63. Fried Rice Candy

The peanuts grown by Ji Ping'an's family are large yellow-skinned peanuts. Although the taste is not as good as the red-skinned small-seeded peanuts, they have a high yield.Most rural people put yield first, and few will give up high-yield crops because of the pursuit of taste.

Moreover, it has less deflated seeds, and the peanuts are uniform in size and plump, and it tastes no worse than red-skinned peanuts.The aroma of peanuts wafts out after a while in the iron pan.

The layer of film on the fried peanuts will loosen, and the skin will be separated from the peanuts after gently kneading and blowing.Xiao Huang stretched his head and stared at the yellow and white peanuts in the Shau Kei: "It smells so good~"

Ji Pingan smiled and rubbed his head: "These are used to make rice cracker candies, I'll fry peanuts for you later!"

Xiao Huang could still tell the difference between a meal and a meal, he shook his wings and compromised: "Okay~"

Speaking of frying peanuts, this is something that everyone in Qingshuiwan knows. Just put the shelled peanuts in an iron pan and stir fry.However, the taste of peanuts fried by everyone is different. Some people's fried peanuts will be a little mushy when the fire is too high.For some people, the heat is not enough, and the fried peanuts will be a little bit raw.

Ji Pingan's level of fried peanuts is relatively stable, mainly because he has a secret weapon.

Now he went to the chicken coop and began to search for his secret weapon. After a while, he found an oiled paper bag from under a broken jar turned upside down next to the chicken coop.After tearing open the dirty oil-paper bag, there was a gray cloth bag inside.

After opening the cloth bag, I saw a bag of black things in the cloth bag.Xiaobai reached out and took a few grains and looked at them: "What is this? Is it sand?"

Ji Pingan said: "This is the river sand my grandma used. It's the best for frying peanuts, melon seeds, sugar and chestnuts."

The sand is a circle smaller than cloudy rice, and the grains are round and bright, and it really looks a little old.

Xiao Bai was happy: "Everything in Ping'an's house is old." As he spoke, he lifted the cloth bag: "Do you need to clean it?"

Ji Pingan shook his head: "No need, the sand is actually very clean, if there are dirty things in it, just shake it with a bamboo sieve."

Ji Pingan took some sand and put it in a fine-meshed bamboo sieve and shook it, only some small debris fell out of it.The sand can just spread shallowly on the bottom of the pot.

After dropping a few drops of soybean oil on the sand, the color of the sand became darker and brighter. When you stir fry with a spatula, you can hear them making a soft sound when they touch the iron pan.

After a while, green smoke rose from the sand. At this time, Ji Pingan had already brought the basin containing the yin rice to the stove, and at the same time, there was a large empty basin beside it.

Ji Pingan put a copper spoon in the yin rice pot, he poured a spoonful of yin rice into the pot, and at the same time quickly shoveled up the surrounding sand to cover the yin rice.There was only a slight cracking sound from the pot, and white rice flowers appeared on the dark sand.

There are people in Pingqiao Town who specialize in helping popcorn, but the popcorn popped by the machine is round and tastes a bit empty.Ji Pingan doesn't like that kind of rice flower, he just loves the popped rice flower at home.

The popped rice flowers are a circle larger than the cloudy rice, and they are long strips like boiled rice.The freshly popped rice flowers are pure white in color, and the individual grains look very cute.Wait a little longer, and the rice flower will be baked into a slightly yellowish color by the heat of the sand.

Ji Pingan quickly stirred the sand in the pot, and after a while, a layer of yellow-white rice flowers appeared on the surface of the sand.At this time, he quickly filled the sand and rice flower in the pot into the small bamboo sieve that he had prepared earlier.

I only heard the sound of rustling, and the sand fell from the eyes of the bamboo sieve into the pot, but the rice flowers stayed on the bamboo sieve.

At this time, Xiaobai finally understood why Ji Pingan repeatedly told Xiaohuang not to play with shady rice when he was drying the shady rice.If the yin rice is broken, it will become smaller in size, and it will fall into the pot together with the sand when sieved.

A few grains of broken rice did fall into the pot along with the sand, and the heat quickly scorched the yellowish-white rice flakes.However, these burnt rice flowers will not affect the next frying. If there are too many burnt rice flowers, there will be a layer of gray and black at the bottom of the pot. Just put them out and shake them in a thin-eyed bamboo sieve. .

Ji Pingan put the popped rice crackers in a wooden basin on the side. He obviously only scooped up a small spoonful of cloudy rice, but there was a bowl of popped cracked rice crackers.

He greeted Xiaobai and Xiaohuang: "You can try the taste of rice crackers, it's delicious."

The freshly popped rice crackers are crispy and full of crispy rice fragrance.This kind of rice is called fried rice in Qingshuiwan. When you are hungry, you can squeeze a handful and throw it into your mouth to satisfy your hunger and fill you up.If you don’t want to cook, soak a bowl of fried rice and add sugar or salt to it, which are two other flavors.

Xiao Bai pinched a small handful of fried rice and chewed it. The rice flakes cracked between his teeth and made a slight crackling sound, and the slightly sweet rice fragrance permeated the entire mouth.Unexpectedly, the rice that he usually eats can produce such a texture and taste. Xiaobai fell in love with fried rice instantly.

Xiao Huang was thinking about fried rice candy, he ate very reservedly today.At this moment, he took a handful of fried rice with his spiritual energy and sat on a chair beside him. Grains of fried rice lined up and jumped into his mouth. Every time a grain of fried rice jumped into it, he would chew it lightly.

Compared with eating, Xiao Huang prefers to play.

The fried rice in the pot piled up more and more, and soon a big pot couldn't hold it.Xiao Baiyan quickly changed another empty pot, and he put the whole pot of fried rice aside: "A lot of fried rice."

Ji Pingan said with a smile: "It looks like a lot now, but part of it is made into fried rice candy, part of it is given to Lang Zi, and the rest is not much."

As soon as he heard that He Lang was going to give the fried rice in the wooden basin, Xiao Huang immediately stopped playing. He opened his mouth and ate the fried rice.Ji Pingan was happy when he saw Xiao Huang's posture: "Xiao Huang is not happy anymore."

Xiaobai smiled and said, "He may feel that He Lang has lost money."

Xiaobai has been at Ji Ping'an's house for so long, according to his observation, He Lang brings things here much less than when he carries them away.This made Xiaobai think that He Lang was the one who took advantage of Ji Ping'an.

Ji Pingan said with a smile: "If the fried rice is not stored properly, it will easily become soft, and the taste will be bad. It's good to give Langzi a portion, but the three of us can't eat that much."

In previous years, Ji Pingan would store fried rice or fried rice sugar in oiled paper bags, but the oiled paper bags are also breathable.Five or six days at most, the fried rice inside will not be crispy.

Hearing what Ji Pingan said, Xiao Huang probed for the feathers under his wings, and after a while he took out a bright yellow bag from under his wings: "Here, use this to store fried rice and it won't soften."

Xiaobai froze for a moment, isn't this the Qiankun bag of the Yu clan?With this, not to mention fried rice, even a living person can be loaded.The treasure of the Yu clan, he took it out as soon as he said it.This made Xiaobai a little uncertain, Leng Changtian... has he recovered his memory?

But looking at the way he plunged into the fried rice bowl, there was really no clue.

Even though Ji Pingan didn't know the goods, he also saw the extraordinary origin of this bag at a glance. He couldn't laugh or cry: "Xiao Huang, why don't you want to give the fried rice to He Lang?"

Xiaobai took the bag for Ji Ping'an: "Borrow it and use it first."

Ji Pingan smiled and shook his head: "No, Xiao Huang should keep this bag. I believe that with Xiao Huang's eating speed, it won't take five or six days for the fried rice and fried rice sugar at home to go into his stomach."

Xiaobai nodded after thinking for a moment: "It makes sense."

Ji Pingan only fried one pot of yin rice, and he got two big pots of fried rice.He plans to fry the remaining yin rice before the Chinese New Year, so that Xiao Huang will not be afraid of stealing it.

Taking advantage of the hot sand in the pot, Ji Pingan added some more sand to it.After the sand was hot, he poured the shelled peanuts into the pot and started frying them.

With hot sand as a medium, the peanuts are heated more evenly, and the peanuts are cooked after a stick of incense.Ji Pingan separated the peanuts from the sand and packed them in a dustpan again: "The peanuts are hot now, and the taste is soft. After a while, they will become brittle when they cool down."

This was for Xiao Huang, but Xiao Huang didn't take it to heart at all.His mind has already flown to fried rice candy: "Ping An, make fried rice candy!"

Ji Pingan smiled: "I'll do it right away."

After filling the sand in the pot into a fine-eyed bamboo sieve, Ji Pingan cleaned the small pot.While the pot was still hot, he poured half a catty of water into it.Why is it half a catty, because Xiaobai saw Ji Pingan take out the weight from the scale at home with his own eyes.

Seeing Xiaobai's doubts, Ji Ping'an explained: "There is a ratio of water and sugar to make fried rice candy. Only when the ratio is right can we make delicious candy that is neither sweet nor greasy."

Xiaobai smiled and said, "I see."

He thought that he could make it by mixing fried rice and sugar, but it seemed that he was beginning to lose his knowledge.

After pouring the water into the pot, Ji Pingan added a catty of sugar.This is not over yet, he took out the maltose he bought from Pingqiao Town last time.The maltose in Pingqiao Town had been torn into white candy cubes, and Ji Pingan put a catty of sugar cubes on the weighing pan.

Xiaobai was speechless: "Ping An, how much fried rice candy do we have to make? So much sugar?"

To be honest, Xiaobai felt terrified every time he saw Ji Pingan releasing sugar.He felt that if he continued to eat like this, all three of his family would be unable to move forward.

Ji Pingan smiled and said, "What do you think? Fried rice candy needs a lot of sugar to taste good. Here is only sugar for making five catties of fried rice. If you want to make more, you need more sugar."

Xiaobai suddenly felt that what he ate was not fried rice candy, but what he ate was candy!

After the water in the pot boiled, Ji Pingan poured the sugar into the pot and slowly stirred it.The white sugar melted quickly in the water, and a layer of fine bubbles appeared at the bottom of the pot.

At this time, Ji Pingan threw the maltose into the pot. The small stone-like maltose made a rattling sound when it fell into the pot, but they melted quickly after touching the sugar water in the pot.

The small flame at the bottom of the pot burned unhurriedly, and Ji Pingan patiently stirred the maltose and sugar water together.The sugar water in the pot turned a beautiful golden yellow, and soon large bubbles appeared in the pot.

Ji Pingan quickly poured half a catty of cooked peanuts, five catties of fried rice and black sesame seeds for decoration into the pot. He quickly mixed these three ingredients and syrup, but the fried syrup was very sticky , it takes a lot of effort to mix them evenly.

At this time, Xiaobai needs to appear on the stage, Xiaobai took the spatula and said, "I'll do it!"

It's right to leave the effort to him!Xiaobai just wants Ji Pingan to see his heroic appearance!

He just took the spatula and stirred it twice, and the fried rice sugar became the medium for bonding the spatula and the pot.With a bang, the cauldron at home was uprooted by Xiao Bailian.

Ji Pingan couldn't hold back a chuckle, and Xiao Huang laughed even louder: "Hahahahaha!"

noob:……

He just wanted to find a quiet corner to stay for a while.

The author has something to say:

The fried rice I ate when I was a child was all fried with Yin rice, but I didn't know it myself.Later, when I came out, I found that the rice cracker candies sold on the street were all popped by popcorn machines. The rice grains were round and looked very big.

However, I think the rice cracker candy made from Yinmi is delicious, without the empty feeling, and the taste is more crispy.

But this thing... is a heat bomb!Eat a bite and gain a catty!

Today's Xiaobai failed to play handsome, and today's old cat has to pull out the wisdom tooth on the other side.

Goodbye, friend, goodbye, friend, goodbye~
