Chapter 14 Crispy and Sweet Chestnut Cake
The people in the queue and the elders slipped away, and the people in the queue at the back were still looking forward anxiously.

"I haven't bought it yet, why is it gone?"

"That's right, we've been queuing for half a day, and the people in front have all bought it, so we're empty-handed."

Many people complained that they have been waiting in line for a long time, but they have not bought anything, how can they not be angry?
Those who lined up were not reconciled to it.

There were still some chestnuts left in the bamboo basket, which were not enough to sell, so Ruan Qing decided to divide the chestnuts in the basket into two or three.

They didn't buy chestnuts, but they got two or three chestnuts for nothing, and they were happy.

Each of these chestnuts is the size of an egg. It’s better than nothing, not to mention it’s free!
"Auntie, we've sold out all the chestnuts! We're great!" Lele stepped on the spot, stepping on her calf and waving her little hands.

"Lele is awesome. Thanks to Lele, our chestnuts are sold out today." Ruan Qing patted his head.

Huang's mother dared to go over when she saw that everyone had dispersed. She had never experienced the hot scene just now, and she waited for a long time before she came back to her senses.

Are chestnuts so popular this year?Don't sell it cheaply for your daughter.

What's ten yuan and three catties, three catties and ten yuan, it's not worth the money.

But seeing her grandson and two daughters smiling so happily, Huang's mother didn't ask what was in her heart, no matter how much he sold, it's better than having no money!
"Auntie, how much money have we made, Auntie?" Lele looked at her with wide eyes.

"Let my aunt take a look, sister, there is still a stack of cash here, you can count the bits and pieces."

Ruan Taoyuan held them in his hand and counted them one by one, "It's more than 500 yuan here."

They brought about two hundred catties of chestnuts just now, that's 3000 yuan.

"We made a total of 3000 yuan today!" Ruan Qing didn't expect that such a small chestnut could make so much money, and it was zero-cost income.

"Mom, you're back, just in time, hand it over to the state treasury." Ruan Qing said cheerfully.

"You have to hand it in, don't waste it in your hands, give it to me." Mother Huang took the cash, counted out two, and gave it to Lele.

"My eldest grandson is amazing. This is your salary today."

"Mama, I have a salary, and my grandma has paid me a salary." Lele held two five-dollar bills in his hand. He has no idea about money now, he only knows that money can buy food!
Can buy lollipops, Ultraman's card!

"Okay, take the money away, don't lose it, this is your money, you can give it to Mama for safekeeping, or you can keep it yourself."

"Then can I buy toys? I want to buy balloons."

"I'll take you to buy it later. Be good." Ruan Taoyuan patted his son's head.

"My dear Ma Ma, I don't have a salary, and I work very hard. I have to drive and sell goods." Ruan Qing called out pitifully, don't be too wronged.

"Here, this is for you. Everyone has a share. I am the most just."

I saw Mother Huang's hand sliding from one hundred to fifty, and then from fifty to twenty, and her fingertips finally stopped on two five pieces.

"I won't favor one another, everyone is equal. Lele ten yuan, you ten yuan, I will give your sister's, Lele, your mother will keep it for you."

Ruan Qing twitched her lips, saying that ten yuan is not enough to pay for gas, and there is no way to top up the 98.

On the way back, Lele held the balloon of Peppa Pig in her hand, stood between the front row and the back seat, and watched Ruan Qing drive.

"I didn't expect chestnuts to be so easy to sell today, old Ruan, we sold chestnuts for 3000 yuan today." Mother Huang said as she took out her mobile phone and showed old man Ruan Qing the money that Ruan Qing had transferred to her.

"It's just a novelty. When the chestnuts come out, they won't be able to sell at such a high price."

"Then I don't care. I'll sell as much as I can these days. The chestnuts picked up for nothing don't sell for money. I'm confused." There was a hint of arrogance in Huang's mother's tone, and she didn't agree with Ruan's father's words.

Huang's mother is now very rare of the chestnuts in the back mountain, and she can't wait to fly back to the back mountain to pick up chestnuts.

Then I thought of those big guys who came down from the forest at noon, their faces were stained with sadness, if I knew it, I would have picked up more!

This business has not yet started, so there is no more content.

Suddenly, Mother Huang leaned forward, "Girl, can't you communicate with little things? See if you can let them pick up chestnuts for us."

How can Ruan Qing not understand now, the old lady is afraid of those big guys, and she can't bear to bear those chestnuts in the forest.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to send it down, but you can ask them what's going on in the mountains, and let them give us a lookout."

"That's right! Why didn't I think of this, then you can ask them when you go back."

This matter seems to have been fooled like this. Since the old lady didn't say anything, why did she talk so much.

……

Uncle Tong, who was carrying twenty catties of chestnuts, went back to his workshop, put on an apron, and peeled the chestnuts.

Just after taking off the chestnut shell, a strong chestnut smell filled the nose.

"The chestnuts I bought today taste so good. I can smell chestnuts before I even eat them." The old man said to himself.

It is also strange to peel off the chestnut's shell to reveal the chestnut wrapped in a furry coat. The coat falls off with a light touch, unlike those sold in the market.

The chestnuts I bought in the past had to be rolled in hot water first to warm up before peeling off the skin.

After a while, all the plump and round chestnuts appeared on the white plate, which was gratifying to look at.

There is really no bad result, this little boss really didn't lie to him, an old man.

Uncle Tong has decades of experience in making pastries, and his favorite is chestnut cake.

Chestnut puree has a delicate and smooth taste, and it also strengthens the spleen and stomach. It is most suitable for people of their age.

"Sure enough, there is a reason why you are expensive."

"There is no reason why you are expensive." Uncle Tong's wife, Zhao Yunhua, came back from outside with a vegetable basket in her hand. She had just returned from her son's place.

After sending off the grandson every day, I come over to help my old man.

"I bought some chestnuts, which smell delicious. Don't you like chestnut crisps the most? Eat a few more later."

This old man, can't you buy chestnuts everywhere? As for the rarity, he still talks about it.

Zhao Yunhua didn't take it to heart, but when the chestnut crisps were put into the oven and baked at high temperature, the bursts of aroma came out from the cracks in the oven and went straight into your nose.

Zhao Yunhua didn't care about cleaning anymore, so she stuck to the oven, guarding the chestnut crisps inside, and never left.

Until the sound of "ding" came to mind, Zhao Yunhua couldn't wait to call the old man, "Old Tong, Old Tong, come in quickly."

After making the chestnut crisps, Uncle Tong went to the back kitchen to work on other ingredients. The operation room and the baking room are separated.

"What's the matter, what's the matter." As soon as the door was opened, hey, the room smelled of chestnuts, with a hint of sweetness.

This is not all the taste of desserts, it is the unique sweetness of chestnuts, domineeringly occupying the whole room, and then, chestnut crisps were brought out.

The old couple kept swallowing their throats as if they had never eaten, "It's hot, it's hot, don't touch it directly."

Old Tong told his wife, "It's hot, it's hot, it's so hot, but it's so fragrant, so pink, and so sweet."

"It's so sweet? It shouldn't be. I specially made the sugar-free version for you." My wife has diabetes, so he can't eat sugary things. He is very careful.

"Try it yourself, I haven't tasted such a delicious chestnut cake for a long time."

Layers of puff pastry, crispy and slag-like, and the dense chestnut puree inside is steaming hot white.

Tempts one's taste buds.
