Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Making Hot Sauce

Li Yu saw that Zhao Di had washed the cowpeas and dried them in the yard, and also cleaned the kohlrabi there. Li Yu used to bring the cleaned kohlrabi to the stove, cut them into chopstick-thick strips, and poured them into the drying mat. Dry in the yard.

Li Yu touched the peppers and found that the water had dried out. He went back and took a large wooden basin and put the cutting board in the basin. After cutting the peppers into pieces, after filling half of the wooden basin, Li Yu began to chop the peppers finely. .

I didn't feel uncomfortable at first, but after a long time, Li Yu felt a burning pain in his hands, so he chopped up a few pots of chili peppers. Li Yu quickly poured a bucket of well water and soaked his hands in cold water. After a while, he felt comfortable. Some people just scooped up a bowl of salt and some big ingredients. They weighed 50 catties of chopped peppers. According to the ratio of one pound of peppers to one or two salts, pour the salt into the chopped peppers and stir well with long bamboo chopsticks.

Go and scoop out another bowl of peanuts and half a bowl of sesame seeds, pour them into the pot and fry them, put the peanuts into the miluo, let it cool, rub the peanut skins and pour it into the stone mortar, smash it and put it in a bowl for later use.

Li Yu went to the back of the house with a machete, and found a secluded place to get a few hares out of the space. As soon as he walked into the backyard, he met Laidi coming out of the latrine, and Laidi saw Li Yu carrying a few dead rabbits. The rabbit, thinking that Li Yugang brought it back from the forest in the back mountain, pouted, "Cousin, why is it a dead rabbit again?"

Li Yu walked towards the house with an embarrassed smile, "I didn't find the one alive, my cousin will get it for you next time."

Li Yu hung the rabbit on the long nails on the outer wall of the wing, peeled off the rabbit's skin and placed it on the slate, scraped off the fat on the skin with a knife, stretched it with bamboo pieces and hung it on the wall to dry. After the rabbit meat went to the well and cleaned, use a dagger to shave all the rabbit meat, cut it into small pieces and blanch, marinate with salt and aniseed for a while and then deep fry the rabbit meat until caramel color, use a bamboo colander Remove the rabbit meat from the pot and pour it into a clay pot.

Li Yu put the ginger, garlic and shallots in and fry them out, then poured the seasoned chili into the hot oil and fried it. After frying the water, Li Yu put out the fire in the stove and put the diced rabbit meat. , Peanuts, sesame seeds, sugar, pour into the pot and stir well, then pour a small bowl of white wine in it, let it cool and put it in a clay pot.

Li Yu came out of the stove and felt a spicy smell all over him. Zhao Di saw Li Yu coming out of the stove, and asked with a smile, "Cousin, what are you making delicious? It smells so good!"

Li Yu smiled, "Hot sauce! Let's make noodles tonight."

"Okay!" Zhao Di responded happily.

At this time, Mrs. Li took the title deed of Li Yu's house and entered the yard from the door. Seeing that the yard was covered with peppers, cowpeas, and kohlrabi, she smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, are you planning to dry the vegetables to sell?"

"Aunt Li, come in and sit down." Li Yu quickly brought a bench and let Mrs. Li sit down.

Mrs. Li handed the land deed to Li Yu, "The Xiaoyu land deed has been completed, you can put it away. After the millet is harvested, my uncle and I will help you open up the wasteland."

"Aunt Li, you can't do things for nothing. I will also pay for hiring others, and I will pay you the price I usually hire."

"Okay, then it will save your uncle from going to the town to find work," Li replied cheerfully, pointing to the dried vegetables in the yard, "Dried vegetables don't taste good when dried, I'll go back and pick some fresh ones for you. "

Li Yu quickly rejected, "No Aunt Li, this is what I took back. I want to think about making some food and selling it. If you have extra cowpeas, beans, and peas, you can also sell them to me. "

Mrs. Li stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, cowpea and kohlrabi are available. I'll bring them to you when I come back from the market tomorrow, and I'll go back."

"Okay, then you can walk slowly!" Li Yu sent Mrs. Li back to the courtyard, and cut the kohlrabi washed by Zhao Di to dry them. Li Mei and Liu Changmin took the clay pot seller and pulled a cart of sauce jars. came back.

Li Yu helped unload the sauce jar and put it in the yard. Liu Changmin sent the delivery person away. Li Mei saw that the two had washed and dried the vegetables, and said to Li Yu: "Fish, I bought a big sauce jar for eight. One for 10 wen, 50 wen for the small one, and the pottery cook said that the small pot will give us one three wen for one pound, two five wen for two jin, and two seven wen for five jin."

Li Yu felt that the price was still very cheap, nodded and smiled: "Aunt, you can think the price is cheap, Aunt Li just sent the land deed over, I want to dig some fertile soil in the woods while it's not hot now, and spread it after plowing. The last time the fertile soil is raked and the soil is raked again, the fertilizer in the field is enough, and I want to plant a season of wheat in winter."

Li Mei looked at Li Yu in amazement after hearing this, "Yu'er, you really have a lot of ways now, who taught you?"

Li Yu thought to himself: Let’s just say that it was taught by a mother, so as to save the need to make up and wear it later.

After Li Yu thought about it, he said to Li Mei: "Aunt, let me tell you, when I was in Zhang's house, Chen Zhaodi and her daughter forced me to break off the marriage, and after beating me up, they didn't give me any food, and when I poured a bath bucket for Zhang Guixiang at night, Zhang Guixiang pushed me again. In the tub," Li Mei was so frightened that she took Li Yu's hand and looked at Li Yu blankly.

Li Yu continued: "I was choked to death by the water, and when I was drowsy, I saw my father and mother, and my father and mother said, "Yu'er, this is not the place you should come, hurry up and take your brother home and make peace." The Zhang family retired and lived a good life. After my mother finished speaking, she touched my head twice, and my father pushed me back. When I woke up, I found that things that I didn’t understand before became clear in my mind. There will be a lot of things that were not there before.”

Li Mei hugged Li Yu and burst into tears, "Yu'er, it was your parents who protected you and saved your life, oooooooooooooo, it's all because of your aunt's bad life, and your life is not going well. , and also got angry with one of your children, my aunt is sorry for your mother and your father, and caused you and Ah Qing to suffer and suffer in Zhang's house...

Liu Changmin, Zhao Di, and Li Qing stood at the door at some point. Several people stood there with tears on their faces. Li Qing clenched his fists secretly and made up his mind that he would never let anyone bully his sister again.

Li Yu smiled and comforted Li Mei, "Auntie, don't cry, these bad things are over, you see me and Ah Qing are fine."

Li Mei cried for a while and wiped away her tears, "It's all a good thing for the **** Zhang Defa, just wait and see! They will have retribution."

The god-killed Zhang Defa was circling the house in anger. Zhang Decai went to the county and told him that Li Yu was shopping in the village. He bought dozens of acres of wasteland and a lot of things to go home, and he also bought vegetables in the village to eat.

Zhang Defa felt that Li Yu used all his money and beat his chest with anger, "This bitch, you won't be happy if you don't spend all that money."

Zhang Decai looked at him and frowned, "Brother, you can see that she has spent almost all the money, and the Chunsheng you are looking for has not moved. Should I still watch the Li family?"

"Qi Chunsheng, that bastard, said that he wanted to seduce the **** who was wearing ragged clothes, but he couldn't seduce him. He asked me to buy him money for clothes. He thought I didn't know what he was playing with. After scolding for a while, the girls stopped moving."

Zhang Decai remembered that Zhao's hand hurts from time to time, and he hated his teeth so much that he offered a plan to Zhang De, "Brother, now Li Mei's family lives in Li's house, so it's not easy for us to start, otherwise we will wait for Li Mei's family to go back. After that, we'll find a few more hooligans, sneak in when it's dark, and destroy that **** if we don't do it again and again."

Zhang De laughed after hearing this, "Okay, let's do it like this, wait for Lao Tzu to come out with such a bad temper one day."
