The black-bellied prince: the little princess of the chef

Chapter 177 Fried Pine Nuts

A few people hurriedly snatched the pine nuts into the main room, and piled them slowly all over the room. Even the dining table was moved to a corner, and they barely put the fruits of labor of the past few days.

Ye Qing looked at the pile of pine cones and sighed, thinking he could go to the pine forest to pick some more.It's a pity that when the autumn rain fell, almost all the pine cones on the pine trees fell off.She really regretted it, why didn't she discover this pine forest earlier?

Otherwise, the pine cones in this pine forest can become additional income for the villagers!

"Why did it suddenly rain? Really, I don't like rain the most." Looking at the upside-down rain curtain outside, Chun Ya complained sadly while rubbing her sore arms and legs.

"If you don't understand the artistic conception, you should feel the feeling, how comfortable it is when it rains!"

After Qi Su refuted Chun Ya's words, he moved a stool under the eaves with great interest, felt the mist blowing towards his face, and suddenly felt light and refreshed.To express my current feelings in one word, that is: comfortable!

Chun Ya listened to the sound of the pattering rain, with a slumped face, extremely annoyed, it was raining so hard, how could she be comfortable?Not only uncomfortable, but also feel a little cold!

"Isn't it bright and clear? It's raining now, so I can't go anywhere!"

"No fun!"

"Humph!"

Ye Qing listened to the bickering between the two, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, then shook his head.I don't know, I thought the two were enemies.

She remembered that the two were chasing and fighting in the pine forest yesterday, but Chun Ya tore Qi Su's clothes, Qi Su blushed and asked Chun Ya to take responsibility for this scene, her eyes were full of searching.

Whether these two will have an ending, Ye Qing can't say for sure, after all, when a discerning person sees Qi Su, he will know that he is not a poor countryman like them, and that he is not from the same family as Chunya.Ye Qing was afraid that Chun Ya would get hurt if he got stuck in it, and he was a little worried about Chun Ya's future.

But it's good now, neither of them seem to have any signs of that aspect yet, it's because she thinks too far.

"Don't be idle, if you want to eat something good, come and help."

Ye Qing's voice is not loud, but it is enough to make the two foodies hear and fall in love.As soon as they heard that there was something delicious, the two hurriedly moved a small stool over and asked excitedly, "What's delicious?"

Ye Qing looked at the eagerness of the two, shook his head, and sighed: It really lowered the style of foodies!
It would be good to despise it for a while in my heart, but I was proud on my face, and then pointed to the pine cones all over the room.

"Ye Qing, why don't you play with us? We're not squirrels, how can we eat this pine cone?" Chunya's temper exploded immediately, with a mournful face, and her voice was full of accusations.

Ye Qing was not in a hurry, he took a leisurely stroll to get a dustpan, then lifted a stool and sat down, slowly picked up a big pine cone and started peeling pine nuts.

The pine cones were supposed to be harvested in July, but it took until the end of August. Most of the pine cones hanging on the pine branches were very dry, and almost all of them had opened their mouths.In addition, after picking them back and drying them again in the past few days, it is very easy to break out the pine nuts.

After Ye Qing peeled two of them, he put the pine nuts into the dustpan, Qi Su and Chun Ya's eyes stared at him.Is there anything else in the pine cone?

"What are you doing in a daze? Is it possible that you really want to be like squirrels, eating raw?"

After the two saw the pine nuts with their own eyes, they were seduced by Ye Qing's words, they quickly moved the stools and sat down, imitating Ye Qing's example and started picking pine nuts.

Although the sun-baked pine cones are easy to clean up, there are a lot of them after all. Just looking at the pine nuts in the dustpan will not be effective all afternoon.But looking at the stripped pine cones, there are already a lot of them.

Ye Qing couldn't help sighing, it really is ten towers for one pine nut!
"It's time to eat, don't be too busy." Qiu Sheng came in from outside with two steaming bowls of pig intestines, and shouted.

After working all afternoon, Qi Su was already hungry, and when she heard the sound of eating, she hurriedly got up, and what was commendable was that she took the initiative to help arrange the dishes.

When the dishes and chopsticks were set and the food was served, apart from Zhang Xiu sitting in the confinement baby, Ye's main room was full of people sitting at a table eating.

Because the rape seedlings will be planted after the rain, everyone can still have leisure these few days.The Xun family and Du Juan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also came to the Ye family as usual today, and they still helped cook the rice and wash the pigs into the water, and the Ye family felt very sorry for the harm.

Mrs. Xun had been busy for a whole day, so she was free, and Mrs. Xu gratefully kept adding vegetables to her bowl.

Today's main course is braised fat sausage, Ye Qing specially asked Xu Shi to cook it yesterday, saying it was for everyone to change the taste, but Xun Shi did the work for everyone, but the taste is very good.

Qi Su had never tasted such delicious farm food, and he scrambled to eat his chopsticks, as if he had been starved for ten or eight years and was released from a prison.

Ye Qing quickly finished eating and put down the bowls and chopsticks, then went to the kitchen with the dustpan to do some work.After working hard these days, I have to fry some finished products first to reward everyone.Otherwise, with Chun Ya and Qi Su's momentum at noon today, if they didn't taste anything, they definitely wouldn't be able to help with work.

In fact, the most difficult thing to eat fragrant pine nuts is to collect and shell them. Now that you can get raw pine nuts, frying them is a trivial matter.

But fried dry goods are not so easy to stir-fry. First, we must pay attention to the heat, so as not to burn them; second, we must choose the method of frying.

Generally speaking, there are three methods to choose from for small-scale frying at home: the first is to fry peanuts wrapped in sand, and after frying, use a rice sieve to remove the fine sand; Cook first, wait for the pine nuts to boil, then dry them and then fry them. It is raining today, so skip this method directly.

As for the third type, it is between the first two. Soak it in cold water for an hour, then steam it in a pot until the pine nuts open, then take it out, pour cold water on it, and then pour it into a large pot Medium fry dry.Although it is a bit troublesome, it is the cleanest way, and you can basically eat fragrant pine nuts in half a day.

After Ye Qing soaked the pine nuts, he took the time to go to Zhang Xiu's house to play with the children.Thinking it was almost time, he went back to the kitchen again.Wu Yan looked at the opportunity and hurriedly followed.

With Wuyan burning the fire, the two were talking and laughing in the kitchen, feeling that time passed quickly.

Ye Qing poured the pine nuts into the Shau Kei to drain the water, and sprinkled cold water on it, before saying: "Add fire, boil the water in the cauldron dry."

"it is good!"

Wu Yan is more eager to learn than Qi Su, so it is no problem to simply let him light the fire, he quickly turned up the flame and heated the cauldron to boiling hot.

Every time Ye Qing enters the kitchen, his spirit is extremely concentrated, his expression is so focused that he forgets himself.After she poured the pine nuts into the cauldron, she used the spatula flexibly with her wrist, and kept stirring them.That appearance made Wu Yan feel that she was more professional than a professional chef.

Wu Yan was dazzled by her gestures, and after an unknown amount of time, she heard her crisp voice: "It's fried!"
