31 melon seeds
Although he didn't know how to set up the pot table, she could rely on her imagination, and after measuring the size of the pot, she started to make a circle of similar size on the ground.
I got a bucket of water and some soil in the ground, and it turned into mud.
Put the stones you picked up into circles, and then cover them with mud.
Just like this, she went up layer by layer, and not long after, a semicircular stove appeared in front of her.
After doing all this, to prevent it from being weak and collapsing, she once again got some soil and water, got some mud, added some dried grass, and then applied another layer.
When he saw that the stove was almost ready, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, took a rest, and started weeding in the ground with a hoe.
She had only cleaned up the grass before, but did not hoe off the roots. During this period, a lot of grass had grown back, so she hoeed all the grass in the ground.
After picking up all the hoeed grass roots and throwing them aside, I started to take out the melon seeds to dry them, and put them together in categories, including the seasonings.
There are various condiments in a basin, all packed in packages.
She still knew most of the process of making melon seeds, but there was a small part that she didn't know.
Usually it is melon seeds, water, salt, cinnamon, fennel, pepper, and sugar.
She found a small cloth bag, mixed star anise, cinnamon, pepper, fennel and other spices together, tied them together and wrapped them.
Then he went outside and brought two buckets of water. After he came in, he cleaned the big pot, filled it with water, and then slowly placed it on the stove.
Using the weeds in Yuling Space as firewood, and adding the firewood she brought in before, a fire started.
The spices were thrown into it, and after the fire boiled the water, she added some sugar.
When she felt that it was almost cooked, she threw the dried melon seeds directly in and started to cook slowly over low heat.
Sometimes, she kept stirring there, because after all, there was sugar in it, and it might burn if she wasn't careful, so she was extra careful.
After cooking for about half an hour, the moisture inside was almost gone, so she carefully put all the contents into a dustpan.
Use the spoon in your hand to spread it out little by little to dry.
After doing all this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, so she quietly took out a melon seed, put it in her mouth, and tasted it.
Although it is not as delicious as expected, in this era, it is quite good to be able to eat such a taste.
Does she feel like something is missing?
After thinking about it, she directly made a thick cotton glove out of the little cotton she bought. Although the cotton glove looked very ugly, it was very good at insulating heat.
When the water on the melon seeds was almost dry, she lit the fire again,
When the pot was hot, she took some of the melon seeds, threw them directly into the pot, put the cotton gloves on her hands, and started frying them little by little.
Since there is no baking oven, she can only use this primitive method to fry the melon seeds until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
