After more than half a month of busyness, the calculation of rice transplanting in the village has been completed, and busy people can stop and take a break.

That night, Chen's mother made dinner by the stove and cooked a pot with a stream. She first boiled some hot water. Chen's mother went upstairs to take two small bacon with wide, fat, thin and thin, washed it with hot water, cut it into small square slices about 2 cm in size, took a large bowl to pick up the bowl of sauerkraut, and stir-fry it and cook noodles.

He smoked a pair of clean chopsticks, took the big sea bowl, lifted the wooden lid on the pottery jar that contained sauerkraut, put the chopsticks in, and said to himself: "Oh, sauerkraut is nothing. It's been a long time (when) to pick up orders and make sauerkraut."

After saying that, I thought about it, "There is nothing to be busy tomorrow. Xiaoxi, we will go and tease tomorrow. I got it back and I can get some pickled vegetables early. We rural people cannot lack this."

After saying that, Chen's mother quickly took out a large bowl of sauerkraut, and then covered the lid on the jar.

Scoop the hot water in the pot, and when it is heated, pour in a little rapeseed oil (at Xiaoxi and the others, only two kinds of oils, one is the lard made from pork oil I bought), add the homemade chili sauce, ginger and garlic, stir-fry with the cut bacon, and start stir-frying the oil. After the bacon oil is almost dry, pour in the sauerkraut and stir-fry, add salt, pepper noodles, chicken essence and MSG, stew it in the sour water in the sauerkraut for about three minutes and then pick it up.

Leave a little sauerkraut in the pot, add appropriate water, and cover the pot.

Chen’s mother put the fried sauerkraut in the cupboard. Generally speaking, stir-fried sauerkraut with porridge is a perfect match, and the noodles are also super delicious.

After the water in the pot boiled, Chen's mother took out a handful of two-bit noodles from the cupboard (the noodles were divided into thin noodles, two-bit noodles and wide noodles), and put the noodles according to each person's needs, put them in oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and cooked them for a while, and asked Xiaoxi to shout Chen Yubin who was playing outside:

"Xiaoxi, I'm asking your brother to come back for dinner."

After hearing my daughter's promise, I took out a bowl from the cupboard to serve noodles, scoop it and then served it on the table. Wash the pot, take the charcoal at the bottom of the pot, cook hot water in the pot, and wash it later. After the family sat on the table, they started having supper.

The Chen family split up the family just after Chen’s father got married. After the family was divided, the youngest father sent the money to his grandfather and asked his grandfather to give him a new house next to the old house. The old house was distributed to Chen’s father.

Because my youngest father is still a bachelor now and is not at home, my grandfather and mother-in-law live next to my youngest father's house. Now the old house is home to mother Chen and son Chen.

Because I live next to each other, I work together during the busy farming season and eat together. After I finish the work, I eat separately. When will I make delicious food, I will bring a bowl or put together a piece of food.

The next day, Chen's mother had finished feeding the pigs and packing the house, and Xiaoxi and her brother got up.

Mother Chen brought two bowls of porridge on the table and urged her to her two children: "Hurry up, two little lazy guys, come and have a meal after washing up. After we finish our meal, we will go to the mountain to pull the tender rapeseed, and come back to make pickled vegetables."

After packing up the pot and bowl, Chen's mother carried a big bow, locked the door, pulled the two siblings and went out.

When he left the house, Chen's mother boiled eggs for each of the two siblings. In the past, they had to drink them with raw eggs directly. Chen's mother thought that this would be nutritious, but Xiaoxi thought that the raw eggs were full of bacteria, so he didn't drink them. After a few times, Chen's mother cooked them.

After the two of them slowly peeled the eggs and ate them, the destination was almost here.

The land of Xiaoxi family is basically on the back mountain, with only one acre of paddy fields beside the river at the foot of the mountain, and a 5-minute sandy land 3 or 4 minutes away from home.

After going up the mountain, Chen's mother looked at the growth of the corn along the ground and found that a slash had grown, and even the replanted corn grew well.

At this time, the best way to make sauerkraut is the tender rapeseed seedlings. When harvesting rapeseed, farmers will leak a lot of rapeseeds. After a rain, you will find that the whole field is green. Of course, people will not waste it.

In Xiaoximen Village, there are two types of rapeseed plants - black rapeseed and butterrari. The oil produced by black rapeseed is high, and the oil squeezed by butterrari. Moreover, because the seedlings of black rapeseed are tall and must be left with travel distance, so black rapeseed is first cultivated and then dug a pit, which is convenient to remove weeds; while the butterrarium has a small plant stem, so it is scattered or dug a pit, but more than ten seeds will be scattered in the pit. When the rapeseed grows, there is no place to put on the whole field, let alone weeding, it is very difficult to pack up.

The grains of butter rapeseed are small and the oil yield is low. Although it is delicious, the Chen family and the private land have a total of 10 acres of land, and 1 acre of butter rapeseed and 6 acres of black rapeseed.

After inspecting her, Chen's mother called Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin to pick up the vegetables quickly and instructed: "It's still early for us. You only choose this tender leaf to pick. Don't put the slags in, so as not to go back and choose another dish (one time). Be careful not to step on the corn."

After giving instructions, Chen's mother ignored them and worked alone.

Because the stream and the others picked the buttered seedlings, the leaves were small, the stems were thin, and the seedlings were tender. After picking them for half a morning, they pressed them tightly (meaning compacted).

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen's mother waved to the two little ones who were having fun not far away, "Children, it's time to cook."

After returning home, Chen's mother put down her back and went into the kitchen to cook.

After dinner, Chen's mother sent two little ones to take a nap, but then she was busy.

After packing the pot and bowl, find a large dustpan (round, made of bamboo, similar to a sieve. The sieve has holes, is woven relatively thin, with a diameter of 1 meter, and is used to sieve things. The dustpan is 1.5 meters in diameter, has no holes, and is woven relatively thick, and is used to dry powder and small beans. Because it is big enough, it is still surrounded and can also be used to cut things), put a clean wooden board inside, and then take out a kitchen knife from the kitchen to start picking up the tender rape leaves picked in the morning.

Holding a handful of vegetable leaves in your left hand and a kitchen knife in your right hand, you start cutting the vegetable leaves into half a centimeter-long sections.

After about ten minutes, the leaves of a large carpet on the back were cut. Chen's mother went to find two slabs (shaped like a basket, but the basket was woven smoothly. There were many small grooves on the slabs, and the bamboo strips were woven in a staggered manner, which played the same role as a basket - filtering, but the slabs were larger than the basket. There was a bamboo in the middle, which was convenient to carry). She put two and a half slabs on them and carried them with a shoulder pole to wash them in the pond.

For the streams, living water is usually in the cracks of rocks in the valleys and rocks. It is time-consuming and expensive to dig a well, so several families usually work together to dig a well. Because there are many people who take water, it is not allowed to be wasted.

Fortunately, the dam is right in front of the house, close to home, and it is convenient to use. In fact, the water in the dam is also live water, which flows down from the mountain. There is only one family living on the mountain, and the water is clean, and there are several large dams on the mountain.

After Chen's mother washed the green leaves in the pond, she put two pavilions on the stones in the yard when she got home to facilitate the water drying.

After finishing it, I went back to the bedroom to take a nap with the two little babies.

After sleeping for about an hour, Chen's mother got up, moved Taohua back to the house, and woke up the sister and brother Xiaoxi.

The buttered rapeseed seedlings were picked in the morning, and Chen’s mother was going to pick some black rapeseed seedlings in the afternoon.

Because the black rapeseed seedlings were full of branches and leaves, the three of them took half of the morning to come back, and then cut them like a buttered seedling, just cut them into thicker.

Chen's mother asked Xiaoxi to burn the pot, then clean the pot, add half of the pot of water, and wait until the water is boiled to 7 or 80 degrees, and instruct Xiaoxi to burn the fire.

He put the vegetable leaves in a bunch of baskets into the pot, and then used a colander to burn them. When the vegetable leaves changed slightly, he took them out with a colander and poured them into the pottery jar. After this was repeated several times, Chen's mother put the two vegetable leaves into the two jars.

These two jars are actually old jars for making sauerkraut, and there is still the sour water left in the last time the sauerkraut was left. The vegetable leaves and these sour water were fermented. The next day, the vegetable leaves would be eaten by turning from green to gray-black or yellow-green.

After getting the pickled cabbage done, we started cooking supper - pickled cabbage noodles.

After dinner, I packed up the stove, washed my two children, went back to the bedroom and placed it on the bed, and put it on the tape for them, and then said to them: "Xiaoxi, Binbin, I'll go to my grandfather's house and I'll be back in a while. I'm not allowed to leave the house. Binbin wants to be good, Xiaoxi looks after my brother, have you heard?"

Seeing the two children nodding well, Chen's mother smiled with relief and went out.

As soon as Mother Chen entered the door, she found two old people eating, and greeted him, "Dad, mom, you guys have dinner."

When Grandma Chen saw that her daughter-in-law had come, she asked: "Well. Where are Xiaoxi and Binbin? Why didn't she come?"

"They have all washed up, so I let them stay in the house. When they come out, they get dirty again after a while." After saying that, he paused and put the two plastic buckets in his hand on the table. "Mom, these are the pickled vegetables made from rape leaves I picked in the field with Xiao Xibinbin today. One bucket of butter and one bucket of black rapeseed. I think your sauerkraut should have almost finished eating. I'll pour it into the jar."

After saying that, he picked up the sauerkraut and poured it into the sauerkraut jar.

Mother Chen talked with the old man for a while. After the two old men finished their meal, they helped wash the pots and dishes, and then took the empty plastic bucket and went home.

Xiaoxi listened carefully to her mother's breathing and confirmed that her mother was asleep, she flashed into the space.

After entering the space, the stream first collects the crops in the field.

Although the space is large, the stream has only reclaimed 1 acre of land and planted half acre of corn and half acre of vegetables.

The corn has just been packed now, and it is estimated that it will be picked tomorrow. Xiaoxi does not plan to wait until the corn is old before picking it, but plans to wait until the corn is tender, refreshing, delicious, sweet and charming before picking it. It will probably be almost done tomorrow night.

After walking around the vegetable field, the cowpeas and green beans are blooming, the peppers are sprouting, the eggplant is blooming, and the tomatoes are just bearish... Well, the cucumber is just right, just after it grows, and the yellow flowers are still hanging on it. It is the time to be sweet and refreshing, juicy and delicious, and it is just right to pick it.

The stream followed the route of planting cucumbers, picked them and put them into the small backdrop beside her, and then carried them into the warehouse for delivery.

Then he dug potatoes and collected them into the warehouse and cut the sweet potato vines.
