But this method of storing Chinese cabbage is still worth keeping.

There are many ways to store Chinese cabbage, but they are basically the same in terms of meteorological conditions and relative humidity. The best temperature is between 2 degrees and minus 2 degrees, and the best relative humidity in the air is 80-90 percent. The degree of moisture can be clearly felt in the air.

Spread straw or vegetable leaves on the bottom and store them in the ditch after drying Chinese cabbage for 3-5 days. when placing, the same root faces inward and the leaf ball faces outward. After placing the cabbage, lay a layer of grass, and then you can fill the soil.

3. Cellar method

First, the Chinese cabbage was stored in the leeward direction for 10-20 days, and then stored in time when the external temperature dropped below zero. The bottom of the pit should be covered with a layer of 6 cm thick sand and a layer of straw, and the bad vegetable leaves should be removed at the same time. After entering the cellar, the vegetables should be poured every three days to prevent the temperature in the cellar from getting too high, and at the same time to remove the rotten leaves and help. With the decrease of external temperature, the mouth of the pit should be strictly sealed to prevent Chinese cabbage from freezing.
