The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again

Camellia oil extracted from camellia seeds is a high-quality edible oil. Its natural fatty acid ratio and composition are basically the same as those of olive oil, and it is known as the "Oriental Olive Oil" in modern times. Camellia seed oil contains active substances tea polyphenols and camellia glycosides that are not found in olive oil, so camellia oil is also called "longevity oil" and "Oriental magic oil."

Camellia oil has many functions and no side effects, and is loved by consumers. It is a natural essential oil, and many modern hospitals widely use it in baby skin care.

Camellia oil used to be one of the main cooking oils that Li carefully selected as her family's main cooking oil. In order to ensure the hygiene and health of the cooking oil, she personally went to the mountains to supervise the entire process of camellia oil from harvesting to pressing, so that she could recognize at a glance that the fruit in front of her was camellia seed.

The edible oil used by people in this era is very simple, all of which comes from animal fats. Although the animals here have not been destroyed by technology and fire, their fats are still very healthy.

However, this has resulted in the phenomenon that most people cannot afford oil, as not everyone is willing to buy expensive pork fat.

As for Old Man Cheng's family, they refined a lot of oil because of the wild boar they caught some time ago. However, they only dared to put a few drops of oil when cooking. Their stomachs have been without oil for a long time. The seven or eight hundred people in Chengjia Village are all as skinny as bamboo poles. The only fat boy is in her arms at this time.

Li wished he could pick all the camellia seeds in front of him right now and squeeze them into golden camellia oil so that everyone could eat the oil today. However, he thought that camellia seeds would not mature until September or October. If they were picked too early, no oil would be squeezed out, which would be a waste. Besides, he did not have the tools to squeeze the oil.

Li could only walk back with Cheng Xingwan in her arms regretfully. At this moment, a white cloud floated in the sky from nowhere, blocking the sun completely. Gusts of wind blew, playing with the plants in the forest, causing them to sway left and right and rustle.

A branch with a unique fragrance was blown over by the wind and landed right on Li's head. Li reached out to push the branch away, but was attracted by the clusters of small green fruits covered by green leaves.

——Pepper.

The taste of mountain pepper is very special. It is not as numbing as Sichuan pepper, nor as spicy as chili pepper, and is slightly bitter. However, its fragrance is what Li always remembers.

The fruit of the mountain pepper contains many aromatic oils. In addition to being edible, it can be extracted into mountain pepper oil, which can also be used as edible flavors and cosmetic flavors, or as a raw material for high-end spices. The seeds of the mountain pepper also contain oil, which can be used to make soap.

Mountain pepper has the effects and functions of removing fishy smell, enhancing flavor, fragrance, regulating qi, eliminating accumulation, dispelling cold, relieving heat and dispersing gas. It is especially suitable for the cooking of meat ingredients such as beef, mutton, fish, lobster, snails and seafood. It is also suitable for seasoning noodle soup, hot pot or braised dishes.

It is a natural plant spice. When made into mountain pepper chili oil, its aroma can make people salivate. Adding a little bit when stir-frying or eating noodles can enhance the flavor, give it a unique taste, and whet your appetite.

Mountain pepper is a very good medicinal material, which has the effects of warming the middle and dispersing cold, dispelling wind and activating collaterals, promoting qi and relieving pain, and relieving asthma.

Thinking of the pepper stewed pig's feet, pepper oil tripe, pepper oil roast duck, pepper roast chicken feet, pepper chicken...

Tears of shame flowed from the corners of his mouth.

With nothing to carry the baby, Li broke off the entire branch and went home holding the baby in one hand and carrying the mountain pepper branch in the other.

When passing by the creek, Li saw a group of ducks chasing and fighting over something. She didn't pay much attention to them and just wanted to rush home.

Suddenly, a black object was thrown onto the surface of her shoe, and Li stopped to check it out.

Snails——

There was a light of surprise in Li's eyes. She loosened her grip on the branch, picked up the snail, which was smaller than a baby's fist, and looked at it carefully.

It was indeed a snail. She had eaten a lot of conchs in her previous life, and the appearance of snails and conchs was somewhat similar.

My daughter loves to eat snail noodles. She has eaten it with me several times. The snails in the snail noodles are exactly the same as the one in front of me, but just a little smaller.

She then remembered that the gourmet cookbook her daughter gave her seemed to contain quite a few recipes for cooking snails.

Snail meat is rich in protein, rich in amino acids and has high nutritional value.

Three bowls of snails and one bowl of meat. Although snails have little meat, they taste delicious. In modern times, they are an indispensable top-notch dish to go with alcohol in night snack stalls.

Li looked into the river and found that there were many snails attached to every stone in the river, and even in the rice fields.

"There are so many snails in the river. That's great. I can add another dish. But will the snails taste good without chili?"

Lee said to himself.

Cheng Xingwan, who was drowsy in her arms, rolled his eyes speechlessly. With a thought, low pepper trees appeared in the grass on both sides of the stream. The pepper trees were hidden in the lush grass and were not noticeable at all. Each tree had more than a dozen peppers and many small flowers in bloom.

Cheng Xingwan was just about to close his eyes and go to sleep when he thought of leeks, the perfect partner for snails.

As a result, a few more inconspicuous clumps of leeks, wild onions, wild garlic and wild ginger appeared in the grass.

After doing all this, she yawned delicately, closed her eyes and fell asleep without caring about anything.

Seeing that she was asleep, Li decided to send her home first and then pick up the snails with a bucket.

Back in the cave, Cheng Zeli, who had been studying with Master Li, and Cheng Jinwen and Cheng Jinwu, who had begun to learn to read at the old patriarch's house, also happened to come back.

Cheng Zeli took the little girl from his wife's arms and kissed her gently on the face.

"Mom and Dad haven't come back yet. I'll go help them."

"I am coming too!"

"Uncle San, take us with you!"

When the brothers Cheng Jinwen and Cheng Jinwu heard that their third uncle was going to the mountain, they hurried over.

"Then go quickly. Dad and mom are very tired today." Li lifted the curtain and motioned him to put their daughter on the bed. She turned to the two brothers and said, "Jinwen, Jinwu, don't go. Third Aunt wants you to help. Let's go pick snails and make you delicious food tonight."

"Really? You're really going to make us something delicious?"

"What are snails?"

Seeing the two little greedy cats, Li squinted her eyes and covered her mouth with her hands to laugh: "Of course it's true. When has Third Aunt lied to you before? Let's go pick up snails now."

Li carried a bucket and brought the two brothers to the river. When the two brothers saw the snails in Li's hand, they covered their mouths with their hands and showed disgusted expressions.

"Aunt San, throw it away quickly. This thing is inedible. It stinks and your mouth will be filled with mud and sand. No one would eat this even if they are hungry."

"That's right, this thing is too fishy. Just touching it with your hands makes your whole hands smell fishy."

Li threw the snails into the bucket, straightened her waist and smiled gently, "When has Third Aunt lied to you? The snails are smelly because they were not handled properly and there are no seasonings to remove the smell. Tell me, Third Aunt is just talking about whether the food she cooked is delicious or not?"

"good to eat!"

"Aunt San's cooking is better than any other!"

The two little kids affirmed it with absolute certainty.

"That's it. Aunt San said if it can be made delicious, it will be delicious. Are you willing to believe me?"

"I believe in Aunt San!"

"I believe it too!"

"Then come down quickly and pick them up with Auntie San."

The two brothers looked at each other, then rolled up their trousers and went down to the creek to catch snails. The water in the creek was not deep, just covering their ankles.
