Chapter 24: Gentleness

"No, no, I still have something at home, and I'm in a hurry to go back."

Although Liu Tingan really wanted to taste something so delicious, he still held back.

He can't make trouble for Brother Cui for this bit of food.

As he spoke, he walked quickly to the courtyard.

Jiang Zhiluo didn't say much.

There were just two leek boxes cooked, Jiang Zhiluo wrapped two of them in oiled paper, handed them to Cui Hejin and said, "It's just done, you can give it to your friends." ”

After handing it to Cui Hejin, Jiang Zhiluo turned around and continued to stare at the leek box in the pot, turning it from time to time to don't let the leek box be mushy.

Cui Hejin walked to the courtyard, and when he came to the door, he handed the two leek boxes wrapped in oil paper to Liu Ting'an and said, "Take it!" ”

"Brother Cui, I'm ......" Liu Tingan was very embarrassed.

Cui Hejin was as cold as ever, and said, "If you treat me as a friend, take it." ”

Liu Tingan knew that Brother Cui looked cold, but he was actually very good.

"That'...... Then you're welcome. ”

"Hmm."

Liu Tingan couldn't help but take a bite, although it was a little hot, but his lips and teeth were fragrant, "Brother Cui, I didn't expect your lady to cook so deliciously." ”

Cui Hejin's expression moved, and he said clearly: "Maybe!" ”

Liu Tingan knew that Cui Hejin was reluctant to talk more, and he didn't mind, eating delicious food, he was all smiling.

When Liu Tingan left, he didn't forget to remind Cui Hejin that he was going to the school tomorrow.

Cui Hejin nodded.

……

After Jiang Zhiluo fried all the leek boxes, the sky was a little dark, and the sugar was finally boiled.

After boiling, she takes it out and puts it away, and when it cools, it can be cut into pieces of brown sugar.

Old Madam Cui looked at this color, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and made sure she was not mistaken, "Zhiluo, it's really boiled, is this brown sugar?"

Jiang Zhiluo knew that her mother couldn't believe it, so she grabbed a small piece with chopsticks and handed it to Mrs. Cui and said, "Mother, if you taste it, you will know if it is true." ”

Old Madam Cui carefully put it in her mouth and tasted it, her eyes lit up instantly, and her excited eyes widened, "Zhiluo, it's really sweet, it's very sweet, it's the taste of brown sugar." ”

Mrs. Cui thought that brown sugar was so expensive and difficult to buy, so she became excited.

The hands holding the chopsticks were a little trembling and unsteady.

She really felt like she was in a dream.

The daughter-in-law is so powerful that she can even make brown sugar.

In this way, the daughter-in-law said that if she can make candles, she will definitely be able to make them.

This will be a little difficult to see, Jiang Zhiluo went to the yard to look at the small wooden barrels, and found that the grease candles were cooled.

She used a knife to split the outer barrel shell.

It's a candle.

Jiang Zhiluo happily took it into the house and lit one with flint and steel.

"Mother, you see, this is the pine resin candle."

Mrs. Cui nodded happily, "Yes, bright, really bright, it's a candle." ”

Jiang Zhiluo also took out the other eight candles, took out one and handed it to Mrs. Cui and said, "Mother, this one is for you, you use it at night, this one is for us in the house, and these five will be put away first." ”

Old Madam Cui looked at the candle in front of her, and she still had a feeling of unreality.

She held it in both hands.

The color of this candle is a little waxy black, which is completely different from the red candle, but the same can be burned and illuminated, and it does not affect it at all.

With so many candles alone, if you want to buy them, it will cost at least a few hundred dollars.

So Mrs. Cui held it carefully, for fear of falling.

"Mother, it's okay, I'll do it again after I use it."

This candle just doesn't look good, but it works just as well when it is illuminated.

In ancient times, many villages were built along the mountains.

The advantage of building by the mountain is that it is convenient to cut firewood and use firewood, and it is convenient to collect and use anything on the mountain.

Mrs. Cui said happily: "Okay, good, it's hard for you." ”

"Mother, it's not hard, it's easy to do this."

She had only gotten some pine resin halfway up the mountain, and if she had gone further up the mountain, she might have found more.

And there is a lot of pine resin halfway up the mountain, and she only gets a part of it.

The room is filled with a strong fragrance.

During the meal, Cui Hejin washed his hands and sat down, and he was quiet from beginning to end.

Jiang Zhiluo looked at his quiet and beautiful expression, and felt that under the candlelight of the pine resin candle, his cold eyebrows and eyes seemed to be dyed with a trace of mild color, and the light shadow seemed to float in his picturesque pupils.

Looking at his appearance at this moment, Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but think that if he was gentle, he should be very gentle, which can warm people's hearts.

Jiang Zhiluo's expression moved, and she didn't speak.

When eating, Mrs. Cui ate the leek box and was full of praise.

"Zhiluo, this leek is really a good thing, it's delicious to stir-fry, and it's delicious to wrap this leek box."

Mrs. Cui thought to herself, this is the same as making steamed buns, with stuffing inside, but the buns are made of noodles, and this leek box can be wrapped out without noodles, which is simpler and more delicious.

She really hadn't eaten anything so delicious since she was exiled.

Mrs. Cui was a little moved just by eating.

This leek box is indeed delicious.

Cui Hejin also ate quietly, although he didn't say anything, Jiang Zhiluo saw that he had more food than usual, and knew that he liked to eat these.

After dinner, Mrs. Cui cleaned up her things, and Jiang Zhiluo took out the wheat that she had soaked yesterday, and then found a clean grate, spread a layer of clean cotton cloth on it, and spread the wheat on it.

In this way, after three or four days, you can make maltose.

But tomorrow morning, you can go to the town to sell brown sugar and give it a try.

She plans to sell it piece by piece, and if she sells it by the pound, ordinary people can't afford it.

Most people just buy one or two pieces for use.

Jiang Zhiluo plans to sell it piece by piece, so that ordinary people may be willing to buy a piece for one or two pennies.

She was going to sell it for two pennies a piece.

In the afternoon, the brown sugar boiled with beets was cut well, and there were almost thirty or forty pieces.

can earn more than 70 yuan.

This is not counted as the cost of sugar beets, because sugar beets are a home-owned dish.

Later, if you use beets to make more brown sugar, you will have to collect it from the village.

After deducting the cost of sugar beets, you can almost get more than 60 cents.

The main thing is that sugar beets are cheap, almost a penny a pound.

If you collect it in the village, the price may be cheaper.

If you can sell it every day, you can make at least one silver a month, not counting the business of making maltose or eating some food later.

If all of them are doing business well, they naturally don't need to save so much on food.

If you have the capital in your hand, you can do some other business later, and if you make more money, you can buy a foundation and build a tiled house.

Now the Cui family's house is a house in Lizheng, and it is also a mud house, the place is too small, and there is no courtyard wall.

She wants to build a better house, according to the style she designed, so that the family can live comfortably, and it will be much more convenient to wash and bathe at night.

Cui Hejin likes to read and read, and he should be happier if he had a separate study.
