Chapter 66
The first is to burn the chili sauce. The green chili is boiled in plant ash, then put into the oil pan, stir-fried and smashed, and finally add a little soybean paste, put it in the altar for storage, and after fermentation, it is the best cooking chili sauce.

And pickled green peppers.

For this reason, she has already planned to have jars delivered. At least ten large jars half a meter high will be prepared, as well as smaller jars. In short, this jar will be indispensable for a while.

After earning money this year, I will start building a house next year.

So she doesn't plan to just earn 200 taels this year.

The two sisters talked for a while, never mentioning Granny Shen's little thoughts. Anyway, even if they didn't say it, they both knew it.

After the two of them washed up, turned on the stove, closed the kitchen door, and returned to the house, Shen Qing clearly noticed that the house had been turned over, not lightly, but extensively searched.

The Zou family's daughter-in-law turned over it once, and now Granny Shen turned over it again. But they all knew that there were several mice in the mouse hole.

When Grandma Shen saw her unkind look, she laughed and said, "I saw your room was very messy, so I tidied it up."

Zhou Laidi also said diligently: "This house is too old. There are spider webs on the beams. I will do a thorough cleaning tomorrow. The rainy season is coming soon, so we have to guard against snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding in nooks and crannies."

Shen Qing said with a smile: "Then thank you Second Aunt, don't just sweep this room, the main room and the east room also have to be cleaned, and the backyard..."

The more Zhou Laidi listened, the smile on her face became stiffer and she could hardly keep it up.

With just two shabby houses, how come there are so many jobs?
On the second day, she knew she had been fooled.

Shen Qing directed her to work with a smile. After cleaning, she had to take out and wash the bedding, because she said that the weather was good and the room was humid, so the bedding must be washed and dried frequently, otherwise it would be easy to get lice.

She ordered it as a matter of course. Whenever Zhou Laidi said that she was tired and didn't want to do it, she would bring tea with a smile on her face, saying that they had no mother's pain, and that aunts were not as close as second aunts, and she counted how virtuous and hardworking Zhou Laidi was. People don't boast.

If Shen Qing is determined to compliment someone, no one can resist him.

Grandma Shen couldn't take any time off either. Shen Qing directed the second aunt to work while handing the chicken feeding basin to Grandma Shen.

"You asked me to feed the chicken? But my waist..."

"Grandma, you are our senior father. We don't know as much about these chores at home as you do. Like feeding the chickens, we all feed them blindly. A while ago, my sister said that two chickens looked lackluster. We don’t know what’s going on, so please help us go and take a look!”

"Really? Don't get chicken plague, that would be bad. I'll go and take a look!" Granny Shen didn't feel ordered at all. After feeding the chickens, Shen Qing asked her to see how the two piglets looked like. , and the peppers in the vegetable field. Finally, I went to dig two pieces of sweet potatoes and picked some young sweet potato vines.

"Grandma, let's kill a little rooster at noon, cut some sweet potatoes, and fry them together. There are also these sweet potato vines, fried with green peppers. They are crispy and tender and delicious with rice." Shen Qing thought of something again, "Sister, let's kill two Just a chicken! I'll dig up some sweet potatoes and pinch some sweet potato vines."

"What? Still want to kill?" Shen Hui was sharpening the knife and preparing to kill the chicken. The unlucky little rooster had its legs tied and was tied to the edge of the kitchen.

This was just in case they couldn't catch it after dawn in the morning. They went to the chicken coop and caught it before going to bed last night.

Grandma Shen also felt distressed, "How big is this chicken? It would be a pity to kill it and eat its meat. You are not allowed to kill it."
Zhou Laidi didn't care, "Oh! Qing girl wants to do more so that she can be filial to her second uncle later, right?"

Shen Qing shook his head, "I wanted to give it as a gift, but not to my second uncle. He is the steward of a wealthy family in the town. He bought me a lot of tea. He is a respectable person. I got a benefit and I have to return the favor. "

Shen Hui heard her sister mention this and didn't stop her immediately, "Then I'll catch the chicken right now." After thinking about it, she shouted to the next door again, "Huo Lin, come here and help me catch the chicken!"

"Here we come!" Huo Lin ran over and went directly into the bamboo forest behind.

It was not easy to catch the loose chickens. He and Shen Hui stopped one and caught them, and it took a lot of effort to catch them.

Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, Granny Shen's face turned bad, "You prodigal girl, I will be defeated by you sooner or later."

Zhou Laidi was also not happy, "If you really have money, you are your father, why don't you think about your second uncle?"

Shen Qingtan smiled and said: "When the second aunt left, I just caught a chicken and killed it. In addition, I also prepared two kilograms of tea, one for my father and one for the second uncle. The weather is getting hotter, so I will heat a pot of water in the morning. Put some tea leaves and carry them to the fields while working, which is the best way to quench your thirst."

Zhou Laidi laughed again, "That's a good thing."

Granny Shen was happy in her heart, but her face was deliberately serious, "It's good if you have a heart, her second aunt, your family has raised more than 60 chickens this year, are you short of chickens to eat? I don't want to kill it, but here I am brazen enough to ask for it." , Shame or not!"

Zhou Laidi was used to being scolded by her, so she didn't get angry, "I wanted to raise it in the mountains, isn't it different!"

A large pot of boiling water was boiled in the kitchen. The chicken was killed and placed in a large wooden basin. The boiling water was poured into the chicken and scalded. After a while, the feathers could be plucked.

"Give it to me. I'll wash it at the river." Zhou Laidi put the two stripped chickens in a basket and took them to the river to disembowel them.

When she came back, Shen Hui carried the basket and went in to cut vegetables.

Shen Qing called Huo Lin over and asked him to help peel the sweet potato vines.

Huo Lin complained, "It's not too much trouble just for a bite to eat!"

Shen Qing said: "This is called eating carefully. Later, we will eat first, and then I will prepare the fried chicken, put it in a casserole, and send it to the Mao'er Alley in the town. I promised the housekeeper that if there is something good, I can't do it." Forget about him, although it is just an ordinary home-cooked dish, we raised it ourselves and cooked it ourselves, so it has a different meaning."

She shouted towards the kitchen again: "Sister, give me a small jar of the chili sauce, I have to take it with me."

"Hey! Got it."

After a while, Shen Qing thought of something again and turned to ask Granny Shen, "Grandma, how many families in our village are raising ducks this year, and when will the first batch of ducks be released from the cage."

"Why are you asking this?"

"Girl Qing, have you thought of some money-making idea again? This time, you have to take us along to do it together. You can't always take advantage of your uncle and the others." It was Zhou Laidi who was thinking quickly and approached with excitement.

She finally knew that no matter where these two girls learned their craft, they could still make money.

I think she has been busy in the kitchen for more than ten years, cooking food just for eating, and never thought of using it to make money, and of course, she couldn't.

If money were so easy to earn, there would not be so many poor people.

Shen Qing ignored her and just stared at Granny Shen.

Grandma Shen was helpless by her, so she had to count them in detail, "There are many families in our village who raise ducks. Almost every family raises ducks, but there are more and less. In total, each family has at least a dozen ducks, and more than two." Thirty, ducks are different from chickens. People here like to eat cured ducks or pickled duck eggs in winter, so they kill them at the end of the year and only leave the female ducks to nest. In fact, they can almost be released from the cage by June [-]. You What do you want to cook with duck? Braised in braised sauce or stewed in clear soup, it doesn’t matter! I still like to eat cured duck, it has a lot of salty and sesame oil, and I use the cured duck soup to cook cabbage and tofu. This was the best thing when your father was alive."
