Nine Zero, the cannon fodder wife of the paranoid boss is reborn

Chapter 23 Sugar Fried Chestnuts
She did all the things that he didn't even dare to think about. Not only did nothing happen, but the elder brother asked him to coax her. Although he was a little disappointed, the elder brother knocked on the door not to find him, but he still hoped to help.

Xiao Wei scratched his head and tried to think of a way: "Then I will roast sugar cane and roast chestnuts for you?"

Bai Lu knew that sweet potatoes could be roasted, yams could be roasted, and chestnuts could be roasted with sugar, but she had never heard of it. Sugar cane and chestnuts could also be roasted, so she turned her head curiously.

"Say it again, what are you baking?"

The food that Xiao Wei took from the Eight Immortals Table was all put in the coat pocket that he made temporarily by lifting the hem of the clothes manually. Fruit cakes and sugar cane were piled up in a pile. A dark brown chestnut about the size of an adult's thumb.

Passed it to Bai Lu, and said again: "Roasted sugar cane, roasted chestnut."

Bai Lu stared at a small ball of chestnuts in front of her with sparkling eyes: "Can you make sugar-fried chestnuts?"

"What is that?"

Seeing that she was finally interested, Xiao Wei thought hard for a while, but in the end he could only shake his head sincerely.

"I've never heard of sugar-fried chestnuts. Our chestnuts are picked and usually boiled or roasted. They can also be eaten raw when they are just harvested."

Bai Lu suddenly realized.

No wonder, every time she went to the street, she would see food stalls selling roasted sweet potatoes, bean curd flower, eight-treasure porridge in sugar water, or noodles.

I have never seen anyone selling sugar-fried chestnuts.

Because it is located in the subtropical zone and has a unique geographical advantage, G province is the kingdom of fruits in later generations, and chestnuts are certainly one of the original places.

However, before that, due to the lack of migrant workers, underdeveloped information, traffic congestion and other reasons, even after many years of reform and opening up, the streets were still full of old pavements, and there were no new self-employed people from outside.

There is no new approach to old things. Even if they are piled up on the hillside, they are like dusty pearls and are forgotten in the corner.

Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar are a popular snack in later generations. There are often long queues in front of shops opened in major developed cities. Unfortunately, the practice has not been spread here.

A great opportunity to make money in this life is missed every day.

Xiao Wei didn't understand, and as he was talking, Bai Lu suddenly stared at the chestnut in his hand in a daze, the eyes that gradually changed to look like a wolf and a tiger made his hair stand on end.

It feels... as if my hand is a braised pig's trotter, and she will bite it off in the next second!
"You, if you like to eat chestnuts, there are many more on the tree."... Don't stare at my hand to chew.

Xiao Wei originally thought that coaxing Bai Lu for his brother would be an easy task, but now it seems very dangerous.

Realizing her gaffe, Bai Lu immediately turned back into a smiling face, "Where are there a lot of trees?"

Xiao Wei raised his head and raised his chin.

"On your head."

Standing by the edge of the vegetable garden is a sturdy tree, about 20 to [-] meters high, with luxuriant branches and deep roots, so big that it can be used as a sun umbrella for half the vegetable garden.

Not only are there trees along the edge of the vegetable garden, but also the fence area of ​​the wide vegetable garden is full of big trees at intervals.

Every time Bai Lu came here, she would pass by in a flash, thinking it was just some old, ordinary big trees, and occasionally she would sit under the trees for a short rest when she was tired from weeding.

Never thought that these are all fortune trees!
But when she looked up at this moment, she only saw lush green leaves, not even a flower, let alone chestnuts.

"Where's the chestnut?"

Bai Lu looked bewildered.

Xiao Wei was even more at a loss for her ignorance: "The chestnut tree will only start to bloom next month, and the chestnuts will only mature after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Of course there is nothing now."

Ah this...

Bai Lu forgot that the high technology of later generations has matured, grafting technology, precocious technology, etc. have been popularized.

Many fruit trees have a mature period throughout the year. Even if they don't, they have developed an early maturity period. Special cold chain storage for fruits and vegetables, fresh fruits and vegetables are available all year round.

But now, here, it is still in the 90s, all fruit trees grow naturally, bloom and bear fruit naturally.

There are no scientific research products with year-round results.

The dream of getting rich has just been dreamed, and it is broken?

Xiao Wei saw that Bai Lu's face changed from excitement, joy, to disappointment, and sighed, feeling that the mission was about to fail, he quickly said: "There are still a lot of chestnuts at home."

"How many?" Bai Lu lacked interest.

The whole town doesn't even have a TV set, let alone a refrigerator, how to store chestnuts without freezing them.

If the old method is preserved, it is estimated that the pulp will shrink and dry out, and the taste will not be the same after frying.

Xiao Wei said, "Four sacks."

"How big is the sack?" Bai Lu asked.

Out of the corner of Xiao Wei's eyes, he caught a glimpse of the tall and straight figure in the dark, and immediately straightened his small body.

"Bigger than me."

Bai Lu raised her eyes to look at the little guy, and the flames in her eyes that had just been extinguished instantly ignited again.

"Where is it? Take me to see it!"

The sacks in the 90s are not small, and the chestnuts are filled with hundreds of catties. Even if they are not stored properly, only half of the chestnuts are good, which is not a small sum.

Xiao Wei led the way.

Bai Lu took the chestnut in his hand, opened it and found that the flesh was light yellow, obviously intact.

I tried one, and it tasted crisp and sweet, almost the same as the freshly picked chestnuts.

"How is this preserved?"

The wisdom of the ancestors is too invincible!

Xiao Wei brought Bai Lu to the firewood room, pointed to a ventilated corner, "There."

Bai Lu only saw a pile of sand.

To be precise, it is a large pile of sand that is very high and wide.

She saw the rain leaking in the kitchen last time when she came here to cook, but she didn't take it seriously.

In Xiao Cheng's memory, when he bought this house, the sand pile already existed. It is estimated that the former owner bought more than used up when he built the house, and left over.

While Bai Lu was meditating, Xiao Wei had already put the things in his pockets aside and went to dig the sand pile.

After a while, a coarse cloth bag as big as him was dug out, and he dragged it in front of Bai Lu by hands and feet.

"There are three more bags in there."

The coarse cloth bag filled with chestnuts is almost the same material as a gunny bag, and it is indeed more ventilated than plastic bags.

It is also very big, and it looks like it weighs more than a hundred catties.

Bai Lu was full of surprise: "Put the chestnuts in coarse cloth bags and bury them in the sand, won't they spoil?"

Xiao Wei felt that she didn't look like a local at all, why didn't she even understand the common sense that everyone knew.

But since the task was not completed, I could only answer her question honestly: "When the chestnuts are picked from the tree, they must be washed with salt water, soaked, and dried, and then buried in the sand, so that they will not grow." Bad."

"Oh...so that's the case." Bai Lu understood.

Just now, I squeezed the chestnuts inside through the coarse cloth bag, and found that many of them were still hard and solid, and there was no shrinkage of the pine shells.

You don't need to look to know that it is quite well preserved!
"Come on, I'll make something delicious for you to taste!"

Xiao Wei doesn't even know how to store chestnuts. She doesn't believe that she can make anything delicious.

as predicted.

As soon as Bai Lu arrived in the kitchen, she was stunned.

Because she didn't have maltose, only the white sugar she picked up in Li Shuixian's shop last time.
