"Is this useful?" asked Mrs. Gu.

"Of course it's useful!" Gu Qiao replied.

She asked Mrs. Gu to scoop the soup in the pot into the wooden bucket, then sprinkle some salt, and then cover it after it became cold, and then carry it to the cool corner of the house and put it in.

"In two days, the beans will become thinner and you still need this soup."

In a flash, two days passed.

After Gu Pozi and Gu Qiao uncovered the quilt and wooden lid, they saw that the beans were fermenting.

The original yellow beans became slightly darker and thinner, and there was a sticky liquid between the beans and beans.

"What should I do next?" Mrs. Gu asked Gu Qiao.

"The next thing is the same as fermented bean curd. We prepare the seasoning according to our taste and mix it with the fermented black beans. If you want to eat water, you soak it in the soup left over the previous two days and put it in a jar. If you want to eat dried fermented black beans, we have to work hard to pinch the fermented black beans into a ball, and then put it on the heat to dry the kang."

Do it as you say it.

Gu Pozi and Mei didn’t know whether dried fermented black beans were delicious or water fermented black beans were delicious, so they decided to make half of them each.

They mixed salt, pepper, bay leaves and other seasonings with fermented fermented black beans, then poured half of the fermented black beans into an empty dried jar, and then mixed bean soup.

The other fermented black beans were pinched into one dumpling after another, which was about twice the size of a dumpling, and then they were stuffed with a sieve, and then the sieve was hung onto the stove.

"It took less than ten days and half a month to cook, so I'm afraid it won't be dried." Mrs. Gu said while fixing the sieve.

"After half a month, you will know whether our fermented black beans will be successful or not." Gu Qiao was very patient.

"But, let's taste the fermented bean curd first today." Mrs. Gu scratched her nose and preached.

There was still black ash on her hands. As soon as she scraped her nose, a touch of black was immediately stained with.

"Hahahaha, the flower-faced cat." Mrs. Gu laughed at her.

Mei was opening the lid of the jar, and when she turned her head, she immediately laughed.

"Woooo!" Xiao Tuanzi shook his tail around Gu Qiao.

"Why are you just making trouble?" Gu Qiao said, immediately picked up a piece of firewood, put it into the stove and scraped it into the bottom of the pot, then stuck it to his hands, and quickly wiped it on Xiaotuanzi's cheeks.

Although the hair on the back of the little dumpling was gray, the sides of the cheeks were against the jaw and the jaw, but the belly was milky white. The dust was immediately stained with gray, and it suddenly seemed like a beard was painted.

It has not grown yet, it is a furry ball, fat and round. When these two beards are painted, they are immediately inappropriate. Not only does it not look fierce, but it is stupid and cute, making people laugh.

In an instant, the room was filled with laughter.

"Ouch." Mrs. Gu even held her stomach, feeling like she was about to laugh.

Fortunately, Mei finally held back her laughter, picked up the fermented bean curd, and blocked everyone's laughing mouth with delicious food.

The fermented bean curd has a delicate taste and a strong flavor. Apart from being a little salty, it is simply impeccable.

But if it is not salty, it will not last long.

"In this way, we can use fermented bean curd with steamed buns or rice cakes in the morning, which will make it more delicious." Mrs. Gu smiled.

Gu Qiao calculated that there were more and more breakfasts in her family.

These days are the time when cabbage is bolted. You can cook rice cakes and cabbage moss to eat, or cook sweet wine and make dumplings, and steamed buns and fermented bean curd. It is great to ensure that it is not the same within three days.

Life passes faster in the busyness, and in a flash, the salt and vegetables are pickled, and Mrs. Gu quickly enters the city again.

At this time, Luo Qing had already started plowing the land. In order to go to the city to buy piglets, he had delayed a day.

Because there are many piglets and there are too many ox carts to load, Mrs. Gu also borrowed the donkey cart from Lu's restaurant and paid 30 cents. She then transported the piglets and the jar back together.

This time, Gu Pozi and Mei Huanqing's family each bought six pigs, Luo Qing's family bought four, and Gu Jing's family actually bought eight more pigs.

In this way, the Gu Pozi and Mei Huanqing's family each raised six heads, the Luo Qing's family raised eight heads, and the Gu Jing's family raised eleven heads.

There are eleven pigs, each piglet is 200 cents, which is more than two taels of silver. Judging from the harvest of the clan’s hometown last year, there is no such much money, not to mention that the clan’s hometown even bought a calf.

"From this point, the clan's hometown must have a lot of family background." Gu Qiao couldn't help but guess.

"Everyone in the village said that, but no one knows what the family is. Besides, his family has just bought a full moon wine, so they may have collected a lot of money." Mrs. Gu was not interested in the incident of catching wind and shadows. Instead, he pointed to the plants in the backpack and said to Gu Qiao, "I bought the jujube tree. You can see where it is suitable to plant it, and there are also grape vines."

"Grape!" Gu Qiao was overjoyed and walked forward immediately.

This time she didn't follow her into the city, and she didn't expect that her grandmother had bought so many good things.

The wasteland next to it has been reclaimed. Gu Qiao thought for a moment and decided to plant the vines under the base of the courtyard wall so that the vines will not have to be used as a pretentious thing when they grow.

"No, grape vines are easy to attract snakes, so it's better to plant them in the wasteland next to them." Mei suggested.

"It's okay, I will plant snakes and go backwards, that is, river grass, so the snakes dare not come." Her plant encyclopedia is not a decoration.

"Yes, it's good to plant under the courtyard wall, and the grapes will look good when they are hung." Mrs. Gu agreed.

In this way, Gu Qiao planted the vines under the other courtyard wall opposite the roses, and planted the jujube trees in the wasteland.

Originally, she wanted to cut wood ginger trees in this wasteland, but since Shen Zhao met wolves and tigers up the mountain, Gu Qiao never dared to go up the mountain again, and naturally she didn't dare to pick wood ginger branches.

Gu Pozi and Mei washed all the jars they bought and put them in the yard to dry.

"I will pack all the salt and vegetables tomorrow, and this February will be over in a flash." Mrs. Gu couldn't help but sigh.

She didn't say that Gu Qiao didn't think it was, but after doing this, she had been in Gujia Village for a whole year.

There seems to be no change in the house and yard of the family, but over the year, the granary is full, the family eats more, the fields are full of vegetables and grains, there are pigs in the pigpen, and ducks under the granary...

Life is improving step by step.

"Grandma, I'm going to take pig vegetables!" Gu Qiao said quickly.

With a pig at home, she has another important task since today - making pig dishes.

Six little pigs, these are not six chickens and six ducks, and they ate a lot, so Gu Qiao did not dare to be vague and quickly picked up a basket to mow the grass.

"Be careful, don't go far. If you can't pick it up, come back and call us. Have you heard it?" Mei Shi was worried and quickly reminded her.

"I understand!" Gu Qiao responded and went out happily.
