Chapter 4 Wrapping melon seeds with spices
Based on his memory, Yuan Jing effortlessly found a piece of animal skin with good air permeability and quickly sewed a spice bag containing spices. I took out some ginger from the storage room, took out the fragrant firewood with a fragrance similar to garlic, cut it into thumb-sized pieces and put it into a leather bag, and made a simple spice bag.
Fragrant firewood is used for barbecue, and I don't know if there is a garlic fragrance when I add the spice bag, and it is Yuan Jing's helpless move to add fragrant firewood to the spice bag. Because there are so few spices available.
The sunflower seeds that have just been pulled off do not have a little debris, eliminating the need for cleaning.
Yuan Jing directly poured half of the sunflower seeds into a large stone pot, then added an appropriate amount of water, salt and spice bags, and began to cook over low heat. After boiling the pot, Yuan Jing tasted the water in which the melon seeds were boiled, the saltiness was not salty or light, in order to better absorb the taste, Yuan Jing added a little more salt to the pot. When the sunflower seeds are fully cooked and flavorful, turn off the heat.
When the water in the pot is cold, remove the sunflower seeds in a small basket and drain as you go.
In order to get dried melon seeds as soon as possible, Yuan Jing planned to dry the melon seeds directly.
I found a few flat baskets made by the cheap beast man, put the drained ripe sunflower seeds into the basket, and then put the basket on the original barbecue rack, and raised a low fire under the barbecue grill to dry slowly.
Yuan Jing was busy from noon to evening, and finally made more than 20 catties of melon seeds.
The prepared melon seeds are full of grains, the appearance is black-brown, and the surface is faintly turned out of the luster of metal, and the visual sensory effect is excellent.
The taste of melon seeds is moderately salty, the fragrance is mellow, very crisp and fragrant, and the mouth is not easy to dry when eaten. The skin of the melon seeds is very thin and crispy, and when you bite into it, it is easy to swallow it.
The first bite of the taste is very amazing, not only the mellow taste of spices, but also without losing the aroma of the melon seeds themselves, chew carefully, and you can also eat a little sweet taste.
Although there are few types of spices for making melon seeds, the taste is indeed surprisingly good, which can be comparable to the taste of high-end melon seeds in the previous life.
In order to prevent the melon seeds from getting wet, Yuan Jing directly put the melon seeds into the animal skin bag for water. The animal skin bag used to hold water is the same as the waterproof plastic bag in the previous life, and the moisture-proof effect is much better than that of ordinary animal skin bags, and the melon seeds will not be damp for several months.
After dinner, Yuan Jing started the great business of making melon seeds again. Although there is no need to be in such a hurry to make melon seeds. But now Yuan Jing can't be idle.
Today, a lot of salt is used to cook melon seeds, although her cheap orc husband has saved a lot of salt, but she has not received it now, and the salt is a little less.
There was still a little water left in the pot to cook melon seeds, and she planned to use it again and cook some more cooked melon seeds.
I didn't dare to get it too late, and when the sunflower seeds were fully cooked and flavorful, I turned off the heat, washed and went to sleep. After all, she is pregnant, and staying up late is irresponsible for herself and her children.
A good night's sleep.
Yuan Jing was woken up by the sound of birds outside the stone house, took a big breath of fresh air, and said in her heart: "Sure enough, it is a paradise without industrial pollution!" ”。
Lazily stretched, Yuan Jing began to get busy again.
Yesterday, I was in a hurry to sleep, and the sunflower seeds in the pot have not yet drained. Yuan Jing, who got up early in the morning, didn't care about washing up and eating breakfast, so she hurried to drain the sunflower seeds.
According to yesterday's drying steps, the basket filled with wet sunflower seeds was easily put on the barbecue grill, and Yuan Jing started a new round of melon seed drying.
With yesterday's experience in drying melon seeds, Yuan Jing has a much easier time doing her work than yesterday. While drying the sunflower seeds, I also washed, made breakfast, and ate breakfast. She had just finished breakfast here, and the melon seeds over there were also dried.
Yuan Jing gathered the roasted melon seeds into a leather bag. This melon seed is large and plump, the skin is thin and the flesh is thick, and the weight is not much lighter after drying. It is estimated that there are nearly 40 catties of dried melon seeds. Looking at the two suns hanging outside, it is estimated that the time is only more than 10 o'clock.
At this time, the orcs had just finished breakfast. I remember that at this time, some female orcs and baby beasts would go to the clan square to walk and chat. After all, there are too few entertainment activities in the clan, and the flow of people in the clan square is relatively large, and the female orcs and small young beasts who can't stay idle like to gather there. As soon as there were more people in the square, it was a lot more lively.
And the male orcs have long been out hunting. Even if the male orcs don't go out to hunt, they rarely wander around the square, because the male orcs are different from the female orcs, and they can continue to cultivate and advance. In the twenty-first century, right is an aphrodisiac for men. In this beast god continent, males are respected by the strong, and force can be said to be an aphrodisiac for men. The male orcs are either on the way to hunting or on the way to cultivation.
Yuan Jing carried about five catties of melon seeds in one hand and a large stone bowl in the other hand and went to the square.
When Yuan Jing walked to the square, there were already many female orcs gathered there. There are also about a dozen small young beasts. The size of a puppy, fluffy, or chasing and fighting, or staying in the female's arms to poke her brain, but it is very cute.
Place the animal skin bag containing the melon seeds next to a large empty stone table, and pour a large bowl of melon seeds from the animal skin bag into the stone bowl.
Yuan Jing took the big stone bowl and walked towards the female orcs who gathered and chatted in twos and threes. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds for each female orc, and she divided them all in about the same amount, one small handful per person. There is a lot of movement here, and there are few entertainment items for everyone, so they feel that there is a lot of excitement to make up, and after a while, the female orcs in the square spontaneously come to Yuan Jing's side. Seeing that more and more people gathered, Yuan Jing picked up a melon seed and demonstrated how to eat melon seeds.
The female orcs who got the melon seeds were very happy, holding the melon seeds and smelling them, and swallowing the melon seeds like Yuan Jing. The female orc, who had not yet received the melon seeds, looked at Yuan Jing with some anticipation in her eyes. Seeing that the melon seeds in the bowl had bottomed out, Yuan Jing gave the last one to the nearest female orc. She returned to the stone table where the melon seeds had been placed, scooped out a large bowl of melon seeds, and divided them.
A group of little young beasts playing also surrounded Yuan Jing one after another. Yuan Jing distributed the melon seeds to the little young beast again, and the little young beast who got the melon seeds was very happy, grew his mouth, whimpered, threw a few melon seeds into his mouth, bit into the mouth Kaka, his mouth kept chewing, and at the end he didn't forget to spit out the melon seed shell, which looked very cute.
The female orcs and baby beasts in the square each received a small handful of melon seeds. Yuan Jing took the small bag of melon seeds and finished dividing them. Everyone is a little unsatisfied.
The first bite of melon seeds has a very amazing feeling, and the female orcs and young beasts who have tasted the taste of melon seeds immediately fall in love with the taste of melon seeds. Usually the orcs' snacks are just all kinds of wild fruits, but now that I have tasted the new snacks, I feel very novel.
