Chapter 242 Chili Peppers
After the potatoes recovered, Xia Shiyu took the picked peppers home.
She stepped forward to show off the chili peppers she had picked, saying, "Mom and Dad, look, our chili peppers are ripe."
Yu Juan and Xia Lihua came over to take a look. "Oh my, it really is! These peppers are ripe and ready to be used in cooking."
"Yes, yes, I think stir-fried pork with chili peppers would be the best."
Xia Shiyu was also very happy to hear this, as she also liked the stir-fried pork with chili peppers.
"Use this chili pepper. I bought the extra spicy kind, it'll definitely be flavorful enough." Xia Shiyu handed over the Hongshan chili pepper.
She was still in a bag when she picked them, and she was extra careful to put them directly into the bag after picking them, trying to minimize contact with her hands, otherwise she would definitely feel a burning sensation.
Xia Lihua took the bag and started washing it. "Okay, since it's extra spicy, let's wash a few to try. No need to wash too many."
"Okay, then I'll go and cut the meat first."
Xia Shiyu watched her parents get to work, then thought for a moment and took her phone to shoot a video. She figured she could use it as video material for her shop and post it there.
Although Xia Lihua heard Xia Shiyu say that chili peppers were spicy, he didn't pay much attention, so his hands got splattered while washing the chili peppers.
"Ouch, this chili pepper is really spicy. My hands are burning after washing them."
"Quickly wash it with soapy water," Yu Juan hurriedly added.
"Okay," Xia Lihua said, then took the soap and went to wash her hands.
Seeing how spicy it was, Yu Juan became a little more careful and tried to minimize direct contact between her hands and the chili peppers.
After Yu Juan sliced the meat into thin slices, she coated it with cornstarch, then poured oil into the pan and stir-fried the meat until cooked before taking it out.
Next, add oil, chili peppers, and garlic. The moment the chili peppers hit the pan, the spiciness is released by the boiling oil.
"Achoo, achoo!" Xia Shiyu and his grandparents couldn't help but sneeze; the spicy smell was too irritating.
Yu Juan also turned her head and coughed a few times.
"Ouch, this chili smells really spicy, it's making my eyes water."
Grandma said a few words and then ran outside.
Xia Shiyu also thought the chili peppers were really spicy, but she had to film a video, so she endured it.
Fortunately, Xia Shiyu had mentioned beforehand that the chili peppers were an extra spicy variety, so Yu Juan didn't dare to add too many and only used a few. Usually, when making stir-fried pork with chili peppers, she would add quite a lot of chili peppers, especially non-spicy green peppers.
However, the spiciness also filled Xia Shiyu with anticipation; this kind of chili must taste amazing.
Full of anticipation, Xia Shiyu took a few photos of the dish as soon as it was ready, then quickly put down her phone.
"Come on, let's eat!"
The family members were also very curious about the smell and all stepped forward to try it.
Xia Shiyu held a bowl of white rice in her hand, then quickly picked up a piece of stir-fried pork with chili peppers with her chopsticks. The red chili peppers paired with the dark brown pork strips looked very appealing, glistening with oil.
After taking a bite, he praised the taste, saying, "Mmm, this is the taste! The spiciness is just right."
The moment Xia Shiyu's mouth touched the chili pepper, she felt a surge of spiciness, and as she chewed, her lips turned red.
But honestly, it was awesome!
The rest of the family started eating too. After taking a bite, Xia Lihua couldn't help but praise, "Wow, this tastes really good, it's quite spicy."
"It's very spicy," Yu Juan said, then poured herself a glass of water and took a sip.
Everyone in my family thought it was spicy, but no one stopped eating it because of it. This chili has a unique magic; it makes your throat feel spicy, but it's so addictive that you can't help but eat it one bite after another.
The family's chopsticks flew around, and the chili peppers, shredded meat, and even the oil from the plate were all put into the rice, and every bite was eaten.
