Chapter 265 Chili Workshop Construction 2
Lin Ting put the things down and nodded to Yu Kangle.
"Master Yu, let's go to the farm to process our chili peppers. By the way, this is the village chief of Wushan Village, and this is his son, Li Boxi, Brother Li."
When they met, Lin Ting naturally introduced them to each other.
"Village head, Brother Li, this is the Ministry of Revenue doctor from the capital, Lord Yu."
When they heard that he was coming from the capital, they thought that he must be a high-ranking official. The village chief and Li Boxi put down the things in their hands and bowed to Yu Kangle.
"I, Li Xinrong, the head of Wushan Village, and my son, greet Master Yu. I didn't know you were here. It's really rude of you. Please don't bother with me."
In the hearts of the people, officials are the most powerful. What's more, the highest official the village chief and his companions can meet is the county magistrate. Now, when they suddenly see an official from the Ministry of Revenue in the capital, they feel instinctively afraid.
"Village Chief Li, please stand up. This is not an official place. Just go about your business as if I don't exist."
Yu Kangle has an important responsibility, but he is very easy-going. When he is here, he always tells people in Zhuangzi not to be restrained.
"Master Yu, you are busy. I will do my own thing. If it is ready later, you can try it."
Yu Kangle: “Okay!”
Making chili peppers is quite pungent, so Lin Ting, the village chief and the other two put on their homemade masks and started making them in the big kitchen of the village.
Lin Ting had a lot of chili peels left. Whether they had seeds or not, if they were processed well, the difference would not be too big.
The village chief and Li Boxi first dried the peppers over charcoal fire, then crushed them and put them in jars for later use.
Lin Ting took out some chili powder, added the spices she asked Wan Weiran to mix, and cumin, poured it with hot oil, and a barbecue seasoning was ready.
This seasoning is very fragrant, so fragrant that it would be delicious even if you dipped the soles of your shoes in it, not to mention that Lin Ting would sell it later.
Make another batch of dried chili powder with spices, and also make chili oil. Fry the spices in oil first, then remove the spices.
Add a little chicken to enhance the flavor, and then add chili peppers to make it a delicious and spicy chili oil.
This kind of chili oil can be made into a variety of flavors. Just using it to mix with rice can make people eat two big bowls.
Lin Ting and the village chief Li Boxi have a clear division of labor. Lin Ting is responsible for production, and Li Boxi is responsible for blending the spices according to Lin Ting's needs.
Together with the village chief who was responsible for the canning, it took the three of them an entire afternoon to process all the chili peels.
"It's done. Now the roads I walk on smell like chili peppers."
Lin Ting smelled of chili peppers, various spices, and cooking fumes.
“The chili pepper is very fragrant, not smelly.”
Li Boxi didn't even look at Lin Ting, his eyes were all on the bottles and jars in the kitchen.
These are all processed peppers. He just tasted them with chopsticks and they are really delicious.
"Village chief, these peppers are not very abundant after they are made. You can take one can of this chili oil home. I will take one of the remaining two small cans and give one to Lord Yu. You can share the rest with the villagers to taste."
Lin Ting divided each of the four kinds of peppers into a portion for herself and the village chief. Of course, she also left a portion for Yu Kangle.
"Lin Ting, these are all things you bought. The peppers are yours, and the oil and salt are also bought by you. You have been spending money for our village."
The village chief didn't know how to thank Lin Ting. If he hadn't asked Lin Ting to help the villagers, Lin Ting wouldn't have spent so much money.
Seeing Lin Ting working so hard, the village chief always felt guilty.
"It's okay, Village Chief. This is called investment. I will earn back all the money in the future. I will take the peppers to Lord Yu first. After we clean up the kitchen, we will go back."
The village chief and Li Boxi put the peppers away and began to clean up the kitchen. In addition to the two of them, Aunt An was also helping them clean up. After all, the kitchen of the village had always been managed by Aunt An.
"Master Yu, are you here?"
Lin Ting knocked on the door of Yu Kangle's room on the second floor. They were just cooking chili peppers, and it was too pungent outside. Yu Kangle couldn't order Lin Ting to stop them, so he could only go back to the room and close the doors and windows.
"Mrs. Lin, are you done?"
Lin Ting smiled and nodded: "Did you choke Master Yu just now? These are the peppers we just processed.
Lord Yu has come from the capital and must have eaten many things that we have never tasted in our small town. Please taste these peppers and see if they have any selling points for us. "
Yu Kangle invited Lin Ting to come into the room and sit down. He looked at the four jars in her hands, each of which was only slightly bigger than a fist.
"I naturally want to try the chili peppers made by Madam Lin."
After Lin Ting sat down, she put four cans of chili peppers on the table. She first took out a portion of spicy chili oil and opened the lid of the can.
A fresh fragrance wafted into Yu Kangle's nose. It was the first time that Yu Kangle had smelled such a fragrance.
"Master Yu, this fragrant chili oil will be one of our main products in the future. It can be used as a seasoning when cooking. It can not only increase the attractive color of the dish, but also make the dish more fragrant.
Of course, the simplest way to eat it is to mix it with rice. The spiciness of the rice can stimulate the stomach and make people feel fuller.
Yu Kangle has been recording the growth of pepper seedlings these days, just as a backup, but he still doesn't know what the peppers taste like.
Waving his hand, Yu Kangle asked one of his guards to bring him a small bowl of rice.
"Go to the kitchen and get some rice!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Just as the guard was about to leave, Lin Ting stopped him again.
"Wait a minute, go down and ask Aunt An to grill some meat. Just grill it without adding anything else. Bring it up when it's done."
The guard knew it, he turned around, went downstairs, took the rice, and quickly came back and put it in front of Yu Kangle.
Lin Ting picked up some chili oil with chopsticks and put it on the rice, stirred it, and pushed it in front of Yu Kangle.
"Master Yu, please!"
Looking at the rice dyed red by the chili and oil, and the aroma wafting from the chili, he swallowed unconsciously, picked up the bowl, and took a bite.
He had tasted spicy food before, but that was the spicy taste of Cornus officinalis. Although Cornus officinalis can be used for seasoning, the taste is a bit pungent.
Therefore, in the capital, most families with better conditions do not eat Cornus officinalis.
But the chili peppers made by Lin Ting were not pungent at all, and the spiciness was acceptable to him.
When mixed with rice, it gave Yu Kangle's dull taste buds a new shock. The spicy taste made his brain feel excited and active.
“Very fragrant and delicious!”
Lin Ting smiled and explained to Yu Kangle: "The spicy chili oil that Lord Yu is eating is slightly spicy. For those who can handle spicy food, we also have medium and very spicy options."
Lin Ting added a little sugar to the chili to neutralize the spiciness. After all, not people in every region can eat such spicy food.
