After playing around, the five-jin coarse pottery jars that Su Quan had customized earlier also arrived, and everyone helped to unload them.

There are 300 black and red ones each. Su Yuejian plans to go for the civilian route and call it spicy fire sauce.

It is estimated that these peppers weigh about 5,000 kilograms.

Originally, there was a very large greenhouse next to Su Yuejian's courtyard where she grew peppers for her own consumption.

After the weather got better, the fire in the greenhouse was turned off. As that side was empty, the peppers grown in the fields were transported there in batches. Chunlan led everyone to clean them and dry them in the sun, then took out a thousand kilograms of peppers, fried them and made pure chili sauce, which was then sealed in black pottery jars.

Su Yuejian’s Haoyuexuan is right next to the greenhouse.

At this moment, a strong and unique aroma wafted out from the yard, which was both fragrant and pungent to the eyes and nose, making people want to smell it a few more times.

The wonderful smell quickly spread around, attracting neighbors to come and ask, and they were all drooling. Even the children next door cried because of the greed. It was really lively!

Immediately afterwards, Su Yuejian moved out another thousand kilograms of fresh peppers from the greenhouse and prepared to process them into chili powder using a traditional stone mill.

She guided Chunlan to skillfully operate the stone mill, slowly grinding the peppers and then sifting them.

Different sieves can filter out powders of different coarseness and fineness and store them separately for later use.

These chili powders, whether fine or coarse, will become an indispensable seasoning for Jing people's cooking in the future.

Su Yuejian seemed to have seen a golden mountain waving at her...

The remaining chili peppers are combined with sesame seeds, peppercorns, and some spices, and made into a hot sauce with meat particles. It is packaged in high-quality small porcelain jars and used for an aristocratic style. It is called Mala Yipinxian.

The girls all say that the one in the small bottle is the most delicious!

Smell it a few more times and you will immediately feel hungry!

I just had dinner!

Su Yuejian thought, this kind of hot sauce is made from beef bones and beef fat, how can it not be fragrant?

Although Jing State prohibited individuals from slaughtering working oxen privately, it did not prohibit eating beef.

Not only milk is available on the market, but beef, beef bones and beef fat can also be purchased through normal channels.

As there was a shortage of manpower, four maids were borrowed from my grandmother to help.

Since this chili pepper business was a food business, Su Yuejian simply handed it over to Chunlan to take care of. She was also someone who was willing to think about how to make delicious food.

Su Yuejian is a man with a lively eye and often some fresh ideas. What he wants is not only someone who can execute, but also someone who can stand on his own.

In addition to tinkering with peppers these days, another job is to teach Chunlan how to cook Sichuan cuisine.

Haha, now we have chili peppers. Jing country already has seasonings such as garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, and Sichuan peppercorns, but the only thing missing is chili peppers, the main seasoning.

When chili peppers come, the gods return!

The gods are coming!

hahahahahahahaha!

After the finished product is ready, each neighbor who comes to ask about it is given a small bottle to try.

During these days, the fresh aroma of beef fat peppers has been hovering over the Su Mansion like a giant dragon. Everyone who passes by the door of the Su Mansion is attracted by the aroma wafting from inside and stops to watch!

Even the old lady’s Qingqiutang has started testing the waters with a small amount of slightly spicy meals.

This made Mrs. Lu very greedy, but she couldn't bring herself to speak up.

Little Su Yao was regretting so much at this moment, she should not have made the hook earlier.

The servants in the mansion also talked about the small kitchen in Haoyuexuan every day, and the delicious smell wafted out from it every day.

The maids from other courtyards were quietly eating outside the courtyard with their bowls in their hands, sniffing and taking a bite.

Madam Liu, Lu's confidant, also wanted to take advantage of the situation, but the lady and the eldest daughter were not very close.

Judging from the way the eldest lady behaves, Madam Liu thinks she is like a god, so why should she make things difficult for her?

The head of the family would not be happy about this, so he would often mention the eldest lady in front of her and slowly comfort her.

Madam Liu said to Madam Lu, "Sister Yao is so greedy, why don't I sacrifice my reputation and ask her for some?"

Mrs. Lu had wanted to try it for a long time, but she was too embarrassed to do it. After hearing what Nanny Liu said, it wouldn't be shameful to ask for some in Su Yao's name.

Su Yue saw that they were busy as hell, and for a moment she didn't pay attention to the suffering of the other courtyards in the mansion!

Aunt Liu said that Su Yao wanted to eat this hot sauce, and Su Yuejian then remembered that the little bean was really delicious! Hahahaha, this is a slap in the face.

Haha, joking aside, she felt a little guilty when she thought about how little Su Yao must have been ravenous these days.

It’s my fault that I was so busy that I didn’t even have time to let the couple at home satisfy their cravings.

Su Yuejian simply asked Chunlan to go over and train the cooks in all the kitchens in the mansion on how to cook Sichuan cuisine.

Then ask each kitchen to come to Haoyuexuan to get the chili sauce. There is an unlimited supply of chili in the mansion!

This decision made all the servants very happy!

Now, they no longer have to eat outside in the yard while smelling the fragrance!

Su Yuejian thought that it was time to go for a follow-up visit with the concubine this month. In fact, the concubine was in good health now, but the patient trusted the doctor, so she wanted to show the doctor her current condition and hear the doctor's praise and affirmation with her own ears, only then would she be completely relieved.

This time, Su Yuejian brought spicy Yipinxian as a return gift.

After arriving at Prince Rong's Mansion and seeing the Concubine Dowager for a follow-up visit, he borrowed the kitchen from her and said that the chili peppers he had received from the palace before could now be turned into a delicacy.

This time he came to fulfill his promise, so he prepared a hot pot banquet in the palace.

It is expected that the time will be just right when the prince returns.

The concubine was very happy, thinking that her son, who had always been arrogant, had finally come to his senses. She hurriedly ordered her servants to urge the prince to return home as soon as possible.

Over there, Nangong Li heard that Su Yuejian came to the palace to cook delicious food, so he hurried back before the discussion was over.

There was an abundance of food in the palace, so Su Yuejian picked out some ingredients that could be used for hot pot and directed the kitchen to prepare them in the shapes and sizes she wanted.

Su Yuejian asked the kitchen staff to use a chicken to make a pot of chicken soup and add some mushrooms as the base soup.

She stir-fried butter, onions, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, chili peppers, sesame seeds, rock sugar, and some spices together. The aroma was released as the spoon was waved, and Nangong Li came back just in time to smell this mellow fragrance.

I wasn't hungry at first, but the smell stimulated my taste buds and aroused my appetite.

Add the fragrant mushroom chicken soup, and immediately a layer of red oil will float in the pot.

Su Yuejian instructed Chunlan to prepare the side dishes, pour sesame sauce over the spicy Yipinxiang they brought, and then add chives, chopped garlic and coriander, and everything was ready.

A large pot was brought from the kitchen and placed in the open-plan flower hall in the yard. A charcoal fire was used to cook underneath, and the various hot pot ingredients prepared in advance were ready.

The meat dishes include lamb slices, beef slices, pork belly slices, duck blood, duck intestines, homemade pork meatballs, shrimp balls, and fish balls.

For vegetarian dishes, I made a big vegetable platter by combining parts of all the vegetables in the kitchen. There were also bean sprouts and tofu, which were very fresh and just right for use. In fact, the biggest advantage of hot pot is that it is not picky about ingredients, and everything can be used.

The staple food was some multi-grain noodles to take into account the body of the toffee.

For drink, I cooked mung bean soup to relieve the greasiness.

The table is filled with ingredients, exuding an enticing aroma, and they are so fresh that they seem as if they were just picked from the ground.

The colors are bright and eye-catching, red, green, yellow, purple... like a colorful painting of food, extremely pleasing to the eye.

Add in a variety of delicious and fresh condiments, and it makes people salivate and their appetite grow.

Nangong Li raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and happily told the servants around him to fetch some wine.

He always liked to have a few drinks when he was in a good mood, feeling the mellow liquid sliding down his throat, bringing a hint of intoxication and relaxation.

At this moment, he glanced at Su Yuejian, hoping that the perfect combination of wine and food would bring him more happiness.

The prince and the concubine took their seats one after another. Su Yuejian introduced this spicy hotpot to them. They could just eat whatever they wanted and then put it in the small bowl in front of them and eat it with the sauce.

You don’t need anyone to serve you at all. This way of eating is really novel and wonderful!

"I really want to taste you! You look so mouth-watering!"
