Raising two cute babies: Rebirth of a peasant girl

Chapter 216 Spiced Melon Seeds
"Hmph! Brothers and sisters, it's time for you to teach your daughter well. See what she means? I know that your family has become rich now, and you start to look down on poor people like ours. But, our family Zhen Bao is a child of the Zhen family, you guys, how can you bully people like this?" After speaking, Jiao started to cry on Fan's body again!
Zhen Chun felt extremely wronged, what did she say?Didn't she just ask?How did you become disgusted with them?
Jiao's crying was so sad, and Fan's heart was also sad watching it!If it were my sister-in-law's family who came to ask for this meat today, she would definitely not give it to me!Because she knows very well that the sister-in-law's family will never lack meat.But the second sister-in-law's family is different. Although their family can barely have enough food and clothing, it is still very difficult to eat a meal of meat!
"Second sister-in-law, stop crying, stop crying! I'll ask Chun'er to get some back for you later!" Fan comforted Jiao carefully.

Zhen Chun opened his mouth, finally stomped his feet helplessly, turned around and left.Fan Shi was still in the room and said: "Chun'er, you can cut some meat for your second aunt later. Alas, your second aunt is only Zhen Bao's lifeblood. It's not easy for everyone, so don't worry about that!"

When Jiao Shi weighed nearly two catties of lean meat contentedly, he couldn't help laughing!Hehe, it seems that what the child's father said is indeed correct, the real third brother's family is really going to make a fortune!
It turned out that Zhen Dashu went to the town a few days ago and accidentally saw Zhen Dashan and Zhen Zhen busy in a food shop, so he went up to inquire.It turned out that Zhen Dashan and the others really opened a restaurant selling food in the town!Zhen Dashu was both envious and jealous when he heard it at the time, especially when he saw two little girls, Zhen Zhen and Zhen Mei, bringing back a cart of things yesterday, he became even more jealous!

Therefore, the husband and wife discussed it together, and they simply went to Zhen Dashan's house to cry poorly!Moreover, Mrs. Jiao has also seen that Zhen Zhen and Zhen Fugui are not at home. Mrs. Fan is soft and gentle, as long as she cries in front of her, she will definitely get the meat!
With this successful experience, both husband and wife are very happy, discussing the next action!

Here Zhen Zhen and Zhen Fugui walked back excitedly, Li Zheng told them that they were just near Qingshi Bay!Qingshi Bay is a relatively closed small valley surrounded by mountains, and the soil is not fertile and there are many stones.Zhen Zhen brought a box of pastries and three catties of pork bought in the town to Lizheng's family, and asked Lizheng to help them go to the county to complete the land deed for them.

After solving the big issue, Zhen Zhen and Zhen Fugui were in a good mood, and Zhen Zhen put all her heart on the five-spice melon seeds, and she didn't even know about Jiao Shi's visit to their house!
Soon Dongyue passed, and Zhen Zhen was busy frying spiced melon seeds.On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhen Zhen was sweating profusely standing by the stove, holding a big, big spatula in one hand, and picking up a melon seed in the other, throwing it into her mouth.

"Second Sister, Second Sister, are you alright?"

"Sister, no?"

Zhen Mei and Zhen Yue ran to Zhen Zhen's side one after the other, looking at their cauldron eagerly.

Today Zhen Chun and Zhen Dashan went to the next village to catch piglets, and Zhen Zhen did her own experiments at home.

"Okay, okay!" Zhen Zhen shook her head helplessly, and put a shovelful of melon seeds on the stove with a spatula, "Don't rush to eat now, eat it when it's cold, you know?"

Spiced melon seeds should be soaked in water first, at least half an hour.Then scoop up the melon seeds, put them in a pot, add spices such as cinnamon bark, fragrant leaves, pepper, etc., then add rock sugar and salt, then pour in clean water, cover the pot and cook on high heat, then slowly change to low heat.

After the fire is turned off, the melon seeds are left in the pot to cool naturally.After cooling, remove the larger spices and discard, then remove the melon seeds and drain the water.

The last and more important step is to pour the drained melon seeds into a large pot and fry them slowly over low heat.This process is very challenging, the fire should not be too large, and the time between stir-frying should not be too long. In short, Zhen Zhen failed many times in this step, and finally mastered the heat.

Add salt while stirring, and stir fry until there is no moisture.Then pour the water-free melon seeds into a sieve, spread out to cool naturally, and seal them after cooling completely.

In the same way, Zhen Zhen made all the peanuts again, and then sealed them up.On the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhen Zhen hired Uncle Liu's ox cart to go to the town, put all the things in Li Huailin's place, and told him how to sell them.Then he brought back the melon seeds and peanuts he bought!

Before leaving, Zhen Zhen had a conversation with Li Huailin.

"Brother Huailin, how about you try this?" Zhen Zhen was a little complacent, thinking that this was the result of many experiments by herself, she couldn't help it.

Li Huailin frowned slightly, isn't this melon seeds?He is a big man, not a woman, what is he eating melon seeds for?shame!

"Second Sister, what are you doing? I don't eat melon seeds!" Li Huailin was very determined. In his mind, only those women who had nothing to do all day would eat melon seeds without any trouble. They casually chatted about the parents of the host and the Li family.

"Pfft!"

Zhen Zhen couldn't help laughing, holding her belly, Zhen Zhen laughed happily. "Brother Huailing, are you thinking too much? I made this recently. It has no other meaning. I just want you to have a taste of it. Where are you thinking?"

Li Huailin blushed in embarrassment, and threw a melon seed into his mouth. As soon as he ate a melon seed, his eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "Second sister, how did you make this melon seed? It smells so good." ah!"

"This is called five-spice melon seeds. I also made some tea-flavored and salt-flavored ones. Brother Huailin, I want to sell these as the year is approaching. However, this time I plan to sell them in our shop, and then , I mean, I don't want everyone to know that I sold it!"

Zhen Zhen struggled for a long time, being in the limelight is not a good thing.As the saying goes, if you shoot the first bird, she is worried that if she is too prominent, she will be in trouble.

"En!" Li Huailin thought for a while and agreed!Zhen Zhen is a little girl, it's not good to show her face every day.Since she asked so, anyway, she would let one goat and two goats!

"By the way, Brother Huailin, is there anyone looking for trouble during this period?" This is the most worried question for Zhen Zhen during this period of time.Thinking of what Li Huailin said to her last time, her heart sank.

Hearing Zhen Zhen mentioning this, Li Huailin said slowly, "It's really strange to say this period of time! I remember when we first opened the store, there were people coming to collect protection fees! But don't talk about collecting protection fees during this time, It’s noisy, and our store doesn’t have any! I’ve been wondering, Second Sister, I’ve been thinking, we, no, are you guys behind?”
