Chapter Twenty-Five: She Wants to Eat Maltose
Speaking of which, Bai Lu can make sugar-fried chestnuts, all of which he learned from his grandfather in later generations.
The era when my grandparents met was earlier than the nineties where Bai Lu is now, Bai Lu's grandmother was born in a scholarly family and was a classmate of her grandfather.
My grandmother liked to eat fried chestnuts with sugar, and at that time, the streets were full of itinerant vendors, and the small vendors selling fried chestnuts with sugar pushed carts along the street to sell, not fixed in one place.
Sometimes I can't buy it if I want to eat it, so in order to please my grandmother, my grandfather specially went to learn how to make fried chestnuts with sugar from a vendor.
After learning, I made it for my grandmother every once in a while, and in that war-torn era, my grandmother was captured by my grandfather who had nothing but fried chestnuts with sugar.
Later, we joined hands for the rest of our lives to share weal and woe.
No matter how the years have changed, the black hair has turned gray, and wrinkles have crept into the corners of his eyes, grandpa still remembers that grandma likes to eat fried chestnuts with sugar, and he will make them for grandma in his spare time.
Almost every time Bai Lu went to her grandparents' house, she could smell the fragrance of fried chestnuts with sugar as soon as she entered the door.
Xiao Wei originally wanted to raise his little face and say that it was okay, but under the reminder of Bai Lu's eyes, "If you don't say it's delicious, you can't eat it anymore", reluctantly, he whispered, "It's delicious." ”
Bai Lu's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and his face changed into a smile in seconds: "Actually, it tastes better with maltose, but there is no maltose to sell on the street, and the old man who sells maltose hasn't been here for a long time, it's a pity...... By the way, are all the chestnuts you have in the sand plucked from the tree in the vegetable garden? ”
Xiao Wei nodded: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, chestnuts will fall and fall all over the ground."
The eldest brother doesn't like to eat boiled, and he doesn't like to eat raw, so he has to store it in the sand first, wait for the old hen in the backyard to lay enough eggs, hatch the chicks, and then raise the chicks, and then make chestnut stewed chickens.
Big brother may like it.
However, Bai Lu is pregnant, and the eggs have to be eaten for her, and she can't hatch the chicks.
But to do so...... It's also delicious.
Xiao Wei went back to the main house and tore off a calendar from yesterday, rolled it into a funnel shape, ran to the kitchen to fill some sugar and fried chestnuts, and said goodbye to Bai Lu very politely for the first time.
"I went to school."
Bai Lu Lao Huai was pleased: "Go ahead, slow down on the road, is it enough to take such a little?" If you don't take a few more, you can eat them on the way when you come back from school hungry. ”
"No, that's enough."
Xiao Wei picked up his schoolbag and went out.
Because it was an experiment, Bai Lu didn't do much, and the round dustpan was only covered with a layer of gold chestnuts, although the fragrance was overflowing and filled the kitchen, in fact, it was just over a catty.
But this more than one catty has ignited a spark, and it is almost the same as the taste of 20 yuan a catty on the street in later generations.
The house is Xiao Cheng's, the chestnuts are Xiao Weicun's, if you want to do something with the chestnuts, you have to wait for the little guy to come back from school, and discuss carefully at night before making a decision.
—
Xiao Cheng was shoveling the sand, and a small figure suddenly appeared next to the sand, raising its little head to look up at him.
The small body carrying the small schoolbag was straight, the dark and bright eyes were full of tension, the little face was tense, and he stretched out his hand towards him, and there was a paper funnel in the small palm, constantly emitting a tempting and greasy burnt sweet fragrance.
"She did it for you."
Knowing that he didn't like sweets, Xiao Wei spoke up before he refused, and spoke frankly and bluntly.
Hearing that Bai Lu specially made it for himself, Xiao Cheng looked at him for a moment, and the paper funnel fell into his hand.
Xiao Wei was so nervous that his little hands trembled.
Trying to hold on, she said, "She wants to eat maltose."
I finally know how to make a request.
Xiao Cheng pursed his lower lip, a faint smile appeared in his deep eyes, and raised his hand to take the paper funnel and chestnut.
Xiao Wei, who had completed the task, turned around and ran.
Luo Sixteen and a few people came over: "Brother Cheng, what did my sister-in-law do for you?" Why is it so fragrant, we have smelled it from far and wide, and it is delicious at first glance! ”
"It looks like chestnuts, boiled chestnuts, roasted chestnuts, chestnut stewed chicken, I have eaten a lot of raw chicken when I was a child, this kind of looks golden butter and bright, and smells burnt, I have never seen it."
The economic level of the town is backward, and there are not many rich and noble families who can eat meat every three or five times, and the chestnut stewed chicken every New Year is enough to make everyone remember it vividly.
Every time I think about it, my saliva is 3,000 feet.
In the envious voices and eyes of a group of wolves and tigers, a salty pig stretched out his hand to the chestnut, and was being glimpsed by Xiao Cheng, who was arrogant with envy, and raising his hand was a critical hit.
Luo Sixteen "whooped" called retracting the hand.
In his hand, he had successfully taken a chestnut away, and peeled the shell while scalding his mouth, and gobbling it down.
Wang Hao and Xiao Dazhuang were jealous and remorseful, hating themselves for being slow to react, and regretting that their hands were not fast enough.
He asked him if it was delicious and what it tasted like.
In Xiao Cheng's gloomy and cold gaze, Luo Sixteen said loudly sixteen times very strongly, "It's delicious!" ”
Actually, it's also true, it tastes delicious!
Xiao Dazhuang looked at him licking his lips unsatisfactorily, and immediately stared at Xiao Cheng, pleading with obvious meaning.
Luo Sixteen was the first to mess with Xiao Cheng, and he had many street revolutionary friendships.
He dared to take something from Xiao Cheng's hand, but they didn't dare, they didn't see Luo Sixteen's pig's trotters that were critted, they were all red, and it was estimated that it hurt enough.
However, it is worth changing to a fragrant chestnut.
Xiao Cheng was in a good mood today, with a cold face and compassion, and one person rewarded a chestnut.
Then lose yourself in a wave of envy.
"Sister-in-law is so good, she researched a new way to eat and specially asked Xiaowei to bring it to Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng is so blessed!"
"This chestnut is so delicious, I will marry a daughter-in-law like my sister-in-law in the future!"
"Come on! You don't even have a girlfriend, and you still want to marry a virtuous and gentle daughter-in-law like your sister-in-law, do you have the ability of Brother Cheng? Daydreaming in broad daylight! ”
"Follow Brother Cheng, there will always be one in the future......"
In the evening, Bai Lu cooked a meal, Xiao Cheng hadn't come back yet, Xiao Wei and her sat at the dinner table and waited.
In the past few days, I have come home from work at this time, and now it is dark, and there is no one to see.
Bai Lu was worried that Xiao Wei was hungry and asked him to eat first, but the little guy shook his head and refused, so he had to wait for Xiao Cheng together, and let him eat some chestnuts to pad his stomach.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the sound of footsteps to come from the open courtyard door, and the majestic figure of the man stepped back.
As before, the first thing he did when he came back was to go to the well and wash his hands with pressed water.
The mud on the shoes was also washed, the clothes were nothing, the shirt and pants were clean, except for a small piece of mud on the hem of the trousers, which was also picked off by him.
After getting along during this time, Bai Lu knew that Xiao Cheng was a very clean person, even if he went to work on the construction site, his clothes were always clean and tidy, and he was meticulous.
On the day the foundation was laid, Wang Hao's clothes were covered with cement slurry of all sizes, the least of which was his.
I changed it as soon as I got home.
And then...... Belch...... Accidentally looked at by her......
