Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods

Chapter 24 24. Going to Fucheng

Cheng Xi returned with a full load.

When she entered the door, she threw down a pile of firewood, and most of the cotton clothes on her body were wet, only the place where the back basket was pressed was still dry.

just
"Why is the snow on the ground ten centimeters thick again?"

The yard that was just cleared in the morning is now piled up with a thick layer. Every time a footstep is stepped on, there are still big snowflakes falling in the sky.

Nothing.

But what has to be done must be done, otherwise the snow will only pile up and thicken.

Shen Xingqi was cooking in the kitchen, and was very happy to see her back, so she took the bamboo basket for her.

"My sister-in-law is amazing! I cut so much firewood in such a short time."

"Hey, what is this?"

She was looking at a mushroom-shaped thing in the bamboo basket, "It can't be Ganoderma lucidum, can it?"

"If you answered correctly, I will reward you for having an extra bowl of rice at noon."

"I've gained several pounds from eating."

It's all because the food at home is so good, especially Cheng Xi's craftsmanship is so good that she has to struggle with her reason every time she eats.

If this continues, she will become the fattest girl in the village sooner or later.

However, the distress only lasted for a second, and the next moment the little girl raised her head, full of expectation:
"Sister-in-law, how do you eat the chestnuts my brother brought back yesterday?"

how to eat?
Of course, try everything!
Cheng Xi proved 108 different ways to eat chestnuts with practical actions. It was snowing outside and the house was warm. There was not much room around the iron stove, and a bunch of tools were prepared.

The chestnuts were washed and dried, and then a small slit was gently cut on the back with a knife, and two large bowls were peeled repeatedly in this way.

She brushed oil on one of the bowls, put it in the space under the iron stove and baked it, then picked up the remaining bowl and went straight to the kitchen.

"Xingqi, bring some sugar over here."

"okay!"

The little girl kept up with her, but what about the ladylike etiquette that has been cultivated over the past ten years?

For now it's all forgotten.

Shen Xingluo who was sitting in the living room reading a book: "."

Watching the two leave, the corner of the man's mouth twitched faintly, and finally said nothing.

In the kitchen, one person is in charge of cooking and the other is in charge of watching the fire.

Boil the iron pan dry, pour in the salt, and pour in the drained chestnuts at the same time.

Cheng Xi picked up the spatula and slowly stir-fried the chestnuts to heat them evenly. It didn't take long for the chestnuts to expand slowly one by one.

Shen Xingqi looked on and exclaimed in surprise, "It's already fragrant!"

The dark red shell and the yellow chestnut meat look very pleasing to the eye. The frequency of stir-frying is increased, and the salt particles sticking to the chestnut shell are slowly detached, and the color is gradually darkening.

Cheng Xi picked up the prepared white sugar and sprinkled it evenly, the sugar was caramelized, and the caramel fragrance immediately overflowed.

"More fragrant!"

The spatula is still stirring quickly, and the spatula is inserted from the bottom of the pot to ensure that the caramel does not stick to the bottom of the pot.

"Okay, let's simmer for a while and eat."

Finally, Cheng Xi covered the pot to ensure that the chestnuts were ripe and let the caramel aroma penetrate into the chestnuts. The aroma in the kitchen floated out with the air, and the whole small courtyard was immediately immersed in a scent of sweetness.

At this time, the roasted chestnuts under the iron stove are almost ready.

Open the valve, sprinkle a layer of sugar on the roasted chestnuts, and then close the valve again.

"Just wait and eat. Find a time to make all the chestnuts, which can be used as snacks at ordinary times."

Cheng Xi spoke normally, but Shen Xingqi couldn't help being speechless.

Chestnuts can fill the stomach, and they are equivalent to food in the eyes of the common people. Even dim sum shops in Fucheng are not cheap. How come they are so casual when they come to her house?

The conditions of their family were not bad before, but they were not so extravagant.

But this feeling is very, satisfying, satisfying!

"Have you done it all?"

Such a bamboo basket can hold a lot.

"If you don't want to keep a few catties, you can add some to change the taste when you cook chicken soup next time."

"."

It's okay, she's worrying too much.

Shen Xingqi figured it out, and listened to her sister-in-law in everything!

The little girl went to the kitchen to prepare food, but Cheng Xi was thinking that if she ran out of chestnuts at home, she would go to pick up some more. She encountered more than one chestnut tree today.

Shennong Mountain has never been short of such things.

***
Whether it is sugar-fried chestnuts or roasted chestnuts, they have all been warmly welcomed.

The chestnuts are shiny, the skin is crisp and easy to peel, sweet and delicious, which perfectly captured the Shen brothers and sisters.

The small farmyard was full of banana fragrance for several days in a row, and the three of them repeated the same actions every day, eating—shoveling snow—roasting chestnuts—eating, endless loop.

Life is beyond description.

However, the rest of Shenjia Village were not in such a good mood, and became more and more anxious as time went by.

"When will this snow stop? It has been falling for five days and five nights!"

"It doesn't look like it's about to stop, the food at home has eaten most of it, alas~"

"My family's food is okay. I bought a lot with the sixth uncle a few days ago, but there is not enough firewood."

"Who would have thought that it would be impossible to get out now?"

"Even if there is a mountain of wood behind the village, there must be time to chop it!"

Yes, it is difficult to go out.

Many people's yards in the village have accumulated thick snow, and even a hard layer of ice appeared underneath, and those who didn't have time to clean it could fall down in their own yards.

Everyone hid at home and worried about their hearts, even the women who usually rush through the door stayed at home obediently.

On the northernmost side of Shenjia Village, Cheng Xi wrapped herself into a ball and pushed open the gate of the small courtyard again.

Shen Xingqi stood behind her, showing worry.

"Sister-in-law, are you really going to the city?"

"Don't worry, it'll be alright."

"Our family still has a lot to eat."

"I'm going to buy salt and inquire about grain prices by the way, and I'll be back soon."

Cheng Xi couldn't bear the worried eyes of his sister-in-law, so he threw a distress signal behind him.

"Husband, do you think so?"

Shen Xingluo nodded, "Your sister-in-law still has to go to the post station, and the letter from the escort agency has probably arrived."

The matter of the Cheng family's father is a big deal.

The little girl had no choice but to watch Cheng Xi go further and further away, and only then did she have new doubts when she saw that figure gradually disappearing.

"We have salt in our kitchen, why does my sister-in-law go to buy it?"

"."

Shen Xingluo was also wondering about this question.

In recent days, the plane shop in the system has been gradually on the right track, and the trade with the orc plane has changed from salt to other necessities.

It stands to reason that there is no shortage of salt in the house.

Could it be that she has other uses?
At this time, Cheng Xi, who was missed by others, had already left the village, and encountered several bloated shadows one after another.

Let alone recognizing who is who at a glance, it is not easy to see a figure moving with difficulty.

The snow covered the sky, accompanied by the cold wind like a knife from time to time. Normal people used all their strength to open their eyes, trying to see the road under their feet clearly.

——Actually, because the snow was too thick, I couldn’t see the original path clearly.

Pedestrians could only rely on their previous experience of going to Fucheng to step out one by one abruptly.

However, these normal people do not include Cheng Xi.
