Chapter 113 Fried Peanuts

Liu Li took Xiao Keke from Mrs. Huaide, and Zhang Xiuxiu hurried to move a bench for Zhang Wei and Zhang Ye to sit down.Zhang Wei saw that there was no figure of Mr. Huaide in the room, so he called out Mrs. Huaide: "Ma'am, where is Mr. Huaide?"

"He fell asleep in the back room. In the afternoon, Dr. Wang hung up two bottles of water for him. He said it was raining and he had a cold. He took medicine and drank a bowl of ginger tea at night and went to bed. It's all right, don't worry, rural people It’s normal to have a cold and a fever, and it will pass without taking medicine.”

When Mrs. Zhang Huaide said this, Zhang Wei naturally knew the situation very well, and Master Zhang was relieved.In fact, what Mrs. Zhang Huaide said is also the actual situation. If this matter is before the pavilion, drink a bowl of ginger tea, then cover two beds with a quilt, and then sweat profusely, don’t take medicine and injections at all. Without money, this medicine is really not affordable for ordinary people, and it took only two days to survive.When I couldn't bear it anymore, I went to the village doctor to get two cold medicines.

"Auntie, look, it's because of me that Mr. Huaide got sick. I" Zhang Wei felt a little bit sorry for himself. Besides, Zhang Huaide is usually very good to Zhang Wei, and Mrs. Huaide always loves to go to Zhang Wei. We went to pull weeds in the yard, baked an oil film at home, fried an egg film, and all the delicious food gave Zhang Wei a taste. To be honest, Mr. Zhang is a good cook. If you really let him go Playing with these snacks, I guess I really can't handle it, anyway, Zhang Wei has not seen Zhang Ye playing with it for so long.

"You child, it's not normal for you to get caught in the rain and catch a cold. Besides, if you hadn't given the raincoat to Xiu and the others, the two girls would definitely have gonorrhea. The aunt hasn't thanked you yet. When it was raining and thundering, you were outside in the shower, why are you so stupid, you don’t know how to cherish your own body, and you were still sleeping when the aunt visited you in the afternoon, are you feeling better now?” Huaide The aunt looked at Zhang Wei's pale face, her eyes were full of concern, and she measured Zhang Wei's forehead with her hands to see if she had a fever.It is common to get caught in the rain in summer, but it is not a good thing to be exposed to heavy rain for a long time. For ordinary people, you must catch a cold.

To be honest, Aunt Zhang Huaide really likes the child Zhang Wei, maybe she doesn’t have a boy, plus Zhang Wei is also kind, Aunt Zhang Huaide runs to Zhang Wei if she has nothing to do, Master Zhang is a big man’s family Yes, Mrs. Zhang Huaide helped with the sewing and mending during this period.Zhang Wei can naturally feel that Mrs. Zhang Huaide's kindness to him is from the heart, just like Zhang Ye is so kind.

"It's okay, ma'am, I'm in good health. I drink a bowl of ginger tea in the morning to cover myself, and then I sleep. I'll be fine at night after dinner. If you don't believe me, ask me, I ate three bowls of rice by myself. .”

"It's fine, silly boy. You can't do this in the future. You have more money than your own body. You wait here, and the peanuts fried by the aunt yesterday will be brought to everyone to eat." Huaide said. The aunt got up and took the flashlight and went to the back room to order fried peanuts.

Under normal circumstances, the peanuts and sweet potatoes eaten by the villagers are all grown by themselves. The peanuts planted on a third of the land are enough to last for a year. People don’t use these peanuts to extract oil, just for frying or boiling peanuts at home. Serve as a dish.

"Okay, okay, my aunt's fried peanuts are the best." As soon as Aunt Huaide said to serve the peanuts, Keke was eating the candy Zhang Xiuxiu brought out, and immediately called out, this girl As long as it is said to eat, and it is still what she likes to eat, she immediately regains her spirits. Besides, she has never visited any house in the village, and she doesn't recognize her life there.

Mrs. Zhang Huaide fried the peanuts, and Zhang Wei had eaten them two or three times, and they were all brought by Mrs. Huaide when she visited him. The taste was really good, even better than those sold in supermarkets.

According to Mrs. Huaide, the peanuts are quite troublesome to stir-fry, and they have to go through several processes.At the beginning, you have to prepare the ingredients and put them in the pot to cook. After the material water is cooked, put the peanuts with shells in the water for two or three days. At least the peanuts inside should be soaked in the smell of ingredients The first step is considered successful. Of course, if you want to know whether it is soaked, you have to taste the peanuts yourself.

Soaking the peanuts is the first step. The next step is to boil the peanuts. Pour the ingredients and water into the pot and cook the peanuts together. Only when the peanuts are cooked can you stop the fire, and then simmer in the pot for two hours. .Only then can the peanuts be taken out and dried in the air, and then dried in the sun. The peanut kernels must be dried in the sun before they can be put into the pot for frying.

Of course, this stir-fried peanuts are not put into the pot to set up the dry materials and ignite the fire to fry directly, but to put an appropriate amount of sand in the pot of fried peanuts first, the amount of sand depends on the amount of fried peanuts, at least It is good if the peanuts are gone. Of course, more or less is fine, but not too much. It is easy to over fry the peanuts, and the peanuts will not taste good.It is not good to put too much sand, too much wood will be wasted, so how much sand to put is also a job.The sand should be dried in the sun at least, so it will heat up quickly when fried. Of course, if you are not afraid of wasting wood, you can also use the wet sand that has just been dug out. Of course, you have to fry it until it is wet.

Wait until the sand in the pot boils before you can put the dried peanuts. Yes, it’s like boiling water and bubbling. The choking is not too high. At this time, put the sun-dried peanuts into the hot sand, and then keep stirring, relying on the heat of the sand to cook the dried peanuts.

Of course, the peanuts are already cooked, so they are fried in sand to absorb the last trace of water in the peanuts, so as to ensure the crispness of the peanuts.Although through the sandy soil, if the peanut skin has been fried, nothing can be seen, but the peanut kernels inside must have been fried, and it will be too bitter to eat. Therefore, grasping the heat is the key, and it is too early to cook. If it is too late, the peanuts will be bitter.Therefore, you must wait until the peanut skins start to turn yellow, and it is just right to cook them out at this time.

At this time, the hot sand and peanuts must be taken out of the pot together quickly. The temperature of the sand at this time must exceed 200 degrees. If it is slower, the peanuts in the pot may be fried. Therefore, the best way is Even the pot is dropped on the sieve, so that the sand leaks down the sieve, and the peanuts stay on the sieve, so when frying, you can fry in separate pots, but it is best not to fry in a big pot if you don’t have a lot of effort.

After frying a large pot, one is very troublesome to turn, and the other is not easy to handle. Originally, a large iron pot would weigh several catties. If sand and peanuts are added, it will weigh dozens of catties together. It can't be close to the body and it's not very good to exert strength.Therefore, in general, frying in separate pots is the best choice.

At this time, when pouring sand and soil, a large wooden board must be placed under the sieve, so that the hot sand will leak onto the wooden board along the holes of the sieve, and put it in the pot while it is hot and continue frying the peanuts in the pot, which can save a lot of wood. At least don't heat the hot sand, just put in peanuts and fry.
