Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang

 Spring came and went quickly, and Xu He completed the month of confinement and took care his body properly. Although he was no different from before, but he had two babies at home that needed constant care. This spring he couldn't even go out to pick wild vegetables.

    The chickens and ducks were raised in the old house, and the second aunt and fourth aunt went to take care of them. The ducks grew fast. Besides feeding, they only needed to drive them to the river, and there was no need to work too much.

    The whole family wanted to take care of him, and they felt that he was like a great hero, and there was no work left for him, so he could only take care of his two children wholeheartedly.

    Although the two children were small, they were worry-free child. When they were full, they went to sleep, and when they woke up, the two of them would only lie on the bed and kick their legs. There was no need for Xu He to coax them too much.

    The leisure days became full of tiredness, and Xu He was the one who had the most time to spare. When both his hands were empty he became agitated, so he had to collect some soybeans and hot peppers in the village, and made some jars of food at home.

    The old tofu was cut into cubes, placed in a cool and ventilated place. Let it ferment for about ten days, and later a layer of fine white fluff would grow on the tofu. After that the fermented tofu was sterilized with white wine, mixed it with chilies and other ingredients, and then put it into a sealed jar. Ten days later, the fermented tofu was ready.

    Xu He had eaten it once when he went to a banquet before. He only picked it up a little bit with his chopsticks, and the taste of fermented tofu was enough to spread all over his mouth.

    He made two kinds of fermented tofu, one was spicy red fermented tofu made by mixing minced ginger, chilies, and Sichuan pepper powder, and the other was plain white fermented tofu, the tofu wasn't mixed with chilies.

    He had seen white fermented tofu in the mutton restaurant in the city,  put it in a bowl and the dipping sauce was made from broth. He had never eaten it, but he had seen the diners lingering in the mutton restaurant. The smell of mutton was fishy, so using the fermented tofu with a strong taste as an auxiliary material was indeed easy to suppress the fishy smell of mutton, and it was also a good way to eat it.

    He put the fermented tofu in the same small jar like the pickled cabbage jar, but the jar for fermented tofu was much smaller than the pickled cabbage jar with a big belly, and it could even be said to be pocket-sized jar. If the fermented tofu in the jar was often in contact with the air, it would be easy to deteriorate and spoil the taste.

    He made two jars first as an experiment, but he didn't stop after making fermented tofu. Now that he had started making jar dishes, he might as well make more types, such as pickled chilies and soybeans, fermented soybean paste, chili bean sauce, dried radishes, radish rolls, dried bamboo shoots, pickled cabbage with minced meat sauce, sour cowpea with minced meat sauce... No need to do too much.

    When he was in the Xu family, he made dried radishes and radish rolls. Not to mention simple, the materials he used were at most chilies and Sichuan peppers. He could find all the materials in the family's fields or on the hills, so Liu Xianglan wouldn't say anything.

    He made some small snacks to eat. Summertime was the time for porridge. Radish rolls were crispy and fragrant. Everyone loved to eat them. This was also the jar dish that almost every family in the village would make in their spare time. When passing by the farmer’s yard on weekdays, looking at the strips of radishes drying on the clothesline or in the dustpan, they were likely to be made pickled radishes or dried radishes.

    The method of dried radish and fermented tofu was actually similar. To be precise, the method of these two jar dishes was similar, the main ingredients were either fermented, dried, or soaked.

   Both tofu and watercress needed to be fermented. The ones that needed to be dried were like radishes and bamboo shoots. They needed to be dried out of the water, so that the radishes and bamboo shoots became tough and not easy to break. The one that need to be soaked in water was soybeans.

    Xu He spread a dustpan in the large courtyard outside the house, and pulled a few hemp ropes. He soaked, dried, and fermented. The huge courtyard took up half of it at once.

    When the weather was good, he pushed the two treasures' crib to the small dining hall with the window open, so he could look and play with the children for a while. He didn't have any empty hands, he cut the freshly picked chilies, peeled the garlic, and removed the black shiny seeds from the dried Sichuan peppers.

    Not knowing whether such seeds could germinate and grow into pepper trees, Xu He simply collected them instead of throwing them away, and then threw them all on the long flower bed built against the wall.

    Villagers like them didn't know much about elegance, so he planted garlics, onions, garlic shoots and spring onions in all the vacant land for flower planting, and he also dug ginger and Sichuan pepper tree from the mountain... In short, it looked like a house in the village.

    Zhang Fangyuan didn't say anything, on the contrary, he thought it was very good. If he wanted to eat a bowl of noodles at home, he didn't have to go to the field to pick vegetables, and he could pick all the ingredients directly in the yard.

    "Ah, I have made a lot of it."

    When Zhang Fangyuan came back, he looked at the soybeans, radishes and bamboo shoots in the yard, and he couldn't help but leaned forward to grab a handful.

    "There are not many of them, and I couldn't make a few jars for one dish, but you have more type of dish, and put them together you can get many."

    Xu He poured a cup of tea for Zhang Fangyuan: "Why did you come back so early today? Didn't you go to the city?"

    "Go, the clerk took good care of the shop. I have already prepared the goods requested by other shops, and I went to place a new order. Song Yong, the merchant who bought the goods from our shop last year, came to order again."

    Zhang Fangyuan took a sip of tea and then said: "This time he wants more than before. He thinks it's easy to sell our goods in other places, so he is going to open up a market. I recommended a lot of ointments to him, and we can give them to him when the stock in our warehouse is replenished. "

    Xu He responded, the business of the shop in the city was their biggest source of income, as long as the business over there was stable, he would be relieved.

     Zhang Fangyuan said again: "On the way back today, I saw a lot of people from the city who came out to gather and have fun on the official road. Our tea shed business is very good today."
