He didn't dare to think of it, she did it all, not only did she have nothing, but the eldest brother also asked him to coax her, although she was a little disappointed, the eldest brother knocked on the door not to find him, but she still hoped to help.

Xiao Wei scratched his head and tried to think of a way: "Then I'll roast sugarcane and roast chestnuts for you?"

Bai Lu knew that sweet potatoes could be roasted, taro could be roasted, chestnuts could be made into sugar-fried chestnuts, but he had never heard of it, and sugarcane and chestnuts could also be roasted, so he turned his head with curiosity.

"You repeat, what to bake?"

The food that Xiao Wei had taken from the Eight Immortals Table was all placed in the pocket of his coat that he had made by manually lifting the hem of his clothes, and the fruit cakes and sugar cane were piled up in a pile, and he took out the sugar cane that was buried underneath, and then took out a handful of dark brown chestnuts the size of an adult's thumb from the pocket of his clothes.

Handed it to Bai Lu, he spoke again: "Roasted sugar cane, roasted chestnuts."

Bai Lu stared at a small clump of chestnuts in front of her, her eyes sparkling: "Do you know how to make sugar-fried chestnuts?"

"What's that?"

Seeing that she was finally interested, Xiao Wei tried to think about it for a while, but in the end he could only shake his head sincerely.

"I've never heard of fried chestnuts with sugar, and when our chestnuts are picked, they are usually eaten boiled or roasted, or they can be eaten raw when they are just beaten."

Bai Lu suddenly realized.

No wonder, every time she goes to the street, she either sees a food stall selling roasted sweet potatoes, tofu flowers, eight-treasure porridge with sugar water, or noodles.

I've never seen anyone sell fried chestnuts with sugar.

Due to its subtropical location and unique geographical advantages, G Province is a fruit kingdom in later generations, and chestnuts are certainly one of the origins.

However, before this, due to the small number of migrant workers, underdeveloped information, traffic congestion and other reasons, even after years of reform and opening up, the streets were still full of old paving, and there were no new self-employed people from outside.

There is no new way to do the old things, even if they are piled up on the hillside, they are like pearls of dust, forgotten in the corners.

Sugar-fried chestnuts were a popular snack in later generations, and there were often long queues in front of the shops opened in major developed cities, but unfortunately the practice has not yet spread here.

Shengsheng misses the great opportunity to make money in this world.

Xiao Wei didn't understand, how to speak, Bai Lu suddenly looked at the chestnuts in his hand in a daze, and the gradually changing wolf-like eyes made him even more creepy.

Feel...... It seems that his hand is braised pig's trotters, and he will be bitten off by her in the next second!

"You, if you like to eat chestnuts, there are many more on the tree." …… Don't stare at my hand and gnaw.

Xiao Wei originally thought that it would be easy to coax Bai Lu for his brother, but now it seems to be very dangerous.

Realizing her gaffe, Bai Lu immediately turned back into a smile, "Where are there a lot of trees?" ”

Xiao Wei raised his head and raised his chin.

"On your head."

On the edge of the vegetable garden stands a thick and sturdy tree, about ten or twenty meters high, with lush branches and deep roots, so big that it can be used as a sun umbrella for half of the vegetable garden.

Not only are there trees on the edge of the garden, but the fence of the wide garden is also lined with large trees at intervals.

Every time Bai Lu came, he passed by, thinking that it was just a few years old, ordinary big trees, and occasionally he was tired of hoeing, and he would sit under the tree and rest for a while.

I never thought that these were all fortune trees!

But when she looked up at the moment, she saw only lush green leaves, not even a flower, let alone chestnuts.

"Where's the chestnut?"

Bai Lu looked dazed.

Xiao Wei was even more confused about her ignorance: "The chestnut trees will only start to bloom next month, and the chestnuts will only mature after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so of course there is nothing now."

Ah......h

Bai Lu forgot that the high-tech maturity of later generations, grafting technology, precocious technology, etc. have been popularized.

Many fruit trees have a ripening period all year round, and even if they don't, they have also studied the early maturity period, and the cold chain storage for fruits and vegetables has fresh fruits and vegetables all year round.

But now, here, it is still the 90s, and all the fruit trees grow naturally, bloom and bear fruit naturally.

There is no scientific research product that results all year round.

The dream of making a fortune has just been made, and this is broken?

Xiao Wei saw Bai Lu's face go from excitement, happiness, to loss, sighed, and felt that the mission was about to fail, so he hurriedly said, "There are still many chestnuts at home."

"How many?" Bai Lu's interest is lacking.

The whole town doesn't even have a TV, let alone a refrigerator, and chestnuts can't be stored if they're not frozen.

If the old method is preserved, it is estimated that the flesh will shrink and dry out, and it will not taste like that when fried.

Xiao Wei said: "Four sacks."

"How big is the sack?" Bai Lu asked.

Xiao Wei caught a glimpse of the tall and straight figure in the dark out of the corner of his eye, and immediately straightened his small body.

"Older than me."

Bai Lu raised his eyes and looked at the little guy, and the fire that had just been extinguished in his eyes instantly ignited again.

"Where? Take me to see it! ”

The sack in the nineties is not small, it has to be a hundred catties full of chestnuts, even if it is not stored properly, only half of the chestnuts are good, which is a lot of money.

Xiao Wei led the way.

Bai Lu took the chestnut in his hand, opened it and found that the flesh was light yellow and obviously intact.

I tried one, and the taste was crisp and sweet, basically the same as the freshly picked chestnuts.

"How is this preserved?"

The wisdom of the ancestors is too invincible!

Xiao Wei took Bai Lu to the firewood room and pointed to a ventilated corner, "There." ”

Bai Lu only saw a pile of sand.

To be precise, it's a very tall and wide sand pile.

The last time the kitchen was leaking, she saw it when she came here to cook, but she didn't take it seriously.

In Xiao Cheng's memory, when he bought this house, the sand pile already existed, and it is estimated that when the previous owner built the house, he bought more than he bought and did not use up, and the rest.

While Bai Lu was pondering, Xiao Wei had already put aside the things in the hem of his coat and went to dig the sand.

After a while, he dug out a coarse cloth bag as big as him, and dragged it to Bai Lu with his hands and feet.

"There's three more bags in there."

The coarse cloth bag full of chestnuts in front of me is made of similar material to a sack, and it is indeed more ventilated and breathable than a plastic bag.

It's also very big, and it looks like it's hundreds of pounds.

Bai Lu's face was full of surprise: "If the chestnuts are put into a coarse cloth bag, they won't be bad if they are buried in the sand?"

Xiao Wei felt that she was not like a local at all, how could she not even understand the common sense that everyone understood.

But in view of the fact that the task was not completed, she could only answer her question honestly: "When chestnuts are picked from the tree, they must be washed with salt water first, soaked in them, dried them, and then buried in the sand pile, so that they will not spoil."

"Oh...... I see. Bai Lu understood.

Just now, I pinched the chestnuts inside through the coarse cloth bag, and found that many of them were still hard and solid, and there was no shrunken pine shell.

You don't need to look at it to know it's very well preserved!

"Let's go, I'll make something delicious for you to taste!"

She can't even store chestnuts, Xiao Wei doesn't believe that she can make anything delicious.

Sure enough.

Bai Lu was stunned as soon as she arrived in the kitchen.

Because she doesn't have maltose, only the white sugar she picked up in Li Shuixian's shop last time.
