"Big sister, are you okay, I heard my mother-in-law say just now that there are many people coming to the old house, all of them are aimed at you. You're alright."

Sister-in-law Wang had just stabilized her mother-in-law and planned to go over to see what was going on. I saw my mother-in-law come back with a blue face just now, thinking that something had happened, but after listening to my mother-in-law, I felt that the Xiao family's face was really not ordinary. At the beginning, I wanted to let Da Lang and his wife starve to death. I didn't give a penny or a grain of food. Now, when I see that people are doing well, I will come to the door. You say that there is no such truth in the world!

Seeing that Sister-in-law Wang was angry, Xia Chan patted her hand to signal her to rest assured, and distributed some of the candy she bought yesterday to the children in the yard. Turning his head, he asked Sister-in-law Wang if she had cleaned up. Sister-in-law Wang smiled and went back to the house to get the basket and follow Xia Chan up the mountain together

When they reached the foot of the mountain, it was almost midnight, and Xia Cicada looked up at the sun in the sky, it was now the end of April, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter.

"Big sister, don't you want to dig wild vegetables? Let's not go to the mountain from last time today. The mountain is close to the village, and it is estimated that there are no wild vegetables left. This sister-in-law will take you to the mountains a little farther away. I may not be able to go back in the middle of the day. But don't worry, I've already told my mother-in-law to let her deliver food to Dalang at noon."

Xia Chan thought about this and hurriedly thanked Wang's sister-in-law.

Today, they went up a mountain on the north side of the village, and when they came to the mountain, Xia Chan and Wang's sister-in-law began to dig up wild vegetables all over the mountain. Probably because the mountain is a little further away from the village, the mountain is extremely rich in wild vegetables, and some of the common ones are numerous. There are also some uncommon mushrooms. Summer cicadas can also occasionally pick one or two rubs. It's just that after a long time, she still hasn't seen any trace of chili. Instead, a few pepper trees were found. I found some fungus on a few dead trees.

"Big sister, what are you doing picking this black thing, it looks ugly and unpalatable. If you don't like the lack of vegetables, sister-in-law digs a lot, come, sister-in-law will give you a few handfuls out" said Wang's sister-in-law and grabbed it out of the basket

Xia Chan hurriedly pressed her hand, "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood, although this thing doesn't look good, the fried vegetables are still delicious." Sister-in-law, you must believe me."

Sister-in-law Wang was skeptical: "Really? ”

Xia Chan smiled: "Sister-in-law, when did I lie to you?" ”

"That's right" Sister-in-law Wang thought about it, and remembered that she had accidentally seen a red thing just now, since the eldest sister knew so much, ask her if she knows

Xia Chan listened, and excitedly grabbed Wang's sister-in-law's hand, "Sister-in-law, where did you see it, take me over to see"

Xia Chan pulled Sister-in-law Wang and quickly came to that place in the direction she pointed. It's really a chili pepper, Xia Cicada stepped forward and picked one, stuffed it into his mouth, and suddenly a spicy sensation passed from his mouth. In her previous life, she was basically a spicy person, and when she first crossed over, she was very uncomfortable for a while without chili peppers. Today, she already wanted to give up, but she didn't expect to be found by her in the end.

Xia Chan smiled stupidly with the chili pepper, and looked at Wang's sister-in-law with an inexplicable expression. I thought she had fallen into an evil spirit. Hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the pepper in her hand and threw it aside. Shake her body vigorously

"Big sister, come back to your senses. Big sister, you can't be fine. ”

Xia Chan was just looking forward to her bright future, and was suddenly very unhappy when she was woken up vigorously, and just wanted to scold her father, but after a closer look, it turned out to be Wang's sister-in-law, and remembered a series of actions she had just after seeing Chili. Scratching his head in embarrassment

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine. Really, I just got a little excited to see it all of a sudden. Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to worry you."

"Hey, you're fine, I just saw you motionless and giggled to myself. I thought something was wrong with you. Now it's good to see if you're okay. It's just, do you really know those red things? It is said that even cows are not eaten with these things. ”

"Sister-in-law, this red thing is called chili. As the name suggests, the taste is very spicy, so the cow does not eat it. But this thing is very delicious when used for stir-frying. Sister-in-law, you wait, I'll pick these up, let's look around here and see if there's any. ”

There are more than a dozen pepper trees in this place found by Wang's sister-in-law, and there are a lot of red peppers hanging on each of them, but because it is out of season, the peppers on it have been air-dried, and the summer cicadas should be very careful when picking them, otherwise, the seeds inside will be torn off

"Sister, you tell me how to get it, let's get it together, we'll hurry up" Sister-in-law Wang saw that Xia Cicada was picking carefully, and seeing that it was not early, she squatted down and helped pick it together like Xia Cicada

Although there are only a dozen of them, I have picked a lot of them. Looking at the red pepper in the basket, I immediately felt very satisfied. After picking these, they walked around the neighborhood again, but found no sign of the peppers. Seeing that the sky was approaching, the basket was already full, and Xiao Dalang, who was not worried about being at home alone, went home with Wang's sister-in-law.

When he got home, Xia Chan put the basket into the kitchen and took a look at Xiao Dalang first, and asked him if he had eaten at noon, whether he had taken the medicine, and waited for him to answer one by one and confirm that he was okay before going to the kitchen to pour out the contents of the basket and tidy them one by one.

It's late spring, and it's the time to plant peppers, so the summer cicadas plan to get some seeds out and plant them on the edge of the vegetable patch.

Xia Cicada has become a man of action since he came here, and as soon as he thought of medium chili peppers, he went to the kitchen to get a small bowl, and then dialed a dozen chili peppers, put all the seeds into a small bowl, and went to the big pot to get some warm water. Set aside to soak

Finally take a day off, eat casually in the morning and noon, and in the evening she wants to treat herself, a few days ago I bought some rice, tonight I will steam rice to eat, and a piece of meat, yesterday braised pork to eat, today I found a chili, just fry a spicy cabbage, there are some sauerkraut at home, and then fry a sauerkraut fried meat. Make another winter melon soup.

The dinner was very rich, Xiao Dalang praised Xia Cicada's cooking skills while eating, but when he ate hot and sour cabbage, because he had never eaten chili, he was not used to it for a while, and he was choked. Seeing this, Xia Chan hurriedly poured a bowl of water for him, and when Xiao Dalang eased up, he asked puzzledly

"Daughter-in-law, what did you put in this cabbage, how do you feel different from what you used to eat. It feels so spicy. ”

"It's different, I put chili peppers in it when I stir-fried today. That's this red thing. It's called chili pepper, and I saw it when I went to the mountains today to pick wild vegetables. Let me tell you, the chili pepper is like this, you may feel a little spicy at first, but after this strength, you will find that the spicy feeling is quite good. After a while, after you get used to it, if you don't eat a meal, you will miss it."

Xiao Dalang looked incredulous, "It's so magical"

Xia Cicada took a pair of chopsticks and put cabbage into Xiao Dalang's bowl, "Of course, come, try again." Rest assured, you're going to love the chili. Tomorrow, I'm going to put a little chili pepper in the soup base of the ramen."

Although it was a little spicy when he ate it just now, Xiao Dalang couldn't stand the bewitchment when he saw Xia Cicada eating it happily, so he ate it a few more times. I was able to accept this taste slowly.

This dinner lasted longer than ever, and both of them were very satisfied, especially the bowl of sour and hot cabbage. In the end, Xia Cicada even drank the soup.
