The next morning, Chaolu gave the salt-and-pepper steamed buns to Liu Qing and Chaoyang to taste, although the taste was light in the morning and it was not suitable for eating these, but they all thoughtfully showed a look of approval.

Li Youqing said, "You figured out these things again?" ”

Chaolu didn't take all the credit for himself, for fear that he wouldn't be able to tell it in the future, so he just said: "When I went to buy a book before, I came across a cookbook with this thing on it, and I happened to have these things in my hand, so I tried it." It turned out that the taste was not bad, and it could also enhance the flavor and flavor when added to the dish, which was better than the general coarse salt. ”

Tianxiang Town is backed by mountains and produces almost no salt. Now the average coarse salt costs five dollars for a bucket of silver. The people in the villages around Tianxiang Town generally rely on hunting or farming to make a living, there are many poor households, and there are many rich households, and now they are also in a peaceful world, and the people are not heavy in forced labor, so if it is salt and pepper, it doesn't matter if it is doubled, there are always people who are willing to try.

Chaolu made up her mind in her heart, and a plan quickly matured in her heart.

Today their family went separately, Chaolu was not worried about Liu Qing's injury, forced her to rest at home, Li Youqing took Chaoyang, first went to return the carriage, Chaolu carried a basket to the bamboo forest to prepare to dig some bamboo insects, now is the late autumn season, the bamboo insects on the mountain are the most abundant and fat.

All the way through, her basket was already full.

"It seems that this bamboo forest really needs to be well protected, otherwise if the bamboo insects spread according to this posture, it is really difficult to say whether the new bamboo that can replace these diseased bamboos can be grown in the spring of next year."

"So Asakaru, you have to work harder! Dig a little more! You see, you are responsible for digging, I am responsible for eating, and the growth of this bamboo will definitely be very good in the coming year! The little milk turtle hummed and chirped, and did not forget to answer Chaolu's words.

"I think you think you have better!" This bamboo forest covers a vast area, and she usually just walks along a few roads, so if she wants to finish digging this bamboo forest alone, she should think about it.

Chaolu wandered to Li Yan's wooden house, and found that there was no one, so he returned the same way, but he didn't expect this Gu Yan to be so conscientious and go to the store so early.

When she returned home, she saw half a basket of bamboo insects left, and she wanted to pick up the little turtle's little turtle/head to see, these portions were several times his volume, and she was really afraid that something would happen to him if she ate it in one go, but he was disobedient.

Chao Lu put down half of the bamboo insects, put the pepper and salt and soon a pot of fragrant dried bamboo insects can be out of the pot, she dialed a plate and served it to Liu Qing, and the rest was put in another plate and placed in the food basket.

She modified this food basket, and it was sealed all around, and a piece of iron of moderate size was placed at the bottom, and a few pieces of burning coal were placed in the middle, and a layer of iron was placed on top, and the plate was on this layer of iron anyway.

It can be used to keep warm for a period of time, so that she doesn't have to worry about losing the best taste when the bamboo insects are cold when she gets to the shop. She thought about it for a while, and brought the remaining half basket of bamboo insects with her.

When she got to the shop and set up the carriage, she carried the food basket and the bamboo basket in, put the food basket on the counter, looked at Li Yan, who was busy, took out the bamboo worms, handed him a pair of chopsticks, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to try it, the dried bamboo worms I just made." ”

Li Yan looked at her hand with some hesitation, "Are you ready?" ”

"Huh?" Chaolu looked at his hand consciously, "...... yes, your medicine is really magical, I felt fine this morning, and then I removed the gauze. ”

"So...... As soon as you have a good hand, you can't wait to assassinate me? ”

Chao Lu snorted coldly, "Why am I harming you?" Just give me no chopsticks, so you won't be suspicious. ”

Chaolu handed Chaoyang a pair of chopsticks to Chaoyang, who was reading a book absentmindedly, "Chaoyang, try it too." ”

Chaoyang is a foodie, just Chaolu came in and looked at it, as soon as he heard Chaolu tell him to eat something again, he naturally took the chopsticks happily, took the chopsticks and picked them up to eat.

Li Yan didn't return the chopsticks to her, it was just a joke just now, teasing her, he picked up a bamboo worm, and asked casually, "You went to the bamboo forest early in the morning?" ”

If she had gone last night, he would have found out, but no, it seems that she had gone early in the morning. He couldn't figure out what was worth her running to dig for bamboo worms early in the morning.

"yes." Chaolu thought of something, and said, "Now is the season when bamboo insects reproduce rapidly, you still have to pay attention to it, after all, your bamboo forest is intended to live in people, not to feed bamboo insects, and too many bamboo insects will only be harmful." ”

"You're not digging." Li Yan put an inlet, and the smell of incense in his mouth made his lips and teeth fragrant, he looked at her with a complicated expression, his thin lips trembled, and he wanted to say something but was dumb.

Chaolu didn't notice his strange reaction, and only continued: "Bamboo insects can't be removed, but bamboo insects can also be sold for money, we can't just waste them, it's better to mobilize the villagers under the mountain to dig bamboo insects together, and everyone will share the ...... together" Chaolu was talking energetically, and she felt that her arm had been on her shoulder, she looked at the owner of the arm, and asked with a puzzled face: "What's wrong?" ”

Li Yan's eyes moved slightly, his throat rolled twice, his tone was even darker and hoarse, looking at Chaolu, her figure was reflected in his eyes, but in his heart, he overlapped this figure with another girl, like a demon, and a voice in his heart was shouting, making him feel ecstatic and frightened, "This...... How did you do it? ”

Although it is not only Empress Shen who can do salt and pepper in this world, even she is also taught, but once there is something that can be related to her, he can't help but think about it.

Chaolu looked at him inexplicably, and only repeated what he had said before about Li Youqing's excuses, and then asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Yan's eyes darkened, indeed, he had seen that cookbook, although he didn't know what was written in it, but Chaolu didn't need to lie to him.

He is not uncommon with salt and pepper, but Tianxiang Town is located in a remote area, so most of the things have not been passed down well, and it is not strange that a salt and pepper method is found in half of the recipe, isn't it?

It's not a strange thing that Chaolu went to school, isn't it?

At this time, Li Yan had been looking for excuses for the doubts in his heart, but he forgot that Chaolu's peppercorns were obtained before the recipe. But even if you know, you just keep making excuses. In his present, Chaolu can be like her, but she will never be her.

Chao Lu looked at his face, "Could it be that there is something wrong?" ”

Li Yan smiled dryly: "It's nothing, it's just a little curious, what did you add to it." ”

Chaolu took out the pepper and salt wrapped in dried lotus leaves, peeled them off layer by layer, and showed him as if offering treasures, "This is the pepper and salt I made last night."

Now there is no such thing in Tianxiang Town, the chef in Tianxiang Restaurant can't even make peppercorns, if I can buy a lot of peppercorns, make more of this kind of thing, and sell him, what do you think? ”

Li Yan looked at the pepper and salt in her hand, lowered his eyes and smiled, there are thousands of similar kinds in this world, where does he need to be so sensitive? Even if there is a person who is exactly the same as Shen Bizhisheng standing in front of him one day, it is either her or not her, what is the use of being like her? He is disturbing himself and ignoring others.
