Chapter 177 Fried Walnuts
Seeing that the sun was not so bright anymore, Su Panpan stood up and prepared to put away the red dates and mountain pits.
Seeing this, several other aunts and sisters-in-law also came to help. With strength in numbers, it was done in no time.
Su Panpan plans to fry some salt and pepper walnuts.
"You all take your time drinking and chatting. I'm going into the kitchen to fry some walnuts." Su Panpan went into the kitchen carrying the collected walnuts.
"Let us help you!" Wang Hexiang shouted.
Lin Xiu'e said, "Let me light the fire."
Several other aunts and sisters-in-law also went into the kitchen.
"Haha, no need. You guys go out and rest. I'll be busy. When you smell the fragrance later, come in and try it." Su Panpan smiled and pushed them all out. Everyone went back to the yard to drink tea and chat.
They thought Su Panpan was embarrassed to trouble them.
In fact, Su Panpan was not being polite. It was true that having so many people in the kitchen affected her operation, and frying walnuts did not require high heat, so she could handle it alone.
She first heated the pan. Then, she poured in some salt and gently stirred it with a spatula to allow the salt to be heated evenly.
As the temperature rises, the salt grains make a slight "rustling" sound in the pot.
After the salt was heated, Su Panpan poured the walnuts that had been prepared earlier into the pot.
As soon as the walnuts are put into the pot, they come into close contact with the hot salt, making a crisper sound.
She skillfully wielded the shovel, turning the walnuts constantly to ensure that each walnut was fully heated.
The fragrance of walnuts gradually emanated.
Lin Xiu'e walked in and saw Su Panpan's serious look. She joked, "Panpan, with this attitude, you can open a small shop."
Su Panpan smiled a little embarrassedly: "Sister Xiu'e, please stop teasing me."
As the frying progresses, the aroma of walnuts gradually emanates, mixing with the taste of pepper and salt, filling the entire kitchen.
Su Panpan narrowed her eyes slightly, sniffed the tempting fragrance, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
At this moment, Aunt Liu came in, looked at Su Panpan who was busy, and said with a smile: "Panpan, frying salt and pepper walnuts is a delicate job."
Su Panpan looked up and smiled, then responded, "Yes, you have to fry it carefully."
Aunt Liu leaned closer to the pot, sniffed the aroma, and nodded in praise: "This fragrance is unmistakable."
Wang Hexiang smelled the fragrance at the door and walked in, exclaiming, "This smells so delicious. Panpan, your cooking skills are getting better and better."
Su Panpan was very happy in her heart, but she said, "Auntie, you are too kind."
After a period of frying, the color of the walnut becomes
The walnuts deepened in flavor, and a thin layer of salt and pepper coated the surface. Su Panpan judged that the time had come, and quickly scooped out the walnuts and set them aside to cool.
The fried salt and pepper walnuts exude an attractive luster, making people eager to taste them.
Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang, and Aunt Pang were also attracted by the fragrance.
Aunt Pang couldn't wait to pick up a walnut, blew on it, put it in her mouth, and bit it gently. She first felt the slightly salty and crispy taste of the walnut shell, and the taste of fine salt was just right on the surface, adding a unique flavor.
As the teeth continued to exert force, they broke through the outer shell and touched the plump walnut kernel.
The walnut kernels are warm from being roasted, with a rich and chewy texture. They have the original rich aroma of walnuts and the unique taste of pepper and salt.
The aroma spreads in the mouth, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
As you chew, you can feel the oil in the walnut kernel slowly dissolving on the tip of your tongue, giving you a delicate and smooth feeling.
The salty and mellow flavors are intertwined, neither too bland nor too salty, making it impossible to stop eating.
The fat aunt couldn't help but admire: "These fried walnuts are really delicious, Panpan, you are such a capable girl."
Wang Ma also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Panpan, haha, we are in for a treat today."
Su Panpan looked at everyone's happy faces and felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Let's go sit down in the yard and eat."
Su Panpan filled a large plate of salt and pepper walnuts and returned to the yard with brisk steps.
"Aunts and sisters-in-law, these walnuts are fresh out of the pot and are still hot. Please have some."
Everyone followed her and gathered around.
Aunt Liu was the first to reach out and took one. She cracked it open gently and said as she ate, "Oh, Panpan's cooking skills are amazing. Every time I eat it, it tastes delicious. Helping out in town, I've become a picky eater."
As he spoke, he gave Panpan a thumbs-up and glanced at the wintersweet tree in full bloom in the corner of the yard. He continued, "Look at this yard. It's been well-maintained by you, Panpan, and the flowers are blooming beautifully."
Lin Xiu'e also smiled and took two walnuts, put them in her mouth and chewed them slowly, her face full of enjoyment. She glanced at the clothes drying in the yard and said, "Hey, where's your child? Xiaoxiao washed these clothes, right? I often see her washing clothes by the river."
The fat aunt said thoughtfully, "Your Qin Mu and Xiao Xiao are both ready to start a family. Qin Mu can find you a wife and give birth to a big fat boy. Xiao Xiao is so capable, she must be a popular girl."
"It's still early! No matter what, we have to wait until Qin Mu and Xiao Xiao finish school."
“You have to let Xiaoxiao…” Aunt Wang widened her eyes curiously.
Aunt Wang said, "Shen Ru is planning to send her daughter to school, let alone Pan Pan, she must be willing to send her daughter to school, and what Pan Pan said today makes sense."
Others nodded.
Wang Hexiang took her time picking out a large walnut, examining it carefully before putting it in her mouth. She nodded as she chewed, "Mm, the cooking time is just right, and the salt and pepper flavor is just right. Delicious, delicious."
She looked up at the clear blue sky above the yard and sighed, "It's so relaxing and pleasant to bask in the sun and eat walnuts in this weather!"
Auntie Pang was chewing walnuts while looking at the chickens pecking at the food in the yard. She muttered, "These chickens must be greedy. They haven't even started pecking at the rice when they smell the aroma. They're just hanging around here."
Everyone started chatting while eating walnuts, talking about everything from family matters to the latest news in the village, and laughter echoed in the yard.
After a while, the sun gradually set in the west, and the sunlight became softer, giving the yard a golden color.
Wang Hexiang brushed off the crumbs on her body, stood up and said, "Oh, we've been chatting for quite a while. I have to go back and prepare dinner, otherwise my wife will nag me."
Lin Xiu'e also stood up and said with a smile: "Yes, time flies. I have to go."
She looked at the path outside the yard, where there were already some villagers returning home.
Aunt Liu, Aunt Wang and Aunt Wang also expressed their desire to go back.
Su Panpan quickly smiled and said, "I have prepared some more here. I will give it to you all to take home and enjoy slowly."
