Chapter 254 It’s better to stay
Father and Mother Li looked at her and asked, "Is this An An? Xi Yang called us just now. Come in quickly!"
"Hello uncle and aunt, I'm Xia Anan, and I'm here to see Chili." Xia Anan said.
"Okay, An An, right? Let's go sit in the room. You must be exhausted from the journey. I heard from Xiyang that you came from Beijing City?"
Li Xiyan walked behind, muttering quietly: "Why is Big Brother stealing my credit?"
There was already water and washed fruits in the living room.
Just as the two said, Li Xiyang called just now.
"Mom and Dad, An An is amazing. I'll find her videos for you later. She has millions of fans!"
Li Xiyan went into the room and quickly changed her clothes.
Xia Anan felt a little embarrassed being surrounded by their family. She should have brought someone with her.
"An'an, Xiaoyan told me that you are here to buy chili peppers. I don't really understand the affairs of you young people, so I want to ask what business you are in?"
Xia Anan replied: "I run a snack stand. Now there are spicy skewers and spicy hot pot, which all use hot pot base, so I want to try making it myself and make my own brand of base."
Mr. and Mrs. Li looked at each other.
"Making hot pot base? That's a good idea. In fact, Xiyang mentioned it last year when the peppers were unsalable, but we didn't have the conditions at that time."
Xia Anan didn't expect that Li Xiyang also had this plan, so it would be easier to talk about it.
"Now I just have an idea. If I am planning to start making the base, I have to consider the raw materials and formula. So I took this opportunity to come and see Chili."
Mother Li nodded. "I'm talking to you. How can a little girl like you come here alone to buy chili peppers? Many of the chili peppers in our fields are suitable for making base ingredients. Last year, I made chili sauce. I'll give it to you to try later!"
"Okay, thank you Auntie!"
While a few people were chatting, the sound of a car was heard outside.
Li Xiyan stood up and walked out quickly: "It must be Big Brother who is back! Let me see what delicious food he bought!"
Xia Anan was about to stand up, but was held down by Li's mother, "Anan, sit down, just let her go!"
Soon, Li Xiyang and his sister came in carrying large and small bags of things.
All of them were brought back by Li Xiyang, not just today's meal.
Although Xia Anan was the only guest, the meal was still very sumptuous.
Father Li even took out his treasured wine, and his face was full of regret when he learned that Xia Anan didn't drink.
"Then you drink the drink, Xiaoyan, pour a drink for An An."
"What kind of drinks should we drink with so many dishes? Eat vegetables, eat more vegetables."
At the dinner table, the atmosphere among the few people was particularly good, and Xia Anan also tasted different kinds of peppers.
Because of the different taste, the preparation methods are also different, but it is undeniable that chili is addictive.
The hotter it is, the more she wants to keep eating. If her stomach would allow it, Xia Anan would definitely want to finish two more bowls of rice.
After dinner, several people sat around the table and started discussing peppers.
"The usage rate of chili peppers in our snack street is still very high. After all, many snacks are salty, and there are also spicy skewers and spicy hot pot, which require chili peppers as the base, so high-quality chili peppers are needed."
Xia Anan had previously carefully researched information about chili peppers. Some chili peppers are very spicy and have no fragrance.
Some have a stronger aroma and very light spiciness.
Coincidentally, Li Xiyan has both of these peppers.
"If it's appropriate, I can harvest all the peppers in the pepper field."
Xia Anan had thought about it before. The snack street consumes a lot of chili oil, chili powder, and chili base every day.
Therefore, I have to go to the mall to adjust it every month.
But the quality of peppers in shopping malls varies greatly, and it takes a lot of time to buy the right peppers.
In that case, why not do it yourself?
Xia Anan is currently very confident in her craftsmanship. She made all the chili sauces herself before, so if she buys better chilies, the chili sauce she makes will be more perfect.
Several people discussed the issue of peppers for an entire afternoon, and after the peppers were dried, they were purchased at the market price.
Before I knew it, a drizzle started outside.
The autumn rains are getting colder with each passing day, and the temperature is a few degrees lower than in the morning.
"Why is it raining again? It rains a little every Mid-Autumn Festival."
Mother Li spoke, and several people looked outside with her.
Li Xiyan took out her cell phone and said, "Hey, the weather forecast says it will rain tomorrow. Will we not be able to see the moon?"
She was patted twice on the head, and Li Xiyang exposed her without any hesitation.
"Whether there's a moon or not, you still play games at night."
Li Xiyan glared at him fiercely, "An An is here, can you give me some face?"
"Alright, alright, stop making trouble, both of you." Mother Li's eyes fell on Xia An'an, "An'an, tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, aren't you going back to celebrate with your family?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiyang next to her touched her arm and said, "Mom, An An's home..."
Mother Li reacted and said quickly, "I'm sorry, An'an, it was Auntie who said too much."
Xia Anan shook her head. "It's okay. My relationship with my family is not very good. There is no difference between the holidays and normal days."
"How can there be no difference?" Father Li retorted, "Then you stay and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with our family."
"That's right, An An, why don't you stay and celebrate the holiday with us? There are only a few of us in our house, and it will be more lively if you are here."
Li Xiyan put her arm around her and echoed.
Xia Anan also hopes that she can have a place to celebrate the festival, but without disturbing other people's family.
"Thank you, uncle and aunt, but I have something else to do today, so I'd better not disturb you."
Li Xiyan seemed to be deflated instantly, "Okay, An An, you can come to our house later."
"um. Thank you."
Seeing that it was getting late, Xia Anan said goodbye to Li Xiyan's family and decided to discuss the chili sauce tomorrow.
Today, she ate the chili sauce made by Li's mother at the dinner table. She thought it tasted very good. If it is appropriate, she could arrange for it to be served at the snack street.
Mother Li held her arm, looking reluctant: "An An, it's not convenient to take a taxi at this time, let Xi Yang take you."
"Yes, Xiyang, go drive and take An An to the hotel."
Li Xiyan's face was full of regret: "Why do we have to go back to the hotel so late? You can stay for one night!"
Xia Anan originally wanted to say that it was not necessary, as she had left the driver's contact information when she took a taxi today, but two car horns sounded behind her.
The other party had driven the car over, so Xia Anan stopped being polite and opened the car door and walked in.
