General, Madam Called You To Farm

Chapter 121 – Warmth (1)

Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to make peanut butter, and Father Su also voluntarily (forced) to join the peanut shelling team. 

 

-Peanut butter

“Jie1, I’ve finished peeling a basin.” Su Ergou put a basin of peanut kernels on the stove, “Do you still want to peel more?”

1Jie (姐) : older sister. 

“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao said.
And after a pause, she said again, “It’s too cold outside, you can come inside to peel it.” 

“Okay!” Su Ergou went outside and brought in a sack of peanuts, along with his brother-in-law and his father.

The two persons, father-in-law and son-in-law, become a group who crushed and peeled the peanuts.
They were so sluggish and slow, to the point that they were often reprimanded by the Supervisor Su Ergou. 

Wei Ting was young and his hands were fast.
When Father Su had just peeled a dozen peanuts, he had already filled a large bowl. 

Father Su took advantage of his unpreparedness and swiftly exchanged the bowls of the two of them! 

Su Xiaoxiao turned around and her almond eyes widened, “Wei Ting! How come you only peeled these few pieces?” 

Father Su waved his hand and said, “Aiyaah, don’t blame my son-in-law.
It’s dad who peeled too fast.” 

Wei Ting: .…..Really, how could you still want some recognition?

The little ship of father-in-law and son-in-law, it just turned over as soon as you said turned over! 

 

-Friendship can be very strong as well as very fragile.
It’s about self-interests, and the friend-ship will overturn easily.

Su Xiaoxiao poured the peanut kernels into a large hot pot and stir-fried them.
With low heat and no oil, this process really depends on the speed of stir-frying. 

The three little guys came back from showing off to the next door and gathered around the stove to watch Su Xiaoxiao stir-fry peanuts.

The whole family just gathered in the kitchen illuminated by the fire and oil lamps.
The cold wind was howling outside, but everyone felt it was a warm winter.  

Once the peanut skin became darker, and the peanut kernels turned slightly yellow, they were ready to be taken out of the pan.
Put them in a sieve and shake them to remove the skins, and peel the rest with your hands. 

Su Xiaoxiao washed and dried the millstone and divided half of it for Wei Ting to grind, while she put the other half into the mortar. 

 

-Millstone 

-Mortar and pestle

Su Ergou didn’t understand and asked, “Jie, what are you doing?” 

Su Xiaoxiao patiently said to her younger brother, “It’s the same, I want to make peanut butter.
I just want to give it a try, which process tastes better, the grounded or the pounded one?” 

Su Ergou’s enthusiasm was high, but Father Su and Wei Ting wanted to slack off again. 

Father Su pretentiously said, “Aiyaaah, my hand hurts.” 

Su Xiaoxiao: “You can use your left hand to grind it.
It’s just a small millstone, and it doesn’t take much effort.” 

Wei Ting stretched out his long leg that was tied with gauze and said, “My leg……” 

Su Xiaoxiao: “You don’t need legs to pound peanuts.” 

The duo father-in-law and son-in-law continued to work with their heads bowed down. 

The millstone peanut butter, first used the millstone to grind it twice, mixed it with cold water, and then put it into the millstone again and ground it several times.
The more it was grounded, the smoother the result would be. 

Su Xiaoxiao asked Father Su to grind half of them roughly, for adults to eat.
And ground the other half smoothly, for the three little ones to eat. 

This standard of smoothness was not as smooth as the one she had in her previous life, because it came out with a little grainy texture. 

Su Xiaoxiao continued to stir fry the peanuts and took up the prestige of production supervisor.

Su Ergou peeled the peanut shells and the outer skin of peanut kernels.
And while doing that, he also supervised the workers Father Su and Wei Ting, like a workshop director. 

The three little ones were in the quality control department, they were responsible for tasting the peanuts that were fried by Su Xiaoxiao.
Father Su ground it into peanut butter, and Wei Ting pounded it into peanut puree. 

 

-Peanut puree 

The family had a clear division of labor.

In the blink of an eye, only a small half of a sack of peanuts remained.

The rich aroma of peanuts permeated the entire kitchen, it was warm and fragrant, even the Liu family next door could smell it. 

Mrs.
He, who was lying under the blanket, her mouth was drooling because of the smell: “What did the Su family do again?” 

“Who knows!” Niudan’s father rolled over and turned his back to Mrs.
He.
He was also drooling uncontrollably.

The Su’s family seemed to have a turn of luck somehow.
They suddenly ate meat, and they ate the meat every day, in every meal!
