Chapter 448: Fried melon seeds

After breakfast, Mother Lin slapped the table and gave an order, "Since you are all idle and have nothing to do, you can go and send the children off by yourself today. I have other things to do. There is also the kitchen, Lin Quan, please take care of it ."

"No problem." Lin Quan raised her right hand and said, "I have nothing to do every day. Mom, you and my sister-in-law just have a good rest."

!" Mother Lin muttered and left.

Lin An was going to the army, so the heavy responsibility of sending the children to school fell on Dai Wei.

Xu Wanning wanted to clean up the restaurant and kitchen with Lin Quan, but Lin Quan refused.

"Sister-in-law, please sit down and rest for a while. I'll come back to you after I'm done."

"Okay."

While Lin Quan was busy, Xu Wanning went back to the bedroom, locked the door, and then took it out of the space for cooking. Ingredients needed for melon seeds and popcorn.

Creamy melon seeds and spiced melon seeds are the easiest to make, so Xu Wanning decided to teach Lin Quan how to make these two kinds first.

As soon as Xu Wanning prepared the ingredients and Lin Quan tidied up the kitchen, Xu Wanning pulled her to the yard.

"I'll teach you how to fry buttered melon seeds first. The ingredients needed are raw melon seeds, peanut oil, white sugar and quicklime."

In fact, there is also vanilla essence, but this is not sold in the market now, so Xu Wanning did not tell Lin Quan, Instead, it was served in a small bowl.

"I have completed the first step last night. Let's start the next step now."

"Sister-in-law, what is the first step?"

"Pour quicklime into the container and add water. It is best to After boiling, add cool water, stir it into lime water, then pour the raw melon seeds into the lime water, soak them for four to five hours, and then wash them with clean water. Remember, this step must not be omitted, and it must be washed. It must be washed very clean."

"I understand, sister-in-law, I am definitely not lazy."

"The next step is to fry the buttered melon seeds. We need to burn the peanut oil until it is ripe. Just stir-fry the melon seeds continuously. When you notice that the water is almost dry, add some peanut oil and stir-fry for a while over low heat. When you feel that they are almost cooked, sprinkle in sugar water as quickly as you can. Add peanut oil..."

Xu Wanning demonstrated while analyzing each step with Lin Quan.

"Now that they are cooked, let's do the last step, just let the fried melon seeds cool down."

Xu Wanning took out the melon seeds and placed them on the bamboo board prepared in advance. When spreading them out, she also quietly Add a few drops of vanilla essence and mix well.

"It's sunny now, and it won't take long to dry. Let's just wait patiently. Take advantage of this time to copy it once."

"Sister-in-law, if I fail..."

"If I fail, I fail. This Isn't it normal? How can anyone succeed casually? Come on, let me watch if there is anything wrong. I can remind you in time. "

"Okay,"

Lin Quan started and followed Xu Wanning . The steps just taught, slowly make the melon seeds.

It's just that she wasn't very skilled at it, so she was in a hurry, and in just a short time, she made a mess in the neat place.

Moreover, the intensity of the fire was not controlled well and the melon seeds were burnt.

"Sister-in-law..." Lin Quan cried sadly, "So many melon seeds were wasted."

"Don't be afraid, I have prepared enough, we can try a few more times."

Under Xu Wanning's guidance, Lin Quan was able to fry decent creamy melon seeds. .

At this time, Xu Wanning's fried food was also ready.

Lin Quan couldn't wait to grab a handful and started eating.

As soon as she ate the first pill, her eyes lit up, "Sister-in-law, this is delicious. How can this be so delicious!"

"Is it delicious? Then eat more?" With that, Xu Wanning went to Lin Quan again. I stuffed some into my hand.

But was rejected by Lin Quan.

"Sister-in-law, it's better to sell this for money. It's so delicious. It can definitely be sold for a lot of money. Sister-in-law, you can try what I made."

Xu Wanning tasted Lin Quan's finished product carefully and gave a sincere reply. suggestion.

"When you stir-fry the second time, the heat is a little higher, and the heat is turned off too hastily, so the melon seeds are not crispy enough and taste a bit soft, but overall it is very good."

Lin Quan also ate a few . I fried it myself, "It's strange. I obviously cooked it according to your instructions, sister-in-law, but why is the taste so different? I always feel that the ones I fried are not that fragrant."

"Is it possible that you didn't add this?" "Xu Wanning shook the small bowl. There was only a little transparent liquid at the bottom of the bowl: "This is the secret weapon. Without this, the buttery melon seeds will lose their flavor. You can fry it again and add this this time.

" Okay!" Lin Quan fried it again. This time she remembered Xu Wanning's advice and controlled the heat. In the last step, she added vanilla essence and dried it before eating it. She found that the taste was the same as Xu Wanning's. ’s almost the same.

"Congratulations, you've already graduated."

"Sister-in-law, you are amazing!"

Lin Quan jumped up and down excitedly.

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "You are also very good. You succeeded after only a few attempts. Next, there are spiced melon seeds. Do you plan to learn it today or learn it another day?"

Lin Quan thought about it carefully and asked tentatively. Said: "Sister-in-law, do you think this can be done like this? You fry some spiced melon seeds today, and I can sell three kinds of melon seeds in the evening. As for me today, I will focus on buttered melon seeds first. When can I close my eyes? The delicious buttery melon seeds have been fried. Shall I fry the five-spice melon seeds again?"

"No problem." Xu Wanning readily agreed, "I'll fry two kilograms of the five-spice melon seeds first. Let's see how they sell tonight. The old rule is, when I fry, you watch from the side and get familiar with it first."

"Yeah!" Lin Quan stood aside obediently and watched without blinking.

"Compared to creamed melon seeds, spiced melon seeds have more ingredients, including ginger, fennel, star anise, peppercorns, cinnamon, beef, sugar, salt and vegetable oil."

"Wait!" Lin Quan interrupted Xu Wanning, " Do you need beef? Sister-in-law, there are so many ingredients for spiced melon seeds, how much do we have to sell them for?”

"Don't worry, you only need a little bit of beef, and the ingredients can be used several times after frying once. The whole thing is not expensive." Xu Wanning said mysteriously: "The vanilla essence used to fry the buttered melon seeds is much more expensive than beef. "I'll make a copy first and you can taste it."

Xu Wanning was already familiar with the process of frying melon seeds. After a while, the five-spice melon seeds were also fried.
