Chapter 262 Roasted Sunflower Seeds



Zhou Huaian silently calculated the time and decided to go pick vegetables directly after get off work. There were a lot of vegetables planted there, so it would take at least an hour.

In addition, it takes more than an hour to walk back and forth, and after returning home, I have to go to the commune again. I only have one bicycle, which is not very fast, so the round trip will take at least three hours.

After all, it would definitely take a lot of time to pick so many vegetables.

"I will be back, but it might be one or two or three in the morning when I come back."

"Does it take so long? Don't you have a bicycle?"

"One bicycle is not enough for two people, we have to buy another one."

I was thinking that I might as well take advantage of tonight to push the new bicycle back, since there would definitely be bicycles for sale on the black market anyway.

It’s just right to push it back at night without worrying about being discovered by others. From now on, I will keep it for use when selling vegetables or meat at night.

Su Qingxue nodded. She had to buy what she needed. "Then buy it! Do you have a bicycle ticket? I have a few more. If you need them, just use them!"

If there are no tickets on the black market, the price will be a little higher, maybe even doubled, but if there are tickets, it’s better. Although you don’t lack that little money, it’s better to save as much as possible.

Now I have three kids to raise.

"It would be even better if you have a ticket, so give it to me!"

If Su Qingxue knew that Zhou Huaian treated her as a child, she would definitely let him see how powerful she is.

Su Qingxue pretended to take out tickets from the box, but in fact she took out a handful of tickets directly from the space.

She found the bicycle ticket and handed it to him, "Be careful when you and Sun Rui are at night."

Don’t be fooled by the fact that things seem peaceful outside now. In fact, it’s not that peaceful. There are people with bad intentions everywhere. It just depends on your luck whether you can meet them or not.

"Daughter-in-law, don't worry!"

After everyone left, Su Qingxue was about to continue sleeping for a while when she heard the whimpering sounds of two children beside her.

This is a wake-up call!

But they can really sleep from dusk to dawn, and it is indeed time for them to get up.

However, Su Qingxue didn't plan to pick them up. After feeding them and coaxing them to go to the bathroom, she let them continue to sleep.

No matter whether they continue to fall asleep or not, no one will disturb them and they can have fun by themselves.

Anyway, they are still young, so there is no need to worry that they will roll outside. They close their eyes and fall asleep again quickly.

I slept until nine o'clock and finally felt I had enough sleep.

After washing up and having breakfast, Su Qingxue sat in the house, watching the two children who had fallen asleep without her knowing when, and wanted to find something to do.

Thinking about the sunflower seeds that Zhou Huaian collected, Su Qingxue wondered whether to squeeze them for oil or fry them?

If you fry them all, you won't be able to finish them. Even if you add a few more flavors, you still won't be able to finish them even if your mouth gets irritated.

You can fry some of it and try to extract the oil from the rest.

However, Su Qingxue didn’t know where to press oil, so it seemed that she had to wait until Zhou Huaian came back.

Since she had nothing to do, Su Qingxue went straight to the storage room and packed about 20 kilograms of sunflower seeds, preparing to fry two flavors, one spiced and one caramel.

This way you won’t get tired of eating it so easily.

It’s just that when everything was prepared and ready to fry, I suddenly realized that something seemed to be missing.

Generally, you need special sand for frying things, but I don’t have any, so it seems I can’t do it.

I went to the bedroom to check on the children and made sure that they were sleeping well. Then I picked up the small backpack, locked the door and walked towards the river.

Choose some finer sand so that it will be easier to fry.

I don’t know how it is fried here. Whether in her past life or this life, wherever Su Qingxue lived, the sand was fried.

It's just a bit of a waste of copper oil.

Although I don’t have copper oil, cooking oil should be fine, right?

I haven't tried it, but you can give it a try. If it works, you don't have to go to great lengths to find copper oil.

In less than half an hour, I had selected the fine sand and went straight home.

First, heat the sand in the pan, pour oil in while frying. After making sure the sand is hot enough, then grab a handful of sunflower seeds and start frying.

I was worried that I would ruin it the first time because I wasn’t skilled enough, so I didn’t put in too much.

Not to mention, it seems that it can be used to fry the sand with cooking oil. At least the melon seeds fried the first time were quite fragrant.

It was only after I tasted it that I realized I hadn't added any seasonings.

And there is so much sand in the pot, it would be a bit inappropriate to put seasoning in it.

Su Qingxue felt that her attempt this time seemed to be a bit of a failure. She didn't want to eat the original sunflower seeds. They had to have some flavor to taste good.

Just put the sand in the pot separately and try to see if you can fry it without the sand?

Su Qingxue had never tried cooking without sand. After the pan was heated, she grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and stir-fried them for about ten minutes. It felt like they were almost cooked.

I didn't dare use too high a fire, for fear that it would burn.

Pour in the five-spice powder prepared in advance, turn off the fire in the stove, and slowly stir it over and over with the residual heat from the fire. Leave it on for about five minutes, and stop when there is no heat anymore.

Su Qingxue tasted it and found that the flavor was indeed fried in.

Although it’s not as delicious as the ones I bought in my previous life, it’s just because I’m not skilled at cooking. But overall it’s still quite delicious.

Looking at the basin of sand next to it, it was really a waste of effort. But even if I can't fry melon seeds, I can fry peanuts, fry boiled skins and the like.

So I didn’t throw it away and just put it into the space.

After all, so much oil has been wasted in the sand, so let’s keep it for now!

After I gained experience, I fried more and more sunflower seeds in each pot. I could finish more than 20 kilograms of sunflower seeds in two or three times.

Put it in a sealed glass jar. It seems that I can’t find a place to put other things. Only the glass jar can be sealed and will not spoil the taste.

I left one can in the living room and moved the rest directly into the house.

When I returned to the house, I saw that the two children had already woken up. They were quite well-behaved and didn't cry or make a fuss.

I would like to take them out, but unfortunately I have no tools. I remembered that I said yesterday that I would go to the captain's brother's house to order a cart, but I didn't expect that I forgot it when I woke up.

I just remembered it now. I will go there when the two children are taking a nap in the afternoon and order a round shelf to be placed in the room, and also order a small push cart. This will be more convenient.
