Chapter 34: The Best Peanuts (Ask for Recommendation Votes and Rewards)
Chen Yang also pulled out a handful of peanuts, looked at the fruitful peanut vines, and said with a smile: "Jiajia, and then like this." ”
He grabbed the end of the peanut vine and gently shook his arm to knock the sticky peanut at the root of the peanut vine to the ground with a safe force.
The plump peanuts clattered against the muddy ground that was not hard, making a dull sound. As soon as they fall together, there is always a lot of soil that falls off the peanut shell because it can't stand the knock.
As a result, the pale yellow peanut shells were exposed to the air like golden bumps.
They don't refract golden light from the sun's rays.
It's not that mysterious.
They are all serious peanuts, and even if they are not wrapped in soil, they still have a lot of mud foam.
But it is precisely because of the layers of soil that peanuts can grow and become a delicacy in the world.
However, to be honest, the best state of peanuts is not saltwater peanuts, nor fried peanuts, nor peanuts cooked by various other methods, but peanuts that have just been pulled out of the ground.
From germination and rooting to growth and maturity, the peanut has always buried its fruit deep in the ground and been nourished by the earth for a long time.
So when they are just out of the dirt and out of the air, they will give off a fresh and charming smell.
The taste is not only the natural beauty of the earth, but also the fullness and sweetness of fresh peanuts. At this time, don't think the peanut is dirty, quickly tear one off the peanut vine, and with a pinch of your thumb, you can easily pinch the flowering hard-shell coat, revealing its pink and tender body.
Aim the peanuts in your mouth, tilt your head upwards, and pour the peanuts into your mouth, and two or three juicy peanuts will fall into your mouth with some of the mud foam that occasionally falls.
Although the freshly unearthed peanuts are delicious, once they are left from the soil for too long, the freshness of the peanut kernels will be greatly reduced after the water has slightly volatilized. So much so that when people eat raw peanuts sold in the market, they will feel that the taste is very ordinary.
"Delicious, delicious, delicious. Jiajia said inarticulately.
Chen Yang turned his head to look at Jiajia......
Where is this still the wheat-colored Jiajia with delicate facial features, this is clearly an arched pig.
Look at the mud around her mouth and the tip of her nose, and even her eyebrows are covered with a lot of mud, but she is not an arched pig.
"Jiajia, are you eating mud or peanuts?" Chen Yang looked at Jiajia with a wolf-gobbling appearance, and asked with a smile, "Which is better, mud or peanuts?"
Jiajia shook his head, swallowed the sweet peanut puree in his mouth, and stretched out a small hand to pick up the peanut vine that had just been pulled out of the ground.
She threw away the peanut vine again, grabbed a peanut in one hand, then looked left and right, and felt that the peanut in her left hand was relatively large, and it was three kernels, so she raised her left hand and stuffed half of the peanut stained with soil into her mouth.
This is a must-have skill for rural children: peeling peanuts with bare mouths!
Because pinching the peanuts with your thumb is laborious and slow, children always like to peel peanuts with their bare mouths.
The angular head of the peanut is sent between the teeth, and with a light bite, the seamless peanut shell is cracked. At this time, with a gentle pinch with your fingers, you can often pinch a large slit, if you can't do it, you can bite two more bites, and then simply cooperate with both hands, you can send two or three plump peanut kernels into your mouth.
Jia Jia is a veteran, and this series of movements is not only coherent, but also fast. After three or two strokes, he broke the two peanuts in his hand and sent them into his mouth.
Of course, I ate a mouth full of mud again.
Chen Yang asked again, "Jiajia, is this soil delicious?"
Jiajia shook her head from side to side, focusing only on eating, not wanting to speak at all.
She picked up the peanut vine that she had just thrown on the ground......
However, this time I didn't pick peanuts to eat, but learned from my brother's appearance of throwing peanuts and knocking on the ground just now, shaking the peanut vine hard and knocking it on the ground hard.
The peanuts with the dirt exploded like fireworks in an instant, fleeing everywhere, and one smashed directly on her head.
Seeing this, Chen Yang laughed and said: "Jiajia, it's not like this, it's not like this, don't use so hard, just use a little bit of strength, otherwise, you will knock these peanuts everywhere, and you will have to spend time picking them up." ”
"Hee-hee. Jiajia smiled stupidly, then threw down the peanut vine in her hand, and squatted on the ground like a chicken looking for peanuts.
After picking up the peanuts, she plucked another peanut and tried a few times according to her brother before finally getting the hang of it.
Half an hour later, seeing Jiajia being sunburned and sweating profusely, Chen Yang said distressedly: "Jiajia, if you don't do this, don't pull peanuts, can you go over there and sit and pick peanuts?"
He pointed to Xiao Qian's location.
There was no shade in the area, but because of the snakeskin bags he had propped up, the sunlight could not shine directly.
Therefore, it will definitely be more comfortable to sit there picking peanuts than to pluck peanuts under the scorching sun.
Jiajia glanced at the location of her little nephew, then withdrew her gaze and landed on the brother next to her
My brother was shirtless, covered in stinky sweat, and looked so pitiful.
She shook her head and said childishly: "Don't, don't pick peanuts, I want to help my brother pull peanuts." ”
Chen Yang smiled and said: "Jiajia, you are stupid, picking peanuts is not so hot, you see what you look like." ”
Although it is not yet noon, the gaze of this autumn tiger is very vicious at any time.
Jiajia's face was flushed with sunburn, and the sweat from her scalp had soaked her hair. The lid of the pot, which was still a little fluffy, has been directly attached to the scalp.
"I'm not afraid of the heat. Jiajia said while plucking peanuts, "Let's quickly pluck peanuts, after plucking, we can rest." ”
Chen Yang raised his eyes and looked at the five or six terraced fields in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "Jiajia, no matter how hard the two of us try, we can't pull out all these peanuts in one day, you are obedient, go pick peanuts." ”
"No, I'm going to pull peanuts. Jiajia is a stubborn little scoundrel, "I don't want to pick peanuts, I'm going to pull peanuts here, so maybe my brother can finish pulling them a day earlier." ”
The truth is such a truth, but seeing that Jiajia was almost dried by her father-in-law, Chen Yang was still very distressed.
Although Jiajia is only a cousin, she is better than her own sister.
Although the age gap between the two is 20 years, in the past, Jiajia liked to be his little heel the most.
He thought about it, then looked at Jiajia with a begging face and said, "Jiajia, you are obedient, go and help my brother watch Xiaoqian, you see him lying there alone, how lonely and pitiful." You take some peanuts over, and while helping my brother pick peanuts, I take care of Xiaoqian, so that my brother doesn't have to pick so many peanuts at night, and he can go to bed early, okay?"
