Chapter 131: New Year's Goods

Most people prepare it at home, such as fried peanuts, fried soybeans, peas and broad beans, which are all grown at home, and the more you plant, the more varieties you will fry.

In addition to these, almost every family generally makes sticky rice nuts and glutinous rice nuts, as well as rice bubbles, which are mainly made of sweet potatoes, and after the autumn harvest, the sweet potatoes will be dehydrated and ready to prepare.

There are three main kinds of fruits, the simplest one is to peel the dehydrated sweet potato, then cut it into a centimeter after slicing, use a dustpan to put it in the sun until it is white, and then use a snakeskin bag to pack it up, hang it on the roof beam and store it, the reason why it is hung on the roof beam is to avoid resurgence on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is afraid of being plagued by rats.

Another kind of fruit is just cut into strips, dried in the same sun, and can be collected.

The last one is more troublesome, first peel and steam the sweet potato, then crush the ripe sweet potato, knead it into a ball and roll it into a thin layer with a rolling pin, put it in the sun until it is dry, cut it into a square or diamond shape with scissors, and then put it in the sun to dry it thoroughly.

At the same time, people also make glutinous rice nuts, that is, the glutinous rice is cooked, beaten into glutinous rice balls like rice cakes, and then rolled into thin slices, cut into slices like the fruits, dried and collected.

Then wait until the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and start to fry these fruits one after another, and the fried fruits are crisp and sweet, of course, different production processes, the taste is also different, such as the first two fried are particularly hard, and the chewing thief is laborious, and the general mouth is not good.

Although it is hard, it is fragrant to eat, this traditional process of snacks, without any additives, is naturally sweet in the mouth, will not be greasy and will only make people unable to stop, of course, that is on the premise of having a good tooth.

And the last kind of fruit is not so hard, it is a thin slice when fried, Ruofei later saw that it was sold in the snack shop, and he used to buy it back to eat. Just eating it just doesn't have the same taste as in childhood.

As for glutinous rice nuts, they are different from the sticky berries because they are made of glutinous rice, and when they are dried, they are white flakes. However, when fried, it will swell because sugar is added to it, so in addition to the aroma and taste of the glutinous rice itself, there is also a faint sweetness.

Of course, in addition to this, every must-have is rice bubbles. Rice bubbles are also divided into two kinds, one is glutinous rice, as long as the glutinous rice is soaked overnight, and then steamed half-cooked with a dustpan to dry, collect, this glutinous rice also has to be red, so there will occasionally be a few red ones inside.

The other is the rice bubble of indica rice, which is not quite the same as that of glutinous rice, which is not steamed with rice, but directly steamed with grain. Wait until it is dried before removing the husk, which is called frozen rice bubbles.

The taste of glutinous rice bubbles is crispier, while the frozen rice bubbles are harder.

In addition to being able to eat dry, you can also cook and eat, especially in the rice planting season, when the vegetables have grown, boil a pot of boiling water. Dig up a spoonful of lard, sprinkle half a spoonful of salt, throw a few slices of tender greens, and then scoop half of the rice bubbles in the jar and pour it in. Put out the fire and serve it directly in a bowl, which is also a bowl of fragrant food.

If the rice bubbles are just poured into the pot and served, then the rice bubbles in the bowl have just been soaked in boiling water and are slightly hard in the mouth, accompanied by the aroma of fried rice, and it is not enjoyable to eat in a bowl.

Of course the teeth are bad. I prefer to cook for a while, and the rice bubbles at this time will naturally not be crispy anymore, but so soft that you can swallow them into the stomach without chewing, which is especially suitable for the elderly and children with bad teeth.

Don't think that this rice bubble can only be eaten like this, in fact, there is a more popular way to eat, that is, rolling rice candy, I think this way of eating is not unfamiliar, but the average person usually eats either glutinous rice, or popcorn, not frozen rice bubbles.

When it comes to rolling rice sugar, Ruofei always feels that the outside is not as delicious as her own home, because this rice sugar is rolled with maltose, not other sugar, and the other is that the sugar is boiled thick, and the rice sugar is sweet and greasy when you eat it, while the sugar made at home is relatively thinner, and the rice is obviously stuck together, but it will not feel sweet and greasy.

If the deepest impression in Scarlet's memory is to knead the rice candy into a big one as big as an adult's fist, take a rice candy but eat it cool, it feels very enjoyable, but few people will make this kind of stupid rice candy, most of them are cut into long strips, and some particular people will also sprinkle fried sesame seeds and peanuts.

Lying on the bed and recalling these memories of the food, Ruofei suddenly couldn't lie down, quickly got up and put on her clothes, and when she got dressed and went out of the house, she saw her grandmother busy on the stove, and when she saw her coming out, she couldn't help but ask: "Xiaofei, why don't you sleep more?" What are you doing when you get up so early, and wait for your mother-in-law to call you when she is ready for breakfast." ”

Ruofei dared to say that she was hooked by the gluttonous worms in her stomach, so she haha: "Mother-in-law, I'm afraid you won't be busy, so I want to get up and help you." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Cuiying glanced at Ruofei, "What can you help, thank God if you don't trouble me." ”

Ruofei touched her nose and turned around to get toothpaste and toothbrush to prepare for washing.

Ruofei at this time in her previous life seemed to really know nothing, in fact, when many childhood people had begun to help with the family's laundry and cooking, Ruofei was still sleeping lazily and playing carefree.

Because her mother is not at home, no one will care about her at all, which is not right, after all, her grandmother has never made her suffer, and she almost eats and drinks at hand, just blindly spoiling her.

So when others started to help the family with housework, Ruofei didn't know anything, and there seemed to be nothing she should care about except playing all day long.

Ruofei doesn't know whether it's good or bad for her grandmother to do that, after all, as a child, what she pursues is just to eat well and play well, where will she think too much, that is, many years later, Ruofei thinks that grandma is the person who makes her think.

After washing her face, Ruofei doesn't want to think about these things anymore, no matter whether her grandmother dotes on her or is sincere, she is different from before in this life, after all, she is not a real child, and it is impossible for people to have the opportunity to raise themselves crookedly.

The reason why I say this is because Ruofei feels that her grandparents are also spoiling herself, but she will still be asked to do many things, such as helping to sweep the floor in the morning, and in her memory, her grandmother beat her for her laziness, which shows that her grandmother is not unprincipled and spoils her.
