Regarding the column, the editor said that she would go to the magazine to ask about the situation, and if she could, she would try her best to help Chen Xin fight for it.

Food safety may not be sensitive to the food industry, but her husband is in this industry, and their magazines are also involved in food, and there is even a high probability that they will negotiate cooperation with brands, so it is very important to ensure that the quality of the partners does not have problems.

The day after the dinner, Liu Chunyan's sister-in-law rushed over with her brother.

Chen Xin didn't meet them, and directly bought a train ticket at the same time and left.

She didn't go back to C University, but went to the county seat of the Zhang family's hometown for a walk.

The Zhang family's hometown likes to eat spicy, every household has chili peppers, and the people here are also very good at making hot sauce. There is not much difference in spiciness, but most of the hot sauce is very simple, that is, simple chopped pepper, only one hot sauce method is different, and other ingredients are added to the chopped pepper, and a total of four or five items are sold.

It just so happens that the village where the family is located is in the same town as Zhangjia Village, but one is on the mountain and the other is at the bottom of the mountain.

In addition to hot sauce, the boss's family also sells rice noodles, which is said to be a century-old ancestral craft, and his family's hot sauce is also paired with rice noodles. Chen Xin lives in a hotel in the town, and every morning after getting up, she goes downstairs to eat a bowl of steaming rice noodles, and adds haggis and mutton to the like.

Next to the town is a subordinate unit of the Geological Exploration Bureau, and the unit itself has a canteen, but many workers would rather spend their own money to eat, that is, for the family's noodles and old soup, as well as the spicy sauce that can be eaten with a particularly good taste.

After chatting with the proprietress for three or four days, Chen Xin finally said that she wanted to buy the proprietress to make the secret recipe for making hot sauce.

"What's the secret recipe? The proprietress smiled heartily, with a slight black and red face with shyness, "If you like to eat, I'll teach you how to make it." I think you're a foreigner, and you won't steal business from my family anyway. ”

His family's main dish is rice noodles, and the hot sauce is just a side dish, and it is sold cheaply, and even the people who eat noodles in his house eat the hot sauce casually, but they can't take it away. So when she heard that Chen Xin wanted to buy the secret recipe for hot sauce, the proprietress still thought that this girl was stupid. Any housewife on this side can do it, it's just that it's done well, plus the hot sauce is also related to chili peppers, and you can't make delicious hot sauce without good chili peppers, so the proprietress didn't say much to Chen Xin at all, and took her to the backyard.

"It just so happens that I'm going to make hot sauce today, you can follow me to make it again, it's very simple, but you have to control the time and degree of fermentation, as well as the ingredients, just choose according to your taste." ”

The proprietress is a real person, and she teaches a little unambiguous. Chen Xin only paid two days of labor and learned the craft of the proprietress from the boss. As the proprietress said, the method of making hot sauce is basically the same, but it depends on talent in the choice of materials and matching.

Chen Xin felt that her talent was okay, so she tried to buy some materials from the proprietress and then made a jar herself. It takes about 7 to 10 days to ferment before stirring, after which it is ready to eat.

This kind of chopped pepper that has not been soaked in oil is stored for a short time, and if you want to store it for a longer time, you have to add vegetable oil to soak it.

Chen Xin directly put the jar here with the proprietress, and made an appointment to open the jar again after seven days.

"If you want to make a delicious hot sauce, you can go to Linshan Village, where the chili peppers are very good. Earlier, when my father-in-law was still there, I had to use chili peppers from Linshan Village to make hot sauce, but then my father-in-law and mother-in-law were gone, and my man was also busy, and I had to take my children to help with things, so I didn't have time to go to Linshan Village to buy chili peppers. ”

The hostess was also a pity. Linshan Village is a little far away from them, and they generally don't send chili peppers over, and their family's demand is not large, so it is better to buy more delicious food for their children to spend on a special trip. Especially in the past two years, there have been fewer people eating hot sauce, and it is even more impossible to make a special trip to the mountains.

Chen Xin raised her eyebrows, the name Linshan Village was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.

If I took the map again, it was only separated from the Zhang family's village by a ravine.

It is said that it is very close but also very far, the mountains here are big, a ravine has to climb two mountains, and it takes more than half a day for an adult to go back and forth, if Chen Xin is allowed to go, it is estimated that she will set off in the morning, and it will be great to be able to go to another village before nightfall.

Now that she knew the news, Chen Xin wrote it down in her small notebook, and planned to talk about it with Brother Zhang's brother and second sister Zhang after she went to Zhang's house. And she thinks that since the chili peppers in Linshan Village are good, Zhangjia Village, which is basically in the same dimension and altitude, should not be weak. If you have a chance, you have to compare it well.

On the afternoon of the day when the hot sauce was made, Chen Xin took a bus to Zhangjia Village, and it was already dinner time for her to arrive at Zhang's house. Seeing Chen Xin who suddenly appeared, the Zhang family was also startled.

"Xiaoxin, why don't you say anything when you come back, so let the eldest brother pick you up. ”

"Why, it's not like I can't find my way. Actually, I've been back for a few days, and I've been walking around the county for a few days, and I've been delayed in the town for a few days. ”

After listening to Chen Xin's words, the second sister casually asked what she was looking at in the town.

"Look at it as hot sauce. Chen Xin stuffed the noodles into her mouth, she was really hungry. I didn't eat much at noon, and I climbed the mountain again, and now I'm so hungry that I can eat a sea bowl.

Yan Chunhua saw Chen Xin for the first time, and she was very curious and a little reserved about this aunt Zhang Zhang, a college student in a big city.

"This is Teacher Yan who is here to teach Big Brother Technology, right? Hello, my name is Chen Xin, and I am Aunt Zhang Zhang. Just call me by my name. ”

After Chen Xin introduced herself to Yan Chunhua, she said that she was not polite first.

When she finished eating and put down the bowl, Zhang Zhang's eyes came up, hugging Chen Xin's neck, and there was a faint grievance on her little face.

"Ouch, little fat man, you're heavy again. Grandma fed you something delicious? Did you leave it for your aunt?" Chen Xin teased Zhang Zhang, and showed him the toys that he brought back from the south before he calmed down the little guy.

"I didn't have much time to go shopping this time, I didn't bring anything back, I brought a watch to my eldest brother, a coat brought to you by my second sister, and Grandpa Zhang's clothes, but I am not very convenient alone, I sent a mail package back, and it is estimated that it should arrive in these two days. ”

Only the watch for Brother Zhang she carried with her, and some of Zhang Zhang's small toys were also carried with her.

Fortunately, when she came back from the south, she saw that there was a silk fabric on sale, and the scarf was of good color and pattern, and it was cheap, so she bought ten of them to give away, which came in handy.
