Chapter 172 Preserved Eggs with Chili Peppers
In the small orchard next to the hot spring, tomatoes and strawberries are growing vigorously.
After Mao Xi received the small tomatoes that Mo Feng brought from Biyoudongtian, he made them into a new delicacy, and the sales were pretty good in the past two days.
She brought two cans of black plum meat with her, preparing to share the black plum tomatoes with Brother Mo Feng, and pick some more small tomatoes when she went home.
The local dogs Dahuang and Yuanbao followed behind Mao Xi.
The little spirit mouse was taken by Ajiao. This morning she went to Songjian Academy with Xiaodouzi to learn painting from Mr. Mi.
Mo Feng saw Shu Xi and greeted warmly: "Ah Shu, you are here. The tomatoes and strawberries in your little orchard have grown longer after eating. You can't finish them. You can't finish them at all!"
This spiritual spring + blind box seeds are really a perfect match.
Mao Xi washed a plate of small tomatoes with hot spring water, sandwiched the black plum meat and asked Mo Feng to taste it.
"Brother Mo Feng, try it. This is the fruit that my shop is selling recently."
Mo Feng is almost tired of eating these small tomatoes recently, but with this black plum, it seems to be pretty good.
"Sour~sweet! Ah Shu, you can only imagine such a novel way to eat it."
"Woof woof, woof woof!" The two native dogs stuck out their tongues and clucked, their dark eyes staring straight at the plum tomatoes, and their tails almost wagging into a little whirlwind.
Mo Feng picked up the black plum tomatoes from the table and threw them at Rhubarb and Yuanbao respectively. The two dogs received the food accurately.
Mao Xi left a can of black plum meat for Mo Feng: "Brother Mo Feng, these are for you. You can also eat them by yourself on weekdays."
When the two local dogs were fed, they forgot about Mao Xi and kept circling around Mo Feng.
Mo Feng packed the collected dried roses and daylilies and gave them to Mao Xi: "I dried these for you, and I kept some for myself. My sister Mo Xia wrote to me, saying that she will go to Lihua Town to see you in the near future. Eat delicious food, don’t spoil her, her stomach is really big!”
"Haha, it's okay, Brother Mo, my shop has enough fried rice!"
Mao Xi looked around and saw no panda Huahua, so she asked, "Where did Huahua go to play?"
"I should be eating bamboo shoots."
After Mo Feng finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to go to the bamboo forest to find Huahua. Two native dogs followed him all the way.
Hey, this bitch really wants to kiss whoever has something to eat!
Leaving behind the roasted sweet potatoes and steamed buns, Mao Xi bid farewell to Mo Feng and carried the freshly picked tomatoes and strawberries down the mountain.
When passing by the deserted temple, she saw that Monk Wen Yuan was planting peppers in the small vegetable garden. Mao Xi went into the greenhouse of the space, took out a few newly sprouted pepper seedlings, and gave them to Monk Wen Yuan.
Monk Wenyuan planted the pepper seedlings and asked, "Donor Ahsui, what is the variety of this pepper?"
"Haha, actually I don't know what kind of pepper it is. It may be very spicy or slightly spicy. Master Wenyuan, do you eat spicy food?"
"Amitabha, since I came to Lihua Town and Liujia Village, I have learned to eat spicy food. This tofu mixed with chili peppers becomes more and more delicious the more I eat it!"
Both of them were very knowledgeable about food, so Shu Xi chatted with Monk Wenyuan about food in the temple.
She took some small tomatoes and strawberries from her backpack and gave them to Monk Wenyuan, and made a plate of plum tomatoes for him to taste.
How could Monk Wenyuan eat such delicious food? He put it into his mouth one after another.
Under the delicious attack of small tomatoes, Monk Wen Yuan was completely conquered by it and pulled Mao Xi to ask for the seedlings of these small tomatoes.
Mao Xi left the black plum strips with Monk Wenyuan and took him to his vegetable garden.
The vegetable garden has been planted with new pepper seedlings just cultivated in the greenhouse. There are various varieties and the spiciness is unknown. Some of the colorful peppers and thorns on the side are already ripe.
The small tomatoes in the vegetable field do not grow as fast as those in the cave, and are still in the bud stage.
Mao Xi pulled out a few small tomato seedlings with soil, wrapped them in corn leaves, and handed them to Monk Wenyuan.
"Master Wenyuan, you can pick whatever vegetables you like from the fields."
Monk Wenyuan really likes spicy food, so he picked some colorful peppers and two vitex branches.
Mao Xi originally wanted to make some side dishes with chili peppers and invite Monk Wenyuan to have lunch at home, but there was no tofu and vegetarian gluten at home, only chili peppers, so he had to give up.
Saying goodbye to Monk Wenyuan, she returned to Lihua Town with fruits and vegetables.
The two thorns picked today were green, and a dish that to her could be regarded as devilishly spicy flashed through Mao Xi's mind: "Preserved Eggs with Chili Peppers."
Liuxiang Snacks had arrived, and she became greedy when she thought of this dish.
Yaomei and Xiaoqing were cooking, and Mao Xi went to the kitchen to clean the two vitex sticks.
There are no preserved eggs in the shop, but it doesn't matter, Mao Xi has a virtual mall.
<Purchased preserved eggs successfully>
Mao Xi bought 20 of them at once, spending 35 Wen.
She has been worried that everyone will not be able to bear the stench of preserved eggs. Mao Xi has not yet tried cooking with preserved eggs. Today, she will try it with the store staff.
She first peeled two preserved eggs, washed them and put them in a bowl. The smell, like ammonia, hit her nostrils.
Mao Xi likes this special smell that's a bit smelly, just like durian and snail noodles, which are smelly and fragrant.
When Ah Jiao saw the preserved egg, she curiously asked, "Sister, why is this egg black and has white snowflakes on it?"
"This is a preserved egg, also called a preserved egg, so it is black." Mao Xi replied without thinking.
Hearing Mian Xi call "Pi Dan", the native dog "Pi Dan" squatting at the door rushed to Mian Xi's side, his little tail wagging.
"Ajiao, Sister A is going to cook. You can take the preserved egg to the door and play with it."
"Pidan, let's go! Let's go outside to bask in the sun."
Mao Xi first removed the chili stems from the two wattle sticks without cutting them, then put them directly into the pot and stir-fried them without adding salt.
Press with a spatula to fry the peppers into tiger skin shape, transfer to a plate, and tear off the burnt skin of the peppers while they are still hot.
Prepare a large stone mortar, add four garlic cloves, and pound them into minced garlic with a wooden hammer.
Then pour in the chili and preserved eggs, add a small amount of soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and sugar.
Beat it with a wooden hammer until it turns into a paste, then pour it out and put it on a plate.
Sticky preserved eggs wrap each chili. Although this dish doesn’t look very good, it’s super delicious.
The aroma of chili also neutralizes the pungent smell of preserved eggs.
"It's served~ This dish is ready for rice. Come and try it."
After being fooled by Ma Xi, everyone tried this dish one after another.
"What does this smell like? Why does it stink?!"
"It's so spicy, it's so spicy!"
"Ah Shu, why is this dish of yours... getting better and better the more you eat it?"
"Wow~ It smells so good!"
Sure enough, everyone has their own preferences for radish and green vegetables.
Mao Xi snickered, the delicious food must be shared with everyone!
This dish was so spicy that she shed tears, but she couldn't stop picking it up with her chopsticks.
Only Zhang Xiucai and Lou Lan'er could resist the spiciness of the pepper-preserved eggs, especially Zhang Xiucai, who had already started to eat his second bowl of rice.
The earth dog preserved eggs were spinning in circles under the dining table. The naughty Ajiao used chopsticks to pick up a chili strip wrapped in preserved eggs and threw it into the back yard.
The silly preserved egg rushed over, biting the chili strips and sneezing wildly.
The poor little preserved egg was so hot that his eyes watered.
