Chapter 89 [089] Tomato sauce
In addition to making dried plum vegetables, the sister-in-law will also dig wild vegetables in places where wild vegetables are flooded. No matter what kind of wild vegetables they dug are, they will be collected and dried and preserved.
Among them, purslane, Maunich, noodle dish, shepherd's purse, dandelion, bitter vegetable, plantain, wormwood, thorn vegetables, gray vegetables, etc. are mostly collected and then marinated as dried plums, but the number of times is not so many.
After completion at one time, put it in a jar for storage and take it out and dry it every once in a while to ensure that it does not become moldy and deteriorate.
Because the life of eating grass roots and bark in the first half of the year was too bitter, in the season when wild vegetables were dense and endlessly grown, even if the weather was hot, the sisters-in-law never had time to spare.
Every day, they have to take their two children to dig wild vegetables, and Zhuo Lin has also put a lot of effort into this. In the eyes of the sister-in-law, digging more wild vegetables will make the room for choice in winter. Even if they really encounter any disaster, they will not be as unprepared as last year.
As long as it is a wild vegetable that can be eaten, they will pick it home and put it in different categories. For this reason, they specially bought some porcelain jars, clay pots, and porcelain jars are a little more expensive, 50 cents to one dollar each, and clay pots are cheaper, and five cents to one cent. You can choose according to your own situation.
After the children came home from school to finish their homework, they had another job at night, which was to touch the horse cicadas. The cicadas in early July were so annoying. At night, they broke out of the ground and climbed onto the trees. The next day they completed the work of shelling, and then they could spread their wings and fly high to the branches.
The cicada monkeys that the children touched can be fried and roasted. This is a special delicacy that belongs to this season. Because there are many trees in the countryside, you can touch more than a dozen or twenty every night. If it rains, it is easier to find cicada monkeys after the rain. They are looking for thin layers of soil and a small hole underground. You can see if there are any cicada monkeys hidden inside with your fingers. This is the fun of childhood.
There is a lot of rain in summer. Whenever it rains, the children are either busy picking mushrooms or picking cicada monkeys. Even Zhuo Lin runs around and becomes mud monkeys.
In the era when there was no meat, the cicada monkey was a handful of meat for the children, so after dinner, they had to catch the cicada monkey, which became something they had to do in summer.
Tomatoes, or persimmons, can be boiled into tomato sauce and preserved. Especially in their homes, they have a lot of planting and knotting, but there are no glass bottles that can be sealed and preserved at home. If you want a glass bottle, you have to buy canned food, or the glass bottles that can be used for dripping in this era are also fine. The bottles after eating canned food can be used for tomato sauce, but the bottles that can be made without any problem will not be able to do it.
Except for this sealed glass jar, other jars are prone to breakage and are not easy to store.
They can’t buy canned food or find someone to order glass bottles in order to eat ketchup?
Seeing that the tomatoes are too numerous tomatoes, they cannot be preserved, so I eat them every day in summer and get tired of eating them. To be honest, this feeling is quite atrocious.
Finally, Zhuo Lin couldn't help asking Wang: "Mom, why can't our family go to the health center to find someone to order the glass bottle for drip? Use that bottle to store tomato sauce, which can be stored for a long time. Add a little when cooking soup in winter, and the taste is so good!"
