With a Door In Mind

Chapter 444 The fragrance wafts over half the village.

When Zhao Baoshan saw Zhou Xiaochuan coming, he understood what he meant.

"Come to get peanuts?"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded upon hearing this, "Well, yes, Captain Zhao."

Captain Zhao nodded, and shouted to the wife at the door, "Go and weigh 5 catties of peanuts, don't use donkeys to eat them. It's better."

The other party didn't know what her husband meant, but she still walked in

After a while, he came out with a willow basket and handed it to Zhao Baoshan.

Captain Zhao took the basket, weighed it, and handed it to Zhou Xiaochuan.

"Five catties is not much more!"

"Then thank you Captain Zhao." After finishing speaking, he handed him the sugar ticket in his hand.

Zhou Xiaochuan took the things and prepared to leave.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Baoshan asked, "Are you going to fry the oil today?"

"Yeah, don't you have to go to work tomorrow? There is no time, anyway, this thing is fast."

Hearing Zhou Xiaochuan's words, Zhao Baoshan just hummed lightly and did not speak.

"I'll change the basket back when I'm done."

After speaking, he left.

Next to her, Aunt Zhao looked at her pensive husband, and asked strangely, "What's the matter?"

Captain Zhao came back to his senses and shook his head lightly, "It's nothing!"

After finishing speaking, he yelled into the room, "Longlong, go and call your brother Sanxi."

The second son of Captain Zhao's family ran out when he heard the words. Hearing his words, he hurried up the mountain with a soft sound.

And Zhao Baoshan stared at the back of Zhou Xiaochuan leaving.

Zhou Xiaochuan returned to Xiaocao's home.

The grass is still feeding the cows there,

I don't know where I got the corn stalks. Seeing the cow eating what he handed over, he was smiling happily.

"Xiaocao, come here and peel the peanuts."

Xiaocao, who was feeding the cow, ran over with a smile.

"Brought peanuts."

"For a change, quickly bring a basin."

Hearing this, Xiaocao hurried back and came out with a basin.

The two were peeling peanuts at the door.

After hearing the news, Grandma Miao also joined the ranks of peeling peanuts.

The three of them hadn't stripped a few, when they saw Zhao Sanxi bringing Longlong, the second son of Captain Zhao's family, over.

Seeing the other party coming, Zhou Xiaochuan smiled and said, "Brother Sanxi, why do you have time to come here?"

"Fifth mother!"

Sanxi did not return to him, but first greeted Grandma Miao.

"Sanxi is here, find something to sit on."

Zhao Sanxi squatted directly in front of several people and said with a smile: "No need for fifth mother, I'll just squat."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Zhou Xiaochuan and said with a smile:

"San San asked me to come over and see if there is anything I can help."

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan understood Captain Zhao's meaning.

Come over and see how you extract oil, and see if you are fooling people.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Okay, anyway, I'm worried that no one will peel peanuts for me. Let's go together."

"Okay, Longlong, come and peel together."

Sanxi smiled and picked up the peanuts and began to peel them, not forgetting to greet Longlong beside him.

Longlong smiled a little embarrassedly.

He squatted beside Sanxi and began to peel.

Zhou Xiaochuan swallowed while watching the two little guys peeling.

He smiled and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you eat a little."

Although Zhou Xiaochuan said it, Xiaocao and Longlong still didn't eat peanuts.

Peeling peanuts by five people is much faster, and five catties of peanuts are peeled in ten minutes.

Zhou Xiaochuan took the peeled peanuts and weighed them.

About a little over three catties.

This is also because the peanuts given by Captain Zhao are relatively plump.

Everyone else was watching Zhou Xiaochuan's actions curiously, not knowing what he was going to do.

Only Sanxi knew what he was going to do.

Also looked curiously.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled at Grandma Miao and said, "Grandma Miao, help me boil a pot of water, I will steam things later."

After hearing the words, Grandma Miao let out a soft voice, and went back to the house to start boiling water.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan washed the peanuts with water, then put them on the stone mill and began to grind them.

In less than half an hour, 3 catties of peanuts were ground into peanut noodles.

It's just that peanuts have moisture, and they are ground like bean curd residue, without turning into powder.

slimy.

However, the particles inside are still relatively large.

When I came to the house, the water had boiled several times.

Picking up the grate hanging on the wall, put the peanut noodles on it to steam.

Seeing this, Sanxi asked strangely: "Xiao Chuan, why are you squeezing peanut oil and steaming it?"

"Brother Sanxi, don't be in a hurry? By the way, you and Xiaocao help me clean and heat up the pot next door."

Zhao Sanxi let out a soft voice, and took Xiaocao and Longlong to Zhou Xiaochuan's room.

Grandma Miao here knew what Zhou Xiaochuan was going to do after hearing what the two of them said.

Hearing that it was going to squeeze oil, he was surprised, "Xiao Chuan, you want to squeeze oil? Do you know how to do this? Don't waste such good peanuts."

She didn't know what he was doing with peanuts before.

Listening to it now, I feel a pity on my face. How can peanut oil be so easy to squeeze? Such good peanuts are wasted.

Seeing her expression, Zhou Xiaochuan smiled. "Grandma Miao, don't worry, you'll know after a while."

Hearing the words, the other party let out a soft oh.

At this time, every household in the village began to emit cooking smoke. It was time to eat.

But a few people are not in a hurry.

Anyway, there are some pancakes, just slip away for a while.

Very fast.

After steaming for about ten minutes, the peanuts are all cooked. He just opened the lid of the pot.

And the pot next door was almost hot.

Take the steamed peanut noodles to the next door, where Sanxi is pulling the bellows and adding firewood.

Seeing Zhou Xiaochuan come in, he smiled and said, "Are you going to start?"

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he heard this. "Well, just stir fry it."

After speaking, pour the peanut noodles into the pot and start frying.

While frying, he smiled at Grandma Miao, "Grandma Miao, go cook, it will be dark soon."

Grandma Miao let out a soft voice when she heard the words, but she didn't leave.

The two little guys, Xiaocao and Longlong, have been wandering around behind Zhou Xiaochuan's butt from the very beginning.

Three catties of peanuts is not much, as the water inside disappears.

The smell of roasted peanuts filled the air.

While pulling the bellows, Sanxi watched without blinking.

Zhou Xiaochuan didn't care either. The most important thing about this thing is the heat. The fire is not enough to produce less oil, and the oil is not fragrant.

In the same way, if it is fried, it will not only cause cancer, but it will no longer produce oil.

It's peanut flour by now.

Under the monitoring of his mind, the fried peanuts were cooked through, and they were only one step away from being mushy.

The aroma and oil yield are at their best at this time.

Then hurriedly copied out the fried peanut noodles.

Because it has not cooled completely, the peanut noodles are not oily yet.

Sanxi saw that there was no trace of oil at all, so she asked, "Did you ... burn it?"

"Brother Sanxi, don't worry. It's still a while."

While talking, he turned over and over again with a spatula, letting the peanuts

It was already very noisy outside.

"Xiaocao, Xiaocao. What did your family do?"

"Yes, it smells so good."

"It should be fried peanuts."

The peanuts are made into powder, and the aroma is very strong after frying.

People nowadays eat less.

Nature that can emit fragrance is more attractive.

This situation will only appear during the Chinese New Year, when every household is frying things.

But not as strong as today's fragrance.

Didn't you see Xiaocao and Longlong, the two little guys, the sound of swallowing saliva has not stopped?

But they all stood outside the door and did not come in.

Xiaocao went out after hearing the words.

After a while, Captain Zhao and Accountant Feng also came over.

I want to see how Zhou Xiaochuan is doing.

The two didn't speak after they came in, they just watched like this.

Ten minutes later, the peanut noodles cooled down, and the fragrance gradually faded away.

Zhou Xiaochuan took out a small piece of gauze from his bag and put the peanut bread inside.

Seeing this, Sanxi said in surprise, "Xiao Chuan, why are you wearing gauze when you come here?"

While Zhou Xiaochuan took the cold peanuts out of the yard, there were quite a few people in the yard at this time.

Didn't care about other people either.

Take the two round cutting boards I bought to the edge of the stone mill, and put the cloth bag containing peanut powder on top of the two cutting boards.

He cut a small groove on the lower cutting board, which will be used for oil later.

Then I looked around and found a piece of wood as thick as an arm, one end was stuck on the stone mill, and the other end was pressed by the mission.

In the end the whole person sat on one end of the stick.

The others held their breath and watched Zhou Xiaochuan's movements.

It was dusk outside now.

But the people nearby did not intend to disperse, and more and more gathered, and some adults came to stand outside the dojo.

They were all whispering.

As the first drop of oil came out and fell into the bowl of the sea below, there was a sound of exclamation from outside.

"It's oily, it's really oily."

"Yeah, is it that simple?"

...

Then the speed of oil output is getting faster and faster.

Zhou Xiaochuan complained beside him that it was inconvenient without tools.

Not only did he use his thoughts to keep the gauze from being squeezed, but he also wanted the oil to come out quickly.

Otherwise, when will we get it.

Even so, by the time the oil in the big sea bowl was almost full, half an hour had passed.

It was getting dark outside by now.

Zhou Xiaochuan stopped what he was doing, and Feng Yue's voice came from beside him, "Zhou Xiaochuan, are you really good at extracting oil?"

Zhang Aijun was also surprised for a while. "Yeah, I didn't see it, where did you learn it!"

When a few educated youths came over, he knew, but he just ignored them.

Then he looked at Captain Zhao.

The other party picked up the large bowl on the ground, looked at it for a while, and said to Captain Feng next to him in surprise: "It must weigh a catty."

Captain Feng nodded upon hearing this.

Although there is no specific weight, but a catty is almost the same.

Captain Zhao then turned his head and asked Zhou Xiaochuan, "Is this the peanuts I gave you earlier?"

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan smiled and looked at Zhao Sanxi. "Captain Zhao, Brother Sanxi has been watching from the beginning to the end."

Captain Zhao then looked at Sanxi. I saw the other party nodded slightly.

Seeing Sanxi's actions, Captain Zhao fell into deep thought.
