The maltose made by the old man is very dense and viscous, and it needs to be diluted with water before it can be used to fry chestnuts.

Yesterday, Bai Lu went to buy vegetables, and met the old man who sold maltose in the vegetable market, and specially asked the other party to keep it.

I went grocery shopping this morning, and I waited for a while.

Water has been added to the pot, and the maltose is put only after the water is hot, Bailu did not pour it all, only poured more than a catty, after all, the syrup can not be boiled at one time.

It doesn't take that much to fry chestnuts in one round.

She held the spatula in her hand, stirring the unmelted sugar and water, and occasionally peeked at the silent man burning the fire.

The outline of the handsome face against the red and bright firelight is less cold, more angular, and even the indifferent lip flap is extraordinarily sexy, and after the laceration is recovered, the whole face is so handsome that it is a mess.

"It's so pretty......"

The man raised his eyes at the sound.

Bai Lu quickly retracted his gaze and coughed: "That, I mean, this maltose is so fragrant, it's so sweet with water, you can smell it even if you don't drink it...... Sure enough, it's much better than boiling sugar syrup, and you should put this kind of syrup on sugar-fried chestnuts, it must taste great......"

Xiao Cheng looked at her slightly red cheeks, his hands stirring in the opposite direction, and deliberately stared at the eyes of the spatula.

opened his voice in a deep and mellow voice: "It's quite sweet."

Bai Lu felt that her face was even hotter, and she turned around and smiled: "Yes, I think too."

"Don't you like sugar water very much? Wait until the syrup is boiled, and I'll make you a cup of maltose water, right? ”

"No, you don't." Xiao Cheng refused.

"Yes, yes!" Bai Lu was afraid that he would be embarrassed: "You are so busy and help me light the fire, and if you don't drink sugar water, you have to eat two pieces of sugar, otherwise you will have the strength to work in the afternoon."

Even the reason has been found.

Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, didn't say anything, picked up an arm-thick piece of wood, and held one in one hand.

With a "click", it broke in two.

Slowly stuffed into the stove hole, and after a while, there was a crackling sound of sparks shattering.

Bai Lu knew that he had the strength to work.

But last night, he drank maltose water in a few gulps, and he obviously liked it very much!

Do you prefer to eat fried chestnuts with sugar now?

After all, in the morning he ate faster than he drank sugar water, and she swallowed the dates after swallowing them, and she suspected that he had not chewed them.

The more Bai Lu thought about it, the more he felt that he had found the truth, there was still a little bit of chestnuts fried in the morning, and after boiling the syrup, he would put it in his pocket and let him take it to work and eat.

Xiao Cheng didn't know what Bai Lu was thinking, he only felt that her eyes were too friendly.

It was overwhelming for him.

"The house next door will be built in less than a month." He said.

"Fifth Aunt's house." Bai Lu reminded tactfully, with a smile on her face, as warm and soft as the sun.

Xiao Cheng glanced at her and was silent for a moment.

The thin lips opened lightly, and he read the first neighbor in his life, in addition to his name and code name-

"Fifth aunt."

Except for Xiao Dazhuang and Luo Sixteen, as well as their families and Lao Hu, Xiao Cheng rarely interacted with outsiders.

Coupled with the taciturn and lonely personality, communication with neighbors is even more rare, almost none.

Being able to reluctantly say the word five aunts, Bai Lu felt that he was really good, raised his hand and took out a malt candy from the bucket and sent it to his mouth with his own hands: "Here you go."

"It's very sweet, very sweet!"

Xiao Cheng: "......"

He wanted to take those two words back.

It's not a three-year-old child, what kind of reward do you want?

Maltose is sweet in addition to sweetness......

Bai Lu put the sugar in his mouth, withdrew his hand, and continued to stir the half-melted maltose in the pot.

"It will be built in less than a month, so fast, have you found some more people to build the house?"

In the morning, she saw six or seven more new faces, all of whom followed Luo Sixteen and called her sister-in-law together.

They must have known each other before.

Xiao Cheng chewed the maltose indiscriminately, swallowed it, and nodded: "The fifth aunt hopes to close the house as soon as possible."

With more manpower, it can indeed be built faster.

What Bai Lu was worried about was that if it was completed so quickly, would Xiao Cheng want to collect Li Chengbin's account again.

In the previous life, Xiao Cheng and Luo Sixteen, Xiao Dazhuang, and Wang Hao did go to Li Chengbin's house the night before yesterday.

But at that time, Li Chengbin was not at home, only his wife Sun Huiping and his 10-year-old son were at home.

Wang Hao asked Sun Huiping where Li Chengbin was, but Sun Huiping said she didn't know and didn't come back.

Xiao Cheng and the others waited for five minutes and left.

I didn't step into Li Chengbin's house half a step during the whole process, and even the questioning was asked outside, through the big iron door.

Before leaving, Sun Huiping's mother and son were fine, but the next day, there was news of the accident.

The ten-year-old son was fine, but Li Chengbin and Sun Huiping were both shot and were lying in the hospital.

Xiao Cheng and Luo Sixteen became scapegoats.

The territory of the big boss and Li Chengbin began to spark and gradually evolved into a gang dispute.

The big boss thought that he had thrown Xiao Cheng's chess piece out, but he didn't know that everything was in the hands of Li Chengbin's old man, getting rid of Xiao Cheng and breaking the big boss's right-hand man.

The trajectory of this life has changed.

Li Chengbin and Sun Huiping were still shot and are still lying in the hospital, but Xiao Cheng is safe and sound.

Of course, he knew that it was not Xiao Cheng who did it, but the power on the big boss's side was too big and complicated.

Even if he is the deputy of Nanshi, he has to weigh his start, so he can only take Xiao Cheng first.

I don't know how many tricks have been planned in the dark, waiting for Xiao Cheng to step on it, Li Chengbin's account is simply a dead account.

Bai Lu would not let Xiao Cheng touch it again.

"Then you can build a house and rest for a while." She sighed casually.

Xiao Cheng actually had a private order, which was asked by the head snake in Nanshi to collect it, and he directly crossed the big boss.

Debt collection of 300,000 yuan, commission of five points.

The debtor is the owner of the Longcheng Song and Dance Hall next door, Luo Sixteen has investigated, and there is no big problem.

I was still working under the big boss before, and I had some scruples and didn't take it.

After the shotgun incident, he faltered.

He didn't want to tell Bai Lu, but remembered what she said last time when she had been angry for a long time......

"Knock knock—"

A knock on the door interrupted Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu's thoughts.

Xiao Wei, who was blowing bubble gum in the room, ran to open the door, it was the fifth aunt, Wen Xiuyun.

Wen Xiuyun came to find Bai Lu.

After coming a few times, I got acquainted, and when I saw Xiao Cheng walking out, I also smiled and said hello.

Xiao Cheng bowed his head slightly and went out.

It's almost time to start work.

The maltose syrup of Bailu is also boiled.

The sweet fragrance wafted out, and Wen Xiuyun sat in the courtyard and waited, not entering the kitchen.

Xiao Wei went to the kitchen to talk to Bai Lu, then ran back to the room and played with bubblegum stickers.

Bai Lu quickly packed up his things and came out.

Wen Xiuyun couldn't wait to explain the intention: "The sugar-fried chestnuts have been sold out, and there are really not enough leftovers, many people haven't bought them, so I asked if I still have them."
