Chapter 435: Sugar-fried chestnuts

When I was about to get to the door, I met Mr. Li who came out of the yard with his hands behind his back, and saw Zhang Taiping leading so many little dolls and picking up a lot of things, and asked with some curiosity: "What is this doing?" ”

Zhang Taiping replied with a smile: "I went up the mountain and took a trip to chestnuts." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info/. qΒ5\\”

"Is it the hairy chestnut in the mountains?" Mr. Li also lived here for a while, and he also knew that the villagers called the chestnuts on the mountain hairy chestnuts.

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Well, it's the hairy chestnuts on the mountain, which are ripe at this time, and I took the little dolls to beat some on the side mountains." ”

Li Laoye nodded and left with his hands behind his back.

Back in the yard, Zhang Taiping first asked Cai Yazhi to kill two big watermelons for the dolls to quench their thirst.

After eating the watermelon in a hurry, Zhang Taiping asked the little dolls to get their own bags, and gave each of them some pecans, and quickly let them go home, which caused the family to worry after dark.

Cai Yazhi came over and looked at a bag of half pecans and two bags of chestnuts and asked, "Where did you pick it?" "Cai Yazhi used to go to the mountains to pick these things, basically those places, pick them this year and come back next year.

Zhang Taiping didn't know that he had picked them there before, and said: "I found it under the leadership of Xiaoxi and Xiaozi, and the general direction is in the west, and the specific direction is not recorded." ”

In the end, there was still a bag left, and Cai Yazhi asked, "What's in this?" ”

"Wuling'er."

"It's all red?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "When looking for chestnut trees, Xiaoxi actually found a piece of Wulinger vine, so he picked some by the way, and there was a wild grape vine at that time, but there were not many grapes, and it was not easy to bring back, so there was no net bag to put in it." ”

Cai Yazhi touched Xiaoxi's feathers and praised it: "There is also Xiaoxi's credit." Then he said to Zhang Taiping, "What kind of dinner do you have at night?" ”

Zhang Taiping waved his hand and said, "You should ask others this question, I don't have any requirements, you can eat whatever you do." Seeing that Cai Yazhi was about to turn around, he said again, "By the way, there is one more thing, I actually saw a black blind man in the border mountain today, don't enter the mountain easily." ”

"The black blind man ran out?" The memory of the last time the black blind man had caused her was still fresh, and she nodded and said, "I won't go into the mountain, and there's nothing to do when I go in." ”

"Well, that's fine."

Fan Ming and Yaya came over and asked, "Big brother, how do you peel that thorn skin on the outside of the chestnut?" ”

Zhang Taiping said: "I'll get this later, you first talk about the five ling'er in the bag to take out and clean some of it, send a little to the old man in the back, and then send a little to Mu Hongyu and the two of them." ”

Fan Ming did as Zhang Taiping instructed, and when he came back, Zhang Taiping had already poured all the chestnuts into the yard and gently patted them with the back of a shovel.

Yaya and Fan Ming squatted next to them and watched.

Zhang Taiping smiled and said, "Aren't you two tired?" What's so nice about this. ”

The two girls smiled and didn't leave. Zhang Taiping shook his head and didn't say anything more, patted it again, turned it over and slapped it again, and then packed all the chestnut buds into a pile, and said to the two girls next to him: "If you are not too tired, take a look at the chestnuts in these chestnuts and see if there are any chestnuts that have not been beaten." ”

After cleaning up, Zhang Taiping asked Fan Ming to take out a plastic bag and said, "You two use the bag to pack some and send it to every day." ”

Fan Ming took out another bag and said, "Send some to Da Nier too?" ”

Zhang Taiping nodded and said, "Whatever you want." ”

After the two girls led the lion out, Zhang Taiping put all the chestnuts into the dustpan, so that some of them were fried at night, and after giving some to others, it would be over, so there was no need to think about storage.

Then he dug a pit in the orchard with a shovel, spread a layer of bricks underneath and around it, poured all the pecans into it, filled it with soil, and after four or five days took it out and dried it to eat.

When Fan Ming came back, she brought the chestnuts back, and her goddaughter Tiantian little girl came over with her.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Taiping asked.

"Sister Lu said that she didn't know how to fry chestnuts, so she helped fry them when we fried them." Fan Ming replied.

Zhang Taiping nodded: "That's fine." ”

Fan Ming asked, "Then big brother, when are we going to fry?" ”

"What? Can't wait? Zhang Taiping asked with a smile.

Fan Ming nodded and said, "Yes, I have eaten fried chestnuts with sugar before, and now I feel delicious when I think about it." ”

"Now it's cooking in the pot, and you can't fry it until you have finished eating and cleaned up the pot." Zhang Taiping smiled and said.

Before eating, Zhang Taiping poured the chestnuts to be fried into a large basin, submerged all the chestnuts with water, and then put white sugar on them to soak the chestnuts in the sugar water.

Originally, the method of frying chestnuts was to cut a hole in each chestnut with scissors, and only put white sugar in the process of frying, but now that there are so many hairy chestnuts so small, it is a bit too urgent to cut them one by one with scissors, so Zhang Taiping used this method to let the sweetness into the pulp.

During the meal, Zhang Taiping gave the old man a small amount of wild grapes he brought back and said, "This wild grape is for you, see if you can use it." ”

The old man looked at the wild grapes in the basket and said, "It's going to be used these days." Then he asked, "Did you go into the mountains today?" ”

Zhang Taiping nodded and said, "Well, I led a group of children around the side today." ”

After eating, Fan Ming, who had never taken the initiative to wash the dishes in the past, was very active in helping to clean the pot today, and then urged Zhang Taiping to hurry up.

"Look at you're in a hurry." Zhang Taiping reluctantly got up from the chair, poured the sand fished up from the river into the pot, and then baked it on a high fire below.

Fan Ming was puzzled and asked, "What is this doing, big brother?" ”

Zhang Taiping replied: "First dry the sand in the pot." When frying chestnuts, you can't pour the chestnuts directly into a dry pan and bake, so that the skin of the chestnuts is easy to burn and the flesh inside is not cooked. ”

When the sand in the pot was burned red and the heat wave could be clearly felt outside, Zhang Taiping scooped up the chestnuts soaked in the sugar water and poured them into the clay pot.

Cai Yazhi wanted to help stir-fry, Zhang Taiping said: "Let's come, although this is busy working next to the pot stove, it is a physical work." He was right, every time the shovel went down, he had to shovel up the chestnuts and sand, so that it was a lot of physical work to go back and forth without stopping.

Half an hour later, there was a popping sound coming from inside the pot.

Fan Ming asked nervously, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's almost ripe." Then he said to Cai Yazhi, who was burning the fire below, "Put the fire smaller." He turned out a chestnut and handed it to Fan Ming, saying, "Peel it and taste it, is it ripe, be careful that it is very hot." ”

Fan Ming picked it up with his hand and put it down, and only after blowing did he peel it off, the small kernel was divided into three parts and stuffed into the innermost part of the three people.

Cai Yazhi tasted it and said, "It's almost." ”

Zhang Taiping nodded and said, "Don't build a fire in it anymore, just let this firewood finish burning." ”

After turning off the fire, Zhang Taiping stir-fried for another two minutes before stopping, Fan Ming wanted to pick it up in the pot with his hands, he quickly stopped it and said: "The sand on it is still hot at this time, this is much higher than the temperature of boiling water, and a piece of skin will be scalded off when it touches your hand." ”

Fan Ming said embarrassedly: "I'm just going to the top one." ”

"What if I accidentally touch my hand?" Zhang Taiping deliberately said with a straight face: "Wait a little longer, separate the sand and chestnuts, and it's not too late to eat." ”

After the sand inside returned to normal temperature, Zhang Taiping separated the sand from the chestnuts, and said to Cai Yazhi: "Later, you can send some to Old Man Li and Old Man Tang on the other side." I'm going to send Tian Tian back, and I'm even going to send some to the village chief. ”

Zhang Taiping sent Tian Tian back home first, along with a bag of freshly fried sugar chestnuts.

Lu Feng was still a little unnatural when he saw Zhang Taiping alone at night, and he didn't say anything after taking the chestnuts. Zhang Taiping understood what she was worried about, and did not stay longer. It's just that what he didn't know was that after he left, Lu Feng looked at his back and was indeed a little distracted.

Zhang Taiping still carried a large bag of unfried chestnuts in his hand and walked towards the old village chief's house.
