Not long after, Tiqie Ji returned with the 'Qibo Tre Chili'.
This is a rather special type of dried red chili.
The raw material is the well-known 'Harlequin pepper', but the processing is not just simple sun-drying.
Smoking!
The ancient Aztecs used smoke to dry the moisture from ripe, red chilies, retaining the spicy flavor and nutrition to the greatest extent while imparting a very unique taste to these smoked dried chilies!
The timing of Tiqie Ji's return was perfect; Xia Yu was already meticulously chopping a batch of fresh green and red chilies.
Watching Xia Yu take the 'Qibo Tre Chili', find a white granite mortar, grab a handful of dried chilies, and throw them into the mortar, he then held the pestle tightly and began grinding and crushing the dried chilies.
Everyone looked surprised.
"Ah, he's crushing the dried chilies to take chili fragments?"
"In this way, the usage of fresh chilies and dried chili fragments will be completely different!"
