The cooking methods of chili peppers vary from place to place. Under Li Qing's suggestion, Aunt Tao planned to try the simplest and crudest method first.
Place a large pot on the stove, first pour half a pot of oil, heat until the oil is hot, add the onion, ginger, garlic and five spices to the pot and sauté until fragrant. Use a slotted spoon to take out the pot.
The pot was already smoking. At this time, Li Qing stepped in, took down the oil pot with a wet rag, and placed it on a support built with three bricks.
The most important thing is Aunt Tao. While the pot is still smoking, she throws in a large handful of sesame seeds, followed by three spoons of chili powder, half a spoon of pepper, half a spoon of sugar, and half a spoon of salt. Put the frying spoon in and stir it up a few times, then jump and run away...
As soon as the chili noodles are put into the hot oil pan, a lot of white smoke begins to come out of the oil pan. It's so choking that if you get even closer, you'll be smoked to tears...
However, the fragrance was really fragrant and filled the whole street.
After finally waiting for the white smoke to stop coming out of the big iron pot, several people couldn't help but move forward, greedily smelling the aroma in the pot, and couldn't help but drool.
Aunt Tao started to chase people away: "Go! Go! Go! It's not done yet, why join in the fun!"
The last step is to put the crunchy fried peanuts into the chili oil, stir it up, and it works together!
Aunt Tao scooped some out with a frying spoon, tasted a little, her eyes lit up, and she nodded with satisfaction.
"How is it? How does it taste?" Several people hurriedly came forward and stared at the frying spoon in Aunt Tao's hand without blinking.
"Well, not bad..." Aunt Tao said calmly, completely forgetting that her eyes were still red from being smoked just now.
"Oh..." The three people around cheered.
The monkey asked Boss Zhang anxiously: "Uncle Zhang, do you still have the big cake? I haven't had breakfast yet..."
"Another point……"
Before Boss Zhang could finish his words, the monkey had already rushed into the restaurant like an arrow had been shot in the butt. Li Qing followed closely behind, saying that he could not let the monkey monopolize anything.
There were still two pieces of plate-sized cake. Li Qing and Monkey each touched one piece, found a spoon and went out quickly.
Aunt Tao and Boss Zhang outside the door were taking a bite and I was taking a bite. They both nodded with satisfaction.
The monkey hesitated for a moment, then broke off half of the cake and gave it to Aunt Tao. Aunt Tao couldn't help but smile and nod, praising "good boy!" Li Qing also quickly broke off half a piece and handed it to Boss Zhang!
The monkey was already fishing in the pot: "Peanuts! Peanuts! My favorite little peanuts!"
"How many favorites do you have? I said before that your favorite is small money..." Li Qing took the opportunity to reveal the monkey's background.
Tear the flatbread from the middle, sandwich the oily chili pepper in the middle, take a bite, and your mouth will be full of fragrance. In one word...beautiful!
At this time, there were already several passers-by who were attracted by the strong aroma. Seeing the four people at the door of the restaurant enjoying their meal, they couldn't help but secretly swallow their saliva. Finally, someone who knew Boss Zhang couldn't help but stepped forward and asked What kind of food is this!
Since we know Boss Zhang, it is perfect for him to come forward. While explaining, he invited everyone to come and try it: "This is a condiment from our hometown. Try making it and see if everyone likes it. Try it." Give it a try and welcome your comments!”
Li Qing had already entered the restaurant and brought out a dozen small spoons. He handed out a spoon to anyone who wanted to try it: "This is a Chinese sauce. It can be spread on food or mixed with salad..."
Everyone gave a thumbs up after tasting it, and some immediately expressed that they wanted to buy some to dip into potatoes...
But how to sell it has given everyone difficulties. One is the issue of pricing, and the other is the issue of what container to use to hold it.
At this time, glass had become widely popular, and wine bottles and cups were not expensive items, but there were really no suitable glass products that could be used as containers for holding oily chili peppers.
The pricing was discussed by Boss Zhang and Aunt Tao, and Li Qing and Hou Hou did not participate. However, regarding the container issue, Boss Zhang proposed to find a manufacturer to customize some glass jars, but Li Qing and Hou Hou were strongly opposed.
"Uncle Zhang, I won't tell you the specific reason until there are fewer people! Anyway, it won't hurt you!"
There was no way, Li Qing had her own difficulties, so she could only persuade: "Well, I think we will make less oil chili at this stage. People who want to eat it can bring their own containers. Although it is a bit troublesome, fortunately The cost for both parties is not high, and people who like it will probably be happy to buy it this way!”
Aunt Tao also nodded in approval. Although there may be some people passing by who want to buy but can't take them away, but it's better to be safe.
The first pot of oily chili peppers, because they could not sell it, simply became a free tasting. After tasting it, they were told that if they wanted to buy it, they could bring something to serve in the future. Most people left satisfied.
Boss Zhang helped for a while and continued to clean up the pig waste. After all, the restaurant's business was what he worried about.
Li Qing and Monkey helped Aunt Tao sell chili oil in front of the restaurant. Overall, it was pretty good. I felt it would be a big hit and many people would like it.
While he was busy, Monkey suddenly slapped his head and hurriedly said to Li Qing: "I forgot about it. I also made an appointment with Carmel to meet today... I have to go..."
"Ah? When did it happen?" Li Qing opened her mouth wide.
"Yesterday morning! Before I came out of the military camp!"
Li Qing "..."
The monkey went to the water well to wash his face, briefly combed his hair with water, and then hurried away.
Li Qing asked: "Where are you going to find her?"
"Uh! We made an appointment in front of the municipal building yesterday, but now we're late. I don't know if I'm still there!" Monkey didn't even look back.
Aunt Tao also asked: "Are you coming back for lunch?"
Monkey hurriedly turned around and answered Aunt Tao with a smile: "I'll come back for lunch at noon. I might bring someone else with me!"
"There is a public carriage on the road, don't run in a hurry!" Aunt Tao warned loudly.
"Okay!" Monkey raised his hand and made an OK gesture without looking back.
Seeing the monkey running away, Aunt Tao's smile did not diminish and she asked Li Qing: "Who is that...Carmel...?"
Li Qing also laughed: "The liaison officer of the 46th Armored Army Headquarters has a crush on monkeys!"
Aunt Tao became even more curious: "Liaison officer of the military department? Isn't he very powerful?"
"Most people can't be a liaison officer for the military!" Li Qing indirectly told Aunt Tao that Carmel had a deep background.
"is it beautiful?"
"It's not bad, Waiguoren is quite pleasing to the eye. Besides, it's impossible for the big guys in the military to find an ugly liaison officer hanging around them every day, right?"
"Haha, that's true. I don't know if I'm a good match for Monkey..."
Li Qing complained secretly: Aunt Tao, what are you thinking about? Monkeys like this are a scourge. The woman who can control this monkey has not yet appeared. She knows people but not their hearts!
"You can see her at noon, but I don't think she can make it. Monkey is careless, and he probably just wants to play. How can we Chinese marry a foreign wife? Are you right?"
Aunt Tao also sighed: "That's right, I forgot that you are going back..."
Li Qing thought, why not take this opportunity to say something?
