191 There is a delicious food called melon seeds
"Brother Dali, can this thing be eaten?"
Yang Zi naturally recognized that the small plate of black beans on the table were sunflower seeds. Could it be that what Brother Niu said was delicious just now?
Wang Shihu and others looked at Niu Dali. They were just leaving the sunflower seeds from the sunflower tray outside the yard. Brother Niu suddenly asked them to enter the house and said that there was something delicious for them to taste.
"Of course! Can I still lie to you?!" Niu Dali didn't care, picked up the melon seeds on the plate, and started kneading in front of Wang Shihu and others.
The melon seeds on the table were actually cooked two days ago and dried five-spice melon seeds. Today, they were just stir-frying and tasting for Wang Shihu and others. After all, Wang Shihu and others have made great efforts in the past three days, so how can they not reward them?
"This is called melon seeds. Just eat the meat inside." Niu Dali said, while keeping his hands grabbing the plate.
Wang Shihu and others were dumbfounded, and from time to time, there were crisp sounds of "crack!crack!" in their ears, and the melon seed skins were placed aside by Niu Dali.
Is it really that delicious?
After being eaten with such relish by Brother Niu, Wang Shihu and others couldn't help swallowing their throats. Driven by curiosity, they picked up a melon seed and started to eat it.
Their speed is not as fast as Niu Dali. Because they were not very skilled at knocking melon seeds at the beginning, but fortunately, the melon seeds are dry and crisp, and just a slight bite can separate the melon seed skin. Wang Shihu and others took out the melon seed meat with their hands and put them in their mouths.
Salty.
But the taste seems pretty good.
Wang Shihu and his friends chewed it a few times, picked up another melon seed and started to knock it.
I didn't think anything at first, but the more melon seeds I ate later, the more fragrant the taste became.
For a moment, hands kept grabbing the plate, and the melon seeds on the plate gradually decreased.
Seeing Niu Dali's hands keep stretching into the plate, the speed is so fast. Yang Zi didn't have the courage to imitate Erya to protect the melon seeds on the plate, and could only beg for grievance: "Brother Niu, eat slowly and leave some for us brothers!"
Wang Shihu and others nodded in agreement. Brother Niu was eating melon seeds very quickly. Even if they added one piece, it would not be enough for Brother Niu to eat more!
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at the pile of melon seed skins on Niu Dali's table, and then look at the sparse melon seed skins on their table. This is simply the difference between the mountains and the mounds!
"The ancients said, eating is like a battlefield. On the battlefield, can you let the enemy show mercy?" Niu Dali said, but his hands didn't stop. When he finished speaking, he had already eaten several melon seeds.
It feels so reasonable!
Wang Shihu and others opened their mouths, looking a little confused, but have the ancients said this?
However, they still understand one thing: if they don’t eat it, the melon seeds will be eaten by Brother Niu alone!
Suddenly, several people were like hungry tigers rushing to knock melon seeds, and Yang Zi even felt that it was too troublesome to knock melon seeds with her teeth, so she chose to crush the melon seed skin with her hands and take out the melon seed meat to eat.
Niu Dali shook his head and pinched melon seeds with his hands. How could he knock it quickly with his mouth?
At the same time, Li Xianglan, Da Ya, Er Ya and Sun Widow were also kneading melon seeds in the side room. They were not rushing to eat melon seeds like Niu Dali and others, but kneading melon seeds while talking and joking.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, the melon seeds on the table of Li Xianglan and his men are more than twice as many as Niu Dali and his men. Not only that, Li Xianglan and the other five eat a plate of melon seeds, while Niu Dali is eight snatching a plate of melon seeds.
"Xiu'er, I didn't lie to you, these melon seeds are delicious!" Erya grabbed a handful of melon seeds in her hand and showed off while knocking them.
"Yeah!" Xiu'er smiled and nodded, "It's really delicious, better than maltose!"
"Of course, this is what I discovered!"
Then, Erya told her about the discovery of Sunflower, and her little face was particularly proud, as if she had made these five-spice melon seeds.
Widow Sun didn't expect that the sunflower was discovered by Erya first. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "At the beginning, everyone thought you were stupid to plant flowers on dry land. Now, who would be stupid? If these melon seeds could be taken to the town to plant those melons and vegetables, it would be much more valuable!"
"Godmother, my father said that we don't plan to sell these melon seeds!" Erya said with a sweet smile.
"What?" Widow Sun looked at Li Xianglan, "Is Erya's words true? Don't you plan to sell such delicious melon seeds in the town?"
Li Xianglan smiled, "Brother Dali said that this year, these melon seeds will be kept for food at home, or give them some to others. When we plant more in the next year, we will sell them some!"
Widow Sun smiled bitterly and shook her head. Although she didn't know how much money these melon seeds could be sold, just because of this taste, I'm afraid many wealthy families would rush to ask for it. Even if they were sold to those restaurants and inns, no one would refuse.
But Niu Dali's family actually planned to keep it at home to eat. You know, Niu Dali's family has six large bags of melon seeds. When will it take to eat it?
However, she also secretly envied Li Xianglan in her heart. From this point of view, the Xianglan family was not worried about the matter of Yinzi.
In the main hall, Wang Shihu and his friends ate the melon seeds on the table, and they still looked unsatisfied. At their age, there are few foods that impress them, except meat and wine, but now they realize that there is another delicacy in the world called melon seeds.
"I haven't eaten such a delicious meal yet." Yang Zi licked his slightly salty upper lip and said in endless aftertaste.
"If I could be served with some wine, that would be even better!" Dajin grinned.
"This is a good idea!" Wang Shihu and his friends lit up their eyes.
Niu Dali thought about it and said that he had never heard of melon seeds with wine. However, fried peanuts with wine are pretty good. Unfortunately, there are soybeans in this world, but there are no peanuts.
"Brother Niu, you want to leave us some of these five-spice melon seeds. I don't want to have more, just one pound!" Thinking of the smell just now, Yang Zi still looked unsatisfied.
"I plan to give you four pounds per person. Since Yang Zi, you want one pound, I will give you one pound!" Niu Dali said with a silly smile.
Yang Zi was stunned and hurriedly said, "No, Brother Niu, just think that my words just now are nonsense. You have never heard of anything."
Wang Shihu and his friends laughed secretly.
The next morning, Niu Dali's family rode to the town with rhubarb and bought a lot of spices. In order to make it easier to cook more five-spice melon seeds, they bought a large iron pot at the blacksmith shop.
