Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 248 Amber Walnut

There was nothing to do today, so the Taoist priest took Mu'er, who had just learned to walk, to practice boxing in the yard.

The little guy is so cute as he follows the instructions and learns in an extremely realistic way.

Grandpa Zhao continued to write his medical book. Xu Han and Lu Chuan had a rare moment of leisure.

The two of them leisurely basked in the sun in the yard, eating nuts such as pine nuts and walnuts.

Winter is the time to eat these things, but we eat less in summer.

"How many snacks are there in the space?" Lu Chuan asked.

"There are not many pine nuts left. I have already eaten most of them. I don't know if I can pick more this year. I think the possibility is very small. But there are still many walnuts and hazelnuts!"

Xu Han answered Lu Chuan while looking at the scene in the space.

"We'll see when the time comes! If there are any, pick some. I see you and the Taoist priest both like to eat them."

The Taoist priest and Xu Han really like pine nuts. They often eat pine nuts since winter. Whenever they have time, they grab a handful of pine nuts and eat them while basking in the sun.

"Yeah! There are still a lot of walnuts! I'll make some snacks for Mu'er someday when I have time."

Xu Han thought for a moment and continued, "Why don't we do it today? Anyway, we have nothing to do right now, and it would be nice to peel walnuts while basking in the sun."

"Okay! I'll go get the hammer." Lu Chuan said and stood up to get the hammer.

Xu Han stood up and went to the kitchen to get a wooden basin to hold the peeled walnut kernels.

Lu Chuan brought another flat stone and placed it on the ground to make it easier to crack the walnuts without having to bend over uncomfortably.

In this way, Lu Chuan was responsible for cracking the walnuts with a hammer, and Xu Han was responsible for peeling the cracked walnuts.

The two of them cooperated with each other and peeled the walnuts quite quickly.

Mu'er saw his parents cracking walnuts, and after practicing boxing for a while, he ran over to join in the fun.

Xu Han took a peeled walnut kernel and handed it to Mu'er, then Mu'er squatted in front of Xu Han, waiting for her mother to feed her walnuts.

The Taoist priest came over when he saw this, took a walnut and put it in his palm, and shouted, "Mu'er, look."

After saying that, he crushed the walnut in his hand with force. Mu'er felt it was magical and clapped her little hands.

Then he picked up a walnut and put it in his hand. He found that he couldn't hold all the walnuts in one hand, so he took them with both hands and squeezed them hard like the Taoist priest.

After squeezing the walnut for a long time, he still didn't see it break. He looked at the Taoist priest with a puzzled look on his face, "Break~"

"Hahaha, my silly son, do you think anyone can crush you? Look, your father hit him with a hammer." Xu Han laughed.

"Hahaha, Mu'er, you are still young now. Do you want to be as powerful as the Taoist priest?" Lu Chuan asked.

Mu'er nodded as she understood. Lu Chuan continued, "Then you should follow the Taoist priest and train well! When you grow up, you will be as powerful as the Taoist priest."

Upon hearing this, Mu'er handed the walnut in her hand to the Taoist priest, and signaled the Taoist priest to crush the walnut again.

After the Taoist priest crushed the walnut, Mu'er took another one and handed it to him, then handed the broken walnut in the Taoist priest's hand to Xu Han, indicating Xu Han to peel the walnut kernel.

When the Taoist priest saw this, he felt as if a flock of crows were flying over his head. It turned out that they were treating him as a walnut-crushing machine!

Lu Chuan and Xu Han laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs and tears came out of their eyes.

Hearing the laughter of Lu Chuan and Xu Han, Grandpa Zhao came out from the backyard very curiously and asked Lu Chuan what happened.

Lu Chuan told Grandpa Zhao what happened just now, and Grandpa Zhao also laughed and said, "You see! Mu'er still likes medical books the most, so don't waste your time. If you hadn't forced Mu'er to practice every day, Mu'er would not be able to resist you, and I guess Mu'er would have stopped practicing long ago."

The Taoist priest rolled his eyes at Grandpa Zhao and said unwillingly, "Don't say it too early. Mu'er is still too young. It's uncertain what will happen in the future!"

"Come here, Mu'er, follow your great grandfather to study medical books!" Grandpa Zhao didn't respond and just carried Mu'er away.

Helplessly, the Taoist priest had nothing to do, so he could only stay and peel walnuts with Xu Han and Lu Chuan.

The Taoist priest doesn't need any tools to peel walnuts. He just crushes them with his hands and then takes out the walnut kernels. The whole process is done in one go, and he is even faster than Lu Chuan and Xu Han!

Moreover, the walnuts peeled by the Taoist priest were all intact and not broken. Xu Han was stunned by this operation.

With the Taoist priest's participation, the speed instantly increased a lot, and in a short while a whole basin of walnuts was peeled.

Then Xu Han got up and went to the kitchen, ready to start making amber walnuts.

First, boil a pot of water. After the water boils, put the walnut kernels in the pot and blanch them. The walnuts after blanching will not taste bitter or astringent, and the amber walnuts made will also taste better.

After blanching the walnuts, rinse them in cold water until the water is clear and not brown.

Because I wanted to make amber walnuts today, I have used up all the water in the space. Fortunately, I still have drinkable scented tea, otherwise Xu Han would not dare to make amber walnuts.

Then heat the oil in a pan, pour more oil, and wait for a while to fry the walnut kernels.

After the oil is hot, pour the walnut kernels into the pot and fry them on low heat until golden brown. Then leave some oil in the pot and add rock sugar. After it melts into caramel color, quickly pour the walnut kernels into the pot.

Stir-fry continuously throughout the whole process to prevent the walnuts from getting burnt, until the syrup is all over the walnuts, then you can serve.

After taking it out of the pan, sprinkle white sesame seeds evenly on the walnuts while they are still hot. At this point, the amber walnuts are ready.

You can't eat it now, it's too hot. The walnuts are not crispy when they are hot, and they will taste better after they cool down.

After making the amber walnuts, it was time for lunch. There was no water today, so they ate the food in Xu Han's space.

I haven’t cooked for a long time, and the food in Xu Han’s space has been almost finished. Many dishes have been eaten, and only some dishes that I rarely ate before are left.

But now there is no choice, if you don’t eat, you will be hungry. But fortunately, the food is not hard to swallow, and everyone is very happy to eat it.

After lunch, Xu Han brought out the amber walnuts she had just made.

"Everyone, come and try the amber walnuts I just made." Xu Han said as she broke apart the amber walnuts that were stuck together.

Mu Er was the first to come over, and Xu Han handed him an amber walnut. "Good, good."

"Delicious, delicious." Lu Chuan patiently guided Mu'er to speak.

"Good time~" Mu'er tried to learn very patiently, but her tongue was not strong enough and she still couldn't speak clearly.
