I thought that Jiang Mengliang would come back at ten o'clock at noon, after all, this place is not far from the town, but I didn't expect to come back when the sun was about to set.

As soon as he entered the door, he came to Jiang Xiaonian's face, and said happily: "I ran several blacksmith shops, and they all said that the shape was too complicated to do, so I went to the county, and finally found a blacksmith shop that could be made, and paid a part of the silver, saying that it would be enough to pick up the goods in a few days." ”

"It's hard work daddy." Jiang Xiaonian showed a sweet smile and said coquettishly.

Jiang Mengliang looked at his daughter happy, and his heart was also happy, this tiredness is nothing.

Four days later, Jiang Mengliang went to the county to bring back the special drum wok, and couldn't wait to try it out.

In the past few days, Jiang Xiaonian also went to the river to pick some small stones to dry and put them in a wok, which can make the chestnuts heat more evenly.

The chestnuts have been cut with a knife, added to the caramel and stir-fried, and the whole room is fragrant.

The family stared at the wok, shaking it and adding firewood, and the fragrance of sugar-fried chestnuts attracted Jiang Wei, who was studying in the room.

The Jiang family, plus Li Erzhu, all looked at the woks and swallowed saliva.

After more than half an hour, Jiang Xiaonian estimated that there was enough time, so he asked everyone not to move, not to add firewood, fry a few more times, and then put it in it to simmer.

Everyone couldn't wait, especially Jiang Wei and Fu Yuan, the two children, who couldn't wait to put their hands into the pot.

After a while, Jiang Xiaonian finally relented and said that it was okay, and everyone poured out the fried chestnuts with anticipation.

Before he could sift off the fine sand and gravel inside with a sieve, a few hands reached over.

Even Li Erzhu, who has always been embarrassed to eat and drink for nothing, must pay for the meal, couldn't help but stretch out his hand at this moment.

The chestnuts are fried moist and shiny, and each one has a large opening, revealing the golden chestnut flesh inside.

While smelling the fragrance, while peeling the still hot sugar fried chestnuts with their hands, several people's expressions were very focused, even if their hands were burned, they just put them in their mouths and sucked them, and continued to peel the chestnut shells.

When you eat it, it is full of flavor.

"It's delicious!"

Sugar-fried chestnuts have been highly praised by everyone, and if they are sold in the town, they will definitely be popular.

This time, I only fried a small pot, and I didn't plan to sell it, so Zhou Huihui put some in a cloth bag and sent it to a few familiar houses, so that they could also try it.

After receiving it, I tasted it and thought it tasted good, and the fragrance of sugar-fried chestnuts can attract many people.

Especially the children of several families, they eat so much that they don't care if their nails are blackened.

Before dawn the next day, when the backyard donkey was grinding, he only needed Zhou Huihui to add soybeans and water alone, and Jiang Mengliang took the time to fry chestnuts in the kitchen, planning to sell them in the town.

Fried chestnuts are not delicious when they are cold, Jiang Mengliang also went to the blacksmith shop in the town yesterday to make a small stove, adding some charcoal fire to keep the chestnuts hot.

Although you can only put a few catties of chestnuts on it, it doesn't matter, you can't sell too much at once, and you can add as much as you sell.

Zhou Huihui had to wait at home for the carriage that would pull the tofu, so Jiang Mengliang went to the town alone.

Before going to the town, I discussed that fried chestnuts cost ten cents a catty, or you can not buy a catty, how much is weighed.

Jiang Xiaonian did not follow, but went to the mountains to pick chestnuts again.

After picking it back, she didn't rush to peel it, she has been peeling chestnuts for the past few days, and her hands are almost worn out.

She took out the pocket money she had saved, and spent three pennies to ask Li Erzhu to help him peel it.

Li Erzhu couldn't make money in the first place, and he had been spending the savings left to him by his brother, and he was able to earn money at the moment, so he happily agreed.

Jiang Xiaonian leisurely ate chestnuts, sat in Jiang Wei's room, and watched him read.

"Brother, are you sure to be admitted to Yuelu Academy?"

Because Yuelu Academy is very famous, there are many students who come here to study, so if you want to enter the academy, you must pass the exam.

Of course, a rich kid like Tang Tao doesn't have to worry, he can get in by spending a little more silver.

Jiang Wei said while looking at the book with a bamboo slip: "So I've been reading hard these days, Tang Tao also asked me to go to Yuelu Academy together, don't let him enter when I don't enter, this will live up to his intention of asking me to study together." ”

Jiang Xiaonian smiled and said, "Why did he suddenly ask you to go to the academy to study together?" Isn't he the one who hates learning the most? ”

"I don't understand this matter either, it doesn't look like he's joking, but like he's made a lot of determination."

"If you go to Yuelu Academy together, you can be classmates, and you can take care of him, maybe with him, no one will dare to bully my brother."

Jiang Wei glanced at Jiang Xiaonian, who was eating chestnuts, and said, "I'm a Wenqu star, so naturally no one dares to bully." ”

Jiang Xiaonian glared at him, how could his brother know that he was making fun of her now?

Before it was time for lunch, Jiang Mengliang came back with a smile on his face.

"Huihui, Xiao Nian, fried chestnuts have been sold! I got 360 yuan, let's continue to sell it tomorrow, I think this is better than selling tofu! ”

Stir-frying chestnuts is much easier than making tofu, and it only takes more than half an hour, and the profit is also high.

Zhou Huihui said while collecting the money: "Don't say this, we can't waste tofu for a living, although we don't make much money now, but as long as the people in the town find out that tofu is good, we will definitely make a lot of money in the future." ”

After a pause, he said: "Besides, this chestnut is also available in this season, how can it be earned all year round?" At most, it is preserved for the winter, that is, a season's livelihood. ”

Jiang Xiaonian thought that the reason why the tofu business has not improved is probably because people don't know how to eat, if it is like the Qian family restaurant in the past, there is a demonstration of how to eat, it should be much better.

As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, she still had to open a restaurant in the town.

However, she didn't plan to partner with Qian Dehou again, not because the relationship between the two families broke down, but because she was thinking about whether she could move him and be the chef of their family.

After all, selling tofu and raw materials always has to be divided among him, which hurts the money.

In the past, there was no way, the family had no family background, and could only empty gloves white wolf, but now it is different, with the economic situation of the family, it is enough to open a restaurant in the town.

I just don't know if Qian Dehou will agree.

Of course, this matter will have to be done at the beginning of spring next year at the earliest, and it will have to be discussed with the adults in the family.

Li Erzhu peeled chestnuts in the yard for an afternoon, and finally finished peeling them, he stretched his waist and moved around, and the money was really not easy to make.

Jiang Xiaonian looked at Li Erzhu, who was working seriously and meticulously in the yard, and showed a smile, and there will be guys in the store in the future.

Unlike Qian Dehou, who rested at home and was very comfortable, Zhu Changfei entered the intense work not long after he arrived, and continued to kill pigs and sell meat.

Jiang Xiaonian thought that in the future, the purchase of meat could be purchased from him.
