Chapter 256 Ginseng Wine and Pickled Cabbage
Chapter 256 Ginseng Wine and Pickled Cabbage
In the evening, Liu Jingxue planned to go to the cowshed and deliver some things.
There were a lot of things to be delivered this time, so she prepared a shoulder pole and a backpack.
At one end of the shoulder pole was a 50-jin jar of ginseng wine, and at the other end was a jar of sauerkraut.
The sauerkraut has been pickled for a month and a half. Zhang Guiying had previously instructed that the sauerkraut can be eaten in just one month.
She even waited for another half a month before delivering it to the cowshed.
Next to the wine jar and the sauerkraut jar, Liu Jingxue also placed some grain and some vegetables.
Liu Jingxue prepared 60 kilograms of fish in the backpack, which had already been processed using her spiritual sense in the space.
This fish is not the winter fish we got today, but the fish farmed in the space.
Liu Jingxue specifically picked the same species of fish as the one she got during today's winter catch.
After picking the fish back this afternoon, Liu Jingxue made a dish in the evening using the fish she had just divided today.
After eating it, she was greatly disappointed.
The taste of the fish is far inferior to the ones raised in his own space, and even worse than the fish he got from the fish bubble last time.
Liu Jingxue immediately decided not to eat the fish caught in the winter herself. She would keep some fresh and make the rest into cured fish to keep for trading with Sister Jin.
The fish provided to the cowshed, as well as the fish sent to my eldest brother, Grandpa Zhang, and Aunt Wu, were all replaced with cured fish made from fish raised in the space.
After all, everything produced in the space contains spiritual energy, and eating more of it is good for their bodies.
Liu Jingxue decided that next time she sent a package to her elder brother, she would also send them some cured fish.
The main reason is that there are too many fish produced in the space, and more people are needed to share the burden.
Although their place is an island, there is no shortage of fish.
But mine is freshwater fish and theirs is sea fish, the species and taste are different.
Besides, other people want to eat fish that contain spiritual energy but cannot, so why should they be picky?
It was six o'clock in the afternoon and it was not completely dark yet. Liu Jingxue did not plan to wait any longer.
After scanning with her spiritual sense and making sure that there was no one around, she carried the load and the backpack and walked towards the cowshed.
As she walked, she used her spiritual sense to smooth out her footprints.
Tuanzi said that using spiritual consciousness more often is also a way to cultivate spiritual consciousness, and it also helps to increase spiritual consciousness.
Now, Liu Jingxue does everything that can be done with spiritual consciousness by herself and no longer uses Tuanzi.
But some things that I can't do have to be done by Tuanzi.
For example, when he is in the space, Tuanzi has to monitor the situation outside.
I can't do what a person does in space, but my spiritual consciousness can be used outside the space.
The four people in the cowshed finished their meal early and sat on the kang in the outer room, listening to the radio.
Hearing the knock on the door, Wang Xiulan said, "I guess it's Xiaoxue coming."
Liu Weihua didn't even put on his cotton trousers. He picked up a thick cotton jacket beside him and put it on, then went to open the gate.
After seeing through the crack in the door that the person standing outside was indeed Liu Jingxue, Liu Weihua unbolted the door and opened the gate.
Looking at the load and backpack Liu Jingxue was carrying, Liu Weihua was surprised.
"Xiaoxue, how did you get so many things?"
Seeing that his uncle didn't wear his cotton-padded jacket properly, and even his cotton-padded pants, Liu Jingxue said, "Uncle, it's too cold outside. Let's go inside first."
It had stopped snowing for three days and the snow in the yard had long been cleared.
As Liu Jingxue walked, she pushed the ground hard to shake off the snow on her boots to avoid bringing the snow into the house.
Carrying a load on her back and a backpack, Liu Jingxue walked straight into the house.
After putting her things down, she greeted the three people.
Feeling a little hot, she quickly took off her hat, gloves and military coat.
Liu Jingxue pointed to a jar of wine beside her and said to Wang Xiulan, "Aunt, this jar contains 50 kilograms of ginseng wine, which has only been brewed for a few days.
You said that ginseng wine needs to be soaked for at least a month before it can be consumed.
You must remember the date and drink it after a month."
In fact, this ginseng wine has been brewed for a year, but the others don’t know that they have the cheating device of the time array, so naturally they can only say that it has only been brewed for a few days.
Moreover, the ginseng I used was more than 500 years old. If I soak it for a longer time, the effect of the ginseng will be brought into play and the benefits will be greater.
As soon as the fifty-jin can of wine was drunk, Grandpa Zou and Grandpa Wu on the kang, as well as Liu Weihua who had just returned from behind the fork gate, all started laughing.
Seeing the three of them laughing so worthlessly, Wang Xiulan said, "You three should be satisfied now.
It's because Xiaoxue spoiled you that she made so much wine for you and even used ginseng to make the wine."
"Satisfied, satisfied, what else are we not satisfied with?" said Liu Weihua.
Grandpa Wu smacked his lips. "50 kilograms of wine may seem like a lot, but if the three of us were to drink for a year, we would only be able to have one glass occasionally."
“Of course, I can only drink it occasionally.
This is ginseng wine, and you are going to chew the peony like a cow and drink it as ordinary wine. Aren't you afraid of nosebleeds?" Wang Xiulan was speechless.
Liu Jingxue smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa Wu, I have prepared 100 kilograms of wine for you.
There is another jar of ginseng soaked in it, which I have.
When you finish this jar, I will bring you another one."
"Xiaoxue, just spoil them." Wang Xiulan was somewhat impressed by her niece's generosity.
"Aunt, you should drink this ginseng wine too, it will help you recover.
At first glance, 100 kilograms may seem like a lot, but if you think about it, if four people drink it for a year, it would only be a few kilograms a month.
I would like to get more, but I have no other way except in the village.
Having so many kilograms of wine in the village at once is already very eye-catching, so I dare not have more. "
Liu Jingxue explained, "From 250 kilograms of sorghum, we got a total of 133 kilograms of wine, which I used to soak ginseng.
I'll give you 100 kilograms, and after the other 33 kilograms are thawed, I'll send them to my eldest brother, Grandpa Zhang, and Aunt Wu.
I have to leave some for my second brother, and I don’t know when he will be able to contact my eldest brother.”
After finishing speaking, Liu Jingxue realized that she shouldn't have mentioned her second brother who had no news, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Aunt, you have to keep an eye on them. Don't let them start drinking after less than a month."
Before Wang Xiulan had time to think about her second son, she was interrupted by Liu Jingxue.
"Xiaoxue, don't worry, I will take good care of it," Wang Xiulan assured.
Liu Jingxue patted another jar and said, "This is the pickled cabbage I asked the captain's family to make. It's ready to eat now.
I'll get you a jar first.
I have two jars, one large and one small. I'll bring them to you after you finish eating."
Thinking that it would be difficult for uncle and his family to move these two jars, Liu Jingxue said,
"Aunt, where are these two jars? Please show me the way and I will move them there."
Under the guidance of Wang Xiulan, Liu Jingxue hid the ginseng wine in a secret cellar and placed the sauerkraut jar in the original cellar of the cowshed.
Wang Xiulan asked Liu Jingxue to sit down and rest while she and Liu Weihua sorted out other things.
"Xiaoxue, why don't you keep the fish for yourself? Why did you send so many to us?
I don’t know when I’ll finish the two baskets of food you sent me last time.”
"I got 50 kilograms last time and I didn't eat much yet. This time it's 100 kilograms. How can I eat so much by myself?
If you don't share some of the burden with me, I won't be able to finish the fish at every meal.
No matter how delicious the fish is, you will get tired of it if you eat it every time.
Didn’t you pickle a lot of salted fish last time? Don’t pickle them this time. Just bury them in the snow and eat them fresh.
Save the salted fish for later."
Fish that contain spiritual energy will inevitably lose some of its spiritual energy after being pickled, so Liu Jingxue told them to eat fresh ones.
"Okay, it's up to you."
Wang Xiulan instructed Liu Weihua, who was standing by, "Weihua, stuff these fish into the snow pile one by one.
Put it in a separate pile with the meat and frozen pears to avoid the flavors mixing. "
Liu Jingxue sat on the kang and asked Old Man Wu, "Grandpa Wu, have you finished writing your letter?
If it's finished, I'll go to town tomorrow morning and put it in the package and send it out."
"It's already been written. It's already been written."
As Old Man Wu spoke, he took out a letter he had prepared earlier from his chest.
Just as he was about to hand it to Liu Jingxue, he thought for a moment, went to find a pen, and added a few more words at the end of the letter.
After all, it was someone else's privacy, so Liu Jingxue did not use her spiritual sense to investigate.
After Grandpa Wu handed her the letter, she took it and put it in her pocket.
