1960s: The crazy life after the alchemy furnace became a spirit

Chapter 83 Plucking
"Pickle?"

Chen Hongxia had never heard of this kind of dish. What is kimchi? She knew that there were people from the Korean village in their family compound, and those people liked to make kimchi and other things. In addition, they were not far from the Korean village, so they would also prepare some kimchi in winter, but what was kimchi?
Is it similar to the spicy cabbage of the Korean people? Is the pickled cabbage called kimchi by the Koreans?
"Yes, the pickled vegetables made by the Korean ethnic group are also called kimchi, but there is a distinction between northern and southern kimchi. The kimchi in the south tastes sweet and sour, which is different from the kimchi made by the Korean ethnic group."

Gu Qingwu thought for a while and said that the kimchi here from the Korean ethnic group actually tasted quite good, but it was a pity that she was not familiar with anyone who could make kimchi here, otherwise she could just buy it. Well, the kimchi bought from outside was not as delicious as the one she made herself. It was not that the other party’s craftsmanship was not good, but that they were reluctant to put so many ingredients in. In addition, the fruits and vegetables produced in her space tasted better than the medicine outside.

"Oh."

Chen Hongxia immediately understood that it was a kind of pickled vegetable, similar to that of the Korean people, but the pickling method was different.

"When you pickle it, tell me so I can watch and learn from it."

Chen Hongxia thought that in winter, there were no fresh vegetables, except for cabbage and radishes, and there were only various pickles. Having one more kind of delicious pickles could make the winter a little easier.

"Okay, it's actually very simple. We just need some peppercorns, chili peppers, radishes, cabbages, etc., which are all very common."

Gu Qingwu smiled and said, for this kind of kimchi, as long as the brine does not bloom, you can keep adding new side dishes to it.

Just keep the salt water well.

Chen Hongxia didn’t know all this. She was very interested in what Gu Qingwu was talking about kimchi, and she planned to learn about it.

"I'll make some today and we'll have it ready to eat in three to five days."

Gu Qingwu thought of making some today and eating it in three or five days. If Chen Hongxia liked it, she would teach Chen Hongxia how to make some. It was very simple anyway.

"Okay, then I'm going to learn from you."

Chen Hongxia suddenly became energetic. Winter days were too hard to endure.

"How are the cucumbers in your room?"

Chen Hongxia thought of the cucumbers that Gu Qingwu planted in the room. She was curious about it now. If Gu Qingwu succeeded, she would plant some in her own room as well. If she could grow some green leafy vegetables, they would have fresh pickled vegetables in the winter.

"Some of the cucumbers died, but some were still okay."

Gu Qingwu did not let all the cucumber seedlings survive. If she thought that all of them would survive, that would be a joke. Even if the cucumbers were planted outside, not all of them would survive.

"Oh."

She was actually mentally prepared for what Gu Qingwu said. After all, cucumbers are relatively delicate. Even outside, it is not easy for them to survive. You need to pay attention to the temperature and so on.

"It's good that some of them are alive. If you can grow cucumbers successfully in the winter, you must give me two."

Chen Hongxia said with a smile, and Gu Qingwu nodded readily. The cucumbers outside were just an excuse for her to take out cucumbers from the space in winter. Anyway, no one knew what the cucumbers in her room were like. Even if they knew, couldn't she still replace them?
Yes, Gu Qingwu had already thought of replacing the original with the new one. She planned to take out a few well-growing cucumbers from the space and put them outside. Since the cucumbers outside were not bearing fruit, she would continue to replace them.

There is a cheating tool, she is so awesome.

"Well, I'll be waiting for your cucumbers." Chen Hongxia said with a smile. No matter whether Gu Qingwu could grow them successfully or not, she was happy just for Gu Qingwu's attitude. In winter, if anyone has some green leafy vegetables at home, they will definitely be the object of everyone's envy.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you dig some chive roots from your yard and plant them in pots. When the New Year comes, you can cut some chives to make dumplings. By then, everyone will be shocked."

Gu Qingwu thought of the leftover leeks and coriander. These were relatively simple and could be kept alive in the winter as long as they were carefully taken care of, especially the leek roots. As long as they were well grown, they could definitely be used to make dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

"Hey, Qingqing, how come you are so smart?"

Chen Hongxia really hadn't thought about this matter. She was only thinking about getting some soil in her room at home to grow some vegetables or something, and completely forgot about the leeks.

During the Chinese New Year, it is definitely a prestigious thing to be able to make dumplings with leeks. Although no one likes leeks in the summer, in the winter, if a family can produce leeks, they will definitely be envied.

"Plant chives or garlic cloves in the soil, don't let them see the sun, cover them with black cloth or something, and when they grow up, they will become chives or garlic greens. These two are delicious when fried with eggs, and garlic greens can also be fried with bacon."

It’s a pity that she hasn’t seen authentic bacon yet. If it really doesn’t work, she can only make some in her space. But she doesn’t know what the bacon made in her space tastes like.

"Is this still possible?"

Chen Hongxia now understood how smart Gu Qingwu was.

"I'll make it when I get home. It's winter, so I want to eat something fresh."

Chen Hongxia was in a bad mood. Gu Qingwu smiled and shook her head. She remembered that she had talked to Chen Hongxia about growing vegetables before. She didn't remember whether she had told Chen Hongxia about leeks and leek greens. Now seeing Chen Hongxia so excited, she knew that even if she had mentioned it some time ago, Chen Hongxia probably had forgotten it.

"Sister-in-law, you can take your time. The temperature is still acceptable now."

Gu Qingwu suddenly remembered that the countryside was in the autumn harvest period. Even if she went there, no one would entertain her. She decided to wait until some time had passed.

"Uh-huh."

Chen Hongxia was no longer in the mood to chat with Gu Qingwu. She wished she could go home right now. No wonder no one asked to keep Chen Hongxia. After Chen Hongxia left, Gu Qingwu started to fiddle with the cucumbers in her room.

She probably moved some cucumber seedlings into the space and replanted some. It was not that she could do that, but mainly because she thought that it would not attract too much attention. At least, with Qin Haonan's personality, he should not notice that there was something wrong with her cucumber seedlings. For her own future, Gu Qingwu decided to try harder.

“Is this tomato growing?”

Gu Qingwu looked at the tomato seedlings that had grown a lot, and with a sigh, she began to prune the tomatoes. She had to prune them. If she didn't prune the tomato branches, the nutrients would not be supplied to the flowering tomatoes, but only to the branches.

She didn't want the tomatoes she had worked so hard to grow for half a day to not bear fruit but only grow branches.

She also wants to eat tomatoes.

PS: I had a lot of trouble with the hospital these past two days. The day before yesterday, I went to the hospital, and today my child went to the hospital. Sigh, everyone must exercise well, and children must also strengthen exercise, otherwise, it will be like my child, who has had a cold for a long time and is still not getting better. I went to the hospital again to let the doctor see me again! !
