After her husband went to the countryside (70's)

Chapter 41-50

Chapter 41

"Wasabi eats the rhizomes, but Ning Yu said that doesn't mean the leaves can't be used," Qiao Mingming said.

Zhou Pingguo knew: "My family has only eaten soup made from leaves, and it's quite edible."

This means it's not very tasty.

Qiao Mingming thought about it again: "Ning Yu also said that the petioles can also be used to make pickled vegetables."

Zhou Pingguo: "Then we haven't eaten it here before, so we don't know how to pickle it."

Tang Jiqiu: "Let's try it. If possible, I can add another dish to my family."

People at this time were too frugal.

Take radish in winter as an example. You won't peel the radish when you eat it, and you won't throw away the radish tassels.

Radish skin can be used to make pickles, and radish tassels can be even better.

Qiao Mingming ate and peeled radishes last winter, which made Cheng Yunyun, who was playing at her house, twitch the corners of her mouth.

I couldn't bear it for a long time, so I told Qiao Mingming: "First use salt to remove the water, add some vinegar and soy sauce, almost the same amount. Finally, add some minced chili garlic and sugar, it will be really delicious."

Qiao Mingming: ...Okay.

Almost every household in the countryside pickles two or three vegetables that are enough to last for more than half a year. Whenever there is no food at home, they will take some out of the vat to appetize and go with the meal.

In some people's homes, pickles and sweet potato porridge are all a meal in the winter mornings. Because it's winter, it doesn't matter if you eat less or less, so pickled vegetables are a popular thing in the countryside and even in the city.

However, Qiao Mingming thinks that pickles can also be sold, right?

There is no market now, and it would be inaccurate to say there is none.

If I didn't buy pickled vegetables, I would still be able to eat these pickled at home.

But if I buy it, I seem to be able to eat it.

This was how Qiao Mingming lived in the capital at that time. There was an old lady nearby who was from Sichuan Province. She was good at pickling cabbage and pickled radishes. The neighbors always wanted to buy some from her secretly.

Besides, the market for pickled vegetables will be really big in the future, and e-commerce is taking off.

Anyway, during the time when Qiao Mingming was taking the postgraduate entrance examination in her previous life, she made pickles every day. Mainly because I was tired, so I just cooked instant noodles with some pickles and pickles.

But time is still far away, and there is no good recipe. Let's talk about it later.

This is really a good place, Qiao Mingming sighed after observing it carefully.

Growing wasabi is quite complicated. The seedlings need to be planted for six months and then transplanted into the stream.

The stream is an excellent place for it to grow. It likes shade and humidity, and the dense woods provide it with just the right balance of seven parts yin and three parts yang, so the wasabi grew very well after transplantation.

The only thing that makes Qiao Mingming sad is that if you want to have excellent quality wasabi, you must harvest it after 18 months.

She was such a loser in farming that she always thought she could harvest it every other year, and she was excitedly planning how to sell it then. It wasn't until Ning Yu suppressed her laughter that she blushed that Qiao Mingming realized that the wasabi she planted would take a year and a half. It may even take two years to reach its best condition.
