Chapter 24 She's Still Angry
The syrup used to make sugar-fried chestnuts is best boiled with the sweetest maltose, and honey is also fine.

White sugar...it's not bad, it's just that the sweetness is not enough, but you can adjust the ratio of water to water.

Bai Lu did as soon as she thought of it, "Student Xiaowei, can you wash the chestnuts for me?"

"can."

No matter what she can make, give it to the elder brother to taste, and it will definitely close after the taste.

Xiao Wei thinks this method is very feasible.

After Bai Lu boiled the syrup, she realized that there was no sand.

The ceramic sand used in later generations has not been produced in the 90s, and the stones are not well selected, so it is inevitable that it will not be clean.

Stir-fried chestnuts with sugar directly will cause the chestnuts in the sugar pot to stick together, and the chestnuts will turn black, burnt, and taste bitter. They are not bad and are no different from boiled ones. There is no soft, sweet, and crisp fried chestnuts. smell.

It would be great if there is sand with a smooth surface, not easy to break, not easy to de-powder, and even in size.

When Xiao Wei heard her request, he immediately said: "There is one next door. The sand used to build the house is the coarse sand brought back from the sand field. The fine sand left by sifting through the sieve to mix the cement slurry, the big sand is generally don't want."

When he came back from school, he saw Xiao Dazhuang sifting sand, and looked at it curiously for a while, Xiao Dazhuang told him.

When Bai Lu heard this, the worry on her face turned into a smile: "Go quickly and get some back for me."

Xiao Wei rolled his eyes, and found that the tall figure in the dark was no longer there, maybe he was busy.

After thinking about it, a flash of inspiration came to my mind, "I haven't finished my homework. I will be detained by the teacher when I go to school later. I have to do my homework. You can get the sand yourself."

After finishing speaking, I put the cleaned chestnuts into the small bamboo basket, drained the water, and hurried back to the room.

As for the flowers of the motherland, of course learning is more important, Bai Lu didn't think there was any problem.

Lift your feet and walk to the next door.

It turned out that the person who was sifting the sand was the one she wanted to turn away when she saw it.

The foundation will not be able to be built until tomorrow. Xiao Dazhuang, who has more or less bruises on his face, Wang Hao and Luo Shiliu are all stacking bricks on the outside, more than a dozen pieces at a time, bypassing the foundation and moving inside. go.

Commonly known as moving bricks.

Beside the pile of red bricks, a rectangular sand sieve net was placed on the ground. A man with a stern face held a shovel in his hand, and with all his strength, he threw sand into the barbed wire net with one shovel after another.

The fine sand and the large gravel separated with a sound.

Sensing her footsteps, the man stopped his work, stood the shovel on the ground, crossed his hands on the handle of the shovel, raised his eyes and looked up with a half-smile.

"What do you want?"

Bai Lu didn't want to talk to him, but his brothers were watching from the sidelines, so it wasn't easy to lose face.

"I want some big sand." She had a standard smile and a cool voice.

Xiao Cheng knew that she was still angry, so he raised his eyebrows helplessly and waved the shovel: "How much do you want?"

The big sand that was screened out was of different sizes, and had to be selected again. Bai Lu didn't know how much he wanted, so he pointed to the small black bucket at his feet that was specially used for cement slurry.

"A bucket."

The cement slurry bucket is only one-third the size of a water bucket, but a bucket filled with large sand weighs at least 20 kilograms. Xiao Cheng glanced at the girl's wicker-thin wrist.

Feeling broken when pinched, "Can you lift it?"

Bai Lu was so angry that she wanted to say that she didn't need to worry about it, but when the words came to her lips, she gritted her teeth and said, "Then it's half a barrel."

It's a big deal for her to go again.

Xiao Cheng finally filled a bucket full of big sand and carried it home for her himself.

This rare and famous scene caused a group of elders moving bricks behind to boo and whistle.

Bai Lu was originally walking behind, but suddenly passed Xiao Cheng, and walked home quickly.

Xiao Cheng glanced back.

The elders restrained themselves immediately and moved bricks at a high speed!

Bai Lu returned to the yard, politely said "thank you" to Xiao Cheng, and then snatched the sand bucket from his hand.

Pour the large sand into a large basin filled with water, wash it carefully, pick out the large, small and damaged ones, put them on the ground aside, and take them out later.

Sand of different sizes will cause the chestnuts to be heated unevenly during the frying process, and it is easy to burn and burn.

Xiao Cheng stopped where he was and watched for a while.

Bai Lu washed the sand seriously, rubbing her white and thin hands over and over again, but just ignored him.

It was as if he didn't know that there was another person beside him.

Xiao Cheng had no choice but to pick up the unwanted sand she picked out, put it back in the bucket, and carry it away.

After a while, she came back with a big bucket of sand, and Bai Lu still politely said "thank you" to him, then continued to wash her sand without even looking at him.

Xiao Cheng was completely at a loss, and washing sand was not a heavy job, so he couldn't help.

I can only go back to the next door and continue to sieve the sand.

Bailu washed the sand, dried it, and practiced the sand. The pot used for sand practice was the one that was smashed by a brick from the sky. The hole was found in the corner with an old iron sheet, as long as you don’t shovel the bottom of the pot , barely usable.

Increase the fire in the stove hole, heat the gravel in the pot, put a spoonful of syrup, pour it in a circle, and stir-fry the gravel repeatedly, so that all the gravel can stick to the syrup.

When the surface of the gravel is covered with a layer of transparent sugar film, you can put the chestnuts to fry.

In this way, the invisible dirt attached to the surface of the chestnut and the layer of fine fluff can be glued away, making the fried chestnut cleaner, oilier and smoother.

During this period, keep stirring to avoid sticking to the pot. Wait for the surface of the chestnut to turn slightly yellow, and then change the medium to high heat to low heat.

Stir-frying over low heat is to fry the pulp inside the chestnut. Wait until the sand and chestnut grains are clear, add half a spoonful of syrup, and continue to stir-fry until the chestnut becomes dry and the skin color is yellowish brown or dark brown. It can be taken out of the pan.

The freshly baked chestnuts are very hot and cannot be grasped directly, so Bai Lu picked one up with chopsticks.

Put it on the table, pinch it with your thumb and forefinger through the tablecloth, and the chestnut will open its shell.

The golden flesh, sweet but not greasy fragrance, makes the index finger move when it smells.

Xiao Wei, who was "passing by" outside, swallowed his saliva in disappointment, and stared straight.

She actually, can really fry chestnuts with sand, and it's so fragrant, it's never smelled like this before.

"Xiaowei, come and have a taste."

Bai Lu had spotted the little guy a long time ago, holding a golden chestnut, smiling and waving at him.

Xiao Wei feels that it is very impolite to reject the fruits of other people's labor.

So he goes in.

All the sand and chestnuts in the pot have been poured out, and they have been separated with an hourglass. The sand is placed in an old broken earthen jar, and the chestnuts are placed in a bamboo dustpan, which is very fragrant.

Xiao Wei didn't want the chestnut peeled in Bai Lu's hand, he took one by himself, peeled it and ate it while it was hot.

Chestnuts fried with sand, the flesh is soft, glutinous and sweet, crispy and fragrant, much more delicious than boiled and roasted chestnuts!
"Is it tasty?"

Bai Lu didn't miss the little guy's micro-expressions. She could even change the fixed wooden face 24 hours a day. Her craftsmanship should be okay.
