In the dead of night, Luo Ying was already too tired to move, but Liu Yifan was not very old, but his physical strength was very strong, and he was still galloping Luo Ying.

He made a hoarse and pleasant voice as he sprinted: "Lady, I'm going to be ......"

At this moment, there was a voice from the backyard: "Catch the thief! Come and catch the thief! ”

The sound fell, and at the same time, Liu Yifan was also released.

"Lady, don't move, I'll take a look, and the sound is like a stone." Liu Yifan said as he quickly put on his clothes and pants and lit candles.

Except for Liu Yixin, who was sleeping deeply, the people in the other rooms were also woken up, and they all ran to the backyard one by one.

When he saw his brother-in-law and the brothers, Shi became even bolder, and he pointed to the old house where they used to live, and said very excitedly: "There are thieves over there, I see thieves over there!" ”

Liu Yiming rubbed his eyes and said, "No one! Could you be mistaken? ”

"Impossible!" The stone said with great certainty, "There was someone just now, sneaky." ”

Shaojie said: "Maybe it is Brother Danian?" ”

"I'll go take a look." Liu Yifan felt that it was more reassuring to go and see, the place where they used to live was only twenty or thirty steps away from here, if there were really people, the stone should not be mistaken, this midnight three watches, it is impossible for the New Year to still wander around, he usually sleeps early.

"Big brother, I'll go with you."

"We'll go too!"

Several people walked towards the old house in groups.

"Wait, did you hear anything?" Xiao Yu suddenly asked.

The others were silent for a few seconds, and Liu Yiming said, "Didn't you hear anything?" ”

"Did I hear me wrong? I heard it just now. Xiao Yu said as he walked forward.

"Brother Xiao Yu, don't go forward, there is a small pond over there, surrounded by thorns, be careful of falling." Stone reminded.

Xiao Yu stopped at this time, and several people looked around the room and found nothing.

"Brother-in-law, there was really someone just now, he was still lame, and he walked a little lame." The stone was afraid that everyone would not believe it, so he said categorically again.

"Cripple? Big brother, shouldn't it be ......" Liu Yiming instantly thought of Liu Shuitian, who had a holiday with his family.

Liu Yifan said with a straight face: "Don't guess, you can't say anything without evidence, you know?" ”

"We got it."

"Alright, let's all go back to sleep! Don't catch a cold. ”

Liu Yifan returned to the room, and Luo Ying asked, "Is there really a thief?" ”

"Look at what the stone said is so true, it should be true, but we didn't find anything, and we were probably scared away by the stone's shout." Liu Yifan said, "The stone said, that thief, there is a problem with his feet, I guess it may be Liu Shuitian, all the clothes in our house are to be sold at the fair, their business is bad to death, and Luo Fu fell out again, maybe jealous of us plus the previous festival, it is not necessary to have the idea of stealing." ”

When Luo Ying heard Liu Yifan say this, she frowned and said, "If it's really him, I don't think he's here to steal clothes." ”

"What's that for?" After Liu Yifan finished asking, he suddenly realized, "Do you think ......?"

"The houses over there are all made of adobe bricks and thatch, and if he sets a fire or something, we'll be done with it."

"No, tomorrow morning, I have to go and talk to Brother Da Nian and Xiao Han, the two of them live there, this is to steal something, it's better, in case I tell you, I'm here to set fire or something, it's late at night, the two of them are too dangerous! Things will have to be transferred to our new house tomorrow, and the upstairs room is still empty anyway. ”

Luo Ying reminded: "Don't make a noise about the transfer of things, in case that person doesn't die, let's catch it." ”

"Well, I'll do this, lady, let's go to bed early!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Yifan took Luo Ying in his arms, and the two of them hugged each other and fell asleep.

The night in early winter was very cold, and the water was even cooler, at this time, in the small pond next to the old house, a person crawled out, the whole person shivered, frozen with his hands on his chest, limping back......

Early the next morning, Liu Yifan went to the old house to remind Danian and Xiaohan, but the two of them were angry early and had already gone to the side where his grandmother lived, so Liu Yifan also walked towards Xiao's house, and told them what happened last night, but also told them not to make a noise.

"My cousin and my cousin live there, so you have to be careful."

"These two children slept so well that they couldn't hear the thunder." Xiao Shi said worriedly, "Otherwise, let's change it, his father, let's go over there and let Danian and Xiaohan come here to live." ”

"Mother, it's okay, we're not afraid!" Danian said, "The doors and windows at home are locked, you can rest assured." ”

"What a heart! What if the thief has a knife in his hand? No, let's change it tonight. ”

Old man Xiao said: "Yes, it's better to change, big tree, remember to put a knife next to your pillow, it's safer." ”

"This black-hearted balamb who kills a thousand knives!" Mrs. Xiao gritted her teeth and scolded.

"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, I will go to the county seat with my wife in a while, so I will go back first, you can have a number in your heart, don't make a noise first."

"We know."

Coming out of Xiao's house, Liu Yifan walked back, because it was too dark last night, he was worried that something was missing, so he walked around the old house to see if he could find anything, but he saw something strange on the small pond, originally the small pond was surrounded by lush thorns, hanging straight on the water, but now there is an obvious trace of destruction, and suddenly remembered the sound that Xiao Yu said last night, is it ......

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, such a cold day, such cold water, I don't know if that thief will catch a cold, so he secretly inquired, sure enough, Liu Shuitian has a cold!

What a coincidence!

When he got home, Liu Yifan told Luo Ying what he had discovered, but it was useless to know, and there was no evidence, so he could only prevent it now.

The two had a simple breakfast, and then took Liu Yixin to the county seat.

It was rare to go back to the county seat, Liu Yixin was happy in his heart, and he also brought the pocket money he had saved.

When they arrived at the county seat, they went straight to Ruyi Restaurant.

"Uncle Zhu."

The shopkeeper Zhu saw that they were carrying three irrigs and didn't know what they were, but he felt that he should have something to do with himself, so he personally took them up to the second floor.

"What's the matter? It's ...... to come today," asked the shopkeeper.

"Uncle Zhu, don't worry! First, bring two plates, two spoons, and a pair of chopsticks. Liu Yifan said with a smile.

Zhu shopkeeper was also anxious, and immediately went downstairs to get something over.

Luo Ying first opened a jar of peppers, pinched some with chopsticks, and put them on a plate, some green and some red, Luo Ying said: "When I was a child, my family was poor, and my grandparents used peppers to eat. ”

Luo Ying didn't realize that there was anything wrong with what she said, but Liu Yifan muttered, at this time, Luo Ying scooped a few spoonfuls of chopped peppers with a spoon and put them on the plate, which was red and bright, not to mention the taste, just like this, he had already conquered the shopkeeper Zhu!

Liu Yifan said: "The last jar is chili powder, these three things are very simple to make, especially the pepper and chili powder, those who can pickle sauerkraut will make chili peppers, chili powder is even simpler, after chopping pepper taste, people have to do it, try a few times can also get it out, however, now to next year's pepper maturity period, there will never be anyone who has this thing, if Uncle Zhu does dishes related to it, he can seize the opportunity and occupy the market." ”

Without waiting for the shopkeeper to come to his senses from the shock, Luo Ying said: "I won't talk about the use of chili powder, it's easy to stir-fry meat with chili peppers, just replace the chili peppers of the small fried meat, it's almost the same, as for chopped peppers, you can make chopped pepper fish head, chopped pepper pork belly, chopped pepper steamed eggplant, chopped pepper steamed pork ribs." ”

Zhu shopkeeper himself is also a spicy person, just listening to the names of these dishes, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and asked excitedly: "Can you cook these dishes?" ”

"So be it! I'll make it for you first. ”

"Okay, back kitchen, please!"

I wish the shopkeeper can't wait.

Luo Ying, Liu Yifan and the shopkeeper Zhu went to the back kitchen together, and the shopkeeper Zhu asked people to take snacks for Liu Yixin to eat, and asked her to stay there and not leave, Liu Yixin was also very well-behaved.

Seeing Luo Ying and his wife again, the fat chef was very happy and asked, "Little lady, are you here to cook again today?" ”

"Fat uncle, our husband and wife brought some things over today to see if they can be sold for a good price." Luo Ying said with a smile.

At this time, the fat chef and the people in the back kitchen had already seen chopped peppers, puffed peppers and chili powder, and they were surprised that they could stuff eggs into their mouths.

"This ...... This...... Little lady, this is what you did? ”

Luo Ying smiled, although she didn't answer directly, her expression already showed everything.

The crowd admired them so much that they were even more curious about the delicacies she was about to make.

Luo Ying first cut the ginger shreds and shallots, then wash the fish head, remove the gills and scales, put it into a large dish, spread the ginger shredded shallots on it, add an appropriate amount of salt, pour a little cooking wine, and marinate for 20 minutes.

In the process of marinating, Luo Ying began to prepare the steamed pork ribs.

"Xianggong, wash the pot, boil the water." Luo Ying said.

"Good Ratcha!"

Because Luo Ying has already made these dishes at home, Liu Yifan probably still knows the process, so he also knows how to cooperate.

"Little lady, do you want us to help?" The fat chef asked.

"Fat uncle, if you can get it, help me chop the ribs! To ribs. ”

"Okay, no problem."

The fat chef didn't think that he would lose his hands on Luo Ying at all, but immediately took off the ribs, washed them, and chopped them well.

At this time, the water in the pot was also hot, Luo Ying put the pork ribs in to blanch the blood water, blanched them out and rinse the foam with running water, then peeled and shredded the ginger, and then put a little oil in the wok to heat about fifty percent of the heat, add chopped pepper and ginger shreds to stir-fry, then add blanched pork ribs, stir-fry evenly, add salt and soy sauce to taste, and finally put it on a plate and put it in the steamer to steam.

At this time, the fish head is almost marinated, and it is put into another steamer to steam.

Because the eggplant is gone this season, I don't make chopped pepper eggplant.
