”Aiya …” Tian Tian said softly.
She felt a strong arm tugging at her jade back.
Tian Tian's shirt collar had also been ripped open.
”Ah …” Little Four, quickly help me up. ” Tian Tian jumped and stomped her feet.
Chen Xiaosi was startled, and immediately helped him up.
Tian Tian rolled her eyes at him: ”What did you see just now?”
”No ….” He didn't see anything … I didn't see anything. ”
Hearing Chen Xiaosi say that, Tian Tian heaved a sigh of relief, and said softly: ”That's good, that's good, you scared me to death …”
Chen Xiaosi nodded: ”What I didn't see, was just a ditch, I didn't see anything else.”
Tian Tian's eyes darkened, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
He punched's arm and said, ”Scoundrel, I knew that you were doing this on purpose. Chen Xiaosi, I realised that you are revealing your true colors …”
Sis Tian Tian, let's not talk about this for now, what are you doing?
”I …” Tian Tian pointed: ”What can I do, pickled vegetables are fine, I grew some in the field and grew a lot of them early, I dug out some pickled vegetables to eat.”
Chen Xiaosi took a look, accurately speaking, it was mustard, the pickled vegetables were extremely crispy and delicious.
It was a simple task for rural families to pickle this dish. If they put more salt in it, they could finish eating all of the mustard, and that would do as well.
But Tian Tian had put a lot of supporting materials, chilli powder, ginger, garlic …
There were about a dozen of them. Although they were not worth much and she did not marinate many of them, they were all extremely meticulous and exquisite.
”Sis Tian Tian, don't you have too many seasonings? It's like cooking. It's just a pickled vegetable, do you really need so much seasonings?”
Tian Tian curled her lips and said: ”It's still not the same. If only there were medlar and Codonopsis, then that would be even better.”
”Wolfberry? Codonopsis? ” Chen Xiaosi said, ”Oh, that's right, Sis Tian Tian is a member of the Korean Clan, right? ”No wonder …”
”En!” Tian Tian stroked her two braids and said: ”In the past when my parents were still alive, I learned to make pickled vegetables together with them. There are still two flavorings missing. Tian Tian did not continue.
Chen Xiaosi nodded his head: ”That's right, ginseng can nourish Yin and strengthen Yang. My guess is that if wild ginseng is not that rare, the material would be even better, if not it would not be replaced by ginseng. In fact, wolfberries can nourish Yin and strengthen Yang too.”
”Aiya …” I don't even want to hear it, and yet you keep on talking.
Chen Xiaosi laughed, thinking that it made sense. It was really wrong to be talking about nourishing the Yin and strengthening the Yang with a little widow.
”Sis Tian Tian, let's continue with salted vegetables.”
Tian Tian nodded her head and placed all the pickled vegetables into the vat one by one. She only laid a small layer, sprinkled them with ingredients and added a large amount of salt, and warm water in the end …
Tian Tian said: ”Once the water is boiled, it will kill bacteria, so it's better to marinate the pickled vegetables with cold boiled water.”
Chen Xiaosi looked and suddenly covered his eyes, ”Not good, I've learnt it. This is the marinating method passed down in your family.”
”Pfft, I've already seen it, why are you blocking my eyes now? Even if you block it, you would have already seen it all. From what I see, you did it on purpose, and now you are pretending to be a good person. ”
Chen Xiaosi's two sentences made him feel as if his heart was on fire.
”Sis Tian Tian, how about this, I'll try to use your method to marinate the pickled vegetables. When it becomes your bonus, this is your patent.”
Tian Tian muttered: ”What patent? I don't want it to be patented, Xiao Si, I have methods to marinate spicy cabbage, I will teach you. How about this, I will serve you some, you try it first.”
As Tian Tian spoke, she took out a sealed jar from her room. With a numb hand, she flicked away the dust on top of the jar and then opened it gently.
