Chapter 510 Crispy Pea

Chapter 510 Crispy Pea

Thinking of the chayote that will be all over the mountains and fields next year, the whole family is so excited that no one can even eat.

Mr. Su talked to Su's father about continuing to open up wasteland, while Su Zizhong and Twenty-Twenty took over the job of cutting bamboo.

We have time to open up wasteland now, otherwise we will start harvesting broad beans and peas as soon as the new year is over, in late January and early February. After harvesting, we will start plowing the land. When the land is plowed, if the rain comes early, we will start planting immediately. It's spring.

At that time, we will be really busy. Let alone clearing up wasteland, the business in the mountain col will probably stop for a few days.

"Hurry up and eat. It's a cold day and the food is cold." Seeing that they were getting more and more excited and forgot to eat, Su A'nai knocked on the table lightly to remind them.

"Grandma, let me scoop out the peas for you." The ones on the table were already a little cold, but the ones in the pot were still boiling hot.

The green peas cooked with bone broth are sweet and sandy. Adding a spoonful of bone broth is the most delicious when mixed with rice.

"If you like it, go pick it from the fields. It's just right for these few days, but it will get old after a while." Su A'nai handed the bowl to her.

Then he pointed to the bowl of dried peas soaked in the cupboard and said, "Didn't I see you soaked a bowl of dried peas? Are you planning to cook it and eat it tomorrow morning?"

"Ah!" Su Ziling exclaimed, "Grandma, you didn't tell me that I would have forgotten about it. I originally planned to make crispy peas, but I just came back late, so I didn't think about it."

Su Ziling finished cooking the rice in a few mouthfuls, then went to light the fire as soon as the bowl was put down, "I'll fry the peas first, otherwise the peas will be sour tomorrow morning after soaking."

She glanced at the peas, which were completely soaked.

Pour the peas on the pot and drain the water. Then she heats the oil in a pan. The oil is 50% hot. Pour the peas in and fry them slowly.

There was water in the peas, and they crackled and exploded as soon as they were poured in. Su Ziling frowned and took a pot lid to cover it.

Wait until the water in the peas dries up, then lift the lid of the pot and fry while turning.

Fry the peas until they are open and slightly translucent and ready to serve. After serving, sprinkle with salt, pepper, shiitake mushroom powder, fennel powder and paprika powder, stir evenly and serve.

Freshly cooked peas are not crispy and need to be cooled.

The meal here had just been finished, and looking at the bowl of crystal clear crispy peas on the table, everyone became greedy again. (Crispy Pea)

"Grandma, give it a try. I think we can fry it a little during the Chinese New Year. If you're craving, you can eat it as a snack." The peas were not so hot anymore, so Su Ziling grabbed a few and tried them.

Crispy and crunchy, it is easy to bite. The more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes. Your mouth is full of numbness and spicy. The more you eat, the more addictive you become.

Grandma Su shook her head, "I won't eat it. My teeth are not very good. Let it cool down for a while before putting it in the cupboard. If it is hot, it will sit in the cupboard until it is suffocating. It will not be crispy when I eat it tomorrow."

"Try it, Ah Nai. This one is very crispy!" Ah Xiu grabbed a handful and gave it to Su Ah Nai.

His eyes were sparkling, and his mouth was full of "click-click-click" sounds.

One hand was used to give Su Ah milk, and the other hand was stuffing it into her mouth. It was obvious that she liked to eat it.

"Eat less. You just finished eating, so be careful your stomach is full." Su Ah took a few pills.

"No! If I don't hold it up, I can still eat it!" Axiu grabbed a handful and sat back, throwing them into his mouth one by one.

"Sister, sister, these peas are delicious. They are fragrant and crunchy, and they are very chewy."

"Huh?" Su A'nai tried two peas and exclaimed, "It's really easy to bite. I was thinking that your grandpa and I wouldn't be able to eat these dried peas because of our bad teeth. I didn't expect it to be like this." Crispy.”

"I think we can sell it!" Su Zimu nodded repeatedly.

Suddenly, the room was filled with the crunching sound of peas being chewed.

Su's father nodded in agreement, "You're right, this is a good thing to sell."

"What's right?" Mother Su glared at them, "These peas need to be fried. Where did we get so much oil?"

"It's okay to fry one or two bowls for yourself, but it's definitely not feasible to fry them and sell them. You can't use lard and lacquer for deep-frying. There's only a little bit of tea oil. If you fry it once, you won't sell it the next time?"

Su's mother's words directly killed the father and son's thoughts in the cradle.

"If you can't sell it, you can't sell it. If you wait a few years, won't Xiaoqing want to plant that camellia tree? When the oil is available, won't you be able to sell it?"

Father Su said and looked at her, "By the way, what happened to the tea trees you planted? We don't understand either, and we don't dare to touch them for you."

"Most of them are alive, but a few are dead. We will plant them when the new year is over. We usually help cut the grass under the trees. It will take two or three years for them to bear fruit."

Thinking of the camellia trees and chayote trees that would fill the mountains and plains in the future, Su's father was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

The family sat by the firepit, eating crispy peas and chatting, and talked about what to plant in the new year.

Speaking of summer taxes that were just paid in August, autumn grains will be paid in February next year.

From the autumn grain talk to the tea picking in March, the making of fairy tofu in April, and the marriage of Li Zeqi in February.

It's probably because I'm usually too busy, and I'm so tired from working every day. As soon as I finish work, I'll lie down in bed after eating, and I'm so tired that I don't even want to move.

So I didn’t sit down and chat properly, but suddenly I sat down and started talking to each other, and before I knew it, we were chatting until nightfall.

In the end Su A'nai couldn't stand it anymore and yawned. Then everyone dispersed and went back to their respective houses.

Early the next morning, Mother Su reminded her when she saw her getting up, "Didn't you ask me to remind you to watch Jiuqu? It's been two days, please go and take a look."

Su Ziling rubbed her eyes, "Hey, okay."

She scooped up a glass of water, dipped a willow branch in some salt and stood aside to brush her teeth. As soon as the salt entered her mouth, she frowned. She was still not used to it after so long.

It's a pity that she doesn't know how to make toothpaste, otherwise the whole thing will be different.

But I can take the time to go up the mountain to pick up some soapberry fruits and come back to wash clothes. Their family now uses plant ash to wash clothes. Mr. Su and the others do heavy work and sweat a lot, so using plant ash always feels like it can't wash them clean.

After washing up, she went into the kitchen and took a look. Mother Su was already cooking, "Mom, what should we eat this morning?"

"There is meat at home. I took a few preserved eggs and soaked a handful of Xiangxin. I plan to cook Xiangxin preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Don't you like shepherd's purse? I saw you pulled some yesterday and chopped it up. Go in and cook together, the color is beautiful and delicious. ”

Mother Su poured the washed rice into the pot and started cutting the meat. Seeing that she was still standing, she said, "Go and do your work. I'll make breakfast."

Since the conditions at home have improved, Su Ziling has also taught Su's mother how to cook. Compared with the food she cooks now, it can be said that it is completely different.

Whenever she cooked delicious food, she couldn't help but feel a little happy, and said with a proud look on her face, "This has broken the curse of our old Li's cooking being unpalatable. Show your grandpa and grandma a hand."

"Ang, then I'm going to watch Jiuqu. I don't know if it will work or not." Su Ziling yawned and headed towards the other side of the room.

When I entered the house, I felt a little uneasy and didn't know if it would work.

She took out the dustpan that contained the koji, and removed the old cotton coat and straw covering it, revealing the fat white koji inside.

Seeing that there was a layer of white fluff on these koji, Su Ziling was so happy that she didn't expect to succeed.

She picked out the koji, put it in a dustpan, and took it outside to dry.

"How's it going? Is it done?"

As soon as she left the house, she met Su's mother coming out to fetch water.

"It's done. After it's dried in the sun for two days, it can be stored in a jar."

"We can steam the glutinous rice later and make some sweet liquor. We can boil eggs just in time for the Chinese New Year."

"Okay, when are you going to pound rice cakes and glutinous rice cakes with a hammer?" Mother Su naturally approved of what she was going to do.

"Let's do it tomorrow. Soak the rice in the evening and steam it early tomorrow morning. I'll have to remind my third uncle and the others later to finish it early. There are only a few days until the New Year."

Mother Su nodded, "Okay, I can make more this year, like glutinous rice cakes, bait cubes, and rice cake hammers. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I will go to your grandma's house to pay New Year's greetings, and take it to them by the way."

"Is your hairy tofu ready? Have you seen it?"

"I just opened a corner and took a look. It still doesn't work. It's only been five days. There are still two days left. Let's wait and see."

Su Ziling was really not worried about the hairy tofu. She just took a look and saw that no hair had grown at all. If this failed, the two dustpans of tofu would be wasted.

"What are you going to do today? Are you okay?" Mother Su glanced at her.

Su Ziling shook her head, "There's nothing to do today." I'll make the sweet liquor at night and pound the glutinous rice cakes tomorrow, so there's really nothing to do today.

"What's the matter, Auntie? Do you have anything to arrange for me?"

Mother Su's voice came softly, "The broad beans in the field are ripe, and there are some fennel seedlings beside the field. Your grandma wanted to eat broad bean dumplings yesterday. You go pick some and bring them back. Let's pound the broad bean dumplings and eat them."

"It's done!" Thinking of the broad bean dumplings, Su Ziling grinned and her eyes lit up, "Then I'll pick more, and let's eat broad beans, peas, sausages and stuffed rice tonight?"

"Just come and come. After dinner, your father and I will go to open up wasteland with you later. You can take Axiu to pick broad beans. Didn't you say you want to make sweet liquor? You will make it when you have time. You have to go to the county in two days. I’m here to deliver vermicelli and buy new year’s goods.” After saying this, Mother Su returned to the kitchen with the water.

Su Ziling fiddled with the wine koji in her hand and responded cheerfully.

"I plan to make it at night. I have to soak the glutinous rice soon."
