selling chili peppers in chronology

=====================

Put the steamed rice out and let it cool, then add the koji and stir well, then put it into a small enamel basin, find a plastic bag to wash it clean and tie it up, it’s hot now, just put it in the kitchen to wait for fermentation.

In the following time, Chen Chen cleaned the house inside and out. The father and son had a rough life before, and they didn't clean it up very carefully, and it wasn't sloppy, but it was not so neat.

In the past, consumers in farmhouses were relatively high-end customers, and people at that time had better living conditions and pursued more enjoyment. The service in farmhouses is naturally good, and hygiene must also be clean and tidy.Now this habit has been preserved, so that Chen Chen can't see the current situation at home.

After such a clean-up, Chen Chen realized more clearly how poor this family is.

The pots and pans should be washed, and the dilapidated things that can be used for firewood are thrown by the stove, and those that are slightly usable are placed in the small thatched shed in the backyard, which is the utility room of the family.

With this order, the room looks much cleaner and more barren.

When this busy work is over, and then take a breather, it's time to cook dinner again. Chen Chen is thinking about whether to cook whole grain rice or pancakes. Chen Bei pushes open the courtyard door like a thief and comes in, gasping for breath while mysteriously saying: : "Brother, I got something good!"

Chen Chen was aroused, "What good stuff?"

Chen Bei's upper body was bare, and the clothes were used by him to pack things. When he opened the clothes in his hand, he saw all kinds of bird eggs inside. After a rough scan, there were more than ten.

Chen Chen was surprised, "So many?"

Chen Bei chuckled, "I originally wanted to go to the back mountain with Chen Zhu and the others to pick wild peaches, but in the end we found a few nests of bird eggs."

Chen Chen frowned, "Go to the mountains?"

"No, no, no." Chen Bei has been inexplicably afraid of Chen Chen since yesterday, especially when he did something bad, he felt very guilty, "We didn't go into the deep mountains, we just went to places we've been to before."

"Then this bird's egg was not picked up by others first?" Besides, all three of them had a lot of points.

"Maybe I didn't see it."

Chen Chen reluctantly believed his clarification, but still warned: "The deep mountain is not a safe place. I heard that there used to be many wild boars, roe deer, wolves and tigers in it, you have to pay attention to safety."

Chen Bei hurriedly agreed, and said, "Brother, let's eat this bird egg tonight."

Chen Chen nodded, "OK."

Put the bird eggs into the pot, Chen Chen lit the stove, and Chen Bei brought water into the house to wash his face and wipe his body, when the pot was steaming, Chen Bei changed his clothes and came out, "Brother, can you wash my dirty clothes for me? "

"I washed it by hand." Chen Chen said quietly, "In the future, you wash it yourself."

"Thank you, brother." Chen Bei said, "I originally wanted to take the clothes to the river to wash together after I changed out today, but I didn't expect you to help me wash them together."

Chen Chen didn't mention it much, "After dinner, you can fetch water with me."

Chen Bei agreed, "Okay."

They ate pancakes for dinner, which was different from the pancakes they often baked at home. What Chen Chen made were burritos.

White noodles are too expensive to eat, so Chen Chen mixed some cornmeal and sorghum noodles into one piece, baked it and then spread a layer of chili oil made yesterday, then spread a layer of tender green vegetables, and added chopped cucumbers Shredded and shelled bird eggs, roll the bread, it is a homemade burrito.

Chen Bei helped in the kitchen, "Brother, this is the first time I see this way of eating."

Chen Chen said, "The taste should not be bad."

The two meals of potato rice made Chen Bei convinced of his brother's cooking skills, and now looking at the red peppers and white tender eggs, he felt hungry and flustered, "Then I believe that this is the only way to eat in the county. Bar?"

Anyway, in the village and town, he hadn’t seen pancakes that could be eaten like this. Who didn’t spread the pancakes with some oil in the pot, and added an egg if they were too full!

So Chen Bei took it for granted that his brother learned it from the county.

Chen Chen thought about the situation in the county, and denied it: "No, I heard people say that there is no food like this in the county."

Chen Bei let out an ah.

Chen Chen patched himself, "That man came from another place, I did him a little favor, and he told me this way of eating."

Chen Bei understood, "So that's how it is."

At the dinner table, Chen Jianye praised the burrito, saying "it's pretty good" amidst Chen Bei's crazy praise.

There were more than ten cakes, and the dough cakes were also thick, and a lot of vegetables were added. Chen Chen was full after eating two and a half, Chen Bei stuffed three, and Chen Jianye ate six every day, leaving three and a half Just use a basin to put it in a floating water tank, so that the temperature is low and it can be eaten tomorrow.

When resting after dinner to enjoy the cool air, Chen Jianye said: "We have discussed it, and there will be snow in the winter on the [-]th day."

Chen Bei counted the days, "Isn't that five days from now?"

Chen Jianye hummed.

Chen Chen asked: "The time is a bit tight."

Chen Jianye explained: "If it's not [-], you have to wait until two months later, it's too late, so I chose [-]."

The main reason was that Chen Chen would go back on his word after agreeing, it would inevitably be a bit unsightly, so it's better to hurry up and have nothing to say when it's a foregone conclusion.

Chen Chen didn't expect this, but asked: "Then is it too late to prepare the dinner?"

"No dinner is prepared." Chen Jianye said.

Chen Chen was surprised.

Chen Jianye explained: "Everyone's life is difficult these days. If you want a guest, you have to come with the gift. And now that the farming is busy, no one has that time. We are also tired. Besides, we are both married, so we eat around the house. Just one meal."

This is also true.

These days, the second-married people in the village seem to go to get a certificate, and then tell everyone, and then have a meal with their family.

It is indeed troublesome to hold a banquet, and it will save a lot of trouble if it is true.

In the end, Chen Chen said decisively: "Dad, you should discuss it with Aunt Liu. You can just tell Xiaobei and me what to do."

Chen Jianye agreed.

After resting, Chen Jianye went to discuss with his parents and brothers, while Chen Chen and Chen Bei carried buckets to fetch water.

There is a river running through the village, and I don’t know how many years ago, people dug a small pool at the water outlet for drinking water for the villagers.After the cement started to be used in the early years, the village rebuilt the small pool. Not only the area was enlarged, but also a roof was erected, and the sides along the bank were also raised. Only the door was left for fetching water. In this way, the pool It is clean and convenient, and can guarantee a certain degree of safety. Children are not afraid of falling into it when they are fetching water.

In summer, when it is dark, many women and girls are washing clothes by the river when the sun is not shining. There are people washing vegetables in the lower part of the pool. Chen Chen shouted from memory when he saw someone. The uncle and the like said a few more words, which made those people a little surprised.

In the past, Chen Chen wasn't so good at chatting, he always stopped talking after shouting.

The buckets in the house are all wooden buckets, empty ones are heavy, and when they are filled with water, Chen Chen can't even stand up.Finally, he frowned and poured out some of the water, leaving half a bucket of water in each, and now he could get up.

There was only one shoulder pole, and Chen Bei could only carry it. He was young and not strong enough, so he could only lift half a bucket of water. The two brothers went back and forth, and the water level of the water tank barely rose a little.

With just this one trip, Chen Chen deeply understood why the family members usually just filled the tub with water and wiped it with towels when it was hot, but if they wanted to take a real bath, they basically carried their clothes to the river when it was not cold.

This is obviously too lazy to carry water!

When the water tank was finally filled to half of it after going back and forth several times, Chen Chen was already paralyzed from exhaustion.

At that time, there was only one thought in his mind - running water is a great invention!
