reborn peasant mother

Chapter 49

Zhong Jipeng greeted Sun Laoer to sit in the west hall. Zhong Chuanxiu hurriedly brought a bowl of hot water, specially put sugar in it, and said:

"Second Uncle, drink some hot water to keep you warm."

Sun Laoer hugged Gangzi on his lap, took the white porcelain bowl, drank the hot water in one gulp, wiped his mouth, opened the bag he brought, and took the same delicious food into Gangzi's arms, a bag of sugar lumps, Two packs of peach cakes, two packs of candied ginger slices, and one pack of homemade candied fried peanuts.

This sugar-fried peanut was considered a luxury local snack in those days.Spread coarse salt in an iron pan, clean sand is also fine, fry the peanuts over low heat, rub off the red skin on the outside, add a little water to another pan, and add white sugar to cook the syrup.

Boiling the syrup is definitely a technical task. It can’t be thinned, it won’t hang well, and it can’t be burnt, it will be bitter if it’s burnt.The syrup is boiled in the pot until it is just right, clear and viscous, and long strands can be pulled out when you pick it up with a shovel. At this time, put the peeled cooked peanuts into it and stir fry quickly, so that the sugar hangs evenly on the peanuts.After natural cooling, you can cut into pieces, or simply use a shovel to scatter the big balls of sugared peanuts, one by one, wrapped in a white layer of sugar, shiny and white, fragrant and sweet, especially When it is freshly out of the pan, you can smell the tempting sweet fragrance from a long distance.

In a local saying, it is to be eaten with the tongue tied, it is so delicious, be careful to swallow the tongue into the stomach.

Stir-fried peanuts in sugar aside, in those days, peanuts were as expensive as pork, and sugar was in short supply, so it really became a luxury.Throughout the year, there are really few who are willing to cook food for their children.

The second son of the grandson, there is this big bag in the area, it weighs two or three catties.It's one thing for the Sun family to have a better life, but it's another thing for their hearts.

"Brother-in-law, you don't have much work to do just after the new year. My mother ordered my sister to take a few children and go to her mother's house to spend a good two days. Do you think it's okay? The big quilts have been dried."

Zhong Jipeng knew that his eldest daughter had just returned to her mother's house. Could it be that Chuanxiu was left alone at home?Zhong Jipeng smiled and turned his gaze to Feng Yujiang.

"Mom Shanzi, what do you think?"

Feng Yujiang said in embarrassment: "Second brother, look at the mess in my house. The eldest daughter just came back to her mother's house today, and I plan to keep her for two days. How about I go to see my mother in a few days?"

"That's true. Let the little ones go play with me for a few days. This uncle came here with a cart on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Why don't you want to go back empty?"

Feng Yujiang was in trouble.It is a custom to call a girl in the second year of junior high school. When people come to call her, she is still enthusiastic and sincere. She should go, but she has no time to go.She thought about it and called her Erya.

"Erya, go to his house with your second uncle for two days? Grandma wants to see you."

The second grandson grinned: "My mother must be happy if the relationship is good. Five sons gave birth to 11 grandchildren for her, and the family only had a granddaughter for her by the elder brother's family. She has already left home. She Now when I see her handsome little girl, I can't wait to have her home taken away by force."

The local saying "Zoujia" means to go home. "Go to her mother's house", go back to her mother's house.

Er Ya has no reluctance. Although she is small, she has a spirit in her heart. Last time her mother ran away from home, if it hadn't been for Mrs. Sun's house, it's hard to say what would have happened.Although her grandma is not close, she seems to take her mother seriously, and she is someone who can support her mother.Relatives like this should move around more.

Erya looked at the donkey cart, and readily agreed: "Hey, I'll go, I'll go to grandma. Won't Gangzi go?"

"I'm going!" "Gangzi won't go."

Gangzi's words came out at the same time as Feng Yujiang's, and Sun Laoer immediately said, "Go both, both of you, Gangzi, and the second uncle will sleep with you in his arms at night."
