies, she has no resistance to babies who have just woken up.
Seeing A Yao stretching out her evil hand, Yang Hang immediately took Er Bao and Xiao Bao away from Chu Yao's clutches, saying, "I'll take the babies to pee. They've been sleeping for so long, they must want to go to the bathroom now. A Yao, you hold Da Bao too, and we'll take them to the bathroom together."
Chu Yao had no choice but to give up, picked up Dabao resignedly, and went to the bathroom with Yang Hang.
Early the next morning, Chu Yao began to prepare for pickling the vegetables. There was not enough salt at home, so Chu Yao had to dry the vegetables first and wait for Yang Hang to rest before asking him to buy salt.
Chu Yao took out some cabbage and radish, dried them into dried cabbage and dried radish respectively, and then ate them as pickles with rice.
Chu Yao first removed the yellow leaves and cut off the roots. She then washed the cabbage, rinsing both the surface and the core to remove any impurities or sand. She then boiled a pot of water and blanched the washed cabbage until it was soft enough to penetrate a chopstick through the stem.
During this process, Chu Yao kept paying attention to the heat and the doneness of the cabbage. It should not be too soft or too hard, otherwise the taste would not be very good.
When the cabbage is almost cooked, that is, the leaves are slightly yellow, then take it out and put it in cold water to cool. After draining the water, you can dry it in the sun.
Generally, the cabbages are dried for three to five days. After they are completely dry, they are bundled and placed in a sealed large jar.
When you are ready to eat, just take out some, wash them and you can eat them. It is very simple and convenient.
Chu Yao will buy more cabbage next time. She also wants to make some spicy cabbage. Oh, and she also needs to buy chili peppers because she wants to make chili sauce.
Dried radish requires a little more effort. First, wash it with water, then cut it into long strips of your choice, put it into the prepared salt and basin and stir it. After stirring evenly, let it marinate for a while to make it easier to absorb the flavor.
After the radish has been pickled and has a slight flavor, start squeezing out the moisture from the radish. When enough moisture has been squeezed out, you can dry it in the sun.
Just like cabbage, it can be eaten after being dried for a few days. It tastes crispy and Chu Yao starts drooling just thinking about it.
By the time they finished all this, it was almost time, and Chu Yao was extremely tired.
Housework may seem simple, but it is indeed a waste of time. Hidden housework is still housework.
