Chapter 187 Little Yellow Pepper
In the early morning, Mrs. Chen brought two big bags of yellow peppers from Liujiacun to the shop.
Yellow pepper is a new type of pepper that grows in the fields. It is not big, only two knuckles long.
Mao Xi put away the chili peppers, leaving half as seasoning and the other half as yellow chili sauce.
Don't underestimate this small yellow pepper, its spiciness is many times spicier than that of millet.
At first, everyone didn’t believe it, but Xiaoqing was quite good at eating spicy food. She confidently took a small yellow pepper and put it in her mouth.
He was so hot that he lost control of his expression: "Shopkeeper, what kind of chili is this? I can't stand it, it's too spicy!"
Yaomei was chopping small yellow peppers to make chili sauce. She choked to tears and sneezed wildly.
After the yellow pepper sauce is made, it is even better than the chopped pepper sauce made before.
Mao Xi took a fish head from the kitchen, cut it into pieces and marinated it in onion and ginger juice.
Then he started to boil water in a pot, put in the fish head, and added rice wine and salt to remove the fishy smell.
When the water is slightly boiled, remove the floating foam and break out the fish heads for later use.
Mao Xi took out a casserole, put a layer of onions on the bottom, and put the fish heads in it.
Heat oil in a pan, stir-fry minced ginger, garlic, and yellow pepper paste until fragrant, then spread on the fish head.
Before the simmering started, as soon as the sauce was poured on it, the aroma burst out.
Cover and simmer for six minutes, remove from the pan and sprinkle with a little chopped green onion, and it's ready to serve.
Mao Xi invited everyone to try the dish together: "This is "Yellow Pepper Fish Head". Come and try it. How does it taste?" "
Luda, who loves meat, was first attracted by the smell of fish and couldn't help but use his chopsticks.
Without anyone noticing, he took a bite of the yellow pepper and was so spicy that he couldn't speak. His eyes filled with tears and he kept blinking.
"Is it that exaggerated? It's just a yellow pepper!"
Others also tried to taste small yellow peppers, but unfortunately they had no experience in eating spicy food and they said it was spicy to the eyes.
"How do you like this fish?" Mao Xi asked everyone to try this fish.
Zhang Xiucai: "This tastes different from pickled fish, but it is so spicy. I wonder if the people of Lihua Town can get used to it?"
"At that time, some noodles will be added to the side of the fish head, and the sauce will be mixed, and it will be another staple dish."
While everyone was discussing the new dishes, Mu Zhiyuan rode his horse and stopped outside Liuxiang Snack Shop.
He brought the latest news about Lin Mansion.
The letters exchanged with the Caobang proved that the two companies secretly transported fire and thunder bombs to the enemy country in small quantities and many times through freight.
The imperial court had already led troops to exterminate the Cao Gang, and the Lin family committed suicide after learning that treason was exposed.
"The Lin Mansion was on fire last night, and all the Lin family members died."
It’s true that evil comes with its own consequences!
Seeing that Mu Zhiyuan was dusty, he seemed to have not had breakfast yet.
"Brother Mu, you have just returned to Lihua Town. I will get you some porridge. What kind of food do you want to eat?"
"I smell the aroma of fish." Mu Zhiyuan swallowed. He hadn't eaten Mao Xi's food for many days and was starting to get greedy.
The yellow pepper fish head on the plate was almost finished, so Ma Xi started the pot again, stir-fried a plate of fresh bamboo shoots and mushrooms with yellow pepper, and made another plate of yellow pepper fish head.
The spicy flavor of yellow pepper goes well with fish.
Mao Xi fished some noodles with water, poured a few spoonfuls of yellow pepper fish head juice over the noodles, mixed a portion of noodles and sent it to Mu Zhiyuan.
"Ah Shu, I have food, and you give me another portion of noodles. I can't finish it."
"If you can't finish it, just give it to me." Without saying anything, Lu Da took the noodles and started eating by himself.
Seeing that everyone could accept the taste of yellow pepper, Ma Xi planned to sell the small yellow pepper chili sauce in the shop.
She went to the grocery store and found Shopkeeper Tao and bought thirty small clay pots.
Return to the shop, put the prepared yellow pepper sauce into a small clay pot and seal it.
When Brother Ying took a small basket to sell preserves in the afternoon, he brought some chili sauce to sell with him.
The first place he went to was Songjian Academy. Su Xuexue often asked Mao Xi to buy some minced pepper sauce.
Seeing Brother Ying selling yellow pepper sauce, he bought a can and returned to the academy, where he made a stir-fry of yellow pepper and seasonal vegetables at noon.
The spicy aroma of yellow pepper wafted from the kitchen. Master Mi Yuan choked on the smell of pepper and said, "Brother Su, your pepper smells very spicy."
"This is Mao Xi's new yellow pepper sauce. It seems that his shop has new dishes."
In the evening, Su Xuexue invited Mi Yuan and Nalan Jue to have a meal at Liuxiang Snacks.
As soon as Mi Yuan entered the shop, he asked Zhang Xiucai: "Xiucai, the shop has a new side dish made of yellow pepper?"
"Hello, Mr. Mi, the shopkeeper has new stir-fried pork with yellow pepper and fish head with yellow pepper today."
"There are fish to eat!" Su Xueguo's eyes lit up.
On weekdays, he likes to eat fish the most, and he will also study various fish recipes.
The three of them ordered yellow pepper fish head, yellow pepper stir-fried pork and a green plum feast.
The waiter, Ah Xing, poured some yellow pepper sauce on a small plate and served it with the free appetizers.
As soon as the dishes were served, Nalan Jue began to study how to make fish.
Shu Xi was not in the shop, but Lou Lan'er was back.
Seeing that Nalan Jue was coming up with food recipes again, she took two cans of yellow pepper sauce from the kitchen and placed them in front of Nalan Jue.
"Mr. Nalan, this yellow pepper sauce is the secret to braised fish. It's newly made today. If it's spicy, you should eat less."
"Hahaha! As long as it's delicious food, I can accept it even if it's spicy."
"Why don't you see Miss Miao Xi today?"
Xuexue Su looked around, looking for Mao Xi's figure in the shop.
"The shopkeeper spends his nights selling fried chicken in Kaitang."
Nalan Jue felt a little regretful: "It seems that I have to go to Kaitang County to eat snacks in the future so that I can meet Ah Shu."
In Kaitang County, fried chicken sales have been as good as ever these past two days.
Rumors of Lin Mansion's treason soon spread throughout the county, and Lin Mansion was destroyed by a fire.
When the local bully fell, those who had been bullied by the Lin family all year round were as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
Shui Xi is always happy without the Lin brothers and sisters against her.
She also made a special offer, offering 50% off all fried chicken for three days in a row, plus a free sour plum soup for every extra penny.
The activity was so intense that the queue waiting for food formed again.
Mu Zhiyuan helped fry the chicken, while Mao Xi cut the chicken steaks and sprinkled them with spicy powder.
"Shopkeeper, cut the chicken steak into smaller portions for me. I want it spicier."
"Okay! There is yellow pepper sauce today. Do you want to brush some on it?"
“The spicier the better~”
