Chapter 191 My mouth is so spicy, I want a kiss (please subscribe, please vote)
After Jiang Caier came back, she was very diligent and helped with various chores at home. After all, she was now a second-level transcendent, with extraordinary skills. Although she was not known for her strength and martial arts, she was not comparable to ordinary people.
Her mother chased her away: "We don't want you to do this, we don't want you to do this, go take a rest and do your homework. If you don't understand something, go ask your brother Li Xiang."
This is the precious daughter of the family. She has excellent grades. The teacher called and said that she can be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. Aunt Jiang dared not delay her daughter's study. Moreover, look at her daughter's hands, which are as delicate as green onions. If she works rough, it will be a big loss! Jiang Jianguo also thinks so. His daughter will definitely cross the class in the future.
Jiang Caier had no choice but to go back to her room to read and do homework.
Doing homework is boring, just like a college student doing primary school students' homework. What's the difficulty in it?
But when reading extracurricular books, the pace is a bit too slow.
She is now like a supercomputer, with excellent hardware configuration and a huge storage space like the "memory palace", but input requires a keyboard or scanner.
There is no USB port and no way to connect to the Internet.
There are so many books in the world. How long would it take to finish reading them all? So Jiang Caier was anxious and thirsty for knowledge.
She took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued to think about the "technical issues" of how to use "quantum computers" to connect human computers.
After lunch in the afternoon, I went to find Li Xiang with my schoolbag on my back.
When they arrived at Li Xiang's house, Li Xiang's cousin Shen Wenqian and cousin Shen Zimo were also there.
"Sister Caier, you have become more beautiful again!" Shen Wenqian was very happy to see Jiang Caier and rushed over to give her a hug.
"Haha!" Jiang Caier picked up Shen Wenqian and turned around.
"Ah~, Sister Cai'er, you are so strong!" Shen Wenqian was surprised, because she had gained a lot of weight in the past six months. After all, she was only in the first year of high school, so studying was not that hard. She had to start working hard in the second semester of her second year of high school.
Jiang Caier thought to herself, your cousin is really strong. He can throw me into the sky.
Li Xiang moved out a few old tables and chairs, and the three of them did their homework under the corridor in the backyard, and then laid out various snacks and teas.
There was also a plate of fresh peaches on the fruit plate, which were picked from the peach tree in the backyard that morning.
The cousin came over and saw the juicy peaches. They said they wanted to eat some, so Li Xiang naturally arranged for them to eat. Although this peach tree had "extraordinary potential", the end of the world had not yet arrived and no mysterious particles had emerged on the earth, so it had not mutated yet and the fruits it produced were just ordinary fruits.
But even so, due to the good variety, the peaches grew big and beautiful, and some of them had cracked skins, looking pink and tender, which was very tempting.
After picking them, Li Xiang also tasted one. It was very crisp and refreshing, sweet, and had a strong peach fragrance.
I have to say this peach tree is very strong. It was not killed by lightning. After being transplanted, many branches and leaves were cut off, but it still sprouted many new branches and produced 19 fruits. It has a strong vitality.
Li Xiang picked eight of the largest and reddest ones, because the rest were obviously unripe.
"Would you like some milk tea? I'll ask someone to bring three cups over!" Li Xiang asked.
"Okay." Shen Wenqian said happily.
Then Li Xiang took out his mobile phone and shared the picture of the "menu" of the milk tea shop with them. The three of them ordered a cup each. Li Xiang called, and about ten minutes later, a girl brought over three cups of milk tea.
After doing homework for a while, Shen Zimo said he wanted to go see the giant pandas, so Shen Wenqian had to accompany her brother, and then also took Jiang Caier to go along.
Jiang Caier originally wanted to secretly have an intimate moment with Li Xiang, but she couldn't refuse his kindness, so she had to go with him. She thought to herself that it would be better to sneak out for a date in the middle of the night.
The two of them were rarely together, and Jiang Caier naturally wanted to spend time alone with Li Xiang. Who could have expected that Li Xiang's cousins ​​would come over as soon as they had a holiday? When they came back, Li Xiang was just about to prepare spicy noodles.
He wanted to train his strength to be precise, so he went to the street and bought a lot of tofu to carve patterns on. He also bought dried bean curd skin, beef tendon noodles and other main ingredients for the spicy strips. As for seasonings, such as dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, fennel and the like, he already had them at home and didn't need to buy any more for the time being.
The three of them came over to help.
After all, how can young people not love spicy strips?
Shen Zimo was drooling: "I always want to eat it, but my grandfather won't let me."
Shen Wenqian said, "That's because the ones you buy are unhealthy. My cousin made them himself, so they are clean and hygienic. I'm in for a treat today."
In fact, spicy strips are made of soy products and spices such as peppers. The reason why people say that they are unhealthy outside is because they don’t know what additives they put in. But at home, we have control over all the ingredients and know them clearly.
Jiang Caier and her two children did some simple processing on the raw materials. The long tofu skin they bought was relatively wide, so they first cut it into small pieces with scissors, and then cut it open, one piece at a time. The beef tendon noodles were also cut into suitable lengths and then cleaned.
Li Xiang went to fry the spices.
Freshly picked shallots, coriander, and onions from the vegetable garden are washed and slightly cut. The onions are cut into shreds, and the shallots and coriander are cut in the middle. The rapeseed oil that has been squeezed using the traditional method is poured into an iron pan and heated. Then the shallots, coriander, onions, etc. are poured in, and other spices are added in appropriate amounts, such as bay leaves, star anise, fennel, and peppercorns.
The aroma is so fragrant after frying.
When the onions are fried until they are a little browned, take out the spice residue. On the side, a bowl of chili powder has been prepared. It contains coarse dry red chili powder and fine chili powder, as well as pepper powder, cumin powder, white sesame seeds, appropriate amounts of salt and sugar. Scoop up the boiling sesame oil with a spoon and pour it on.
Pour a few spoonfuls first, stir well and then pour the rest.
Because he used a rural wood stove, it was not convenient to lift the iron pot. However, the fire in the stove was continuous and the oil was always boiling hot.
It is worth mentioning that chili powder, pepper powder, cumin powder and the like are not ground by machines. Although there is a small grinder at home, which is very small and plugged in, who is Li Xiang?
He just rubs his hands lightly and the spices turn into powder, which is also a way to train strength control. For example, the chili he rubs turns into coarse powder and fine powder, and the particle size is uniform.
By practicing rubbing chili powder, Li Xiang felt that his control over strength had become more "fine".
Cultivation is everywhere. As long as you have the heart, life is full of practice.
Moreover, through these unique forms (making spicy noodles, carving tofu, turning the soil, weeding, chopping wood, etc.), one can not only practice, but also cultivate the mind, calm down, and become less impetuous.
If you are not impatient, your practice efficiency will be higher. The state of being anxious and impatient is called "haste makes waste".
By the time Li Xiang finished all this, Jiang Caier and the others had also prepared the tofu skin and beef tendon noodles. After washing and soaking them, they took them out to drain the water, brushed them with some rapeseed oil, and steamed them in a steamer.
The purpose of applying oil is to prevent them from sticking together.
Steam over high heat for three to five minutes, until there is no hard core in the beef tendon noodles. Take out and let cool, then mix with the chili sesame oil, and the fragrant spicy strips are ready.
The bowl was full and everyone couldn't wait to start tasting it.
"Wow, so fragrant, so spicy, so satisfying!"
"Brother, did you put too much chili? It's so spicy that my mouth hurts."
"Haha, it's my first time making this, I have no experience, I'll put less next time."
Shen Zimo ate while saying, "It wouldn't be satisfying if it wasn't spicy."
Shen Wen Qian rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're just being stubborn. I'll go get some water." So Shen Wen Qian ran off and went to the table where she had done her homework before to drink tea. It was too spicy.
After a while, Shen Zimo couldn't bear it anymore and ran out to find water to drink.
In the kitchen, only Li Xiang and Jiang Caier were left. They were both extraordinary people and could tolerate spicy food better.
"Isn't this too spicy? Did you buy this pepper or grow it yourself?" Jiang Caier stuck out her tongue.
Li Xiang said: "I grew it myself. It is indeed spicier than other peppers, and I really put too much in it."
Even the authentic Sichuan people say it is spicy, so this pepper is really spicy.
"Brother, my mouth is so spicy. I want a kiss." Seeing that there was no one in the kitchen, Jiang Caier came over quietly.
Li Xiang took a light taste and thought, after having eaten the super spicy strips, making this was indeed an extraordinary experience with rich layers of texture.
The two of them were enjoying it very much, but unfortunately, the two little light bulbs outside seemed to come back soon, and the two of them hurriedly separated.
"Brother, why are your faces so red?" Shen Zimo asked.
Li Xiang said: "It's spicy!"
Jiang Caier's face turned even redder, and she quickly fanned herself with her hands, saying, "It's so spicy, so spicy."
Shen Zimo laughed and said, "Who told you not to drink water? You must show off!"
Shen Wen Qian was older after all, and she felt something was wrong. This red didn't seem like the red from spicy food, so she looked at Jiang Cai'er and Li Xiang in surprise.
Jiang Caier felt a little guilty, and hurried out, saying, "I'm going to drink some water too. I can't stand it anymore."
There were so many spicy strips that no one could finish them, so Li Xiang took some to share with his grandmother.
"It looks good, you can eat it yourself." Li Xiang's grandmother waved her hand, not liking it. So Li Xiang packed it in a plastic bag and took it to the Chinese style teahouse, pub, and coffee shop to give it to Zhao Xueqing, Yao Yao, Lei Xiaohui, and other girls to taste.
After the peak of its popularity, coupled with the continuous rainy weather, the business in the store is now just average. When it's good, the turnover can be over 30,000, and when it's bad, it's only 3,000 to 5,000. There was one day when it rained heavily and the turnover was zero.
But these are all offline. There are many more online. They broadcast live every day and do not rest on weekends. The worst day saw sales of 150,000.
It would be even more shocking if Li Xiang was involved.
When Li Xiang was live streaming, he also mentioned to his fans that he was preparing to enter the jade industry, and he also took out some bracelets, ring faces, necklaces, pendants, etc. for display.
There were several pairs of bracelets that were given to him by Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou before, and more of them were finished products that were directly looted from the Royal Jewelry Center of Myanmar and Thailand, all of which were top-quality.
Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui served as models, wearing them on their wrists, necks and fingers, and showing them off in person. It must be said that they were quite attractive.
Of course, Li Xiang also has price advantages since his costs are low.
In addition, there are still a large number of sheets and raw stones that need to be processed.
Li Xiang called Xu Xuan and He Zhixiang separately to discuss the cooperation. Both of them said that there was no problem and they were quite interested. Li Xiang asked He Zhixiang to help rent a warehouse in the suburbs of a border city in Yunnan Province, not too far from Myanmar.
Then the processing plant will also be set up in a nearby city. When he buys the raw stones, he will store them in that warehouse. When the processing plant needs raw materials, it can directly go to the warehouse to get them.
As for the direct-operated stores, they will naturally be opened in some large cities in Yunnan Province and Sichuan Province. Two stores will be opened in the two provincial capitals first to try it out, and Li Xiang’s online live broadcast room will also sell goods simultaneously.
Li Xiang is responsible for providing raw materials, He Zhixiang and Xu Xuan are responsible for processing and offline sales in their respective provinces.
The two jadeite companies that were established separately finally agreed to an 80:20 split in shares. Li Xiang got 80, and the other two got 20.
