Chapter 24 Gentleness
"No, no, I still have something to do at home, so I'm in a hurry to go back."

Although Liu Tingan really wanted to taste something so delicious, he still held back.

He can't cause brother Cui trouble for this little food.

With that said, he quickly walked towards the yard.

Jiang Zhiluo didn't say much.

There happened to be two boxes of leeks that were cooked, Jiang Zhiluo wrapped them in oiled paper, handed them to Cui Hejin and said, "I just made them, give them to your friend."

After handing it to Cui Hejin, Jiang Zhiluo turned around and continued to stare at the leek box in the pot, turning it over from time to time so as not to let the leek box get burnt.

Cui Hejin walked towards the yard, and when he came to the door, he handed two leek boxes wrapped in oil paper to Liu Ting'an and said, "Take it!"

"Brother Cui, I..." Liu Tingan was very embarrassed.

Cui Hejin remained calm and indifferent as always, and said, "If you treat me as a friend, take me."

Liu Ting'an knew that Brother Cui looked cold-tempered, but he was actually a very nice person.

"Then...then I won't be polite."

"Ah."

Liu Tingan couldn't resist taking a bite, although it was a little hot, but his lips and teeth were fragrant, "Brother Cui, I didn't expect Niangzi's cooking to be so delicious."

Cui Hejin's expression moved, Qingrun said: "Maybe!"

Liu Ting'an knew that Cui Hejin was not willing to talk too much, and he didn't mind, he always had a smile on his face when he ate delicious food.

When Liu Tingan left, he did not forget to remind Cui Hejin that he was going to school tomorrow.

Cui Hejin nodded.

……

After Jiang Zhiluo fried all the leek boxes, the sky was getting dark, and the sugar was finally boiled out.

After boiling, she took it out and put it away. After cooling, she can cut into pieces of brown sugar.

Mrs. Cui looked at the color, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and made sure she read it correctly, "Zhiluo, it's really boiled, is this brown sugar?"

Jiang Zhiluo knew that Mother couldn't believe it, so she picked up a small piece with chopsticks and handed it to Mrs. Cui, "Mother, you will know if it's true after you taste it."

Mrs. Cui carefully put it into her mouth and tasted it, her eyes lit up instantly, and her excited eyes widened, "Zhiluo, it's really sweet, very sweet, just like the brown sugar."

Mrs. Cui immediately became excited when she thought that brown sugar was so expensive that it was not easy to buy.

The hand holding the chopsticks trembled a little, a little unsteady.

She really felt like a dream.

The daughter-in-law is so amazing that she can even make brown sugar.

So, if the daughter-in-law said she could make candles, she would definitely be able to.

It will be a little unclear, Jiang Zhiluo went to the yard to look at the small wooden barrels, and found that the grease candles had cooled down.

She split the outer wooden barrel shell with a knife.

This is a candle.

Jiang Zhiluo happily took it into the house and lit one with a flint.

"Mother, look, this is a turpentine candle."

Mrs. Cui kept nodding happily, "Yes, it's bright, it's really bright, it's a candle."

Jiang Zhiluo also took out the other eight candles, took out one and handed it to Mrs. Cui and said, "Mother, this one is for you, you can use it at night, this one is for us to use in the house, these six candles will be put away first."

Mrs. Cui looked at the candle in front of her, feeling unreal.

She holds it in both hands.

The color of this candle is a little waxy black, completely different from the red candle, but it can burn and illuminate the same, without affecting it at all.

Just so many candles, if you want to buy it, it will cost at least several hundred pennies.

So Mrs. Cui held it carefully, for fear of falling.

"Mom, it's okay, I'll do it after I use it."

This candle is not pretty, but it works just as well if it lights up.

In ancient times, many villages were built along the mountains.

The advantage of being built next to the mountain is that it is convenient to chop and use firewood, and it is also convenient to pick and use anything on the mountain.

Mrs. Cui said happily: "Okay, okay, it's thanks to you."

"Mother, it's not hard, it's easy to do."

She just got so much turpentine halfway up the mountain, and if she went further up the mountain, she might find more.

And there is a lot of pine resin halfway up the mountain, and she only got a part of it.

The house is filled with a strong fragrance.

During the meal, Cui Hejin washed her hands and sat down, she was very quiet from beginning to end.

Looking at his peaceful and beautiful expression, Jiang Zhiluo felt that under the light of the turpentine candle, his cold brows and eyes seemed to be stained with a gentle color, and the shadows of the lights seemed to float in his picturesque pupils like twinkling stars. .

Looking at his appearance at this moment, Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but think that if he was gentle, he should be very gentle, and he could warm people's hearts.

Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed, but she didn't speak.

When eating, Mrs. Cui ate a chive box and was full of praise.

"Zhiluo, these leeks are indeed a good thing. They are delicious when fried, and they are also delicious when wrapped in this leek box."

Mrs. Cui thought to herself, this is the same as steamed buns, with stuffing inside, but steamed buns are made of leavened dough. This leek box can be wrapped without dough, which is simpler and more delicious.

Since she was exiled, she really hasn't eaten such delicious food.

Mrs. Cui was a little moved just by eating.

This leek box is indeed delicious.

Cui Hejin also ate quietly. Although she didn't say anything, Jiang Zhiluo saw that his appetite was bigger than usual, so she knew that he liked to eat these.

After dinner, Mrs. Cui packed up her things, and Jiang Zhiluo took out the wheat soaked yesterday, then found a clean grate, spread a layer of clean cotton cloth on it, and spread the wheat on it.

In this way, maltose can be made after three or four days.

But tomorrow morning, you can go to the town to sell brown sugar and try it.

She plans to sell them piece by piece. If they are sold by the catty, ordinary people cannot afford them.

Most people just buy one or two pieces.

Jiang Zhiluo planned to sell it piece by piece, so that ordinary people might be willing to buy a piece for a penny or two.

She intends to sell it for two pennies a piece.

The brown sugar boiled with beets in the afternoon, cut up, can have more than three or forty pieces.

Can earn more than 70 Wen.

This does not count the cost of beets, because beets are a vegetable that we have at home.

Later, if we use beets to make more brown sugar, we have to collect it from the village.

After deducting the cost of beets, you can get more than 60 Wen.

The main reason is that the price of beets is cheap, almost a penny a catty.

If it is collected in the village, the price may be cheaper.

If it can be sold every day, it can earn at least one penny a month, and this is not counting the business of maltose or food later on.

If it is good to do business, then naturally there is no need to save so much on food and use.

Now that you have capital in hand, you can start some other business later, and if you earn more, you can buy a foundation and build a tile house.

Now the Cui family’s house is Lizheng’s house, and it’s still a mud house. The place is too small and there is no courtyard wall.

She wants to build a better house, according to the style she designed, so that the family can live comfortably, and it will be much more convenient to wash and take a bath at night.

Cui Hejin likes to read and study, if he has a separate study, he should be happier.
