In the past, there was no Chili sauce in Guilin. If it is out of season, it will be difficult to eat delicious Chili. At most, we can find some dried peppers, which are rubbed with fire or ground into powder. Although they can still satisfy some tastes, people always find it troublesome. The taste of dried peppers is far worse than that of fresh peppers. How can we have delicious peppers all year round?
as the saying goes, "winter solstice bacon, summer solstice dog". Every winter solstice, every household begins to hang bacon. At that time, a man named Wang began to understand; He thought, if pork is salted, it won't stink. After a few months, it will taste delicious as usual. Why can't peppers be salted? The next year, he tried to pickle the whole fresh pepper with salt. After two months, he opened the altar and tasted it. Well, it was really good! It's so red that it hasn't even changed its color. It's just that the pepper is too big, and some of it is not salty yet. Later, Lao Wang used his brains to chop up fresh peppers and marinate them, which made them taste even better. However, the fly in the ointment is that the pickled pepper is too spicy for northerners to eat. What should we do? Lao Wang thought about it from left to right, and suddenly it occurred to him that northerners usually like to eat old garlic, so why not mix some old garlic in it? Then he immediately chopped a few Jin of old garlic and put it in the pepper. After a while, Lao Wang opened the jar again. Hey, it smells good! The people next door came running around smelling the fragrance, and everyone tasted it. "Spray spray ... this tastes really good." So Lao Wang generously scooped a bowl back for everyone.
Later, Lao Wang simply sold the old garlic and pepper. Because it was a unique business, Lao Wang soon made a lot of money and became a pepper boss. With the ticket, Lao Wang expanded his production and scratched a few old garlic peppers in the vat. But just after he got into the vat, he was hit by the south wind for several days. The old garlic peppers in the vat began to come out of the water, which was thin. Lao Wang picked a taste and found that the taste was a little sour. What should I do? At this rate, you will lose a lot of money. He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't find any good way, which made him eat badly, sit uneasily and sleep unsteadily. After only two or three days, he became much thinner. One day, he went to a rice noodle shop to eat rice noodles in order to impress the people. At this time, a man dressed as a farmer sat down opposite him and asked for a bowl of rice noodles. The farmer took two bites and frowned. He took a round dry cake from his pocket and chewed it while eating powder. Later, he simply skimmed half of it and put it in a rice noodle bowl. That Lao Wang felt strange. When he looked at his bowl again, he saw that red and black were mixed and the smell was fragrant. The red one was naturally pepper, but what was the black one? So Lao Wang and he pulled up the plank road, and after turning and grinding corners, he realized that the man was eating fermented soya beans Chili cakes. The black one is fermented soya beans, an old mildew. Because it has been left for a long time, it is very dry and has strong water absorption. When it is mixed with pepper and baked a little, it becomes fermented soya beans pepper cake. When you are away from home, you can take it out to eat when you think about it, which is very appetizing. When I heard that, Lao Wang was moved. Isn't it good to put this moldy fermented soya beans in those jars of old garlic and pepper? But on second thought, don't worry, I don't know how it tastes? So he asked, "brother, do you have any more?" How about giving me a taste? " The farmer was also generous, and he took out another one and handed it to Lao Wang. Boss Wang looked around for quite a while. He also put the cake in his hand and put it in his mouth to chew. Well, it tasted good. He put the cake in the rice noodle bowl and mixed it up. The taste was very different. It was really delicious. After eating, he broke out in a big sweat and made people feel refreshed. Finally, he grabbed the farmer and asked him to be the first master in the workshop.
After some re-processing, several old garlic peppers that were about to go bad in the sea tanks became delicious again. From then on, the famous chili sauce mixed with old garlic peppers by the old mold fermented soya beans was born.
