The Petite Wife of the First Family

Chapter 231 Dried Cabbage

When Xu Zhizhi and Xiao Jingheng came out of the wash, everyone had already finished their work.

As for what happened in the kitchen in the morning, Xu Zhizhi really didn't know, she could hear it, but she was tossed and didn't have the energy to listen.

Xia He smiled and brought two bowls of hot and fragrant dumplings on the dining table.

Seeing the smile on Xia He's face, Xu Zhizhi knew that the girl had put down her brother.

This is very good, after all, I have been with her for a few months, and I don't want to give up her like this.

Now, since she herself knows the severity, Xu Zhizhi said to Xia He:

"Xia He, you have been trained in dressing up before, so when I go to Luocheng with me, you can be my personal maid."

Xia He didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Zhizhi:

"Thank you, master, Xia He will follow the master faithfully in the future, and everything will be the master's priority, and he will never dare to give birth to illusions."

Xu Zhizhi said: "Get up! It's true that you did wrong this time. It's not wrong to take the initiative to pursue the person you like. However, if the other party doesn't respond, you must stop it in time. The relationship is perfect only if you are in love with each other. It's abusive!"

Xia He sincerely thanked Xu Zhizhi for his teaching, "Thank you, my master, the slaves will follow my master's teachings."

After Xu Zhizhi and Xiao Jingheng had breakfast, they went to the back mountain to chop cabbage together.

The back hill is the hill behind their yard that Xu Zhizhi bought first, and has already planted a season of sweet potatoes.

After harvesting sweet potatoes, Xu Zhizhi planted milk cabbage half a mountain and white radish half a mountain.

The radish can still grow for a few days, and the milk cabbage is a few in a pocket. Xu Zhizhi wants to pull out one or two larger ones first.

Keep the small ones and let them grow a little longer before drying.

However, if you pull it, it will lead to the slightly smaller milk cabbage seedlings in the pocket.

Xia He, Qiu Ju, Wen Yuluo and Xu Daniu all followed Xu Zhizhi to chop cabbage together.

Xiao Jingheng and Xu Daniu chopped in the front two, because they were not harvested in pieces, so be careful not to step on the milky cabbage seedlings that were not yet grown in the back.

A few girls took off the yellow leaves of the milk cabbage, cut the roots neatly, and put the whole cabbage in clean water to wash the sediment.

This is a careful job. It is necessary to ensure that the heart of each cabbage is rinsed clean. This is the key detail to make the dried cabbage free of sediment.

When washing the cabbage, be careful not to split it, because the dried cabbage is made from the whole tree, which is easy to take care of.

The whole morning was almost done, so Xia He and Qiu Ju went back to cook ahead of time.

At this time, butler Wen took Wen Yuluo and Xu Xiaowu to finish reading, and also came to Houshan.

Butler Wen and Xu Xiaowu came to take over the work of picking yellow leaves from Xia He and Qiu Ju.

Xu Xiaowu often works with his sister, picking yellow leaves is similar to picking sweet potato roots before.

Although others are small, they can work quickly and do a good job.

However, Butler Wen is going to be slower. He has dug sweet potatoes before, which is also the slowest one!

He sincerely praised Xu Xiaowu: "Xiao Wu! You are really amazing! You are good at reading, and you have done a good job in the farm work!"

Little Xu Xiaowu was very happy in his heart, but he also said modestly:

"Reading was taught well by Uncle Wen, and my sister taught this farm work well!"

Xu Zhizhi felt that this little kid could just slap rainbow farts, but she was so happy when she heard it!

She also praised: "Xiao Wu is very talented, he can learn everything quickly, it's amazing when he grows up!"

More importantly, Xu Xiaowu is very slick, not sophisticated at all, so he can live a wonderful life.

Wen Yushu and Wen Yuluo wash cabbage, Wen Yushu is also a careful person and does a good job.

After all, he had a foundation of three years before, and the sister and brother were also very fast.

Everyone talks and laughs, and I don’t feel tired when working, but it is quite effective.

Xu Zhizhi arranged to chop the cabbage in the morning, wash it, and work at home in the afternoon.

During lunch time, everyone went back to eat, and the housekeeper Wen kept sharing with Father Xu about his work at noon.

Father Xu also listened with relish, as if he was also participating.

After lunch, Xu Zhizhi reassigned their work.

Xia He used the largest pot in the house to boil a pot of boiling water, and then Xu Feng scalded the washed milk cabbage in boiling water until it became soft, blanched it on high heat for about tens of seconds, and immediately took it out and drained it.

The pot must be cleaned, and it cannot be stained with oil or water, otherwise the cabbage will rot during the drying process, and the cabbage will not be dried at all.

Xu Zhizhi told him not to put too much milk cabbage in each blanching, so as to prevent some milk cabbage from being scalded and broken after drying.

Take out the drained cabbage and put it in a wooden bucket, and Xu Daniu mentioned it outside.

For Wen Yuluo and Wen Yushu, hang the milk cabbage on a bamboo pole, on a rope, and place it in a sunny and well-ventilated place to dry.

In this way, it is almost enough to wait for the sun to dry, chop the white one in the morning, and dry the cabbage in the afternoon.

When the weather is good, the vegetables will be dried in black and white after three to five days of drying. Sometimes it takes about seven days to dry, which mainly depends on the weather.

How far should the dried cabbage be dried? The way to judge is to pinch the leaves of the cabbage with your hands. If you can hear the rustling sound, it is just right. You don’t need to dry it to the extent that it will break when you pinch it. Just leave a little water. Easy to clean up, otherwise it will shatter when touched.

Butler Wen is particularly interested in drying dried cabbage, and he will do each process for a while.

He paid 12 points of enthusiasm, others may not know, he was thinking secretly, when the old man came, he would compare with him who did it faster.

This drying of cabbage is not physical work, it is all means of kung fu. He thinks that he will not be slower than the martial artist Lao Houye.

Butler Wen felt that he was not as good as the old marquis in digging sweet potatoes before. It might be physical work, and he should have lost in strength.

He is a little excited now!

For the first time, Butler Wen was so looking forward to the arrival of the old marquis.

He is also someone who can compete with the old marquis.

If Xu Zhizhi knew that Butler Wen thought so, she would definitely laugh out loud.

This drying of cabbage is really a tough job, especially when it is blanched, fished out and drained.

Butler Wen has only been doing it for a while, and he is still doing it one by one.

He didn't even see that Xu Feng now mastered the key points and time, and he just put them into the pot one by one.

Xu Daniu also tried every process. He smelled the smell of milk cabbage, and the fragrance was fragrant.

There was always a sense of satisfaction in his heart, and he no longer had to worry about what to eat next!

That kind of day, the days of eating the last meal but not the next are gone forever.

Especially, when he looked up and saw Wen Yuluo looking at him, his heart was as sweet as honey.
