After Xu Damao left, Jia Dongsheng also became busy. He had a lot of things to do this morning.
I opened all the big and small packages I brought back from my father-in-law and took a look at what was in them.
As for the mountain products, they were still the same things, mushrooms, fungus, yams, walnuts, etc. The silk bag placed on the back seat was actually filled with melon seeds.
But they are all raw.
Jia Dongsheng thought about it and decided that these things couldn’t just be thrown there, as that would be a waste.
He first washed some hawthorns and crabapples, and then asked Qin Jingru, who was waiting to eat them, and his mother Jia Zhangshi to pick them up, and then he would start making candied haws.
He started frying melon seeds, walnuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, and pine nuts.
These things cannot be fried together, for example, melon seeds and pine nuts. Melon seeds have thin skins, while pine nuts have thick skins. If you fry them together, the melon seeds will get mushy, and the pine nuts may not be cooked well.
The skin of walnuts is even thicker. It is different from the thin-skinned walnuts bought from supermarkets in later generations. They are so thick that you can't break them with your hands. Even if you bite them with your teeth, they won't break even if your teeth are broken.
Especially raw pecans, they must be fried. After frying, the pointed part will crack, and you can use a knife to cut through the crack to split it into two halves.
Then use a thinner tool to pick it up and eat it.
You can't eat the whole pecan fruit, but it is much more fragrant than thin-skinned walnuts.
As for hazelnuts, the frying method is different. As for chestnuts, they taste best when fried with sugar.
Qin Jingru was busy with the same work over and over again, like a little bee, coming to the kitchen every few minutes, and then like a kitten stealing food, she would leave as soon as the food was cooked, regardless of whether it was cooked or not, and come back after a while to get more food.
Jia Dongsheng saw that she was busy and thought it was good, so he ignored her and just focused on his own business.
After a whole morning of hard work, I finally fried the melon seeds, walnuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, and pine nuts separately, and finally made the candied haws.
After completing the whole set, Jia Dongsheng felt his waist was a little sore.
There is no other way. You need to bend over to cook at the stove, which is different from a gas stove. Bending over all the time is a bit unbearable even for someone with a strong waist.
"Brother Dong, thank you for your hard work."
Seeing Jia Dongsheng stretching his waist, Qin Jingru came over, wiped the sweat off his face, and asked with concern, "Do you want me to massage your waist?"
"Massage your waist?"
Jia Dongsheng's eyes lit up. Yes, he had a lot of women. Could he corrupt them a little and let them help him tame his waist?
You know what, in the future, if you pay someone to step on you, you will feel very comfortable when you wake up.
Of course, as to whether it is more comfortable to be stepped on by others or to be led to the second floor, that is a matter of personal opinion.
"We're running out of time. I'm going to the factory first. We can eat the candied haws once they're frozen."
As Jia Dongsheng spoke, he began to put on his clothes, and as he did so, he instructed, "But don't eat too much. Eating too much hawthorn isn't good for your health, okay?"
"I know, Dong Ge, there are so many delicious foods at home today, I can eat something else, like this."
As she spoke, Qin Jingru held up a sugar-roasted chestnut and shook it in front of Jia Dongsheng. It was obvious that she seemed to like it very much.
"Well, if you like it, eat more. I'll continue frying it when it's all gone."
There are not many mountain products at home, but a lot. In addition to the many given by my father-in-law, he also bought a lot before.
I thought of my father-in-law. Didn’t he say he would come today? Why is it already eleven o’clock and he’s not here yet?
However, considering the distance between Qinjiazhuang and Sijiucheng, and the need to load firewood onto the truck, it is estimated that we will not be able to arrive in the morning.
"Jingru, if your dad and the others come, tell them to wait until I get back. I'll arrange dinner for them tonight."
"I understand, Brother Dongsheng." Thinking that her parents might come today, Qin Jingru felt much happier. She really missed home.
"Okay, I'll go to the factory first."
Then he took out a big bag, put some roasted melon seeds, hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts, pine nuts, etc. in it, and then got on his bike and set off.
"Master, what are you holding?"
As soon as he entered the kitchen, the young apprentice Liu Hongchang saw Jia Dongsheng coming over with a bag and said tactfully, "Let me help you hold it."
"Well, I just fried some melon seeds, walnuts and other things at home. I brought them here for everyone to try."
Jia Dongsheng said casually and went into the kitchen.
"Sunflower seeds and walnuts?"
Liu Hongchang rolled his eyes smartly, and instead of following into the kitchen with the bag, he walked out. When he reached the door, he opened the bag with a smile like a little thief and took a look himself.
Then, a fragrance came out of the bag.
“It smells so good!”
The smell aroused my appetite. I sat down against the wall, opened the bag, took out a pine nut, put it in my mouth and took a bite.
Snap!
Although pine nuts are not big, they are very fragrant and delicious after being fried.
Many people in later generations have never tasted this delicacy.
Even if you could buy some pine nuts, they were raw. People in later generations were too lazy to fry them, so they were difficult to eat.
“It’s delicious.”
After eating one, I couldn’t stop and started eating one after another.
As for Jia Dongsheng, he had just entered the kitchen and had not had time to tell the kitchen staff about the melon seeds and other things he brought with him when Nan Yi hurriedly pulled him aside.
"Brother Dong, are the candied haws ready?"
