As it turned out, Juhua initially lacked the proper seasonings, so what she made was purely "spicy" cabbage.
In truth, there was no way Juhua could make authentic Korean spicy cabbage. However, she knew that pickling spicy cabbage required something sweet to aid fermentation and give it a pleasant tartness. Lacking apples or pears, she used white radishes and added white sugar. Last year, money was tight, so she didn't dare use much sugar, and the flavor naturally suffered for it.
Once carrots became available in the winter, she could cut sweet carrots and white radishes into fine shreds and mix them into the seasonings, which would likely make the flavor even better. Even if it couldn't compare to the authentic version, it was still a unique delicacy in this Different Space-Time.
Manager Mao chuckled, knowing the price of the Zheng Family's spicy cabbage was about to go up.
