191 There is a delicacy called melon seeds
"Brother Dali, can this thing really be eaten?"
Yang Zi naturally recognized that the small plate of black and hemp beans on the table was sunflower seeds, could it be that Brother Niu said this was the delicious thing just now?
Wang Shihu and the others looked at Niu Dali, originally they were getting the sunflower seeds out of the sunflower tray outside the yard just now, but Brother Niu suddenly let them into the house, saying that there was something delicious for them to taste.
"Of course, I can still lie to you?!" Niu Dali didn't care, picked up the melon seeds on the plate, and knocked them in front of Wang Shihu and the others.
The melon seeds on the table were actually boiled two days ago, and the dried spiced melon seeds were just stir-fried today, and they were just used to taste Wang Shihu and a few people, after all, in the past three days, Wang Shihu and a few people have made a lot of efforts, how can they do it if they don't treat them.
"It's called melon seeds, just eat the meat inside. Niu Dali said as he kept grabbing his hands into the plate.
Seeing that Wang Shihu and the others were dumbfounded for a while, there was a crisp sound of "quack!quack!" in their ears from time to time, and one after another melon seed skins were put aside by Niu Dali.
Is it really that delicious?
Eating with such relish by Brother Niu, Wang Shihu and the others couldn't help but swallow their throats, and driven by curiosity, they picked up a melon seed and swallowed it.
Their speed is not as fast as Niu Dali, because they just started knocking melon seeds, the action is not very skilled, but fortunately, the melon seeds are dry and crisp, only need a slight bite, the skin of the melon seeds can be separated, and the melon seed meat, Wang Shihu and several people took it out by hand and put it in their mouths.
Salty.
But it tastes pretty good.
Wang Shihu chewed a few times, picked up another melon seed and knocked it up.
At first, I didn't think anything of it, but the more I ate the melon seeds, the more fragrant the taste became.
For a while, one hand kept grabbing the plate, and the melon seeds on the plate gradually decreased.
Watching Niu Dali's hand keep stretching out to the plate, the speed is called a fast, Yang Zi didn't have the courage to follow the example of Erya, protect the melon seeds on the plate, and could only beg aggrievedly: "Brother Niu, you eat slowly, leave some for our brothers!?"
Wang Shihu and the others nodded with deep sympathy, Brother Niu ate melon seeds faster, even if a few of them were added together, it was not enough for Brother Niu to eat a lot!
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at the pile of melon seed skins in front of Niu Dali's table, and then look at the scarce melon seed skins in front of their table, this is simply the gap between the mountains and the mounds!
"The ancients, eating is like a battlefield, on the battlefield, can you make the enemy's subordinates merciful?" Niu Dali spoke, but his hand did not stop, and when he finished speaking, he had already swallowed several melon seeds.
What a reasonable feeling!
Wang Shihu and the others opened their mouths, looking a little dazed, but... Did the ancients say this?
However, they still understand one thing, if they don't eat it, the melon seeds will be eaten by Brother Niu alone!
Suddenly, several people pounced on the melon seeds like hungry tigers, rushing to knock the melon seeds, and even Yang Zi felt that it was too troublesome to knock the melon seeds with his teeth, so he chose to crush the skin of the melon seeds with his hands and take out the melon seeds to eat.
The cow shook his head vigorously and pinched the melon seeds with his hands, how could he knock it fast with his mouth?
At the same time, Li Xianglan, the eldest girl, the second girl and the widow Sun mother and daughter were also knocking melon seeds in the side room, they were not like Niu Dali and a few people rushing to eat melon seeds, but talking and laughing while knocking melon seeds.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, the melon seeds on Li Xianglan's table are more than twice as many as those of Niu Dali, not only that, Li Xianglan eats a plate of melon seeds for five people, and Niu Dali is eight people for eating a plate of melon seeds.
"Xiu'er, I didn't lie to you, these melon seeds are delicious!" Erya grabbed a handful of melon seeds in her little hand and showed off while knocking on the melon seeds.
"Uh-huh!" Xiu'er laughed at two small dimples and nodded, "It's really delicious, better than maltose!"
"Of course, that's what I found!"
Subsequently, Erya told the story of the discovery of the sunflower, and her little face was extremely proud, as if she had made the spiced melon seeds.
Widow Sun didn't expect that this sunflower was the first to be discovered by Erya, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "At the beginning, everyone thought that you were stupid to grow flowers on dry land, but now you think about who is stupid!
"Godmother, my father said, we don't plan to sell these melon seeds!" Erya said with a sweet smile.
"What?" Widow Sun looked at Li Xianglan, "Is what Erya said true? Don't you plan to sell such delicious melon seeds in the town?"
Li Xianglan smiled, "Brother Dali said, this year, these melon seeds will be kept for your own consumption, or you can give some away, and when you plant more in the next year, we will take some and sell them!"
Widow Sun smiled bitterly and shook her head, although she didn't know how much silver these melon seeds could sell for, but with this taste, I am afraid that many rich and noble families are rushing to ask for it, even if they are sold to those restaurants and inns, I am afraid that no one will refuse.
But Niu Dali's family actually planned to keep it for their own food, you must know that Niu Dali's family has six big bags of this kind of melon seeds, how long do you have to eat it?
However, she also secretly envied Li Xianglan in her heart, and from this point of view, Xianglan's family did not worry about the silver.
In the main hall, Wang Shihu and a few people finished swallowing the melon seeds on the table, and they still looked unsatisfied, with their current age, there is very little food that impresses them, except for meat is wine, but they only now find out that there is a delicacy in the world, called melon seeds.
"I've never eaten anything like this. Yang Zi licked his slightly salty upper lip, and the aftertaste was endless.
"It would be even better if it could be paired with some wine!" Daikin grinned.
"That's a good idea!" Wang Shihu's eyes lit up.
Niu Dali thought about it, he hadn't heard of melon seeds with wine, but fried peanuts with wine were pretty good, but unfortunately there were soybeans in this world, but there were no peanuts.
"Brother Niu, you want to leave us some of these spiced melon seeds, I don't want more, just one catty!" Thinking of the taste just now, Yang Zi still looked unsatisfied.
"I also plan to give you four catties each, since Yang Zi wants one catty, then I will give you one catty!" Niu Dali said with a smile.
Yang Zi was dumbfounded, and hurriedly said: "Don't, Brother Niu, you just think what I said just now is a fart, you haven't heard anything just now." ”
Wang Shihu and the others snickered.
Early the next morning, Niu Dali's family rode rhubarb to the town, bought a lot of spices, and bought a large iron pot at the blacksmith shop in order to make it easier to boil more spiced melon seeds.
In the time that followed, the family was busy boiling spiced melon seeds.
