"Old Kim, come and help me. Even with a small cart for grocery shopping, these 50 catties of chestnuts still make Shen Guifen tired enough.

"Where did you buy it from, what is this thing? Gui Fen, what are you doing with so many chestnuts, it's easy to accumulate food if you eat too much of this thing. ”

Looking at his mother-in-law and buying back so many chestnuts, Lao Jin really has nothing to say, Gui Fen is like this, in the current popular words, it is a bit of a hoarder, everything is ten catties and twenty catties to move home, and the daily necessities of straw paper are several bundles when you buy them, and there is a storage room at home, and there are many things in it that are about to overflow.

"I didn't buy this chestnut, it was sent by Xiao Zhou, or for the sake of your Chef Jin's face, other people's family only has five catties, just because we have you as a chef, Huang Fang specially gave our family fifty catties of chestnuts, just to let you come up with an idea, this Xiao Zhou, their company's next batch of goods are ready to sell chestnuts, and now they are soliciting plans to eat chestnuts!"

Lao Jin heard that his family had actually received fifty catties of chestnuts because of his identity as a chef, and he was actually greatly recognized in his heart, but he still said lightly: "Oh, then put your chestnuts in the kitchen first, and I'll clean them up later." ”

"I said Lao Jin, you are still working with me, don't you, give you some face and start to take Qiao with me, what do you mean to wait and clean up, start to get it for me now! I have already arranged this chestnut, two catties directly to make boiled chestnuts, Huang Fang said that this chestnut is soft and glutinous and sweet, and when Haoxuan comes back from school, it can be eaten as a snack, as for the remaining chestnuts, twenty catties are all fried into chestnut puree, and when the time comes, it will be wrapped into chestnut mud buns for the children to eat for breakfast. ”

"What about the chestnuts that are less than thirty pounds left?"

"Half of it is made into chestnut cakes, and half of it is directly peeled out of the chestnut kernels and frozen in the refrigerator, such a good chestnut, braised chestnut chicken, and chestnut stewed pork ribs are enough to eat at least half a year. ”

"You just opened your mouth, how can you deal with so many chestnuts. "Since he knew that this chestnut was brought by Xiao Zhou, Lao Jin has already made up his mind to do it himself, such a good chestnut can't be wasted in the hands of his wife like the red dates last time.

"This chestnut is very easy to peel, wait for the two of us to get it together, and it will be ready soon." ”

"So what are you waiting for, let's start now!"

Shen Guifen didn't expect that Lao Jin, who was lazy like mud on weekdays, would suddenly be so active, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while.

Lao Jin poured all the chestnuts into the two dustpans, the huge and shiny chestnut shells with a lot of fluff, the old couple gently turned the chestnuts in the dustpan, only picked out a few bad ones.

"The quality of this batch of chestnuts is really good. ”

"That is, there is nothing bad about Xiao Zhou's things. ”

"Let's divide the labor, you use scissors to go to the hard shell on the outside, and give me the soft shell on the inside. ”

"You don't have to go through the hassle to peel the chestnut kernels directly. As she spoke, as Shen Guifen's hand kept moving, a whole chestnut kernel was peeled out.

Lao Jin was stunned when he saw this, it was the first time he had seen such a well-peeled chestnut. Looking at the golden chestnut kernel in Shen Guifen's hand, Lao Jin put it directly into his mouth.

Raw chestnuts have a crunchy texture, but they can be eaten raw to produce a sweet taste, and the quality of this chestnut is definitely superb.

"Guifen, peel this chestnut for me alone, you go to the vegetable market to kill the chicken now, and today we will burn the braised chestnut chicken." ”

"You mean you're cooking tonight?"

"How many big dishes will you cook? Such a good chestnut should be served with local chicken, and the kind of fast-growing tender chicken should not be. Seeing that his chef had spoken, Shen Guifen just had to pack up and rush to the vegetable market to kill chickens.

After all, Lao Jin has been a chef for decades, and the work in his hands is still there, plus Zhou Kun's chestnuts here are relatively easy to shell, and he quickly peeled out about five catties of chestnut kernels.

In addition to chestnut chicken, Lao Jin is going to fry part of the chestnut kernels into chestnut puree according to Shen Guifen's words, and after this thing is made, whether it is steamed cake or steamed buns, it is a ready-made material.

Soon the chestnuts were steamed on the pot, and when the lid was lifted, the room was full of the aroma of chestnuts, and the golden buttery color of the chestnut kernels was appetizing, Lao Jin gently poked the chestnut kernels with chopsticks, and the chestnut kernels were instantly penetrated, leaving delicate particles of chestnuts on the chopsticks.

Lao Jin took out a boiled chestnut kernel and tasted it, the soft and glutinous chestnut kernel was sandwiched with three points of heat, so that Lao Jin remembered the days when he was an apprentice, and he followed the master around the fire to learn the practice of chestnut cake.

And now that Lao Jin has been a chef for so many years, he is no longer the thin apprentice he was back then, and he has not had such an appetite for many years.

Lao Jin, who is lazy on weekdays, seems to be a different person on the edge of the fire, staring intently at the ingredients in his hand, he pours all the steamed chestnuts into a large stainless steel basin, and crushes all the chestnut kernels with tools, and the steaming chestnuts quickly become delicate chestnut puree, Lao Jin takes out the sieve and goes through the sieve again, and soon a delicate chestnut puree is ready.

In the past, Chinese-style lard was said to be unhealthy by the children, but Lao Jin replaced it with a more milky butter, and added a little sugar to the pan and mixed it with chestnut puree.

As the butter and sugar melt, the stir-fried chestnut puree gradually becomes thinner and smoother.

The non-stick pan was turned on a low heat, and Lao Jin kept paying attention to the heat, and when the chestnut puree became thick and sticky again, the milky chestnut puree was fried.

Whether this chestnut puree is directly made into chestnut cake or wrapped into chestnut puree buns, it is sweet and delicious. It's just that Lao Jin looked at the time, why didn't Gui Fen buy a chicken for so long and didn't come back?

Shen Guifen also encountered problems when buying chickens, and there were no more local chickens in the poultry stores near the community.

"The aunts who just lived in the neighborhood next door came and bought all the local chickens in our store. ”

"The neighborhood next door, where Jinlan lives?"

"Yes, a lot of aunts came together, saying that they wanted to go back with chestnut roast chicken, and there was no local chicken in the store, so would you like to kill a foreigner?"

The foreign chicken in the mouth of the shopkeeper is the fast-growing chicken of the chicken farm, which is commonly known as the broiler.

"Forget about the chicken. Shen Guifen waved her hand, indicating that she only needed a local chicken.

So for the sake of a local chicken, Shen Guifen ran three vegetable farms to buy the chicken back, didn't it take a lot of time on the way?

Poor native chicken, maybe it didn't think that one day it would not be able to live because of chestnuts.
