Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 74 Spiced Peanuts
"Don't feel bad." Ye Yuan gently patted her on the back to comfort her.

But in fact, compared to Liu Man'er who didn't want to have a child so early, Ye Yuan actually wanted a child very much. After all, he was already in his 20s, and for a person his age in the village, children would be able to make soy sauce.

Many people in this village even gossip because he has no children. Some even say that Ye Tianchen is the illegitimate child Ye Yuan had with others outside.

In fact, Liu Man'er was also suspicious at the beginning, but Ye Yuan said no, so she believed him, and with the two people who came last time, Liu Man'er instinctively felt that Ye Tianchen's background was not so simple.

But he didn't want to say, that's fine, just happened to have Ye Tianchen blocking her, so she didn't have to rush to give birth to him and pass on the incense.

She had always thought so before, but when the child left, she suddenly felt a little sad.

She felt that, in fact, there would be nothing wrong with being able to have her own child early. After all, the times were different, and there were many women who gave birth to children at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

It's just a pity that many things are not what you want, and the development of things often catches people off guard.

Because Liu Man'er had a miscarriage, she lay on the bed to rest, and Ye Yuan and Fang didn't let her work. Fortunately, there were only peanuts left in the house, so pulling peanuts was not tiring. Ye Yuan almost It was pulled out early in the morning, and this year's harvest is really good. Rows of peanut vines are piled up in rows on the corridor.

The next step is to choose peanuts, which is to pick peanuts one by one from the root. Who can do this job? It looks very simple, but it requires care and patience, and after a long time of picking, it also hurts the hands.

Seeing that there were a lot of peanuts at home, Liu Man'er wanted to help, but Ye Yuan refused to let her go. She just lay on the bed these days and didn't have to do anything, as if she was taking advantage of this illness to be lazy for a few days.

Fortunately, no one in the family said anything about her, including Ye Feng, Ye He and others, let her rest, and pushed her back every time she wanted to help.

It's just that there is no need to do anything, and Liu Man'er feels a little bored. This day, she was eating salted peanuts boiled by Fang and drinking mint water, and suddenly thought that she could boil these peanuts and sell them in the town?
She doesn't know about other things, but she has always eaten peanuts and melon seeds as a popular snack in her previous life. She has tried all kinds of flavors. Although she has never made it herself in her previous life, she thinks she can give it a try. .

And she really knows a recipe for spiced peanuts, which she saw on the Internet occasionally when she was bored, and now she still remembers the general recipe of the spiced peanuts, but she forgot how to use the ingredients.

However, these things are all created by people, and they already know the general materials and have tasted the taste. She thinks that she can make it if she does it a few more times.

I just don’t know if it’s sold in this town. After all, the people in this place should not be underestimated. Handmade, the raw materials are pure natural and pollution-free, so the taste is stronger and unique.

When the health is better, go to the town to have a look. If not, you can make it and sell it yourself. If you have it, you will learn this method by yourself, and it will be pretty good to cook for your family.

Thinking of the five-spice peanuts, Liu Man'er's saliva was about to drool, but the salted peanuts cooked by Fang's were also very good. After a while, Liu Man'er ate half a basket.

Alas, just thinking that everyone is doing things and she is the only one sitting here eating, she feels a little bit guilty.

Otherwise, try to make this five-spice peanut first.

Liu Man'er stood up thinking about it, and walked to the study, she planned to write out the materials first, and asked Ye Yuan to help buy them in the town.

Pepper, cinnamon, fennel, star anise, and salt are indispensable. In addition, there is ginger meat to enhance the umami taste, and a little sugar is added.

After writing the list, Liu Man'er asked Ye Yuan to go to the town to buy the ingredients. When Ye Yuan saw the list in Liu Man'er's hand, he didn't know what she was going for, but when he saw the meat, he thought she was greedy. I wanted to make a big dish, so I went to the town to buy it without asking.

After Ye Yuan bought it back, Liu Man'er went to the kitchen to prepare to cook peanuts, it was the season to harvest peanuts, and the peanuts happened to be available at home, so Liu Man'er took a small basket and planned to try it out, even if it was not tasty, At least the people in my own family can eat it without wasting it.

Just about to start a fire, Ye Yuan stood beside her, and asked with concern: "What, are you hungry?"

"No, I want to cook some peanuts." Liu Man'er explained, "It suddenly occurred to me that when we cook some dishes, we put these prickly ash and cinnamon, and the dishes will become more delicious, so why use it to cook peanuts? ?”

"So I thought, if I cook the peanuts, our peanuts can be sold like this by myself, and I won't sell them to the peanut peddler for only two cents a catty." Liu Man'er looked up. Looking at Ye Yuan, wanting to get his approval.

It's just a basket of peanuts, so it doesn't matter if you let her play, Ye Yuan naturally won't stop him, he just sits by the stove and helps Liu Man'er light a fire, saying: "If you want to try it, then try it, it's okay, if you have What kind of work, you can just call me."

"There's nothing to do." Liu Man'er took out the chopping board as she spoke, intending to chop up the meat so that it would be more tasty.

Seeing Liu Man'er's movements, Ye Yuan hurried over. He helped her move the cutting board over, and said, "Didn't you say you have something to call me? I'll come."

"Cut a small piece of this piece of meat, but chop this piece of meat." Seeing Ye Yuan's activeness, Liu Man'er instructed without politeness.

Ye Yuan followed suit, even though he seldom cooks, but he has great strength, he chopped the meat with a few ping-pong-pong.

At this moment, Liu Man'er has put all the star anise, Chinese prickly ash, fennel, etc. into the pot. After putting the meat into the pot, she stirred it twice with a spatula. Due to the high fire, the water quickly It started to boil, and Liu Man'er put in the peanuts, and then put the lid on the pot again.

"I'll light the fire, you go do other things." Liu Man'er walked to the stove.

"It's hot by the stove, go sit at the back door, I'll call you when it's cooked." Ye Yuan drove Liu Man'er to the back door.

Well, seeing that he insisted, Liu Man'er went to the back door to be lazy.

During this time, Ye Yuan did not know where to find a wooden rocking chair, specially prepared for Liu Man'er, and Liu Man'er lay on it when she had nothing to do, although it was not as good as the sofa in the previous life, but she lay on it and rocked gently, the breeze Xu Lai is also extremely comfortable.

Wanting to work but not letting her do it, Liu Man'er could only lie down on the rocking chair and sleep. This summer is the weather of sleepiness. Liu Man'er is sitting back and blowing the natural wind. It may be because of her miscarriage and weak body. It didn't feel particularly hot, and fell asleep after a while.

When she woke up, the peanuts were already ripe.

Liu Man'er anxiously tasted one, and it tasted pretty good. The first time I tried it, it was a success, but it was a little salty, and it could be lighter. You can also put less pepper, otherwise it will be too spicy, and the middle is not so good. delicious.

After writing down the key points, Liu Man'er put the peanuts in a wooden basin, together with the spiced perfume, and she planned to soak them for two hours to let the peanuts slowly taste.

After dinner, she felt that the peanuts should be about the same, so she scooped up the peanuts with a rice cooker, passed the finely ground spices, picked out the cinnamon pepper mixed in the peanuts, and put the rest of the peanuts in the pot After frying for a while, she poured the peanuts on top of the suntan, intending to dry them.

In this way, the dried peanuts can be stored for a longer period of time, but the willow man'er is not completely dried, so such fresh and delicious things should naturally be reserved for ordinary people to eat.

The family felt that the five-spice peanuts made by Liu Man'er were quite novel. In this countryside, most people were only willing to cook those shriveled peanuts for children, and most of them boiled them with water, and more generous people boiled them with salt. , this willow man is generous, it is directly boiled with meat and spices.

The result is self-evident, several children shouted that it was delicious, Liu Man'er looked at Fang Shi, Fang Shi also nodded: "It tastes very good."

Liu Man'er heard it and asked again, "Mother, have you ever seen other people selling peanuts like ours?"

"No." Fang shook his head, "Who will make your peanuts? Others just boil them with water. Besides, even with the same recipe, the taste of the products is different."

Liu Man'er thinks about it, even if five-spice peanuts are sold here, so what, they sell theirs, and she sells her own, and she didn't copy the recipe from later generations, she spent all her time and thought to cook these peanuts.

"Since it's delicious, I'll cook more tomorrow." Liu Man'er said.

All the children applauded when they heard this, but they heard Liu Man'er say, "Bring it to the town and sell it at that time."

"Oh..." Ye Feng and the others drooped their heads.

"Don't be dejected, everyone will share the peanuts today." Liu Man'er smiled and said, "The remaining half is dried, I just want to see if the peanuts still have such a good taste after drying them." , if there are any, we can make peanuts and sell them."

"It should be a little harder, but the taste won't be much worse." Fang said, "This is you selling these boiled peanuts, can the business be successful?"

"Of course." Liu Man'er said confidently, "When the time comes, the town won't be able to sell it, so I'll go to the county to sell it. By the way, isn't this Ye Qing working in a restaurant? Let shopkeeper Tao help to promote it. .”

"It's not good to bother others all the time," Fang said conveniently.

"Don't worry, our peanuts are so delicious. Even if I take them, it's not to trouble him, but to bring him business opportunities and call customers. Besides, I don't have to sell them there. The stalls can also buy them out."

Fang Shi heard that Liu Man'er was so confident, so she didn't say anything, but changed the subject, looked at Liu Man'er, and said, "Man'er, your health is not good recently, so don't sell these. talk later."

"Yeah." Liu Man'er nodded, and said, "I just prepared this formula first, and then my body is almost in good shape now, and there is nothing wrong with it."

But it's a miscarriage. They won't really let her sit for a full month like confinement, right?
"You seem to be fine now. You'll know when you get old. You should pay more attention." Fang warned.

Liu Man'er didn't know what to do in an instant, she could only agree, "I know, I will pay attention."
