Chapter 99: Going back to the village to pickle sauerkraut

When Yuan Xiaoling saw Wang Bo's concerned look on his face, the nervousness and fear she had just felt came back to her and she couldn't help but shed tears.

Choking with sobs, he told Wang Bai about his experience. Wang Bai was so angry that he wanted to rush over to settle the score with that group of people, but Lin Mo stopped him.

After venting her anger just now, Lin Mo felt much better and regained her rationality. She said to Wang Bo, "My cousin and his gang must have planned this. If we go there, we will just deliver the goods to their doorstep! Let's go to the police station and report the case! We are just ordinary people. We can't act impulsively when encountering such things. Let's leave it to professionals."

In this way, Lin Mo followed Wang Bai to the Public Security Bureau to report the case, and then rode Wang Bai's bicycle back to the village.

As soon as Lin Mo and Wang Bai arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw Wang Jianshe and Lin Daniu waiting anxiously at the entrance. Seeing Lin Mo jump out of the back seat of the car, Lin Daniu asked:

"Why are you back just now? It's almost nine o'clock. Aren't you usually home before six?"

Wang Bai wanted to tell Lin Da Nv what Lin Mo had just said to him, but was stopped by Lin Mo. Lin Mo said to Wang Jianshe and Lin Da Nv: "Uncle and aunt, this is a long story. Let's talk about it when we get home!"

Since Wang Bai was riding Lin Mo's bicycle, he had agreed with Lin Mo that if Lin Mo came back early from school in the afternoon, he would wait for Wang Bai at the state-owned restaurant for a while and let Wang Bai take Lin Mo back by bicycle.

In the previous month when Lin Mo went to school, he had to wait for the original owner's mother to come back every Friday, so Lin Mo agreed. Anyway, Wang Bo usually got off work at 5:30, so he could be home before 6 o'clock at the latest.

But this time, Wang Jianshe and Lin Danniu waited until six o'clock but Wang Bo and Lin Mo still didn't come back. They became anxious and asked Liu Pan'er to look after the children at home. They both went to the village entrance to wait. They had agreed that if they didn't come back by nine o'clock, they would go to the commune to look for them.

After returning home with Wang Jianshe and Lin Danniu, Lin Danniu quickly brought the food she had saved for Lin Mo and Wang Bo to the dining table on the kang.

After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Lin Mo felt full in his stomach, so he told his uncle and aunt what had happened to him.

When Lin Da Nv heard this, she quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks, grabbed Lin Mo's hand, and checked Lin Mo up and down. Only when she saw that Lin Mo was not injured did she put down her worry.

Lin Mo talked with Wang Jianshe's family for a while, looked at the knee pads that Liu Paner made with a sewing machine, and then returned to his home.

Lin Mo returned to his own space and took a bath to calm down his frightened mood today, then went back to his soft big bed on the second floor of the space to sleep.

The next morning, Lin Mo, who had had a good sleep, got up from the big bed in a good mood. He went to the first floor to make a delicious breakfast. After finishing his breakfast slowly, Lin Mo changed into a long coat and long pants and left the space.

Feeling the slightly chilly weather today, Lin Mo went back into the house and put on a thin coat before going to the backyard to prepare for today's work.

Seeing that the cabbages in the backyards of the two houses had grown lushly, Lin Mo happily decided that she would start pickling sauerkraut today.

Wearing work gloves, Lin Mo first picked up all the cabbages, then cleaned up all the old and bad leaves on the cabbages, and then used space to move the cabbages to the kitchen.

I went to the old yard again and cleaned all the unused large and small jars, and then used the space to move these large and small jars to the kitchen of the new house.

After finding the coarse salt from the space, Lin Mo began to prepare to make sauerkraut!

Lin Mo cut all the cabbages in half, cut a knife in the upper middle part of half the cabbage, and set it aside for later use.

Then use the detergent in the space to clean the two large pots in the kitchen to ensure that there is no grease in the pots. Then start adding water to the pots and add firewood to the stove to boil the water.

Seeing that the water was boiling, Lin Mo put the Chinese cabbage in the pot to blanch it, with the stems facing down and the leaves facing up. After about two minutes, the Chinese cabbage became soft.

Lin Mo took out the cabbage and drained it until it was cool inside and out.

Then he arranged the cabbages neatly in the freshly cleaned jars. Of course, Lin Mo cleaned all the jars thoroughly to ensure there were no grease or impurities.

Then repeat the action, put a layer of cabbage and sprinkle some coarse salt on it, put a layer of cabbage and sprinkle another layer of coarse salt.

In this way, layer by layer of salt and cabbage are placed on top in order, and the cabbage is tightly stacked in the jar.

Then add firewood to boil the water used to blanch the cabbage, let it cool, and pour it into the sauerkraut jar.

Then press a big stone on top, and a jar of sauerkraut is ready.

After a day or two, water will seep out of the cabbage and there will be obvious bubbles on the water surface, which means that the sauerkraut is fermenting.

If the water level is below the cabbage, add boiled water until it covers the cabbage. If there is too much water, drain some of it and then cover it with a lid.

Of course, Lin Mo needs to go to school to add water later, so she will hand this matter over to Lin Da Nv before she leaves.

In this way, Lin Mo spent a day to pickle half of the cabbage in the backyard into sauerkraut, and also cut all the ripe cucumbers and radishes into strips and put them outside to dry.

Lin Mo put away the other half of the cabbage and some radishes she had specially saved, and walked towards the cellar that Wang Bai and Wang Jianshe had dug for him.

The cellar of Lin Mo's house is under the utility room in the old courtyard of Lin Mo's house. The entrance to the cellar is also inside the utility room. After lifting the wooden board on top, Lin Mo went down to the bottom of the cellar along the inverted soft ladder next to it.

Wang Bai and Wang Jianshe took five days to dig the cellar. The cellar was a square earth pit. Because it was close to the freezing season, the soil was sticky, and the four walls were evenly distributed after being beaten hard with shovels, and it did not collapse like in summer.

The cellar is about 2 meters deep. Lin Mo can clearly see how deep the permafrost layer is inside, which is about 0.8 meters. It is covered with thick ice. The soil temperature below the permafrost layer is a few degrees above zero, so there is only frost, which is different.

There are now two bags of sweet potatoes and two bags of potatoes neatly stacked in the cellar of Lin Mo's house. These were what his uncle's family received when they distributed grain this year.

Originally, they wanted to exchange some more refined rice and flour for Lin Mo, but Lin Mo refused. Seeing that his uncle's family was particularly insistent on giving him food, Lin Mo took these things.

After transferring out all the cabbages he had just stored in the space and arranging them neatly, Lin Mo stepped onto the ladder and left the cellar.

In order to reassure his uncle's family, Lin Mo prepared to go to the commune with a backpack, take out the food he had saved, and store it in the cellar.
