Chapter 68 The pepper is ripe

After this cattle drive incident, Li Mingren was no longer interested in the bullock cart, and even saw a shadow on the cow. He avoided the cow every time, and old man Li looked at Li Mingren's cowardly appearance, and once again

He mocked: "Look at you, you can't do anything, and you're the first to eat."

Li Mingren looked at Zhao Yunlan aggrievedly, thinking that I even made a mistake in eating now.

Zhao Yunlan was smiling next to him, and Li Mingren looked over. The two looked at each other, and Zhao Yunlan turned away awkwardly.

Li Mingren has been at home for a while, and the two of them get along fairly well. Zhao Yunlan still has no love for Li Mingren, either between a man or a woman or as a husband and wife. Zhao Yunlan is also very helpless! At the age of 18 or 19, it would be easy to get along.

I have a husband and children. In the modern world, when I was still in school at the age of eighteen or nineteen, I had to look forward to a sweet campus love when I was young and beautiful. Of course, I was not able to have a campus love as I wished when I was in college, but

Zhao Yunlan still looks forward to the beauty of love.

Here in Lijia Village, Zhao Yunlan looked at her husband, who was one year younger than herself. Although the age difference was nothing, in modern times, there are many siblings who are five, six or even ten years old, but Zhao Yunlan

Lan and Li Mingren are now only siblings but not in love.

Maybe it's because he has lived an extra lifetime. When he saw Li Mingren at the age of eighteen, he just felt like a little kid. He arranged for Li Mingren to do this and that at home all day long. Li Mingren also did a good job, although sometimes it was a hindrance to him and caused trouble.

Zhao Yunlan was angry, but Li Mingren always stood by and let Zhao Yunlan teach him. This way of getting along was not like that of siblings.

But to say that the relationship is really like that of brother and sister, after all, there is a marriage certificate, and there is also a little baby. Alas~ Zhao Yunlan scratched his head, not knowing how to solve this problem, so he had to pretend to be confused!

The quiet days in Lijia Village passed day by day. The peppers in the Liu family's courtyard were all ripe, and some were still overripe and red in color. At first glance, they looked like little lanterns hanging up, which looked very cute. At that time, Liu

The old man agreed to give this chili pepper to Zhao Yunlan as a gift, so Zhao Yunlan came here early in the morning carrying a small backpack!

Old Mrs. Liu looked at Zhao Yunlan's posture, laughed, and said: "These peppers look good, but they are not suitable for eating. If you are not tired, you can pick them all back!"

Zhao Yunlan was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Mrs. Liu, I'm welcome!"

Old Mrs. Liu waved his hand indifferently.

Zhao Yunlan picked off the first chili pepper and brought it to her nose to smell it. The pepper was so spicy that it almost choked people. Zhao Yunlan thought that the hot and sour rice noodles were now very flavorful, and she seemed to see spicy food.

Hot pot is beckoning to me.

Zhao Yunlan was happy in her heart and did not stop her hands. However, there were still some that were not fully cooked, so Zhao Yunlan did not pick them off.

There were only a few pepper trees, and the fruit yield was pretty good. Zhao Yunlan grinned when she looked at the small basket of peppers.

When Mrs. Liu saw Zhao Yunlan like this, she couldn't help but asked curiously: "Mrs. Zhao, what is the use of this pepper?"

Zhao Yunlan thought for a while and told Old Man Liu truthfully: "Back to Old Man Liu, I actually want to take it back to see if the pepper is edible. If it is edible, I plan to cultivate more pepper seeds in it to create a variety of varieties."

some."

Old Mrs. Liu became interested: "Oh? Are you saying that it is possible that this pepper can be eaten?"

Zhao Yunlan was stunned for a few seconds: "I'm just guessing. I'll go back and try it with the chickens at home first. Why don't Old Mrs. Liu let people feed them to some animals? Then I'll visit Old Mrs. Liu and discuss this together.

Pepper." In fact, Zhao Yunlan wanted to go back and just fry the meat and eat it.

Old Mrs. Liu nodded: "Yes, this is interesting. Then I will give it a try. Then I will also write a record and we will discuss it again."

Zhao Yunlan nodded, said goodbye and returned to Lijiacun.

Li Mingren was reading in the room, Xiaobao was resting with Old Man Li and Wang in the upper room, and Mingli and Mingmei didn't know where they were.

Zhao Yunlan put the peppers into the kitchen and started to process them. First, he took a few peppers to fry the fungus meat slices with peppers in the evening. The rest were used to dry in the sun, and some were ground into powder and then made into oil.

Chili seeds, and save the rest as seeds to be planted next spring.

Zhao Yunlan was busy talking all afternoon, and Li Mingren had helped Zhao Yunlan move the peppers several times. Zhao Yunlan was busy drying the peppers in the yard, and saw Li Mingren looking around in the room, so Zhao Yunlan arranged for Li Mingren to move the peppers from time to time.

Come out and take a look. If the sun slowly sets and the sun is blocked by the house, quickly move the peppers to the sun and continue to bask in them. You have to keep an eye on them from time to time, lest some birds fly over and peck the peppers.

.

Li Mingmei and Li Mingli came back and looked at the peppers drying in the yard.

Li Mingli: "Sister-in-law, is this the pepper you go to town to take care of every day?"

Zhao Yunlan nodded happily.

Li Mingmei looked at the red and green ones and felt so cute, and asked: "Sister-in-law, these peppers are so beautiful, can they be eaten?"

Zhao Yunlan smiled mysteriously, "You'll know in a moment."

Zhao Yunlan went to the kitchen and asked the three brothers and sisters to look at the pepper. They could not tell anyone about the pepper for the time being. He also told Xiaobao not to touch it. The pepper was really spicy. There were several peppers when Zhao Yunlan was handling it just now.

It was crushed, so Zhao Yunlan grabbed it with bare hands, and her hands were still burning.

Zhao Yunlan ignored the burning on her hands and cut the few chili peppers that were left for frying the meat. Thinking about the chili and fungus meat slices in the evening, her mouth watered.

At the dinner table, the Li family looked at the spicy pepper and fungus meat slices, and then at Zhao Yunlan. In order to reassure everyone, Zhao Yunlan said: "Father, mother, don't worry, I have already fed the chicken, and the chicken has taken a few bites."

It looks fine. I just tasted it in the kitchen, but it was a little spicy."

Old Man Li and Mr. Wang still didn't dare to take down their chopsticks, but Li Mingren supported Zhao Yunlan very much. When he took a chopstick, it was full of chili peppers. As soon as he closed his eyes and took one sip, tears flowed from the spicy food. Zhao Yunlan quickly poured a bowl of water for Li Mingren.

, Li Mingren felt better now, but his mouth was already red.

Zhao Yunlan said: "This pepper is indeed spicy. I use less of it, mainly to add flavor. Try this fungus meat slices and see what difference the pepper makes."

Li Mingli watched his eldest brother eat even the peppers, and then he picked up a piece of meat to taste. The meat was a bit spicy, but it didn't make him cry. Li Mingli thought it would be a good meal. Li Mingmei also ate the fungus, which had a spicy taste.

, one bite after another. Xiaobao looked at everyone eating the slices of fungus meat stir-fried with peppers, and also wanted to eat more, but Zhao Yunlan stopped him, "Hey, Xiaobao, you can't eat this spicy food!" Xiaobao said

Only then did he obediently stop making trouble.

Old Man Li and Mrs. Wang felt relieved after seeing that the brothers and sisters had eaten the fungus meat slices without any problem.

Zhao Yunlan ate her meal happily, finally getting the spicy taste she had been craving for.
