Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 17, The Spicy Taste of Controlling Tyrants
After a while, Mrs. Zhou brought half a basket of dried cornel to Mother: "Mother, here are the leftovers from last year. There are fruits all over the mountain. If you like to eat them, I will wash your newly picked cornel later." Cleaned and steamed, dried and stored!"

Xiao Qing's hands went deep into the basket, and picked up the dried fruit from the bottom of the basket and threw it up. Fortunately, it was a severe drought, and even the dried dogwood from the previous year was not moldy, and the water had been drained. fragrance.

But she will never taste the taste impulsively again. Although the freshly picked ones are a bit sour and bitter, the taste is really not good.

She grabbed a handful in her hand and looked carefully. If it was ground into flour, would it be the same as chili powder noodles?
"Xiao Chengniang, is there anyone still using the stone mill at the head of the village?" Xiao Qing asked.

Mrs. Zhou looked up at the stone mill at the head of the village, and there was no one around: "Mother, no one is using it."

There are two stone mills in Yaoshan Village, one is in the village and the other is at the head of the village. The head of the village is too small. People in the village grind wheat and beans at a time. It is too slow, and it is far away. There are few people here, but they used it when grinding wheat before.

Xiao Qing snorted, and said with a smile: "Go and do your work, I'll take a look later!"

A few people don't care what mother is going to do, they only know that whatever mother is going to do, they will help.

Half an hour later, Xiao Qing came to the stone mill with a half-basket of dry dogwood. Seeing the wheat seedlings growing on the stone mill and some soil on it, Xiao Qing began to clean the stone mill, and asked Qiao Cheng to help her clean it. The water washed the stone mill, and when the stone mill dried, it was almost noon.

Only then did Xiao Qing pour the dried dogwood into the funnel and start grinding.

This stone mill has been used for a long time, and some of the concave and convex teeth inside have been worn flat, and some have been smashed, so it is very laborious to push.

Xiao Qing didn't ask anyone else to do this job, she could exchange grain and food by pushing the mill and walking, and letting other people push it didn't get anything, it might as well be her pushing it, it's just too tiring.

After grinding for a long time, no cornel fragments came out, so she filled the funnel again and continued to push until halfway through the funnel, the powder flakes fell out along the grinding disc, slowly increasing.

She looked at the ground dogwood flour noodles, Xiao Qing smiled, although the color was darker, there were bright red flakes, but it was just right.

She looked around for no one, called out Xiaochao, and first checked how many steps she had left. She went to the mountains early this morning, and there were at least a few thousand steps. Including yesterday's leftovers, it should be fine to exchange for chili powder noodles .

Xiao Qing saw that there were indeed quite a few, about 8000 steps. She quickly scrolled to the page of condiments, and saw authentic Shu spicy noodles and chili powder noodles, which cost a thousand steps per catty. This system mall is Does it start at a price?

A pigeon of three or four catties only takes more than 1000 steps. What kind of authentic Shu spicy powder is more expensive than pigeon meat per catty?
She wanted to hit the system again, but she finally held back, after all, the system is now the master, he is the seller, he sets the price, and she can choose not to buy it.

After Xiao Qing placed the order, a small sack of chili powder noodles was delivered to her.

She mixed cornel powder noodles and chili powder noodles together, not so much mixed together, it is better to say that the most is chili powder noodles, the two colors look similar, but the Shu pepper is really good, it has no seeds, and it smells delicious Don't rush people.

Xiao Qing went home and took a bowl, put the ground dogwood noodles and chili powder noodles into the bowl, and then went to the grass shed.

It was already noon, and Zhou and Qin were cooking.

Xiao Qing went to the thatched shed, and handed them a bowl of dogwood powder: "I'll fry some meat for you later, put some cornel noodles, have a try?"

Zhou Shi and Qin Shi thought of the bitter taste, their faces were full of rejection, but mother wanted to eat, so they didn't say anything, just listened to mother's words and agreed.

Xiao Qing decided to cook by herself. She washed the meat first, and then cut it into thin slices. Without onion, ginger and garlic, she could only make do with it.

In her previous life, she lived alone all year round, and she did a lot of housework by herself, of course cooking was inevitable.

Qiao Yu lit the fire below, and when the pot was heated, Xiao Qing put lard and meat in it.

The Qin family and the Zhou family who were on the side saw that their mother burned the meat and put oil on it. It was too wasteful, and their hearts were full of distress.

However, the moment the oiled meat was stir-fried, the aroma came out along with the white smoke. Zhou and Qin who were surrounded by the stove couldn't help swallowing their saliva. The children outside asked about the aroma of the fried meat , They all ran over and stood under the thatched shed watching the red and white meat getting cooked little by little, and they stretched their heads into the pot so fragrant.

Xiao Qing put some salt, grabbed a handful of dogwood noodles, threw them into the pot and stir-fried them together, and when the meat was almost cooked, he sprinkled the gynostemma that the children found in the morning, and after the pot was drenched with water, , sizzling sound, clear vegetable fragrance, with the smell of meat, people can't help but take a few mouthfuls.

After the dishes were fried, Xiao Qing took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Qiao Cheng: "Come on, Xiao Cheng, how about you try this?"

Children have the most tricky tastes. Adults can tolerate the spicy food they can tolerate, let alone people who like spicy food.

Qiao Cheng took a mouthful of meat and vegetables and blew it. He couldn't wait to put it in his mouth. Because the vegetables were too hot, Qiao Cheng slapped his mouth after chewing two mouthfuls: "It's hot..."

Mrs. Zhou helped her breathe: "Eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you! Does it taste like it?"

The more Qiao Cheng chewed, the more delicious it became, and the more he chewed, the more fragrant he became. However, after the smell of meat disappeared, there was a taste in his mouth that he had never tasted before. It was spicy, not the bitterness of cornel fruit, but spicy, straight to the brain. hot.

He took another bite, this time he was not in a hurry, but ate slowly, halfway through, he couldn't help it, and shouted: "Mother, water, water, spicy, so spicy..."

Seeing his expression, Xiao Qing was very satisfied. The spicy taste had covered the smell of cornel, and he could basically pass the test.

Qiao Cheng took a sip of water, and after the spicy taste subsided, he asked curiously, "Grandma, is this our dogwood noodle? Why does it taste like this? It's delicious!"

Xiao Qing asked: "Don't ask this, tell grandma, is this taste, other than meat, spicy that you can accept?"

Qiao Cheng thought about it for a while, then nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's delicious. Grandma's spicy taste can be more spicy. I really want to eat millet rice. It must be delicious when paired with millet rice."

Xiao Qing said with a smile: "I will satisfy your little mouth later."

With Qiao Cheng's words, she felt relieved. She had never tasted the spicy taste of cornel. Although she ate the freshly ripened fruit, cornel actually existed as a condiment for the ancestors for a long time. The real spiciness of cornel as a side dish, she hadn't tasted yet.

However, chili can dominate the spicy world instead of dogwood and mustard, which shows that the taste of chili cannot be replaced by them, and it is even more suitable for human mouth than them. Most modern people like spicy food.

The Daqing Dynasty was similar to the ancient Song Dynasty. Chili peppers had not been introduced yet, so she could try it in the county tomorrow. If she could sell it, she might earn a lot of money.
