For the Chinese New Year, the sake brewing is to be made, and the rake is also to be steamed. 1357924?6810ggggggggggd

As for melon seeds and peanut candy, this is even more to prepare.

In the days leading up to the New Year, even in these mountain villages and mountains, there will occasionally be a lot of merchants and the like who come to shout.

Those dry goods and fabrics are constantly picking up and sending them down. The prices of these merchants in the countryside are the same as those of the shops in the city.

Some are even cheaper than those in the shops.

Because of this, the business of the merchants is getting better and better.

Every time such a merchant comes to the village, it is indispensable to attract a group of children to watch.

Kids can also play freely. However, there is so much for adults to prepare.

Erya is now ordered by Li Hongmei to do what she can.

For example, wrapping rake, such as making wine.

"That's what this thing does, but it doesn't seem to work without koji."

Mother Zhao smacked her lips and watched with some envy as Li Hongmei made these wines.

Erya, who was full of joy, licked her little mouth, "Sister-in-law, I haven't heard of the art of winemaking." Unexpectedly, we can still eat this stuff this year with my sister-in-law's light. ”

Li Hongmei hurriedly threw her a pitiful look, "Yo, our little poor child has never even eaten wine, it's really pitiful." Let me tell you, let's make dumplings in the first day of junior high school, eat glutinous rice balls in the second year of junior high school, eat pot in the third junior high school, make cakes in the fourth year of junior high school, and ...... fifth day of junior high school."

She wrenched her fingers and kept arranging the next food, but she could slander Erya.

"Sister-in-law, it's good to have you, I can get some food."

Li Hongmei was interrupted, turned around, and scolded her with some displeasure, "Mother, when you look at your daughter, just remember what to eat, and don't look at the benefits next to me." ”

Zhao Mule didn't squeak, just smiled at the two of them.

Anyway, she likes such a funny aunt and sister-in-law.

The rake is done, and the kimchi is ready.

Of course, some pickles are also to be made.

Those greens and stuff, as early as the winter, I cut some of them and dried them half-dry, and it just so happened that I pickled them all today.

Finally, it's dry goods.

After tasting the dry goods here, Li Hongmei said that she couldn't eat it.

There are two kinds of melon seeds, one is raw and the other is cooked.

Roasted peanuts can be said to be like these two kinds.

"This fried food doesn't taste very good, although the original ecological thing is good, but you can't just eat white flavor like this. No, I'd better think of ideas and fry some myself to eat. ”

At that moment, Li Hongmei carried these bought raw melon seeds, ready to throw off her hands and feet.

Garlic, there are a lot of them at home. Even if it's not enough, you can look for it outside.

This she prepares to use for sautΓ©ing garlic peanuts, which is her favorite snack in modern times.

Melon seeds, just make spiced ones.

I bought a lot of spices in the pharmacy a few years ago, and used them to cook melon seeds and then put them in the pot to dry.

Just do it, Li Hongmei began to be busy cooking melon seeds on this day, and when she was free, she felt that the sugar cubes here were not too tasty.

It's just some black sugar cubes, and they don't smell good.

"Why don't I make some more rice candy or something?" Or rather, make some peanut candy. ”

Thinking like this, Li Hongmei began to roll up her sleeves again, ready to boil sugar.

Don't say she's an all-powerful cook.

In modern times, this person is a good eater.

As long as you eat something, you will understand it thoroughly.

I don't understand, Baidu will do it again.

Because of this, in modern times, she learned to cook a lot of food and snacks. Otherwise, now I can really only stare dryly, just look at the brown sugar and eat it.

Boiling sugar is a technical job.

This step is very popular, and it can't be fried for too long.

Earlier, I asked Er Ya and San'er to peel and fry a few crispy pecans, as well as sesame seeds, as well as peanuts and melon seeds, and other dry goods, and put them together and stir-fry them at about the same time.

After turning over a few times, the sugar color and fragrance came out, so I quickly scooped it up and put it in a clean dill that had been prepared a long time ago.

Solid, cool, cut into chunks.

San'er, who had been waiting for a long time and was anxious like a monkey, watched Li Hongmei cut the sugar cube into small pieces, "Lady, is it delicious, is it delicious." ”

Li Hongmei deliberately teased him, "It's not delicious." ”

San'er was unhappy, "Sister-in-law, you haven't eaten anything, why don't you say it's not delicious." ”

Li Hongmei deliberately teased the little uncle again, "Then San'er, do you think this is delicious or not?" ”

Qian Xiaopang, who was also waiting on the side, replied loudly with Liu Zi'an, "I think it should be delicious." ”

San'er is even more affirmative, "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's absolutely delicious." I just smell it and I think it's delicious. ”

On the side, Zhao's mother also took a sip of the crispy taste of sugar that had not disappeared, "Well, I also think that this will definitely be delicious." I didn't expect the Dashan family to be so ingenious. Hehe, you monkeys, you're blessed. ”

A few children were happy, and Erya stared at Li Hongmei cutting candy cubes without blinking, "I said sister-in-law, you should hurry up, I swallowed all my saliva directly." ”

Li Hongmei's elegant movements paused, and she coquettished Zhao's mother a little helplessly, "Mother, listen to your daughter's words, does this seem to be what a girl can say." Be reserved, be reserved. ”

Erya rolled up her sleeves aggrievedly, "In front of the delicious food, I don't know what to 'stalemate', I only know that I want to eat and eat and eat ......"

Qian Xiaopang and Liu Zi'an are both happy. Looking at Erya's eyes is extraordinarily gentle.

Finally, Li Hongmei announced that she could eat it.

A few small hula are on together.

Seeing that these little ones were all carrying candy cubes into their mouths, Li Hongmei also hurriedly handed the candy to Zhao's mother.

"Mother, you taste, these monkeys, they all said, if there is food, you must first follow the old people and children, and see, and the last one stares at the food, and all the rules have been forgotten."

Zhao Mu happily continued, "I'm old and have bad teeth, let these monkeys eat them." That is, during the Chinese New Year, you can eat these things, and there is usually no such thing. ”

"Well, it's delicious, sister-in-law, it's the best candy I've ever tasted."

The second girl screamed.

After San'er sucked his hands clean, he hurriedly grabbed the candy cube in a hurry.

Liu Zi'an, a young master who is used to being elegant, also grabbed the candy cube and sent it to his mouth with a very fast movement at this time.

Qian Xiaopang is even more of a foodie, however, in line with the principle that fat people can't eat more, in order to maintain his figure, he only ate a few pieces, and then quickly controlled **, and looked at Er Ya and a few people eating with a slanderous face.

"Yo, what's so fragrant? Looks like I'm blessed with a mouthful, old man. ”

Just then, an old man's voice rang out.

Qian Xiaopang's face was overjoyed when he heard this.

"It's the housekeeper's grandfather."

Seeing him jumping out excitedly, Li Hongmei laughed.

Obviously, the child is still looking forward to the arrival of the family.

After all, I also have a sense of home.

The person who came was the old butler.

Because the master is not there, but the little master is still there.

Therefore, this New Year's gift is also necessary.

As soon as Li Hongmei heard that the old housekeeper was coming, she also greeted her happily.

"Old housekeeper, come on, just try the peanut candy I made, do you think this sugar is much more delicious than your brown sugar?"

The brown sugar here is purely not good when fried.

However, the burnt smell is still good, but it is too hard.

The old butler looked at the peanut candy she handed in front of him, and put a piece of it into his mouth.

This old man's teeth seem to be better than Zhao's mother's, and after a few clicks, a piece of candy is gone.

"Oh, I said Dashan's family, what else do you have to eat?"

The old butler stared at her with burning eyes. This kind of him made Li Hongmei proud.

She crossed her arms, "Say, old fellow, are you thinking of making some side living?" ”

The old butler glared at her angrily, "I said that the Dashan family, you are rude." My old man is older than you, why do you call me an old fellow! ”

The old man is still leaning on the old man.

Li Hongmei sneered, "I said old man, do we all worship you as an ancestor?" If you are a serious person, we will naturally be serious to you. Tell me, how much money did you make last time you raked pears or something, as well as spraying tools? Hmph, have you settled with us? ”

At this mention, the old man was embarrassed.

He scratched his head, quickly took out a silver ticket from his arms, and put it in front of Li Hongmei with some reluctance, "This is your bonus money." ”

Li Hongmei took it, and only eighty taels were written on it. However, for the family, such a few dozen taels of silver is a lot of income. It seems that the old man is quite good to them.

At this moment, Li Hongmei's face was a little pale.

"Well, it seems that the old housekeeper is looking at our family's new items, so I want to make another one."

The old steward slapped his face, "That's right, the silver ticket sent here, in fact, is only thirty taels of the bonus money of your family's tools, and the next thing is the fixed money of these sugar cubes." ”

Li Hongmei scolded with a smile, "You old man, I said you are like a fox, look, now it's here again." Alright, let's talk about business. This is the peanut candy I made, business, it is estimated that it is also a business of one or two times. It's been a long time, and it doesn't work. After all, this is the method of having eyes, others only need to look at and eat, but anyone who is skillful can also learn to understand.

However, there are some things that I want to take together and get a good price. Oh, this thing, melon seeds and peanuts, these flavors, you can taste them. ”

When the sugar is fried, the melon seeds and peanuts are drained, and the fire is extinguished, leaving some residual heat to bake. At this time, some of the melon seeds are crispy, just enough to taste.

The old housekeeper watched her grab a handful of melon seeds, a little careless at first.

However, when the melon seeds were handed to him, his face changed.

"Hey, these melon seeds smell different. Smells, seems to taste good. ”

Li Hongmei was stunned, "Then it goes without saying, our melon seeds are refined with eighty-eight kinds of spices." ”
