Chapter 373, Drunkard Peanuts

"Young man, if you ask me to come out with you at this time, aren't you afraid that the actors of the repertory troupe will hate you to death?" Mr. Qi touched his beard and said with a smile, he has basically been wandering around the major repertory troupes for the past half a year, and he has been trapped a lot of times, but Wen Xi is the only one who comes up and calls him away.

You must know that the old gentleman may still fight for a place for everyone to stay, and following him is an act of eating alone, no matter whether he succeeds or not, he can't stay in the group!

"They've already taken ninety-nine steps, I'm just taking one step forward, it doesn't matter if I hate me or not. Moon Hee lowered her head and put on her mask. It's still broad daylight during the summer vacation, and if you are recognized by fans and run after him when you walk on the street, the old gentleman may not be able to catch up with him, so it's better to be careful......

"Not being envied is mediocrity, and the opportunity is fought for by yourself. The old gentleman only said two words, and then followed Wen Xi to the small courtyard by the moat.

"Brother is back, eat watermelon!" The rookie flew down from the high branches, since moving over, the rookie and Xiaoice took turns standing on the branch on duty, Jiao Yun teased other dogs across two streets and was called out by Xiaoice, for which Jiao Yun was annoyed and angry, and blasted Xiaoice to the tree as soon as he was free, and then nestled in the shade to sleep. If it weren't for Xiaoice being a system elf, he would have been dried by a bird long ago.

"I've heard that your two parrots are quite smart, do they know Morse code, can they sing little songs?" The old gentleman teased the rookie with a certain nature, but the rookie tilted his head and couldn't understand what the Morse code and the little song were.

"The end of the world ~ looking for a bosom friend ......" Xiaoice suddenly opened his voice, Wen Xike had never heard Xiaoice sing, let alone such an old song.

"Good!" the old gentleman applauded very facefully. Xiaoice is also crazy personally, and he sang several excerpts from Peking Opera for face, and what "Guifei Drunk" and "Ode to Pear Blossom" will have one or two sentences.

Wen Xi can be sure that there must be a Peking Opera master near their home!

"Sir, sit down and have a sip of tea, and I'll go and prepare a snack for you. Wen Xi brought a few plates of peanuts and melon seeds and put them in the living room, leaving Xiao Ling to talk to the old gentleman.

"Are you going to be an alcoholic peanut? Then I have to go and see, I have long heard that the best artist in the circle belongs to you. The old gentleman stood up with a smile, he followed Wen Xi out not entirely to eat a few peanuts. As far as he knew, there was no drunkard peanut that could be made in a few hours, and the old gentleman wanted to see if Moon Hee was lying to him to achieve his goal.

"It's a coincidence, the peanuts were frozen in the refrigerator yesterday, and they were just right to take them out today. Wen Xi put on his apron and washed his hands carefully with his head down. He said that it was not a joke to invite the old gentleman to eat peanuts, and even went to the market a few days ago to pick peanuts himself, and went home to peel peanuts for the night.

"Oh?" Seeing that Wen Xi was really carrying a large bag of peanuts from the freezer, Mr. Qi believed that Wen Xi had been prepared.

"I have a few elders who usually like to drink a little wine, and they will definitely be disliked by their teachers and grandmothers when they send wine, and it is different to send wine and food, so I will prepare a little more every time. Wen Xi smiled and poured oil into the iron pot, the old gentleman didn't think the kitchen was smoky, so he didn't leave standing at the door.

Wen Xi gently stirred the peanut wood in the pot while chatting with the sky, and the rookie smelled the fragrance and thought that Wen Xi was preparing rations for him, and also flew over to guard Wen Xi.

Gradually, the peanuts had been fried to a slight yellow, Wen Xi changed to a low heat and fried them slowly, and without saying a few words, he fished out the peanuts.

"I saw that everyone else was fried until they were golden brown. The old gentleman couldn't help but say, the peanuts used for wine should be crispy to be delicious, and the peanuts that have not been fried are not crispy!

"The last bit will be fried and eaten for you when the time comes. Wen Xi didn't refute, handed a cloth mask to the old gentleman to put on, and he was about to start stir-frying.

The oil that fried the peanuts carried the aroma of peanuts, Wen Xi scooped some oil and poured it into the wok, turned on the high heat and put the spicy peppercorns to stir-fry until fragrant. The smell of chili pepper and pepper made the rookie flutter his wings and fly away, and the old gentleman sneezed several times with his mask, but he couldn't bear it, so he hid in the living room to drink tea.

Wen Xi saw that the taste was almost the same, poured the peanuts that were drained out first into the pot and stir-fried, waited for the peanuts to be coated with a layer of red oil, then added salt and sugar and stir-fried, and finally added a spoonful of peppercorn noodles when they were about to come out of the pot and mixed well.

"I guess it's almost good!" When Wen Xi went out with peanuts, the old gentleman was waiting at the door. Although the old gentleman can't cook, at least the color and flavor can still be tasted, just looking at the color and taste of this plate of peanuts, the old man knows that it will not taste bad!

"This plate is the kind that doesn't have chili powder added and doesn't have fried crisp. Wen Xi put down the plate, he heard that the old gentleman often stayed in Sichuan Gui all year round when he was young, and he liked spicy food the most. Ke Wenxi thinks that the old gentleman is old, and he still needs to pay a little attention to his diet, after all, he is the age when he has to control the amount of alcohol, and peanuts should not be so heavy.

"Then I'll eat some first, and I'll drink when your pot is ready." The old gentleman took the plate in Wen Xi's hand and went to find chopsticks by himself.

Wen Xi smiled and shook his head, the old gentleman's expression was disgusted, yes, but you have to play a full set of acts, it's okay for you to stare at the peanuts, I'm afraid that if I don't give a split, it's okay?

When making the second serving of drunkard peanuts, Wen Xi also put on a mask himself. This peanut needs to be filled with more spices such as chili powder and pepper noodles, the taste is too strong, Wen Xi is afraid that he will not be able to bear it, and now is not the time to have systematic protection.

The fried crispy peanuts meet the spicy seasoning, how can a red and hot trance be described, just by showing off, he will throw off the plate of peanuts a few streets away! Wen Xi ate one by himself, and he also felt that he needed to eat it with a little wine to taste enough.

"That's the smell! Wine!" The old gentleman immediately put down his chopsticks when he smelled the smell, he still likes to eat spicy and spicy drunkard peanuts!

"Isn't the wine right behind you?" Wen Xi opened the wine cabinet, this bottle of drunkard wine was given to him by Di Ming during the Chinese New Year, saying that there were no good things to bring at home, this bottle of wine was good, and it was good to drink it for yourself or give it away for a few years. Wen Xi had just turned sixteen years old, and he was thinking about opening the bottle at the eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, but now giving it to Mr. Qi of the Third Department is not a burial of this bottle of drunkard's wine.

"Puree, good thing!" the old gentleman's eyes lit up, and he carefully poured a small cup of wine, sandwiched a peanut, and then took a sip of wine. Half an hour passed, and the old gentleman only drank three cups of wine, and he didn't eat much peanuts, and he had already put chopsticks to wipe his mouth.

"It's really fun today!" After Mr. Qi finished speaking, he took off the pendant on his shirt and put it on the table, "I didn't bring a gift for the first time, so you can take this! It's not early today, I'll go back first, and I'll come to your house to eat peanuts when I'm free." ”

"That's so embarrassing!" Xiao Ling felt embarrassed, but Wen Xi put the pendant away, so Xiao Ling didn't know what to say next.

"Wait, I've got you covered. Wen Xi took out a sealed porcelain jar, filled a small jar of peanuts for the old gentleman, put it in a bag of fried peanuts and carefully tied it and handed it to the old gentleman.

"I fried these peanuts in tung oil myself, they are sweet and delicious, and there is enough fat, so you can eat a few when you drink tea. Wen Xi saw that the peanut beans he had placed for the old gentleman before had not been touched much, so he knew that the old gentleman was thinking about eating drunkard peanuts and missed out on good things. You must know that when the tung oil peanuts were just fried, Jiao Yun walked over to eat two when he was fine, and when he went home to lick Old Man Jiao's hands, he was still sniffed with his mouth!

"Yo, you actually got tung oil?" Mr. Qi didn't expect Wen Xi to have such a great ability, you must know that the tung tree grows in the mountain, except for the forest ranger, ordinary people dare not enter the mountain!

"Just get a few taels. "Wen Xi is just such a small bottle, which was given to him by Old Man Jiao when he went to Jiaoyuan last time.

"Oh, then give me some more peanuts. Seeing that Wen Xi didn't mean to give it to him at all, the old gentleman could only stretch out his hand to ask for it.

"No, I've fried so much this time, and there is a master. Wen Xi simply refused, Xiao Ling opened his mouth and froze in place, but the old man of the Third Department Qi laughed happily, said hello and left.

"Xixi, the old gentleman has spoken, why don't you ......" Xiao Ling was puzzled, it doesn't matter if the elders send it later, the old gentleman of the third department is here, but there is no such shop in this village!

"I have given him my share, and there is no more. Wen Xi shook his head and put the peanuts in a small blue and white jar. While Fu's mother hadn't come home from work yet, Wen Xi rode his bicycle to deliver food from door to door.

"Teacher, what kind of good things are you holding? "The little apprentice of the three signs is a little funny when he looks at the old gentleman's food protection, the old gentleman is all good, but he likes to eat alone if he has good appetizers, but he is searched out by the master every time!

"I just came out of Wen Xi's house, and that kid packed me with something good. The third sign patted the bag in his hand, and when the time comes, it's a big deal to give a few peanuts to his wife to eat, and the peanuts must be kept! Such delicious peanuts, I don't know if I can eat them next time I come to Wenxi's house......

"I heard that his cooking is very delicious!" the little apprentice praised the situation, but he didn't know that the old gentleman glared at him with a look.

"What do you say, Wen Xi is an actor, what does it mean for you to praise an actor's cooking skills? His performance is very dazzling and explosive!"

"Have you taken a fancy to him?yo, the pendant has also been given away?" The little apprentice rarely sees the old gentleman praise the acting skills of young actors, and recently it was the casting of the old gentleman, so it was inevitable that he would think more about it. Taking advantage of the time to wait for the traffic light, the little apprentice turned his head and looked, and the script that the old man was carrying was gone!

"Look, it's not bad, I gave him the opportunity, whether he can seize it depends on his own. The old gentleman found a tea box and put the things Wen Xi gave him in, and suddenly remembered that the drunkard peanuts were in the jar, what if they were scattered?

Seeing that he was at the door of the house, the old man had not found the tools, and the old lady was walking the dog outside, so the old man could only get out of the car with a depressed face.

"Yo, it's too early to go back today!" the old lady naturally took the bag in the hand of the old gentleman. You don't have to guess to know that what can be hidden in the bag by the old gentleman must be a heavy food.

"Someone else gave me peanuts...... It's really peanuts! Do you know Wenxi? It's the one who plays Zhuang Zedong, and when I met him today, he gave me some peanuts. The old gentleman hurriedly followed the old lady into the house, and his mouth kept explaining.

But the old lady went directly to the kitchen with her things, and she didn't know what would happen later.

"Teacher, come back next time you're full. The little apprentice helped the old gentleman boil water to make tea, and every time at this time, the old gentleman liked to drink a few cups of strong tea to get off the fire. I'm anxious and angry, if I don't drink some strong tea, I'll get fire sores!

"It's okay, I still have peanuts without peanuts, it's okay......" The old gentleman didn't look like he was okay at all, his eyes stared straight at the kitchen.

After a while, the old lady came out, and there were tung oil peanuts given by Wen Xi in the nut plate, and the can of peanuts was locked by the old lady in the glass cabinet of Moutai.

"Hey, hey, it's just a little peanut, there's really nothing you can't eat. The old gentleman smiled so much that his teeth were exposed, which meant that he would eat peanuts when he drank!

"This peanut is fried well, and the oil used is also good, I haven't eaten fried peanuts in tung oil for more than ten years. The old lady peeled peanuts and missed.

The best fried peanuts in tung oil not only need good tung oil and good peanuts, but also good cooked sand.

When Wen Xi participated in the camping of the comprehensive skills competition, he fell in love with the river sand there, and later took the time to go again, screened out the river sand with a diameter of about 2mm and evenly mixed it, and came back to fry it before it could be used to fry peanuts, melon seeds and other snacks. Cooking sand is more expensive than frying peanuts, and in order for the sand to transfer heat evenly to the food, the sand must first be blackened. The process of river sand turning from white to black is the result of tung oil wrapping sand particles evenly heated and then volatilized.

Good cooked sand meets tung oil can produce twice the effect with half the effort, not only the color of the fried goods is beautiful and not scorched, even if a large pot is fried, there is rarely uneven raw and cooked situation.

Wenxi's tung oil peanuts are fried with cooked sand, and they are all things that the old lady only ate when they were young, so it's no wonder that the old lady misses it.

"People have given you so many things, have you given you a gift in return?" the old lady took a sip of tea to moisten her mouth, and then raised her eyes to look at the old gentleman and said.

"Gave a greeting gift. "The old gentleman is still counting on a little wine in the evening or something, and he is naturally very well-behaved at this time.

"That's fine. The old lady nodded, and then went about peeling peanuts.

Time always flies very slowly when looking forward to it, and the old gentleman finally looks forward to the old lady going to the kitchen to cook dinner at half past five, and then takes it upon himself to take out the wine cup and put it on the table.

The old lady didn't say anything when she served the food, she silently poured him a glass of wine, and there was a spice plate on the table, which was filled with the drunkard peanuts given by Wen Xi. The golden drunkard peanuts with a few chili flakes are far from the red, colorful, numb and spicy drunkard peanuts that the old gentleman ate at Wenxi's house. The old gentleman didn't need to put down chopsticks to know that this was the first pot of peanuts fried by Wenxi.

"Xixi, that director of Three Trees is from Sichuan Province, and it is said that he still has some ears, could it be that he has small ears? The sweeping aunt of the drama club said to Wen Xi.

Sichuan Province out of the ears of the poop, just like the master does not like the master to eat heavy food, presumably the old gentleman's wife will not like the old man of the three departments to eat spicy drunkard peanuts at a great age!

As a result, this low-profile version of the drunkard peanuts appeared on the dinner table of Mr. Qi, the third department......
