The Life of 'Core' in Korean Dramas

Chapter 72

The tap water washed the spatula and made a rattling sound. After the bang stopped, the brick board was placed on the tile, followed by the continuous sound of chopping vegetables. The huge jar was opened, and the smell of fermented vegetables spread instantly. ; The small pot placed on the stove was gurgling, and the spicy ginger juice overflowed quietly.Time drifts, and in the steamer in the other corner, the white steam is also accompanied by the fragrance of rice and the light aroma of lotus leaves, which overwhelms the sour and sweet and spicy, and permeates the whole small shop. The sound of shouting and the yelling of hawkers also began to come one after another.Cui Xinai squinted her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Slight movements and vague voices came from outside the store, and with the sound of footsteps, Cui Zhongzhe, who had just returned from the garbage, appeared at the kitchen entrance.He leaned on the door knocker and looked around, and said to Cui Xinai: "Xinai, your classmate is here!"

Cui Xinai got up, pulled down the glove of her right hand with her left hand and put it on the table, glanced at Cui Zhongzhe with a stinky face, but was stunned when she walked to the door.The store door was opened, and it still rose and sprinkled the hall with waves of light. Bai Shengzu stood quietly in the morning light, his slightly squinted eyes showed a trace of slack and laziness, and his relaxed posture made her smile involuntarily.

Even the pace of welcoming the past is a little faster.

Hearing the laughter, the dazed Bai Shengzu moved slightly, raised his eyes, and watched Cui Xin'ai getting closer to him, the corners of his pursed mouth gradually loosened.

"Good morning, student Bai Shengzu."

"Good morning."

"It's really early. I didn't ask you to come here at seven. What time did you go out?"

"Six o'clock." Bai Shengzu turned his head slightly, thought for a while, and said with a frown: "There is no tram."

"Then why didn't you wait for the 06:30 tram to come?" Cui Xinai lowered her eyebrows, as if she already knew the answer.Bai Shengzu's gaze fixed on her drifted to the diagonally opposite table and then moved back, but he didn't speak.

Cui Xinai pursed her lips and snickered: "Forget it, then you sit here for a while." She reached out her hand to pull Bai Shengzu, only to realize that she didn't wash her hands when she came out. Although she was wearing gloves, there were inevitably some oil stains on them. a meal.

Bai Shengzu noticed that her hand was withdrawn, his eyes darkened, his displeasure flashed, but he followed Cui Xinai to the chair near the kitchen without saying anything.

"Have you eaten breakfast yet?"

"No."

"Mom just made some side dishes, I'll get you some." Cui Xin'ai just turned around, and suddenly remembered the tea porridge boiled on the stove, and turned around and asked, "Do you want to drink porridge? There is still some tea porridge in it."

"Tea porridge?" Bai Shengzu was stunned. Although the Bai family ate Western-style meals before Wu Nanji and Wu Hani came, he still knew that most families in Korea used rice as the staple food.He checked on the Internet, and even breakfast is rice, rice with miso soup, pickles and kimchi, not porridge.

But the Cui family is obviously a family that eats Korean meals.While thinking, Bai Shengzu's eyes turned around Cui Xin'ai's face, and somehow he didn't say anything but instead asked: "Porridge made from tea?"

Cui Xinai didn't know that Bai Shengzu would go to the Internet to check these things before coming, so she smiled and nodded.She was barely used to the rice with miso soup after eating for more than ten years, but considering that Bai Shengzu might not be used to it, she cooked porridge - of course there was also a reason why she wanted to eat it. "Well, it's porridge made with green tea, dark plum and ginger juice."

Bai Shengzu shook his head when he heard the word ginger. "There is ginger, no."

Cui Xinai was stunned, annoyed by Bai Shengzu's picky eaters, and said with a half-hearted smile: "Do you want to eat the porridge I cook?"

Bai Shengzu caught her staring gaze, nodded immediately, put down his schoolbag and sat down to wait for breakfast.

After filling the ebony ginger tea porridge and some pickles, Cui Xinai patted Bai Shengzu's forehead lightly and said, "You eat here first, I'll be fine soon."

Shun Ren was sorting the last pot of cabbage, lettuce, etc., which had been coated with seasonings, into the jar one by one. Noticing that Cui Xinai came in twice, he casually asked, "Where is the classmate from?"

Cui Xinai hurried over to help, and when she heard the question, she smiled and replied: "Come to go to school with me." After packing up the rest of the things, she washed her hands, and put the small jar of salt on the long table in the middle On, although she answered very plainly just now, this time she couldn't help but sped up the action of sprinkling salt into the pickle jar.

Shun Ren chatted with her for a few words, took off his gloves, and began to cover the jars containing all kinds of pickles one after another, glanced at the small jar in Cui Xinai's hand, couldn't help frowning and shaking his head, and said: For kimchi, just put it in the jar, and make another one. It’s a waste, and you go to buy... this thing! You poor child is such a waste!” I didn’t remember the name Watan, She directly gestured with her hand to the big jar that she had passed by and the small jar that was less than [-] centimeters high on the table that Cui Xinai put on the table, then looked at her movements, and shook her head. "Salt and vinegar? It's fine to put these weird things, and it will be left for a month. Is it really edible?"

Of course it can be eaten, and this is pickled vegetables, not kimchi... Shun Ren, who was born and bred, can't understand why Cui Xin'ai, who can make kimchi in three days, has to wait for a month, and put those weird ones Things, Cui Xinai understands that even if they explain it, they still don't understand, so she said with a few vague words: "But I just think it's more delicious, and the mothers who made it last time also like it? I this time I also put garlic and ginger in it, mom likes it!" After acting like a baby, she blinked innocently, making Shun Ren no longer helpless.

After she finished putting away the ingredients for the pickles, closed the lid of the altar and poured water along the edge, and was about to carry it down to the ground, she hurriedly drank it, took off her gloves and came over. "Go! Go aside!"

Cui Xinai wanted to say something was not heavy, when there was a knock on the door, Shun Ren and she turned their heads together, it turned out to be Bai Shengzu, he was standing at the door of the kitchen with a plate with empty bowls and plates on it, with a natural expression As if his own appearance is a matter of course.

"Hello, auntie. I've finished eating, where should I put it?"

"..."

"..."

How did you come in, bastard? ! !Cui Xin'ai looked at Bai Shengzu and then at Shunren, the inner villain's circling the wall-does love really lower IQ? !Why didn't she expect this to happen when she talked about going to school together last night? !Forced to regain her senses, she turned her head and calmly gave Shun Ren a smile, and said, "Mom, he came to see me for school."

Shun Ren oh oh twice, shocked by their calm and composed attitude, and began to wonder if she was making too much fuss or was she thinking too much?Cui Xinai saw that Shun Ren hadn't turned the corner yet, so she quickly signaled Bai Shengzu to come over and help.Bai Shengzu blinked, put down the plate, and followed her instructions to move the kimchi jar up. Seeing this, Shun Ren hurriedly stopped him: "Hey! Stop, stop! What's the matter with you bastard, it's the same as last time, I said dress well Clothes are not allowed to touch this, they are dirty and hard to wash! You bastard! Wait!"

Stopping and telling Bai Shengzu not to move, Shun Ren hurriedly took out the bear apron that he took out last time: "Apron! Quickly, put on the apron quickly, it will be hard to wash it! There are also gloves!"

Seeing Shun Ren yelling to ask Bai Shengzu to put cabbage and kimchi here, Cui Xinai turned her back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Shun Ren's voice suddenly appeared next to her ear: "What is this?"

Clutching his heart, he looked at Shun Ren and looked around. He found a glass jar from the cupboard—it was a glass jar that used to contain fish sauce, but now it contained red pepper, white radish, and beans.Bai Shengzu came to watch and said, "Sauerkraut."

"Sauerkraut?" Shun Ren shook his head in doubt, looking at Cui Xin'ai.The family didn't have these things before, that is, Cui Xin'ai would go into the kitchen to tinker with nothing in the past few years, so she was sure that it was Cui Xin'ai's.

"Yes. Sauerkraut." Cui Xinai nodded, pointed to the small jar on the table and said, "This jar is also sauerkraut."

As for why this is done... Cui Xin'ai has to say, novels are deceiving people, and TV dramas are also deceiving people!

When she was watching TV back then, she wondered why there are so many delicacies in South Korea?Ignorance ah she!It was only when she came here that she realized that no matter what food she eats, as a commoner and a low-class grassroots, most of what she and her family eat are Korean kimchi.

Although there are occasional novelties, Korean kimchi is still eaten for three meals a day, every month and every year!

Korean kimchi is not actually called kimchi in Korea, most of them are pickled vegetables, but no matter whether it is kimchi or pickled vegetables, they use a lot of fermentation powder and no vinegar in their recipes-there is no variety of delicacies Forget about snacks, not even the simplest and most basic sauerkraut, which is actually very painful for a person who grew up eating sauerkraut!Of course, Cui Xin'ai wouldn't tell anyone about this bitter feeling, and the reality is that even in the current Cui family, Cui Xin'ai couldn't ask Shun Ren to equip her with a sauerkraut jar, right?But if you can't eat Chinese food, can't you have some delicious sauerkraut? !So... When the family conditions improved, she pickled some sauerkraut with rice vinegar and ate it.

"It looks weird, how did you do it?"

"Sauerkraut soaked in rice vinegar and chili. I made it the day before yesterday. It should be edible."

"Just use vinegar? Where can I eat it?" Shun Ren's eyes, he vetoed the so-called sauerkraut.

Cui Xinai laughed dryly.In fact, Shun Ren had eaten this food long ago. At that time, it was pickled cucumbers. She even praised the craftsmanship in surprise, but Cui Xin'ai didn't tell her that it was called sauerkraut or how to make it.

But I have eaten pickled cucumbers, how can I not eat pickled radishes? ...well, she wouldn't say that. "Mom, it's edible. I found a book and researched it. The recipe I gave you last time included this snack! Why don't you try it." Cui Xinai said, taking out the bowl and chopsticks and adding two pieces of pickled radish. Looking at the appearance, it is indeed almost the same. "Mom, let's try."

menu?Shun Renzheng looked at the glass bottle on the table hesitantly, but he didn't want to part with his daughter's expectant eyes, and finally couldn't resist asking Bai Enzu next to him: "Is there really a snack like sauerkraut? Can you eat it?"

Bai Shengzu glanced at Cui Xin'ai and then at the remaining pickled radish in the small bowl. He didn't say anything, but the struggle in his eyes was still seen by the two of them.But the content of his struggle is - Cui Xinai made it by himself...but it was a radish... Cui Xinai made it...a radish...

Shun Ren didn't get an answer for a while, and said: "Look, Shengzu dare not eat it, I don't think you will make this in the future, sauerkraut? This thing called sauerkraut...the name is very strange, and it is also scary."

Scary... scary... scary.Cui Xinai covered her face and didn't want to talk anymore. She couldn't eat sauerkraut in the future, and maybe it would be difficult to make other snacks.No, maybe what she should think about is whether her sense of taste will become so strange in the future if she continues to eat Korean food - sauerkraut is very strange and scary... Thinking of this, Cui Xinai's inner villain can't help but linger Wall, fuck me!
