Chapter 75
Xiao Cheng's deep eyes were as cold as a cold pond, and his tone was unkind: "If you don't know what's interesting in the future, don't come here."

Wang Cuihua's smile froze.

It's like being splashed from head to toe by a bucket of cold water, from head to heel, as if falling into an ice cave, the whole body is stiff, and the hands holding the handlebars of the bicycle are gradually covered with frost.

Ever since she married Xiao Zhongbi, she knew that Xiao Cheng was the boss of their small group.

He has an indifferent personality, acts ruthlessly, and has cruel methods, but he rarely speaks. He doesn't like to talk to outsiders, and he doesn't even bother to look at the little gossip between women.

Not to mention, like now, he would say words to her that were unprecedented, similar to driving people away.

He didn't leave after speaking, as if he wanted to chase someone away.

Wang Cuihua felt that Xiao Cheng was not driving her away, at least not for the sake of his late brother Xiao Zhongbiao.

It should be that she came too early and disturbed him and Bai... Xiao Wei had breakfast.

"I remembered that porridge was still cooking on the stove at home, and the fire hadn't turned on yet. I'm afraid it's all boiled right now. I have to go back and have a look, and I'll come back to Bai Lu later..."

Wang Cuihua hurriedly explained and left.

Pushing her brand new [-]-bar bicycle, the speed was so fast, it seemed that there was a ghost chasing behind.

Xiao Cheng turned around to close the door, when a small figure with a schoolbag on his back rushed over and squeezed out from the half-closed door, not daring to look up at him, and ran out with his head down, saying hello.

"I'm going to school."

The end sound has drifted farther and farther with the sound of small footsteps.

Just as the door was about to close, footsteps sounded again in the yard, Xiao Cheng raised his eyes slightly.

The girl with long hair tied into a low ball head and wearing a sky blue apron hurried out of the kitchen with a spatula in hand, found a large basket in the corridor, and carried it back.

Not long after, there was the sound of spatulas, sand and chestnuts colliding and frying in the kitchen. The chestnuts and sand were screened by a large colander and fell into different big baskets.

The door was slowly closed, blocking all sight, Xiao Cheng turned and walked out, his eyes downcast thoughtfully.

When Wang Cuihua came to Bailu's house again, it was almost noon, and she came here after lunch.

Knocking on the door, a burst of sweet and burnt aroma came to the nostrils. After walking in, the whole yard was filled with fragrance, as if the whole person was soaked in the pile of fried chestnuts.

Sweet but not greasy, strong burnt aroma.

Wang Cuihua couldn't help swallowing when she smelled it, and couldn't help but want to taste it to satisfy her appetite.

But thinking of what happened in the morning, he held back.

Bai Lu sat down on the old wooden chair next to the big basket, shook her hands lightly, beat her sore right arm with her left hand, and beat her sore left arm with her right hand.

Seeing Wang Cuihua standing in front of the four big baskets full of sugar-fried chestnuts, looking left and right, she was not sure which basket to target for a long time, as if she would suffer a loss if she chose the wrong one.

"You take the basket on the far left. That basket is only [-] catties, and the other three baskets are [-] catties. On the first day you open the stall, you can go home early if they are sold out."

When Wang Cuihua heard this unfair distribution, she immediately refused to obey: "Why can't I get seventy catties?"

"There are three baskets of [-] catties of sugar-fried chestnuts there, and Fifth Aunt can't sell that much. There are also cheap sugar-fried chestnuts from Li Shuixian's house in the town to compete for business. If I leave so much for Fifth Aunt, it's not a waste if she can't sell them all. gone?"

"It's better to give me a basket of [-] catties. Aunt Wu wants two baskets of [-] catties and one basket of [-] catties. I will sell them in Dashi Town next door. People there have never eaten sugar-fried chestnuts. The business must be very good. I must It sold out faster than Aunt Wu."

Today is a good day for the opening of the third sales channel of candied chestnuts, Bai Lu doesn't want to say bad words that will ruin her fortune.

He said lightly: "Aunt Wu has a basket of [-] catties, and you have a basket of [-] catties. The other two baskets of [-] catties belong to Yu Fugui, and Yu Fugui already has a large number of reservations in the city."

Two baskets of 140 catties are not enough.

Fifth Aunt's order was more than that, and after Bai Lu finished eating, she had to continue to pick up grapefruits to refuel.

Otherwise, Fifth Aunt will be out of stock in the afternoon.

During one Ching Ming Festival, Wen Xiuyun and Yu Fugui each saved hundreds of catties of orders. It has to be said that the purchasing power of customers for more than ten years is strong.

Wang Cuihua only felt that Bai Lu was partial to Fifth Aunt and Yu Fugui, so she was not allowed to make a lot of money on the first day.

No matter what, he just carried a basket of seventy catties of fried chestnuts in sugar, and ran out without saying a word.

Usually weak and pitiful, he needs help for everything, and when robbing things, he runs faster than young boys.

Still swearing to let go of the promise——

"Bai Lu, don't worry, I will definitely sell out faster than Aunt Fifth. It's only seventy catties of roasted chestnuts in sugar. I can make all the money back before the sun goes down!"

Ruoluoren was already riding a [-]-bar bicycle with a big basket on the back seat, and flew with wings.

Bai Lu didn't bother to chase after her, so she got up and went to the firewood room, and continued to move chestnuts out to fry gold coins.

Yesterday, when Xiao Cheng went to the countryside to buy chestnuts, she and Xiao Wei emptied and cleaned the firewood shed.

It is used to store the chestnuts brought back by Xiao Cheng, and it will be used as a special storage space for chestnuts in the future.

Xiao Cheng came back with six carts of chestnuts and piled up the firewood shed to the brim. At a glance, it was full of brown hillocks.

Bai Lu squatted on the ground, holding a small face-sized shovel, and poured chestnuts into the bamboo basket one by one.

At this moment, she missed the big guy with amazing arms, the big guy who fried [-] catties of chestnuts in sugar early in the morning, and the big guy who was interrupted by the knock on the door before going out.

Because of the sudden increase in the supply, she took out the spare cauldron left unused by the original owner in the corner of the firewood room, and cleaned it up. The two pans were fried at the same time.

Not only is Xiao Cheng's arm strength amazing, but he can also fry two pots of chestnuts at the same time, and he can also reasonably allocate the most suitable time for frying. From the beginning to the end, he never burnt the pot once.

When the chestnuts came out of the pot, the children next door cried.

Unlike her, the car overturned after frying two pots for the first time.

The sugar-fried... charred chestnuts were so mushy that they couldn't be picked out by throwing them on the wall.

Fortunately, Bai Lu also knows her own level. The first time she didn't fry much in a double pot, the old hen in the backyard also gave her a face, not picky eaters, and helped her get rid of all the charred chestnuts.

Otherwise, she would not be able to forgive herself for the heinous crime of wasting food... Grandparents living in the countryside are still eating chestnuts for three meals.

How many people still can't eat...

"Bai Lu."

The courtyard door was not closed, but only half-hidden, Wen Xiuyun knocked lightly three times, greeted her and entered.

Yu Fugui followed closely behind.

Seeing the three big baskets of roasted chestnuts in the yard still smelling hot and burnt, both of them showed joy on their faces.

Bai Lu only fried two pots of 25 catties this time, and she didn't have the strength to stir fry two pots of [-] catties for the time being, so she had to take her time.

Take out the [-] catties of chestnuts that have just been divided in the dustpan, and pour them into a large basket of [-] catties.

"Fifth Aunt, Uncle Fugui, take these sugar-fried chestnuts to pay for the order first. The three baskets are [-] catties. I will fry more in the afternoon."
