Chapter 374: Third Uncle’s Livelihood

In the countryside, after the peanuts were harvested, they were either used for oil extraction or made into snacks. There were many kinds of snacks that could be made with peanuts. However, in the countryside, the most common method was to stir-fry, deep-fry, and boil them.

Stir-fry peanuts were very special because one had to use sand, the kind of sand at the bottom of the river. The sand could be smooth or coarse. Some liked the sand to be coarse, and others liked them smooth.

After washing and drying the sand, the sand was placed inside an iron pot. The sand was stirred, and when it was hot, the peanuts were placed inside the pots.
