Gu Bai quickly stopped him, but Gu Bai wanted to stop him, but he walked very fast, he didn't look like an old man at all, he put down his things and left.

It's just that how could Gu Bai accept this bag of melon seeds and wanted to go to the door to return it, but it's a pity that the other party refused to accept it. There is no reason to take back the gift that was sent out.

In the end, Old Man Hu came forward and persuaded Gu Bai to accept the bag of melon seeds.

This old Hu's character is that he doesn't want to take advantage of others. It's a habit from childhood to old age to return favors with others. If Gu Bai refuses to accept this bag of melon seeds, he will just return it. , that old Hu was still feeling uneasy.

Hearing what he said, Gu Bai gave up.

It's just that the other party doesn't want to take advantage, but look at the bag full of melon seeds. The melon seeds are packed in white plastic bags. The kernels of the melon seeds are big and black. It can be seen that they are carefully selected and processed. , the size of these melon seeds is not so uniform.

Thinking about the plate of fried beef with watermelon rind that he gave him, Gu Bai always felt that he was taking advantage of others, and he was still an old man.

What is the situation in the house next door? During the meal, Old Man Hu also mentioned that the two elderly people take care of their grandchildren, and they are regarded as left-behind families. The son and daughter-in-law of the family all go out to work, taking advantage of such a family, Gu Bai is also a little bit sorry.

"Ah Bai, if you feel sorry, you might as well leave some tasty snacks for his children. If you give something to an adult, they will definitely not accept it. If you give it to a child, they will accept it." Jiang Xiu also looked at it. Out of Gu Bai's embarrassment, he opened his mouth and said.

Tasty snacks?

Gu Bai can make all kinds of snacks, but it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and he doesn't know what to do at this moment...

Gu Bai saw the watermelon seeds in front of him. The seeds were very big and the oil was black and shiny. He picked up one and peeled it off. This watermelon seed was still raw and hadn't been roasted. The melon seeds inside were tender and white.

Gu Bai took a sip, the raw melon seeds were a bit sweet, although they didn't have the aroma of roasted melon seeds, but they had another taste, that is, it wasn't very easy to peel.

It is conceivable how good the taste of watermelon seeds will be after frying.

The most important thing is that watermelon seeds are still durable, as long as they are placed in a sealed bag, they can be stored for several months.

And this is also the melon seeds sent by the neighbor's house, and it will be easier for the other party to accept it if they give it back.

Hearing that Gu Bai was going to stir-fry watermelon seeds, old man Hu hurriedly cleaned up the kitchen and asked Gu Bai what seasoning he needed, he was afraid they didn't have it here.

"Is there any spiced cinnamon?" Gu Bai asked.

"Yes." Old man Hu replied, these ingredients are used to make meat dishes, and they eat a lot of meat dishes during Chinese New Year, so these spices will not be missing.

Gu Bai is going to make two flavors of melon seeds, one is spiced, which is considered a very popular taste, and the other is original watermelon seeds, so as to save children from eating too many spiced melon seeds, and the seasoning will irritate their mouths.

The watermelon seeds that Grandpa Hu sent over were not light. Gu Bai weighed them and found that they weighed almost ten catties. He planned to send two catties, one catty of five spices and one catty of plain flavor.

Originally, he planned to give more, but old man Hu persuaded him not to give so much, otherwise Grandpa Hu felt that Gu Bai was at a disadvantage and what would happen if he gave him another gift.

Don't make a loop at this time.

Gu Bai thought about it for a while, and gave up.

The steps of frying melon seeds seem simple, but it is just adding seasoning and stir frying until it is cooked, but if you want to make it delicious, the seasoning and heat should be controlled just right.

If you put too much seasoning, the melon seeds will taste heavy, which is not delicious, but if you add less, the taste will be too bland and tasteless. Besides, there is a shell on the outside of the melon seeds when stir-frying. How can I make the seasoning more flavorful? Penetrating into the melon seeds is very important for the mastery of seasoning.

The heat is also related to whether the melon seeds are fried raw or cooked, or overcooked. If the heat is too high, the melon seeds will be easily browned, without a trace of moisture, and they will be scorched and dry after eating.

Originally, Hu Cheng wanted to come to help watch the fire this time, but after listening to Gu Bai's request, the old man Hu drove him aside, and the poor control caused a pot of melon seeds to be ruined , he doesn't trust Hu Cheng, it's safer to go on his own.

Although Hu Cheng wanted to help, but thinking about his own skills, he hadn't pulled the bellows for many years, and he honestly handed over the control of the fire.

Gu Bai first cooks the original fried melon seeds. You don’t need to add any salt to the original fried melon seeds, you just need to fry them on the fire. Although there is one less step of seasoning, the difficulty is actually higher.

Because watermelon seeds only have their own taste, it is very obvious whether they are fried or not, and you can taste them as soon as you eat them. Fortunately, old man Hu controls the fire strictly according to what Gu Bai said, and Gu Bai fried them in the pot The timing is also well grasped.

When the aroma of the fried melon seeds came out, Gu Bai felt that the melon seeds were almost fried, so he quickly poured out the melon seeds from the pot. Not only he did it, but other people also helped. After all, this pot of melon seeds weighed about five catties. If relying on Gu Bai alone, it will take a little time,

This cauldron can't be taken away. Although the fire has been turned off for a while, there is still residual heat. The time is short, but it will affect the taste of melon seeds.

Freshly fried melon seeds can’t be bagged immediately, they must be dried for a while to dissipate the heat, otherwise they can be bagged directly, and the heat will become water droplets when they are cold, falling on the freshly fried melon seeds. It affects the storage time.

Gu Bai picked out a melon seed to taste, he didn't fry the melon seeds very ripe, but let old man Hu turn off the fire when it was almost ripe, and then baked it slowly with a little residual heat, he did this mainly to keep the The next point is the sweetness of raw melon seeds.

Although the roasted ripe melon seeds have a good aroma, but the sweetness is really delicious, so Gu Bai wanted to try it.

The shells of the melon seeds after frying are a bit more crispy than before, and they are also easier to chew. After biting lightly, Gu Bai didn't even feel how much effort he had exerted, and the melon seeds came out.

Although it has been fried, the melon seeds have not shrunk too much, and they are still very plump. The only change from before is that the melon seeds are not as white as before, and they look a little more yellow.

The melon seeds also had a slightly more oily aroma after frying. Gu Bai tasted it, savored it carefully, and showed a surprised smile. His experiment was successful.

Seeing Gu Bai like this, Jiang Xiu and Li Yanchuan also reached out to take a few melon seeds to taste. Old man Hu and the others were also curious, but these melon seeds belonged to Gu Bai, so it was not easy for them to get them.

On the contrary, Gu Bai noticed their restraint and could understand, he directly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into the hands of several people, and said to old man Hu: "Master Hu, try it, you are also responsible for the stir-fried melon seeds, if not If you manage the fire well, I won't be so successful."

What Gu Bai said was the truth, melon seeds can be fried successfully because of his good cooking skills, but on the other hand, in this kind of big pot, if old man Hu didn't control the fire well, he wouldn't be able to fry them by himself. too good.

Old man Hu blushed when he heard that, he is good at controlling the fire, but Gu Bai said in advance how much the fire was controlled, so there is so much credit for Gu Bai.
