The space doctor girl became the favorite of exiled ministers

Chapter 14 Confidentiality
Mrs. Cui held Jiang Zhiluo's hand and said, "I want to come to the door to have a look, but I don't know if you can come back for dinner at noon."

Seeing Mrs. Cui's look of missing her, Jiang Zhiluo felt warm in her heart.

Jiang Zhiluo smiled lightly and said, "Mother, let's go into the room and talk."

"Okay, okay, let's talk in the room and have lunch first. The lunch is ready, He Jin and I will wait for you to come back and eat together."

Jiang Zhiluo was pulled into the house by Mrs. Cui, and she saw Cui Hejin inside.

He still looked noble and dignified. When he saw them entering the house, he opened the lid of the pot and took out the food inside.

Lunch is cabbage and radish pancakes.

It is very simple, and the taste is very ordinary. It seems that there is not too much salt, the taste is very light, and almost all of them are soaked cabbage.

But Jiang Zhiluo knew that this was considered a relatively good meal at home.

Now it is enough to be able to eat enough, nothing else can be taken into account so much.

She found that when eating, both Mrs. Cui and Cui Hejin seemed to have the habit of eating and sleeping without talking. If she didn't talk, they wouldn't talk either.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mother, I went to the town to have a look. The caramel business is good, so I bought some glutinous rice and plan to sell it as malt candy."

Madam Cui paused with her chopsticks, looked at Jiang Zhiluo in shock and said, "Zhiluo, you...you know how to make maltose?"

Mrs. Cui naturally also knew that the candy in the town was more popular and many people bought it.

Not to mention children eating, even if there is a happy event in the family, they will buy candy.

But caramel is very expensive, so a small piece costs a penny.

People in the village are willing to buy some during the Chinese New Year.

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Well, mother, I can make maltose, does our family have wheat?"

Mrs. Cui said in a daze, "Wheat has it."

At this moment, Mrs. Cui looked at Jiang Zhiluo and felt that she might be hallucinating.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Well, it's good to have wheat. After four or five days, you can make maltose."

Although Mrs. Cui couldn't believe it, seeing Jiang Zhiluo's confident and calm expression, she felt convincing.

Mrs. Cui's hands trembled slightly, and she felt a little excited when she thought that her family could make maltose and sell it to make money.

And if you can make maltose at home, you don't have to spend money on sugar during the Chinese New Year.

Cui Hejin took a deep look at Jiang Zhiluo, his expression changed, but he didn't say anything.

After lunch, after tidying up, Mrs. Cui hurriedly took out the wheat.

Jiang Zhiluo prepared a pot and put the wheat in it.

"Mother, soak for a day first."

"it is good."

Jiang Zhiluo asked again: "Mom, do we still have beets?"

Mrs. Cui said: "Also, there is a sack in the cellar."

Rural households generally dig cellars under the kang holes. The cellars are not big, but they are two meters deep, which is convenient for storing things.

Jiang Zhiluo's eyes lit up, "Mom, I want to make something with these beets."

Looking at Jiang Zhiluo's expression, Mrs. Cui knew that she must be useful.

Mrs. Cui naturally supported her, "Okay, mother, go to the cellar and get it out."

Just when Mrs. Cui was about to go into the cellar of the kang cave, Cui Hejin said softly, "Mother, let me come."

Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Hejin's weak appearance, and said involuntarily, "Can you do it, or I'll go down, I have strength."

Cui Hejin was walking forward, but she paused, then turned to look at Jiang Zhiluo, slightly raised the end of her long and narrow eyes, and gave her a meaningful look.

This glance, with a thrilling sense of brilliance, made Jiang Zhiluo skip a beat for some reason.

Cui Hejin didn't say anything, but went down the cellar easily, there are steps inside for easy access.

Soon, he took out the sack of beets.

Seeing these beets, Jiang Zhiluo had a bright smile on her face.

Because she seemed to see brown sugar and money.

Jiang Zhiluo began to wash the beets, and then peeled them.

Although Mrs. Cui didn't know what Jiang Zhiluo was going to do, she took a bench and sat in the yard to help peel the skin.

Mrs. Cui still couldn't help asking: "Zhiluo, do you want to eat this after peeling it?"

Mrs. Cui doesn't like beets very much.

But there are not many vegetables in winter, that is, things like cabbage, radish and beets, so they also planted some in that acre of land, and ate some, that's all.

Jiang Zhiluo said softly, "Mother, I plan to sell brown sugar."

Mrs. Cui was even more shocked this time, her eyes widened and she forgot to react.

Red...brown sugar?
Did she hear it right?
Mrs. Cui also knew that her yard was a fenced yard, not soundproof.

She pursed her lips, leaned against Jiang Zhiluo with a stool, and whispered, "Zhiluo, can you really make brown sugar?"

"Brown sugar is not easy to buy, and the price is still expensive, but brown sugar, even if it is expensive, some women in the village drink some during confinement. It is good for health, and some people also drink brown sugar to drive away the cold."

Just thinking about it, you know that there are many people buying it.

"I also prepared two packs of brown sugar for you, thinking that when you return home tomorrow, I will bring them to your parents."

Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed, the custom here is to return home in three days.

I really have to go back to my mother's house tomorrow.

Thinking of her parents, younger siblings, and how kind they were to her, Jiang Zhiluo felt warm in her heart.

"Mom, you can really make brown sugar."

"In the future, I don't need to buy brown sugar. I can make it myself. In the south, sugarcane is used to make brown sugar. We don't have sugarcane here, but we can use sugar beets to make it."

"But mother, this matter must be kept secret."

"If it boils, we'll buy some beets in the village."

Mrs. Cui whispered: "Don't worry, I won't say anything."

Naturally, this kind of secret method that can make money cannot be said.

These days, whoever has a secret method or recipe, they are all kept secret.

Just thinking about it made her excited.

Even though their voices were very low, Cui Hejin, who was reading silently in the room, still heard them.

Mrs. Cui said: "We'll see what to do later."

Jiang Zhiluo said: "After peeling these, cut them into pieces, and after cutting them into fine pieces, steam them."

When Cui Hejin heard this, she put down the pen in her hand, got up and went out with a hatchet.

His footsteps were light, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui were so absorbed in their work that they didn't notice.

In the evening, when Cui Hejin came back with two bundles of firewood, Mrs. Cui and Jiang Zhiluo had already peeled all the beets and cut them into small pieces.

When Mrs. Cui was about to cook, she found that there was not enough firewood.

When I was in a hurry, I found that Cui Hejin had chopped the firewood back.

Mrs. Cui said softly to Jiang Zhiluo: "Zhiluo, although He Jin is cold-tempered, he is actually very good at loving people. After a long time, you will know that he is fine."

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law respecting each other like a guest and treating her indifferently, she was a little anxious.

I can only help describe it.

Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Hejin's figure, her expression was slightly dazed, and she couldn't help but think of him in that ancient life.
