Chopping garlic into foam is too troublesome. Ji Congzhe said that he would go to the next door house and ask if they had a mortar for pounding garlic.

Unexpectedly, when Lin Zhen bought the pig tail, he actually bought a stone mortar. The mouth of this stone mortar was as big as a palm, and it also came with a round pounding stick with a small top and a thick bottom. In addition, Ji Congzhe looked through the bag and saw that he also bought a casserole and a small stove.

"Why are you buying a casserole?"

Lin Zhen said, "You can stew eggs and stew porridge. When the weather gets cold, you can also have hot pot. It's too troublesome to use a coal stove. And don't you like hot pot?"

Ji Congzhe smiled and patted her. He patted him on the shoulder and praised, "You are still careful."

With the garlic smashing tool, he poured the garlic cloves into the stone mortar, grabbed the wooden stick and started pounding it "dang, dang, dang, dang."

The watermelon and even the pig tail were forgotten, and he sat in the baby chair and stared curiously.

The peppers were completely drained after being dried for a long time. Lin Zhen put the red and green peppers on the chopping board, cut them in half into strips, and then diced them. Then he grabbed a kitchen knife and chopped them quickly and forcefully, finally making him sneeze.

Ji Congzhe's garlic was mashed, and Lin Zhen's peppers were also chopped. Wang Xiaoyan said it would taste better if she cut some more shredded ginger, so Lin Zhen took another ginger and cut some shredded ginger.

The most important thing for pickled things is moisture in the container. Lin Zhen went to the well to retrieve an earthenware jar. The sun was still very hot during the day in September, so these earthenware jars that were turned upside down by the well were not only dry but even a little hot. .

So after the temperature dropped, Ji Congzhe mixed the mashed garlic and chopped chili peppers, added shredded ginger and poured it in through the round opening. Then he added a few handfuls of salt and an appropriate amount of sugar, and finally moved the bowl to the mouth of the jar. One buckle and it can be stored for a long time.

The cowpeas were also pickled that night and put into two earthen jars. After the others are cooked, put them on a round dustpan and take them to the small yard to dry in the sun tomorrow.

Now that the weather has cooled down at night, the family of three no longer goes to the terrace to enjoy the cool air. They can sit and chat with the neighbors under the eaves of the old house without feeling stuffy.

The watermelon was being taken care of by the neighbors, and Ji Congzhe and Lin Zhen had to pack some things and go over there. So they carried the earthen jars filled with pickled products to the small courtyard, and then put the things in the kitchen of the south house and placed them one by one against the wall.

Lin Zhen took a ladle and scooped up a spoonful of water, pouring it onto the edge of the inverted bowl of the earthen jar, thus creating a sealing effect.

The kitchen now has white walls and a concrete floor, with a solitary new stove covered with white tiles.

Ji Congzhe glanced around, thinking about adding something to the kitchen later, so he pointed to a corner and said to Lin Zhen, "Put the cabinets against the wall over there, and move the water tank from the old house over here next to the stove." "The dining table is right under the window."

Lin Zhen said, "The cupboard in the old house has been used for too long, and it has become moldy, and it is also rotten in several places. Let's rebuild it.
