Chapter 35

    Time flies, and it has entered the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. After a snowfall on the second day of the twelfth lunar month, the sky has been getting colder day by day.

    Tomorrow is the Laba Festival, and every household has to eat Laba porridge and make Laba garlic. Li Jiaojiao has nothing to do, so she takes over the work of peeling the garlic.

    The production of Laba garlic is very simple. Peel off the garlic skin, put it in a jar, and then soak it in vinegar. After the garlic cloves turn green, you can eat it.

    The garlic soaked in vinegar loses the unique spicy taste of garlic cloves, and has a hint of sweetness. When eating steamed buns and noodles, put a few cloves, it tastes very good.

    Because Li Jiaojiao likes to eat Laba garlic, every year when cooking, she will make a few more jars at home and save them for her to eat slowly. These jars are enough for her to eat next summer.

    However, in order to ensure the integrity of the garlic, she needed to peel off the garlic skins one by one. Fortunately, Li Jiaojiao soaked the garlic in water before peeling, so it was not difficult to peel off.

    Li Jiaojiao was the only one at home. Li Qiang hadn't come back from working in the city, and Li Zhuang had to be busy until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, when the factory was on holiday.

    However, Li Tianci's carpentry plane was broken, and he needed to go to the county to buy one, so he went there with Zhao Chunmei before dawn—it seemed that the Chinese New Year was coming, Zhao Chunmei and Li Tianci went to the county together to buy Something for New Years.

    Although there is a stove in the room, Li Jiaojiao is afraid of the cold, she is wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, her slender curves are completely covered by the thick cotton jacket, she looks round and round, she has already peeled a jar of garlic , There was a thick layer of garlic skin piled up under the feet, and the two hands had been frozen red due to long-term contact with the soaked garlic cloves.

    After peeling the jar, Li Jiaojiao stopped her hands, stretched her stiff fingers, picked up a broom and a dustpan, and cleaned the garlic off the ground.

    In fact, Zhao Chunmei used to do the work of peeling garlic every year. She used to be very delicate. She was obviously a rural girl, but she seldom did these jobs. Pain her, Li Jiaojiao didn't do it, Zhao Chunmei took over.

    In the past, Li Jiaojiao never thought that there was anything wrong with peeling garlic, but after doing it this year, she realized that it was such a low-tech job, and it was quite grueling to do, and her hands hurt from the cold. , Because of the long-term peeling of the garlic, the nails will inevitably pinch into the garlic meat. The tender nail meat is soaked in the spicy taste of the garlic meat. When you touch it lightly, you will feel your fingers are burning.

    She was still raised too spoiled, and she couldn't do such a small thing well, Li Jiaojiao sighed, and walked out of the house with a dustpan full of garlic skins.

    When she was inside the house before, she didn't notice anything. When she came out, she was blown by the cold wind. Li Jiaojiao felt that her bones were going to be frozen. She couldn't help but quicken her pace and walked towards the trash can on the east side of the yard. past.

    Zhao Chunmei loves to be clean, and she asked Li Tianci to make this trash can specially. Li Tianci was skillful, and made a trash can with a lid and placed it in the yard with broken wooden boards. There were a few stones under the trash can. There is a small roof supported by plastic sheeting, so that the trash can will not be dirty when it rains or snows.
