The peace of the Three Realms depends on me [Food]

20. Spicy cabbage

Ji Ping'an had raised a kitten before, and when winter came, that raccoon cat tried every means to crawl into his bed.Sometimes when I am sleeping well, I suddenly feel my chest sinking, and when I reach out and touch it, I will definitely be able to touch a mass of heavy, fluffy and warm cats.

Ji Pingan was already familiar with sleeping with cats, so he turned sideways and let Xiao Bai sleep in his arms.Xiaobai was uncomfortable at first, probably because it was too cold, and after a while he involuntarily approached Ji Pingan.

There was a warm little animal next to him, and Ji Pingan felt his mood gradually improved.

Xiaobai didn't know what to say after getting under the covers, he had never felt that Ji Ping'an was so serious!The temperature of his breathing and heartbeat surrounded him like this.

Ji Ping'an's smell was very refreshing, and his quilt was warm, smelling like the sun.This smell made Xiao Bai very relaxed, and he really wanted to close his eyes and fall asleep.

However, he promised Ji Pingan to talk to him, so he can't break his promise, right?

It was Ji Pingan who opened up the conversation first, and he asked with a smile, "Xiaobai will be able to transform in the future?" Xiaobai can speak now, and transforming is not difficult for him.

Xiaobai really didn't want to deceive Ji Pingan, so he responded, "Yes."

Ji Pingan proudly rubbed Xiaobai's head: "That's great. Xiaobai will definitely become a powerful demon cultivator in the future."

Xiaobai said that he wanted to be his good friend, and he didn't doubt his sincerity.It's just that the spirit beast's life is very long, and he is just a passerby to Xiaobai.Xiaobai will have many, many friends in the future, he will have a bright and charming life, and he will see many, many scenery.

Ji Pingan found a comfortable position and closed his eyes, "It's great, I have a spirit beast friend."

There was a slight sound of wood burning in the stove, and Xiao Bai beside him exuded warmth.It might be that what Xiaobai said made sense, or it might be that Ji Pingan was tired after a busy day, and he soon fell asleep.

In the next two days, he was still very busy, and of course his busyness also saw results.First of all, the shredded radish that was dried in the sun two days ago has completely dried up, and the snow-white shredded radish has turned into a slightly yellowed dried shred, which smells more like dried vegetables with the smell of radish.

Dried plum vegetables were also dried and steamed twice, and now there are only a handful of pickled vegetables and radish sprouts hanging on the rope, which can be collected after another day of drying.

He also marinated the radish cubes with various spices and seasonings and stuffed them into the jar.Xiao Bai secretly licked the spice, which almost didn't send him away.Salty, sweet and spicy, with the taste of five-spice powder, the smell is soaring!

If Ji Pingan hadn't repeatedly described the deliciousness of dried radish to him, he wouldn't have believed that the dried radish was edible!

Some of the large cabbages in the field were harvested and placed in the yard to dry, and some were transported by Ji Pingan to the chicken coop and put together with the grain.

The outer layer of leaves of the Chinese cabbage in the yard is wilted by the sun. It's time to make spicy cabbage.

Last night, Ji Ping'an was busy cooking the seasoning for spicy cabbage, and Xiao Bai saw with his own eyes that he boiled half a pot of rice paste.

Early this morning, Ji Ping'an was busy. He added thick and thin chili noodles to the rice porridge, added seasonings that Xiaobai didn't know, shredded apples, pears, and scallions and leeks... …

Anyway, after Ji Ping'an continued to add seasonings, a pot of rice paste turned into a big pot of red sticky chili sauce. The smell of onion, garlic and seasoning wafted far away, but it wasn't unpleasant.

The cabbage was also processed yesterday. Ji Pingan removed the wilted leaves on the outside, and then split them into four petals from their roots.Last night, he had already put a layer of coarse salt on each leaf of the cabbage. After one night, the originally straight Chinese cabbage leaves became soft and could be twisted easily.

Ji Pingan put them in the prepared clean water to wash away the salt, and then put the cabbage wrung out of the water as much as possible into the bamboo sieve aside to filter the water for later use.After a while he'll smear each leaf with a special chilli paste, which turns the cabbage into kimchi.

This is a big project, and he has to apply it for half a day by himself.

At this time, He Lang's voice came from outside the courtyard: "Peace! Peace!"

As soon as Ji Ping'an turned his head, he saw He Lang entering the door with a few wild rabbits in his hand.

He Lang's left eye was bruised and swollen, and the corner of his mouth was wounded, which was pulled when he smiled.But when he saw Ji Pingan, he couldn't help laughing: "Hey, I brought you a rabbit!"

Ji Pingan froze for a moment, a smile involuntarily crawled up the corner of his mouth.

Even if he told himself [-] times, He Lang and him have already broken off friendship.But the moment he saw him, Ji Pingan still couldn't control his smile.

It would be a lie to say he was unhappy, he knew that the relationship between He Lang and him was not that fragile!

He Lang threw the rabbit to the ground: "It's just taken out of the trap, it's still warm. I'm going to peel the skin and make spicy rabbit diced for lunch?"

Ji Pingan waved his hand: "Not busy, what's wrong with your face?"

He Lang smiled naively and touched his face: "Hey, there was a fight between the families, and my brother and I had a fight."

Ji Pingan was stunned for a moment: "Split up? Why do you split up now? Didn't you split up after you got married?"

It is not uncommon for families in the countryside to have family divisions. Generally, after their children get married, their parents will give them some property so that they can start their own family.

It stands to reason that the two brothers of the He Lang family should have separated long ago, but the sister-in-law of the He family has always been unwilling.According to the sister-in-law of the He family, it is unfair for the younger brother-in-law to be separated from the family because his mother is old.In fact, anyone who knows the inside story knows that He Lang is capable. If he doesn't separate his family for a day, the wife of the He family can get a share of the prey he makes with the money he makes.

The separation of the family is not a good thing for He Lang now, the money he earned before is in the hands of his elder brother and sister-in-law, and they will definitely not use it for his marriage.In addition, he still has to support his mother, and he has to be hired to get married... It is not a wise move to break up with his eldest brother and sister-in-law now.

Ji Pingan understood after thinking about it: "Is it because of me?!"

Why didn't it matter whether it was early or late, and why they separated within two days after he went to Qiancun.Ji Pingan thought about it with his toes and realized that this must have something to do with him.

He Lang values ​​loyalty, and he only needs to inquire about what happened to Ji Pingan in the village before.He can be wronged by himself, but he must never watch his friends and relatives be wronged.

He Lang waved his hand indifferently: "What does it have to do with you? It's not like you don't know that I want to separate. I've had enough of my sister-in-law's talk, and I'll score sooner or later. It's nothing more than letting them Just take advantage of it."

"I regret that this fight was late! When my father passed away, he told me that my brother and sister-in-law were greedy, and asked me to take my mother away from them. I was worried about the brotherhood and endured it for so many years, but in the end They slapped their noses on their faces. Not only did they take my money, but they even pointed fingers at the people around me. Even though they are from the same mother, I also want to say that they are really nothing!"

He Lang pointed to the wound in the corner of his eye: "Do you know how this came about? They couldn't hold me, so they wanted to take more things. Hey, I've already torn my face, why should I be angry? A fight cleared the way , and now the yards are all separated."

"If it didn't take a day or two to build the wall, I would have come to see you a long time ago. I have been very busy these two days. What annoyed me the most was that I didn't even have a bite of the duck in sour soup that I had been looking forward to for a long time. Eat it!"

The more relaxed He Lang said, Ji Pingan knew that he had a bad life in the past two days.He felt even more guilty: "Duck in sour soup is a trivial matter. If you like it, I can do it today. But you still have to get married..."

At this juncture, He Lang definitely didn't get it right when the family was separated. The loss of money was not the same, and his reputation was probably damaged as well.Many families were unwilling to marry their daughters to families with bad morals, and Ji Pingan himself suffered a lot from it, so he was worried that He Lang would also suffer in this regard.

He Lang smiled: "It's okay, I went to Zhang's house and told them about it the next day after we separated. It was betrothed to me, so I accepted it. Fortunately, Cui Cui recognized me, and when I heard that the family was separated, Cui Cui said that she wanted to come and take care of our mother and child."

The stone in Ji Ping'an's heart just fell, if he caused his brother to lose his wife, he would have to blame himself for the rest of his life!

He Lang patted Ji Ping'an's shoulder heavily, and his brows were beaming with joy: "December [-]th engagement, you must come and support me! You are my brother who died, and you agreed to accompany me to the engagement, see I'm married and will be my son's godfather!"

Ji Ping'an's eyes were slightly red, and he hesitated: "But..."

He Lang slapped Ji Ping'an's back with a slap: "What's the matter? Those gossiping women in the village talk to each other all day long, but they just have nothing to do when they're full. They can't tidy up the house at this time ? My own family is in a mess, and I want to take care of other people's affairs."

"I, Cui Cui, my mother and Cui Cui's father and mother welcome you, why are you still struggling. I think you have to be a little confident in peace. You are such a good person, and you will always meet someone who wants to associate with you sincerely." .As for the gossip outside, just treat them as fart and don't take it to heart!"

The light in Ji Ping'an's eyes came back again: "Yes!"

He Lang looked at the pots and buckets in the courtyard: "I'm going to make spicy cabbage today, right? I just like your spicy cabbage! I agreed to make ten for me this year, are you ready?"

Ji Pingan nodded happily: "Not much else, spicy cabbage is enough."

Seeing He Lang humming and carrying the rabbit to the river, Xiao Bai said slowly, "He's not bad."

Not everyone can withstand external pressure and maintain friendship. He Lang is indeed a trustworthy friend. He was prejudiced against He Lang before.

He will have a better attitude towards He Lang in the future, of course, the premise is that He Lang will not continue to provoke him with his cheap words.

The author has something to say:

Come, come, hand over the delicious spicy cabbage link.The kimchi that Lao Mao bought before was so sweet and sour. I don’t believe that spicy cabbage tastes like that!I must have bought it from the wrong store!
