The Petite Wife of the First Family - Chapter 246

   Chapter 246 Dried radish

   Father Xu praised his face very much: “Zhiming, you are amazing, the cabbage was thrown into the basket by you like this, and there was no damage at all. How did you do it?”

  Su Zhiming said humbly: “Second Uncle, we use our internal strength to control our strength. This way of working is not only easy and labor-saving, but also has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.”

   “Really! It’s a whole basket in such a short time, oops! Brother, let’s do our best!”

   “Young Master Xiao, go and help the fairy girl to dry the cabbage! You can leave him alone here.”

joke! Just Xiao Jingheng and Su Zhiming cut cabbage roots together, they can’t win no matter how hard they work!

   Xiao Jingheng went to dry the cabbage for the sake of Butler Wen.

  It is like this, and now the two of them still have no chance to stop.

  Su Zhiming learned the trick from his idol (Xu Xiaowu told him that the object of his worship is called an idol), just like opening a hang, the action is extremely quick.

   Brain! What a good thing! He felt light and at ease, and three times faster.

  Unfortunately, I soon heard Xia He calling for dinner, everyone is chasing after me, everyone is full of energy, and they still have nothing to do!

   Father Xu shouted: “Let’s go, we all wash our hands and eat.”

  The Xu family has lunch, pork ribs and radish soup, braised pork, hot and sour fat sausage, spicy rabbit, and cabbage.

  Every dish that Su Zhiming tasted was delicious, and he also knew that when he was eating, he would eat in silence.

  Xu Daniu and Xu Xiaowu practiced the inner strength and mind method, which looked very relaxed and effortless.

   Actually, they are very physically exhausting, and they also bow their heads to eat.

   Butler Wen was chased by Su Zhiming later, his hands were sore when picking vegetables and leaves, but he was not slow to eat.

   Everyone was almost full, and finally Xu Daniu and Su Zhiming mixed a vegetable bowl each.

   After eating radishes, Su Zhiming thought of dried radishes again. He asked, “Sister Zhizhi, shall we go to dry the dried radishes in the afternoon?”

   “Okay! We’ll go to the sun in the afternoon. I’ll talk about the main points first, and then you can choose what you are good at.”

   “Okay, fairy girl, tell me! Do you want me to take a paper and a pen to write it down?”

   “Don’t do it! It’s actually very simple, you just need to remember it roughly, and then you will memorize it by heart after practice.”

   “Okay then! Fairy girl, please speak slowly, all of you will give me your ears.”

   About drying dried radish, different people have many different practices.

  Some people pickle it with salt and then dry it, while others directly dry it. In fact, both of these methods are wrong.

If you want to dry the dried radish, first take out the radish, wash the radish, remove the head and tail, without peeling, the dried radish with the skin will be more crispy, then first cut the radish into thick slices, and then cut To grow strips, do not cut too finely, because the radish will shrink a lot after drying.

   Then put the cut radish strips, we first spread it flat, put it outside for a day, and the next day, when the radish is a little soft, you can put the radish away.

   Then we evenly sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt on the radish strips, fully grasp and knead with our hands, let the radish fully absorb the salt, and marinate for one night.

   Then put the pickled radish strips in the sun again to dry for two or three days, until most of the water in the radish strips has evaporated, and the two ends are rolled up.

  It is best to dry until 70-80% dry. Put the sun-dried radish strips in a bag, tie the bag tightly, and take it out to dry slightly after a period of time. It will not be damaged after a year.

  Xu Zhizhi said the whole process of drying dried radish, and added:

   “The fried bacon with dried radish is a very delicious dish.”

  Su Zhiming said, “It’s as simple as that! Then we’ll be drying for a few days in a row, and this time I’m going to bring some back to eat for the Chinese New Year, okay?”

   Father Xu said, “Okay, okay, I’ll take some bacon back and give it to your friends.”

   “Really! Last night’s bacon was delicious!”

  Xu Zhizhi took the opportunity to sell her bacon:

   “Really, you can have a new dish in your military camp for the New Year, fried bacon with dried radish, you can buy the bacon from our family, and I will give you a 20% discount for your camp.”

  Su Zhiming asked: “Sister Zhizhi, did you know that? Our military camp will eat thousands of pounds for a New Year’s meal?”

   “I just knew it! I just said I’d sell it to your barracks! If you want 100 catties, we’ll give it to you!”

  Su Zhiming was shocked: “Do you have thousands of pounds of bacon?”

   “There are tens of thousands of catties! We plan to sell a large batch of dried radishes to Zuixianglou in Los Angeles after the new year.”

   “Ding dong!”

   Butler Wen’s chopsticks fell to the ground in shock!

   “Fairy…girl…tou, we have tens of thousands of catties of bacon?”

   “Well! Xianggong and I go into the mountains every day to hunt wild boars and smoke bacon!”

   “My mother! I see you come back empty-handed every day, thinking you haven’t caught anything?”

   Father Xu also said in shock.

   “Yeah! I thought you didn’t catch it? I’m embarrassed to ask every time!”

   When Su Zhiming heard the words of Servant Wen, he could finally ridicule him:

   “Wen Shi-Lang, what do you think? How does your housekeeper do? You don’t know how much your family earns?”

  The big housekeeper Wen said weakly: “Isn’t this still not for sale? There is no income yet?”

  How could he forget! Many people came here with his daughter and son!

   Those people never showed up, so he forgot!

   Butler Wen only remembered now that when he first came to Xu’s house, there were three young men eating together.

   Later, he never saw them eat, but he often saw them bring wild boar back.

   There are also bacon, winter bamboo shoots, pheasant, hare…

   OMG! They have smoked tens of thousands of catties of bacon?

  So, how much do you know?

   Butler Wen was initially afraid that the Xu family would not be able to support their father and son, which is ridiculous!

   Now, slap in the face, there are too many people to support!

   Moreover, the food, clothing, and expenses of those people are not billed to him, and they also send meat to the family every day.

   Butler Wen’s admiration for Xu Zhizhi and Xiao Jingheng has risen to a higher level!

   He thought about it so much in just one breath, when he heard the crisp voice of the fairy girl:

   “Yes, I haven’t had time to start selling, so I didn’t say it. When the money comes in, I’ll know it naturally.”

   “Ow…Ow…Hurry up to work and dry the radishes.”

  Su Zhiming said excitedly as if he had been beaten with blood.

   “Xu Feng and I are going to pull the radish, we will pick it up, and you will pick the rest.”

  Xia He continued, “Qiu Ju and I are responsible for washing the radishes.”

  Wen Yushu said, “My sister and I will cut the radishes. Dad, you and Uncle Xu put our cut pieces and put them in the sun to dry.”

   “Okay, you don’t need any strength or skill to place the radish sticks. We will definitely win this time.”

   Butler Wen said cheerfully.
