Chapter XXVII. Processing

When night falls, the stars twinkle, the glimmer of light pours down from the full moon, and the earth is covered with a hazy veil, like a dream, beautiful and charming.

The people in the village had already fallen asleep, and from time to time they would make a few whispers, all of which were so quiet and peaceful.

But there was a person who carried a shovel out of place, sneakily touched the backyard of the Su family, and began to loosen the soil at the base of the wall.

Tian Er took advantage of the cover of the night, and he himself was also very cautious, so he didn't make much movement.

If Su Qing saw Tian Er at this time, he would probably say that they were worthy of being mother and son, digging the corner of the wall and prying the root of the wall, it was so amazing that people wanted to beat them to death.

However, Tian Er is much smarter than Tian Li, he just loosened the soil, and did not turn the soil out.

He only made a small section this time, and in order not to be noticed by Su Qing, he planned to do it several times.

This is repeated many times, as long as there is a rainstorm, the ground collapses, the house will collapse without ground support, and people will be buried underneath.

Even if the official came, he couldn't find him.

Damn Su Qing, who told her not to give him silver, she put him in prison last time and made him look like this. He also killed his mother, leaving him with no source of money.

dared to provoke him Tian Er, and he buried their family.

Su Qing in the house didn't notice Tian Erda's bad intentions, and was still immersed in his sleep.

......

The next day, Su Qing still got up to boxing as usual, and had breakfast after the fight.

Today was the day she made an appointment with the people in the village, and when she saw that it was almost time, she walked towards the entrance of the village.

By the time she arrived at the entrance of the village, there were already villagers waiting there.

She made a rough count of the thirty people who came this time, all women and children. Now is the time of the busy farming, and the men are all working in the fields, so naturally they don't have time to come here.

When everyone was ready, Su Qing took them to Nuan Mountain, and after taking them to the pepper forest and disbanding, Su Qing carried his small basket and walked around.

If you are tired, find a tree to rest, rest and continue to wander around until the sun is about to go down.

Su Qing looked at a few fungus and some wild shiitake mushrooms in the basket, and felt that he could barely eat a meal at night.

To be honest, the climate of Warm Mountain is really weird, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, and for a while this place is hot and that place is cold.

The wild vegetables and fruits on the warm mountains have grown regardless of the season, some have been ripe, and some have only sprouted.

Su Qing felt that Nuanshan was like a natural cultivation vessel, no matter what season it was, as long as the seeds were planted, they could naturally regulate their growth.

She was also curious about the inner workings of the Warm Mountain, but she was reluctant to tear it open, and if she destroyed a mountain out of curiosity, she would have died.

After Su Qing went home, she brought a scale and asked the villagers to line up, and she collected the chili peppers one by one.

Today alone, she collected 300 catties a day, and I have to say that the strength of the masses is great, if she collects it herself, it is estimated that it will only be ten catties.

Su Qing felt that the chili peppers were enough, so he told the villagers that there was no need to pick them tomorrow, and if they picked too much, they would be wasted.

After sending the villagers away, she found the only large clay pot in the house, washed it and dried it to dry the water, so that the chili sauce could be fermented in a clean and free environment.

Su Qing dried the washed chili peppers, chopped them together with the ginger and put them in a jar, and then added an appropriate amount of salt and white wine.

Finally, chop the garlic into garlic paste, put it in the pot and fry until fragrant, put it in the vat and stir evenly, and then seal the vat and wait for them to ferment naturally.

Su Qing finished making chili sauce,

I started making dried chili peppers.

These two things had been the ones she had done most in her previous life, so how they were made was all too familiar to her.

She first deseeded all the remaining peppers, spread them out in a dustpan, and then covered the dustpan with a layer of breathable cloth to prevent insects from entering.

Fortunately, there are not many chili peppers left after making chili sauce, otherwise the two dustpans at home will not be able to be put down, and they will not be finished.

She plans to take the peppers to the small desert yard tomorrow to dry, the yard is very well lit, and the area is also very dry, so it is just right to dry the peppers.

And there is Xiao Cheng watching there, and she doesn't have to worry about the peppers being stolen.

Besides, if she is exposed at home, although she can take care of it in time, but the number is so large that she can't open her yard, and it will also attract attention, and it will be bad if there is trouble again.

After processing the chili peppers, Su Qing and Aunt Jinhua were already tired, especially the hands that touched the chili peppers felt hot and spicy, and they would feel better if they were put in cold water.

When I was busy just now, I didn't think time passed quickly, but now that the work is done, I find that it is late at night, but fortunately they had an early dinner today, otherwise they would not have time to eat.

"Auntie, do you have a small clay pot at home?"

Su Qing was paralyzed on the recliner, except for his mouth moving, everything else was casually drooping.

She is now very sore in her back, and it is the most troublesome to just remove the seeds of the chili pepper, which is a variety of small sharp peppers, and the largest is the thickness of her fingers.

And the stool was so short that she had to bend over all the time, not to mention how hard it was. She believed that Aunt Jinhua at this time also felt that her waist was very sore, and the feeling was indescribable.

Aunt Jin Hua shook her head at Su Qing tiredly.

Su Qing understood, it seemed that she would go to the town tomorrow to buy a batch of small jars and come back.

The two of them finally finished washing up and were just about to go to bed, when someone knocked on her door.

"Is Miss Su there?"

There was a thin woman standing outside the door, Su Qing had seen her during the day, and she was among the people in Shangnuan Mountain.

She came with her two children at the time.

Su Qing sighed, and was very helpless to open the door for the woman, she really wanted to be a salted fish now, so she wanted to stand there and not move, but the conditions did not allow it.

"Auntie, what's the matter? ”

Su Qing opened the door and saw her red and swollen eyes, as if she had just cried.

"No, my aunt just wants to ask you when you can continue to pick peppers. ”

The woman asked nervously, clutching the corners of her clothes with both hands.

"You can pick it the day after tomorrow, is there anything else going on with my aunt?"

Su Qing saw her standing at the door, and seemed to have something to say to her.

In the end, the woman suddenly knelt in front of Su Qing as if she had made up her mind, startling her, and immediately helped the woman up after reacting.

"Auntie, don't be like this, I can't stand it. ”

"Girl Su, can you pay me 20 yuan first? The day after tomorrow, my aunt will definitely work to pay you back, my child is sick and has no money to see a doctor, so my aunt begs you." ”

As she spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes.

"I thought it was a big deal, auntie, you wait, I'll be here in a while. ”

Su Qing went back to the house and took out twenty yuan and handed it to the woman.

These twenty texts are nothing to Su Qing, but to the woman, this is her child's life-saving money.

The woman took the money, held the twenty wen tightly with her rough and scarred hands, looked at Su Qing gratefully, and made a gesture to kneel down again, but Su Qing didn't let her kneel because she was in a hurry.

Su Qing sent the woman away before returning to the house, and Aunt Jinhua also asked about the person, and she also said it roughly and went back to her room.

She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes now, and she wanted to fly to bed immediately.

In fact, Su Qing felt that it was unlikely that the woman was a liar, even if she was a liar, she should deceive a little more, and it would be a great loss to kneel down for just twenty yuan.
