Xiao Qing was woken up by crying in the morning, and before dawn, he heard a shrill voice crying at the entrance of the village, and when he heard it carefully, it turned out to be a boy's voice.

The voice seemed to be very familiar, Qiao Yu, who was sleeping next to Xiao Qing, was woken up, she got up and said, "Milk, it seems that Sanxing is crying." ”

Sanxing, this kid is a good boy, but with Du Shi's side, it seems that last night's incident was very troublesome, and even the child was implicated.

At this time, Qiao Erjing also woke up, and he walked out of the door: "Mother, I'll take a look!" ”

Xiao Qing hummed and sat up.

She saw that Zhou was sleeping very deeply, and she was reluctant to call her.

"Xiaoyu, you get up with your mother, we are going to fry chestnuts." Xiao Qing looked at the sky and it was not early.

"Okay, mother!" Qiao Yu rubbed her eyes and stood up.

Xiao Qing and Qiao Yu walked out of the grass hut.

When the two were washing their faces, Qiao Erjing came back and told them a shocking news.

The Jiang family and the Jiao family had a fight last night, and the fight almost killed him, Jiang Feng was lying on the bed and still hadn't woken up.

The roof of the Jiang family was lifted, Jiang Feng worked hard with the Jiao family, Jiao Youjin and Jiao Youshui beat Jiang Feng hard, and the two of them hid in fear and went to the county seat.

Xiao Qing saw that Qiao Erjing wanted to help, but he was afraid that she would not do it, after all, the Jiang family had saved his life, so that he could not wake up when he saw Jiang Feng, and he couldn't get over it with his conscience.

"Erjing, you go and help Jiang Feng hire a doctor, and you can pay the money first." Xiao Qing thought about the greed of the Du family: "Remember, don't pay for medicine!" ”

Qiao Erjing responded cheerfully, and was about to turn around with a smile.

Xiao Qing saw that he was in a hurry, and immediately stopped him: "What's the hurry?" When you come back, remember to go to Lao Ma's house in the village, and let him wait at our door for half an hour. ”

Qiao Erjing nodded gratefully and said yes, touched his head and walked quickly.

Xiao Qing asked Qiao Yu to prepare firewood, she took advantage of the fact that her family was not awake, quickly changed a pound of brown sugar from the mall, and then quickly closed Xiaochao, this pound of brown sugar, it took more than a thousand steps.

Qiao Yu came back with firewood and began to help her light the fire, Qiao Yu saw the brown sugar on the board, and asked Xiao Qing curiously where did it come from, brown sugar is more expensive than salt, and only rich and noble people can afford to eat.

Xiao Qing said that he went to the county last time to buy some, but he never took them out.

Qiao Yu nodded without doubt and helped light the fire.

Xiao Qing first put the chestnuts that were cleaned up last night into a dry pot, and when the fire was hot, she poured a pound of brown sugar into it, put some oil, and began to stir-fry, and after frying for a while, she saw that the sugar was sticking to the chestnuts, and began to add water, the amount of water did not exceed the chestnuts, and began to let Qiao Yu burn on fire.

The family members who smelled the sweet smell began to get up one by one, and the Zhou and Qin families saw that their mother and Xiaoyu got up so early, so they hurriedly rolled up their sleeves to help, but as soon as they arrived under the grass shed, Xiao Qing asked them to wash and wash, and they were ready to go to the county seat to sell chestnuts and winter dates.

The pot here is almost burning, and when she heard the sound of water in it, Xiao Qing opened the pot and began to stir-fry it sharply, she had never fried chestnuts before, and she didn't know what the taste was like when she made it for the first time.

When the water boiled dry, Xiao Qing fried in the pot for a while, and felt that the sweetness and the fusion of chestnuts came out, and she asked Qiao Yu to stop the fire.

She brought the clean basket and put out the fried chestnuts, and looked at the chestnuts in half a basket, so that there were a lot of them.

Xiao Qing took a sea bowl alone for the children to keep, and left half a sea bowl to put aside, thinking that she would take it to the mountains tomorrow to try her luck and give it to the strong man who saved her.

Because it was too hot, the three of them took two and blew them in their hands, and when it was almost cold, the three of them peeled off the skin and stuffed it into their mouths, chewing back and forth, and Zhou chewed one.

"Sweet, fragrant!"

Qiao Yu, who doesn't like to talk, couldn't help but say, "Mother, this is delicious, huh...... The taste is fragrant, and the mouth is full of fragrance. ”

She couldn't help but take two more from the basket, and stared at the bright eyes: "Mother, I'll take two more." ”

Xiao Qing smiled, grabbed a handful of sugar-fried chestnuts and stuffed them into her pocket: "Take a few more, if you don't have enough to eat, take it again!" ”

Qiao Yu smiled with satisfaction and lowered her head shyly: "Thank you, mother, hmm...... Mother is very powerful. ”

Xiao Qing covered the basket of chestnuts with a clean linen cloth, asked the Qin family to cook breakfast for the children, and took Qiao Yu and Zhou to the gate of the courtyard with the basket and bamboo basket on their backs.

At this time, Qiao Erjing had already called the donkey cart of Lao Ma's family, and the three of them got on the donkey cart, and Qiao Erjing carried a basket and two bamboo baskets onto the cart.

Lao Ma is more than half a hundred years old, three children under his knees, he is honest and very good, never quarrel with people in the village, the donkey cart in the county town to the village to fifteen yuan, and the old horse these years, as long as one person two yuan, never add money.

On the way, Xiao Qing heard Zhou's stomach growling, thinking that she hadn't eaten in the morning, and she must buy her some food when she arrived in the county seat.

Along the way, Xiao Qing repeatedly told Zhou and Xiaoyu not to be shy, not to be embarrassed, and to open their voices to sell winter dates and chestnuts.

The two smiled and said yes.

When they arrived on the street, it was dawn, and there were more people on the street, Xiao Qing took the two of them to a clearing on the side of the street, and the three of them put down the bamboo basket and basket.

Xiao Qing opened the hot basket and began to shout loudly to sell chestnuts.

"Sugar-fried chestnuts, sugar-fried chestnuts, freshly fried chestnuts!"

Zhou didn't feel ashamed, she stood by her mother's side, learned her mother's posture, and shouted with her mother: "Sugar-fried chestnuts, buy winter dates, sugar-fried chestnuts, so fragrant chestnuts!" ”

Xiaoyu behind her saw her mother and sister-in-law shouting together, she walked up to them with a smile, beckoned passers-by with her hand, and shouted timidly: "Chestnuts, winter dates, come and buy them!" ”

"Chestnuts, winter dates!"

Xiao Qing couldn't help but laugh when he saw the two shouting stupidly, this is very good, at least it doesn't look like a lie.

She didn't rush to buy things, she had to watch the two of them sell chestnuts and dates more.

Xiao Qing stood on the street and shouted at the top of his voice: "The winter dates on Yao Mountain, the chestnuts on Yao Mountain, the chestnuts fried in brown sugar, are fragrant, sweet and glutinous, come and taste them!" ”

Zhou saw that her mother was shouting loudly, and she also raised her voice: "Sell chestnuts, fragrant and sweet chestnuts......"

As soon as she stopped, two young women walked over beside her: "Is this chestnut delicious?" ”

Zhou Shi saw that someone had come to ask, and responded with an excited smile: "It's delicious." ”

Qiao Yu saw that someone was coming, and stood in place at a loss.

Xiao Qing didn't ask more, he wanted to watch Zhou and Qiao Yu learn how to make a single by themselves.

The slave maid on the woman's side took two from the basket casually, then peeled them off and handed them to the woman: "Miss, this chestnut is very easy to peel, can you taste ......it?"

The maid gave the peeled chestnuts to the woman's mouth.

The woman ate it, chewed it in her mouth, nodded her head as she ate, and nodded her head in her throat, "Well, it tastes okay!" ”
