HLnovel Chapter 151 Green Pepper
Chapter 151 Green Pepper
It's really annoying and hateful. I always brought a machete and a shovel when I went up the mountain before, but I didn't today, and then I ran into these green peppers.
It would be tiring to make another trip.
"Okay, these green peppercorns on the day lilies will be hard to pick, so let's go home first."
The two sisters went straight home without even picking a few mushrooms.
Along the way, Zhou Mingshu even thought of various ways to eat green peppercorns.
The peppers at home are about to mature, and now I have harvested fresh green peppercorns. The combination of the two creates a spicy and numb taste.
This will taste delicious no matter what you cook.
Spicy fish? Spicy chicken? Green pepper fish? Green pepper chicken wings?
You can also make some green pepper oil, with two pounds of oil for one pound of green pepper. Heat the oil to a high temperature and pour it on the pepper, then soak it for a day or two, and the spicy flavor will be very strong.
……
Just thinking about it makes your mouth water, okay?
How exciting!
Zhou Mingqi didn't know what his sister was thinking, he just felt that she was very happy.
Ignoring the sweat on their faces, the two sisters took the scissors and went out immediately.
After arriving at the place, Zhou Mingshu finally felt relieved. Fortunately, the animal was not taken away by others.
"Let's get started. This is enough for us to cut for a while."
"Should we finish cutting them? Just cut enough to eat. We still have red peppercorns at home."
"Cut more and make something delicious later."
Several of the dishes she wanted to make required more green peppercorns, so it wouldn't hurt to prepare some extra.
Besides, green peppercorns are not valuable. Many people prefer to eat red peppercorns, so they don’t pay much attention to them.
Only when there is no red peppercorns at home will people collect some green peppercorns to eat.
"Okay, what delicious food are you going to make?"
Zhou Mingqi becomes interested when it comes to food.
"Hahaha, if I tell you now, won't you be greedy? I'd better tell you when I'm ready."
The food she makes is both spicy and numbing, and people who have never eaten it can't even imagine how delicious it is.
"Okay, then you have to make more. I'm afraid there won't be enough to share. The dishes you cook are always delicious. I can never compete with Mingjie."
The two sisters looked at each other and smiled. Every time they had a meal, it was like a war at home. Grandma said that the family had a litter of piglets.
There are many sharp thorns on the pepper tree, and besides these thorns, there are also big insects. They carefully avoided them but were still scratched several times.
There were several bloody marks on the back of his hand, some of which had not broken the skin.
Zhou Mingshu wiped the back of Zhou Mingqi's hand and blew on it for her.
"Be careful, there is some medicine at home, let's go back and apply it."
The two of them picked some convenient ones on the outside of the pepper tree and cut them. Those inside were out of reach and not exposed to sunlight, so they did not look mature yet.
After looking at the half-basket of green peppercorns, the two sisters thought they would be enough for a while, so they stopped and went home.
"Er Ya, San Ya, how come you picked so many green peppercorns? I'm afraid we can't finish them all in the winter."
As soon as I reached the entrance of the village, I ran into Uncle Liu Qing who was transporting wheat home.
"Uncle Liu Qing, we found some when we went into the mountains. We picked them, stored them, dried them, and cooked them. Do you want to take some back?" Zhou Mingqi called out.
"Thank you, but my family doesn't need this. We have some red peppercorns at home, and we have a peppercorn tree in the field. This is enough for us to eat. If you want to eat red peppercorns, you can go to my house and get them."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Liu Qing."
When they reached the intersection, the three of them went back to their homes.
Zhou Mingqin had already picked the day lilies in the basket. Seeing her two sisters coming back, she took a broom to clean the ground and planned to continue picking green peppercorns.
"Ouch, my hands are bleeding. Stop it. I'll pick the rest."
"Okay, thank you, big sis."
The two of them drew some clean water and, enduring the stinging pain, cleaned the backs of their hands.
Zhou Mingshu took out the remaining anti-inflammatory medicine and applied it. The transparent ointment felt like gardenia ointment, and there was no need to worry about the powder falling off.
"It should scab over in a while, so it won't interfere with our bathing tonight."
The wound was shallow to begin with, and a scab quickly formed after a little bleeding.
After being washed with water just now, fresh wounds appeared again.
It won’t be too much of a problem to reapply the medicine now.
Zhou Mingqin used scissors to cut out the peppercorns one by one, and picked out the leaves and wooden needles on them one by one.
This is a delicate job, and it is probably impossible for one person to finish so many things before dinner time. Feng brought a small stool over to help with the cutting.
After all the fruits are cut out, they are spread out in baskets and dried on the roof.
"We're done, let's wash our hands and eat." Then he started to pull the table and put the stools.
With three fewer adults in the house, there is much more space to sit.
All the dishes are home-cooked. Since farming is busy these days, there is no time to eat meat.
The meal was not over yet when Jian Jiankang came over carrying something wrapped in straw.
Walk towards the kitchen cautiously.
"Sandan, I've brought you the rabbit you wanted. Let's go now."
Seeing that the family was still eating, the two little fat boys put down their food and ran away.
Old Mrs. Zhou originally wanted to give them some steamed buns, but she refused to stop them.
"What is this? Is it a rabbit?"
Old Mrs. Zhou pulled the straw apart, and inside lay a pink and tender...rabbit? ! !
"Why does it look like a mouse? Is it really a rabbit?"
Zhou Mingqi and Zhou Mingjie both came over to look. This little thing hasn’t grown much hair yet!
Her pink skin was exposed and her eyes were not open.
"This rabbit was only born a few days ago. Why did Jianjian and Kangkang send you such a small rabbit?"
Old Mrs. Zhou turned around and asked her little grandson, but Zhou Minghua on the side was so anxious that he stammered.
"Grandma, that was won by my brother and I... together. Jianjian and Kangkang said... whoever wins will get a... rabbit. We won."
"Wow~ You guys are so awesome~" Old Mrs. Zhou touched her granddaughter's braids and praised her with a smile.
"What did you win in the competition?"
"Who can pick up more wheat ears?"
After hearing what their granddaughter said, they understood.
In the afternoon, they brought Jianjian and Kangkang here for a run, and it turned out to be for this.
"Well, since it's been sent to us, let's keep it. But this rabbit is not easy to keep, so we need to put it in a special place."
Old Mrs. Zhou was a little reluctant to keep the rabbit and wanted Jianjian and Kangkang to take it away, but when she saw the looks in her grandchildren's eyes, she changed her mind.
He took a mat, put some straw on it, put the little rabbit on it, and carried it into the main room.
A rabbit this big needs to drink milk, but unfortunately there is no milk at home, so I can only feed it some soy milk.
Fortunately, there were some soybeans at home. Mrs. Zhou soaked some and planned to make some soy milk to drink.
