The original wife who died young and dressed as the villain regent

In the evening, when he returned home, Lin Xi saw a lot of cabbage piled up in the open space on one side of the yard.

When the four children saw her coming back, they immediately gathered around and happily took credit.

"Today, daddy took us to pull cabbage. There were too many cabbages, but we still finished most of the land!"

I don’t know since when, when Lin Xi came back from an outing, these four children would always come to greet her, and they would smile a lot more when they faced her.

Lin Xi smiled and praised a few words, then asked, "Where is your father?"

Dabao said: "Dad said something happened and he went out. He won't be back until a while."

Lin Xi snorted and said, "I brought back a lot of things. Since your father is not here, can the few young men help Aunt Lin get them?"

The three boys nodded without hesitation.

Si Bao said expectantly: "There are still four treasures, the four treasures can also be used!"

Lin Xi rubbed her head and said with a smile: "The Four Treasures are not very strong yet. They will be fine when they grow up."

Although Si Bao is now well and does not need to take medicine, Lin Xi still takes good care of her and gives Si Bao a soup made from Ganoderma lucidum every few days. If not for fear that Si Bao's little body cannot withstand the heavy supplements,

, she wanted Si Bao to eat a piece of Ganoderma lucidum every day.

The children swarmed out and dragged Lin Xi's things bought from the county into the yard.

When they saw a basket of bright red peppers, they didn't recognize the dish and asked curiously: "What is this?"

Lin Xi said: "This is called pepper, a very delicious vegetable."

"Really?"

Erbao's eyes lit up. Out of trust in Lin Xi's cooking skills, he couldn't help but put some into his mouth, wanting to taste what it tasted like.

This scene was so serious that Erbao's expression suddenly changed and his face turned red.

"No...it doesn't taste good...it hurts...oooooooo..."

Erbao was brought to tears by the pain, and his mouth was burning with pain. He didn't know how to describe the taste, he just felt extremely uncomfortable.

Dabao, Sanbao and Sibao were startled and suddenly became anxious.

Lin Xi, who had entered the kitchen, came out and saw this scene. She couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Quick, Dabao, pour a bowl of cold water for the second treasure. Third treasure, go get a piece of candy for the second treasure. Second treasure, don't rub your eyes with your hands! Don't do that either."

Touch your face!”

Seeing Er Bao's actions, Lin Xi quickly walked over to stop him.

The Dabao and the Sambo did as they were told, and the Four Bamboos surrounded the Dabao, anxiously circling around.

Lin Xi went to get a basin of water and put some fragrant leaves picked some time ago in it. The fragrant leaves have a very fresh smell and can be used to clean teeth instead of toothpaste in future generations. It also has a refreshing mint flavor. It is Shen Chen's

I found it in the mountains while hunting, and Lin Xi fell in love with it the first time I used it.

She carried the water over and saw Erbao holding Dabao's hand and drinking water, looking dazed by the heat.

After drinking the water, it was not enough, so Erbao immediately ate the candy that Sanbao brought.

This kind of candy is a bit cold when stored in cold weather, and tastes very much like the rock candy of later generations.

The spiciness was subdued by rock candy, and Erbao sat there with empty eyes, as if he had lost his ideals in life.

Si Bao was so anxious that he almost cried: "Brother, don't scare Si Bao. What's wrong with you?"

When Er Bao heard this, he weakly raised his hand and touched her head, "Second brother...it's okay..."

Dabao and Sanbao looked at him worriedly. When they saw Lin Xi coming, they immediately pulled Lin Xi and wanted her to take Erbao's pulse.

Lin Xi couldn't laugh or cry as she washed the wet handkerchief, first wiped Erbao's face, and then put his hand into the water to wash. The refreshing feeling made Erbao finally feel better, but he was still wilted.

He pursed his lips and said: "I will never eat that kind of food again..."

The three Dabaos nodded in succession.

Lin Xi said helplessly: "Silly Erbao, the pepper needs to be processed before it can be eaten. If you eat it directly, it will be too spicy."

"Really?" Erbao didn't believe it.

Lin Xi said: "You will know when I use it to make something delicious."

Erbao was still frightened, and finally didn't feel spicy anymore. He refused to go near the chili peppers for life or death.

When Shen Chen came back, Lin Xi had prepared dinner.

She couldn't help laughing and told Shen Chen about Erbao eating chili peppers.

Shen Chen was surprised: "Can that kind of food be eaten?"

These words made Lin Xi look at him, "Do you know Chili Pepper?"

Shen Chen said: "I knew there was such a dish, but I didn't know it was called chili pepper. Everyone who has eaten it said it would kill people, so no one ate it."

"Oh, if I had known that you would have known it, I would have asked you earlier! If you don't eat chili peppers, you are really wasting your resources! Wait, I will use chili peppers to cook you a table of delicious dishes that can swallow your tongue tomorrow. !" Lin Xi said regretfully.

Shen Chen didn't quite believe it, but still thought that peppers were an inedible dish.

After dinner, Lin Xi and Shen Chen were processing the cabbage in the yard.

Lin Xi asked Shen Chen to put a large handful in the utility room for storage first, and leave the rest for her to make pickles, and divide the cabbage leaves pulled out tomorrow like this.

Shen Chen didn't know what pickles Lin Xi wanted to make, so he just cooperated with her obediently.

Finally, they dealt with the things Lin Xi bought. Shen Chen looked at the large amounts of pepper, star anise, cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, wolfberry, etc. and wondered: "What are these used for?"

Lin Xi said: "The base of hot pot."

"The base?"

"Yes, I can't tell you clearly at the moment. You will know when I make it. I also need shiitake mushrooms, which should be available in the mountains. I will go to the mountains to look for them in the next two days. If they are available in the county, I will also buy them in the county. Some." After Lin Xi finished speaking, he looked at a basket of red peppers and said, "These red peppers will be dried in the sun tomorrow, and then I will use them for cooking."

Shen Chen's eyes were a little suspicious, but he still didn't think red pepper could make anything delicious.

But Lin Xi kept his word.

The next day, Shen Chen took the children to work in the fields, while Lin Xi processed red peppers at home.

When she was drying red peppers, she took advantage of her free time to use a few cabbages to make sour and crispy pickles. After processing and mixing the ingredients, she sealed them in jars. She didn't go any further and planned to use these first. Try it, and if you succeed, do it in larger quantities.

Then when he looked at Red Chili Pepper, Lin Xi's eyes lit up.

A lot of spicy dishes are waiting for her!

With red peppers, she can even make pickles with more flavors, such as sour and spicy, sweet and spicy, or just plain spicy. Just thinking about it makes me drool!

Of course, Lin Xi did not forget his promise to Shen Chen.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Lin Xi prepared a few red peppers for lunch, and then made the rest in the afternoon.

Unexpectedly, she underestimated the spiciness of the red pepper, and as soon as she cut one, Lin Xi was hit by the spiciness and felt like crying.

In the end, Lin Xi only used two small peppers for seasoning, and the dishes he made were boiled pork slices and spicy chicken.

Because she was worried that Shen Chen and her children might not be able to tolerate spicy food, she also made non-spicy stir-fried pork with cabbage and braised eggplant.
