Chapter 75 The boss chases people away

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

Wang Cuihua’s smile froze.

It was like being splashed with a bucket of cold water from head to toe, and it was as cold as head to heel. It was like falling into an ice cave. My whole body was stiff. The hands holding the handlebars of the bicycle were gradually covered with frost.

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

He has a cold personality, is ruthless in his actions, and cruel in his methods, but rarely talks. He doesn't like to talk to outsiders, and he doesn't even bother to take a look at the little disputes between women.

Not to mention, he would say words to her like he had never done before, which was similar to driving someone away.

 After saying that, he still didn’t leave, as if he was trying to drive someone away.

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

 She probably came too early and disturbed him and Bai...Xiao Wei from having breakfast.

“I remembered that the porridge was still being cooked on the stove at home. The fire was not burning yet. I’m afraid it’s all boiled by now. I have to go back and have a look. I’ll come back to Bai Lu later…”

Wang Cuihua hurriedly explained and left.

 Pushing her brand-new 28-inch large-bar bicycle, she was so fast that it seemed like there was a ghost chasing her behind.

Xiao Cheng turned around to close the door when a small figure carrying a schoolbag hurried over and squeezed out through the crack of the half-closed door. He didn't dare to raise his head to look at him. He lowered his head and ran out while saying hello.

"I'm going to school."

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

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

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

Not long after, the sound of stir-frying with spatulas, sand and chestnuts came from the kitchen. The sound of chestnuts and sand being sieved by a large colander and falling into different large baskets.

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

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

  Knocking on the door, a burst of caramel-sweet fragrance hit your nostrils. After walking in, the whole yard was filled with the fragrance, as if you were soaked in a pile of candied roasted chestnuts.

Sweet but not greasy, with a strong burnt aroma.

Wang Cuihua couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she smelled it. She couldn't help but want to taste it to satisfy her appetite.

 But remembering what happened in the morning, I held it back.

 Bai Lu sat down on the old wooden chair next to the big basket, and shook his hands lightly. His left hand beat his right arm, which was so tired, and his right hand beat his left arm, which was so tired.

Seeing Wang Cuihua standing in front of four large baskets filled with sugar-roasted chestnuts, she looked left and right. For a long time, she was not sure which basket to start with, as if she would suffer a loss if she chose the wrong one.

“Take the basket on the far left. That basket is only fifty kilograms, and the other three baskets are all seventy kilograms. On your first day at the stall, if you sell out early, you can go home early.”

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

"There are three baskets of 70 kilograms of sugar-roasted chestnuts there, and Fifth Aunt can't sell that many. There are also cheap sugar-roasted chestnuts from Li Shuixian's family in the town to compete for business. If I leave so many for Fifth Aunt, if she can't sell them all, it won't be wasted. "

"Why don't you give me a basket of seventy kilograms? My fifth aunt wants two baskets of seventy kilograms and one basket of fifty kilograms. I will go to Dashi Town next door to sell them. People there have never eaten sugar-roasted chestnuts. The business must be very good. I will definitely Sold out faster than Fifth Aunt.”

Today is a good day to open the third sales channel for roasted chestnuts with sugar. Bai Lu doesn’t want to say anything unlucky that will ruin her fortune.

He said calmly: "Aunt Wu's basket weighs seventy pounds, and your basket weighs fifty pounds. The other two baskets of seventy pounds belong to Yu Fugui, who already has a large number of reservations in the city."

Two baskets of one hundred and forty kilograms are not enough. Fifth Aunt's order quantity was more than that. After Bai Lu finished eating, she had to continue picking up the grapefruit and drying it.

 Otherwise, Aunt Wu will run out of stock in the afternoon.

During the Qingming Festival, Wen Xiuyun and Yu Fugui each saved hundreds of kilograms of orders. It must be said that the purchasing power of the customer base for more than ten years is very strong.

Wang Cuihua only felt that Bai Lu favored the fifth aunt and favored Yu Fugui, so she would not let her make a lot of money on the first day.

Ignoring it, I just carried a 70-pound basket of roasted chestnuts and ran out without saying a word.

 He is usually weak and pitiful, and needs help with everything. When grabbing things, he can run faster than a young man.

Still vowing to let go of the promise—

“Bai Lu, don’t worry, I will sell out faster than my fifth aunt. It’s only 70 kilograms of sugar-roasted chestnuts. I can make all the money back before the sun goes down!”

By the time the words were heard, the man was already riding a large 28-inch bicycle with a large basket on the back seat, and was flying with his wings.

Bai Lu was too lazy to chase, so she got up and went to the woodshed, where she continued to bring chestnuts out to speculate in gold coins.

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

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

Xiao Cheng came back with six carts of chestnuts and filled the woodshed to the brim. As far as the eye could see, they were all covered with brown hills.

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

At this moment, she misses very much the boss with amazing arm strength. He roasted 70 kilograms of sugar-roasted chestnuts for her early in the morning and only went out when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

 Because the supply quantity increased sharply, she took out the unused spare large pot left by the original owner in the corner of the woodshed, cleaned it, and started frying in both pots at the same time.

Not only did Xiao Cheng have amazing arm strength, he was able to fry two pots of chestnuts at the same time, and he was also able to reasonably allocate the most suitable stir-frying time. From beginning to end, the pot was never burned once.

 The chestnuts made the kids next door cry with greed when they came out of the pot.

 Unlike her, she flipped over after two pots of fire for the first time.

The sugar-fried...charred chestnuts were so mushy that they couldn't be picked off even if they were thrown against the wall.

 Fortunately, Bai Lu also knew her own level, so she didn’t fry much in the double-boiler for the first time. The old hen in the backyard also appreciated it and was not picky about eating, and helped her to eat all the charred chestnuts.

 Otherwise, she would not be able to forgive herself for the heinous crime of wasting food...Grandpas and grandmothers living in the countryside still eat chestnuts for three meals.

How many people still don’t have enough to eat…

 “White dew.”

The courtyard door was not closed, just ajar. Wen Xiuyun knocked three times, said hello and entered.

Yu Fugui followed closely behind.

 Seeing the three large baskets of sugar-roasted chestnuts still smelling hot and burnt in the yard, both of them looked happy.

Bai Lu only fried two pots of ten kilograms this time. She didn't have the energy to stir-fry two pots of twenty-five kilograms for the time being, so she had to slow down.

 Take the twenty kilograms of chestnuts that have just been divided into the dustpan, move them out, and pour them into the fifty kilograms large basket.

“Fifth Aunt, Uncle Fugui, please take these candied roasted chestnuts to pay for the order first. Three baskets weigh seventy kilograms each. I’ll fry more in the afternoon.”
