Chapter 40 Delicacy Made of Walnuts
Grandpa Shen and Wang Weidong divided the walnuts they brought back, and each family received nearly two hundred kilograms.
After taking the walnuts home, they need to be peeled.
Use a special peeling knife to remove the outer layer of green skin, and then wash away the rotten green skin, soil and other dirt on the surface of the walnut, and you will get a fresh walnut.
Grandma Shen took Shen Qiuqiu and the others to clean the walnuts, and the four of them were busy all afternoon.
After cleaning, the walnuts need to be dried in the sun for seven or eight days. After the water is dried, the dried walnuts that are usually eaten are obtained.
Before drying, Shen Qiuqiu specially put a basketful of fresh walnuts out.
Although dried walnut kernels are fragrant, they have a slight bitterness. She prefers fresh walnuts, which taste sweet, crisp, and tender. They don't taste like nuts, but more like some kind of fruit with not too much juice, and have a light taste. Woody.
Fresh walnuts are not easy to preserve. Knowing that Shen Qiuqiu likes to eat them, Grandma Shen will peel some off every year, carefully tear off the walnut coating on the walnuts, leaving only the white walnut kernels, and then freeze them in the refrigerator until she comes back. Eat slowly while eating.
This year Shen Qiuqiu is at home, so there is no need to trouble grandma.
She moved a small bench and sat in the yard, peeling walnuts and watching TV series on her mobile phone.
Song Na, the little tail, also sat over and peeled walnuts with her. When she saw Shen Qiuqiu's mobile phone, thinking of what happened in the morning, she couldn't help but ask: "Sister, what was that you asked me to get in the morning?"
The little girl has never used a smartphone and rarely watches TV. She doesn't understand many of these high-tech things.
Shen Qiuqiu explained: "That is a gimbal, used to fix the mobile phone so that the video captured will not shake easily."
"Take a video?" Song Na was confused.
Shen Qiuqiu stopped peeling walnuts, wiped her hands on her apron, picked up her mobile phone, and opened the wheat field video.
"Look, this is a video I took before. After editing, you can upload it to the short video platform and share it with netizens. You can also watch short videos shared by others, which is very interesting."
Song Na took the mobile phone handed over to her, and the video of the Mid-Autumn Festival issue was playing on her mobile phone.
The little girl held the mobile phone and watched it with gusto.
After a short video is played, the next one will be played automatically.
Before she knew it, Song Na had read all the works of [Shen Family Xiaoyuan]; Shen Qiuqiu also taught her how to watch short videos posted by others.
The little girl found it very novel. Until Shen Qiuqiu finished peeling a basket of walnuts, she was still holding her phone and watching videos of wheat fields.
Many of the things shown in the short video are novel things that she has never seen before, as well as other people's wonderful lives, as well as all kinds of food and beautiful scenery, which is really interesting.
Afraid that her eyes would hurt after looking at it for too long, Shen Qiuqiu reached out and took back the phone.
Song Na hadn't seen enough yet, and didn't dare to say anything. She looked at Shen Qiuqiu aggrievedly, just like the little orange coveting the little fish.
Shen Qiuqiu said with a smile: "You see, the outside world is very exciting. So, you have to study hard and go to college, so that you can better experience those wonderful and rich lives."
She waved the phone in front of Song Na's eyes, "Xiaoshu also has this phone. When you get into high school, I will buy it for you too. However, you can't delay your studies. You can only play it during the holidays."
Song Na nodded, feeling a little disappointed, but more expectant.
I am suddenly full of motivation for my future study and life.
After dividing the peeled walnut kernels into small bags and placing them in the freezer of the refrigerator, it's dinner time.
Dinner was still very rich, and Grandma Shen also specially made a dish of fried walnuts with fungus and walnuts using fresh walnuts.
On the way down the mountain, Shen Qiuqiu saw a lot of fungus growing on a dead branch, so she picked it back.
It was also when she saw the fungus at home that Grandma Shen suddenly thought of making this dish.
When the dish was first served, Shen Qiuqiu didn't take a closer look and thought it was fried pork with fungus.
I picked up a piece of it with chopsticks and ate it in my mouth. It was not meat, but walnut kernels.
The combination of these two things sounds like dark cuisine, but the taste is surprisingly good, crispy and refreshing.
Shen Qiuqiu couldn't help but take another bite.
Seeing that her granddaughter liked it, Grandma Shen took a spoon and gave her a big spoonful, "It's delicious, I learned this from my grandson's daughter-in-law, the fat lady in the village."
I made it last year, and your grandpa tasted it and said, our little girl will definitely like this dish."
Shen Qiuqiu smiled and nodded, "It's delicious, especially delicious."
Not only is the food delicious, but the sentiment is also heart-warming.
With this fried fungus and walnut kernels, Shen Qiuqiu ate a big bowl of rice.
After the meal, Shen Qiuqiu remembered the frosted walnut kernels she had eaten before, and they tasted very good.
She rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen, preparing to make a plate of glazed walnuts for her grandparents to try.
The method is also very simple. Pour sugar and water into the pot, simmer over the lowest heat, and wait until the water vapor in the pot dries up and turns into a thick sugar juice with small bubbles. At this time, pour in the white vinegar, and then pour in Add walnut kernels and stir-fry quickly until the sugar juice becomes sandy.
Frosted walnut kernels are covered with a layer of snow-white sugar on the outside. The walnut kernels on the inside are sweet and crispy. They taste crunchy and sweet and have a unique flavor. Everyone is full of praise after trying it.
Grandma Shen put a small plate on a plate and ate it as a snack while watching a drama in the evening.
All the old people watch are war-themed dramas, but Shen Qiuqiu doesn't like them very much.
I sat alone on the sofa in the corner and started editing a short video of playing walnuts today.
The scenery of Laodong Mountain is very good, with prosperous plants and towering ancient trees.
Shen Qiuqiu took pictures of a lot of scenery along the way, and was lucky enough to take pictures of squirrels, pheasants and many unknown birds.
Therefore, the copywriting of this short video is, [Go into nature and hit a walnut by the way.]
[Shen's Xiaoyuan] has almost 150,000 fans. Not long after the video was posted, it received a lot of likes and comments.
[Wow, the earth is round: Wow, the little flower can actually climb trees and climb so smoothly, it’s really 666!]
[Miss Almost: Little squirrels and pheasants are very cute, but they are not as cute as the little flower monkey that can climb trees, hahaha! 】
[Sixi Wanzi: This is the first time I have seen such a big walnut tree. I have learned a lot. The walnuts produced by the legendary century-old wild walnut tree must be delicious. [Greedy]]
[Flying little goldfish: Although Xiaohua has always emphasized that she is a farmer and not a beauty blogger. But I was once again stunned by her beauty. I was stunned when we first met, and still am again when we meet again. Xiaohua, even if you are a farmer, you are still beautiful. The farmer with the highest value! No refutation will be accepted!]
[I just want to rely on you: Are Xiaohua and grandma competing in dark cooking skills? Stir-fried walnuts with fungus, glazed walnuts... these are the first time I heard about them. 】
[Nan Shanxia: The walnuts look really good. Do you want to sell them? 】
[Round Little Lidou: I should say it or not, but the frosted walnut kernels made by Xiaohua look pretty good. Why do you call it a dark dish? I object! 】
[Sister doesn’t eat sweets: walnuts seem to be good for the brain. Xiaohua, you eat more, it’s good for your health.]
Shen Qiuqiu saw that many people in the comment area said they wanted to eat it, so she posted a pinned comment.
[Shen Family Xiaoyuan: There are not many walnuts, so we can’t take care of everyone. Friends who want to eat leave a message in the comment area. As of next Saturday, the top five friends with the most likes will be drawn and each person will receive five kilograms.]
