Fried peanuts, melon seeds, broad beans and soybeans.
At that time, the land belonged to the production team, and every household had its own plot. Several ridges of peanuts were planted on the private plot, a row of broad beans and soybeans were planted on the ridge, and several sunflowers were planted on the ridge. After the harvest, mother put them in a cloth bag and put them in an urn. Usually I don't want to take it out for frying, but broad beans and soybeans are sometimes used for frying.
A few days ago, I cleaned up first, and then steamed the cake. Next, let's fry the new year's goods.
Mother took the river sand out from under the bed and dried it in the sun.
Stir-frying new year's goods is usually carried out at night, especially in large iron pots with firewood stoves. The second brother is in charge of the fire, and the mother cooks. Mother first poured the river sand into the pot and stir-fried. When the river sand was warm, she added peanuts and stir-fried. Sometimes it keeps stirring, and sometimes it stops. The temperature is also very particular. If it is too strong, it will burn easily. If it is too light, it will be fried.
The incandescent lamps of fifteen lamps above the stove have been wiped clean when cleaning, which makes the stove much brighter than usual. My mother turns left and right when cooking, which is very rhythmic. I stood in front of the stove with a small bench and watched the peanuts in the pot roll in the sand. As the temperature rises, there is a smell in the air.
Mother picked some peanuts with a shovel and put them on the stove in front of me. Shouting: "Watch out for burning". When the peanuts are cool, peel them off and pinch them with your hands, and the peanuts will be pinched off. Mother said, "It's cooked." I put a peanut in my mouth, bit it, and my mouth was full of fragrance. It tastes great!
In my memory, when I was young, I spent more time frying broad beans and soybeans. When I grew up, I spent more time frying peanuts and melon seeds. Put salt instead of river sand when frying melon seeds, or fry them separately. When they are ready, spray them with saccharin and a little water, and the melon seeds will taste like cream.
Broad beans are germinated broad beans. When they are soaked in water for a few days, the broad beans germinate, then they are washed and dried, and they become germinated broad beans. It tastes delicious, crisp and sweet after frying. Freshly sprouted broad beans are peeled and cooked with pickles, which is also a home-cooked dish.
After the roasted seeds and nuts were fried, mother put them in a cloth bag and tied them tightly with a rope. My eldest brother is a craftsman and has several vats at home. Mother put the roasted seeds and nuts in a big jar, covered them tightly with a lid, and then took them out to eat during the Chinese New Year.
Big seven cylinders are placed in a dark little room, with no windows, and they dare not go in alone at ordinary times. At this time, I will get up the courage and sneak in quietly. I have two handfuls of new year's goods in my pocket and share them with my friends when I go out. My family doesn't care at all.
During the Chinese New Year, there are always relatives walking around. When relatives came, my mother took out a pot of new year's goods, and everyone around the square table, drinking tea and peeling melon seeds and peanuts, had a good time. Mom will also make snacks to entertain guests, either cooking wine and boiling eggs or making cakes. Sometimes leave a meal, sometimes leave a meal. If you don't leave a meal, the host thinks it's ok, because after eating new year's goods and snacks, you feel very thoughtful.
If pro-Wei takes care of the children, his pocket must be full of new year's goods before he can go home. At this point, the guest must politely say "No, leave it to others to eat". Pushing and shoving between adults, the villain next to him was eager to put the new year's goods in his pocket.
Because, each family's new year's goods are different, and the taste of the year that can be eaten is different.
