The splendid business map of the peasant girl

Chapter 8
Mo Zhichu, who was wearing a coarse cloth and Tsing Yi, was slowly walking into the room, leaning on a wooden stick that had been whittled into a cane. Behind him was Dong Chenghuan with an impatient face.

"Are you back? Hurry up and enter the house." Mo Guangfu couldn't help but sighed when he glanced at Dong Chenghuan who had no intention of stepping up to the eaves behind him. at the beginning.

"Brother, sister-in-law." Mo Shiyao had just walked into the kitchen and looked at the pitch-black earth stove and didn't know what to do, when Mo Zhichu's voice came from outside, and he turned and left the kitchen immediately.It's not that she wants to see her "brother" so much, but that if she continues to stand in this dilapidated kitchen, she will definitely not be able to get off the stage!

Seeing Mo Shiyao standing aside, and thinking that she still didn't plan to go back to help Mrs. Liu, Dong Chenghuan couldn't help but feel unhappy, and his still immature face turned cold a few degrees.

"Yaoyao, are you back?" Mo Zhichu didn't seem to feel the emotions of the people behind him, and smiled faintly at the end of the world, with a little smile on his sharp-edged face.

In Mo Shiyao's impression, this elder brother has always had a calm demeanor. Not only did years of leg disease not make him feel decadent, but with the accumulation of years, his temperament became more and more flat.The corners of the parted mouth of the person in front of him glowed a little softly, his facial features were regular and symmetrical, and the clean blue cloth clothes seemed to fit him very well.

After shaking his mind, Doomsday Yao couldn't help but look away.The deep eyes that inadvertently leaked out were the most unique ones she had seen since coming here.Such a unique person, why is he lame in one leg?Sighing slightly in my heart, I just said: "Well, brother, why did you come back so early? Your legs are inconvenient. After walking such a long way, sit down and have a rest." On the stool, he raised his eyes to look at Dong Chenghuan, whose face was not showing any joy.

"Sister-in-law, sit down too. I'll go to the kitchen and make some lunch."

"Sit down and I'll go, so I won't overwhelm you!" With a soft snort, although Dong Chenghuan didn't give her a good face because of her politeness, the temper that was suppressed in his heart couldn't be relapsed, and he Putting the bamboo basket in the crook of his arm on the table, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.

She raised her eyebrows secretly, Doomsday Yao wisely didn't say much, God knows what would happen if she was really allowed to go?It's not shameful to let this sister-in-law and sister-in-law take advantage of her tongue for a while.

After the seemingly harmonious family had lunch, Doomsday Yao left Mo's house on the grounds that it was getting late.

Stepping into Uncle Chen's yard again, Uncle Chen was sitting in the main room drinking a bowl of sweet potato soup. When he saw her enter the door, he quickly put down the dark sand bowl and got up to say hello.

"Yaoyao is here, have you eaten yet?"

"Uncle Chen, I just ate it. I came to see brother Dacheng's injury. When I got back in the afternoon, I went up the mountain to help him gather medicine." In one sentence, he explained his purpose of coming, and Mo Shiyao directly opened the straw mat curtain and walked into the next room.

"Yaoyao, why are you here?" Chen Dacheng was half-sitting on the kang, holding a big black sand bowl in his hand, and turned his head to look at the rumor of the end of the world.

"Brother Dacheng, is the injury on your leg okay? It may hurt a little at first, just bear with it, and it will be much better in two days. Also, try not to touch the water, so that it will heal quickly." Walked over to have a look The immobilized left leg found that there was nothing wrong, so he began to give orders softly.

Unknowingly staring at the doomsday rumor with a soft face, Chen Dacheng didn't come back to his senses for a moment.Why didn't I realize that the girls from the Mo family were so pretty?Even though she had such a lukewarm temperament before, the feeling is quite different!
"Brother Dacheng?" After waiting for the latter's reply for a long time, Mo Shiyao couldn't help but look up at the silent Chen Dacheng, with a slightly puzzled tone.

"Huh? Oh! Got it, well, sister Yao is here, why don't you just have a bowl of soup?" Chen Dacheng hurriedly nodded and answered casually when he caught the eyes of Doomsday Yao.

"Dacheng is right. These are sweet potatoes just picked out from the cave. I took advantage of the pot of hot soup to make Yaoyao drink a bowl, shall I?" Uncle Chen's voice sounded from the door of the house right afterward. , walked in with a bowl of soup, and said with a simple and honest smile.

Originally intending to refuse, seeing that the bowl had arrived in front of him, Doomsday Yao was no longer polite, and reached out to take Uncle Chen's bowl: "Thank you Uncle Chen, then I will try it!"

"Hey! If I knew Yaoyao was coming, I would have added some chestnuts. It might be a good idea to boil chestnuts and sweet potatoes together!" Uncle Chen casually said as he handed over the sand bowl in his hand.

Chestnuts cooked with sweet potatoes?The latter suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Sweet potatoes are sweet, and they are cooked with chestnuts...

This reminded her of fried chestnuts in sugar that tasted sweet and powdery!

There are a lot of wild chestnuts on the deep mountain behind the village. This time is just the season when chestnuts are ripe, and every household takes advantage of this time to go up the mountain to pick up the chestnuts that fall on the ground, and some people climb the chestnut tree with wooden ladders. Beaten with a stick.But if you take it home, it can be stored for a longer period of time by drying it or burying it under the soil, and it can even be stored in winter if it is well preserved, but I have never heard of anyone making sugar-fried chestnuts.

Because the white sugar in this time and space is also very precious, if it is not a wealthy family, there is no such thing. It seems that her wish to use sugar-fried chestnuts to make a small fortune seems difficult to realize, but it is It's not like there's no way...

"Uncle Chen, do you know where there are beehives on this mountain?" Without hesitation, Doomsday Yao knocked on the mouth of the bowl in his hand, his eyes full of smiles.

"Honeycombs? I'm afraid they can only be found in the soil or on big trees. Why do you girl suddenly ask about this?" Hearing this, Uncle Chen looked at Doomsday Yao who was smiling happily. , most people wish they could never see a beehive for the rest of their lives, so why would they ask this?You must know that it is not ambiguous at all to sting people!Some people in the village were stung in the past two years, but they lost their lives if they were not rescued!

"Uncle Chen, if these chestnuts are fried in a pot, they will be very good, right?"

"That's true. It's just that it's a waste of firewood to fry this thing, so it's rarely fried. But, why does this have something to do with honeycomb?" Still confused.

"Well, I was thinking, if I can get some honey and fry it with chestnuts, and then sell it in the town, many people will like it!" Without intending to keep his thoughts secret, Doomsday Yao said very simply .

"Your idea is not bad, it's just that where do we get this honey? Besides, it's too wasteful to use the honey to fry chestnuts. It's better to sell the honey directly." After pondering for a while, Uncle Chen thought carefully After considering the relationship, I still feel that this method is not very wise.

"Uncle Chen is right. This honey is probably more precious. Why don't we just get some honey and sell it, then exchange it for some coarse sugar and fry it back. In this way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" Putting the bowl on the table, Doomsday Yao looked at Uncle Chen with a smile.
