Chapter 172 Du Rong'er Comes to the Door
Du Wan'er is going to stir-fry a five-spice melon seeds first.
She bought five kilograms of raw melon seeds yesterday.
When she woke up in the morning, she had already soaked the melon seeds in clean water, and it took almost a few hours to soak them.
Take it out, wash it with clean water, and drain it.
I bought the seasonings I needed, anise and cinnamon yesterday.
First, boil a pot of nearly two pounds of water, slowly boil it, then add fennel and cinnamon for two quarters of an hour like a decocted medicine, then add melon seeds, turn it around and stir well.
After stirring well, boil over high heat, add salt and stir well, cover and cook for half an hour before annealing.
Leave some fire in the stove and let it burn out slowly.
Then use another pot to make garlic-flavored peanuts.
This seasoning requires more than five-spice melon seeds.
Star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, fennel, garlic, peppercorns.
The steps are the same as making melon seeds.
This is not the end, and you have to simmer in the pot for about one night.
Take it out the next day, put it on the bamboo sieve and dry it.
During the drying process, you have to turn it around from time to time.
Both pots at home are used to make peanuts and melon seeds, so Du Wan'er planned to cook corn on the stove in the pot, then pat a few cucumbers, and then cold eggplant.
The tender corn has already matured, and what I have eaten now is a late batch of tender corn.
The corn from Du Wan'er's family was sent by the family who rented the land on the other side of the river in the morning, and told Su that when the land was collected, they would give the food they should give.
There are only corn and sweet potatoes in the field there. Although the field is not big, there are still many people who pay it for rent.
On this day, Zhang Huzi didn't even show up at the Du family, and Su asked about it in the evening.
Du Lang said that Zhang Huzi was going to go to the field to harvest corn this morning, and he also went to help in the morning.
This is the last piece of corn in Zhang Huzi's family. He will be idle for a long time next time. Du Lang asked Su to prepare to see Zhang Huzi every day.
"Wan'er, you have to eat this tender corn soon, otherwise it will be wasted if it breaks."
Su said to Du Wan'er again.
"Okay, mom, from tomorrow morning, our family will eat corn porridge and make all the stir-frying vegetables. Leave this to me, don't worry!"
Du Wan'er smiled.
"Then the melon seeds and peanuts were what you told my mother in the back mountain last time. Do you want to give it to you Uncle Zhang San's house?"
Su said again.
"Well, I will pick it up from the pot tomorrow morning and put it in the yard outside to dry for one day. Well, it will take at most two days. Uncle Zhang San's family will definitely go back to the village to celebrate the festival during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Then I will tell her how to do it."
Du Wan'er said.
"Um."
Su was very relieved that Du Wan'er was doing things and had nothing to tell her.
Just after dinner, before dark, I heard a knock on the door outside.
Brother Du ran to open the door.
"What are you doing?"
A little scared voice sounded.
When the mother and son in the kitchen heard this, they immediately walked out.
"Meng'er, I'll come to find my uncle and sister Wan'er. Can you let me in?"
As soon as the Su family and his son left the kitchen, they heard Du Ronger's pitiful voice outside.
Brother Du’s fear of the Du family has not disappeared yet!
"What did she do?"
Du Lang frowned and looked like he was about to chase people.
Du Wan'er grabbed Du Lang and said, "Brother, I'll go."
Du Ronger had reported to Du Wan'er before. Although Du Wan'er didn't need it, she still made Du Wan'er have a little bit of affection for her.
