Chapter 295 Chapter 295: Chopped Pepper Sauce
Author: The Secret in the Tree Hole
The Mid-Autumn Festival in Yiyang Fucheng was also very lively. Xu Yinyin had a reunion dinner with her family and went out to the lantern festival with her little sisters.
In view of the fact that some accidents happened during the previous grand and bustling times, this time, Magistrate Ye took it very seriously. All the government officials in the yamen did not take holidays and patrolled the streets and alleys for me continuously, ensuring that I would send a sentry every three steps and ten steps.
Every post should be highlighted, no accidents should happen, and the most important thing is to let the people enjoy the lanterns and celebrate the festival safely and happily!
Therefore, this Mid-Autumn Festival passed peacefully and bustling.
As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, the weather gradually becomes cooler.
Zhujiazhuang's peppers mobilized a lot of manpower, and finally they all picked a crop.
I asked Manager Wu to send people to take away the batches of roasted pepper sauce that I made in a hurry.
Xu Chunshan wanted to sell it in Yiyang Mansion, but Manager Wu directly waved his hand and asked him to provide it to him first. Of course, it would be no problem to put it in his own pig's trotter rice shop.
Therefore, if you want to eat this roasted pepper sauce in Yiyang Prefecture, you can only go to Xu Ji Pig Trotter Rice Shop to eat pig trotter rice.
There is news coming from the capital that a roasted chili sauce is now popular in the capital, and every household is buying it like crazy, and they can't get it yet.
There were also people who came from the capital and passed by Yiyang Prefecture. They happened to eat at Xuji Pig's Knuckle Rice. When they saw the roasted chili sauce, they immediately shouted out. This is the hot roasted chili sauce spread in the capital! One or two silver.
It’s a jar!
When the people in Yiyang Prefecture heard this, they thought, oh, it turns out that the carts of things being driven to the capital were actually being sold to people in the capital? One tael of silver per jar?
People in the capital are rushing to buy things they can't even buy. They don't have to spend money and they don't need to rob. They can just come and have a pig's trotter rice. Isn't this a huge bargain?
This is something that their Yiyang Prefecture sells. It is so popular in the capital, how can it be inferior here?
Then someone inquired about Xu Chunshan and asked him if Yiyang Mansion sells this chili pepper sauce? The answer he got was no, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed. In an instant, he went to Xu Ji Pig's Knuckle Rice Shop frequently. It doesn't matter if he doesn't sell it. Come on.
Try it for free here.
As a result, the business of Xu Ji's Pig's Knuckle Rice Shop is booming. Almost every day, people come one after another, and they can't stop cutting them like leeks.
She was extremely busy every day, and Zhang Xiulan was so tired that she beat her shoulders every day after work. Finally she couldn't stand it anymore and decided to hire two more people.
It's about inviting people, not buying them. Now there are a lot of deeds of sale at home, and everyone who buys them is responsible. This pig's trotter rice is just a miscellaneous thing, and there is no secret recipe. Just hire someone.
Zhang Xiulan asked her friend Du to help find two women in the city who wanted to work hard and clean, so she could relax.
As for Xu Chunshan, the roasted pepper sauce must continue to be made.
After picking a bunch of peppers, the peppers that were still on the branches gradually turned a bit brown, and they looked like they were about to turn red.
But don’t worry, you can make green roasted chili sauce. This chili is red, and it’s the same if you replace it with chopped chili sauce. The color of the chopped chili sauce looks good if you use half-sauce and half-red chili peppers.
And it lasts longer than roasted pepper sauce. The weather is cooler now, so it won’t be a problem to keep it for more than half a year.
Chopped pepper sauce can be used with rice, stir-fry, or whatever. The most important thing is to make a chopped pepper fish head and chopped pepper fish, which are full of flavor!
After listening to Xu Chunshan's description, Manager Wu immediately nodded and made more of this chopped pepper sauce!
Immediately, there was a rush of picking peppers again and sending them to the city one by one.
From the thousands of acres of peppers, we can pick another round of red peppers, and the rest can be harvested and dried into dried peppers when they are mature.
Xu Chunshan collected the chili peppers and started making chili pepper sauce.
The first step is the same, wash the peppers and then dry them.
Then, chop the pepper into fine pieces.
This was a big project, and it all had to be cut by hand. It was very laborious, and even the women who bought it couldn't cut it, so Xu Chunshan spent money and hired a bunch of women to cut the peppers.
With more people and greater strength, everything can be done quickly.
You can cut out quite a bit of it in one day.
Xu Chunshan was responsible for preparing the ingredients and then taking the women who bought them to make the chili sauce.
The ingredients are garlic, ginger, salt, sugar, and white wine.
First chop the garlic and ginger, then mix the chopped chilies with the garlic and ginger, then add sugar and salt. The amount of salt is generally a ratio of chili pepper to salt of ten to one. Sugar can be adjusted according to individual needs.
The taste needs to be adjusted appropriately, there is no regulation on this.
Mix these seasonings and crushed chili peppers thoroughly and let it sit for two quarters of an hour. Then add a tablespoon of white wine and mix well.
Put the chopped peppers prepared in this way into a clean, water-free and oil-free jar, compact it with a spoon, seal the lid, and it's ready.
Let it ferment for seven or eight days or ten days and a half, and the flavor will be more intense and mellow.
The time to transport it to the capital was just right.
When the first batch of chopped chili sauce arrived in Beijing, it was already the end of August. The weather was cool, full of spiciness, and the fresh flavor of the chopped chili sauce was even more appetizing.
The shop also introduced the recipes of chopped pepper fish head and chopped pepper fish. Therefore, more people bought the chopped pepper sauce, and many restaurants followed suit and rushed to buy it.
Not to mention, the fish head and fish steamed with chopped chili sauce are really unique, spicy and smooth.
If you haven’t tasted the taste of this minced pepper fish, you don’t deserve to call yourself a Beijing native!
The shop's business was booming, and the emperor in the palace was in a good mood when he saw his private treasury filling up.
But in the end, are you always thinking about what business is like?
His original intention was that the chili pepper was spicy and punchy, and could make people's bodies warm.
Right now, the private treasury is quite saturated, so that’s enough for the time being.
Thinking about the peppers grown in the thousand acres of land, one crop after another has brought a lot of profits. All of this is thanks to the Xu family.
Even if he gets a benefit, he cannot treat the people below him badly.
…
In mid-September, after delivering the thirtieth batch of chili pepper sauce to the capital, Manager Wu came to Xu Chunshan and confessed: "Besides the ones left for harvesting, there aren't many left, right? This is the rest.
Yes, if you make the chili pepper sauce, you can use it for yourself.
As for the subsequent harvest, the superiors have also told you that the harvest of fifty acres belongs to you. After the rest is dried and made into the dried peppers you mentioned, half will be shipped away. The other half will be made into hot pot ingredients and I will send them out.
Someone come and pull it."
Xu Chunshan got the right words and was gearing up, feeling happy in his heart.
No matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. If you cook the remaining ones, you can still make hundreds of jars of pepper sauce.
If a jar is sold in the capital for one tael of silver, he can't sell it for less, right? Others won't believe it if it's less.
That's a few hundred taels of silver. Well, if you give him the labor and material costs during this period, it can almost even out.
He had secretly muttered that the emperor was stingy. He only gave him land to plant and took away all the finished products. He did not say that he had been contracted for various expenses, and he was not paid for his wages.
I was being generous and left some of it for him, so at least I didn't post it in vain.
Later, he was given the free use rights of 50 acres of land. One acre of land was harvested at 500 kilograms of peppers. There are more than 20,000 kilograms of peppers, enough to make a lot of hot pot ingredients to make a lot of money. This year, there will be no more
Busy work in vain.
Come to think of it, he still took advantage. He is the emperor. How dare he not give you a human seed even if he doesn't give you anything?
