And after Chen Yang returned home, he had to continue to work.

However, before you get to work, of course, you have to take a comfortable shower.

There is no solar energy or water heater at home, and the water for bathing is all heated by firewood.

Fortunately, the fourth uncle helped him boil a pot of water in advance, so he could wash off his stinky sweat directly when he returned home.

Seeing my nephew working so hard, washing and drying mountain pepper in the morning and taking care of Xiaoqian, and going into the mountains to chop wood under the scorching sun at noon, it was impossible to say that he was not distressed.

Although the fourth uncle is honest, after all, he and Chen Yang are close relatives who have not yet produced three generations, and seeing him working so hard and so hard, he will definitely worry that his body will not be able to bear it.

In addition, just now seeing that Chen Yang actually pulled nearly two hundred catties of firewood back from the mountain, the fourth uncle was even more worried.

When Chen Yang came out of the bath, he couldn't help but say: "Xiaoyang, why don't you go into the mountains and chop wood for me tomorrow, you take care of Xiaoqian at home." ”

Chen Yang smiled and hugged Xiao Qian from his arms and said, "No need, from tomorrow, we don't have to chop firewood, I have already told Lu Wenen, from tomorrow onwards, let him chop firewood and sell it to us." ”

"Lu Wenen?" the fourth uncle was stunned for a moment, then nodded again, "Lu Wenen is a good person, but ......"

The fourth uncle didn't finish speaking, but Chen Yang could understand what he meant: "Fourth uncle, don't worry, although Lu Wenen is not very smart, he still understands the most basic rights and wrongs, you don't have to worry about him being instigated." ”

"Hmm. The fourth uncle nodded again, looked at the fresh peanuts that had just been purchased and said, "Xiaoyang, the peanuts that have been harvested recently are getting fewer and fewer, and today there are only 1,000 catties, and supermarkets and restaurants are clamoring to increase the wholesale volume. ”

Chen Yang shook his head without hesitation.

It's not that he doesn't want to make more money, but he knows very well that the skill card given by the system clearly states that it can only be made with fresh peanuts, and if he uses dried peanuts to fill the number, it will be equivalent to smashing the signboard of 'Chen Yang'.

Now, through the sale of saltwater peanuts, although the name Chen Yang is not yet well-known, in the hearts of several restaurant owners and supermarket managers in the county, he can be regarded as a 'conscientious producer'.

As well as most diners who love saltwater peanuts, they also have a fascination with the sign of 'Made by Chen Yang'.

This will be a good preparation for the mountain pepper sauce and many more things to come.

And if he forgets his original intention and seeks benefits, it will definitely be shooting himself in the foot.

So, if you can't harvest fresh peanuts, wait until next year to make them.

The original intention is the most difficult thing to maintain, but it is also the key to his success. Therefore, it is impossible for him to forget his original intention for the sake of temporary interests.

Chen Yang shook his head and said: "You just tell them that now you can only harvest so many fresh peanuts, just distribute them according to the previous proportion, and don't offend anyone." ”

The fourth uncle didn't understand Chen Yang's thoughts, but he just thought that whether it was fresh flowers or dried peanuts, the saltwater peanuts made were the same, so he continued to persuade: "Xiaoyang, dried peanuts are similar to flowers after soaking in water." ”

"How can it be the same?" Chen Yang said while carrying Xiao Qian with a strap, "Let me tell you this, this peanut is like a watermelon, you dry the watermelon, and then pour sugar water into it, do you think they are still the same?"

With such a metaphor, the fourth uncle understood: "It's no difference, aren't the watermelons sold in our town often injected with sugar water." ”

Chen yang:......

After carrying Xiao Qian, Chen Yang had to go to the vegetable garden to find fresh spices.

It's a pity that the mountains can't follow. However, the chickens and ducks in the backyard were also spared from poisoning.

Walking into the vegetable garden with a vegetable basket, the sunset has not yet completely set.

There are a lot of vegetables in the garden, and there are also some spices.

The common millet peppers and green onions are the soul of every vegetable garden. Therefore, Chen Yang's vegetable garden must also be indispensable.

After picking some millet peppers and some chopped green onions, bring them back to the yard, first pick the green onions to remove the aging and dry parts, and then remove the stems of the millet peppers.

From the stairwell, I picked up the old ginger that I had broken back from the mountains earlier.

Take out the garlic and star anise brought back by the fourth uncle from the storage room.

After that, wash the spices, cut what should be cut, and chop what should be chopped.

After preparing all the spices, make the mountain pepper sauce according to the method of skill cards.

Stuff the dry firewood into the earthen stove, raise the blazing fire, put on the pot, heat the oil, fry the green onion segments in the pot until dry, and remove them.

Pour in the mountain pepper until the mountain pepper is fried to a bright green color, slightly flattened, and then ready to remove.

Put the green onion, ginger and garlic in a bowl, open a small hole, and put the oiled mountain pepper, chili pepper and salt evenly around the area in turn.

Add the remaining oil to the star anise, heat it and remove the star anise, until there is a slight black smoke, then turn off the heat, and slowly pour the oil into the sauce, stirring while pouring to avoid burning.

After pouring halfway, let the remaining oil cool for a few minutes before pouring into the sauce.

Although the steps of making mountain pepper sauce may seem tedious, it is extremely simple to make.

After all, there's a skill stuck in your head.

As soon as the fourth uncle finished soaking the peanuts, he smelled a very strong smell.

Although he witnessed the whole process of making mountain pepper sauce, he still couldn't believe that the taste of the mountain pepper sauce was so strong.

It's more than ten times stronger than the chili sauce brewed at home.

That's a bit of an exaggeration.

The fourth uncle looked at the sauce filled with a large aluminum pot and bucket, and said very suspiciously: "Xiaoyang, are you sure that mountain pepper can be eaten?"

"Of course you can eat it. Chen Yang replied while cleaning up the things in the kitchen, "Not only can you eat it, but it's also very fragrant." ”

The fourth uncle looked at the extremely bright red, green and white sauce with a suspicious expression, and said hesitantly: "But how did I hear that others bought this mountain pepper to make wind oil essence?"

"Don't listen to other people's fools. Chen Yang said with a smile, "This mountain pepper is generally used to refine mountain pepper oil. If you look on the Internet, the price of a pound of ordinary mountain pepper oil is about 20 yuan. ”

"Isn't that cheap?" the fourth uncle muttered, "Peanut oil costs more than a dozen yuan a catty." ”

"Listen to me. There is not much real mountain pepper oil in these mountain pepper oils that sell for 20 yuan a bottle, and it is estimated that there are not a single tael. This mountain pepper oil is made by blending edible vegetable oil with mountain pepper oil. Real mountain pepper essential oil can be sold for one or two hundred yuan a catty. ”

The fourth uncle was confused when he heard it: "What is the wind oil essence made of?"

"Maybe it's mint and camphor trees. Chen Yang looked at the fourth uncle with a strange expression, "Fourth uncle, why are you so interested in the wind oil essence?

The fourth uncle's old face froze: "Nonsense, what can I watch?"

With that, he turned around and went to the yard to clean up.

Chen Yang laughed twice, and quickly sped up to clean up the kitchen.

The fourth uncle sometimes goes home to eat, sometimes stays at Chen Yang's house to eat, and tonight there is a special sauce, so he wants to stay and taste it.

There is no dish tonight, just a grass carp.

The fish is grass carp, and the county sells it for eight or nine yuan a catty, which is much cheaper than pork. So, lately, the family has been eating fish a lot.

In order not to get tired of eating crooked, Chen Yang changes the pattern almost every night.

Steamed grass carp, boiled grass carp, sweet and sour grass carp, braised fish pieces, spicy grass carp, grass carp roasted tofu, crispy grass carp, spicy grass carp, tomato grass carp......

Anyway, he has done it all over the way that Baidu can find.

But no matter what you do, this grass carp still tastes like that—light.

Even if you make spicy grass carp and spicy grass carp, the soup is flavorful, and the fish is tasteless.

Today, with mountain pepper, it is natural to make it in a different way.

Mountain pepper grass carp!

First, cut the fish and wash it, cut it into slices, and cut the head into two pieces.

Heat the oil with firewood, add a few slices of ginger and fry it in the lard, then put in the fish head, fish tail, and fish bones to fry in the pot, then put a little salt, and then pour boiling water and boil in the pot. The purpose is to boil the soup white and absorb the flavor.

When boiling the fish head, stir the fish fillets with flour so that they can be hung with flour.

After the soup boils white, start to put the fish fillet, the soup boils for about five minutes, and after seeing the fish fillet turn color, then pour it into the basin.

Finally, scoop a spoonful of mountain pepper sauce with a spoon, pour it into a basin, add monosodium glutamate, chopped green onion and other ingredients, stir it and serve.

Because the fourth uncle had never seen this kind of practice, he had been standing at the door of the kitchen with Xiao Qian in his arms and observing from afar.

He still felt quite normal in the previous steps, until he saw Chen Yang scoop a big spoonful of mountain pepper sauce into the vegetable pot, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Xiaoyang Xiaoyang, are you sure this thing can be eaten? ”

Chen Yang smiled helplessly: "Fourth uncle, didn't I tell you just now, this mountain pepper can be used to make spice oil, and it can naturally be eaten, you can put a hundred hearts." If you eat badly, count it in mine. ”

After putting the mountain pepper paste in the fish broth, the mountain pepper grass carp is ready.

Chen Yang walked out of the kitchen with a large plate full of fish.

Seeing the wind in the courtyard, the evening breeze gently blows the smell of mountain pepper grass carp, and several surrounding households can smell a rich and fragrant smell.

Familiar, very familiar. But for a moment, everyone couldn't remember where they had heard it.

You say it tastes like mountain pepper, but it lacks a 'green flavor' compared to the taste of mountain pepper. The green smell in plants is the same as the fishy smell in animals.

It's as if someone removed the green smell of mountain pepper, and it smells exceptionally delicious.

Liu Xiulian stood in her yard, stretched her neck, sniffed carefully, and after making sure that the fragrance did not come from the bag she used to hold mountain pepper, she asked very suspiciously: "Do you smell a strange fragrance?"

A strange fragrance to be exact.
