Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

After breakfast, Mother Lin slapped the table and gave an order, "Since you all have nothing to do, you can go and send the children off by yourself today. I have other things to do. There is also the kitchen, Lin Quan, you take care of it."

"No problem." Lin Quan raised her right hand: "I'm on summer vacation now. I have nothing to do every day. I've done all the housework at home. Mom, you and my sister-in-law just have a good rest."

"That's pretty much it!" Mother Lin muttered and left.

Lin An was going to the army, so the heavy responsibility of sending the children to school fell on Dai Wei.

Xu Wanning wanted to clean up the restaurant and kitchen with Lin Quan, but Lin Quan refused.

"Sister-in-law, please sit down and rest for a while. I'll come back to you after I'm done."

"Row."

While Lin Quan was busy, Xu Wanning went back to the bedroom, locked the door, and took out the materials needed to make fried melon seeds and popcorn from the space.

Creamy melon seeds and spiced melon seeds are the easiest to make, so Xu Wanning decided to teach Lin Quan how to make these two kinds first.

As soon as Xu Wanning prepared the ingredients and Lin Quan tidied up the kitchen, Xu Wanning pulled her to the yard.

"I'll teach you how to fry buttered melon seeds first. The ingredients needed are raw melon seeds, peanut oil, white sugar and quicklime."

In fact, there is also vanilla essence, but this is not sold in the market now, so Xu Wanning did not tell Lin Quan, but put it in a small bowl.

"I already completed the first step last night, let's start the next steps now."

"Sister-in-law, what is the first step?"

"Pour the quicklime into the container, add clean water, it is best to boil the water and then cool it, stir it into lime water, then pour the raw melon seeds into the lime water, and soak it for four to five hours. Then wash it with clean water. Remember, this step must not be omitted, and it must be washed very clean."

"I understand sister-in-law, I'm definitely not lazy."

"The next step is the frying step. What we are making now is creamy melon seeds. We need to first burn the peanut oil until it is medium ripe, then add the melon seeds and stir-fry them continuously. When you notice that the water is almost dry, add more Add some peanut oil, stir-fry over low heat for a while, and when you feel it's almost cooked, sprinkle in sugar water as quickly as you can, then add peanut oil..."

Xu Wanning was demonstrating and analyzing each step with Lin Quan.

"Now that they are cooked, let's proceed to the last step, which is to cool the fried melon seeds."

Xu Wanning took out the melon seeds and placed them on the bamboo board prepared in advance. When spreading them out, she quietly added a few drops of vanilla essence and mixed them evenly.

"It's sunny now. It won't be long before it can be dried. Let's just wait patiently. Take advantage of this time and come and copy it once."

"Sister-in-law, if I fail..."

"If you fail, you will fail. Isn't this normal? How can anyone succeed casually? Come on, I'll watch from the side. If there's anything wrong, I can remind you in time."

"okay."

Lin Quan got started and followed the steps taught by Xu Wanning, slowly making melon seeds.

It's just that she wasn't very skilled at it, so she was in a hurry, and in just a short time, she made a mess in the neat place.

Moreover, the intensity of the fire was not controlled well, and the melon seeds were burnt.

"Sister-in-law..." Lin Quan cried sadly, "So many melon seeds were wasted."

"Don't be afraid. I have prepared enough. We can try a few more times."

Under Xu Wanning's guidance, Lin Quan was able to fry decent buttery melon seeds.

At this time, Xu Wanning's fried food was also ready.

Lin Quan couldn't wait to grab a handful and started eating.

As soon as she took the first one, her eyes lit up, "Sister-in-law, this is delicious, how can this be so delicious!"

"Is it delicious? Can you eat more?" As she said that, Xu Wanning stuffed some more into Lin Quan's hand.

But was rejected by Lin Quan.

"Sister-in-law, you'd better sell this for money. It's so delicious, it can definitely be sold for a lot of money. Sister-in-law, you can try what I made again."

Xu Wanning tasted Lin Quan's finished product carefully and gave sincere suggestions.

"When you stir-fry for the second time, the heat is a little higher, and the heat is turned off too hastily, so the melon seeds are not crispy enough and taste a bit soft, but overall it is very good."

Lin Quan also ate a few fried ones. "It's strange. I obviously cooked them according to your instructions, sister-in-law, but why is the taste so different? I always feel that the ones I fried are not that fragrant."

"Is it possible that you didn't add this?" Xu Wanning shook the small bowl. There was only a little transparent liquid at the bottom of the bowl: "This is the secret weapon. Without this, the creamy melon seeds will lose their flavor. You fry them again. Let’s add this this time.”

"Okay!" Lin Quan fried it again. This time she remembered Xu Wanning's advice and controlled the heat. In the last step, she added vanilla essence. After drying, she took it out to eat. She found that the taste was the same as Xu Wanning's. The fried ones are almost the same.

"Congratulations, you have graduated."

"Sister-in-law, you are amazing!"

Lin Quan jumped up and down excitedly.

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "You are also very good. You succeeded after only a few attempts. Next, there are spiced melon seeds. Do you plan to learn them today or learn them another day?"

Lin Quan thought about it carefully and asked tentatively: "Sister-in-law, do you think this can be done? You fry some spiced melon seeds today, and I can sell three kinds of melon seeds in the evening. Today, I will focus on Creamy melon seeds, when can I fry delicious melon seeds with my eyes closed, can I fry spiced melon seeds again?"

"No problem." Xu Wanning readily agreed, "I'll fry two kilograms of spiced melon seeds first, and you can see how they sell tonight. It's still the same old rule, while I fry it, you watch from the side. Get familiar with it first.”

"Yeah!" Lin Quan stood aside obediently, watching without blinking.

"Compared with creamed melon seeds, spiced melon seeds have more ingredients, including ginger, fennel, star anise, peppercorns, cinnamon, beef, sugar, salt and vegetable oil."

"Wait!" Lin Quan interrupted Xu Wanning, "Do you still need beef? Sister-in-law, there are so many ingredients for spiced melon seeds, how much do we have to sell them for?"

"Don't worry, you only need a little bit of beef, and the ingredients can be used several times after frying once. The whole thing is not expensive." Xu Wanning said mysteriously: "The vanilla essence used to fry the buttered melon seeds is much more expensive than beef. .I’ll make a copy first and you can taste it.”

Xu Wanning was already very familiar with the process of frying melon seeds. After a while, the five-spice melon seeds were also fried.
