Cucumbers need to be marinated in advance with some water. If you omit this step, the cucumbers will become hot and sour and delicious. The reason is that the moisture from the cucumbers will dilute the pickle, and it will be sour if it is not salty enough. Because I like to eat chili, I put a lot of chili. You can put it in a proper amount and it won't be too spicy, but it won't taste too good without chili. The amount of soy sauce should be just enough to spread over the vegetables, and moisture will be released during the pickling process, so not too much.

Xiaoyingzi's words:
1. The amount of soy sauce is subject to the vegetables and vegetables.
2. The amount of salt is better to pickle the moisture in the cucumber and make the cucumber soft.
3. Vegetables and vegetables must be dried.
4. Pour in an appropriate amount of high-quality liquor to prevent mildew and play a role of sterilization. In addition, the taste of cucumber will be good.
5. The vegetable oil here will not go bad, but it will also block the air and prevent mildew.
6. The amount of edible oil depends on the container you use. If it is a smaller caliber, you can use less oil, which serves as a seal.
