Busy from noon to afternoon, Su Ziling made mushroom sauce after finishing the hanging melon.

There was no fresh meat at home, so she had to cook it without meat. She thought about buying meat another day, bringing it back and frying it, then pouring out the mushrooms and mixing them well.

The kitchen was filled with the strong aroma of mushrooms. After Su Ziling put all the seasonings together, she asked Su's mother to come over and take over. Su's mother had also experienced fungus sauce before, but now she could make it with ease.

She turned the pot while paying attention to the fire, and asked Su Ziling, who was washing Yunnan olives by the well, "Is anyone really buying these olives?"

Mother Su thought that she had just tasted it, and her face was so sour that she wrinkled up. Now she shuddered when she thought of the taste.

"I'll mix a bowl for you later and you'll know." Su Ziling smiled mysteriously. She came back too late yesterday, so she didn't get it out to eat.

The time is right now, everyone is at home.

She poured the olives into the basin and poured water into them. The leaves and weeds floated automatically.

After washing it, put it in a bowl to drain the water. She picked a large bowl, flattened it with a grinding stone, added salt, Sichuan peppercorns, paprika, and a little sugar, stirred evenly, and marinated it for a cup of tea. have eaten.

After pickling, the salt and pepper will suppress the sourness of the olives, making them taste sour and spicy, and your mouth will be filled with sweetness after eating.

"Auntie, try this."

Mother Su looked at the bowl of olives and shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, it's so sour. I can't eat this. It's so sour that my teeth are numb."

Mother Su said no, but she kept swallowing.

Su Ziling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She ate one bite at a time, eating it happily, "Mom, try it. This is different from what you eat raw."

Seeing that she was eating happily and not looking very sour, Mother Su hesitated for a moment and then stretched out her hand, "Then let me try one."

She picked a small one, hesitated for a moment, closed her eyes, and threw it into her mouth, "Huh?"

She opened her eyes and continued chewing, spitting out the core before taking another one.

Su Ziling laughed happily, "How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

She nodded, "It doesn't seem that sour. This tastes quite delicious, but it's not enough just like this, right?"

"Of course." Su Ziling nodded, pointing to the licorice, sugar and salt prepared aside and said, "This will definitely not work if you sell it. It needs to be processed."

"Aniang, do you still want to eat? I'll give it to Ainai and the others to try."

Mother Su took two more pills and said, "Okay, I have enough. You can give them to them."

Su Ziling held the bowl and shared it with everyone. Su Ah took a few more pills, and Mr. Su and Father Su tasted two pills each. They seemed to not like sour food.

Su Zizhong also came back, frying camellia seeds. The temperature on the stove was so high that he was sweating profusely, so he ate a few more seeds.

"I left it outside the door. If you want to eat, you can take it yourself." Su Ziling took a stool and put the bowl outside the door. She was going to pickle the olives.

The freshly washed olives were left to dry in the sun. The water had drained out, but there was still some moisture on the surface. She shook it gently and placed the basket in a sunny place, guessing that when the water boiled, the moisture on the olives would also dry out. Done.

Fill a pot of water into the kettle, add licorice into it, let the water boil for a while, put the olives in the jar, add salt and sugar, and then pour the licorice water in while it's hot.

The water only needs to cover the olives. The olives that touch the hot water will soon start to turn white. They are sealed with water and can be eaten in half a month.

"Is that enough? It feels like my salt-pickled pepper. And, why does it look like it's been cooked?"

After this process, Mother Su was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that the olives could be soaked like this.

"It's not cooked. If the water is too hot, it will be cooked. And after a long time, it will become soft and inedible. The water I used is not that hot, it just changes color."

Mother Su nodded half-understood, "If you're afraid of burning it, why don't you use cold water?"

"You can also boil it with cold boiled water, but hot water will cook it faster. If you soak it in this way, you can eat it in half a month. It is about 30% sour and 70% sweet. You can eat it directly, or mix it with peppers, licorice olives, etc. It also has the effect of moistening the lungs and resolving phlegm.”

Su Ziling picked up the jar and carefully placed it in the corner. She also reminded her mother not to touch it, especially not to touch it with oil. This thing is very delicate. If it touches oil or water, it will become shiny and the olives will rot. .

As soon as she finished it, Su Zizhong came to call her, "Ah Qing, the oil is coming out."

"Hey, here we come!"

Since I had deep-fried lacquer seeds earlier, the fried tea oil fruit was similar to lacquer seeds, so Su Ziling didn't pay much attention to them when she saw how they were doing it.

Now she was quite curious when she heard that oil was coming out.

When she heard the oil was coming out, Mother Su added some firewood to the stove, turned over the pot, and ran to take a look.

This is oil. If it produces a lot of oil, then their family will have enough oil for the first half of next year.

Half of the oil squeezed out earlier is used to stir-fry the hot pot base, and the other half is reserved for stewing hot dishes. For cooking, lard is used. This lard is not eaten, so buying three to five kilograms of it is enough for one meal. Twenty days and a half.

If there was really a lot of tea oil, then their family would no longer have to buy lard.

When the mother and daughter arrived, the golden tea oil had slowly flowed out. Su's mother was beating it, and Mr. Su stood aside. When Su's father got tired, he would switch to Su Zizhong, and they took turns beating back and forth.

Even Lu Yan was there. Looking at the half basin of crystal clear tea oil in the basin, his eyes were a little straight.
