Zhuo Qinfeng was puzzled and roared hysterically. The doctor spread his hands and replied: "Call the person who hurt her as soon as possible and wake her up, or, let the people closest to her talk to her all the time, in short, wake her up, in the subconscious, arouse her sense of survival." ”

At this point, the doctor let out a long, "hi" sigh and left.

After the doctor left, Zhuo Qinfeng ran in like a madman.

He saw Tong Xiaoyan on the hospital bed at a glance, lying on the bed, dying.

Zhuo Qinfeng's heart was pinched, his legs and feet were weak, he knelt down, and lay on the side of Tong Xiaoyan's bed, Zhuo Qinfeng cried heartbrokenly.

Whimpered and cried for a while, but Tong Xiaoyan still didn't react.

As soon as Zhuo Qinfeng turned around, he found that Zhenzi and Chu Li had already gone out, he remembered the doctor's words, and spoke to Tong Xiaoyan, right?

Zhuo Qinfeng thought about it, is it useful to speak? Then try it.

He remembered that Tong Xiaoyan used to be on a business trip with him, and she loved to eat.

He remembered that Tong Xiaoyan also recited an ancient poem at that time!

"In the sound of firecrackers, a year old except-"

Yes, yes, that's it, that's it!

Zhuo Qinfeng remembered that it was the Chinese New Year, and he happened to be on a business trip in other places, and a local customer explained to him and Tong Xiaoyan some of their local customs.

The customer said: "The New Year, is not only a time-honored custom, but also in addition to the old and welcome the new, happy family reunion festival, the New Year, indispensable to eat, drink and have fun, the so-called people to eat for the day, eating, is indispensable for the New Year." ”

Tong Xiaoyan listened with interest, so he asked.

"So, during the Chinese New Year, what are the special things on the table of Pingxiang people?"

The customer laughed, and then said: "There are more of them, there are crispy and oily button meat, there are golden temptation money eggs, and there are also shredded dog meat with star anise fragrance......"

What is it? Shredded dog meat?

It's so delicious!

Hearing this, Tong Xiaoyan still wanted to have a meal.

According to the customer, then, an indispensable special snack on the table of Pingxiang people is Pingxiang salt fruit.

She said that the spicy and slightly sweet feeling gives people a hot, sweet and sweet feeling. She especially likes Pingxiang salt fruits, not only because they are appetizing, but also because it means that life is prosperous and family is sweet and sweet.

Does it mean?

It's new!

This sounds like something delicious, and it has such a perfect meaning, Tong Xiaoyan and Zhuo Qinfeng glanced at each other, with a smile on their faces.

The customer found that Zhuo Qinfeng and Tong Xiaoyan were very interested in their hometown and happy, and she went on to explain: "This year's Chinese New Year, without exception, every household has started to make salt fruits again, and my family is no exception. ”

Is it possible?

"You're amazing!"

Tong Xiaoyan listened, innocently and simply praised from the bottom of his heart.

The customer was even more happy, and as soon as she saw this, she felt that the business was probably done! The customer invited Zhuo Qinfeng and Tong Xiaoyan into the house and entertained them with unique souvenirs.

While entertaining, the customer explained: "Speaking of Pingxiang salt fruit, my father said that salt fruit has a long history, has a unique flavor and local characteristics, is a pure handmade, and does not contain any preservatives, pigments, etc., eating salt fruit, very healthy." ”

The customer paused, smiled, and continued, "Actually, we young people don't understand it, but my dad does." ”

With that, the customer took Zhuo Qinfeng and Tong Xiaoyan to a room next door.

That time, Zhuo Qinfeng and Tong Xiaoyan were eye-opening, and they saw the customer's father making salt fruits while introducing them.

He said that the raw materials for the production of salt fruits are not single, many vegetables and fruits, such as the most common beloved tofu skin, bitter gourd that is bitter and then sweet, and even grapefruit peel, etc., all the parts that can be used to eat can be used to make salt fruits.

Dad said that after choosing the materials, this is not enough, it must go through a whole set of processes, this set of processes.

It's also about technology!

Tong Xiaoyan thought it was very interesting. Zhuo Qinfeng remembered that she also asked the customer, how can she remember such a complicated process?

The customer replied: "Remember, for the skilled Pingxiang older generation, it is very simple, for the young, it is basically lost, but the young people don't have to worry, Pingxiang has a place to make salt fruits, if you can't do it, you can go to the store to buy it." ”

Of course you can buy it, Zhuo Qinfeng shook his head, what he bought is generally processed by the factory, and in order to preserve it, people must put some preservatives or something.

Tong Xiaoyan looked at the customer's father very seriously.

Watching him carefully carry out the process one by one, Tong Xiaoyan felt that it was so complicated.

When Dad said this, he smiled and added, he said, if you can do it yourself, for the New Year, you can use the things you make yourself to entertain guests and give them to your family, I don't know how happy I am!

"Of course. Do it yourself, have plenty of food and clothing. ”

Zhuo Qinfeng also knew this, and Tong Xiaoyan laughed at that time.

According to Dad, the production of salt fruits, not to say that some vegetables or fruits are directly used in winter, the raw materials of salt fruits need to be prepared from summer, and when the vegetables are in the peak season, the vegetables that cannot be eaten can be washed, dried, or air-dried, and in case of rainy weather, they can also be baked, in short, the moisture in the vegetables or fruits can be cleaned.

"I understand that the technical term is called dehydration. ”

Tong Xiaoyan shouted, she finally understood something, understood, and dried the water in the dish.

Dad went on to introduce that after dehydration, store it in a dry place for later use.

After finishing, the customer also added: "Of course, there are some materials that do not need to be so cumbersome, such as ginger, tofu skin, radish, etc., directly washed, dried, sliced, and then made." The salt fruit produced in this way has an advantage - it is not easy to spoil, and it can be stored for a long time at room temperature. ”

After the customer finished speaking, he helped his father with his work.

"Where did you learn all these things?

Tong Xiaoyan praised again.

Dad looked at Tong Xiaoyan, smiled, and said, these are also the methods that the wise older generation of Pingxiang people draw from life, and they are purely experience. The existence of salt fruits, the vegetables that cannot be eaten, do not need to be lost, they can be dried in the sun, and they can be kept for the New Year to make salt fruits. When the older generation of Pingxiang people encountered the problem of preservation, and there was no refrigerator at that time, what should they do? So they came up with the method of dehydration.

No wonder!

A lot of things are actually forced out.

It's like people are lazy, and then there is a washing machine.

And then what?

Tong Xiaoyan then asked.

The customer said that the materials were ready, and the next step was to make them.

"At the end of the year, it's time for every household to take out the dried vegetables they usually prepare, how to deal with it?"

The client's dad sold a pass.

Tong Xiaoyan and Zhuo Qinfeng looked at it seriously, they were really interested, it turned out that there were such interesting things in the countryside?

Tong Xiaoyan and Zhuo Qinfeng watched their father boil a pot of water, put a wooden board with pores, and then put the dried vegetables on it, steam them through the water, and then get out of the pot when the dried vegetables became soft.

After Dad fished out the steamed vegetables, he began to complete the next procedure.

Zhuo Qinfeng and Tong Xiaoyan watched.

Watch the customer's dad put the dried vegetables into a large plate.

The customer's father smiled secretly, as if he was playing tricks, and said to Zhuo Qinfeng and Tong Xiaoyan: "Next, the secret recipe is here, if there is one less, the taste of the salt fruit will be different." ”

Tong Xiaoyan and Zhuo Qinfeng were stunned, and for a moment, they felt that the fathers in Pingxiang were too wise.

Zhuo Qinfeng and Tong Xiaoyan watched seriously as their father put the same ingredients into the big plate.

The customer's father explained: First of all, chili powder, different from person to person, like particularly spicy, put more, and then put sugar, powder and salt, the next thing, dad specially reminded, you have to pay attention, put a small wine, Pingxiang people called small wine, is white vinegar.

Oh? I see?

Tong Xiaoyan understood.

She looked at Zhuo Qinfeng, and Zhuo Qinfeng also looked at her, and then the two looked at the customer's father together.

He went on to explain, "There are two ingredients that are particularly important – perilla and licorice powder, without which you basically can't call it a salt fruit, because the aroma of the salt fruit has the subtlety of perilla and the taste is permeated with the slight sweetness of licorice. All ingredients have one thing in common, it does not damage the original taste of the raw materials. ”

Therefore, each salt fruit has the same taste of sweet, sour, sweet, spicy and spicy, while still retaining the original taste of each fruit or vegetable.

Tong Xiaoyan immediately understood.

No wonder, it's delicious.

Dad also explained, salt fruit as the name suggests, do you put salt?

Tong Xiaoyan thought: This name is all called salt fruit, is it possible that there will be other flavors?

The customer's father laughed, looked at Tong Xiaoyan, and asked, "Little girl, you are from the city, of course you don't know." ”

According to the customer's father, in fact, it is not all, according to the taste of each family varies from person to person, like salty, salt-impregnated, like sweet, put white sugar, unchanged, everyone put Pingxiang local chili powder.

"Why?" Tong Xiaoyan asked innocently.

The customer smiled and replied: "Because chili pepper is a very popular material of Pingxiang people, chili pepper can also be directly used to make salt fruits. ”

Hearing this, Tong Xiaoyan felt so cold, she asked, "Is there any salt fruit chili?"

"Of course I have, I just made it!"

The customer came out of a cabinet with a bowl and placed it in front of Tong Xiaoyan and Zhuo Qinfeng.

Tong Xiaoyan pricked one with a toothpick and put it into Zhuo Qinfeng's mouth, Zhuo Qinfeng was so spicy, but he didn't dare to say it, he was afraid that Tong Xiaoyan would be unhappy.
