90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 25 She wants to eat maltose

 Speaking of which, Bai Lu knows how to make sugar-roasted chestnuts, which she learned from her grandfather in later generations.

The era when grandparents met was earlier than the 1990s when Bai Lu is now. Bai Lu’s grandmother came from a scholarly family and was classmates with her grandfather.

Grandma likes to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts. At that time, the streets were full of mobile vendors. The small vendors selling sugar-roasted chestnuts pushed their carts along the street and sold them. They were not fixed in one place.

Sometimes he couldn’t buy anything he wanted to eat. In order to please his grandma, grandpa went to learn how to make sugar-roasted chestnuts from a vendor.

 After learning how to cook it, I cooked it for my grandma every now and then. In that war-torn era, my grandma was captured by my grandpa who had nothing but candied roasted chestnuts.

 Later, we spent the rest of our lives together in adversity.

No matter how the years change, his black hair turns gray, and wrinkles creep into the corners of his eyes, grandpa still remembers that grandma likes to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts, and he would cook them for her in her spare time.

Almost every time Bai Lu went to her grandparents' house, she could smell the aroma of roasted chestnuts as soon as she entered the door. When she was a child, she was curious and wanted to learn everything, and she got good at it.

Xiao Wei originally wanted to put up a face and say it was okay, but when Bai Lu's eyes reminded him, "If you don't say it's delicious, you can't eat it again." He reluctantly said, "It's delicious."

Bai Lu's eyebrows turned into a smile, and she said, "Actually, maltose is more delicious with maltose, but there is no maltose sold on the street, and the old man who sells maltose has not been here for a long time. It's a pity... By the way, you left the chestnuts in the sand, Are they all picked from the tree in the vegetable garden?”

Xiao Wei nodded: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the chestnuts will fall and fall all over the ground."

The eldest brother doesn’t like to eat cooked food, nor does he like to eat them raw, so he has to store them in the sand until the old hen in the backyard lays enough eggs and hatches the chicks, and then raises the chicks to make braised chestnut chicken. .

 Brother might like it.

But Bai Lu is pregnant and the eggs have to be given to her to eat, but the chicks cannot be hatched.

 But it’s also delicious when done this way.

Xiao Wei went back to the main room and tore off yesterday's calendar, rolled it into a funnel shape, ran to the kitchen to pack some roasted chestnuts, and said goodbye to Bai Lu politely for the first time.

"I'm going to school."

Bai Lulaohuai was pleased: "Go on, slow down on the road. Is this enough enough? Why don't you take a few more pills? You can eat them on the road when you get hungry after school."

 “No, that’s enough.”

 Xiao Wei picked up his schoolbag and went out.

Because it was a test, Bailu didn’t do much. The big round dustpan was only covered with a layer of golden chestnuts. Although the fragrance was full and filled the kitchen, it was only a little more than a pound.

But this little more than a kilogram has ignited a spark, and the taste is almost the same as the 20 yuan a kilogram on the street in later generations.

The house belongs to Xiao Cheng and the chestnuts belong to Xiao Weicun. If you want to do something with the chestnuts, you have to wait until the little guy comes back from school and discuss it carefully at night before making a decision.

  —

Xiao Cheng was shoveling sand when a small figure suddenly appeared next to the sand pile, raising his little head and looking up at him.

The little body carrying a small schoolbag was straight, the dark and bright eyes were full of nervousness, the little face was tense, and she stretched out her hand towards him. There was a paper funnel in the little palm, which kept exuding bursts of tempting and cloying sweetness. fragrance.

 “She made it for you.”

Knowing that he didn’t like sweets, Xiao Wei spoke frankly before he refused.

Hearing that Bai Lu made it specially for him, Xiao Cheng's eyes paused and fell on the paper funnel in his hand.

 Xiao Wei was so nervous that his little hands trembled.

Trying to keep steady, he said: "She wants to eat maltose."

 Finally I know how to make requests.

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.

 After completing the task, Xiao Wei turned around and ran away. Luo Shiliu and others came over and said, "Brother Cheng, what did my sister-in-law cook for you? Why is it so fragrant? We can smell it from afar, and it tastes delicious at first glance!"

"It looks like chestnuts. I've seen boiled chestnuts, roasted chestnuts, and braised chestnut chicken. I picked them and ate them raw a lot when I was a kid. I've never seen this kind of thing that looks golden and shiny, and smells like burnt aroma." "

The small town’s economic level is backward, and there are not many wealthy families who can eat meat every now and then. The braised chestnut chicken every Chinese New Year is enough to make everyone’s memory fresh.

　　Every time I think of it, my mouth wateres.

Amidst the envious voices and gazes of a group of wolves and tigers, one hand reached out to Chestnut. Xiao Cheng, who looked envious and arrogant, caught a glimpse of him. He raised his hand and struck a critical blow.

Luo Shiliu said "ouch" and retracted his hand.

 But he had successfully slipped a chestnut away in his hand, and was scalding his mouth to peel the shell, while devouring it.

Wang Hao and Xiao Dazhuang were jealous and regretful. They hated their slow reaction and regretted that their hands were not fast enough.

I eagerly asked him if it was delicious and what it tasted like.

Luo Shiliu said loudly and powerfully "delicious!" sixteen times under Xiao Cheng's gloomy and cold eyes.

 In fact, it’s true, it tastes delicious!

Xiao Dazhuang looked at him licking his lips with unfinished thoughts, and immediately stared at Xiao Cheng with obvious pleading.

Luo Shiliu was the first to hang out with Xiao Cheng. They had many friendships with street revolutionaries. On weekdays, Xiao Cheng didn't take it seriously when he talked freely and got into small fights.

He dared to take something from Xiao Cheng's hand, but they didn't dare. They didn't see Luo Shiliu's pig's trotters that were hit hard. They were all red, and they were probably very painful.

However, it’s worth replacing it with a fragrant chestnut.

 Xiao Cheng was in a good mood today. He showed mercy with a cold face and rewarded each person with a chestnut.

 Then lose yourself in the sounds of envy.

“Sister-in-law is so kind. She came up with a new way to eat it and even asked Xiaowei to bring it to Brother Cheng. Brother Cheng is so lucky!”

“This chestnut is so delicious. I want to marry a wife as powerful as my sister-in-law!”

“Come on! You don’t even have a girlfriend, and you still want to marry a virtuous and gentle wife like your sister-in-law. Do you have what Brother Cheng has? You’re daydreaming in broad daylight!”

“Following Brother Cheng, there will always be opportunities in the future...”

　　In the evening, Bai Lu cooked dinner, but 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 been returning home from work at this time. It is already dark now and there are still no people around.

Bai Lu was worried that Xiao Wei was hungry and asked him to eat first, but the little guy shook his head and refused, insisting on waiting for Xiao Cheng together, even if he let him eat some chestnuts to cushion his stomach.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for footsteps to be heard from the open courtyard door, and the majestic figure of the man returned.

As before, the first thing he did when he came back was to go to the well and wash his hands with water.

The mud on the shoes was also washed away, and the clothes were fine. The shirts and pants were all clean, except for a small piece of mud on the trouser legs, which he also picked off.

After getting along with each other 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 would always be clean and tidy, and he would be meticulous.

On the day when the foundation was laid, Wang Hao’s and others’ clothes were stained with cement slurry of all sizes, and his was the least.

 Change them out as soon as you get home.

Then... uh... I accidentally looked at her...
