Dressed As a Mother-in-law, She Leads the Whole Family To Turn Over

Chapter 5 Fried Melon Seeds

Dinner was the same wild vegetables and boiled beans. Liu Ye only put a wild egg in it. He looked at Jiang Ning cautiously, for fear of being scolded.

Jiang Ning was focused on the melons and didn't pay much attention to them. Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief and quickly brought the plantains and dandelions in front of her.

Jiang Ning secretly sprinkled a little salt into it while they were not paying attention, so that it would at least have some flavor.

The children saw that she was eating so well and even tried to take a few bites. Yang Sizhuang said: "It's not that delicious! How come my mother-in-law eats so well?"

Jiang Ning ignored him, but looked at Yang Erdan and Yang Xiaoya. They were fine when they went out, but when they came back they had injuries on their faces. At first, she thought they were scratched while handling bamboo, but now they left. It wasn't until she got closer that she noticed something was wrong with the injuries.

Yang Xiaoya trembled when Jiang Ning looked at her, and her little head was buried even lower.

Yang Datou hurriedly helped her out, "Aniang, little sister, they chopped too much, and they can't get it back, which is why it took so long."

Jiang Ning looked at the dozen bamboos. Even if they were playing and working at the same time for a whole day, they wouldn't just do it. There must be something going on inside, but the children didn't say anything, and she was too sensible to ask.

After dinner, Jiang Ning continued to clean up the Trichosanthes trichosanthes. Yang Datou and Yang Erdan came over to help and cleaned up the rotten Trichosanthes trichosanthes seeds according to Jiang Ning's request. At first, they couldn't stand the smell, but after smelling it for a long time, they... got used to.

Jiang Ning left the work to them and processed the fresh melons himself, washed them and cut them in half, then took out the pulp and seeds, washed the peels, turned them inside out and dried them, and then dried them outside.

 There is no sun in the evening, but the mountain breeze blows one night and a few days of sunshine is enough.

When it was time to dry, Jiang Ning discovered that they didn't have a big dustpan at all, so they could only put the wooden board on which she slept on top for the time being.

No one else dared to say anything, but Yang Santie muttered dissatisfiedly: "Mom, if you use your bed to make those things, where will you sleep at night?"

Jiang Ning looked at the two straw mats beside the campfire and said, "If you squeeze in a little bit, if you can't squeeze in, I can make do with leaning against the wall for one night."

 No one said anything.

The few little ones lay down on it when it got completely dark, and soon they all fell asleep. Yang Datou and Liu Ye were exhausted after a day of farm work, and they couldn't care less about being exhausted. When they went there, they heard a loud noise soon. Despite the purring sound, only Yang Erdan remained erect, looking as if he had something on his mind.

He didn't take the initiative, and Jiang Ning didn't force him. Instead, he motioned for him to enter the kitchen and whispered: "Do me a favor and take these melon seed cores to the stream and wash them."

There was a stream passing by near their home. Apart from the sound of gurgling water and the chirping of insects and birds, there was no one around the stream at night. The mother and son quickly washed most of the baskets of melon seeds.

Jiang Ning asked: "Besides the clay pot for cooking, is there anything else we can use to make a fire for cooking?"

Yang Erdan shook his head.

Jiang Ning looked disappointed.

This was the first time Yang Erdan saw his mother-in-law looking so depressed. He racked his brains for a long time, scratched his head and said: "It's not that there is nothing, it just can't be used. There was a half-broken tile on the stove before. The jar was picked up by my sister-in-law to fill it with water."

Jiang Ning quickly took Yang Erdan back. All the children in the yard were fast asleep and not at all alert.

She sighed inwardly and glanced at the broken earthen pot with a smile on her face. Although the thing was not big, it was no problem for frying melon seeds, but Yang Erdan had to be put to sleep first.

She was thinking about how to fool Yang Erdan, and when she turned around, she found that the child was lying down by himself. Perhaps he was exhausted and fell asleep quickly.

Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and started frying the melon seeds. Everything was ready-made, and the seasonings were in the system. You can use them as you go. According to the frying steps given by the God of Cooking system, she first fried the melon seeds until they were seven-mature, and then poured in salt and sugar water. Continue to stir-fry until the color changes. The fried melon seeds are fragrant and the previous smell is completely gone. She took a small taste of one, and her eyes narrowed with happiness.

Liu Ye was awakened by the fragrance, and opened his eyes when he heard the sound in his ears. He happened to see Huang Ye tinkering with the broken earthen pot, and hurried over to help, "Auntie, what are you doing? It smells so good!"

"I woke you up! Try it and see if it tastes good." Jiang Ning gave Liu Ye a melon seed and taught her how to eat it.

Liu Ye's eyes lit up after eating just one, "Auntie, did you make this? What is it made of? There seems to be salt in it. Where did it come from?"

Jiang Ning looked embarrassed and made a gesture to keep quiet, "Keep your voice down, I managed to save it secretly, just a little bit!"

Liu Ye thought about her mother-in-law's virtue and it was indeed something she would do, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions at the moment.

Jiang Ning smiled with satisfaction, "I fried it with the melon and salt that you all despise. Is it delicious?"

"What? How can such a smelly thing make such delicious food?" Liu Ye was not calm at all.

Jiang Ning nodded affirmatively, "I told you yesterday. If you don't believe it, you have nothing to say now! Do you think I can exchange these melon seeds for money if I sell them in the town?"

 Liu Ye nodded like a pound of garlic, "Of course you can!"

She had never tasted such fragrant melon seeds before. She had heard from the aunt in the village that a pound of melon seeds cost five cents in town. She was lucky enough to eat one. It was not as delicious as the melon seeds made by her mother-in-law. They sold a pound of melon seeds for two cents. Sanwen can always be sold!

Jiang Ning must have become more confident after winning Liuye, so he quickly fried all the remaining melon seeds. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy all night, and they only finished frying half a basket of melon seeds at dawn.

Yang Datou and others also woke up. After tasting the melon seeds, everyone was so excited that they looked at Jiang Ning in astonishment, as if they knew her for the first time.

Jiang Ning didn't explain either, and said to several children: "I'm going to the town today to see if I can sell it. Which of you will follow me?"

Yang Datou looked around and stood up, "Aniang, I'll go with you."

The town is no better than the village, with a mixed bag of fish and dragons. Regardless of whether it can be sold or not, he can't let his mother-in-law make trouble outside.

Jiang Ning didn't know what Yang Datou was thinking at all, "Then it's settled. Datou will follow me to the town. Erdan and Xiaoya will pick up the bamboos at home and get some thatch and hemp rope back. If we come back early, After setting up the straw shed, Santie and Sizhuang continued to pick wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain. The work in the fields was hard. "

After arranging the household chores, Jiang Ning asked Yang Datou to help him dry the melons and trichosanthes that had been dried overnight in an open area.

The mother and son left the village and walked to the left. To get to the town, they had to walk a mountain road first. After leaving the mountain, they came to the official road. They had to walk for more than half an hour. People in the village usually don't go to the town. They only go to the big market. They entered the town in groups. There was no big gathering today, and neither mother nor son met many villagers on the road.

When I arrived at the official road, I saw some pedestrians, walking in twos and threes, in a hurry, and looking very cool.

Until the words "Dashan Town" came into view, Jiang Ning took a long breath and pulled Yang Datou to speed up the pace.

In the memory of the original owner, Dashan Town was just a small town with a small population. It had a good geographical location. Businessmen traveling from east to west, north and south often came here to rest and repair. There were more inns and restaurants in the town than in Qingshan Town next door. many.
