Chapter 147: Temple Fair, Hot and Sour Noodles
When Li came back from outside, he had an arm-length jar in his hand, narrow at the top and thick at the bottom.
The jar was newly taken from the storage room, and it was what Li intended to use to hold the garlic chili sauce.
Freshly made garlic chili sauce cannot be served directly, but must wait for the garlic chili sauce to cool before putting it in the jar.
Because when she went out just now, Zhao Yuyou told her that if she felt that the garlic chili sauce was not salty enough, she could add some soy sauce to it to taste after it cooled.
As for why soy sauce can only be added after cooling, or because the temperature is too high, it will cause the soy sauce to become sour after being added, which will affect the taste of garlic chili sauce.
Li pondered that it was not enough for him to taste it alone, so he reached out and called Zhao Shanyu over and asked him to try it too.
Zhao Shanyu got Li's order, and his expression was happy.
You know, since he smelled it, his mouth has been hungry.
With a smile and a grin, he took the wooden spoon handed to him by Li Shi, Zhao Shanyu reached out and dug a large spoonful of garlic chili sauce directly from the iron pot, put it together with the wooden spoon to his mouth, put it in his mouth and chewed it up and down.
The spicy and salty taste of garlic chili sauce instantly filled his entire mouth with Zhao Shanyu's chewing, making him can't help but swallow it and sigh at the same time.
The taste of this garlic chili sauce is really delicious.
However, the stamina of this chili sauce is also enough, both the spice of garlic and the spicy of chili, plus the sweetness of five-spice powder and fragrant and sugar, all kinds of flavors compete to bloom, and Zhao Shanyu's entire tongue is numb and crispy even in his mouth.
Despite this, these garlic chili sauces have the charm of making you want to take another bite while making your mouth water.
Zhao Shanyu finally held back, mainly because he was afraid that Li would get angry after eating it.
Stupidly returned the wooden spoon to Li, leaving only a sentence of "all right", and he hurriedly returned to his original place.
Li Shi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then rolled his eyes, and didn't care about Zhao Shanyu anymore, but put all his attention on the garlic chili sauce in the iron pot, and used the wooden spoon in his hand to constantly stir the garlic chili sauce in the pot.
It wasn't until the garlic chili sauce cooled that Li scooped it out spoonful by spoonful, put it in a jar and sealed it.
…………
Zhao Yu sat on a stool in the hall, still wondering what to do with the remaining chili peppers.
Don't look at them living in the city now, but at this time, the city is really not worse than the countryside, and even sometimes, the city may not have the rich dishes in the countryside.
After all, people in the city don't have the wild vegetables that are all over the mountains to pick.
Zhao Yu pondered and pondered, and before he could decide what to eat, Li came out again and asked Yuan to bring money to the pork shop in front to buy some raw pork.
"You're asking by the way, if you have pork and pork ribs, if you have, buy more, there is not enough left at home to cook tonight, there is less marinade, and it will not be enough to sell tomorrow."
Li said, and took out these silver coins from his arms and handed them to Yuan, which were used to buy pork.
At the end, Li thought of the news that he had just heard two days ago, and asked Yuan not to forget to inquire when he came back, "I heard that in September, there is a temple fair in the city to open, you can ask when the time comes, see when this year's temple fair will open, we still have the number of times we go to the temple fair at home, it will be invalid after it expires, and we can't use it." ”
After hearing this, Yuan immediately said "Huh" and agreed.
"Mother, I heard that in previous years, the temple fair was held for three days in a row, if our family is going to go now, do we have to prepare more as soon as possible?"
Afraid that it would be too late to get it now, Yuan hurriedly asked Li.
Li touched his chin and nodded, "You're right, you have to prepare as soon as possible,"
"In this way, you go to buy pork first, and then ask about the time of the temple fair by the way, and when you come back, we will have a good time to calculate the next day, and when you prepare, it can't be too early, and it can't be too late."
Yuan nodded, and then left the shop with the money Li gave her to buy pork.
Li Shi was fine, turned around and went to the counter.
Zhao Yu listened with his ears stunned when the two were talking, and he was even more curious about the temple fair mentioned by the Li family.
Temple fair?
As soon as I heard it, it was a place with a large flow of people and a good place to sell goods!
Jumping off the bench, Zhao Yu ran to the counter in two steps, tilted his head and asked Li, "Milk, what is the temple fair?" Are we going to the temple fair this year? ”
Hearing this, Li looked down at Zhao Yu, and muttered for a while, before patiently talking to Zhao Yu about the temple fair.
"The temple fair, it's the temple fair, I don't know the specifics, I know that there are about four or five temple fairs like this in Changle County a year, and they are all held in the Laojun Temple in the east of the city,"
"That Laojun Temple, it's not ordinary, I heard that our Changle County has never had a man before, and then I don't know who started it, saying that it was the Laojun Temple to worship the miracle, good guys, the scholars and scholars of Wuyang went to worship, that scene, can bluff people......"
Speaking of this, the Li family had an idea, and then muttered in a low voice, "Take our current county order as an example, it is to worship this Laojun Temple to be admitted to the people, otherwise, how can he be a county order." ”
Zhao Yu......
It's not a credit for worship, Zhao Yu smiled, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Milk, tell me quickly, what are the fun things about our temple fairs in Changle County." ”
"This"
Li frowned, and said in her heart that over the years, she had only been to the appearance of two or three times, and their country house had to leave before the curfew, so every time she came to visit the temple fair, she was in a hurry, and the objects she saw at the temple fair had long been forgotten.
At the moment, Zhao Yu suddenly asked, which caught her off guard.
Zhao Yu didn't know what Li was thinking, seeing that Li didn't speak, Zhao Yu thought that Li didn't want to say, she hurriedly stretched out her hand, pulled the other party's arm and twisted back and forth, "Milk, talk about it, talk about it, you talk about it quickly." ”
"Okay, good, I say, I say"
Li was helpless, reached out and slowly pushed away Zhao Yu who had been attached to her hand, Li Shi pondered for a while, and finally remembered a few.
After organizing the language, Li Shi said it to Zhao Yu to relieve his hunger, "They are all common for the New Year's Festival, lion dance, acrobatics, selling food, singing big operas, guessing lantern riddles...... It's not going to be lively for three days,"
"Every year when the temple fair is held, the county order will come to pay homage, and if you are lucky, you can say a few words to the county order."
When Zhao Yu heard this, he was satisfied, and he was not grinding the Li family, but thinking about what their temple was going to sell.
"What else can be sold, just some snacks at home," Li waved his hand, "Anyway, it won't be a hassle to pull it from the shop, and when the temple fair is crowded, maybe you can make a fortune." ”
"But the snacks at home are familiar to those diners, how can they be sold at the best price," finally caught up with a temple fair, Zhao Yu didn't want to sell the existing snacks in the shop at all, if that was the case, they might as well sell them in the shop.
"And what are you going to sell?" Li Shi rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, "You can't sell new food, can you make it?" ”
"Why can't I make it," Zhao Yu felt that he was being underestimated, and said back unconvinced.
"Okay, then you can do it in the next few days, and if you do well, we will sell new food," Li didn't quarrel with Zhao Yu, and sent Zhao Yu away in a few words.
Zhao Yu......
Zhao Yu was unconvinced, she only felt that her milk was blatantly ignored, she was a person who had made great contributions to the entire shop.
Isn't it just how hard it can be to think of a new snack again?
At this time, there were guests in the shop again.
The Yuan family was not there to buy meat, and the Li family had to personally greet and entertain him.
Zhao Yu watched from the side, touching his chin and wondering what to do.
It just so happens that the new snack uses chili peppers, which can take advantage of such a large platform as the temple fair to also give chili peppers a way out.
Intentionally or unintentionally, he aimed at the diners selling lo-mei in front of him.
I saw that the man bought chicken and duck meat and ordered a lot of fans.
The vermicelli is made of sweet potatoes, and the thin strips of transparent color are firm to eat.
When the Li family went to buy goods before, they bought some from the shops in the city, and this thing was also transmitted from the south.
Originally, lo-mei is a messy marinade, and anything can be put into the marinade and boiled.
So these vermicelli were put into the lo-mei by Li and boiled some, who knew that the taste was unexpectedly good, and it was also very popular after being put out.
Zhao Yu looked at the transparent fans, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
yes, why didn't she think of it!
There are vermicelli, plus the chili peppers at home, and it would be good to make hot and sour noodles directly.
It just so happens that the temple fair has to be held in September, when the weather is slightly cold, and when the time comes, it will definitely be beautiful to eat a bowl of hot and sour noodles.
