Chapter 56 The pickled cabbage is ready

On the dining table, there are several bowls of brown rice porridge, with a small plate of Chinese cabbage in the middle.

Chinese cabbage was exchanged with shrimp from Uncle Zheng last time.

A piece of Chinese cabbage weighs four or five pounds, and it is enough to peel off three leaves at a time. After eating it for so long, it has a little more flavor when mixed with the newly grown leeks in my vegetable garden.

Is Xiaocheng's feet cold sitting here? Gu Chunzhu didn't care to eat it first, and looked at Xiaocheng's two medicated knees with hot eyes, and his slender legs like corn stalks.

Xiaocheng shook his head, Gu Chunzhu was worried, the heat in the stove was the remnants of cooking, and it might dissipate after a while.

It was not cold in the sun outside just now, so she went to the back room and found the old cotton jacket she was wearing, wrapped it around Xiao Cheng's calf, and tied it with a rope.

Xiaocheng also obediently asked her to do it. An An held the chopsticks and said with a smile: Brother, it really looks like a zongzi made by a big Zhuangniang!

Okay, let's eat obediently. Gu Chunzhu said, he opened the brown rice porridge with chopsticks, and began to drink slowly.

Halfway through the meal, people came to the yard again.

Su Wangqin went to take a look, and found that it was here to deliver shrimp, so let him sit first and then go back to the house to eat.

Looking at Gu Chunzhu's visiting eyes, he stared and said, I'm here to deliver shrimp. I've asked someone to wait. I'll talk about it after lunch.

Gu Chunzhu looked at him with a teachable expression and continued to drink brown rice porridge.

With this smug look, Su Wangqin's black eyes were stained with a little smile, but he also lowered his head and drank porridge to deeply cover up this emotion.

When the family was almost done eating, Su Wangqin only mentioned: The restaurant in the county town should be visited every three days. Tomorrow will be the day to deliver the shrimp. Do you still accept the shrimp from this village?

Take it! Gu Chunzhu knew that Su Wangqin was afraid of what happened at the entrance of the village.

For the money, why didn't she accept it! Of course, except for once every three days, they will never be accepted on other days.

With Gu Chunzhu's permission, Su Wangqin went outside to count a few bowls of river prawns for the waiting villager.

Gu Chunzhu put down the bowls and chopsticks, picked up Xiaocheng, and greeted An An: Follow up, my brother's leg was injured today, so you can play in the house and don't go out. Mother will light a charcoal fire for you.

Okay! An An followed behind Gu Chunzhu, kicking his calf.

Going out of the kitchen, the villager saw Gu Chunzhu and rubbed his hands awkwardly, Sister Wangqin, I'm sorry for what happened before. We were also instigated by that Qiu family.

Humph. Gu Chunzhu snorted coldly, and said to Su Wangqin, I don't care about collecting everyone's shrimp, but as long as there is a dead one to fill up the money, give it back to me!

Okay. Su Wangqin also turned over the prawns with his hands when he was scooping up the prawns, making sure that they were not dead before putting them in another wooden bucket.

Seeing the look in the eyes of the villagers looking at him, Gu Chunzhu simply raised his chin to let them all know that he was not easy to mess with, and to help Qiu to embarrass himself, did he owe them something?

She put Xiaocheng on the bed, covering her stomach with only the corner of the quilt, leaving her injured knee exposed to prevent the quilt from hurting.

An An also took off her shoes and lay obediently beside Xiao Cheng.

An'an, don't make trouble with your brother, do you know that? Gu Chunzhu pulled the quilt over and covered An'an. Looking at a pair of good-looking children, he let out a sigh of relief.

Got it, mother, go get busy, An An will be obedient. An An stretched out her arms around Xiao Cheng's neck, her little eyelashes pretending to be closed, when Gu Chunzhu poked her belly, she laughed again giggling.

Su Wangqin was collecting river shrimp, while Gu Chunzhu went to work in the kitchen.

After washing the pot and tableware, Gu Chunzhu took out the pickled vegetables in the corner.

The jar was not completely sealed, and some of the ones that had come into contact with the air grew a little white hair. Gu Chunzhu felt distressed and took out the white hair and threw it away. Then he picked up a good one and tasted it.

The afternoon passed quickly. Gu Chunzhu took the shrimp rod to fish for shrimp. The number of shrimp in the river became less and less. She came back after only catching a bowl in one afternoon.

One is that the weather is getting colder, and the other is that there are too many people fishing for shrimp.

In the evening, Mrs. Fu actually sent a small half bucket of shrimp.

Sister-in-law, where did you catch this? I just caught a bowl by the river today. Gu Chunzhu looked at the river prawns swimming happily in the wooden barrel, and at first glance, he caught it today.

I went fishing at my mother's house, and I see other people are fishing elsewhere. I'm afraid there will be fewer prawns when the weather is cold. Sister Fu didn't hide it from Gu Chunzhu. Fortunately, she had the method taught by Gu Chunzhu, and she caught it. There are more prawns than others.

Gu Chunzhu understood the meaning of Sister Fu's words. The business of this river shrimp may not last long.

Gu Chunzhu thought of going to the county town tomorrow to deliver river prawns, and thinking of Xiao Cheng, whose knee was still injured, so he entrusted Mrs. Fu to come to the house tomorrow to help cook a late lunch.

For this trivial matter, Mrs. Fu responded, and Gu Chunzhu felt embarrassed and took a small bowl of today's pickled cabbage for Mrs. Fu.

Sister-in-law Fu was embarrassed to accept it when she saw that it was a little pickle.

Su Wangqin went to He Lao San's house to send money, and Gu Chunzhu sat up for dinner and cooked brown rice. Putting two big firewood burning in the stove, she hurried to the village entrance to buy a piece of tofu.

eat at night

The sauerkraut helps the child to roll tofu, especially for dinner, only this one dish makes the whole family have a round belly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day.

When Gu Chunzhu woke up, Su Wangqin had already prepared breakfast as usual, and sorted out the three buckets of shrimp to be sold in the county.

Brother Wang, you have to go to work today. Gu Chunzhu rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked to the dining table to pick up the brown rice porridge.

Su Wangqin had already eaten breakfast, and he also looked back at Gu Chunzhu's words, If you want to go to work, I just took you to the ox cart. It's hard for you to take it alone.

Okay. Gu Chunzhu pinched his earlobes while drinking porridge, but he was much more awake.

When he left, Su Wangqin was carrying a pole and a wooden bucket at each end. Gu Chunzhu was carrying a basket, which also contained a bucket, exactly three buckets.

As soon as he walked out of the Chaimen, he almost forgot the air-dried rabbit meat. Gu Chunzhu asked Su Wangqin to wait for her for a while, and then he turned back and got the air-dried rabbit meat.

After thinking about it, she put three pieces of sauerkraut in the jar of pickled vegetables, put them in the bowl, and ran out with the bowl in hand.

Slow down, what are you doing with this? Su Wangqin asked curiously, guessing that this woman wouldn't think of selling this sauerkraut gang again.

The cabbage was originally worthless. Although the sauerkraut she made tasted good, it was estimated that a large pot of cabbage could only be sold for a few cents more.

Gu Chunzhu held the bowl and took a sip of the salty and sour taste. He was very satisfied. Bring this to Sister-in-law Gui, she gave me this dish. It's easy to get something to do.

Okay! Su Wangqin's lips curled up without a trace.
