Chapter 1010 Eating Melon Seeds and Watching a Movie, Too Happy (Subscribe)
"There are also melon seeds. Every time before going to the theater, I have to bring a popsicle into the theater shed and eat while watching. Eating melon seeds to watch the theater is a perfect match."

Studio.

"It's no wonder the host said that he came in earlier... Don't say anything else, this is the street, if I don't have an hour and a half, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out!"

"Eating melon seeds and watching a show is so blissful!"

"Northeast open-air Errenzhuan? This is too emotional! Why don't we have it here?"

"When will this duo start, I can't wait."

"This familiar shout... As a native of the Northeast, I haven't seen such a down-to-earth open-air duo for more than ten years!"

"The anchor must find a good position for a while! I want to see where the charm of this Errenzhuan is without any blind spots."

Li Yuan smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, it's fine."

Although this place belongs to the end of the village and there is a small river nearby, the location of this place is quite spacious.

In the past, this place was originally a place for village fairs and conferences, but later, because there were fewer and fewer people in the village, and there was a town market not far away, the market in that place had more varieties. There were more people, so it was gradually abandoned.

However, even though it was a disused market, any activities in the village would still be held in this place during festivals.

And when there is nothing to do, there will be some small merchants setting up stalls in this place, yelling and shouting, so this place has been cleaned up very neatly.

No, as soon as Errenzhuan was settled, it was immediately settled here.

Li Yuan and Hu Kai shuttled through the crowd, their nostrils filled with various aromas, just like Hu Kai, who was already attracted by the aroma of melon seeds at this moment.

Hu Kai couldn't help sniffling, and exclaimed: "It smells like melon seeds!"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Do you want to eat?"

Hu Kai nodded, showing two rows of big white teeth.

"I'm sure, how can there be less melon seeds in Errenzhuan!"

Li Yuan: "All right, I'll go buy melon seeds, you go buy some water, and then meet at the door."

The sellers of water and melon seeds are not close to each other, so there are so many people, they will definitely not be able to find anyone for a while, so we simply don't waste that time and go directly to the door.

Hu Kai nodded.

"Alright then, I'll buy a few popsicles by the way. When I'm in the woods, that's what I was thinking about!"

Li Yuan couldn't help shaking his head.

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

After speaking, Li Yuan turned around and then squeezed towards the melon seeds shop.

……

"Boss, give me some melon seeds."

Li Yuan squeezed into the crowd and said to the boss in front of the shop.

The boss who sells melon seeds is a married couple, about fifty years old. The man is in charge of frying, and the woman is in charge of selling. The division of labor is quite clear.

When the woman heard Li Yuan's words, she immediately asked with a smile: "Hey, okay, there are ten yuan and eight yuan, which one do you want?"

The price of melon seeds is divided into many grades, heavy, fresh, large, and flat. The price of each melon seed is different.However, the couple in front of them had fewer kinds of melon seeds, and only prepared two prices.

Of course, generally young people will buy big ones, while elderly people who are not too demanding will buy some small ones to go back.

Li Yuan pointed to the ten yuan one.

"That's it, it's 15 yuan."

A catty and a half of melon seeds, enough for three people to eat for one night, if they eat more, they will easily get angry, and these melon seeds are the most delicious only when they are freshly fried.

After the woman heard it, she quickly took the old-fashioned pole in her hand and scooped some in the melon seed basket.

The boss's hand feeling is extremely accurate, a catty and a half of melon seeds, and a stick is just right.

The woman took her right hand away, and said with a smile: "It's a catty and a half, it's tall! Come on, hold it well, be careful of the newly fried ones being hot!"

Li Yuan handed the money in his hand to the boss, thanked him with a smile, and took the melon seeds.

Sure enough, the temperature on the melon seeds in the bag was still hot, apparently they had just been roasted without much effort, but there were not many melon seeds left in the basket just now, which was enough to show how hot the sale was.

Studio.

"The proprietress' technique is too accurate, right?!"

"No, a catty and a half is a catty and a half, not a little bit more."

"The one I saw just now is the oldest one, right?"

"Practice makes perfect."

"These melon seeds are selling too fast. I don't think there are too many people sold in a long time."

"That's right, when you stir-fry melon seeds, the big brother's wok will smoke, right?"

"That's it."

"I think this job sounds hard. It takes hours to work in front of the pot in such hot weather."

Li Yuan quite agrees.

"It's really hard work. This kind of melon seeds is different from that kind of machine. It takes several 10 minutes to fry a pot of melon seeds, but one pot only weighs more than ten catties."

"An experienced chef can fry up to [-] catties in one pot, but this will require more arm strength and consume more physical strength."

"It's better to have an event like this. During the holidays, you have to start preparing some in advance, but the quantity should not be too much, otherwise it will be easy to relapse."

"Some masters can even fry hundreds of catties of melon seeds a day, especially when it's the new year."

"But... of course, there are also those who buy mechanically fried finished products. This kind of labor cost is much lower. Nowadays, many families like to bring them when they have wedding banquets. It is convenient, fast, and cheap."

"It's just that the taste of mechanically fried melon seeds is not as delicious as artificially fried, especially this kind of hot melon seeds that have just been out of the pot, it is a must."

The melon seeds just out of the pot should be cooled for a while before eating, otherwise the melon seeds in the mouth will be a little soft.

After cooling for about half an hour, the melon seeds at this time are unique in terms of texture and taste, and the melon seeds still have a warm breath after entering the mouth, which is the best time to enjoy.

Li Yuan randomly grabbed two of them and put them in his mouth to taste.

Well, it tastes just right.

After buying the melon seeds, Li Yuan went shopping along the road again, but they did come a bit late, and the general pavements were almost sold out.

Li Yuan simply strolled around, and then followed the crowd to the theater.

In the theater at this time, people have already entered and waited.

The playhouse is surrounded by white cloth, and the height is about two or three meters.There were two people in overalls checking tickets at the door, and the crowd entered the venue one by one in a well-mannered manner.

Li Yuan stood outside, through the white theater fence, the bright lights reflected those shadows on the curtain, and just by those shadows, one could already see the crowd moving inside.

Just as Li Yuan was looking at the things inside in a daze, Hu Kai also finished shopping and squeezed to the entrance of the theater.
