At the beginning, the abandoned wife brought two children, and became the richest man by farming and

Yi Ren reckoned that Jinbao would probably come back to the village early in the morning in order to go back and forth that day.

So she got up early, heated up the stewed meat, steamed her face with a big pot of brown rice, and made three kinds of pancakes.

She was taking Xiaotuanzi to water the vegetable field in the yard when Aunt Li came to the door with Jinbao and two children.

"Yi Ren, I heard from my mother that you cooked all the roasted seeds and nuts yesterday?" Jin Bao frowned. "Why didn't you wait for me? You are heavy, and your mother is getting old..."

As Yi Ren expected, Jin Bao came back very early, but it was not for the purpose of going back and forth that day, but because he was worried that his mother and Yi Ren would not be able to do the work of roasting seeds and nuts.

"It's because I didn't consider Auntie's body, and I have to find a way to get the best of both worlds later!" Yi Ren really didn't consider this, and said to Aunt Li apologetically. "Auntie has worked hard!"

"Look at what you said! Which crop farmer in his forties or fifties can't work in the field, it's not as hard as this!" Aunt Li is not polite, because the spring planting and autumn harvest in this crop field are more tiring than roasted seeds and nuts.

Aunt Li gouged Jin Bao out again, and said, "I'm just listening to your nonsense!"

Jin Bao scratched his head, chuckled honestly, and fell silent.

"Brother Jin Bao, I finished everything yesterday, and I also wanted to go to the city with you this morning and meet the manager of your restaurant. What do you think, Brother Jin Bao?" Yi Ren asked
"That's just right, I'm stupid, you go and talk to my master!" Jin Bao readily agreed.

"Cui Xi'er, come!" Aunt Li heard this, and hurriedly reached out her hand to greet the eldest granddaughter. "Go to your grandpa Qing's house and tell him to go out early today. We have goods to fetch, so come to your Aunt Yiren! Come now!"

"Grandma, what should they do!" Cui Xi pointed at the two little guys who were having fun playing in the mud, and she usually took them with them.

"Aunt Yiren came to watch them, Cuixi go, Auntie came back from the county to bring you delicious food!" Yi Ren patted Cuixi's head.She is only seven or eight years old. In modern times, she should be the little princess who is loved by the family. In this era, she can only help the family with work and coax her younger brother. Occasionally, when the little uncle comes back from the county, she can treat her little uncle. Know a few words.

Cuixi happily agreed, last time Aunt Yiren brought them some sweet caramel!He ran to Grandpa Shiqing's house on the handlebar.

The yard of Yiren's house is surrounded by a fence, and there is a wooden door, but it may have been built to save trouble, so the door is very narrow, and ox carts and carriages cannot enter.

So while everyone was talking, they were busy moving the roasted seeds and nuts, pancakes and stewed pork to the doorstep of the house.

"Brother Jinbao, these days my aunt brought the children a lot of vegetables, and I still have a lot of pancakes left over. I thought I'd take them to the restaurant and let them see if they accept it or not!" Yi Ren said to Jin Bao.

Jin Bao frowned again, with a feeling of youth and maturity. "You can bring belts, but the surrounding area of ​​the county is full of farmers, and there are so many mountain goods, I'm afraid they won't be sold!"

"It's okay, I'll just bring some and show it to the restaurant. It's better to buy it. If you don't buy it, I'll bring it back!" Yi Ren was not discouraged, and said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll move it for you!" Jin Bao turned around and followed Yi Ren to the cellar.

The cellar needs to climb a ladder. Considering Yi Ren's double body, he asked Yi Ren to wait on it, and climbed down by himself. According to Yi Ren's description, he found two baskets covered with wet cloth and carried them up.

Uncle Shiqing came when he came out, and he also helped to carry the goods. There were a lot of goods today, and there were Jin Bao and her, so Yiren gave five copper coins.

After a while, we arrived at the restaurant.Before noon, there were very few guests in the building, so Chef Zhang greeted him immediately after hearing his apprentice's greeting.

"Master, this is the neighbor's sister who I told you is the roasted seeds and nuts!" Jin Bao hurriedly introduced. "Yi Ren, this is Chef Zhang! He is in charge of the restaurant! Tell him that it works!"

"Chef Zhang, I often hear Brother Jin Bao mentioning you! I also appreciate your favorite roasted seeds and nuts!" Yi Ren first stepped forward to thank Chef Zhang.

Chef Zhang looked at the woman in front of him, although she was wearing coarse clothes with patches, but not to mention her unusual beauty, she stepped forward to talk to him gracefully, her attitude of being neither humble nor overbearing was really no ordinary woman!There was also a trace of respect in his tone: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be polite, your roasted seeds and nuts are far better than others' in terms of quality and price!"

After being polite, Yi Ren took out the melon seeds, peanuts and golden chestnuts that were fried yesterday.

Chef Zhang grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds, tasted them, and they were all the same quality as yesterday, completely qualified.I also tasted the peanuts, which were also high-quality roasted seeds and nuts, and said they were acceptable.

Picking up a golden chestnut, Chef Zhang felt that it had a faint sweet smell, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and sure enough, this golden chestnut actually had a sweet smell.

"What's the method?" Chef Zhang asked while pinching Jin Li.

"It's the golden chestnut that has caramel added, Chef Zhang try it!" Yi Ren broke open one along the slit of the golden chestnut and handed it to Chef Zhang.

Chef Zhang looked around at the golden chestnut in his hand, smelled it carefully, put it in his mouth, nodded immediately and said, "It's delicious! It tastes sweet like caramel sugar and burnt. This golden chestnut is not boiled." ?”

In this era, golden chestnuts are either eaten raw or boiled in a pot. No one has ever fried golden chestnuts, and naturally Chef Zhang has never eaten them.

"It's stir-fried, and it's also a kind of roasted seeds and nuts!" Yi Ren explained.

Chef Zhang couldn't help but stretched out his hand to break open another one and stuffed it into his mouth. "Soft and glutinous with sand, it has the sweetness of golden chestnut itself, the sweetness of caramel sugar, and the burnt aroma of frying, the outer skin is oily, and the inner flesh is golden yellow. It looks and smells appetizing! Not bad! Not bad!"

Chef Zhang has been a restaurant chef for 20 years. He has cooked dishes and made noodles. Now he specializes in making noodles. He has an obsession with food that ordinary people cannot understand.At this time, eating this fried golden chestnut, it was so delicious that I squinted my eyes, smiled at the corner of my mouth, and indulged in the world of golden chestnut.

"Chef Zhang, keep all these?" Although Yi Ren couldn't bear to interrupt his intoxication, he still couldn't help asking tentatively.She has to go to the pier to sell cakes, and the time is running out!
"Keep it! Keep it all!" Chef Zhang yelled towards the counter. "Career, come!"

"Sister-in-law, the melon seeds cost seven cents a catty. How do you sell your peanuts and golden chestnuts?"

"Peanuts are more expensive. Roasted seeds and nuts of this quality cost eighteen cents, but I only need nine cents a catty." Yiren said while looking at Chef Zhang, seeing him nodding his head in agreement, before continuing. "Golden chestnut itself is not worth much, but it is troublesome to deal with, and it needs to be filled with caramel, so it is only seven cents!"

"Accounter, did you hear that? Fifty catties of melon seeds, one catty of peanuts, two catties of golden chestnuts, settle the accounts!" Chef Zhang said to the accountant without any hesitation.

"370 Sanwen!" The accountant quickly settled the account, found the money and handed it to Yiren.

"Not busy. Not busy!" Yi Ren picked up the two baskets covered with wet cloth. "Chef Zhang, I still want to ask, does our restaurant accept mountain goods?"

"It's a collection, but we have suppliers!" Chef Zhang said sincerely after he had just concluded a deal with Yiren, and it is very likely that they will have a long-term cooperation in the future.

"Chef Zhang, take a look at the goods first before talking!"
