Then, Qiao Lian'er assigned Ah Da and the others.
"This kind of chili is called millet chili. Take it and wash it, then chop it up on the cutting board."
“We’ll stir-fry these dried chilies in a pan. After they’re done, let them cool for a while until they can be easily broken in half. Then you can put them in a mortar and pestle and grind them into a fine powder.”
Without further ado, let's divide the work and get to work.
When stir-frying dried chilies, the heat doesn't need to be too high. Put the chilies in a dry pan, and once they start to char, she scoops them into a large bowl.
Ah Da pounded dried chilies, Ah Er chopped small red chilies, and Ah San washed a basin of ginger, which also needed to be chopped.
The courtyard was filled with the aroma of spiciness.
Ah Da and the others coughed from the choking, their eyes stinging and watering, their eyes all red and swollen.
Qiao Lian'er searched through the space warehouse and found a few masks, which were used to protect against dust when working. She had them wear them, which finally reduced the reaction.
The Indian man touched his mask, a little curious, but didn't ask, and continued working with his head down.
A bag of dried chilies was pounded into a large basin of chili powder.
Qiao Lian'er washed the pot, poured a large jar of rapeseed oil into it, and waited for the oil to heat up before adding a large amount of scallions, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, Sichuan peppercorns, etc. The pot quickly became fragrant.
Once these ingredients are fried until dry, remove them all from the oil, and a pot of sesame oil is ready.
Ah Da and the others also chopped up the bag of millet peppers. Actually, there weren't that many peppers; each of them filled a bag with thirty pounds of them.
Qiao Lian'er first poured a bowl of minced ginger and garlic into a large pot, stirred it with a spatula, and drained the water. Then she poured in minced millet peppers and drained the water in the same way. Next, she added light soy sauce, salt, sugar, soybean paste, sesame seeds, dried chili flakes, and thirteen-spice powder. She stirred it slowly, and the pot bubbled and steamed, the aroma and spiciness filling the yard.
Qiao Lian'er turned off the small fire in the stove, and the chili sauce was ready.
The aroma made the children's mouths water.
This is the southern part of a humid and hot region, and people in places with this kind of climate tend to enjoy spicy food.
Even though people in ancient times only had access to spicy food like Sichuan peppercorns, mustard, and ginger, which wasn't very satisfying, this kind of direct spiciness brought out some kind of potential in their bodies.
"Sister Lian'er, can I ask now? What are we making?" Ah San stared longingly at the pot.
Qiao Lian'er smiled and said, "This is called chili sauce. Let's make it and sell it."
Seeing that chili peppers can be made into such delicious chili sauce, people will come to her to buy chili peppers wholesale, thus providing a market for the chili peppers in her space.
Qiao Lian'er first packed a small jar: "This is for you to make rice porridge."
"Wow, that's great, thank you Sister Lian'er."
Ah Da and the others tried it, and their faces lit up with joy. It was so delicious, they couldn't imagine how good it would be with rice.
As for the chili sauce in the pot, Qiao Lian'er scooped it into a large wooden basin. There were only a few jars and pots available; they didn't provide these, otherwise the cost would be too high.
"Let's pack up and go sell chili sauce at the stall."
"Let's go sell chili sauce! I hope it sells well!" The children were happy and excited, after all, it was the result of their hard work together.
On the other side, Song Ruier had worked hard and finally managed to escape the supervision of Ah Si and Ah Wu.
He had already seen Qiao Lian'er drive away in the carriage, and he guessed that Qiao Lian'er was going to buy goods again.
But Ah Si and Ah Wu followed him, attacking him from all sides and occasionally causing trouble, leaving him nowhere to go.
