Chapter 51 Long Bridge Town (one more)
Jin Xi doesn't use sugar, but honey, does it taste good after being fried?Ga Po and Auntie couldn't believe it in their hearts.

Although Ga Po and Auntie don't have any expectations for this, they don't object to it either, as long as Jin Xi is willing to make a fuss, let her go.

Jinrou is a greedy little cat. When she heard that her sister was going to cook a kind of candied chestnuts that were more delicious than dried chestnuts, she was so excited that she immediately voted for it.Sun Yubao also had the mentality of giving it a try, and in this way, Jinxi's first profitable business officially started.

Among all the people, Jin Xi knows how to cook chestnuts with sugar, so naturally the important task of the commander falls on her.

The whole family poured out the chestnuts picked during the day, and split the chestnuts picked by Wending together.

There were three small baskets on the ground, and the whole family joined in, even Ga Po.According to Jin Xi's instructions, everyone carefully screened the chestnuts according to their size, sorted them out into top, middle and bottom varieties, and put them in different baskets one by one.

He took a small knife and cut a cross-shaped knife on the shell of each chestnut.

When the sun cleared the next day, the three small baskets were placed in the yard to shine in the sun for most of the day to remove moisture.

Scrape the honey from the two large honeycombs, mix it thoroughly with warm water, and pour it in evenly from the cross knife.

Sun Yuxia cleaned the big pot against the wall in the stove. There was hard firewood in the stove, and the fire was extremely fierce.

Use a loofah to dip a little bit of rapeseed oil, and brush it twice in the pot. When the bottom of the pot is slightly red, pour in the chestnuts filled with honey water, and then it’s time to test Sun Yuxia’s arm strength.

Sun Yuxia was holding a large spatula on the pot, waving her arms like the wind, at the stove mouth, Sun Yubao waited on the fire inside the stove from time to time, and beside the pot, Jin Xi was observing the quality of the chestnuts in the pot, grasping the pot the heat.

Jin Rou was drooling and playing in the kitchen.

Stir-frying chestnuts is actually similar to baking tea leaves, but it doesn’t take that long. When the small mountain village lying in a ravine gradually fell into a peaceful sleep, the stove in Sun Yuxia’s family was still crackling. There was joy in the stove.

In this way, following the same steps, the family fried three batches of chestnuts overnight. Looking at the steaming and fragrant chestnuts placed in the three baskets, the whole family was filled with satisfied smiles.

Jinrou couldn't bear it long ago, Jinxi picked one from the high-quality one and gave it to Jinrou to eat, the little girl looked intoxicated, and the others couldn't help peeling and tasting it.Of course, everyone unanimously took the smallest one.

Jin Xi also picked one and ate it, and it really felt like she had eaten before, because the honey was added, the taste was even better than before, sweet but not greasy, the fragrance of honey remained on the tongue, it felt great!

After drying and frying, the moisture has shrunk a bit. Jin Xi weighed several kinds of chestnuts. The high-quality chestnuts weighed more than fifteen catties, the medium ones weighed about eight catties, and the lowest ones weighed four catties.

Jin Xi took five catties out of the top-quality chestnuts to prepare, and planned to send two catties to Da Gagong, two catties to Wending, and one catty for the family to eat slowly.Jinrou is naturally happy, and everyone else is also very happy. Who doesn't like such delicious food?

In this way, there are still ten catties of high-quality chestnuts, eight catties of medium-grade chestnuts, and four catties of low-quality chestnuts left. Jin Xi decided to go to town with Sun Erhu when he came out of the mountain.

That night, Jin Xi was thinking about how to sell it in order to get more money.All night, the dream was full of the sweetness of chestnuts, just like that, I had a sweet dream all night.

..........................................................................................

In the next two days, Jin Xi followed Sun Yuxia's daily work outside the house, and the two even went to the mountain to pick straw mushrooms. During this period, Jin Xi discussed with Ga Po about going out of the mountain, The mother-in-law disapproved at first, but finally let go.

Jin Xi knew that Ga Po didn't approve of her leaving the mountain because she was worried.The girls from village households in the mountains basically hang around in front of and behind the houses in the village, and go to the town, which can be regarded as going to see the big world.

Jin Xi is only ten years old, how can Po Ga be assured that she will leave the mountains and go to town?Fortunately, with the comfort of Sun Yubao and Sun Yuxia, Mrs. Sun thought of Jinxi's demeanor that she had seen in the past few days, making her seem like a steady and assertive child.Seeing Jin Xi's stern eyes again, Mrs. Sun finally compromised and agreed to let Jin Xi go out with Sun Erhu to sell chestnuts.

This family cannot do without Sun Yuxia, and Sun Yuxia is also used to wandering in the mountains. Naturally, the burden of accompanying Jinxi to go out to do business falls on Uncle Sun Yubao. Sun Yubao is full of joy and promises to take good care of Jinxi.

Ever since he went out to Jinji Mountain Village three years ago and was scolded by Mrs. Tan, he was eleven or twelve years old and came back crying.Since then, Mrs. Sun did not go to the mountains to visit her natal family, and Mrs. Sun was worried. She wanted Sun Yubao to visit her family many times. Whatever the case may be, the stubborn Sun Yubao was determined not to go to the Liang family in Jinjishan Village.

Even when Mrs. Sun fell ill a few days ago, Sun Yubao entrusted Sun Erhu to carry the letter.

In this way, in a blink of an eye, it was the day that Sun Erhu agreed to go out of the mountain. Just after dawn, Sun Erhu drove over with an ox cart. In the cart were some wild goods he had hunted in the past few days, including rabbits, weasels, and a bunch of wild animals. Only a small roe deer.

Jinxi's stuff here was pretty much the same overnight, except for the sugar-fried chestnuts, there were also some dry goods, such as dried bamboo shoots, dried straw mushrooms, and a few catties of fresh straw mushrooms that were picked yesterday with soil on them.

In addition, there are also a few pairs of children's tiger-toed shoes that Sun Yuxia took in during her busy schedule.

It was really the first time for Jinxi to see such cute tiger-toed shoes, and it was also the first time for her to know that her spunky and capable little aunt was actually good at embroidery. Whether it's the past life or the present life, I can't even arouse the slightest interest.

It's rare to go back to the mountain, so naturally we have to prepare more things to sell to make the trip worthwhile.Sun Erhu helped Sun Yubao tie all these things to the car. Over there, Mrs. Sun was still holding Jinxi's hand, ordering this and that very worriedly.

Although Jinxi's clothes are neat enough, Sun Yuxia still couldn't help tidying her front and back.

The three of them got into the bullock cart, and Sun Erhu sat in the front with a dignified appearance, concentrating on driving, holding the rein with one hand, which passed through the nose of the bull, and holding the whip in the other hand, shouting and driving on the road.

In the back, Sun Yuxia helped Mrs. Sun and followed her to the gate of the yard. Jinrou excitedly talked with Jinxi for most of the night last night. Bring back snacks, so I'm sleeping soundly right now.

Although Mrs. Sun had nagged Jinxi many times last night, she couldn't help telling her to tell you to walk slowly, don't be playful on the road, sell if you can, let it go if you can't, and don't make mistakes with others. Dispute and so on...

Last time, Liang Yuzhong and his family of four hitched a car to Sunjiagou before dawn, but old Liangtou and Mrs. Tan slept peacefully in the house.

No matter how many times Ga Po gave her instructions, Jin Xi listened with a smile on her face, without showing any sign of impatience.She knows very well that only those who really care about themselves can nagging like this uncontrollably.

Jin Xi likes to listen to Ga Po's nagging, this kind of nagging makes her feel very happy.

Sitting on the receding bullock cart, Jin Xi waved to Granny and Auntie at the entrance of the yard behind.

The way out of the mountain is the one that Jin Xi and the others used to enter the mountain last time.Facts have proved that Sun Erhu is really good at driving, not worse than Liang Yuzhong at all.

Although Jin Rou had been entangled with her before going to bed very late last night, Jin Xi did not feel sleepy at all, and the ox cart was traveling smoothly on the mountain road. The three of them were talking and laughing all the way, and they couldn't restrain themselves about the upcoming business. Excited, mixed with a little... apprehension.

After leaving the mountain, the terrain gradually opened up and flattened, and what appeared in front of us was a large criss-cross field.The cold dew has just passed, and the farmers have already planted the rapeseed. At this time, the field does not look green, and it is full of bleakness, but this does not affect the mood of the three people in the ox cart.

As far as the eyes can see, there is a well-trimmed and flat dirt road, which is wider than other roads. In the criss-crossing fields, it is like an arrow, splitting everything and going straight to the front.

Jin Xi knew that the ox cart would soon be on the official road.

"Xi'er, if you go to the town, your parents don't know about it, why don't you go and say hello to them?" Sun Yubao looked at the big village with blue tiles and white walls not far from the left side of the official road, and asked Jin Xi.

Jin Xi actually thought about this question when she came here.

"I'm afraid my parents are very busy at the moment, the two uncles are with me, they don't have anything to worry about, this time we won't go there!" Jin Xi said without thinking, and glanced at the In Jinjishan Village nearby, I thought to myself, one by one, if I go back to Lao Liang's family, I am afraid that everything will be withheld.After finally leaving Lao Liang's house for a while, why don't you take this opportunity to do something well and go back?Looking for scolding?

"Sure, then I won't go back when I lie down." Sun Yubao could also see what Jin Xi was thinking, and Sun Yubao really didn't like her sister's in-laws. Since Jin Xi couldn't say anything, it was naturally the best .

As for Sun Erhu, his task was to concentrate on driving the car, so naturally he had no objection to this.

In this way, the ox cart got on the official road, Sun Erhu waved his whip, and the strong ox started to move forward. Within half an hour, the three of them arrived at Changqiao Town.

Sun Erhu was familiar with driving, and drove the ox cart outside a shop in Zhenkou, and entered the shop alone.Here, while unloading the cart, Sun Yubao said to the somewhat confused Jin Xi: "We won't be able to go back for a while, the cart has to find a place to stop, and the cattle have to drink water and graze .This shop is opened at this intersection, and it is dedicated to this business."

Oh, it turned out to be like this, the last time Liang Yuzhong came to the town to sell pheasants, he came on foot, Jin Xi didn't pay attention to this.This time, after hearing what Sun Yubao said, Jin Xi looked around and found that there were really many carts pulled by livestock, including ox carts, mule carts, and horse carts, at the door of the shop.Those resting animals are also being taken care of, Jin Xi is relieved.
