Chapter 38 Peanut Candy Crisps are a Hot Seller!
The next day, several people continued to help at Gu's house. Gu's mother stopped making clothes and moved a stool to peel peanuts with everyone.
Qin Zhizhi didn't stop her. She usually felt that her mother-in-law was too quiet and should interact more with others.
Qin Zhizhi doesn't like peeling peanuts, so she went to the kitchen with the peanuts she had peeled yesterday.
The people peeling peanuts in the yard didn't care. Qin Zhizhi paid them for their work, and they worked very hard.
Especially Aunt Yao, He and Zhao, they might not be able to find jobs that pay immediately even in town, so they cherish them especially.
Qin Zhizhi is going to make peanut candy crisps today.
She went to the kitchen when everyone was busy in the yard, which was more convenient for her.
I exchanged sugar, oil and cooked sesame seeds with Wanwan.
The most difficult part of making peanut candy crisps is roasting the peanuts. If you don’t control the heat well, they will fail.
There is no oven here. If you want to roast peanuts to make them fragrant and crispy, the most challenging part of the roasting process is the temperature.
Qin Zhizhi was afraid that she might not be able to control the heat well and burn the peanuts, so she called Mrs. Qin to light the fire.
"Grandma, can you come and help Zhizhi light the fire?" Qin Zhizhi shouted at the kitchen door.
When Granny Qin heard her grandson calling her to light the fire, she hurried to the kitchen and said, "I'm coming."
Qin Zhizhi told her grandmother about her request. Granny Qin smiled and sat down to help her granddaughter light the fire.
The control of the fire was very good, and Qin Zhizhi knew that it was the right thing to ask grandma to light the fire.
The two of them worked together perfectly. Qin Zhizhi became more and more addicted to roasting peanuts, so she roasted all the peanuts she had peeled yesterday.
"Grandma, you can turn off the fire now!" After the last pot was baked, Qin Zhizhi was in a very good mood.
After lighting the fire, Mrs. Qin was about to continue peeling peanuts when her granddaughter called her back.
"Grandma, Zhizhi still needs your help. Wash your hands first, and then we can remove the peanut skins together."
Qin Zhizhi brought all the roasted peanuts to the yard. Grandma Qin strictly followed her granddaughter's instructions.
Next it is time for the grandparents and grandchildren to peel the roasted peanuts.
There are no advanced instruments here, so everything has to be done manually. Fortunately, the roasted peanuts are easy to peel. You just need to gently tap the peanuts with a rolling pin to make the skin fall off.
After peeling all the peanuts, Qin Zhizhi began to prepare the rest of the work.
Qin Zhizhi poured white sugar into the pot without adding water or oil, and stir-fried it until the sugar began to melt. Then she turned to low heat and stir-fried it until the syrup turned amber.
This step also requires a lot of skill, but fortunately Qin Zhizhi had seen her grandmother do it before.
Then pour in the peeled peanuts and cooked sesame seeds, stir-fry evenly, and turn off the heat.
Apply a thin layer of oil on the chopping board in advance, pour the peanut candy on the chopping board, and shape it with the help of a knife and rolling pin.
Then, cut the peanut candy into pieces before it cools down completely, and the homemade peanut candy is ready.
Qin Zhizhi found a winnowing basket to hold the peanut candies, and she could pack them up after they cooled down.
Qin Zhizhi filled a bowl and brought it to the yard for everyone to eat.
Several people had smelled the fragrance a long time ago, but they were peeling peanuts and didn't want to eat them because they felt their hands were dirty. Qin Zhizhi simply pinched a piece for each of them and put it in their mouths.
As soon as they took a bite, several people exclaimed, saying it tasted so good.
"Zhizhi, you are really skillful. This is even more delicious than the ones sold in the dim sum shop."
When her son was a scholar and the Zhang family was prosperous, Yao had eaten the dim sum in the shop, and she sincerely felt that they were not as delicious as those made by Qin Zhizhi.
"Zhizhi is amazing. I've never eaten anything so delicious." Zhao couldn't help but praise.
The others nodded in agreement. Seeing everyone's unanimous praise, Qin Zhizhi also took a piece and put it in her mouth. It tasted just as she had imagined.
After the peanut candies had cooled down, Qin Zhizhi packed them in a basket. When she returned home for lunch at noon, she packed a small bag for each family.
Yao and Zhao initially refused to accept it, but Qin Zhizhi said she wanted to try it, so they accepted it.
the next day.
Qin Zhizhi took the peanut candies and went to the county town with Qin Shan's ox cart along with Mrs. Qin.
She specially brought a bag for Qin Qinglin. After delivering the fish, they took Qin Shan's ox cart and went to the academy together.
Qin Zhizhi decided to go to the academy to sell peanut candies and pick up her husband and brothers to take home.
Qin Zhizhi decided to sell peanut candy at twenty cents per pound. Although Mrs. Qin thought it was expensive, she thought it was feasible when she thought about the ingredients Qin Zhizhi used.
Just give it a try, it doesn’t matter if it can’t be sold.
After arriving at the academy, Qin Zhizhi found a place and brought a plate with her when she left. She cut the peanut candy into small pieces and put them on the plate for people to taste for free.
They arrived early and the school was not over yet. Qin Zhizhi asked Qin Pozi and Qin Shan to look after the peanut candies while she strolled around the street in front of the academy.
She wanted to see what was being sold and to check if there was a market for the peanut candies she made.
After Qin Zhizhi came back from her stroll, students began to come out of the academy one after another. It seemed that it was time for dinner.
Qin Zhizhi stood in front of the stall with small pieces of cut peanut candy, and let students passing by taste them for free.
Qin Zhizhi even prepared some bamboo sticks to make it more convenient to use.
Everyone was a little embarrassed at first, but Qin Zhizhi sincerely invited them, and gradually some students came to taste it.
Some of those who can come here to study have good family backgrounds, while some are poor students.
Those who can come out for a snack at noon are obviously the wealthy ones.
Because the trial was free and tasted good, some of the first batch of students who tried it bought it.
Qin Zhizhi greeted the guests warmly, and Mrs. Qin went from being shocked at first to helping the students pack the peanut candies skillfully.
More and more students gathered in front of the stall. Some students saw so many people gathered and wanted to see what was going on.
Then I ate the free peanut candy and was instantly conquered. I joined the queue directly. I can go home today and bring some for my family to try.
Looking at the crowd gathered in front of the stall, Mrs. Qin and Qin Shan were overjoyed.
In a short while, two of the three baskets of peanut candies they brought were sold out.
Qin Zhizhi didn't expect the products to sell so well. She calculated the time in her mind so that she could pick up her husband and brothers from school after selling them.
Here at the school.
At Ning Xuan's repeated urging, the few of them packed up their things before going out.
Several people agreed to go shopping together and buy some things to take home. In fact, Gu Jinghuai wanted to buy some small gifts for Qin Zhizhi.
Not long after he left the house, he heard Ning Xuan ask in surprise.
"Jing Huai, do you think that's my sister-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the stall. Qin Zhizhi was warmly inviting people to try the food, her smile gentle and sweet in the sunshine.
Gu Jinghuai felt inexplicably happy and walked quickly towards Qin Zhizhi.
Qin Qingyuan and Qin Qingyun were very happy to see their sister and family members, and they couldn't help but quicken their pace.
"Wait for me!"
Ning Xuan slowed down a few steps and followed behind, shouting loudly, but no one was waiting for him.
