After peeling all the chestnut fruits, Cai Xiaoxiao was ready to fry the chestnuts, after all, whether you are cooking or making pastries, you need cooked chestnuts.

Taking the peeled chestnuts to the kitchen, Cai Xiaoxiao found scissors, gestured at a basket of chestnuts, then picked up a chestnut, and used scissors to cut the butt part of the chestnut to a length and depth of about five millimeters.

When Cai Xiaoxiao was making chestnuts, Zhao Kangcheng and the four of them also came back, and shouted to Zhao Wang, who was sitting in the courtyard: "Mother." ”

Zhao Wu shouted, "Old lady." ”

Zhang Mu and Li Yuan also politely greeted Zhao Wang's family: "Aunt Zhao." ”

"Isn't this Xiaomu and Li Yuan, why are they here together?" Zhao Wang asked.

"Ah, I came here because I was invited." The two said shyly.

"That's right, then let's stay for dinner." Zhao Wang said.

"Okay."

"Mother, what about Xiaoxiao?" Zhao Kangcheng waited for them to finish and asked.

"In the kitchen, I'm working on that thorn fruit called chestnut." Zhao Wang pointed to the kitchen and said.

"Huh? Chestnut? Zhao Kangcheng looked at the kitchen, "I'll take a look." ”

"Ah, I'll go too." Out of curiosity about chestnuts, Zhao Wu and the three of them also went to the kitchen to watch.

"Daughter-in-law." The four of them came to the kitchen and saw Cai Xiaoxiao's busy figure, Zhao Kangcheng shouted.

Cai Xiaoxiao turned around, saw them, and said, "You're back, but dinner may have to wait for a while, and I'm making chestnuts." ”

"It's okay sister-in-law, we're not in a hurry." Zhang Mu and Li Yuan said, "We are more curious about what chestnuts look like than dinner? ”

"Ah, this......" Cai Xiaoxiao turned around and showed them the chestnut, "That's it, after peeling off that green shell, that's it inside." ”

"Wow!" Zhao Kangcheng and the four of them looked at the pile of chestnuts with a look of surprise, "So you can really eat it?" Zhang Mu asked.

"Hmm." Cai nodded slightly.

"How to eat? Stir-fry? Li Yuan then asked.

"Hmm!" Cai Xiaoxiao continued to nod.

Zhao Kangcheng saw that she was holding scissors, frowned, walked over, and said, "I'll come, just cut it, right?" He asked, looking at the other chestnuts he had made.

"Ah, yes, that's right, then, Xianggong, be careful, wash it and soak it in water for a while, I'll go get dinner first." Cai Xiaoxiao handed the scissors to Zhao Kangcheng and said.

"Sister-in-law, is there anything we can do to help?" Zhang Mu and Li Yuan asked.

"Not for the time being, just go and rest." Cai Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "If there are too many people in the kitchen, it will not be able to be used." This is to prevent the two of them from feeling uncomfortable.

"Then it's hard for sister-in-law and Brother Kangcheng." Zhang Mu and Li Yuan understood what Cai Xiao meant, said, and left the kitchen.

Zhao Wu stayed to help the two of them, after all, he also had experience in fighting before.

Because there are guests today, Cai Xiaoxiao plans to make tonight's dinner more sumptuous, and it just so happened that he bought some dishes yesterday and brought them back, including a crucian carp, so the first dish will be braised crucian carp.

Cai Xiaoxiao took out the crucian carp, first cleaned the scales and internal organs of the crucian carp, then drew oblique knives on both sides of the fish, and then cut the green onion and ginger into minced pieces, and at the same time signaled Zhao Wu to light the fire.

After the pot is hot, pour in cold oil, and when the oil is hot, first put in the spices such as green onion and ginger, and then put the fish in, at this time Zhao Kangcheng also processed the chestnuts, put them in clean water and soaked them, and then he asked Cai Xiaoxiao: "What to do next?" ”

"Just soak it first, and then I'll get it when I'm done frying it." Cai Xiaoxiao stared at the fish in the pot and said.

"Then I'll entertain Zhang Mu and Li Yuan." Since there is nothing to help, then we can only go and entertain guests, Zhao Kangcheng said.

"Hmm."

When one side of the fish is fried until golden brown, Cai Xiaoxiao reverses the other side until both sides are golden brown, Cai Xiaoxiao pours in cooking wine and soy sauce, and then adds a bowl of hot water, after which you can put it out of the pot as long as the soup becomes rich.

The braised crucian carp is ready, Cai Xiaoxiao thought about it, put the water of the chestnuts out, and then wait for the pot to boil dry, pour an appropriate amount of salt into the pot, and then pour the drained chestnuts into it, and then start to stir-fry constantly, so that each side of the chestnuts can be evenly heated.

Stir-fry until the salt particles stuck to the chestnuts fall off, and the salt in the pot begins to change color, start to slowly add a spoonful of sugar, and then continue to stir-fry until the sugar and salt become again and no longer stick to the chestnuts, Cai Xiaoxiao signaled Zhao Wu to put out the fire for a while, and then close the lid and stuff for a while, and then you can use chopsticks to clip the ripe chestnuts one by one, after all, she has no colander.

"It smells so good, ma'am." The fragrance of chestnuts made Zhao Wu smell it and couldn't help but admire.

"yes." Cai Xiaoxiao smiled, then handed him the chestnuts and said, "Take it to the living room for the master to taste, peel off the black shell on the outside and eat it, be careful of scalding, by the way, ask them if they want to drink?" ”

"Okay." Zhao Wu took the chestnut and walked to the living room.

In the living room, Zhao Kangcheng, Zhang Mu, and Li Yuan were chatting, and then they smelled a fragrance, and when they looked back, they just saw Zhao Wu appearing with chestnuts, and shouted to them: "Master, Brother Xiaomu, Brother Yuan, Mrs. asked me to bring the chestnuts to you to taste, and at the same time let me ask you if you need to drink some wine?" Zhao Wu put the chestnut on the table.

"It's already done?" Zhao Kangcheng and the three of them walked over curiously, looking at the steaming chestnuts, the three of them stretched out their hands curiously, and then they were all burned without accident, "Hot, hot." ”

"It's a little hot because it's just out of the pot." Zhao Wu explained, and then asked Zhao Kangcheng, "Master, do you want wine?" ”

Zhao Kangcheng thought for a while and asked Zhang Mu and Li Yuan: "Do you want to drink?" ”

"Drink, no need, let's just drink tea." Zhang Mu and Li Yuan waved their hands and said.

Zhao Kangcheng said to Zhao Wu: "That's it, no need to drink, you go and call the old lady to eat together." ”

"Okay." Zhao Wu ran to the courtyard and called Zhao Wang: "Old lady, the old man asked you to go over and eat chestnuts together." ”

"It's fried, isn't it, then I'll go over and taste it." Zhao Wang put the needle and thread and cloth into the basket and followed Zhao Wu to the living room.

In the living room, Zhao Kangcheng, Zhang Mu and Li Yuan couldn't help but start tasting because they were curious.

"Mother." Zhao Kangcheng pulled out a chair for Zhao Wangshi to sit down, and then handed her the peeled chestnuts, "Taste it, it tastes very fragrant." Then he said to Zhao Wu, "You can also sit down and eat together." ”

"Yes, sir."
