After wearing the book, I became the first wife of a treacherous official who died early

Chapter 12 Making Candied Chestnuts
Jiang Jiu had a big mouthful of rice in his mouth, and before he could chew a few times, Song Yuanming handed him a handkerchief.

Accidentally swallowed all the food in his mouth, stuck it in his throat, and choked.

Song Xinru hurriedly went to the kitchen and poured a bowl of water for Jiang Jiu, saying, "Second sister-in-law, let's go, don't worry, eat slowly."

Jiang Jiu took the bowl and took a big sip, which made her feel better.

Glancing at the white handkerchief in front of him, Jiang Jiu: "..." Ganqing's previous words were for himself.

Jiang Jiu also understood in his heart that it wasn't that Song Yuanming had something for him, but that he simply couldn't stand it.

That's right, like Song Yuanming, who even made the bed sheets without a trace of wrinkles, it's normal to be a bit cleanliness.

In fact, although her food appearance is not as good as that of Song Yuanming, it is not bad.

It was probably because he had lived in Bigu for hundreds of years in the cultivation world, and he ate vegetarian dishes these days without any oil or water, so he behaved a little rudely.

Just thinking of Song Yuanming standing behind him with a pair of scissors like a ghost that night, Jiang Jiu rushed to him for no reason, and was afraid.

Handing back the handkerchief again, Jiang Jiu tugged at her lips, showing a smirk that she thought was standard: "No need, I'll just wash it later."

Song Yuanming saw Jiang Jiu handing back the handkerchief again with oily hands, frowning tightly, and said: "You guys eat." After speaking, he took the handkerchief and scooped up a ladle of water to wash it off. up.

Jiang Jiu: "..."

-

Today's meal was the most satisfying meal Jiang Jiu had in this world. After several people finished eating, Song Yuanming went to Nanshan Academy as usual, and Jiang Jiu helped Song Xinru clean up.

After tidying up, there were still some unpeeled chestnuts left. Jiang Jiu cleaned them, and used a small knife to cut horizontally and vertically on the chestnut skin to form a cross.

Song Xinru originally planned to take advantage of the lunch break to get the insoles, but saw Jiang Jiu busy in the kitchen after washing the dishes.

She walked over and saw Jiang Jiu making a cross on Chestnut.

Song Xinru thought that the unpeeled Jiang Jiu would stay and eat raw, after all, the storage time was longer.

Jiang Jiu looked up and saw Song Xinru coming, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that you are here, I was still wondering if you have any honey at home, I forgot to buy it, and my son remembered it later."

"Honey doesn't have any at home. There was some brown sugar left over during the Chinese New Year last time. I don't know if it's okay."

The brown sugar at home is usually put in Song's mother's room, not in the cupboard, for fear that the children will be greedy if they can't control their mouths.

Honey and brown sugar are actually similar, they are both sweet anyway, but brown sugar takes a little longer to cook than honey, Jiang Jiu thought about it and said, "That's fine."

Song Xinru took out the brown sugar, put it on the stove, glanced at Jiang Jiu and asked, "Second sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"Of course it's stir-frying chestnuts with sugar!" Jiang Jiu took out a chestnut that had already been cut into a cross, and shook it in front of Song Xinru, "It will be more delicious when it's fried later."

Song Xinru saw that the intuition was very novel, and said: "I saw this before when I was in the capital, but I don't know how to make this sugar-fried chestnut. I used to use a knife to scratch it a few times."

"This is just the first step, and I will need your help when the time comes." Since picking up chestnuts on the mountain, Jiang Jiu has been thinking about how to eat them.

However, Jiang Jiu belongs to the kind who loves to eat but is handicapped. In modern times, she bought several cookbooks by herself and tried to make them at home.

But she always has a bad grasp of the heat, and the chestnuts that are fried are either raw or burnt.

Hearing what Jiang Jiu said, Song Xinru also went to help, and the two of them had four hands, and it didn't take much effort to cut the remaining chestnuts into crosses.

After that, boil a pot of hot water first, put the chestnuts into the water, and it won’t take too long. You only need to remove the jerky smell on the surface of the chestnuts and you can pick them up.

There is only this one at home, so I can only pour out the water in the original pot that soaked the chestnuts, add a little water, add chestnuts and brown sugar, and slowly boil it into a sticky shape.

Finally, dig a small spoonful of lard that has condensed into a solid in the morning and put it in, and stir-fry continuously until the chestnuts are golden in appearance.

Jiang Jiu called Xiaobao who was playing in the yard over, peeled a chestnut and handed it to him: "Be careful of burning it."

"I know, I still have to blow it." Xiaobao took the chestnut and put it near his mouth and blew it, and then put it in his mouth when it was no longer hot.

Seeing that Xiao Bao was eating but not talking, Jiang Jiu was a little worried that he would fail again, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Xiao Bao didn't know how to describe it at this time, it was sweet in the mouth, and it tasted rusty. Jiang Jiu put more brown sugar, which better locked in the original taste of sugar-fried chestnuts.

"Second sister-in-law, can Xiaobao have another one?" As soon as the chestnut was eaten, Xiaobao regretted it, it was so delicious, if he knew it, he would not eat it so fast.

"There are still more." Jiang Jiu shoveled a few shovels from the pot and put them in a porcelain bowl, "Take it and give it to your fourth brother."

"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law is the best." Xiaobao ran out quickly holding the porcelain bowl that Jiang Jiu handed him.

"Xinru, come and eat too." Jiang Jiu scooped out all the rest with a shovel and put it aside to cool.

"Second sister-in-law, let's leave this snack for the two children at home. I'm already this old, so I don't need it." Song Xinru saw that Jiang Jiu was willing to give her some, and quickly declined.

Jiang Jiu half-jokingly said: "According to what you said, I, as the second wife, can't even eat it."

"Second sister-in-law, that's not what I meant. You discovered the chestnuts, second sister-in-law. Of course you can eat them. I just, I just want to say..."

"I'm just kidding, take it and eat it." Jiang Jiu grabbed a handful of chestnuts that were not too hot and stuffed them to Song Xinru, "It's thanks to your help, otherwise with my skill, I'm afraid it will burn again."

Jiang Jiu naturally knew that what Song Xinru wanted to convey was not what she meant. This girl usually saves money on food and expenses, and would rather save it by herself than take care of her family.

Although Song Xinru used to be a rich lady, but since her home was confiscated, she has been poor and white, living in this small place, and has suffered a lot.

Jiang Jiu pretended to be angry and said: "If you don't eat, you will disappoint my whole heart, and I will be angry."

Song Xinru knew that Jiang Jiu was thinking of herself, so she peeled off one and ate one, and her eyes became red after eating.

"Hey, why are you crying? If your second brother sees it when he comes back, he might say that I bullied you, so hurry up and wipe it off."

Jiang Jiu wanted to take out a handkerchief, but he wasn't a clean freak, so he wouldn't wear such a thing.

"Second sister-in-law, you are so kind." Song Xinru looked at Jiang Jiu and said seriously.

Jiang Jiu was stunned when he heard this, and when he realized it, he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

Well, sure enough, it's not a family, and if you don't enter a family, everyone likes to send themselves a good person card.
