Being shouted by Tang Zhi'an in a daze, Lin Qiu'er realized that it was not early, "Ah Zhi, are you hungry?" I'm going to cook, you wait. ”

Tang Zhi'an said: "I've done it, you hurry up and eat." ”

Lin Qiu'er didn't expect that Tang Zhi'an had already cooked the meal, thinking that she would fall asleep after she came back, and she actually forgot to get up to cook, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"I'm so embarrassed, I actually fell asleep and forgot to make lunch."

Tang Zhian looked at her and touched her head, "Daughter-in-law, you're just tired, you didn't have a good rest last night, and you were busy all morning this morning, so you will naturally be tired, but it's okay, I've done it all, you get up and eat!" ”

Lin Qiu'er hurriedly got up, "Okay, I'll get up now." ”

When she got up and prepared to go down, she found that she was still holding the jade pendant in her hand, and then she was suddenly stunned, as if a lot of things had happened in her sleep, all of which had something to do with the jade pendant, but she couldn't remember it at all.

Tang Zhian looked at him puzzled and said, "Daughter-in-law? ”

Lin Qiu'er came back to her senses and said with a smile: "It's okay, this jade pendant is too valuable, let's put it together with our family's valuables!" ”

When she said this, Tang Zhi'an naturally agreed, and took out the box for valuables, "Daughter-in-law, put it in here!" ”

After Lin Qiu'er put the jade pendant in, her heart was a little empty, as if a memory of her own had been lost.

Then she quickly shook her head, and stopped thinking about this, the things in the capital were very far away from her, and she couldn't care about it, right?

Tang Zhi'an made corn paste for lunch, although the family is rich now, but sometimes they also have to eat some coarse grains.

After eating, Tang Zhian went to the mountains to chop firewood, this winter is coming soon, the firewood at home is not ready, he has to hurry up.

Lin Qiu'er thought carefully at home for a long time, and when she heard the sound of pigs at home, she remembered that when she raised pigs, she was not going to sell the pigs at home like the pigs in the village, she was going to process the pork and sell it.

Now the time is about the same, if it is any later, it snows, the business will not be done, and the processed pork will naturally not be able to sell.

Now is the best time, first go to the backyard to see her pigs, she probably has a direction in mind, she is going to make sauce meat and sausages, these things can be dried and transported to a far place.

She made it and sold it to Zuixianlou at that time, and they could also be transported to the capital and other places, besides, these two things have an indispensable seasoning thing, and even if you invite someone, you don't have to worry that someone will make the same thing as them.

Sausages need thirteen spices, and sauce meat needs sweet noodle sauce, and these two things are things that can't be known to others.

But she hasn't started to do it yet, she has to hurry up and prepare these two things, the sweet noodle sauce needs everything at home, and she has to go to the town to buy some things and come back.

After Lin Qiu'er thought about these things at home, she hurriedly went to the town alone, Tang Zhi'an was not at home, she left a message for Ye Lan's family, and asked them to tell Tang Zhi'an that she went to the town alone with a basket.

When she arrived in the town, she went directly to the pharmacy, and now these spices have not been discovered, so if you want to buy them, you can only go to the pharmacy, because these things are still medicinal herbs.

Originally, the thirteen spices were aster, sand kernels, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, peppercorns, large ingredients, cumin, woody fragrance, angelica, sannai, good ginger, dried ginger, etc., but Lin Qiu'er only found some, and a few seasonings were not found.

After that, I went to buy some soy sauce and things needed at home, and then slowly walked in the direction of home.

After going back, she found that Tang Zhi'an had returned, and she quickly took down the basket, "Ah Zhi, you're back." ”

Tang Zhian raised his head and said with a smile: "Well, I heard my sister-in-law say that you went to the town, what did you buy?" ”

Lin Qiu'er took out the contents of the basket and showed it to him, "These are the things I bought." ”

Tang Zhian looked at her puzzledly and said, "Aren't these all medicinal materials?" What do you buy them for? ”

Lin Qiu'er shook her head, "These are not just medicinal herbs, but also seasonings, but everyone hasn't found out, I'm going to use these things to mix to make a seasoning thing, called Thirteen Spices." ”

Tang Zhi'an naturally didn't understand these cooking things, but he believed in his daughter-in-law, and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, I think you are so smart." ”

Lin Qiu'er smiled, "I also want to make something, my pig is not going to be sold like a hairy pig, I am going to process it and make it into sauce meat and sausage, and I will definitely make money when the time comes." ”

"Sauce meat and sausage?" Tang Zhian was puzzled.

Lin Qiu'er had no way to describe him, so she could only say: "You can rest assured!" I don't know what to tell you about when I've done something I'm not sure about, I can only say that you'll understand what it looks like when it's done. ”

Tang Zhian smiled and said: "That's for sure, daughter-in-law, I believe in you, so you can do it with confidence!" ”

Lin Qiu'er smiled sweetly, "Tomorrow we will go into the mountain, there are some things that we didn't find today, I will go into the mountain to see if there is any?" ”

Tang Zhian will definitely meet his daughter-in-law's request, and said with a smile: "I know, I will take you into the mountains tomorrow to have a look." ”

Lin Qiu'er smiled and said, "Okay." ”

The small jar at home was cleaned, and this was ready to make sweet noodle sauce, and then Lin Qiu'er hurriedly prepared it, and first got the sweet noodle sauce out.

Put flour in a wooden basin, then add an appropriate amount of water, mix the flour with flour water, the ratio between flour and water should be grasped, and sugar, soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, and salt should be added to the flour water to taste.

After that, put oil in the pot, pour in the prepared dough water, stir slowly over low heat, the dough water will gradually thicken, or keep stirring until cooked.

Taste the taste, just add some if it's almost something, if it's right, you can start the pot, this sweet noodle sauce has its own unique fragrance, Tang Zhian smelled it when he was outside, he smiled and shook his head, his daughter-in-law likes to figure out these things.

Lin Qiu'er put the prepared sweet noodle sauce in a wooden basin for the time being, and put it in the jar after they were all cold.

After it was done, she came out and looked at Tang Zhian and said, "I have made the sweet noodle sauce, this is the most important thing in the sauce meat, and then as long as the thirteen spices are prepared, our sauce meat and sausage can be made." “

Tang Zhian heard it and said with a smile: "Okay, tomorrow I will take you to the mountains to look for it and see if I can find what you need." “

Lin Qiu'er smiled and nodded, what she needed most now was peppercorns, because this peppercorns had a unique fragrance, but they gave sausages a different taste, so she had to peppercorns.

Early the next morning, Tang Zhi'an and Lin Qiu'er prepared their things to go to the mountains, and they went to the mountains early with food and water.

Tang Zhi'an took Lin Qiu'er and walked another way, "This road is rarely visited by people in the village, and there is a lot of grass here, you should be able to find what you need, there is not so much grass in other places, if we go, we will definitely not find what we need." ”

Lin Qiu'er smiled, "Okay, I know." ”

Tang Zhi'an took Lin Qiu'er and walked towards the road, as soon as he entered, he could see that there were more obvious grasses and plants in it, Lin Qiu'er smiled and said: "I should be able to find what I need here, there are many more plants here!" ”

Tang Zhi'an nodded, "This is generally where anyone needs any herbs or medicinal herbs at home will come here, sometimes the villagers drink medicine, and Dr. Zhang will tell them some more common things and let them dig them by themselves, so that they can save a lot of medicine costs." ”

Lin Qiu'er nodded, no wonder Tang Zhi'an would come here, the two of them walked forward a lot, but they hadn't seen what they needed, Lin Qiu'er sighed, "We still have to go inside!" ”

Tang Zhian did not refuse, "It's safe here, there are no big prey, so you can rest assured!" There was no problem going inside. ”

Lin Qiu'er continued to walk forward, and she smelled the smell from a distance, which was the smell of peppercorns, and her heart was shocked, "I seem to have found it." ”

Tang Zhian also laughed, "That's really good." ”

Lin Qiu'er hurriedly walked forward, she now had to hurry up to find out where the tree was, this pepper tree is not high, people can pick peppercorns while standing.

Looking around, she finally found the position on the left, so Lin Qiu'er hurriedly ran over there, "Look, it's this tree, what I need is it." ”

Tang Zhian glanced at the tree and said, "This thing is very numb, what do you want it for!" ”

Lin Qiu'er circled around the tree with satisfaction and said, "What I want is it, it's called Sichuan pepper, it's originally hemp, but it's a unique seasoning." ”

Tang Zhian nodded.

Lin Qiu'er hurriedly began to pick peppercorns, and said to Tang Zhi'an: "Don't be idle, hurry up and come over to help!" ”

Tang Zhian smiled and said, "Okay, I'm here." ”

The two of them hurriedly began to pick peppercorns, the pepper trees are full of thorns, and they should be especially careful when picking, otherwise it is easy to be pricked.

Tang Zhi'an carried the back basket out, so all the peppercorns picked were put in the back basket, and after the tree was picked, they went to other trees to take a look, and they would definitely be able to fill the back basket.

However, this matter is a very slow job, they have to pick it slowly, Tang Zhi'an picks it in the high place, and the lower part is handed over to Lin Qiu'er.

By the time the two of them finished picking it, it was already two hours later, Lin Qiu'er wiped the sweat from her forehead, and the two of them sat on the side, "Ah Zhi, let's eat!" After eating, go find the others and see if there are any more? ”

Tang Zhi'an nodded, "Well, let's just pick them first this year, and wait until next year when I move these trees to our backyard, and then I don't have to run so far." ”
