Chapter 68: The peppers are ripe
After this cattle driving incident, Li Mingren no longer had interest in the ox cart, and even saw that the cow still had a shadow. Every time he avoided the cow, Old Man Li looked at Li Mingren's cowardice, and once again mocked: "Look at you, what are you doing, you are the first to eat." ”
Li Mingren looked at Zhao Yunlan aggrievedly, thinking that I was even wrong to eat now.
Zhao Yunlan was smiling beside her, Li Mingren looked at her, and when the two looked at each other, Zhao Yunlan turned her head awkwardly.
Li Mingren has been at home for a while, and the two get along quite well. Zhao Yunlan still has no love for Li Mingren, or a husband and wife. Zhao Yunlan is also very helpless! At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he directly had a husband and children. In the modern world, when I was eighteen or nineteen years old, I was still in school, and I couldn't look forward to a sweet campus love at a young and beautiful age, of course, I couldn't talk about a campus love when I was in college, but Zhao Yunlan was still looking forward to the beauty of love.
Here, in Lijia Village, Zhao Yunlan looked at the husband who was one year younger than herself, although the age gap is nothing, modern sister and brother love across the age of five or six or even teenagers abounds, but Zhao Yunlan has only a sister and brother and no love for Li Mingren now.
may have lived an extra life, looking at Li Mingren's eighteen-year-old age, he just thinks he is a little fart, arranging Li Mingren to do this and that at home all day long, Li Mingren is also obediently doing a good job, although sometimes he does a disservice and makes Zhao Yunlan angry, but Li Mingren honestly lets Zhao Yunlan preach by the side every time, this way of getting along is not like a sister and brother.
But to say that it is really like a sister and brother's feelings, after all, there is a marriage certificate, and there is a little treasure, hey~ Zhao Yunlan scratched her head, she didn't know how to solve this problem, so she had to pretend to be confused!
The quiet days of Lijia Village passed day by day, and the peppers in the small courtyard of the Liu family were ripe, and some of the peppers were ripe and red. At first glance, it looks like a small lantern is hung, and it looks very cute. At that time, Mrs. Liu agreed to give this chili pepper to Zhao Yunlan, so Zhao Yunlan came early in the morning with a small basket!
Old lady Liu looked at Zhao Yunlan's posture, laughed, and said: "This pepper looks good, it's just that it shouldn't be eaten, if you don't get tired, pick it all back!" ”
Zhao Yunlan couldn't be happy: "Then thank you Mrs. Liu, I'm welcome!" ”
Old lady Liu waved her hand absently.
Zhao Yunlan picked the first pepper, leaned to her nose and smelled it, this pepper tasted spicy enough, and it was choking to smell. Zhao Yunlan thought that the hot and sour noodles were delicious enough, and seemed to see the spicy hot pot beckoning to her.
Zhao Yunlan was happy in her heart, and her hands didn't stop, but there were still some that were not completely cooked, and Zhao Yunlan didn't take them off.
There are only a few pepper trees, and the amount of fruit is not bad, Zhao Yunlan looked at the small half-basket of peppers, and the corners of her mouth were grinning.
Seeing Zhao Yunlan like this, Old Lady Liu couldn't help but be curious: "Mrs. Zhao, what's the use of taking this pepper?" ”
Zhao Yunlan thought about it, and still told Mrs. Liu truthfully: "Back to Mrs. Liu, in fact, I want to take it back to try whether this pepper is edible, if it is edible, I plan to cultivate more varieties of pepper seeds here." ”
Old lady Liu was interested: "Oh? Are you saying that this pepper may be able to fit into the stomach? ”
Zhao Yunlan was stunned for a few seconds: "I'm just guessing, I'll go back and try the chickens at home first, and Old Lady Liu might as well let people feed some animals, and then I'll visit Old Lady Liu and discuss this pepper together." "Actually, Zhao Yunlan wanted to go back and fry the meat directly.
Old lady Liu nodded: "But, this is interesting." Then I'll try it too, and I'll write a record when the time comes, and we'll talk about it. ”
Zhao Yunlan nodded, and then said goodbye and returned to Lijia Village.
Li Mingren was reading a book in the house, Xiaobao was resting with Old Man Li and Wang in the upper room, and Mingli and Mingmei didn't know where they went.
Zhao Yunlan put the pepper into the kitchen and began to deal with it, first took a few to fry the fungus meat slices in the evening, and the rest was used to dry, and some of them were ground into powder, and then they were made into spicy seeds, and the rest were kept as seeds for planting next spring.
Zhao Yunlan was busy chattering all afternoon, and Li Mingren had already helped Zhao Yunlan move the pepper several times. Zhao Yunlan was busy drying peppers in the yard, and saw that Li Mingren was looking around the house, so Zhao Yunlan arranged for Li Mingren to come out from time to time to take a look, if the sun slowly set and the sun was blocked by the house, he quickly moved the pepper to the sun, and continued to bask in the sun, and had to stare at it from time to time, for fear that some birds would fly over and peck at the pepper.
Li Mingmei and Li Mingli came back with their front and back feet, looking at the dried peppers in the yard.
Li Mingli: "Sister-in-law, this is the pepper you take care of in the town every day?" ”
Zhao Yunlan nodded happily.
Li Mingmei looked at the red and green and felt so cute, and asked, "Sister-in-law, this pepper is so beautiful, can you eat it?" ”
Zhao Yunlan smiled mysteriously, "You'll know in a moment." ”
Zhao Yunlan went to the kitchen and asked the three brothers and sisters to look at the pepper, which could not be said for the time being. also told not to let Xiaobao touch it, this pepper is really spicy, a few peppers were crushed when Zhao Yunlan dealt with it just now, Zhao Yunlan grabbed it with her bare hands, and it was still hot in her hands.
Zhao Yunlan didn't care about the hot and spicy in her hands, cut the few chili peppers left for stir-frying, and thought about the chili fungus slices at night, and felt her saliva flow.
At the dinner table, the Li family looked at the pepper fungus slices, and then looked at Zhao Yunlan, Zhao Yunlan said in order to reassure everyone: "Dad, mother, don't worry, I have already fed the chickens, and the chickens have pecked a few bites and looked fine." I've just tasted it in the kitchen, and it's a little spicy. ”
Old man Li and the Wang family still didn't dare to put down the chopsticks, but Li Mingren was very supportive of Zhao Yunlan, the chopsticks were full of chili peppers, and as soon as the eyes were closed, the spicy tears flowed down. Zhao Yunlan hurriedly poured a bowl of water for Li Mingren, and Li Mingren was a little better, but his mouth was already spicy red.
Zhao Yunlan said: "This pepper is indeed spicy, I use it less, mainly to add a flavor to it." You try this fungus slices and see what the difference is with the peppers. ”
Li Mingli saw that his eldest brother even ate the pepper, and then he sandwiched a piece of meat and tasted it, but this meat slice was a little spicy, but it didn't shed tears, Li Mingli felt that it was going to eat. Li Mingmei also ate the fungus, with a spicy and spicy taste, one bite after another. Xiaobao saw that everyone was eating the fungus slices fried with peppers, and they also wanted to eat it, but Zhao Yunlan stopped him, "Xiaobao, this is spicy, you can't eat it!" Xiaobao obediently didn't make any more trouble.
Old man Li and Wang saw that there was no problem with the brothers and sisters who had eaten the fungus slices, so they were relieved.
Zhao Yunlan ate happily, and finally tasted the spicy taste in her heart.
