selling chili peppers in chronology

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

The weather is hot, and the rice wine is almost fermented by the evening of the next day. The rice wine of this level is not intoxicating, and it tastes very sweet.

Because pure rice is expensive, and it is fermented with Lingquan rice, it has a special fragrance, and there is not much in it. After tasting the taste, Chen Chen covered the plastic bag again, and waited for another night to ferment.

The next day he got up early, and while the weather was not so hot, the father and son went to work in the field together. After lunch, Chen Bei wanted to stroll out to play, and Chen Chen called people to pick peppers.

"Brother, do you want to dry the peppers?"

People in the village who can’t finish eating chili peppers dry and store them in the sun, so that they can still have dried chili peppers after eating fresh chili peppers.

Chen Chen denied it and said, "No, I want to make bad chili."

"Ah?" Chen Bei looked blank, "What is that?"

Chen Chen said: "I can't explain it clearly, but you will know it after you do it."

In their ten miles and eight towns, the most peppers are sun-dried peppers, or put in when making pickles, or they can be made into pickled peppers. If the family conditions are good, they will use some oil to make oily peppers, but they are rarely eaten like this. , the village head’s family has done it before, I heard that it’s quite reluctant, every time I scoop out half a bowl, it’s not satisfying at all.

So many ways to eat chili peppers in later generations are actually not popular at the moment. Even if they have heard of the way, few people in the village are willing to make that material.

Thanks to the farmhouse, Chen Chen's cooking skills are very good, and he can make a lot of sauces.

Restricted by the conditions at home at this time, he thought about it and there was only one bad chili that he could do.

The two brothers picked chili peppers, peeled garlic, dug young ginger, and then carried them to the sink for cleaning. Without a meat grinder, they could only chop on the chopping board.

Picking a pot of peppers from the backyard, it was too tiring to chop it alone, so Chen Bei went to Er Bo’s house to borrow a chopping board and a knife, but it was too late for Chen Chen to stop him. Carrot head.

They were the eldest son of the second uncle Chen Jianjun, the two sons of Chen Chen's second cousin Chen Jin.

Chen Chen asked while cutting peppers: "Huai Ce Huai Zhi, have you had lunch?"

Chen Huaice replied, "I ate it."

Chen Chen asked, "Why didn't you go out to play?"

Chen Huaice curled his lips, "My mother has gone to the field, and my grandparents are not at home, Huai Zhi can only be watched by me."

Chen Bei said, "You can take him with you."

"My mother won't let me." Chen Huaice said angrily, "She said she would burn Huai Zhi, and if I dare to run around with Huai Zhi, my legs will be broken."

The three-year-old Chen Huaizhi could understand a little bit, and shouted: "Brother will not be beaten!"

Chen Huaice, who was dragged down, squeezed him dissatisfiedly. Chen Huaizhi felt that his brother was playing with him, so he laughed loudly.

Chen Chen found it interesting, "It's really sunny outside, if you want to play, wait until the sun goes down, it won't be so uncomfortable for you to play by yourself."

The helpless Chen Huaice could only nod, and asked again: "Uncle Xiao Chen, why did you pick so many peppers? You even cut them all up."

Chen Chen replied: "It's a bad chili."

Chen Huaice naturally didn't know what bad chili was, so he asked, "Is it delicious?"

Chen Chen: "It's delicious."

Chen Huaicze: "That's great."

Chopping chili is not an easy job, Chen Chen has tried his best to pay attention, but he still feels his palms are hot, Chen Chen is worried that Chen Bei will not be able to bear it, "Xiaobei, this chili is spicy, don't chop it up, I will do it myself. "

Chen Bei didn't agree, "There are so many peppers, brother, you can't handle them until it gets dark."

Chen Chen got vaccinated in advance, "Then don't be so hot that you cry for a while."

For some reason, Chen Huaizhi immediately agreed, "cry!"

Chen Bei blacked out, "I won't cry!"

After working for more than half an hour, the peppers were all chopped, and there was still some garlic left, so Chen Chen assigned the task directly, "Huai Ce, help me heat up the stove, Xiao Bei, you go to wash the pot, and then pour the rice wine into the pot to boil." open."

The uncle and nephew went to work obediently.

Chen Huaizhi watched eagerly the rice wine that Chen Bei poured into the pot. The mellow rice wine was so fragrant that his saliva flowed out.

In fact, not only the three-year-old Chen Huaizhi, but even Chen Huaice and Chen Bei were not spared. They felt that this rice wine was really sweet. No wonder the old grandma/grandmother was only willing to make a little during the Chinese New Year.

Chen Chen was chopping garlic with two knives at the moment, and said in his mouth: "Xiao Bei, save some rice wine, and everyone will have a bowl of water."

Chen Bei's eyes lit up, "Okay!"

The fire in the stove was already on fire, and the pot was not yet filled with gas. Chen Bei knew that rice alcohol was expensive, and his brother wanted to use rice wine now, so even though he was greedy, he was not willing to keep more rice wine. Little by little, he washed down the rice wine sticking to the enamel basin, and Chen Huaice pointed at a place with sharp eyes, "Uncle Bei, there is more here."

Chen Bei turned the enamel basin, "I saw it, I'll get it right away, you go to the cupboard and get four bowls out."

"Okay!" Chen Huaice quickly opened the cupboard and took out four bowls.

Chen Bei began to share rice wine and water, and the two younger ones watched eagerly, without blinking.

Chen Chen caught a glimpse of their eyes, and felt sore in his heart.

After Chen Bei poured out the rice wine, he checked the enamel basin again. When he saw that there was any rice wine that was not cleaned, he poured some water and poured it into the bowl one by one. He really didn't want to waste any grain.

After the division, the three uncles and nephews did not move, they just waited for Chen Chen.

Chen Chen said: "You each drink a bowl first."

Chen Huaice swallowed, "Uncle Chen, we'll wait for you to drink together."

"It's okay." Chen Chen said, "Just leave me a bowl."

How could a child who hadn't seen anything good all year long be able to withstand such a temptation, and immediately gave in. Chen Huaizhi grabbed Chen Huaice's hand and shouted, "Brother, rice wine!"

Chen Huaice brought him the rice wine, "Hold it carefully, if you knock it over, you won't have anything to drink."

Chen Huaizhi nodded obediently.

This rice wine has been fermented hard, and the taste of the wine is relatively strong, but it has the sweetness of rice wine itself. After diluting it with water, it is sweet and fragrant. It tastes incredible when it is drunk in the mouth.

The uncle and nephew Sanyi held a bowl in their hands, sipping it in small sips, reluctant to drink more, the expression on their faces was one of enjoyment.

There was surprise in Chen Huaizhi's immature voice, "Sweet!"

Chen Huaice said: "Of course rice wine is sweet!"

Chen Bei felt elated, "The rice wine is really delicious."

When the three of them drank the rice wine, Chen Chen had also chopped the garlic, and he put all the chopped garlic into a basin, which contained the chili and ginger chopped earlier.

The rice wine in the pot boiled, and the kitchen was filled with the sweet smell of rice wine, which could be intoxicating.

Chen Huaice didn't add much firewood to the stove, and it was already burned out, so Chen Chen didn't care about it anymore, but found salt and put it in the chili pepper. There wasn't enough salt in the salt pot, so he took out a new pack of salt, Looking at Chen Bei's heart ached.

"Brother, you put too much salt..."

Chen Chen put the pot on the stove, and while scooping the rice wine in the pot into the pot, he said, "Not much, this is just right."

Chen Bei:! ! !

What if my brother is not soft-hearted when using salt? !

After scooping up the rice wine in the pot, Chen Chen asked Chen Bei to add some water to the pot, and he started to stir the peppers with a spoon. The peppers, young ginger, garlic, salt, and rice wine inside had to be stirred evenly.

When the stirring is almost done, put the peppers into the jars that have been washed in advance. Because of the excessive calculation in advance, there are only more than half a bowl after filling, and I keep it for cooking.

Add water to the rim of the jar, then cover with a lid.Wait for three or four days to vent your anger, then seal the mouth of the altar, open it and eat it after ten and a half months.

After Chen Chen finished handling the peppers, he found that the pot had become very clean, as if it had been washed, and the three young ones continued to drink their rice wine with their bowls in their arms.

Needless to say, they must have filled up the water in the pot just now and ate it.
