Chapter 16 Planting Peppers
Then Su Xiaomu rolled his eyes, his face so calm that no one could see any clues.
"There used to be a butcher in the village. My father often asked me to go there to buy meat before my family declined. The more I went there and saw more, of course I became good at it."
"Besides, I can also knead fur. Just watch it, dad. When I have time, I can finish the rabbit skin and make a pair of gloves for my husband."
Su Xiaomu originally wanted to do it for Mr. Li or Mr. Gu, but when he thought that the whole family revolved around Gu Jingcheng, he quietly changed the partner.
Sure enough, after hearing that she was going to make rabbit skin gloves for Gu Jingcheng, Mr. Gu nodded with satisfaction, smoked a cigarette and went back into the house.
Su Xiaomu stewed half of the rabbit meat, baked some biscuits, tore the biscuits into pieces and boiled them in the rabbit meat soup. Finally, he added wild peppercorns to enhance the flavor. When it was served to the dinner table, the eyes of the whole family were bright!
There was a lot of meat, and Ms. Li asked everyone to eat it, but Ms. Yin and Ms. Chen still consciously ate more cakes and left the meat for the men and children.
Su Xiaomu did not have such a consciousness. Of course, she had to first satisfy her own appetite for the things she had made by herself.
Several children ate the rabbit meat in small bites. They were reluctant to gobble it up and chewed it slowly in their mouths, savoring the aroma of the meat.
Su Xiaomu's skill is very good. The rabbit meat is stewed until the bones and flesh are separated. When you take a bite, you will feel that the meat is extremely soft, and every piece is filled with soup.
Gu Ruochuan's eyes were bright and he looked at Su Xiaomu with admiration for her: "It's great to have the third aunt here."
"Yes, yes, after third aunt came, our family can eat meat every day."
Gu Ruochen wiped the corners of his greasy mouth with his hand, and he grinned with a happy smile on his face: "In the past, grandma only cooked meat for us when the third uncle came back, and the third uncle always ate more.
.”
"That's because your third uncle is working hard on your studies, so you need to take more supplements. When our Ruochen Ruokawa goes to private school in the future, grandma will let you eat well every time like your third uncle."
Su Xiaomu only felt that the child's thoughts were simple and simple. After just a few meals, he could tell who was the central axis of the family.
The corners of her mouth raised slightly, with a smile: "Eat quickly, otherwise the meat will be eaten."
The twins originally wanted to talk, but when they heard that the meat was about to be eaten, they immediately immersed themselves in fighting against the rabbit meat in the bowl.
After dinner, Ms. Yin went to wash the dishes. Ms. Li asked Su Xiaomu to go back to the house to rest early, and did not ask her to work the next morning.
Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Chen took Gu Ruotong up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, leaving her to look after the house and help take care of their three children.
This job is considered light. After all, children in rural areas play outside all day long. If they don't help the family with farm work, they don't come back until after dinner.
Su Xiaomu picked a lot of peppers yesterday and dug some pepper seedlings.
She cleared the land behind the yard and planned to plant some pepper seedlings so that she could be self-sufficient in peppers in the future.
Although she is not very good at farm work, she still knows how to grow vegetable seedlings.
After all, she used to have a small yard outside her house, and she planted many flowers and plants outside.
Sometimes, in order to shoot a food video, she was involved from the growth of the food to the final result, so Su Xiaomu knew some of the most basic methods of handling plants.
"What is Third Aunt doing?"
Gu Ruochen ran home with a bang. His face and hands were covered in mud, and he didn't know where he went to play.
Su Xiaomu pulled him over, washed his hands and face, then pointed to the cakes on the table and said: "Don't go too far to play, take two cakes to share with your brother and sister."
After rubbing Gu Ruochen's head affectionately, Su Xiaomu saw his dark eyes staring at her brightly, and said with a sigh: "Why are you looking at me all the time? Do you want to help the third aunt with farm work?"
She does not have the bad habit of employing child labor. It is a bit pitiful that children as young as seven or eight years old go to the fields to serve the fields.
"I can help Third Aunt."
Gu Ruochen nodded hurriedly. He held Su Xiaomu's arm closely and shook it gently: "My brother, sister, and I can help third aunt."
"It's okay. Third Auntie doesn't need your help. As long as you take good care of yourselves and don't cause trouble for me."
Putting the cake in his hand, Su Xiaomu called him out, and then watered the planted pepper seedlings. After making sure that each plant was thoroughly watered, he took the cleaned peppers to make chili sauce.
After doing business for a few days, she also discovered that people in the city don't like to eat food that is too spicy, so it is best if the chili peppers have a little sweetness.
For businessmen, it is important to adapt to the market. She could just take this opportunity to improve the recipe of chili sauce. Maybe in the future her chili sauce can not only be used to spread pancakes, but can also be sold to restaurants.
While thinking about it, Su Xiaomu chopped chili peppers.
There were so many things on her mind that her chopping of peppers slowed down.
But before she could come up with a plan, she heard Gu Ruonan running into the yard in a hurry. She was worried and shouted to Su Xiaomu at the top of her voice: "Third Aunt! Go outside and take a look, Ruochen and Zhao
My sister’s brother got into a fight!”
"What's going on?"
Su Xiaomu quickly took off the apron around her waist. She quickly washed her hands and followed Gu Ruonan out anxiously.
Not long after Gu Ruochen left her place, he was happily taking cakes to share with Gu Ruonan and Gu Ruochuan. Why did he get into trouble with others just now?
Children are so ignorant that they still attack each other?
After following Gu Ruonan a few steps outside, she heard the sound of the twins arguing with someone else.
"You robbed our things first, and then my brother did it!"
Gu Ruochuan blocked Gu Ruochen behind him with a serious face. His round eyes widened, his mouth was pursed tightly, and his cute face was full of anger.
"It's obvious that you want to eat my cakes and I won't give them to you, so you beat me and try to rob me. My grandma said that you have to earn what you want, and you can't take it from others."
Although Gu Ruochen was protected by his brother from behind, he still straightened his body, puffed out his cheeks and pretended to be fierce: "You also ruined our cakes, you have to pay for it!"
"I won't pay for it!"
A little boy who looked to be about the same age as the twins snorted coldly. He put his hands on his hips with a look of disdain: "Obviously you brought the cakes out to eat on purpose. I just wanted you to give me a piece of cake and you refused. Now it's broken. Everyone."
There’s no need to eat any more!”
After listening to what they said, Su Xiaomu looked at the ground. The remaining half of the pastry was lying on the ground very miserably, as if it had been trampled to pieces. The filling inside was mixed with dough and wrapped into a lump, which made people feel uncomfortable.
No appetite.
Gu Ruonan looked at this situation anxiously. Seeing that Su Xiaomu had not stepped forward to speak for the twins for a long time, she anxiously tugged on Su Xiaomu's sleeve: "Third Aunt..."
