There was also joy in the Zhu family's yard.

At the dinner table, the men of the Zhu family were chattering away, and the excitement of the day had not yet passed.

"Hahaha... You haven't seen it. Uncle Lao Qiao was dumbfounded when I saw it. He couldn't believe that our grains had grown so much."

"Isn't that right? Uncle Zhu Jia is holding on to the handful of grains and is reluctant to let go."

"What's going on here? Our millet has just been harvested, and people have already begun to inquire with me, asking if our family will keep any seeds, and want to exchange grain crops with ours."

…

Madam Liu, Madam Liu, Madam Li, and Madam Lin also had smiles on their faces and interjected a few words from time to time.

A bumper harvest is a joy.

If you can have one or two more baskets of grain this year, and one or two more baskets next year, are you still worried about not having enough food to eat?

Old Man Zhu completely forgot about his bet with Ye Yuran, and only thought about being happy: "Is our family an ordinary family? Our family has a little less land, but more people. More people means more labor, as long as there are more

No matter how hard you work, your life will be better than theirs."

He even took all the credit on himself, saying that it was all due to his good leadership and hard work with a group of sons, otherwise how could he have achieved the current harvest?

This year we have a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes and rice, so we will definitely not go hungry in the winter.

Oh, by the way, there is also a batch of winter sweet potatoes that have not yet been confiscated.

Seeing the joy in the room, Ye Yuran didn't want to pour cold water on them, but he had to calm them down: "What are you thinking about? One more basket today, one more basket next year, one more basket the year after that. What else can you do?"

Do you really think that the land can grow gold? The amount is growing year by year, and in ten years it will double. One acre of land can support a family? No matter how long that thing grows, it is not millet. It can grow bigger than an egg?

"

Suddenly, the room became quiet.

——Holy shit?! Yes, millet is not just millet. No matter how long it grows, it can be bigger than an egg?

——Then doesn’t this mean that if there is an extra basket today, there won’t be much next year?!

"Mom, next year...then next year, we can only accept these?" Zhu Er felt that his dream was shattered.

Ye Yuran was helpless and said: "Increasing income can increase income, but there must be a limit to how much you can earn. It's just like eating. You don't feel full after one bowl, and you feel less than full after two bowls. You can still eat more."

Eating ten bowls and hundreds of bowls in one meal? I won’t tire you to death.”

"I understand, what mother means is that this millet didn't have enough food before, so it was small. Now that it has enough food, it is bigger. But it is full, and it will not grow as big if it eats more.

, that’s about it.” Zhu Si said while looking at Zhu San, the tallest person in the family.

At the beginning, he wanted to eat more, grow taller, and preferably be better than his third brother.

It's just a pity that no matter how much he eats, he is not as tall as his third brother. And his third brother, when he reaches a certain level, he doesn't grow much.

——Hey, no, the food is good this year, and the third brother seems to have grown taller.

But he also knew that no matter how high it was, it couldn't be any higher, it was almost there.

A bunch of people were a little disappointed.

The disappointed old man Zhu was a little disappointed. He glared at Ye Yuran: "You old woman, can't you make everyone happy for a while?"

Ye Yuran rolled his eyes: "I'm telling the truth, not a lie. Don't the hens we raise at home also lay a certain number of eggs? If they are fed well, they will lay more eggs and be bigger, but no matter how many eggs they have, they will lay more eggs."

Even if it is large, it is impossible to jump beyond a certain number. No wonder this millet is an exception. It can also become sperm and grow into eggs?"

"You..." Old Man Zhu choked, "I'm too lazy to care about you."

Holding the bowl in his arms, he started chewing fiercely.

Because today was the autumn harvest and they had been busy all day, Ye Yuran asked his daughters-in-law to cook solid rice, one bowl for each person, stir-fry a few vegetables, and mix in a pickled cabbage vermicelli for appetizer.

Sauerkraut is soaked in ceramics. Boil boiling water, pour it into a dry jar, and sprinkle a little salt on it. Then wash the white radish and cabbage picked from the ground, dry them, and throw them in to soak.

.

On this hot day, the sour taste can be brewed in four or five days.

This kind of soaking method was also the first time for the Zhu family’s daughters-in-law. In the past, the vegetables were either pickled or dried to make dry goods. Unexpectedly, they could still be soaked?!

The sour and sour taste is completely different from pickling. Sprinkling a little salt or a little sweet jam will make people want to eat it again, which is very greedy.

A jar of kimchi is not eaten at all, and is added to it every three days.

Ye Yuran saw that this was not the solution, so he taught them to use kimchi as a side dish, stir-fry or cool it with other vegetables, and create different styles. In this way, even if the pickle is sour, it can still be eaten.

Recently, there is a dish with sauerkraut base, which is especially popular with the Zhu family.

After the vermicelli in this pickled cabbage vermicelli is boiled, cut it into finger lengths, one section at a time, and then mix it with the pickled cabbage, with a few pinches per person, and the bottom will soon come out.

Even Zhu San, Zhu Qi, Dabao and Erbao, who rarely went home to eat this food, also liked it very much.

"Mom, this sauerkraut is very delicious. I'll pack some of it next time. I'll take it to the school to eat, especially for dinner." Zhu San said as he ate.

"Don't worry, I asked the old man to keep the one for you." Ye Yuran said, "This kind of soaked one will become sour over time if not left alone. I asked the old man to make the other two kinds. When the time comes,

You eat the pickled kimchi first, and then eat the dried kind..."

"It's okay, Mom, when it's done, I'll take the pickle jar with me. You teach me how to do it. After I finish eating, I can also get some ready-made ones." Zhu San didn't think that this kind of thing could trouble him at all.

.

How can a man from the Zhu family not know how to cook?

Not too good, but able to support yourself.

After hearing this, Zhu Si quickly said: "Third brother, let me help you. I told you, I learned it, and I helped clean up the jar I am eating now. Don't you think I make it taste better?"

"

"Okay, you can help me get it. Anyway, I just want to have something to eat."

Zhu Si looked mysterious: "Third brother, don't you want to know what my secret recipe is?"

"Why should I learn this? It's not like doing business."

Before Zhu Si could say anything, Mrs. Li laughed from the side: "Third brother, you are right. Let me tell you, our business has been popular for a while since we added sauerkraut. The recent autumn harvest has been

Several people came to place orders with me, so I asked my fourth brother to help me pack several cans. When the third brother left, he asked me to pick them up directly."

"That's good. I can definitely trust Lao Si's craftsmanship. No matter how bad the things he makes are, they won't be any worse."

Ye Yuran didn't expect that a jar of sauerkraut would be more popular with the family than sweet potato starch, and it would become a hot commodity.

But think about it, sweet potato starch is not often available. It is food and must be eaten every few days. But kimchi is different. It is a vegetable from the ground and can be made at any time. Not only is it not afraid of waste, but it can also be paired with anything.

.

I love sweet potato noodles and I’m embarrassed to say it, but why don’t I try some kimchi?
