County magistrate Feng came here full of expectations and left satisfied, but Aunt Qiu, who had been sitting on the bench for a long time, was very lonely, but no matter how lonely she was, she also had her own gains.
When you go back to your natal family later, you must tell your parents, and you must pay special attention to this man named Du Qingchen, and you must not offend him!This person is not only Su Junxia's friend, but also has a younger brother who is the top student in the examination, and is also a disciple Liu Fuzi cares about very much. Now that he is County Magistrate Feng, he also means to treat him as his own junior. Such a person is no longer The Qiu family can be offended.
Aunt Qiu suppressed the bitterness in her heart, if her family had married her to Du Qingchen back then, how good would it be?They are about the same age, they are beautiful, and Du Qingchen is very handsome. Isn't it a match made in heaven?And Du Qingchen married her, wouldn't he be much better than that petty brother?Now, she can still help the family, maybe more useful than being the concubine of County Magistrate Feng!It's a pity, the daughter's family's fate is determined by her parents, and she can't help herself at all. Aunt Qiu sat on the carriage, slightly lowered her head, and looked at herself in pity.
County magistrate Feng didn't care about what the people around him were thinking, he just hummed a little tune cheerfully, full of friends he had just met, so let's post a post tomorrow and ask Brother Liu to come and talk about it!No no no!Brother Liu still has a private school to take care of, so it's better to wait until Xiumu's day.
In the restaurant, Mrs. Liu didn't say anything about Du Qingchen's failure to deliver food to him. He knew it as soon as he came, and he must have been delayed by Brother Feng. Naturally, he wouldn't be angry, but Du Qingchen explained it to him anyway. , and asked Xiao Er to go to the back kitchen to take the prepared food box to the private school. Master Liu declined a few words, and finally accepted it pretending to be helpless.
Du Qingchen suppressed a smile, took the food box himself, and sent Master Liu back to his private school.
"Oh, isn't this the owner of the restaurant?" A peddler was walking on the street, facing Du Qingchen who was returning, and said with a smile.
"You are?" Du Qingchen thought for a while, and quickly remembered, "It's the guest who talked to me because of the rice sac flower last time!" Strictly speaking, it was the guest who pissed him off.
"Exactly." The merchant smiled, "Boss has a good memory."
"It's only been a few days." Du Qingchen smiled, "Did you sell your goods?"
"That's right! I went to the provincial capital of Han County. The batch of cotton cloth I brought was sold and I was planning to go home. No, I happened to pass by here. I couldn't help but think of the last time the boss bravely caught drug dealers." Come here for a meal, don’t you feel at ease? We are a businessman who runs all over the world, afraid of thieves, bandits, officials, and black shops, the boss is here to make people feel at ease!"
"Your words are the greatest compliment to me, please." Du Qingchen smiled and waved his hands, inviting people into the store.
After he entered the shop and sat down, Du Qingchen asked him what he wanted to eat. Just as he was about to go to the back kitchen to prepare, he saw the merchant take out a small box from the package and open it, revealing the red powder inside.
Du Qingchen turned his head, looked at the box of chili powder, and couldn't help but said, "Is this stuff made from ground pepper?"
The merchant was surprised, "The boss knows it! Oh yes, I am from the south. We grow this in my hometown. I usually go out to do business, but I always think of this smell, so I asked my wife to grind these for me. Let me Take it with you, and put a little bit of it when you eat, and it can relieve your homesickness."
Du Qingchen asked Xiaoer to go to the back kitchen to order food, but he sat down instead, making the merchant very puzzled, Du Qingchen cupped his hands, "Du Qingchen, I want to ask you one thing, how many peppers are there in your hometown? Can it be dried and shipped over, I want to buy some."
"Boss Du wants this?" The merchant was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "This thing is nothing, but...to tell you the truth, I tried to sell it before, after all, compared to Beidi, this is a new item. However, I showed it to the owner of a restaurant, and they kicked me out after taking a sip, saying that I was teasing them! This thing can’t be eaten at all. Boss Du, why don’t you try it first and then talk about it?”
The merchant has sold hot peppers before, but he can’t tell whether it’s bad luck or something else. All he meets are people who can’t eat spicy food, and this stuff is extremely irritating. Drying it directly into a powder is no different from eating raw chili peppers directly. Every time, those restaurant owners would run down their noses with spicy snot, and he would return home every time. Later, he didn't think about this matter anymore. He thought that maybe the people in the Northland didn't like this taste.
Du Qingchen took the chopsticks with a smile, picked up a little and put it in his mouth. He had already prepared for it to grind the dried chili directly into powder, which must be full of spiciness.
Du Qingchen's face remained unchanged, "Fortunately, this is the thing, but I don't want powder, I just want dried pepper!"
The merchant was happy, "Since the boss really wants it, that's fine! I'll ship it to you, and the price will be [-] cents a catty? How about paying [-]% of the deposit first, after all, you're the only one who wants this thing. If you want it in the future Sorry, I have nothing to say!"
Du Qingchen shook his head, "Ten cents a catty, you and I took the identity papers and went to the government to sign the contract. No one will regret it. I will give you [-]% as a deposit." Thirty cents a catty, what a fool!Peppers are just the fruits of plants, and he has seen pictures of peppers in his previous life, and there are quite a lot of peppers. I am afraid that the yield is higher than that of ordinary grains. Even with the shipping cost, there is no reason why it is so expensive.
"Twenty coins! It's not just me talking nonsense, there aren't many households growing this thing, and I have to go door-to-door to buy it, which takes a lot of time and effort!"
"Let's do it!" Du Qingchen thought for a while, but no one knows how to grow a one-acre pepper. After all, this thing is not widely circulated in the market, and it is really troublesome to buy it.
"Okay! The boss is refreshing! Go to the government to sign the contract now?" The merchant clapped his hands together.
"Do you want to eat first?" Du Qingchen asked, didn't this person come to eat?
"Eat, eat! Go after eating, yes, yes! I'm still hungry, this is a business, I forget it when I'm happy! Hehe! By the way, next to Zhang Kang, Boss Du just needs to call me by my name. "
"Brother Zhang." Du Qingchen cupped his hands, "I don't know when Brother Zhang will arrive? We have to set a date!"
"One month! One month is a period. I will send you a batch first, and you can try it first. If it works, I will increase the intensity of the acquisition. If it doesn't work, hehe, it's just a one-shot deal." Zhang Kang planned to hurry up In and out quickly, to test the waters, is to prevent Du Qingchen from cheating him. If he doesn't want his batch of goods, he won't lose too much money.
Du Qingchen also had the same worry. This is the best way. Everyone will try a small amount first to see the situation. If it is good, they can naturally cooperate slowly.
……
Half a month later, Magistrate Feng asked a policeman to send a letter, saying that he had found a few shops for him and asked him to go and see if he was satisfied. A policeman came in, which made everyone a little nervous, fearing that they were about to arrest people. In the end, the policeman happily took out an envelope from his arms, handed it to Du Qingchen, and said that he was here to replace County Magistrate Feng. Messenger.
The eyes of everyone looking at Du Qingchen changed instantly, and Du Qingchen just pretended not to see it, opened the letter calmly, read it at a glance, and laughed, "It's really troublesome County Magistrate Feng, who is busy with my little matter. "
"Not busy, not busy, we usually have nothing to do." The policeman smiled and waved his hands, looking around, he had heard that the food in Du's restaurant was good, and he came here today for the purpose of delivering a letter, so he had to eat before leaving .
Du Qingchen noticed the eyes of the chubby policeman in front of him, and said with a smile: "This poor man has worked hard delivering the letter, why don't you stay and have a light meal before leaving. It's also my heart."
"It's easy to say, I heard that the Du's restaurant is good, and even County Magistrate Feng is full of praise. I wish you would open a restaurant in the county right away. Then I really tried it today! Hehe, you're welcome!" The catcher said with a smile.
Du Qingchen also laughed, "Of course you're welcome. In the future, I will go to the county town to open a restaurant, and I will have to rely on the messenger to take care of me."
"Don't dare! You are a person protected by County Magistrate Feng, who can do anything to you." The policeman smiled and found a seat to sit down by himself. Of course, he is not usually a free eater, but well!He was indeed helping to deliver the letter today, even if Du Qingchen had a meal, it wouldn't be too much!hey-hey……
On the next day, Du Qingchen took Su Dong to the county seat to see several shops selected by Feng County Magistrate for him, most of which were relatively close to the county government and relatively prosperous places. I went to ask for the address, and looked at the facilities in the store before returning to town with Su Dong.
"Which one do you like?" Du Qingchen asked Su Dong.
"Me? Just make up your own mind!" Su Dong scratched his head, how could he know this, and he doesn't know how to do business.
"Of course I want to ask you, this is our family buying property, aren't you also the boss?" Du Qingchen said as a matter of course: "Otherwise, why would I bring you here? Would you walk with me all day for nothing?"
Hearing this, Su Dong felt warm in his heart. He was well taken care of by Du Qingchen, so he was used to being rude. Seeing that Du Qingchen really asked him what he meant, he expressed his thoughts, "I like the place at Xijiekou. Now it’s a restaurant, much better than the other two silk and satin shops and snack shops, at least, we can save a lot of money and don’t have to renovate the store.”
save money!In Su Dong's eyes, it was the first priority.
Du Qingchen suppressed a smile and nodded, "Except for this?"
"Except for this...then I like dim sum shops. The door is bustling, so the business should be very good!"
"But the silk shop is the closest to the county government." Du Qingchen said with a smile.
"That's right! Since County Magistrate Feng wants you to open next to the county government office, if he chooses a silk shop, he will definitely come and go frequently in the future, and others will not dare to underestimate you!" Su Dong said, what should we do?Each has its own advantages!He didn't know how to choose.
"Then let's go to the restaurant at Xijiekou! Save money by renovating the store!" Du Qingchen said.
Moreover, there is a lot of space in the backyard. Although the location is a bit out of the way, he has takeaway, and the location is the least he cares about.Also, the ancients did not regard time as money like the modern people, even a few more steps, for most people, it doesn't matter, as long as they think it is really worth it.For example, now, how many people in the county or businessmen pass by, all drive long distances to go to the town to eat a meal of his family's food.
"But Magistrate Feng..." Su Dong was confused.
"He doesn't have time to come and go every day! And he goes and goes every day, I have to trouble! Besides, the location of the silk shop is too good, the price is also expensive, plus renovation, our money is not enough, so it is The one in the restaurant is very good, and I can save a lot of effort." Du Qingchen said.
"You don't like County Magistrate Feng?" Su Dong asked blankly, County Magistrate Feng is obviously a nice person!Master Liu said he was very good.
"I don't like it, it's just..." I don't want to hand in my homework every day!Du Qingchen silently covered his face. "It's just that our money is really not enough. Although the restaurants in the town are making money, the time is too short. We didn't have much money left before, so... there is no way!"
Su Dong thought for a while, and muttered, "I always feel that you don't think so, and you are lying again."
"Oh!" Du Qingchen stared in surprise, "Is my character not good? I don't often lie to people! Mrs. Liu praised me as Huaijin holding Yu, and my heart is cunning. Don't you believe Mrs. Liu's words?"
Su Dong gave Du Qingchen a blank look. He still felt that Du Qingchen was just talking nonsense, but he couldn't tell why.
After Du Qingchen settled down on the restaurant, he quickly paid the money to transfer the title deed to his own name. After half a month of busy work, he finally finished the matter of the new restaurant. Zhang Kang also came back with more than 100 yuan. The catty of chili successfully calmed down Du Qingchen.
"Didn't you say... you just plan to bring some over here and try it first?" Du Qingchen said in a daze. The 100 catties of peppers should be enough for him for a year!No!I'm afraid it won't last for two or three years!
Zhang Kang scratched his head, "I didn't think of that either! I originally thought about buying peppers in three or four days, so I hurried over to avoid problems. As a result, the people over there have never seen anyone buying peppers. I want to collect dried peppers, and my relatives passed it on to my relatives, and the word spread all over the place, and everyone packed up the stocks at home and sold them to me, and I couldn’t accept it.”
"Didn't you say that the people in your place grow peppers for themselves? Why don't you save some for yourself, aren't you afraid you won't be able to eat them?" Du Qingchen said with difficulty.
"To tell you the truth, peppers have been fruiting all the time. Our place is warm. There are four seasons of the year. There are peppers in almost three seasons. Although the weather is cold recently, the peppers are not very fruitful, but it can still be produced. If you don’t have a few, just go to a relative’s house to get it, anyway, I can’t collect it all, so it’s serious to sell it for money first.”
"Do you feel that... twenty cents a catty, you cheated me?"
"Is there? No!" Zhang Kang looked innocent, "I didn't know that I would charge so much! I really didn't expect it. Really, Boss Du, no one on our side has ever charged this. Of course ...This time my business is indeed easier to do, but the contract has been finalized, and it is still on record with the government, Boss Du, this..."
"I know." Du Qingchen nodded, "I don't intend to go back on my word, I just want to say that in the last year, I shouldn't have to ship a second batch of peppers."
Zhang Kang chuckled. "Understood, for those of us who can eat spicy food, so many peppers are enough to feed him for several lifetimes."
Du Qingchen: ...
You still know!
Du Qingchen had just bought the restaurant, so he didn't have much silver left in his pocket, but ended up spending more than two liang of silver to pay for the pepper.
Zhang Kang naturally took it happily, and said: "I am familiar with this line on weekdays. I transport things from my hometown to the provincial capital of Han County, and I pass by here every time. Boss Du, if you have anything else?" If you need it, remember to tell me! You are righteous! So many peppers, just because you signed the contract, you swallowed them all faithfully, and you didn’t even pay me back the price! Do business! Hehe..."
Although Du Qingchen was a little surprised at first, he was very happy when he finally got the chili pepper, and he didn't care about Zhang Kang's embarrassment, and said, "Don't worry, if there is anything in the future, let's cooperate again. Pepper."
If they still can't grow peppers next year.
"Success!" Zhang Kang didn't really believe it. There were so many peppers that Du Qingchen could sell for several years, so there was no need to count on it. Just pretend that Du Qingchen was being polite.
Zhang Kang also brought other goods this time, so he didn't stay here any longer, and went straight to the provincial capital of Han County, while Du Qingchen took the pepper and went back to study chili oil.
People in the North are indeed not used to eating raw chili peppers. There are only a few people like Tao Xiude who are naturally addicted to spicy food. Even Du Qingchen himself does not like eating raw chili peppers directly, even dried chili peppers.
The real usage of chili is not to make chili oil? !It's chili powder, shouldn't it be fried first? !After eating Zhang Kang's chili powder last time, he realized that the people in Zhang Kang's hometown didn't seem to have the awareness of overheating the chili, but directly ground the dried chili into powder without adding any other spices Salt, too much spicy stamina!Naturally not likable.
That night, after the other staff had left, Du Qingchen began to fry the chili. First, he cut the dried chili into small pieces, and then he fried the dried chili with spices such as prickly ash and cinnamon until it was crispy. It was choking, and I almost couldn't hold it anymore and ran out, with runny nose and coughing.
"What's the matter?" Su Dong knew that Du Qingchen was studying some new dishes again, so he didn't bother him, but he heard Du Qingchen coughing desperately in the kitchen, so he couldn't help but come over to take a look, but when he came in, he was choked Tears flowed from the spicy taste, but this taste is really delicious!It's just too choking!
"Brother Dong, you go out first! Cough cough, it will be fine soon." Du Qingchen opened the window with difficulty, but there is no exhaust fan, and the window alone cannot remove the spicy smell from the house, no!If you fry chili, even if you have an exhaust fan, it is useless!
Du Qingchen finally cooked the first pot. After putting out the firewood, he ran out and bent over and coughed together with Su Dong in the yard. He didn't recover for a long time. Su Dong was the first one to do it. Du Qingchen washed his face.
"What are you doing?" Su Dong asked curiously, the smell was too strong.
"You'll find out later, by the way, how do you eat chili?" Du Qingchen was concerned about Su Dong's allergies again, and he felt that Su Dong had never eaten chili.
"I don't know, I haven't eaten it." Su Dong shook his head.
Du Qingchen thought for a while, "When the medical center opens tomorrow, you can taste a little and see if there is any reaction." You can't be afraid of allergies, and don't eat chili for the rest of your life. How boring those days are, you have to try it, whether chili is an allergen one of.
"Okay." Su Dong nodded.
Du Qingchen then entered the kitchen, took out the chilled chilli peppers from the pot, and after he came out, he took two clean stones that he had prepared before, sandwiched the peppers in between, ground them and dropped them into the basin below, Su Dong saw it and also went up to help.
Soon, the chili powder was freshly baked. Du Qingchen put some salt and other seasonings in it, picked some with chopsticks, and nodded silently, "Not bad! It's very fragrant."
"I'll taste it, I'll taste it!" Su Dong said curiously, the pungent smell of the chili had dissipated at this moment, leaving only a faint fragrance, Su Dong couldn't help drooling.
"Here you are." Du Qingchen handed over the chopsticks subconsciously.
Su Dong grabbed the chopsticks in one mouthful, licked the tip of his tongue, and snatched away the chili powder on it. He squinted his eyes and tasted it for a while, then nodded quickly, "It's delicious! It's a little bit spicy, but it's more fragrant! It's spicy. It's delicious!"
"Yeah!" It's much more delicious than Zhang Kang's family made!Du Qingchen was also very happy, but the next moment, Du Qingchen was stunned, "You just..." ate it!
Du Qingchen immediately put down his chopsticks, "Is there any discomfort? Do you feel like your throat is swollen?! Are you stupid? Didn't I tell you just now that the medical center will open tomorrow, try it again, in case you follow up with the last time Same, I don’t know how long it will take to call the doctor! You must suffer!”
Su Dong was yelled at by Du Qingchen and blinked, "But I think... I'm okay!" Nothing happened.
Du Qingchen stared at Su Dong worriedly in the middle of the night, and seeing that he didn't react, he felt relieved. Just now, he was really careless. When he usually cooks, Su Dong eats by the side, and he is also used to it. Yes, I handed it to him just now...
It's okay!Du Qingchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned off the light and fell asleep with Su Dong in his arms.
When you go back to your natal family later, you must tell your parents, and you must pay special attention to this man named Du Qingchen, and you must not offend him!This person is not only Su Junxia's friend, but also has a younger brother who is the top student in the examination, and is also a disciple Liu Fuzi cares about very much. Now that he is County Magistrate Feng, he also means to treat him as his own junior. Such a person is no longer The Qiu family can be offended.
Aunt Qiu suppressed the bitterness in her heart, if her family had married her to Du Qingchen back then, how good would it be?They are about the same age, they are beautiful, and Du Qingchen is very handsome. Isn't it a match made in heaven?And Du Qingchen married her, wouldn't he be much better than that petty brother?Now, she can still help the family, maybe more useful than being the concubine of County Magistrate Feng!It's a pity, the daughter's family's fate is determined by her parents, and she can't help herself at all. Aunt Qiu sat on the carriage, slightly lowered her head, and looked at herself in pity.
County magistrate Feng didn't care about what the people around him were thinking, he just hummed a little tune cheerfully, full of friends he had just met, so let's post a post tomorrow and ask Brother Liu to come and talk about it!No no no!Brother Liu still has a private school to take care of, so it's better to wait until Xiumu's day.

Since County Magistrate Feng wants you to open next to the county government office, if he chooses a silk shop, he will definitely come and go frequently in the future, and others will not dare to underestimate you!" Su Dong said, what should we do?Each has its own advantages!He didn't know how to choose.
"Then let's go to the restaurant at Xijiekou! Save money by renovating the store!" Du Qingchen said.
Moreover, there is a lot of space in the backyard. Although the location is a bit out of the way, he has takeaway, and the location is the least he cares about.Also, the ancients did not regard time as money like the modern people, even a few more steps, for most people, it doesn't matter, as long as they think it is really worth it.For example, now, how many people in the county or businessmen pass by, all drive long distances to go to the town to eat a meal of his family's food.
"But Magistrate Feng..." Su Dong was confused.
"He doesn't have time to come and go every day! And he goes and goes every day, I have to trouble! Besides, the location of the silk shop is too good, the price is also expensive, plus renovation, our money is not enough, so it is The one in the restaurant is very good, and I can save a lot of effort." Du Qingchen said.
"You don't like County Magistrate Feng?" Su Dong asked blankly, County Magistrate Feng is obviously a nice person!Master Liu said he was very good.
"I don't like it, it's just..." I don't want to hand in my homework every day!Du Qingchen silently covered his face. "It's just that our money is really not enough. Although the restaurants in the town are making money, the time is too short. We didn't have much money left before, so... there is no way!"
Su Dong thought for a while, and muttered, "I always feel that you don't think so, and you are lying again."
"Oh!" Du Qingchen stared in surprise, "Is my character not good? I don't often lie to people! Mrs. Liu praised me as Huaijin holding Yu, and my heart is cunning. Don't you believe Mrs. Liu's words?"
Su Dong gave Du Qingchen a blank look. He still felt that Du Qingchen was just talking nonsense, but he couldn't tell why.
After Du Qingchen settled down on the restaurant, he quickly paid the money to transfer the title deed to his own name. After half a month of busy work, he finally finished the matter of the new restaurant. Zhang Kang also came back with more than 100 yuan. The catty of chili successfully calmed down Du Qingchen.
"Didn't you say... you just plan to bring some over here and try it first?" Du Qingchen said in a daze. The 100 catties of peppers should be enough for him for a year!No!I'm afraid it won't last for two or three years!
Zhang Kang scratched his head, "I didn't think of that either! I originally thought about buying peppers in three or four days, so I hurried over to avoid problems. As a result, the people over there have never seen anyone buying peppers. I want to collect dried peppers, and my relatives passed it on to my relatives, and the word spread all over the place, and everyone packed up the stocks at home and sold them to me, and I couldn’t accept it.”
"Didn't you say that the people in your place grow peppers for themselves? Why don't you save some for yourself, aren't you afraid you won't be able to eat them?" Du Qingchen said with difficulty.
"To tell you the truth, peppers have been fruiting all the time. Our place is warm. There are four seasons of the year. There are peppers in almost three seasons. Although the weather is cold recently, the peppers are not very fruitful, but it can still be produced. If you don’t have a few, just go to a relative’s house to get it, anyway, I can’t collect it all, so it’s serious to sell it for money first.”
"Do you feel that... twenty cents a catty, you cheated me?"
"Is there? No!" Zhang Kang looked innocent, "I didn't know that I would charge so much! I really didn't expect it. Really, Boss Du, no one on our side has ever charged this. Of course ...This time my business is indeed easier to do, but the contract has been finalized, and it is still on record with the government, Boss Du, this..."
"I know." Du Qingchen nodded, "I don't intend to go back on my word, I just want to say that in the last year, I shouldn't have to ship a second batch of peppers."
Zhang Kang chuckled. "Understood, for those of us who can eat spicy food, so many peppers are enough to feed him for several lifetimes."
Du Qingchen: ...
You still know!
Du Qingchen had just bought the restaurant, so he didn't have much silver left in his pocket, but ended up spending more than two liang of silver to pay for the pepper.
Zhang Kang naturally took it happily, and said: "I am familiar with this line on weekdays. I transport things from my hometown to the provincial capital of Han County, and I pass by here every time. Boss Du, if you have anything else?" If you need it, remember to tell me! You are righteous! So many peppers, just because you signed the contract, you swallowed them all faithfully, and you didn’t even pay me back the price! Do business! Hehe..."
Although Du Qingchen was a little surprised at first, he was very happy when he finally got the chili pepper, and he didn't care about Zhang Kang's embarrassment, and said, "Don't worry, if there is anything in the future, let's cooperate again. Pepper."
If they still can't grow peppers next year.
"Success!" Zhang Kang didn't really believe it. There were so many peppers that Du Qingchen could sell for several years, so there was no need to count on it. Just pretend that Du Qingchen was being polite.
Zhang Kang also brought other goods this time, so he didn't stay here any longer, and went straight to the provincial capital of Han County, while Du Qingchen took the pepper and went back to study chili oil.
People in the North are indeed not used to eating raw chili peppers. There are only a few people like Tao Xiude who are naturally addicted to spicy food. Even Du Qingchen himself does not like eating raw chili peppers directly, even dried chili peppers.
The real usage of chili is not to make chili oil? !It's chili powder, shouldn't it be fried first? !After eating Zhang Kang's chili powder last time, he realized that the people in Zhang Kang's hometown didn't seem to have the awareness of overheating the chili, but directly ground the dried chili into powder without adding any other spices Salt, too much spicy stamina!Naturally not likable.
That night, after the other staff had left, Du Qingchen began to fry the chili. First, he cut the dried chili into small pieces, and then he fried the dried chili with spices such as prickly ash and cinnamon until it was crispy. It was choking, and I almost couldn't hold it anymore and ran out, with runny nose and coughing.
"What's the matter?" Su Dong knew that Du Qingchen was studying some new dishes again, so he didn't bother him, but he heard Du Qingchen coughing desperately in the kitchen, so he couldn't help but come over to take a look, but when he came in, he was choked Tears flowed from the spicy taste, but this taste is really delicious!It's just too choking!
"Brother Dong, you go out first! Cough cough, it will be fine soon." Du Qingchen opened the window with difficulty, but there is no exhaust fan, and the window alone cannot remove the spicy smell from the house, no!If you fry chili, even if you have an exhaust fan, it is useless!
Du Qingchen finally cooked the first pot. After putting out the firewood, he ran out and bent over and coughed together with Su Dong in the yard. He didn't recover for a long time. Su Dong was the first one to do it. Du Qingchen washed his face.
"What are you doing?" Su Dong asked curiously, the smell was too strong.
"You'll find out later, by the way, how do you eat chili?" Du Qingchen was concerned about Su Dong's allergies again, and he felt that Su Dong had never eaten chili.
"I don't know, I haven't eaten it." Su Dong shook his head.
Du Qingchen thought for a while, "When the medical center opens tomorrow, you can taste a little and see if there is any reaction." You can't be afraid of allergies, and don't eat chili for the rest of your life. How boring those days are, you have to try it, whether chili is an allergen one of.
"Okay." Su Dong nodded.
Du Qingchen then entered the kitchen, took out the chilled chilli peppers from the pot, and after he came out, he took two clean stones that he had prepared before, sandwiched the peppers in between, ground them and dropped them into the basin below, Su Dong saw it and also went up to help.
Soon, the chili powder was freshly baked. Du Qingchen put some salt and other seasonings in it, picked some with chopsticks, and nodded silently, "Not bad! It's very fragrant."
"I'll taste it, I'll taste it!" Su Dong said curiously, the pungent smell of the chili had dissipated at this moment, leaving only a faint fragrance, Su Dong couldn't help drooling.
"Here you are." Du Qingchen handed over the chopsticks subconsciously.
Su Dong grabbed the chopsticks in one mouthful, licked the tip of his tongue, and snatched away the chili powder on it. He squinted his eyes and tasted it for a while, then nodded quickly, "It's delicious! It's a little bit spicy, but it's more fragrant! It's spicy. It's delicious!"
"Yeah!" It's much more delicious than Zhang Kang's family made!Du Qingchen was also very happy, but the next moment, Du Qingchen was stunned, "You just..." ate it!
Du Qingchen immediately put down his chopsticks, "Is there any discomfort? Do you feel like your throat is swollen?! Are you stupid? Didn't I tell you just now that the medical center will open tomorrow, try it again, in case you follow up with the last time Same, I don’t know how long it will take to call the doctor! You must suffer!”
Su Dong was yelled at by Du Qingchen and blinked, "But I think... I'm okay!" Nothing happened.
Du Qingchen stared at Su Dong worriedly in the middle of the night, and seeing that he didn't react, he felt relieved. Just now, he was really careless. When he usually cooks, Su Dong eats by the side, and he is also used to it. Yes, I handed it to him just now...
It's okay!Du Qingchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned off the light and fell asleep with Su Dong in his arms.
