Twenty texts? Cai Xiaoxin secretly said, such a small bottle of sauce actually costs twenty wen, she thought it would be ten wen at most, you must know that the vial is about the same length as one of her palms, and the bottle is still very thin, and there is not much sauce in it.

Thinking of the only one in the village that sells sauce, Cai Xiaoxiao understood: monopoly trading, no wonder her mother-in-law would tell her like that. If she really did a sauce business in the village, and she sold it cheaper than Wang Cuihua, it would disrupt Wang Cuihua's monopoly, and she would definitely be in a hurry when the time came.

However, Cai Xiaoxiao still paid the money with a smile on the surface, and then began to get to the point: "Aunt Wang, do you have a mortar at home?" ”

"Wine?" Wang Cuihua didn't hear clearly for a while.

"No, it's a mortar, it's the one who pounds the herbs." Cai Xiaoxiao explained.

"Ah, that's it." Wang Cuihua understood, "Yes, yes, but what are you going to do?" Is there something delicious to make again? At this time, Wang Cuihua also understood that the two of them came to buy sauce fake, and the borrowing of the mortar was real.

Sensing the vigilance in Wang Cuihua's eyes, Cai Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "No, it's to decoct medicine for my mother-in-law, I forgot to buy it in the town before, so I want to ask you if you have it here?" Of course, it doesn't matter if it's not convenient for you to borrow. ”

Hearing that it was going to decoct the medicine for Zhao Wang's family, Wang Cuihua was relieved and said with a smile: "It's convenient, how can it be inconvenient, I'll give it to you." ”

"Thank you so much." Cai Xiaoxiao thanked.

"It's all from the same village, what's polite." Wang Cuihua walked into the shop and took out the mortar and gave it to Cai Xiaoxiao.

Cai Xiaoxiao took it and thanked again: "Thank you, Aunt Wang." ”

borrowed the mortar, Cai Xiaoxiao and Zhao Kangcheng went back, and on the way Zhao Kangcheng asked Cai Xiaoxiao: "Why did you lie just now?" He was referring to Cai Xiaoxiao's purpose of lying and saying that he borrowed the mortar.

"No way, Xianggong, didn't you see the thick vigilance in Aunt Wang's eyes? If I tell her that I borrowed the mortar to make hot sauce, I suspect that Aunt Wang will turn her face in the next second. Sticking out his tongue, Cai Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "So I'm a white lie." ”

"But the villagers will know about your hot sauce sooner or later." Zhao Kangcheng said.

"By that time, I had already bought a new mortar from the town, and Aunt Wang would also find out that I only sell the sauce in the town, and the variety is different from hers, so it won't affect her business, and Aunt Wang doesn't know when I made the hot sauce, so Aunt Wang shouldn't mind at that time." Cai Xiaoxiao said.

"Although this is the case, it is still not good to lie, although the villagers have all kinds of shortcomings, but the character is still simple, it is easier to trust others, if you lie to them many times, whether it is because of good intentions or not, in the end it will affect the villagers' good impression of you." Zhao Kangcheng persuaded.

"yes, I see." Cai Xiaoxiao nodded, indicating that he would be humble to correct it.

After returning home, Cai Xiaoxiao first carefully washed the borrowed mortar, thoroughly washed off the residual sauce smell on it, and put it aside to dry, while he walked into the kitchen and began to prepare for hot sauce.

She first took out 300 grams of red pepper and cut it into rings, then took out 100 grams of millet pepper, also cut it into rings, and finally took 5 grams of ginger and cut it into dices, as well as 60 grams of garlic, after all the cuts, she went out, waited for all the water stains on the mortar to dry, took it to the kitchen, put all the cut materials into the mortar, began to mash and stir, and walked to the yard while stirring, Zhao Kangcheng was sitting in the yard reading a book.

Cai Xiaoxiao sat next to Zhao Kangcheng, Zhao Kangcheng looked at the mortar curiously, and when he saw the full of chili peppers, he couldn't help but feel a little pain in his stomach: "There are so many chili peppers, it will be very spicy, right?" ”

"Hmm." Cai Xiaoxiao nodded, looked up and saw Zhao Kangcheng's expression, and said with a smile, "For people like Xianggong, you who don't like spicy food, you will feel very spicy, but for people who love spicy food, this level of spicy is actually just right." ”

Zhao Kangcheng shook his head to show that he couldn't understand, and then asked, "Can you just mash it?" ”

Cai Xiaoxiao replied: "No, you have to pour it into the bottle, close the lid and wait for the ...... Just wait a week. I originally wanted to talk about fermentation, but I was afraid that Zhao Kangcheng didn't know what fermentation meant, and she couldn't explain it, so she just skipped it.

"Is it going to take that long?" Zhao Kangcheng was a little surprised.

Cai Xiaoxiao nodded: "Hmm!" So for a week, she still had to make money by selling breakfast for a while, and after a week, she would be fine.

But there was something else she had to do during the week, what was she going to do? "Xianggong, what do you think of me opening a dim sum shop in the town?" Cai Xiaoxiao asked Zhao Kangcheng.

"Dim sum shop?" Zhao Kangcheng looked at her, "I thought you would want to open a restaurant." "After all, Cai Xiaoxiao's cooking skills are so good.

Cai Xiaoxiao shook her head: "I want to open a restaurant more than a restaurant." But that requires a lot of money, so it's important to make money first. ”

"But there are a lot of dim sum shops in town." Zhao Kangcheng said that he knew that Cai Xiaoxiao liked to be the only one.

Cai Xiaoxiao smiled: "The dim sum I make is different from others." ”

"Oh? What is it? Zhao Kangcheng asked curiously.

"Vegetable buns." Cai Xiaoxiao said that this is what she just thought about.

"Buns?" Zhao Kangcheng was stunned, "Steamed buns with vegetable filling?" "What's different about that?

Cai Xiaoxiao knew that Zhao Kangcheng would not understand, so he said: "You will know when I make it." ”

……

After mashing the ingredients into a puree, Cai Xiaoxiao returned to the kitchen and poured the sauce puree into a bottle - she made just enough for three bottles, and after closing the lid tightly, Cai Xiaoxiao put it in the cabinet and waited for them to ferment.

Then Cai Xiaoxiao stopped—let's make these three bottles for the time being, and then go to the town tomorrow to buy new bottles, and then buy a bunch of red peppers and millet peppers.

Cai Xiaoxiao plans to make ten bottles first to try the effect of the market.

Oh, and you have to buy koji, which is yeast powder, and some other ingredients for vegetable packets in the town, and I wonder if there are any cows in the town...... Are there cows in this era? Hopefully there is, so she can get milk.

As for today's task, it is like this for the time being, Cai Xiaoxiao washed the mortar and sent it back to Wang Cuihua, and after returning home, he washed a certain amount of glutinous rice to prepare for tomorrow morning's glutinous rice, and there are still some wontons, so there is no need to prepare.

After making the glutinous rice, she planned to go to the chickens, but was told that Zhao Wang's had already fed them, even the donkey pulling the cart.

Thereupon...... She has nothing to do......

Cai Xiaoxiao sat beside Zhao Kangcheng, tilted his head and leaned on Zhao Kangcheng's shoulder, and said, "Xianggong, I have nothing to do." ”
