At the beginning of the war in August, the good news came that our army won a small victory in the first battle, killing 10,000 enemies. At the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion in August, a small village on the border was slaughtered, women were raped and killed, even babies were not spared, the corpses were piled up, the enemy did something outrageous, our army was furious, blood swore to crusade against the enemy, the big war and small battles continued, everyone on the border of Mobei was in danger, they went south to avoid trouble, and the displaced people fled in all directions.

In September, due to the soaring prices of war goods, especially rice grains and medicinal materials, it was just in time to respond to the fact that there was no money, so don't get sick, because you can't afford to be sick. As for grain, some people can't afford it even if they have money, and even more poor village farmers change from three meals to two meals, and cook porridge with sweet potatoes and rice bran to satisfy their stomachs.

Fortunately, although prices have risen sharply, the war has not spread to a small place like Daao Village in Changping County, and the people are still living and working in peace and contentment, but this year there was only a small drought, and the crops were greatly reduced, and life was not as moist as before.

After the drought, there was more rain, as if it was about to rain for the past two months, but fortunately there was no flooding, and the growth of the new crops was still a relief.

The weather in early autumn was already very cool, Su Liu originally planned to go to Beijing after she and Xuan, but she was stumped because of this and that, and it was easy to set the schedule, but she was busy because of the harvest of chili peppers.

The last crop of chili peppers because of the enough seeds, so it was planted as much as thirteen acres of land, because of the proper cooking, it can be regarded as a bumper harvest, in addition to supplying Song Fei and their restaurant, Su Liu herself also left two hundred catties of chili peppers to make the chili sauce she had long wanted to make.

Su Liu was regarded as a spicy master in her previous life, because of her love for spicy, she also learned to make chili sauce, and when she went to Guilin and Sichuan, she also observed the practice of making garlic hot sauce, so now when making hot sauce, her gestures are also very skillful.

The red peppers were steamed, poured on the big log cutting board, and a knife in each hand, aggressively, both hands stomped up and down quickly, and people were stunned to watch.

"The big girl's knife skills are really good." Cui Niangzi's eyes were full of reverence, and she didn't blink, and said: "This pepper was stomped like this, and it didn't splash around." ”

Su Liu pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, and said, "This is not good, the chili pepper is steamed before stomping, it is better than the raw stamping, and it will not splash everywhere." The ajerky taste of the chili pepper is removed when steaming, and the sauce will be more fragrant. ”

"The girl knows a lot." Cui Niangzi saw that her movements slowed down, so she said, "I'm afraid the girl is tired, let me come, you can watch from the sidelines." ”

Su Liu was also really tired, turning his hands was not for fun, and his wrists were very sore, so he said: "I haven't cooked for a long time, and I'm rusty, so my hands are sore after stomping for a while." ”

Cui Niangzi took the knife in her hand and said with a smile: "The girl is a person who does big things, and we can do this little thing." ”

"My daughter's family needs to cook more, otherwise I will go to someone else's house in the future, how can I serve the family?" Chen walked into the kitchen from outside, and happened to hear a joke.

"Ma'am." When Cui Niangzi saw her coming, she hurriedly put down the knife, wiped her hand twice on her apron, and walked over to salute and say goodbye.

"You're busy with yourself, I'm just here to see if she messes with that chili sauce and comes out." Chen smiled and gave him a hand.

Although the work of stomping the chili pepper was handed over to Cui Niangzi, Su Liu's hand was not idle, but smashed the peeled white garlic, picked up another knife and stomped it, and when he heard this, he replied with a smile: "How can it be so fast." ”

Making chili sauce is not a matter of a moment, but it is definitely not as long as making ejiao, as long as it takes three or four days, the hot sauce will be made.

Su Liu put the minced garlic in a large wooden basin and put it aside for later use, and went to do the others, since she had already done it, she wanted to make a few more flavors at a time, and also sent some to Ning Guang.

Therefore, she is also going to make a few cans of beef hot sauce, the weather is cold in Mobei, it is just right to eat these spicy seeds, and they live a hard life, anyway, this thing can be stored, and it is easy to eat, which can be regarded as adding flavor to Ning Guang.

She had already ordered dozens of catties of beef in the beef stall in the town, all of which were fresh and good belly, blood and water had been processed, and the fresh meat had been cooked for an hour with Sichuan pepper star anise or something, soft and fragrant, mouthwatering.

Su Liu beckoned the girl, and Chen also rolled up his sleeves to help, and several people quickly cut the beef into small dices, filled a large pot, and put it aside for later use.

At this time, Cui Niangzi also chopped the red and glamorous Chaotian pepper into pieces, even and fine, and Su Liu raised her thumbs up at her, making her smile embarrassedly and shyly.

No one has ever made hot sauce, so naturally Su Liu is in charge of the cooking, and the buds have already made the fire, so because they want to control the heat, they will give this job to the more familiar Cui Niangzi.

As long as the chili pepper is finely chopped, seasonings such as salt and wine are added, pressed and sealed tightly, and you can eat it in three or four days.

Garlic chili sauce is not complicated, the same stomping chili pepper and minced garlic are placed in a basin, salt and sugar and high Sanhuang wine are added, stir well, but in the process, they can not be stained with water, otherwise the sauce will become sour. And Su Liu seems to have done it thousands of times, and his familiarity is surprising.

"If it weren't for the chili pepper now, looking at the gestures of the big girl, it would be like having done it many times." Cui Niangzi's unintentional words made Su Liu's heart skip a beat.

Secretly looked at Chen, saw her smiling, without the slightest doubt, the big stone in her heart put down, and said with a smile: "Cui Niangzi can not only cook good food, but also be a gourmet, why don't you understand the mind of a glutton?" We are the life of a foodie, in order to eat well, what good things can't be thought of? ”

"That's right, the big girl's brain is flexible, unlike us, stupid and tight." Cui Niangzi laughed.

Chen said angrily: "You still think you are a foodie, who is as greedy as you?" I didn't have to let people see the joke when I went to my mother-in-law's house, if this was an ordinary family, I wouldn't have to eat in a poor person's house? ”

"I don't like to hear this, this people take food as the sky, what's wrong with food, which is a joke? It's a blessing to be able to eat. Su Liu pouted.

"Don't worry, wife, our uncle is a big general, and the eldest girl eats non-stop every day, and she can't eat poorly." Cui Niangzi said jokingly while adding firewood.

"That's it." A few girls laughed and laughed.

Su Liu blushed, pretending to be annoyed and said, "It seems that you are so used to being boundless, and you dare to make fun of your master." ”

When Shuang Ning heard this, she pretended to be frightened and curtsy and saluted: "Girl, spare us, let's tell the truth and don't like it, we really don't dare to say it in the future, what's wrong with this, we don't have to tell lies in the future?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed even more happily.

"Little hoof, see if I don't tear your mouth." Su Liu scolded with a smile, and reached out to pinch her face, making Shuang Ning beg for mercy, and the kitchen was full of laughter.

Laughing and scolding, the garlic hot sauce has already been stirred, and Su Liu asked the girl to move the entire basin to the shelf in the yard and expose it to the sun, so that it can be sealed in a jar in two days.

Finally, there is the beef hot sauce, which is more complicated than the previous ones, and the ingredients are a little more.

Su Liu will chop the red pepper, add homemade soybean paste and water to dilute, then pour oil into the pot and heat it, then put in the cut and spare ginger, green onion, minced garlic, chili flakes stir-fry and stir-fry, and then add beef filling, Shao wine, soy sauce and other seasonings.

The chili pepper is already spicy, and when it is fried, the pungent and spicy taste makes people's faces red like blood, and the sneezing keeps sneezing, but people can't help but suck it, and the taste is so fragrant. The fragrance wafting from the kitchen chimney made passers-by can't help but stay, and they have guessed what kind of dish this is cooking, this fragrance!

After stir-frying for a while, pour soybean sauce water, sugar, etc. into the pot, remove the firewood and change to a simmer, cover the pot and stew slowly, during which it is constantly stirred, and when the meat is viscous, then sprinkle the fried sesame seeds on the top, stir-fry it again, taste the taste with chopsticks, and then come out of the pot.

As soon as the beef sauce came out of the pot, everyone in the kitchen swallowed their saliva and asked people to take the crockpot to fill it.

There is no such thing as glass now, and Su Liu just wants to use glass bottles to hold hot sauce, but the ceramic crockpot is the same, and it is more primitive, so she ordered the porcelain jar to be made several sizes of crockpot early.

The crockpot with hot sauce has been soaked in water for a few days, and it has also been burned with wine, and it is clean and not stained with a little mud and dust.

A large pot full of beef sauce filled five or six large jars, and Su Liu began to make a second pot.

She had already thought about it, this big jar was sent to Ning Guang for dinner, and Song Fei also had to send some, and she also had an idea, that is, to use small cans to pack some and bring them to Shangjing to see if she could open a business road, of course, her own steamed bun shop should also put some on it for publicity purposes, and in the near future, she will be a small workshop specializing in making chili sauce.

The old godmother also made a fortune like this, how could she, the first to eat crabs, get the first opportunity, right? This sauce goes well with rice and tastes good, and it will definitely cause a trend.

Su Liu was right, as soon as her chili sauce came out, it had already attracted the attention of many people, and this chili workshop had already received a lot of orders before it opened, and more people inquired about chili seeds, so that they could be planted and sold for money next year!

And Ning Guang, when he received Su Liu's letter and pickles, his bearded face finally showed a smile, and after tasting the beef hot sauce, his eyes lit up, and he ate two more bowls of rice, which was happier than winning the battle.

Su Liu said in the letter that he wanted to open a small workshop, and Ning Guang naturally had no reason not to support it, so he generously distributed the two jars of sauce to the young generals and silently promoted it.

And this kind of publicity, such a good thing to eat, naturally made the purchase of military supplies notice, led by Ning Guang, and placed a big order first, and now, Su Liu's footsteps into Beijing were delayed indefinitely.

I'm greedy while writing, I really want to eat beef hot sauce, the real one is not spicy, I love spicy the most~
