The splendid pastoral of the fierce scholar

Chapter 17 The Pepper
"Oh, you said this pickled radish. This is your mother's family skill. Although this pickled radish is a side dish, it is a test of skill. Even if there is only a little difference when making it, it is made. The taste is far worse. What's the matter? Yiyi, you also want to learn how to pickle radishes?"

"Well, the sour radish pickled by mother is really delicious, Yiyi also wants to learn."

Seeing that Chen Yiyi was so interested, Mrs. Wang was also very happy, and immediately talked to Chen Yiyi about the principle of pickling radishes.

"Yiyi, my mother told you that although this pickled radish is a small thing, it has a lot of knowledge. Let's talk about your grandma, no one praises the pickled radish, and people even use the pickled radish from grandma's house when they hold banquets. Well, grandma learned from your grandma's mother since she was three years old. Even mother, she also started learning at four years old. It's a pity that your mother is not as capable as your grandma, and she still can't act like your grandma. Son. Hey, Yiyi, you have to work hard, learn this well, and you will be more attractive when you find your husband's family in the future."

As soon as Chen Yiyi's future was mentioned, Wang began to think about Chen Yiyi's marriage in the future.But thinking of the scar on Chen Yiyi's left face, the light in Wang's eyes dimmed silently.

Seeing this, Chen Yiyi immediately comforted her: "Mother, Yiyi must work hard, they all say that girls are the best at what they can do."

Upon hearing such words, Mrs. Wang frowned slightly.

"Yiyi is right, a girl is capable and able to live a life!"

Seeing that Wang's condition is better, Chen Yiyi still doesn't forget his way of getting rich, so he hastened to ask: "Mother, this radish is very spicy, does it taste better if the pepper is used well?"

When Wang heard Chen Yiyi's question, she felt that her daughter was smart: "Of course, the condiments of pickled radish are the most important. If this radish is to be pickled spicy, pepper is very important. It doesn't matter." What variety it is, when it is picked, whether it is dried or not, all can marinate different flavors."

"Oh, what kind of chili is the best?"

"It depends on personal taste. Both your grandpa and your grandma like spicy food, but what they love most is the spicy aroma, so our pickled radish is specially pickled with dry chili. And the chili It must also be Chaotian pepper, this kind of pepper is the most fragrant. By the way, add a little white pepper to enhance the taste."

"Then what kind of peppers do we have here?"

"There are several kinds of peppers in Baiya Village, and the most popular one is Chaotian pepper. The biggest advantage of this kind of pepper is its fragrance. However, there are also some people who like spicy food. They like to grow millet peppers the most. The kind of peppers are red, small, It's very spicy! And some people like the taste of white chili peppers. Although white chili peppers are not as spicy as millet peppers when eaten, they have a lot of stamina and can keep people's mouths hot for a long time after eating."

Only these kinds?Chen Yiyi also wanted to have more varieties to choose from.

"Mom, are these the only ones? Nothing else?"

Mrs. Wang was washing the dishes while talking just now, and the dishes are almost finished at this time.Hearing Chen Yiyi's question, she walked to a small kimchi jar in the corner.I saw that Mrs. Wang carefully picked up the lid of the jar and stretched her hand in.Then he took out his hand more carefully, and put the lid on the jar gently.After finishing, some water was added to the edge of the altar again.

After doing this, Wang turned around and handed Chen Yiyi a small chili with a smile.

Chen Yiyi took it suspiciously, and looked at the Wang family's very precious little pepper in his right hand.

"I don't know what this is, Yiyi, mother tells you, this is an exclusive specialty of grandma's family!"

"Special product?" Chen Yiyi looked at this little pepper. Although it was indeed different in size and the color looked much brighter, could this be considered an exclusive specialty?
Seeing Chen Yiyi's disbelieving expression, Wang smiled.

"Yiyi probably doesn't believe it. Your grandma told her mother when she was as young as Yiyi, and she didn't believe it. Actually, your grandfather used to worship a godfather in the mountains." Godfather, Chen Yiyi said this thing There are more modern ones, but China has always had the habit of worshiping godfathers for children to grow up safely. It seems that this grandfather's family is very fashionable in ancient times.

Mrs. Wang didn't know what Chen Yiyi was complaining about at the moment, so she continued: "So your grandfather always ran to the mountains at that time, and your grandfather's godfather was proficient in all kinds of things in the mountains, and taught your grandfather to recognize herbs. Later, when your grandfather married your grandmother, he took your grandmother to visit the godfather in the mountain. After the visit, when you went down the mountain, your grandmother wanted to pee on the way, so she ran to the grass tent on the side, and the result was I saw a bright red pepper in the grass."

Chen Yiyi admired the legendary grandma's luck when she peed on the special product. She wondered if the special product had been irrigated in the first place...

"Later, your grandfather tried it and found that the little pepper was not poisonous. Your grandmother thought it was very beautiful, and it smelled very spicy and fragrant, so she pickled radishes with this on a whim. Unexpectedly, the pickled radishes were very delicious. , spicy and fragrant. Your grandma liked this little pepper very much at the time, because it still looked beautiful, so your grandpa took the remaining chili stalks and planted them, but it was still alive. Later, your grandma Treat this as your own unique spice, no one else knows about this little pepper, and your grandma only told your mother."

So it turns out, grandpa, you are really romantic, it seems that grandpa and grandma are very affectionate.

But, Chen Yiyi looked at the little pepper in her hand and thought, can this be my fortune-telling treasure?
