After Qi Ling finished speaking, he walked straight ahead, and in a place where Gu Jinfeng couldn't see, his smile was as bright as a spring flower.

When she walked to the carriage, she saw Gu Jinfeng standing in place, his face a little overwhelmed.

Qi Ling couldn't help but shout.

"You fool, why don't you leave quickly, I still want to go to the grain store!"

Gu Jinfeng heard her shout, and then he came back to his senses from his thoughts, how did he feel just now, as if he saw his liking for himself from Qi Ling's eyes, could it be his own delusion again.

He secretly said to himself in his heart, sure enough, the ancients did not deceive me, a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, this Qi Ling's heart is more like a thin needle in the deep sea.

Obviously, sometimes I can vaguely feel her love for me, but why is it always a flash.

And she never expresses it?

If Qi Ling didn't answer these questions of his, he might be an unsolved mystery for the rest of his life.

Gu Jinfeng got into the carriage and asked.

"Why do you want to go to the grain store? What else do you want to buy? There's enough of these things at home. ”

He thought that Qi Ling was going to buy it for tomorrow's burning pot, so he opened his mouth to remind him.

"Of course I'm not going to buy food, I'm going to buy chili peppers!"

It's not that Qi Ling chose to go to the grain store, but that this chili pepper is only sold there, isn't this forcing her to go there.

"Chili?"

After Gu Jinfeng heard this, he knew that Qi Ling was going to cook a spicy dish tonight, which was exactly what he was thinking.

Thinking of this, he had some anticipation, and the speed of the carriage increased, and in a short time he came to this grain store.

There are only three kinds of chili peppers in this shop, one is a small red color, and you can smell the characteristic rush of chili peppers in front of your nose.

Qi Ling picked up one with her hand, and felt that this was probably like the modern kind of Chaotian pepper, although it was small, but it was spicy enough, and it was more in line with her heart.

As for the other two, although one is big and very popular, but at a glance, you can know that there is no spiciness, and Qi Ling silently passed it.

The rest of the one, the color is not red, but yellow, but it smells very special.

Qi Ling had never seen this kind of pepper before, so he guessed that it might be a variety endemic to this place.

For this aroma, she also wants to buy some and go back to see what it tastes like.

I asked for some of each of these two Qi Lings, and I also bought some peppercorns in the store.

After all, this hot pot has two particulars, one is hemp, which is peppercorns for the tongue, and the other is spicy, which is given by chili peppers.

These two flavors, no matter which one is missing, the hot pot will lose some of its flavor and become incomplete, as if it has lost its soul.

After buying, Qi Ling can be regarded as finally purchasing all the ingredients.

She breathed a sigh of relief, everything is ready now, just wait to go back and simply process the ingredients, and then you can eat hot pot.

The two of them still returned to the store in the carriage, but Gu Jinfeng felt that it was a little unsightly to bring things in from the front door.

After all, there is pork or something, and when the time comes, take it into the pharmacy, maybe it will scare some people.

After some discussion, the two of them still drove the carriage to the back door.

This back door may have been opened by Qi Ling with a slight push because Xiao Feng forgot to close the door after moving the flower basket in the morning.

Gu Jinfeng didn't want to move these ingredients around, so he directly opened the back door and drove the carriage in.

It's just that in the open space in this courtyard, a lot of bamboo baskets are placed, and some herbs are drying on them.

The carriage had nowhere to park, so it could only be squeezed between two small bamboo shelves, and it looked very aggrieved.

"Now that I'm back, I'll handle the ingredients by myself first, so you might as well go ahead and help first!"

Qi Ling said to Gu Jinfeng busily while moving the things he needed for a while to the carriage.

After listening to her words, Gu Jinfeng nodded, and seeing that there was no hard work left, he went directly to the front of the store.

After all, although he doesn't know how to see a doctor and doesn't know how to prescribe medicine, he still has the strength to help get a medicinal herb or something, and it's not a problem.

After he left, Qi Ling first took down his chili peppers and peppercorns, and then took a knife and cut off a piece of pork with fat on the pork that Gu Jinfeng bought.

Because the knife was too big, it was a little uncomfortable, so Qi Ling ended up making his hands greasy and greasy.

But she wasn't afraid, and when she came, she put a small piece of goat's milk soap in the sachet on her body, which was just right in time.

She originally thought that this could not only be used as a spice, but also used to wash her hands in special situations.

However, there was no need to wash his hands at this time, Qi Ling first moved his hands to cut off all the fat on the pork.

These are not used to eat, but to refine lard for a while, because the authentic hot pot base is usually made of butter, but now you can't slaughter cattle at will.

So I can only use lard instead, and I can only hope that the taste will not be too far away at that time.

Qi Ling first cut the fat, also known as plate oil, into pieces of suitable size, and then began to raise the fire.

In ancient times, it was a very difficult thing to make a fire, because after finally lighting it with a flint, you had to carefully blow and burn it little by little.

If you're not careful, you'll choke on the smoke and you'll end up with a gray face, not to mention how embarrassed it is.

However, Qi Ling has been trained these days, and he is very skilled in making a fire at this time, and after a while, the fire in the furnace began to burn.

Seeing this, Qi Ling put the pot on it, and when the pot was slightly hot, he put all the oil in it, and at the same time, he carefully turned it with a spatula.

This plate of oil is the place where the fat on the pig's body collects, so as soon as it encounters heat, it begins to slowly ooze out excess oil.

I saw that the original pieces of white and chubby plate oil had shrunk by more than half in the pot at this time, but there was already a lot of oil oozing out of the pot.

When the oil was finally refined to the point that it had turned into golden pieces, Qi Ling fished them all out.

This kind of thing is called oil residue, and in some places it is also called oil shuttle.

Because the fat has already penetrated out, it will not feel very greasy to eat, but will only feel very fragrant.

Especially the one that is fried very crispy, it is even more appetizing.

The best way to eat it should be to sprinkle a handful of sugar on it while it is hot, so that Qi Ling can eat a lot of it before and can't stop eating.
