Let’s split up if we want to. I have a system, so who should I be afraid of?
Chapter 77: Drying and Pickling Radishes
After breakfast, Su Panpan and her four children were busy preparing potato and onion seeds.
The "fox spirit" following behind had its ears erect and its eyes fixed on the two oxen and the plowing tools, full of curiosity.
As the sound of the plowshare turning over the soil came, the fox spirit ran back and forth excitedly, sometimes approaching the cow, as if trying to figure out what this strange "cow brother" was doing.
Sometimes I would run around the plowed land a few times and smell the scent of the freshly turned earth.
The children gathered around Su Panpan, their little faces full of excitement and curiosity.
"Let's plant the potatoes so we can have lots of delicious potatoes later. Come on, Qin Mu, first place the potato pieces gently into the ditch, and place them neatly."
Qin Mu nodded solemnly, picked up the small basket, carefully picked out the plump potato pieces, and put them into the ditch one by one, with a focused expression like a little adult.
At this time, Erniu finished plowing a furrow of land, walked over and said to Qin Mu with a smile: "Little guy, you did a good job!"
Qin Mu raised his little face and showed a bright smile.
"Xiaoxiao, follow your brother's example and arrange the potato cubes more beautifully."
Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes and followed Qin Mu's instructions obediently, checking from time to time to see if the potatoes she had arranged were as neatly as her brother's.
Not far away, several villagers passed by, among whom was Uncle Wang, carrying a bamboo basket filled with freshly picked wild fruits.
He shouted, "Panpan, are you taking the children to plant potatoes?"
"Yes, that's right. I have free time these two days, so I took the children to plant the land, otherwise the land will be abandoned." Su Panpan straightened up, smoothed her hair, and responded loudly with a smile.
"Qin Xiao and Yueyue, you two little ones will be responsible for gently covering the potatoes with the dirt next to them."
Su Panpan directed gently.
Qin Xiao and Yueyue immediately took action. They used small shovels to carefully cover the potatoes with the soil nearby.
Su Panpan was sowing onion seeds on the other side.
Just as the children were busy, Linlin and Sisi ran over hand in hand.
"Qin Mu, Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, Yueyue, we are here to play with you!" Linlin's clear voice rang out in the fields.
"We are planting potatoes. Let's play later." Qin Mu raised his head.
Yueyue also waved happily: "Linlin, Sisi, let's play together after we finish planting potatoes."
Linlin and Sisi watched them busying around and came over curiously. "Third Aunt, let's help too," Sisi said.
"Do you want to try it too? Sure!"
So, Linlin and Sisi also joined the potato planting team.
Su Panpan corrected the children's movements from time to time.
Provide timely encouragement for good performance.
“Great job!”
After two days of hard work, Erniu finished turning the land.
There are neat rows of ditches, and the newly turned soil is like deep brown brocade.
After a few days, Su Panpan and the children finally finished planting the potatoes and onions.
This vast land is like a majestic painting spread between heaven and earth.
The mountains in the distance are rolling and form a picturesque contrast with the land.
The work was done, and the vegetable garden was full of radishes. Su Panpan thought of picking some to dry and pickle.
Stir-fry bacon with dried radish, add some dried chili segments and garlic leaves, it goes really well with rice, I’m drooling just thinking about it.
He did it right away and took his four children to the vegetable field.
Su Panpan bent down, held a radish leaf with both hands, and pulled it gently, and a juicy radish was pulled out.
"Come, help me pick radishes."
Qin Mu was the first to rush forward. He imitated his mother, grasped the radish leaves tightly with his little hands, and pulled hard. He successfully pulled out a big radish.
Xiaoxiao, Qin Xiao and Yueyue were not to be outdone and joined the team pulling out radishes.
Soon, the ground was filled with radishes of all sizes.
It took four baskets to finish picking.
After returning to the yard, the children carefully scrubbed each radish.
Su Panpan cut the radish into even strips.
Then, Su Panpan brought a large basin, put the cut radish strips in it, and sprinkled an appropriate amount of salt on it.
"Xiaoxiao, come and help stir it."
Xiaoxiao immediately stretched out her little hand. Her hand was white and tender. She gently reached into the basin and held the chopsticks.
Her eyes were fixed on the radish strips, and she turned the chopsticks carefully.
The radish strips were slowly turned over by the chopsticks, making a slight "rustling" sound.
After stirring evenly, Su Panpan let the radish strips sit for a while.
While waiting, Su Panpan began to prepare the seasoning for the pickling.
She took out sugar, white vinegar, boiled water, and some shredded ginger and garlic.
Su Panpan explained to the children while preparing: "Qin Mu, look, sugar can make the radish sweet, and white vinegar will make the radish sour, so it will taste good."
Qin Mu nodded, not quite understanding.
After the moisture of the radish strips was extracted, Su Panpan took the children to pour out the water from the radish strips, and then put the shredded ginger and garlic into the basin.
Then, she mixed sugar, white vinegar and boiled water in a certain proportion and slowly poured them into the basin.
"Qin Xiao, Yueyue, look, the radish strips have become more beautiful now." The two little guys looked at the radish strips in the basin with sparkling eyes.
Finally, Su Panpan found a few clean large jars and put the pickled radish strips into them.
"Let's put it in a cool place and it will be ready to eat in a few days."
"Mom, can I taste it now?" Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"Sure, but it's not as tasty now!"
The remaining white radish was cut into thick slices, placed in a large wooden basin, and pickled with a lot of salt.
After the water is removed from the pickling, continue to rub the radish a few times.
Qin Xiao suddenly pointed at a radish that had not been cut yet and said, "Sister, do you think this radish looks like a fat baby?"
"Wow, so cute." Xiaoxiao was moving a stool into the yard, intending to put the bamboo sieve on it.
Su Panpan found a clean bamboo sieve and spread the radish strips evenly on it.
The sun shines warmly on the radish strips.
"We need to dry the radish strips." The children gathered around the bamboo sieve excitedly.
They were dried under ten bamboo sieves, filling the entire yard.
During the drying process, the children came over from time to time to check on the progress of the dried radishes.
After a few days of drying, the radish slices finally turned into dried radish.
Su Panpan happily collected the dried radishes and put them into a clean large cloth bag.
The bag was filled with things that were half as tall as Su Panpan. Looking at this huge bag, Su Panpan was filled with joy of harvest and a sense of accomplishment.
"Our dried radish is ready! It will be delicious when used in soups and stir-fries."
The children cheered, there were so many dried radishes.
