Chapter 123 Fried Chestnut and Lard Rice
When the sand was hot, she added sugar and stir-fried it for a while. The sugar melted and stuck to the sand. Then she poured in chestnuts and started stir-frying.
The sugar on the sand can stick to the dirt on the chestnut shells, polish the chestnut shells, and make them more shiny and beautiful in color.
At this moment, Qin Xiao and Yueyue also walked into the kitchen. Even the vixen was attracted by the smell of chestnuts and kept wagging its tail.
Qin Xiao came over curiously and asked, "These chestnuts smell so good. When can we eat them?"
Yueyue stared at the chestnuts in the pot and swallowed.
Su Panpan skillfully turned the chestnuts with the shovel in her hand, and the chestnuts rolled and jumped in the hot sand, making a crackling sound.
As time passed, the aroma of chestnuts gradually spread and filled the entire kitchen.
Xiaoxiao couldn't help but move closer to the pot and took a deep breath, "Wow, it smells so good!"
Qin Mu was also attracted by the fragrance, "Mom, are the chestnuts almost ready?"
Su Panpan smiled and said, "We have to wait a little longer to let the chestnuts heat evenly, so that they will be fragrant and sticky."
After stir-frying for a while, Su Panpan felt that the chestnuts were almost cooked, so she sprinkled some more sugar on them and continued to stir-fry.
"Qin Mu, collect the sausages in the yard and hang them on the pole in the back room." Su Panpan was busy frying chestnuts, and did not forget to ask Qin Mu to take the sausages home.
Finally, Su Panpan took the fried chestnuts out of the pot.
"Come, let's all taste the fruits of our hard work!"
Qin Xiao was the first to reach out his hand. He carefully picked up a chestnut and gently bit it open. The sweet and soft taste immediately conquered his taste buds.
But the heat of the chestnuts made him blow on his fingers involuntarily, a satisfied yet slightly burning smile on his face: "These chestnuts are absolutely amazing! But they are a little hot."
People reached out to pick up the chestnuts, took a bite, and the sweet and soft taste spread in their mouths. All the fatigue of the day dissipated at this moment.
The vixen was nearby, and its tail was wagging even more happily.
Yueyue couldn't help but throw a chestnut to it.
It sniffed it gently with its nose, then carefully fiddled with the chestnut with its claws, but the heat of the chestnut made its claws retract slightly, appearing a little hesitant.
Xiaoxiao looked intoxicated. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if she wanted to absorb all the aroma of the chestnuts into her body.
She exclaimed softly, "This fragrance is simply irresistible!" After that, she took a bite of the chestnut with satisfaction.
"These chestnuts are even more delicious than those sold on the street!" Qin Mu also joined in the tasting. His movements were more bold. He took a bite, and the sweetness and softness of the chestnuts immediately burst out in his mouth.
The remaining chestnuts had to be put into the jars, but there were not enough jars, as the previous jars were already full. So, Su Panpan went to the space and bought a few more jars similar to the previous ones.
Although I am tired today, I have gained a lot. The back room seems a bit crowded with all the food.
It was getting late, and Su Panpan didn't care how many dishes to cook, so she just stir-fried some green leaves with lard.
He served five more bowls of steaming hot rice, picked up a chopstick of milky white lard and put it on the rice, poured a small spoonful of soy sauce on it, and sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions.
The lard gradually melts in the white rice and stirs with soy sauce and chopped green onions.
At this time, each grain of rice is wrapped in lard and has the color of soy sauce. The rice is oily and smooth, and each grain is distinct.
The aroma of rice, oil, sauce and chopped green onions are intertwined and emanate from the hot air, reaching your nose.
Just smelling the fragrance was unbearable, so Su Panpan took a bite herself first.
Wow, this tastes amazing!
It’s so delicious that it makes me cry!
Although it was just a simple bowl of rice with lard, at this moment I had completely forgotten the existence of other delicacies.
The fatty aroma of this lard can never be replaced by any other oil.
Several children also took a big bite eagerly, showing expressions of enjoyment while chewing.
“Wow…wow…wow…” Several children exclaimed in amazement. The food was so delicious that it could no longer be described.
Su Panpan took another bite of the fried vegetables with oil residue.
As soon as she took a bite, she could feel the juiciness of the vegetables and the crispiness of the oil residue intertwined.
The fibers of the green vegetables broke gently between her teeth, releasing fresh juice, while the oil residue was like small "crispy bombs" that exploded in her mouth, bringing a rich fatty aroma. The two were matched just right, and the taste was wonderful.
The green vegetables, moistened by the oil residue, retain their sweetness while adding a mellow aroma. The oil residue, against the backdrop of the green vegetables, appears less greasy and tastes crispy and delicious, making people unable to stop eating.
The children ate with relish.
The vixen was also particularly satisfied with today's dinner.
Such a simple dinner, yet so delicious!
The moonlight spread across the courtyard like water.
The children finished washing up obediently.
The soft moonlight quietly shines into the house.
The room was covered with a veil, like a dream.
They gradually fell asleep in the gentle moonlight.
The next day, thinking about how delicious the lard rice was yesterday, the children asked Su Panpan to make it again.
Su Panpan couldn't resist, so she made lard rice for breakfast, but this time she also fried 5 soft-boiled eggs and put them on top of the rice. She was so satisfied!
After dinner, Su Panpan arranged for Qin Mu and several other children to go to the fields to dig potatoes, while she took Shen Ru and Erniu to the town.
One was to continue looking for houses, and the other was that she wanted to go to the palace to ask if they were going to harvest potatoes. She had planted so many fields of potatoes, and based on the yield she had dug a few days ago, she estimated that there were more than 7000 to 8000 kilograms.
She originally wanted to make the potatoes into snacks and sell them, but later changed her mind and wanted to look at houses first. At present, she had to arrange for Qin Mu and the children to go to school, which was a more important matter.
From chatting with others in town, I learned that students usually start school after the Mid-Autumn Festival in August and in the spring.
Su Panpan, Shen Ru and Erniu came to the town.
This time they didn't go to Zhou Youliang, but to a broker. The broker came up to them warmly. Su Panpan mentioned her request, and the broker immediately understood and took them to see several houses.
There was a small courtyard with a good location, not far from the market, about the same distance from her home to Erniu's home, only a 10-minute walk. There was also a jujube tree in the yard. Su Panpan liked it very much, but the price was quite expensive. A small, shabby courtyard actually cost four hundred and fifty taels of silver.
Su Panpan muttered to herself: It turns out that houses in ancient times are just like modern ones, and price, location, and business district are also considered.
There was another house with a good location, close to the market, but it was a bit run-down and needed some repairs. The price was cheaper, at three hundred taels.
Su Panpan was quite satisfied with this place. It didn’t matter that the house was dilapidated, it could be rebuilt. The main issue was the price, the cheaper it was, the better.
It seems that whether in ancient times or modern times, we have to find professionals to get things done efficiently.
