My husband in farming

After the Laba Festival, Da Zhang went to Pingnan City for Han Ping to pick up the goods with the caravan on which the sun never sets.Han Ping promised Xiao Xiao that he would take him with him when he went to Pingnan City in the future, but now that the weather is so cold in winter, Han Ping would not want to take his little brother with poor health to go far away at this time.So he asked Da Zhang to run for him.

Dazhang was very fast. He went there on the first day, rushed all night, and came back the next afternoon.At the same time, I brought back a cart of potted plants with crescent-shaped fruits and several large boxes.Xiao Xiao told Han Ping that if there were naturally dried peppers, he would also bring them back.So Da Zhang pulled them back together.Last time, the two pots of peppers were given to Han Ping for nothing by the caravan on which the sun never sets. Unexpectedly, it didn’t take long before Han Ping left a letter and bought another batch from them. Therefore, the killed peppers that Han Ping wanted were never set Even if the caravan was given to him for nothing.

Xiao Xiao thought that Dazhang would bring back a lot of peppers this trip, but after Dazhang brought them back, he found that there were less than a hundred pots in total.

"This is already the most they can produce. It is said that they searched the whole city, and they searched all the mountains. They brought everything they could find." Da Zhang looked at Xiao Xiao with a look of displeasure. Satisfied, I quickly opened my mouth to explain to him.

Xiao Xiao nodded, knowing that chili peppers are not popular at this stage, so having this amount is already quite a lot.So he directed Han Ping to move all the peppers to the yard.After waiting for the vegetables in the greenhouse to be harvested, I plan to transplant all these peppers into it.

After the chili peppers were arranged, Xiao Xiao led everyone to start making chili sauce early the next morning.The chili sauce made by Xiao Xiao is very easy, it is a simple version of garlic chili sauce.Chop the chili and garlic, stir and sprinkle with salt to seal.Not too difficult but a lot of work.So the whole family stopped their work and helped Xiao Xiao make chili sauce together.

Xiao Xiao was in charge of picking the peppers off the seedlings and washing them.The two mothers-in-law and Xiao Zhang are responsible for chopping the peppers.Han Ping, Dazhang and Uncle Wang are in charge of chopping garlic.Xiao Xiao's job was the easiest to complete. After he picked off the ripe peppers and cleaned them, he found a big earthenware pot, cleaned the inside, and waited to put the pepper sauce in it.

"You guys have to remember to chop the peppers with your gloves on." Xiao Xiao hurriedly said before everyone did it, "Don't reach out to chop so many peppers directly." At that time, your hands will be sore.

"Why, Brother Xiao, it's inconvenient to wear gloves." Xiao Zhang didn't quite understand, it took a lot of effort to chop these peppers with a kitchen knife while wearing gloves.He would rather chop it with bare hands.

"Listen to me, otherwise you will have to cry for two days after chopping these chili peppers." Xiao Xiao didn't scare anyone, he was sure that if Xiao Zhang chopped it with bare hands, he would be so hot and cry for several days.

After being so solemnly warned by Xiao Xiao, several people could only start working with gloves on.Although it was a lot of trouble, I could barely use a kitchen knife.

Fortunately, Dazhang didn't bring many peppers back, and everyone made them together. Nearly a hundred pots of peppers were chopped up and put into clean clay pots in one day.

At first, Xiao Xiao estimated that he could use about three catties of garlic, but in the end he only used a little more than two catties.In fact, if you make it more carefully, you can put some minced ginger and pears in the chili sauce, or the condiment of star anise pepper.But seeing that everyone is so tired today, Xiao Xiao just forget it and just make a simple version.

Han Ping poured the last batch of minced garlic into the clay pot, turned to look at Xiao Xiao, "What to do next?"

"Sprinkle salt, mix well, and seal it for a few days. You can add more salt, so that the storage time can be longer." Han Ping nodded.Xiao Zhang quickly brought a small jar of salt, Han Ping stirred it with a long pestle, and Xiao Zhang poured salt into it.Stir until the minced garlic and chili are evenly mixed, and Xiao Zhang's jar of salt is also empty.Xiao Xiao clapped his hands, and put the lid on the pot.

"Okay, come and have a look in a few days." Xiao Xiao shook his arm and said, obviously he did the least work among the people in the whole house, but now he looks more tired than everyone else.What a spoiled body.Xiao Xiao spurned himself in his heart.

"After dinner, let Xiao Zhang boil some hot water, and you go into the room to make a good bubble." Han Ping saw Xiao Xiao's movements and knew that he was tired.Thinking that he has already arranged the easiest job for him to do, but he will still be tired in the end.Han Ping thought to himself that he had to let Xiao Xiao exercise with him as soon as possible.

Xiao Xiao responded, "You'll have a soak later, you didn't lose your work today." Compared to himself, Han Ping really put in a lot of effort.

Han Ping nodded and agreed.

Because it was getting dark, Xiao Xiao didn't continue to sort out the remaining dried peppers.Wait until you wake up the next day.

As a result, Xiao Xiao was forcibly woken up by Han Ping early the next morning.Xiao Xiao squinted his eyes, half asleep and half awake looking at the bright sky outside, still a little dazed.Han Ping didn't give Xiao Xiao a chance to go back to sleep, and while Xiao Xiao was in a daze, he hurriedly waited for the person to wash his face and change his clothes, and pulled him out the door.

As soon as Xiao Xiao went outside and felt the cold air in the early morning, his whole body shivered for a while, and he regained his energy.

"Do you exercise so soon? I think I can recover from my illness for a few more days." Xiao Xiao looked at Han Ping flatteringly and said.

Han Ping was amused by Xiao Xiao's words, he pinched Xiao Xiao's face, "Be obedient, if you continue to support him, you will really recover from illness." Han Ping especially emphasized the word "recovery".

Xiao Xiao smacked his lips for a moment, and when he heard the meaning of Han Ping's words, he stopped making jokes and obediently followed Han Ping to the yard to exercise with him.Han Ping got up an hour earlier than Xiao Xiao. He had already finished exercising, and now he was exercising with Xiao Xiao.

Han Ping knew that too much was too late, especially Xiao Xiao's body was still pampered by him all the time, so he took him for a jog around the porch of his house on the first day, and took him to fight half a set of punches before finishing.Usually when it's Si time, Xiao Xiao has already finished his meal and got into the shed.As a result, after Xiao Xiao finished his meal today, he went back to the house and fell asleep again.

Han Ping knew that he should not be pushed too hard, so he didn't stop him and told him to sleep until he had enough sleep.

Xiao Xiao slept until noon. After eating, he went to the greenhouse to check the growth of vegetables that day, and made basic records.Then he went to the warehouse in the backyard and asked Da Zhang to carry out the boxes of dried chilies, and he checked them one by one.Xiao Xiao threw away some badly sun-dried and rotten peppers.After Xiao Xiao picked out the three boxes of dried chilies, there was about half a box left.Looking at the dried chilies in the box, Xiao Xiao didn't think there were too many of them. After all, they were all dried in the air, so it was not easy to have so many that could be used.

"Da Zhang, throw away the peppers in those two boxes, it's useless." Xiao Xiao pointed to the peppers in the other two boxes and said to Da Zhang.Da Zhang nodded, and carried the box with Uncle Wang to dispose of the peppers.

The batch of chili peppers that Xiao Xiao picked out was to be made into chili noodles.Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao went to his mother-in-law and asked them to help him make it.Afterwards, Xiao Xiao went to Li Zimu's pharmacy to buy a batch of Chinese prickly ash, star anise, dill and cumin.

Xiao Xiao originally only wanted to go to Li Zimu to buy some fennel, but unexpectedly Li Zimu had everything there.

Xiao Xiao looked at Li Zimu with a tangled face as he packaged the seasoning he wanted and handed it to him. He endured for a long time before asking, "If you don't know this, you must think that you have opened a seasoning shop here. Why do you have all kinds of seasonings?" .”

Li Zimu looked at Xiao Xiao with extremely contemptuous eyes, "You can use all these things as medicine. To be precise, it's because of your own short-sightedness."

"Well, you are a great doctor, you are amazing." Xiao Xiao always quarrels with Li Zimu, and he has long been used to it. He took the medicine bag, raised his head and said to him: "Call Brother Xu to come to my house to eat in two days." food."

"What to eat?"

Xiao Xiao originally wanted to talk about eating boiled fish, but then he thought that if there were too many people and the weather was cold, it would be better to eat hot pot.So he said: "It's natural to eat something warm in winter. You'll know when you bring Brother Xu here."

"Okay." Li Zimu agreed.

Holding the seasoning he bought, Xiao Xiao turned around and went home to give it to Granny Liu, asking her to chop it up for him.This time the amount of dried chilies was much smaller, so Xiao Xiao didn't use Han Ping's help, and followed the two mother-in-laws to chop up all the seasonings and mix them together.Packed separately into a small jar.

Prepare to eat together after the chili sauce is ready.
