Chapter 430 Try these freshly fried pine nuts!
Zhou Yue frowned, feeling puzzled.
"That's weird. When I saw Aunt Guixiang breaking off pine cones just now, she didn't have such a hard time. Why is it that it's not working for me?"
The younger brother next to him also had a red face. After trying very hard, Songta still kept his "mouth" tightly closed.
At this time, Uncle Dong came over from the side and saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing.
"What are you two doing? Are you trying to compete with Songta?"
Zhou Yue raised her head somewhat embarrassedly and said.
"Uncle Dong, why is this pine cone so hard to break? I'm almost exhausted."
Uncle Dong squatted down with a smile and took out a tool from his backpack.
This tool looks a bit like a screwdriver, but has a sharper tip.
"Come, Yue girl, I'll teach you a way. This pine cone is very hard, you can't just break it with your hands."
As he spoke, Uncle Dong picked up the tool and poked it hard into the pine cone. After a few strokes, many openings were made in the pine cone.
"You see, it's much easier to break it with your hands now."
Uncle Dong demonstrated and easily broke open the pine cone, revealing the plump pine nuts inside.
Zhou Yue and his brother suddenly realized what was going on and hurriedly followed Uncle Dong's example, using tools to process the pine cones.
After a while, they mastered the trick and could open pine cones smoothly in their hands.
Dong Kang was still picking pine fruits on the tree, while Zhou Yue and his group were busy picking pine cones and nuts under the tree.
In fact, there are not many pine nuts in pine cones.
After breaking open a pine cone, you can only get about 70 pine nuts.
Fortunately, these pine nuts are large and plump, with excellent quality. In modern times, a pound of them costs at least one or two hundred yuan.
I was busy from morning until four in the afternoon, and the pine nuts I peeled accumulated into a large sack.
Uncle Dong also packed a large backpack full of pine cones and prepared to go down the mountain.
Seeing this, Zhou Yue asked curiously.
"Uncle Dong, how heavy is this pine cone to carry? Don't you want to peel it into pine nuts?"
Uncle Dong smiled mysteriously and replied.
"Hey, you'll know when you get home. This is the snack we often ate when we were kids!"
Zhou Yue and his companions returned home from the mountain with a lot of harvest, chatting and laughing.
As soon as we entered the yard, everyone started busying themselves like a wound-up alarm clock.
Sister Chunyan walked into the kitchen in a hurry, rolled up her sleeves, squatted down and started to light a fire in front of the stove.
She skillfully stuffed handfuls of dry firewood into the stove, and soon the flames were licking the bottom of the pot happily.
Sister Chunyan turned around and shouted to Zhou Yue while fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan.
"Ayue, bring that bag of pine nuts over here. Let's try the freshly fried pine nuts today!"
Zhou Yue responded and hurriedly picked up the bag of pine nuts and walked into the kitchen.
Sister Chunyan set up the big iron pot, poured in the first batch of pine nuts, picked up the spatula and started stir-frying.
The shovel collides with the iron pot, making a rustling sound, which is very pleasant to hear.
Zhou Yue leaned over curiously, looked at the pine nuts rolling in the pot, and couldn't help asking.
"Sister Chunyan, are these fried pine nuts really better than raw ones?"
Sister Chunyan nodded and said with a smile.
"Of course not. Raw pine nuts taste sweet, and once they are fried, the aroma of fat comes out. I guarantee you won't be able to stop eating them!"
As the temperature rose, a rich aroma gradually filled the kitchen, making Zhou Yue's stomach spin.
At the same time, the yard was also very lively.
