The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Step up making pickles

Li Yu and Zhao Di walked towards the kitchen with the bamboo plaque and said to Li Mei, who was choosing vegetables: "Aunt, we have to order a batch of small jars. I think it would be best to put our mark on the jars so that others can I know the pickles are from our family."

Li Mei looked at Li Yu in confusion, "Mark? What kind of mark?"

"Just like Jishitang, which stores our wolfberry. The three characters Jishitang are the symbol of his family. I think we will name it." Li Yu turned around, "Let's call it Li Ji Pickles."

After hearing this, Li Mei shook her head, "That's not possible. There are so many people named Li in the world. I think I'll call them Qingyu Pickles after you and A Qing!"

"Qingyu pickles," Li Yu read it over and over again, and found it easy to understand. "It's okay. It's best to find someone to help write it out, and then draw two chili peppers and send them to the clay pottery workshop."

Li Mei thought for a moment, "I still want to paint, how about I go find Ah Qing's husband Zhou Xiucai and ask?"

"Okay, if he doesn't agree to your return, we'll find a way. You and your uncle can drive the ox cart and collect some vegetables from Dongshan Village."

Li Yu thought to himself: If Mr. Zhou doesn't agree, he will be the only one to do it.

Li Mei called Liu Changmin who was building a cowshed, and the two drove the bullock cart toward Dongshan Village School.

Li Mei arrived at the school and saw a cheerful-looking half-grown boy standing at the door of the school. He stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Brother, has Mr. Zhou finished class?"

Ji Xiang looked at Li Mei with a smile, "My young master hasn't finished class yet, sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Li Mei hesitated for a moment, "I would like to ask Mr. Zhou to help me write a few words and draw two chili peppers."

"Draw two chili peppers," Jixiang thought with his eyes widened: What does this mean?

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean? I don't understand."

"My niece made pickles to sell, and named it Qingyu Pickles. I wanted to ask my husband to help me write it out and draw two chili peppers. I will take it to the pot burner and let the pot burner burn it on the pot."

Jixiang understood now, "Oh! Just write down the font size. Wait for me to ask for it for you."

"Okay, thank you, brother."

After a while, Jixiang came out and waved to Li Mei, "Sister-in-law, come in! The young master agreed."

Ji Xiang took Li Mei to the classroom and pointed inside, "My young master is in there, you can go ahead!"

Seeing that the children had finished class and there were only a few children in the classroom, Li Mei walked in and saluted Zhou Jia, "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Zhou Jia nodded gently, "I want to write a font name called Qingyu. I wonder which two characters are Qingyu that my sister-in-law wants to write?"

"Qing is Li Qing's Qing, and Yu is Li Yu's Yu. This font size uses the names of Ah Qing and Yu'er."

Zhou Jia was a little embarrassed after hearing this, thinking: This sister-in-law is illiterate. I know who Li Qing is, but how do I know who Li Yu's Yu is?

At this time, Li Qing came in from the outside, saw Li Mei and asked in surprise: "Aunt, why are you here?"

Li Mei quickly pulled Li Qing over and said, "Ah Qing, tell your husband what kind of disease your sister has."

Li Qing was confused by Li Mei's troubles, but he still stepped forward and said to Zhou Jia, "Sir, I know how to write the character Yu for my sister."

"You write it down and I'll take a look." After Zhou Jia asked Li Qing to write it down, he helped write down the font size of Qingyu Pickles and drew two chili peppers next to it.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Li Mei saluted Zhou Jia repeatedly, and then walked out of the classroom with Li Qing.

After Li Qing asked, he understood that after the aunt and nephew made an appointment to go home together, Li Mei went to the clay pottery workshop.

Li Yu asked Zhaodi to cut the cowpeas into pieces as long as a little finger like he did.

Li Yu cut a pot of cowpeas, sprinkled salt on them and kneaded the cowpeas vigorously. After the cowpeas were fragrant, he poured them into the sauce jar and continued to marinate the next pot.

It wasn't until Li Mei, his wife and Li Qing returned home that Li Yu and Zhao Di had marinated half of the food.

Li Mei took out a piece of paper and handed it to Li Yu, looking at the words written on it with admiration, "Mr. Zhou is the learned one, look at how well the words are written, and the peppers are painted like real ones. "

Li Yu took it and took a look. Although he didn't understand it, the writing looked really good. "Well, I will give him two jars of pickles in the future."

Seeing that Li Yu was satisfied, Li Qing felt his face was bright. He smiled and said to Li Yu: "Sister, I gave the pickles to the husband. The husband said thank you."

Li Mei put the rice on the table, "Okay, let's eat first and we have to be busy!"

After everyone had eaten, they started to work separately. Li Mei and his wife went out to collect the vegetables, and Laidi helped with the selection of vegetables. Everyone started to divide the work and work together.

Li Yu and Zhao Di were busy until it was almost dark before they pickled the pickles and peppers separately and put them into the sauce jar.

Li Mei and Liu Changmin brought back a cart full of peppers, cowpeas, kohlrabi, and some onions, ginger, and garlic. They worked overnight to select them all.

The next day, Li Mei and his wife continued to go out to collect vegetables. Li Yu fried the ginger, garlic and onions, took them out, and then poured the peppers into the oil pan to fry.

After the peppers are fried and allowed to cool, scoop the oil into the sauce jar, add the peanuts, sesame seeds, aniseed, white sugar and white wine and pour into the pickle jar, mix well, seal the sauce jar with an oilcloth, and move it into the empty wing. Wait for the jars to arrive and then divide them into packages. Li Yu counted the batch and made more than a dozen jars.

Li Yu looked at the bean sprouts covered with pumpkin leaves and found that a layer of white fluff had grown, which seemed to have begun to ferment. Li Yu covered the pumpkin leaves back and returned to the kitchen to continue working.

A few people worked hard without knowing it. Until the day before the Ghost Festival, Li Yu and Li Mei's family had made seventy or eighty jars of cowpea pickles and forty or fifty jars of kohlrabi.

Li Yu looked at the sauce jars in the main room and the side room, and sighed with satisfaction. If all these pickles were sold out, he would still have more than a hundred taels of silver. After the millet was harvested, he could buy some grain and store it.

On the Ghost Festival, Li Mei's family returned to Dongshan Village, and Li Yu and Li Qing performed sacrifices at home.

In the afternoon, Li Yu made some food and wine, and burned paper money with Li Qing, worshiping the parents of the Li family and the ancestors of the Li family.

Li Yu secretly said to the original owner in his heart: "Li Yu, don't worry! Ah Qing, I will treat him as my biological brother. I hope you can be reincarnated in the society of my previous life and become a free and happy woman."

After offering sacrifices to the siblings and washing up, Li Yu checked the front and back yard doors. Just as he was about to take a rest, Li Mei's call came from outside the front yard door.

Li Yu quickly ran to open the courtyard door and saw Li Mei's family standing at the door dejectedly.

As soon as Laidi saw Li Yu, she complained, "Cousin, is there any food? I'm starved to death and we didn't even have dinner."

Li Mei patted her and said, "Today is the Ghost Festival. Don't die. Are you going to die?"

Li Yu smiled and pulled Laidi into the house, "Aunt, come in quickly and you will have food."

Li Qing also quickly pulled Li Mei into the house. Zhao Di followed Li Yu to the kitchen. Zhao Di said angrily: "Grandma and the two uncles didn't even cook for us. The two aunts are still there." It’s yin and yang.”

Li Yu advised: "Don't argue with them. It's not worth it to make yourself angry."

After the Li Mei family had finished eating, the Li Yu siblings rested again.
