There was no business, and the weather was not hot, so the two of them packed up and prepared to go home.

Chun Tao was about to carry the basket, but was stopped by Zhou Kuiruo. "You carry my cage, I carry this."

"But... This, too heavy. ”

"So you mean, I'm not even as good as you." Zhou Kuiruo squinted at Chun Tao, obviously angry.

It's over, and it hurts his pride. "No... No, I'm... Felt... The road is too far, afraid of it... I can't bear it and want to... I want to bring some. ”

Worried about getting Zhou Kuiruo's paper wet, Chun Tao took spices and chili peppers. Because it was a sun-dried thing, it was not very heavy, so Zhou Kuiruo didn't say anything, and looked at his expression, and returned to normal.

When she got home, Aunt Zhou knew that Zhou Kuiruo was injured because of Chun Tao, not only did she not blame her, but also comforted her that Zhou Kuiruo was careless and had nothing to do with her.

Aunt Zhou didn't blame her, but Chun Tao blamed herself even more.

Because Zhou Kuiruo's injured hand couldn't get wet, Chun Tao could only help him wipe his face in the morning.

"Hurry up, I'm tired from bending over." Zhou Kuiruo was almost a full head taller than Chun Tao, so he was very tired from bending over.

"Okay." It's really not angry, what a shaking! Looking at his uncompetitive hand, Chun Tao was annoyed.

Finally finished washing. "Well... All right. I'll go... Help... Boil... Cook rice. ”

Am I so scary? Looking at the back of Chun Tao fleeing from the wilderness, Zhou Kuiruo was very puzzled.

didn't go to the county seat, Zhou Kuiruo stayed at home and read for a while, and sat with Aunt Zhou for a while, and she was driven to the stove room.

"How can I help?"

As soon as Zhou Kuiruo came in, Chun Tao was startled, and the spoon in his hand fell to the ground. "No... No need. "Didn't you say that the gentleman was far away from cooking? Why did he offer to help?

"I can't get my hands wet, but I can help you make a fire." Picked up the spoon on the ground and handed it to Chun Tao, and then began to add firewood to the stove.

You don't have to make your own fire, and Chun Tao is also happy. He was burned to death in the explosion of the plane crash, and when he first crossed over, he was terrified as soon as he heard the fire and saw the flames.

But this is ancient times, cooking and stir-frying at home are inseparable from fire, and she forced herself to overcome this fear. Moreover, Zhao Chuntao fell into the water, froze into a high fever, and couldn't afford to get sick, rather than surviving the fire. It can't and won't be afraid of fire, so she can't be afraid of fire.

Treat it as if he didn't exist! persuaded himself to treat Zhou Kuiruo as a transparent person, and Chun Tao started working.

The vinegar used for the cold skin is five-spice vinegar, which is made by adding powdered spices to the vinegar. In the past, in modern times, there was nothing to do alone, and even the seasoning of the cool skin was made by himself.

It was also because of this that she remembered the general spices, but she forgot the specific ratio of spices, so she could only try them first.

took out the smallest bowl in the house, poured five bowls of vinegar and a bowl of water into the pot, and let Zhou Kuiruo pull out some firewood after boiling. Then add ginger, garlic, prepared seasonings and a little bit of sugar, burn a stick of incense, get out of the pot, let it cool and remove the spice powder, and the vinegar can be used.

After boiling the vinegar, Chun Tao added oil to the chili peppers he bought, fried them over low heat, and crushed them into powder with a rolling pin after getting out of the pot.

Add some salt and water to the chili noodles, add the water until the chili noodles are soaked, and slowly add water to prevent too much water.

Heat the oil first, then put in a certain amount of ginger, onion and garlic, fry the fragrance and then take it out, and then put the seasoning noodles made of the powder of Sannai, star anise, grass fruit, cinnamon and Sichuan pepper, put it in and fry it to make the fragrance, and then take it out.

Remove from heat and cool for about a minute and pour into the chili flakes. When the spicy seeds are not bubbling, add a spoonful of vinegar and stir the spicy seeds immediately, which shows that the spicy seeds are boiling and bubbling again, and a fragrant aroma rises. When the chili is not bubbling, add a small amount of sugar to the spicy and stir well, and the chili oil is ready.

Then mash the garlic into minced garlic and add some cool boiled water, so that all the seasonings are basically ready.

I finished eating the cold skin yesterday, so I can only try these seasonings with cold cucumbers today. Chun Tao took a bite of the mixed cucumber and found that she only tasted sour and spicy, and she couldn't taste anything at all.

Zhou Kuiruo saw that she was in a daze again, and asked, "Do you want to cook anything?" ”

"No... No need. Seeing Zhou Kuiruo take out the firewood and put it out in the ash pile, Chun Tao asked tentatively: "You, can you help me... Try this? ”

The turquoise courgette lies in the brown sauce, and there are some red chili flakes, and white garlic sticks to the courgette. It doesn't look bad, Zhou Kuiruo picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a piece.

Chun Tao glanced at him nervously, unable to understand his expression. "That's what you've spent an hour or two making?"

"Hmm!" It doesn't seem good to hear this!

"Did you add some spices?"

"Hmm!"

Zhou Kuiruo picked up the soup spoon and tasted the vinegar. "Sure enough, it's vinegar, and the spice taste is too strong."

"Where... Which one... Too... Too much? ”

Zhou Kuiruo walked to the place where the spring peach put the spices, picked up the spices one by one and smelled them, and said, "It should be nutmeg, cumin and anise." ”

"Then you... This one... Can you—" Chun Tao pointed to chili oil.

Zhou Kuiruo's eyebrows moved, probably because he wanted to frown. "I don't eat anything that's too spicy."

"It's not spicy, really." Chun Tao hurriedly explained, in fact, the chili oil in the cool skin is usually not very spicy, but fragrant.

Zhou Kuiruo looked at the red chili oil in disbelief, hesitated for a while, and still gave Chun Tao face. "It's really not spicy, it's a little sweet, you added sugar?"

"One... Dots. ”

"The chili pepper tastes good, your vinegar is... Eat it at home, don't be so troublesome. With that, he turned and left.

Is this a euphemism that is hard to eat? Does it really taste weird? After Zhou Kuiruo left, Chun Tao also tasted a sip of vinegar. "It's sour!" In addition to the sourness, you can clearly feel the spices added to the vinegar.

His palate was really sensitive, and he adjusted the ratio of spices to see if he could try it again. Now the only thing left is the vinegar problem, and I didn't expect my luck to be so good.

However, Chun Tao said this too early. Since this day, the spring peach has adjusted the spice ratio a total of 35 times, bought the ingredients twice in the county seat, and soaked in the stove every day for four days.

Of course, not every vinegar is boiled at home, and sometimes Chun Tao will also go to the house in March. However, every time the finished product is finished, Zhou Kuiruo will taste it, although it is a spoonful every time, but no one can stand it if he tastes something sour and strange four or five times a day.

Chun Tao's thirty-sixth adjustment results appeared in front of Zhou Kuiruo. "What the hell are you going to do? There is already a lot of vinegar at home. "Zhou Kuiruo's sense of taste itself is very sensitive, and his tolerance for strange tastes is very low, and it is very good to be able to endure it so far.

"I... I.... Chun Tao felt that if he told Zhou Kuiruo that he wanted to set up a cool skin stall now, he would definitely refuse and dare not say it.

Seeing Chun Tao lowering her head and stammering with the vinegar in her hand, Zhou Kuiruo couldn't continue to ask and stretched out his hand. "Please!"

"Give it to me! But this is the last time. ”

Chun Tao handed the vinegar to Zhou Kuiruo and looked at him worriedly. "Hmm!"

Zhou Kuiruo tasted a spoonful, and after a while, he tasted another spoonful, and his expression improved. "This time."

"But... OK? ”

"Hmmm! Now that this vinegar tastes just right, you can make it in this ratio in the future! With that, he fled.

Is he telling the truth, or is he just trying to escape? Chun Tao took the vinegar and couldn't tell whether what Zhou Kuiruo said was true or false.
