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

Chapter 25 She Wants to Eat Maltose
Speaking of which, Bai Lu knew how to make sugar-fried chestnuts, and she learned it from her grandfather in later generations.

The era when her grandparents met was earlier than the 90s where Bailu is now. Bailu's grandma came from a scholarly family, and she and her grandfather were classmates.

Grandma likes to eat sugar-fried chestnuts very much. At that time, the streets were full of itinerant vendors. Small vendors selling sugar-fried chestnuts pushed their carts along the street to sell them, and they were not fixed in one place.

Sometimes I want to eat but can't buy it. In order to please my grandma, my grandfather went to learn how to make sugar-fried chestnuts from the vendor.

After learning it, I made it for my grandma every now and then. In that war-torn era, my grandma was captured by the grandpa who had nothing but fried chestnuts in sugar.

Later, they joined hands for the rest of their lives to share weal and woe.

No matter how the years change, the ink hair turns gray, and the wrinkles climb up the corners of the eyes, grandpa still remembers that grandma likes to eat candied chestnuts, and he will cook them for grandma in his spare time.

Almost every time Bai Lu went to her grandparents' house, she could smell the aroma of roasted chestnuts in sugar.

Xiao Wei originally wanted to put on a small face and say it was okay, but under the reminder of "you can't eat it if you don't say it's delicious" in Bai Lu's eyes, he was reluctant, so he whispered "delicious."

Bai Lu's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and his face changed into a smiling face in seconds: "Actually, maltose is more delicious, but there is no maltose for sale on the street, and the old man who sells maltose has not been here for a long time. It's a pity... By the way, your chestnuts in the sand , are they all picked from the tree in the vegetable garden?"

Xiao Wei nodded: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, chestnuts will fall and fall all over the ground."

The eldest brother doesn't like to eat boiled, and he doesn't like to eat raw, so he has to store it in the sand, wait for the old hen in the backyard to lay a nest of eggs, hatch the chicks, and then raise the chicks to make chestnut stewed chicken up.

Big Brother might like it.

But Bai Lu was pregnant, and the eggs had to be given to her, so she couldn't hatch chicks.

But doing so...is delicious too.

Xiao Wei went back to the main house and tore off a piece of yesterday's calendar, rolled it into a funnel shape, ran to the kitchen to pack some sugar-fried chestnuts, and said goodbye to Bai Lu very politely for the first time.

"I'm going to school."

Bai Lu was relieved: "Go, slow down on the way, is this enough? Why don't you take a few more, and you can eat on the way when you come back from school and are hungry."

"No, that's enough."

Xiao Wei picked up his schoolbag and went out.

Because it was an experiment, Bai Lu didn't do too much. The big round dustpan was only covered with a layer of golden chestnuts. Although the fragrance was overflowing and filled the kitchen, it was actually only a little more than a catty.

But it was more than one catty, and a single spark had been ignited, and the taste was almost the same as that of 20 yuan per catty on the street in later generations.

The house belongs to Xiao Cheng, and the chestnuts belong to Xiao Weicun. If you want to make something with chestnuts, you have to wait for the little guy to come back from school and discuss carefully at night before making a decision.

—

Xiao Cheng was shoveling the sand when a small figure suddenly appeared beside the sand pile and raised his small head to look up at him.

Carrying a small schoolbag, the small body is straight, the black and bright eyes are full of tension, the small face is tense, and he stretches out his hand towards him. There is a paper funnel in the small palm, which continuously emits bursts of tempting and greasy burnt sweetness. fragrance.

"She made it for you."

Knowing that he doesn't like sweets, Xiao Wei spoke up before he refused, speaking frankly.

Hearing that Bai Lu made it specially for him, Xiao Cheng's eyes paused, and the paper funnel landed on his hand.

Xiao Wei was so nervous that his little hands trembled.

Trying to stabilize, said: "She wants to eat maltose."

Finally know the request.

Xiao Cheng pursed his lower lip, a faint smile appeared in his deep eyes, and raised his hand to take the paper funnel and chestnuts.

After completing the task, Xiao Wei turned around and ran away.

Luo Shiliu and others came over: "Brother Cheng, what did my sister-in-law make for you? Why is it so fragrant, we have smelled it from afar, and it looks delicious!"

"It looks like chestnuts, boiled chestnuts, roasted chestnuts, and stewed chestnut chicken. I picked them off and ate them raw a lot when I was a child. This kind of chestnut looks golden and shiny, and smells burnt. I have never seen it before. "

The town's economic level is backward, and there are not many wealthy families who can eat meat every now and then. The chestnut stewed chicken every Chinese New Year is enough to make everyone remember it.

Every time I think of it, my mouth waters three thousand feet.

Amidst the envious voices and gazes of a group of wolves like tigers, a salty pig's hand stretched out to the chestnut. Xiao Cheng, who was so envious and arrogant, caught a glimpse of it, raising his hand was a critical blow.

Luo Shiliu shouted "Aww" and withdrew his hand.

In his hand, he had managed to take away a chestnut, and while scalding his mouth to peel the shell, he gobbled it up.

Wang Hao and Xiao Dazhuang were jealous and remorseful, hating their slow response and regretting that their hands were not fast enough.

Ask him eagerly if it tastes good and what it tastes like.

Under Xiao Cheng's gloomy and cold eyes, Luo Shiliu said loudly sixteen times "delicious!"

It's actually true, and it tastes delicious!

Xiao Dazhuang looked at him licking his lips with insatiable desire, and immediately stared at Xiao Cheng, his pleading was obvious.

Luo Shiliu was the first to hang out with Xiao Cheng. He had many friendships with street revolutionaries.

He dared to take something from Xiao Cheng's hand, but they didn't dare. They didn't see Luo Shiliu's pig's trotter that was hit by the blow, it was all red, and it probably hurt enough.

However, it is worth changing to a fragrant chestnut.

Xiao Cheng was in a good mood today, showing mercy with a cold face, and rewarded each of them with a chestnut.

Then lose yourself in a sound of envy.

"Sister-in-law is so kind. She has developed a new way of eating and asked Xiaowei to bring it to Brother Cheng. Brother Cheng is so lucky!"

"This chestnut is so delicious, I will marry a daughter-in-law as powerful as my sister-in-law in the future!"

"Come on! You don't even have a girlfriend, and you still want to marry a virtuous and gentle wife like your sister-in-law. Do you have the skills of Brother Cheng? You are daydreaming in broad daylight!"

"Follow Brother Cheng, there will always be some in the future..."

In the evening, Bai Lu cooked dinner, Xiao Cheng hadn't come back yet, Xiao Wei sat at the dinner table with her and waited.

In the past few days, I have been returning home from work at this time. Now it is dark and no one is seen.

Bai Lu was worried that Xiao Wei was hungry, and asked him to eat first, but the little guy shook his head and refused, and insisted on waiting for Xiao Cheng together, even letting him eat some chestnuts to cushion his stomach.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before the sound of footsteps came from the open courtyard door, and the stalwart figure of the man stepped back.

As before, the first thing he did when he came back was to go to the well and press the water to wash his hands.

The mud on the shoes was also washed, the clothes were fine, the shirts and trousers were clean, except for a small piece of mud on the bottom of the trousers, which he picked off.

After getting along during this time, Bai Lu knows that Xiao Cheng is a very clean person, even if he goes to work on the construction site, his clothes are always clean and tidy, and he is meticulous.

On the day the foundation was laid, Wang Hao's clothes were all covered with large and small grout, and his was the least.

Replaced it as soon as I got home.

Then... uh... I accidentally saw her...
