When Jiang Zhiluo said these words and looked at Cui Hejin, she looked very trusting.

Cui Hejin's expression changed, and he looked at Jiang Zhiluo without saying anything.

Jiang Zhiluo couldn't see his emotions clearly, so she could only comfort him according to her own thoughts: "Just watch the war and you will know that the current emperor is not a wise king. The traitors in the court are in power, and the people hate him."

"And he killed innocent courtiers indiscriminately."

"There are some problems with being in power. As time goes by, there are always people who are dissatisfied and resist. Don't you see that King Duan is resisting now?"

"I think it won't be long before a wise king will sit in that seat."

"You are an Mingjun, and you will definitely know how to handle people well, so if you want to return to the capital at that time, you can definitely go back."

"As long as you are here, your sisters will have their parents to rely on."

Although Cui Hejin rarely talks on weekdays, she knows that he has a lot of troubles in his heart, not to mention his talent.

As long as he wants, he can return to Beijing.

Of course, it was also because she dreamed about some vague scenes, so she firmly believed in this possibility.

Cui Hejin was shocked. He looked at Jiang Zhiluo with a deep luster in his eyes.

When Jiang Zhiluo was looked at by Cui Hejin like this, she blinked her eyes, touched her face with her hands and said, "Is there anything strange about me like this?"

"I still said something wrong."

Cui Hejin sighed softly, stretched out his hand and hugged Jiang Zhiluo into his arms.

"It's nothing, I just think my wife has a vision and a mind that others don't have."

She doesn't look like a country girl either.

Even if she is a well-educated legitimate daughter of a noble family, and is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she may not be as smart as Zhi Luo.

Jiang Zhiluo said modestly: "I often go to the town to set up stalls. I will know what everyone says."

Cui Hejin touched her hair and said nothing more, but concentrated on helping cut chestnut shells.

Mrs. Cui packed up the dishes and washed them and walked to the yard. When she saw so many chestnuts, her eyes widened in shock.

"It's really chestnuts, there are so many chestnuts."

"This……"

For a moment, Mrs. Cui was so excited that she could not speak.

After a while, Mrs. Cui knelt down happily, picked up the chestnuts, and said, "Zhiluo, you don't know how precious and rare this thing is. Not many local people pay tribute to the emperor every year."

"I didn't expect there were so many."

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mom, there are many more on the mountain. If you want to eat, we can just go to the mountain to pick them up."

"There are a lot of chestnut trees on the mountain. When the chestnuts are produced in autumn, we can continue to pick them, so this thing is not surprising."

When Mrs. Cui heard this, her eyebrows widened with a smile, her eyes narrowed and she said: "This food is delicious and can fill your stomach. It would be nice if there were chestnut trees."

Seemingly thinking of something, Jiang Zhiluo said, "By the way, mother, I found a canyon and a cave deep in the mountains. I thought that if there is a war outside, we will move to the cave."

"Hide in the mountains for a while and come back when there is no fighting outside."

Mrs. Cui said: "Okay, mother, I will listen to you."

Jiang Zhiluo hesitated and said, "I remember that people in the village used to help us a lot. I was thinking, why don't we tell Li Zheng about our move to the mountains?"

In fact, she didn't plan to tell the villagers at first.

But Mrs. Cui had said before that when she and Cui Hejin first came here, Donghe Village accepted them, and the village would help them if they had anything to do.

And if anything happens, Li Zheng will help them.

If I move away later, it won't matter.

But there is no longer a war outside, so I still have to come back and live with the villagers.

If they only care about themselves and return to live in the village, the villagers may not really accept them.

Besides, she really didn't care about the people in the village, and she couldn't bear to look at the old people and children.

She thought it was better to do things with a clear conscience.

Besides, her parents, when they were fleeing from famine, were able to take care of so many people and took them all the way to Xingshan Village to settle down, which shows that her parents would not ignore the people in Xingshan Village.So if you want to move to the mountains, almost the whole village will be mobilized.

Mrs. Cui took Jiang Zhiluo's hand, patted her hand and said, "You are a good child. Whatever you decide, mother will listen to you."

"The people in Donghe Village are very nice. It would be nice to say something to Li Zheng."

"It's okay. Mom, go tell Li Zheng and ask everyone to prepare in advance. If you are willing to go to the mountains and hide together, you can hide together. If you don't want to go, you can turn around and we won't blame us for not telling them."

Jiang Zhiluo nodded, that's it.

"But we haven't reached Beizhou yet, so don't rush to hide. It won't be too late to hide when the war reaches Beizhou."

Jiang Zhiluo thought that she would take advantage of this time to continue doing some business and earn more money.

While the family was talking, the chestnuts were all cut.

Jiang Zhiluo soaked the chestnuts in water to prevent water loss and make them taste softer and waxier.

Then, prepare the firewood and heat the pot to dry.

Mrs. Cui took out the salt and said, "Zhiluo, are these salts enough?"

Jiang Zhiluo looked at it and said, "There's a lot of salt. Mom, you put it there first and I'll take as much as I need."

"Okay, then I'll light the fire."

On the other side, Cui Hejin also took out all the soaked chestnuts and drained them as Jiang Zhiluo said.

But there is still some water.

Jiang Zhiluo wiped it with a clean towel, then put the salt and chestnuts into the pot and stir-fried slowly.

Mrs. Cui watched Jiang Zhiluo making sugar-roasted chestnuts and didn't know what they would taste like, but she thought they would be delicious.

"The emperor used to reward some chestnuts, but we didn't know how to cook them, so we cooked them and ate them."

Jiang Zhiluo said: "This is the best for making sugar-fried chestnuts."

"With a sweet taste."

At first, Jiang Zhiluo stir-fried it very slowly. After seeing that the chestnuts were swollen, she started stir-frying quickly.

Stir fry quickly to let the salt fall off the chestnuts.

When the color of the salt becomes darker, add the sugar.

When adding sugar, sprinkle the sugar evenly into the pan
Add the sugar and stir-fry. You will slowly find that the salt becomes sticky and turns black, and the sugar gradually turns into caramel.

Jiang Zhiluo stir-fries faster and faster, also to prevent the caramel from sticking to the pan.

Now the fragrance comes out.

Mrs. Cui sighed: "It smells very fragrant."

My daughter-in-law’s cooking skills are so good that she now looks forward to cooking and eating delicious food as a family every day.

Even the simplest things can become delicacies in Jiang Zhiluo's hands.

Keep stirring.

Cui Hejin was worried that she would be tired from stir-frying all the time, and there were a lot of chestnuts in the pot.

It takes a lot of strength to stir-fry everything. Cui Hejin said: "Shall I stir-fry it?"

Jiang Zhiluo knew that he felt sorry for her, so she smiled and said, "It's okay, you can't control the rhythm well, I'll just stir-fry."

"When stir-frying, you have to watch the color change. Sometimes you need to stir-fry faster, sometimes you need to stir-fry slower."

After the salt grains were no longer sticky, Jiang Zhiluo said, "Mom, there's no need to light the fire."

"it is good."

Mrs. Cui no longer puts firewood into the stove.

When roasting chestnuts, Mrs. Cui did not use a bellows in order to control the heat.

"Is that all right?"

Mrs. Cui was curious and didn't know what the flavor of Zhiluo's stir-fried chestnuts was.
