A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Zhang Yunyue first went to the utility room to get out some shelled peanuts and prepared to peel them. She would then make fried peanuts and add them to the cold noodles to add to the ingredients of the cold noodles and mung bean jelly.

When Grandma Zhang and the others saw Zhang Yunyue take out the peanuts, they also sat aside and started peeling them.

As a result, they peeled, chatted and ate peanuts at the same time. Zhang Yunyue had never eaten such original peanuts before. The taste was much more fragrant than modern peanuts.

Zhang Yunxue was also like a little foodie, peeling and eating at the same time.

After peeling about two or three pounds, I stopped and used up all of this first, and then peeled more when the time came. There were many people at home anyway, so I could peel and use it anytime.

Zhang Yunyue put the peeled peanuts in the kitchen and used the oil used to make chili oil to fry the peanuts first, thus making multiple uses of the oil.

After the peanuts are prepared, you need to prepare the ingredients for making chili oil.

Zhang Yunyue went to the backyard to pick some coriander and onions, cleaned the soil, and peeled the garlic she got from the kitchen.

I also picked out a little bit of each of the spices I bought and made a simple version of thirteen spices.

Then rinse everything clean and drain dry.

Zhang Yunyue decided to make chili oil for two days first, so that the flavor of the chili oil can be preserved.

Zhang Yunyue called little boy Zhang Xingfeng to light the fire, while Zhang's mother and Zhu were ready to watch Zhang Yunyue make chili oil.

After all, the business has been established, and we can't keep waiting for Zhang Yunyue to make the chili oil. If both of them have learned it, whoever has time can do it.

After Zhang Xingfeng turned on the fire, Zhang Yunyue poured oil into the pot, and then immediately poured the peanuts into the pot.

Peanuts cannot be fried in cooked oil, only raw oil can be used, so that the fried peanuts will be golden and crispy.

"Xiaofeng, I've poured out the peanuts. Light a small fire."

"Okay, sister."

The peanuts were stir-fried in the oil pan for five or six minutes and then taken out. The heat was just right and the fried peanuts were crispy.

Zhang Yunyue put the fried peanuts aside.

When the oil in the pot is heated, Zhang Yunyue puts the onion and coriander into the pot and fry them over low heat until they are charred, then removes them and throws them away. Then, she pours the dried spices into the pot, stir-frys them in the pot for two or three minutes and removes them.

After all the spices in the pot were taken out, Zhang Yunyue poured ginger, garlic and peppercorns into the pot and fry them until the surface was slightly yellow. Then he poured chili powder into the pot and stir-fried slowly over low heat. When the chili powder was fried out with fragrance, he stir-fried for another two or three minutes and added salt and wine.

Adding wine can enhance the aroma of chili oil.

"Xiao Feng, you can put down the fire, no need."

Zhang Yunyue scooped out the boiled chili oil and placed it in a ceramic pot. The aroma of the chili oil in the kitchen hit her nose.

The chili oil with a spice flavor has a richer taste, and the spices have been fished out. Even if someone wants to imitate it, they can't guess what's in it.

"Yueyue, the chili oil we made today smells better than the one we made the other day. It's so strong that you can even smell the fragrance and spiciness in the air."

"Yueyue, what my sister-in-law said is right. I didn't expect chili peppers to be so fragrant. In the past, I only put a little in dishes to make them look good, but I didn't expect chili oil to be so fragrant."

“I believe this would be difficult to imitate even if someone wanted to.”

Zhang Xingfeng came forward and said, "I think I can eat two steamed buns just by smelling this."

"Don't tell me, when you eat steamed buns, put some chili oil in the middle, it must be very fragrant. Try it for dinner later. After all, you must taste the chili oil you make yourself first, so that you can tell the visitor about the fragrance of the chili oil tomorrow."

"Now that you've said that, you have to try it yourself before you can recommend it to others. Otherwise, if someone asks you what it tastes like, I can probably only reply with one word: delicious."

Several people couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Grandpa Zhang and his crew had just finished setting up the scaffolding and returned to the front yard.

"I heard you guys laughing in the backyard. What are you laughing at? Oh, why does it smell so good?"

Zhang Cheng: "This taste is even more overbearing than the cold noodles I ate that day, Yueyue, you are getting better and better."

Zhang Cheng gave Zhang Yunyue a thumbs up.

"I believe that tomorrow, just based on the chili oil, many people will buy our cold noodles and jelly."

Father Zhang: "Yueyue, do you have anything else to do? The shelves in the backyard have been set up. Your second uncle and I are going to start getting the table and stools."

"Dad, it's okay. I can start with you guys right now."

"Okay, we can discuss how to fold it so that it doesn't take up space when you carry it back and forth."

When Zhang's mother and Zhu heard that the thatched shed in the backyard had been built, they each carried a pot and walked towards the backyard. They also asked Zhang Xingfeng to light the fire and asked Zhang Yunxue to take the oil tank from the house away.

Zhang's mother and Zhu knew that they would be making mung bean jelly in the evening, so they couldn't wait until a certain time to open the pot. Now was a good time to open the pot, wash it clean, and use it directly in the evening.

Zhang Xingfeng lit the fires in the two stoves. After all, they were just built yesterday, so let Zhang Xingfeng keep them burning for a while longer.

Zhang's mother and Zhu first washed the two large pots repeatedly, and then after the stove was heated red, they scooped a small spoonful of lard and let the lard soak all around.

Lift the pot out and put it aside and wait for a quarter of an hour. When the pot cools down, clean it several times.

Then turn the pot upside down on the stove and continue to burn it. Apply lard on the back of the pot. Wait until the oil is hot, take it off the stove, and clean it several times.

After washing the two pots, I went to the vegetable garden and picked a cabbage and put it in the pot to stir-fry. The cabbage did not turn black, which proved that the pot was ready.

Zhang Yunyue sat next to Zhang's father and Zhang Cheng, and demonstrated to them the folding table he had seen in modern times. It was definitely not possible for Zhang Yunyue to do it himself, but since he had lived in modern times, he could still explain it by following the example.

Zhang's father and Zhang Cheng listened to Zhang Yunyue's explanation and studied it for a while. Finally, they found the principle of the folding table and made one according to their idea.

"I made it. I didn't expect it to be so convenient. I can fold it up when not in use and unfold it when needed."

The folding table was made, and the folding stool was a smaller version of the folding table. Because of the success of the first table, Zhang's father and Zhang Cheng were making the remaining tables and stools.

Zhang's father and his team made two tables and 10 stools in total, and then polished the surface as smooth as possible to avoid scratching people.

Zhang's father made the spatula last night. It's that easy.

When Zhang's father and his colleagues finished making the first folding table, Zhang Yunyue left.

Zhang Yunyue went to the utility room and took out the bamboo tubes, bamboo spoons, bamboo bowls and chopsticks made by Grandpa Zhang and others. She also took out a few dustpans, washed them by the well, and put them aside to drain the water. She could load them up and leave tomorrow.

The bamboo tube and bamboo spoon are mainly used to hold salt, sauce and vinegar tomorrow, while the spoon is convenient for scooping.

The dustpan is mainly used to cover the jelly made tonight, in case there are insects.

Seeing that everything was almost ready, Zhang Yunyue felt relaxed.
