In the evening, when he returned home, Lin Xi saw that there were a lot of cabbages in the open space on one side of the yard.

When the four children saw her come back, they immediately surrounded her and happily invited her to take credit.

"Today, Daddy took us to pull cabbage, there were too many cabbages, but we still finished most of the land!"

I don't know when Lin Xi came back from going out, these four children would always come to greet her, and there were a lot more smiles on their faces when they looked at her.

Lin Xi smiled and praised a few words and asked; "Where's your father?"

Dabao said: "Dad said that there was something wrong and he went out, and he won't come back until a while." ”

Lin Xi sighed and said, "I brought back a lot of things, since your father is not here, those little men will help Aunt Lin take it, okay?" ”

The three boys nodded without hesitation.

Sibao said expectantly: "There are also four treasures, and the four treasures can also be used!" ”

Lin Xi rubbed her head and said with a smile: "The strength of the four treasures is not very strong, when they grow up, it will be fine." ”

Although Sibao is now well and there is no need to drink medicine, Lin Xi still takes care of her carefully, and has to give Sibao a soup boiled with Ganoderma lucidum every few days. If it weren't for the fear that Sibao's small body would not be able to stand the big supplement, she would have wanted Sibao to eat a piece of Ganoderma lucidum every day.

The children flocked out and dragged the things that Lin Xi had bought from the county into the yard.

When they saw a basket of bright red peppers, they didn't recognize this dish and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

Lin Xi said: "This is called chili, a very delicious vegetable. ”

"Really?"

Erbao's eyes lit up, and out of trust in Lin Xi's cooking skills, he couldn't help but stuff it into his mouth with his hand, wanting to taste what it tasted like.

This scene is terrible, Erbao's face suddenly changed, and his little face was red.

"No...... It's not tasty...... Hurt...... Woowoo woo ......"

Erbao was directly spicy and burst into tears, and his mouth was hot and painful. He didn't know how to describe the smell, but he felt very uncomfortable.

Dabao, Sanbao and Sibao were startled and suddenly anxious.

Lin Xi, who had entered the stove room, came out and saw this scene, and said with a smile: "Quick, Dabao, pour a bowl of cold water for Erbao." Sanbao, you go and get a piece of candy for Erbao. Erbao, don't rub your eyes with your hands! Don't touch your face either! ”

Seeing Erbao's movements, Lin Xi hurriedly walked over to stop him.

Dabao and Sanbao did as they were told, and Sibao surrounded Erbao and turned around in a hurry.

Lin Xi went to fetch a basin of water and put some fragrant leaves picked some time ago into it. The taste of this bay leaf is very fresh, it can be used to replace the toothpaste of later generations to clean teeth, and there is a refreshing smell of mint, which was found by Shen Chen from the mountains when he was hunting, and Lin Xi liked it the first time he used it.

She carried the water over, and saw Erbao holding Dabao's hand and drinking water, and her expression was in a trance.

After drinking the water, it was not enough, and Erbao immediately ate the sugar that Sanbao brought.

This kind of sugar is stored in cold weather, and it is also a little cold on its own, and it tastes very similar to rock sugar in later generations.

There was rock sugar pressing the spicy taste, and Erbao sat in place with empty eyes, as if he had lost his life ideals.

Sibao was so anxious that he was about to cry: "Brother, don't scare Sibao, what's wrong with you?" ”

When Erbao heard this, he raised his hand weakly and touched her head, "Second brother...... It's okay......"

Dabao and Sanbao looked at him worriedly, and when they saw Lin Xi coming, they immediately pulled Lin Xi and wanted her to take Erbao's pulse.

Lin Xi couldn't cry and laughed and washed the wet handkerchief, first wiped Erbao's face, and then pressed his hand into the water to wash, the refreshing feeling made Erbao finally get better, but it was still wilting.

He pouted and said, "I'll never eat that kind of dish again......"

Dabao nodded again and again.

Lin Xi said helplessly: "Silly Erbao, the chili pepper needs to be processed before it can be eaten." If you eat it directly, you won't be able to stand the spicy. ”

"Really?" Don't believe the two treasures.

Lin Xi said: "When I use it to make something delicious, you will know." ”

Erbao had palpitations, and finally didn't feel spicy. He wouldn't come near Chili anymore.

When Shen Chen came back, Lin Xi had made dinner.

She couldn't help but laugh and told Shen Chen about Erbao eating chili peppers.

Shen Chen was surprised: "That kind of dish, can you eat it?" ”

These words provoked Lin Xi to look at him, "You know chili peppers? ”

Shen Chen said: "I know that there is this kind of dish, but I don't know that it is called chili, and people who have eaten it say that it will kill people, so no one eats it." ”

"Oh, I knew you earlier, I would have asked you earlier! You don't eat chili peppers, it's really a terrible thing! Wait, I'll make you a delicious dish with chili peppers tomorrow that will swallow your tongue! Lin Xi said regretfully.

Shen Chen didn't believe it, but still felt that chili peppers were inedible.

After eating, Lin Xi and Shen Chen were in the courtyard to process the cabbage.

Lin Xi asked Shen Chen to put a large handful into the utility room first and store it, and leave the rest for her to make pickles, and distribute the cabbage leaves pulled back tomorrow like this.

Shen Chen didn't know what pickles Lin Xi was going to make, so he only obediently cooperated with her.

In the end, they dealt with the kind of things that Lin Xi bought, Shen Chen looked at the large amount of peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, wolfberry, and other things, and wondered: "What are these used for?" ”

Lin Xi said: "The base of the hot pot." ”

"Bottom?"

"Yes, I can't tell you clearly for the time being, but when I do, you'll know. I still need shiitake mushrooms, there should be them in the mountains, I went to the mountains to look for them in the past two days, and if they are available in the county, I will also buy some in the county. After Lin Xi finished speaking, he looked at a basket of red peppers and said, "These red peppers, wait until tomorrow to dry them first, and then I will use them for cooking." ”

Shen Chen's eyes were a little skeptical, but he still didn't think that red peppers could make anything delicious.

But Lin Xi did what he said.

The next day, Shen Chen took the children to work in the fields, and Lin Xi was at home to process the red peppers.

When she was drying red peppers, she took advantage of this free time to use a few cabbages to make a sour and crispy pickle, and then sealed it in a jar after processing and seasoning.

Then when he looked at the red pepper, Lin Xi's eyes lit up.

A lot of spicy dishes are waiting for her!

There are red peppers, and she can even make more flavors of pickled vegetables, what sour and spicy, sweet and spicy, pure spicy, just think about it makes her drool!

Of course, Lin Xi did not forget his promise to Shen Chen.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Lin Xi prepared lunch with a few red peppers first, and then got the rest in the afternoon.

Unexpectedly, she told that she underestimated the spiciness, and only cut one open, Lin Xi was stimulated by the spicy taste that rushed straight to the head and wanted to shed tears.

In the end, Lin Xi only used two small chili peppers to season, and the dishes he made were boiled pork slices and spicy chicken.

Because she was worried that Shen Chen and the children might really not be able to eat spicy physique, she also made non-spicy stir-fried pork with cabbage and braised eggplant.
