Chapter 15: Sugar-fried chestnuts

Seeing that the lively crowd gradually dispersed, I am afraid that after today's incident, the two families will not interact at all, but this is also a good thing for Shen Qingqing, and I don't know how much trouble and rumors will be lost in the future.

It's a blessing in disguise.

Shen Qingqing was not in the mood to wash the dirty clothes, so she simply took the sugar out of the back basket, Xiaodouding's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she stretched out her hand and just wanted to grab it, but she stopped with a smile: "Haohao, how about my mother make you a rare thing today?" ”

"Rare stuff?" The milk sound of the small bean is crisp. "Okay."

Shen Qingqing has seen others make sugar fried chestnuts before, it is not too difficult, first soak the remaining chestnuts in clean water for half an hour, and then use a knife to cut a small hole on the top of the chestnuts to make the sweetness better, there is no sand for fried chestnuts in the house, Shen Qingqing simply does not use it, put a little water in the pot, put the white sugar and chestnuts in it together, and keep stir-frying to prevent the white sugar from turning into syrup.

Xiao Douding had never seen such a thing, and was walking around curiously beside him, and in less than half an hour, the sugar-fried chestnuts were ready.

Just smelling the smell is very sweet.

Xiao Douding peeled one off and put it in his mouth, and nodded again and again: "Mother, it's delicious, Haohao has never eaten anything so delicious." ”

Shen Qingqing sat on the chair and watched Xiao Douding eat all over his mouth, not to mention how happy he was in his heart.

But Aunt Lin didn't think like this, today Shen Qingqing slapped her in the face in front of the whole village, and she couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.

When she returned home, she saw that the fur of the hare was being picked up in the forest, and when Aunt Lin saw the hare, she thought of the matter of helping Shen Qingqing in the forest last time, and couldn't help but sprinkle all the fire on the body of the forest.

"You said that you are in your thirties, and you can't ask for a daughter-in-law, my Lin family doesn't know which family set the fire in the previous life, and you want to toss me like this in this life." Aunt Lin said and sat down on the bench, her little feet crossed to her legs.

Lin Zhong knew what happened today, and he didn't raise his head while picking up the rabbit fur: "Mother, don't look for Qingqing in the future." ”

This sentence can be regarded as stabbing the hornet's nest, Aunt Lin's hands patted her thighs, and she couldn't wait to jump up: "I'm going to find the widow's matter?" Have you forgotten the shameful thing that the widow did? And ......"

Aunt Lin pouted Lin Zhong: "Why did you give these rare wild things to that little cheap hoof last time?" In the forest, in the forest, are you going to be angry with me? ”

Aunt Lin has been nagging about this several times, and her ears in the forest have worn out calluses, and she didn't hear it.

Seeing that Lin Zhong was silent, Aunt Lin became more and more energetic the more she spoke: "Do you think your wife is annoying?" Say you still don't listen? If you had half of your brother's ability to study, would I do this to you, my wife? You're okay, you don't have any other skills, you get something and send it to the little widow, you don't care about the life or death of the family? I really have been feeding you for more than thirty years for nothing. ”

"Look at your brother, don't you give a thumbs up to any of the people in the eight villages, you don't do anything at home, you go up the mountain to hunt and give things to the woman, don't you think there is not enough bad luck in the family? Just to provoke that slut. ”

The palms and backs of these hands are full of meat, but what Aunt Lin said was too biased.

Lin Zhong couldn't listen to it anymore: "Mother's ......"

But before he finished speaking, he swallowed the words in his stomach after thinking about it.

This Lin Nan has read a lot of books, but because he is a scholar who doesn't do any work at home, he is busy in the forest inside and out, and he can't get a daughter-in-law in his thirties.

Forget it, after saying that, Aunt Lin didn't know how long she was going to shout again, so Lin Zhong had to go in and out of her left ear.

Although it is poured into the night, but it does not seem to be too dark, the moonlight is like a jade plate hanging in the sky, the light is cold but enough to illuminate in the dark night, every house is plated with a layer of light that seems to be there, the moonlight and the stream melt each other sparkling, the dog barks a few times from time to time, and the night in the countryside is quiet.

Shen Qingqing slept comfortably this night, when she got up, the sky was just dawning, she had a lot of harvest from the market yesterday, and she was not idle today, yesterday's sugar fried chestnuts were extremely sweet, she lit the fire and fried some more, part of it was left for Xiaodouding to eat at home as a snack, and part of it was brought to the market as a noon meal, so as not to spend money to buy food again.

This sugar fried chestnut is not delicious when it is cold, I originally wanted to exchange it for some silver taels, but for the sake of word of mouth, this idea Shen Qingqing stopped.

Put the chestnut scales and some miscellaneous things in the back basket, and instructed Xiaodouding a few words, and Shen Qingqing got on the ox cart to go to the town to sell things.

She didn't come early today, it was said that there should be people coming and going in the market, and unlike what she imagined, there were not many people in the market, and the young eldest sister who sold vegetables yesterday did not come.

When Shen Qingqing set up a stall, he patted his head and remembered: "Look at my brain, this market is once every three days, and this time it is not a market, of course, there are not many people." ”

It is conceivable that today's business is far worse than yesterday, it is almost evening, and I haven't made 20 cents.

When Shen Qingqing was looking down and calculating, someone accosted: "Sister, what are you?" ”

"It's chestnut." Shen Qingqing raised her head, and finally had business come to her door, and her words were very enthusiastic. "It's delicious."

Saying that, Shen Qingqing also looked at the person who came, the person who came was a man about thirty years old, different from the person wearing coarse linen clothes in the bazaar, the cloth on this person was good, with a hat on his head, looking at the style and color of the clothes, it seemed that he was a guy from a large family.

The guy squatted down and looked at the chestnuts, and when Shen Qingqing just wanted to speak, the guy said again: "Sister, is it you who came to sell chestnuts yesterday?" ”

Shen Qingqing was puzzled, but still nodded: "Yes, it was me yesterday, and I am the only business." ”

The guy stood up and waved his big hand: "Okay, girl, what I'm looking for is you, and I want as many chestnuts as I have left." ”

"Huh?" The surprise came too quickly, and Shen Qingqing didn't react for a while. "There are twenty or thirty pounds of chestnuts left, and you want them all."

The guy smiled very honestly: "Sister, you don't know, I bought your chestnuts when I was in the market yesterday, and I have been waiting for you today, don't worry, I won't miss you this silver tael, you can wrap it up for me." ”

Shen Qingqing was only slightly stunned, and the next second he quickly wrapped all the chestnuts and put them on the scale and said: "Big brother, this is a total of twenty-five catties, five cents a catty, you can give me one hundred and twenty wen." ”

Of course, this guy was happy, as a man from a big family, he came to buy things, and some of the remaining silver taels fell into his pocket, and he hurriedly took money from his purse: "I think this girl of yours can do business." ”

"What did the big brother say?" Shen Qingqing is very round in doing things, and of course he has his own plans. "Big brother, if you have any business in the future, just take care of me."

"That's nature." This guy is also a good talker.

The chestnuts were all wrapped, and Shen Qingqing also gave the uneaten sugar-fried chestnuts to the guy by the way: "This is sugar-fried chestnuts, which is very suitable for the elderly to eat, not to mention the sweet taste, but also can nourish the stomach and spleen, and is very nutritious." ”

You're welcome, too, and take it all together.

In this way, before half the afternoon was over, all the chestnuts were sold out, Shen Qingqing weighed the copper plate in his hand, first hid most of the copper plate in his underwear, and then put a small amount of copper plate in his purse, thinking that the sky was fine, and he could go shopping in the bazaar.

The small things I bought yesterday are almost the same, and the big things such as the bed board and cabinet in the house still need silver taels, and Shen Qingqing thinks that she can deal with it, but when she walked to the rice shop, she saw a different thing.

As the saying goes, people take food as the sky, and this food probably refers to rice, but in the lobby of a rice shop called Li Ji Rice Shop, there are two kinds of rice, one is about the same price as rice on the market, and the other rice is only five cents a catty.

That's a very low price.

Shen Qingqing walked in and took a look, only to find that this rice was glutinous rice.

Shen Qingqing touched the mold with his hands, this rice is full of quality, all of them are as smooth as topaz, and they look very good.

Boss Li saw someone coming over and hurriedly greeted him: "Sister, do you want to buy rice?" ”

This Boss Li looked at Sven, spoke politely, and did not have the atmosphere of other businessmen, Shen Qingqing had a good impression at a glance, and asked: "Boss, why is this glutinous rice so cheap?" ”

Boss Li sighed when he heard it: "This rice is also the first time I have entered, and I don't know what it is called. ”

Didn't these people know that it was glutinous rice? I don't know how to eat this glutinous rice?

Shen Qingqing's eyes rolled, and he didn't speak, this glutinous rice is a good thing, not to mention replenishing deficiency and blood, making glutinous rice dumplings, plus white sugar and red date paste, not to mention how delicious it is.

This Shen Qingqing likes this kind of thing very much.

"How?" Boss Li looked at Shen Qingqing and asked. "Do you want this rice?"

"Boss, how many catties do you have in this rice?"

Boss Li immediately planned in his heart: "There are still five catties." ”

Shen Qingqing was happy, patted the glutinous rice and shouted: "Boss, I want all the remaining five catties of glutinous rice, and I will give a total of twenty-three copper plates." ”

Five catties of glutinous rice, bargaining for two copper plates, is already very generous.
