Old Madam Cui held Jiang Zhiluo's hand and said, "I want to come to the door to have a look, and I don't know if you can come back for dinner at noon." ”

Jiang Zhiluo looked at Mrs. Cui's expression of concern for her, and her heart warmed.

Jiang Zhiluo smiled lightly and said, "Mother, let's go into the house and talk." ”

"Okay, okay, let's go into the house and talk, eat lunch first, lunch is ready, I and Hibiscus will wait for you to come back and eat together."

Jiang Zhiluo was pulled into the house by Mrs. Cui, and saw Cui Hejin in the house.

He still looked noble, and when he saw them enter the house, he opened the lid of the pot and brought out the food inside.

Lunch was cabbage and shredded turnips.

It's very simple, the taste is very average, the salt doesn't seem to be too much, the taste is very light, and almost all of it is blistered cabbage.

But Jiang Zhiluo knew that this was already a better meal at home.

Now I just have to eat enough, and I can't take care of anything else.

She found that when eating, both Mrs. Cui and Cui Hejin seemed to have the habit of eating without saying anything, and if she didn't speak, they wouldn't talk either.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mother, I went to the town to take a look, and the caramel business is good, so I bought some glutinous rice and planned to make maltose and sell it." ”

Old Madam Cui paused the chopsticks in her hand, looked at Jiang Zhiluo in shock and said, "Zhiluo, you ...... Would you make maltose? ”

Mrs. Cui naturally also knew that the sugar in the town was more popular, and there were many people who bought it.

Not to mention children eating, even if there is a happy event in the family, they will buy candy.

But caramel is very expensive, so a small piece is a penny.

The people in the village are willing to buy some during the New Year.

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Well, mother, I can make maltose, do we have wheat at home?" ”

Old Madam Cui was stunned and said, "There is wheat." ”

At this moment, Mrs. Cui looked at Jiang Zhiluo and felt that she might be hallucinating.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Well, it's good to have wheat, and after four or five days, you can make maltose." ”

Although Mrs. Cui couldn't believe it, looking at Jiang Zhiluo's confident and calm look, she only felt that she had a convincing feeling.

Mrs. Cui's hands trembled slightly, and she was a little excited when she thought that she could make maltose and sell it at home to make money.

And if you can make maltose at home, you don't have to spend money to buy sugar during the New Year.

Cui Hejin looked at Jiang Zhiluo deeply, and his expression moved, but he didn't say anything.

After lunch and cleaning up, Mrs. Cui hurriedly took out the wheat.

Jiang Zhiluo prepared a basin and put the wheat in it.

"Mother, soak for a day first."

"Okay."

Jiang Zhiluo asked again: "Mother, do we still have beets at home?" ”

Mrs. Cui said: "Also, there is a sack in the cellar." ”

Rural households generally dig cellars under the kang holes, which are not large, but also have a depth of two meters, which is convenient for storing things.

Jiang Zhiluo's eyes lit up, "Mother, I want to make something with these melons." ”

Old Madam Cui looked at Jiang Zhiluo's expression and understood that she must be useful.

Old Madam Cui naturally supported her, "Okay, mother, I'll go to the cellar and take it out." ”

Just when Mrs. Cui was about to enter the cellar of the kang cave under the house, Cui Hejin said softly: "Mother, I'll come." ”

Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Hejian's sick and weak appearance, and said involuntarily: "Can you do it, or let me go down, I have the strength." ”

Cui Hejin was originally walking forward, his steps paused, and he turned to look at Jiang Zhiluo, his narrow eyes were slightly raised, and he glanced at her meaningfully.

This glance, with a thrilling sense of brightness, for some reason, made Jiang Zhiluo skip a beat.

Cui Hejin didn't say anything, but went down to the cellar very easily, and there were steps inside to facilitate going down.

Soon, he took out the sack of beets.

Seeing these beets, Jiang Zhiluo had a bright smile on her face.

Because she seems to see brown sugar and money.

Jiang Zhiluo began to wash the beets and then peel them.

Although Mrs. Cui didn't know what Jiang Zhiluo was going to do, she also took a bench and sat in the courtyard to help peel the skin.

Old Madam Cui still couldn't help but ask, "Zhiluo, do you want to eat this after peeling?" ”

Mrs. Cui doesn't like to eat beets very much.

But there are no vegetables in winter, that is, cabbage, radishes, beets and the like, so they also planted some in that acre of land, ate some, and that's all.

Jiang Zhiluo said softly: "Mother, I plan to make brown sugar and sell it." ”

This time, Mrs. Cui was even more shocked, her eyes widened, and she forgot to react.

Red...... Brown sugar?

She heard her right, right?

Mrs. Cui also knew that her yard was a small fenced courtyard and was not soundproofed.

She pursed her lips, leaned over to Jiang Zhiluo with a stool, and whispered, "Zhiluo, can you really make brown sugar?" ”

"Brown sugar is not easy to buy, and the price is still expensive, but brown sugar, even if it is expensive, some women in the village have to drink some when they are confined, which is good for the body, and some people also drink brown sugar to ward off the cold."

Just thinking about it, you know that there are many people who buy it.

"I also prepared two packets of brown sugar for you, thinking that when you return to the door tomorrow, I will bring them to your father and mother."

Jiang Zhiluo's expression moved, the custom here is to return to the door in three days.

I do have to go back to my parents' house tomorrow.

Thinking of her father and mother and younger brothers and sisters, and thinking of their kindness to her, Jiang Zhiluo's heart also warmed.

"Mother, you can really make brown sugar."

"I don't have to buy brown sugar in the future, I will make it myself, the south uses sugar cane to make brown sugar, we don't have sugar cane here, but we can make it with sugar beet."

"But mother, this matter must be kept secret."

"If it's boiled, we'll buy some beets in the village."

Old Madam Cui said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I won't say it." ”

Naturally, this kind of secret method that can make money cannot be said.

In these years, whoever has a secret method and a secret recipe is hidden and covered.

It's just that just thinking about it, her heart is excited.

Even if their voices were small, Cui Hejin, who was silently writing in the house, still heard it.

Mrs. Cui said, "What will we do later." ”

Jiang Zhiluo said: "After peeling these, they are cut into pieces, and after they are cut into thin pieces, they are steamed. ”

When Cui Hejin heard this, he put down the pen in his hand, got up and went out with a firewood knife.

His steps were light, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui were immersed in doing things, and they didn't see it.

In the evening, when Cui Hejin came back with two bundles of firewood, Mrs. Cui and Jiang Zhiluo had already peeled all the beets and cut them into small pieces.

When Mrs. Cui was about to steam, she found that there was not enough firewood.

When I was in a hurry, I found that Cui Hejin had chopped the firewood back.

Old Madam Cui whispered to Jiang Zhiluo: "Zhiluo, although Hehibiscus has a cold and hard temperament, he is actually very good at hurting people, and you will definitely know how good he is after a long time." ”

Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law respected each other and looked cold and indifferent to her, she was a little anxious.

I can only help with the drawing.

Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Hejian's figure, her expression was slightly dazed, and she couldn't help but think of him in that ancient life.
