Chapter 20 Entering the City
After a few minutes, the chestnuts slowly puffed up, and Shen Sisi hurriedly increased the frequency of stir-frying. The salt grains that had previously stuck to the chestnut shells gradually fell off, and the color of the salt gradually deepened. At this time, she evenly added sugar again...
The three brothers were speechless at this point, in their concept, they had never thought that chestnuts could be stir-fried like this, especially with so much salt and sugar added. Usually, villagers just boiled them a bit before eating, without using any oil, salt or sugar.
How can you digest food by eating like this?!
Dabao hesitated and said: "Tuniu, where did your sugar come from?!"
Sugar is rarely seen, but they still know it. When the village women sit for a month after giving birth, richer families will also buy sugar back to supplement the postpartum women, who have drooled at the thought of it.
"There's still so much salt..." Er Bao also hesitated to speak, he was worried that Tuniang would waste all the salt at home, salt was quite expensive, so he was very anxious.
San Bao didn't think that much, at this time the chestnuts had already started to give off a fragrant smell, his eyes shone brightly as he stared at the smoke and chestnuts in the pot, saliva flowing, nose twitching.
Shen Si didn't have time to bother with them, after adding sugar, the salt grains started to stick together and gradually turned black, the aroma suddenly filled the air. She dared not be careless, constantly stirring quickly, and using a spatula to scoop from the bottom of the pot to prevent the caramel from sticking. When the salt grains no longer stuck together, she let Da Bao stop the fire, and only when the chestnuts cooled down did she serve them up...
Shen Sisi peeled one open, the shell came off easily, and the taste was still passable, after all it was the first time... The technique was limited, but this flavor was actually not bad, only that she couldn't bear to use oil, if there was oil, it would be even more fragrant.
She furrowed her brow and let out a heavy sigh at the thought of oil again.
San Bao stared at the chestnut in her mouth and wouldn't let go, Shen Sisi grabbed a handful for him and said: "Eat it and see, after you finish eating, we'll sell it in the city."
"Ah?!" Da Bao and Er Bao stared at her in surprise.
"Are you kidding me? I'd give away salt and sugar for free?! Idiot, hurry up, it's going to get dark soon..."
"Will it sell?! Big Treasure ate one and his eyes lit up, muttering: "It's delicious, but using so much salt and sugar to stir-fry chestnuts is such a waste... Hmm, but it's really delicious..."
The second treasure grabbed a big handful, Shen Sisi patted it and said: "Don't eat too much, we have to sell it, the sooner we sell it out and exchange for money, the sooner we can buy some meat back to eat..."
The three brothers immediately stared at her with shining eyes, as if they were looking at a plump and tender piece of meat.
Deep in thought, she was speechless, but as soon as she heard about meat, her eyes lit up, and compared to them, she wasn't much better.
As soon as they heard about meat, the three brothers' motivation came, and they didn't care how much they could sell. With full momentum, they followed Shen Sisi with chestnuts into the city.
Dabao was still very nervous, "Tuni, it's already past noon, are there still people rushing to the market in the city?!"
"Silly, we're not going to the town, but to the largest county city. Even after noon, there are still people coming out to buy vegetables..." Shen Sisi said with a smile, she had inquired about it, the market in the town was only in the morning, and after noon, there would be no one, but the county city was different, where the rich were many, and even those with average living conditions could afford it, they wouldn't be stingy about spending a few dollars to buy chestnuts.
Having made up their minds, the four of them set off with a determined air.
