Chapter 47: Pepper Sprouts
Zanthoxylum sprouts, as the name suggests, are the buds of the pepper tree, the nutritional value of this thing is too high, and the oil is bright and green, how to make it is delicious, but now people don't realize that this thing is a treasure in the sprouts, but Zhang Zhaohua, who has eaten this dish in his previous life, has heard the introduction, saying that it is a court tribute in the past, for the royal family and nobles to eat.

Seeing that this thing has not been discovered by anyone now, that is, more than a dozen are planted on the mountain behind the Ding family's set, and the villagers are all picking peppercorns, who would think of eating that young shoot, but I didn't expect that Zheng actually knew that this thing could be eaten and could make vegetables.
Zheng's crispy pepper sprouts are not made of fresh pepper sprouts, she is made of dried vegetable leaves after the sprouts of trees last spring, and this pepper sprouts are not the main dish, the main dish is tofu balls.
Zhang Zhaohua was surprised to eat the pepper sprouts spread under the tofu balls, although it was wrapped in a layer of fried flour, Zhang Zhaohua still tasted the taste of the new vegetable pepper sprouts, and only after asking did he know that he could still eat such a good thing.
After that, Zhang Zhaohua was very happy, and gave his family a bunch of benefits of eating pepper sprouts, this thing is indeed easy to take care of, and it can be fried, cold, fried, and shabu-shabu when it is picked off, Zhang Qi and Wang saw what she said, and they were only half-convinced, but they allowed her to go back to the mountain behind Ding's market with Zheng to pick fresh shoots in March.
At noon on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Zheng saw that Zhang Zhaohua really liked to eat this dish, so he took out all the dried pepper sprouts that had been prepared, and took advantage of the fact that there was most of the oil left over from frying oil fruits, fried hemp leaves and croquettes before most of the pot, and all of them were wrapped in flour and fried.
As soon as half of the food was eaten, there was a knock on the door, everyone was a little surprised, this point is when eating, unless it is a heart-to-eat meal, otherwise it will not knock on the door, Zhang Sheng stuffed half of the steamed bun in his hand into his mouth, went over and opened the door, and looked surprised: "Zhaodi, why are you here?"
As soon as Zhang Zhaohua heard that it was Zhaodi, he got up to look, and saw Zhang Zhaodi coming in with a white and vain face, and he had already opened his mouth, but seeing that Zhang Zhaohua's family was there, he muttered a few words, bowed his head and said hello.
"It's coming to me, I remember," Zhang Zhaohua vaguely knew in his heart, so he said: "It's missing a few colored threads, and I said that I came to find me - let's go to my room." β
Zhang Zhaohua and Zhao Di entered the room, and as soon as the door closed, Zhao Di hurriedly said: "What else can you do, my father he-"
"Don't worry," Zhang Zhaohua sat her down and said, "Say it slowly." β
It turned out that Zhang Zhaodi got "guidance" from Zhang Zhaohua, and after going back, he said 1510, Uncle Zhang and his mother-in-law are convinced, Zhang Zhaohua is taught by the grain chief to read this thing, since it is said that it is from the book, then it must be this method. Uncle Zhang asked his mother-in-law to cut her pants, and hurriedly went to Lijia Village to borrow three buckets of rice, and boiled porridge and drank it at night.
On the fourth day, that is, on the evening of the tenth day of the new year, Uncle Zhang fell hard, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he broke the skin and bled blood, and he also fell to the ground for no reason.
But I didn't expect that Uncle Zhang went out this morning, and when he came back, he was in a trance, saying that he could hear the rustling sound everywhere he went, and it was the snake that slipped away to find him for revenge, and it didn't work to explain it, the snake wanted his life.
Zhang Zhaohua really wanted to explain the specific meaning of "Cup Bow Snake Shadow", but it is estimated that they can't understand the meaning contained in it, it is nothing more than scaring themselves, it seems that the previous method still did not eradicate this heart disease - Zhang Zhaohua thought about it, and said: "I'll go to the grain chief, he must have a way, you go back to the grass head doctor to ask for two cinnabar pills to boil water for your father to drink, and relax his heart." β
After that, Zhang Zhaohua raised his feet and went to the grain chief's house, the grain chief also looked like he had just eaten, and the family sat in the house with a teacup to eat. Seeing her coming, Yue's rather uncomfortable expression fell into Zhang Zhaohua's eyes, and she didn't have anything else to say, but she bowed generously and went to the study with the grain chief to talk.
As soon as Zhang Zhaohua said the matter, the grain chief also smiled and said: "Seeing a snake is unlucky, it's just a subsidiary of the village husband and a foolish woman, Uncle Sun Ao killing the snake is not seen in the official history, but it is just a miscellaneous compilation written by later generations in the name of Liu Xiangzhi, but it is so widely circulated, there are many fish, turtles, turtles and snakes in Daze, Chu State, people who go into the mountains to hunt can see it every day, and they have never heard of people who have seen snakes and died." β
"The problem is that everyone believes in this now," Zhang Zhaohua pouted, "and everyone believes it." I see that Uncle Zhang is also scared to death by himself. β
"It's not that it's ominous, it's that there's ominous in my heart, it's not that I'm going to suffer, it's that I'm sure I'm going to sufferβyou said that I said a so-called 'solution' to calm his heart, but it didn't work; so what can I do now to eradicate his heart disease, you must have thought of a way to come to me." β
"You Shengming," Zhang Zhaohua pursed his lips and smiled: "I just thought, let people catch a cauliflower snake from the ground, how to find a way to let him see it, and kill it with his own hands to completely dispel his suspicions." β
"Then let your uncle go and arrest him," said the grain chief, "If the other villagers know about this, they will be quite surprised." β
Zhang Geng and Zhang Zhaohua came to the ridge, Zhang Geng is very experienced, and when he asked, he was used to catching them when he was a child, and he had caught any toad and weasel, and once he caught a poisonous snake and went back, and he didn't feel scared when he was recognized as a poisonous snake.
"Normally, the cauliflower snake at this time should be dormant in the hole," Zhang Geng said: "But if there is a vole, it is not necessarily, this snake is greedy, can smell the smell of voles, and will run out of the hole." β
Zhang Geng took her to explore the cave and said that the hole where the snake stung was not dug by herself, and most of them were rat holes or cracks next to the roots of trees. Originally, Zhang Zhaohua was asked to stand aside, but Zhang Zhaohua also raised a stick to follow him, Zhang Geng asked her to pay attention, pointing to a gray-black lump mixed with white around a tree hole and said: "There is dung here, and there are traces of snakes lying around." Look at the volume is not very large, it is also a hungry and thin snake, you don't look at it when I dig a hole, go to the side and wait or it will surprise you. β
Zhang Zhaohua knew that he couldn't help by his side, and he might be holding back, so he stood on the ridge according to his words, and muttered in his mouth: "This snake is also very hygienic, I know that it is not convenient to go to the hole, so I will pull it all outside." "In addition to a dry lump of snake dung, you can also see wet and sloppy feces on it, which should be freshly pulled, and the smell is very fishy, more disgusting than cat feces and dog feces, similar to the smell of dead mice mixed with stinky fish and rotten shrimp, it really smells bad.
It would be nice to stay away, Zhang Zhaohua let go of the hand covering his nose, and watched Zhang Geng dig a hole with an iron drill on the side. But he couldn't help but hear the sound of horses' hooves coming from the official road, Zhang Zhaohua raised his eyes and found that a team of five or six people came on horseback.
When they walked in, Zhang Zhaohua found that there were two people sitting on the leading horse. It was an adult sitting in front of a child, and when I looked at the child, he had seen it three or four months ago.
"Gao Xu," Zhang Zhaohua said in surprise, "Gao Xuβ"
Her voice was not loud, but it was still heard by Gao Xu, looked left and right, and saw Zhang Zhaohua standing on the ridge, so he called the team to stop, and got off the horse, and both of them were surprised "Huh".
