Seeing Gu Huai staring at the rice, Xie Yunjiao thought something was wrong.

As a result, Gu Huai suddenly praised her for buying a good thing, saying that this way she could preserve it for a longer time without having to worry about it getting infested with insects.

One hundred kilograms of paddy can produce about seventy kilograms of rice, but the price is half the price.

Xie Yunjiao shamelessly bargained with the shopkeeper for a long time for the rice, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to buy a hundred kilograms of rice at such a cheap price.

Anyway, she felt she had made a profit!

It's just a bit troublesome, and the rice needs to be milled, which is also an expense.

"I seem to remember there's a rice mill in the village?" Xie Yunjiao

"Yes, at the entrance of the village, but I don't know the exact price per pound." Gu Huai said.

"It's okay, I'll ask later."

When Xie Yunjiao entered the kitchen, she saw a lot of chestnuts piled inside. They must have been picked up by Gu Huai today.

"I picked up everything I could. There are still some left on the tree, but it's too high. My leg..." Gu Huai's eyes darkened. He didn't know when his leg would heal, which prevented him from doing many things.

"It's okay, these are enough to sell for a few days."

In fact, she did not intend to make money by selling chestnuts all the time. After all, chestnuts are a seasonal food and will be gone after the season.

Moreover, sugar-roasted chestnuts are not a top-secret technique. As long as someone is willing to study it slowly, they can master it quickly.

She was just the first person to try something new and made the chestnuts, which everyone thought were difficult to deal with and unpalatable, taste good.

Chestnuts are grown in abundance here, and once the villagers find a way to make money, they will surely imitate it quickly, and then it will not be so easy to make money.

Gu Huai came back early and had already cooked porridge in the pot.

He was reluctant to use white rice to cook because it was too wasteful.

It’s better to cook porridge. A few handfuls of rice can make a big pot.

"Mother, you're back."

Doudou had gone out to play somewhere, and his little face was dirty. When he saw her come back, he quickly ran in, threw himself on her, and hugged her legs tightly.

Xie Yunjiao was taking out the sesame cakes she bought from the bamboo basket.

Doudou's nose was like a dog's, and he immediately smelled the fragrance of the sesame cakes: "Mom, what did you buy? It smells so good!"

"Do you have a dog's nose? You can smell the fragrance even through the paper."

Xie Yunjiao opened the paper of the sesame cake, revealing the tempting golden sesame cake inside.

Doudou took a deep breath and his saliva flowed out uncontrollably.

"What is this? It smells so good. Is it a cake?" Doudou swallowed and looked at Xie Yunjiao expectantly.

Xie Yunjiao couldn't help feeling sad. Doudou was so pitiful. He was only four or five years old and didn't even know what a sesame cake was.

"It's a sesame seed cake. It's delicious. Mom will heat it up for you. Eat it with the porridge later. It's so delicious."

"Hmmmm."

Doudou nodded desperately, his saliva dripping all over the floor, almost breaking his toes.

Xie Yunjiao heated the pancakes in the pan, and when they brought them out, they each grabbed one and started eating while it was hot.

The crust of the pancake was crispy and the inside was filled with meat, which was rich and juicy. The three of them ate it until their mouths were full of oil and their faces were full of happiness.

"Mom, this pancake is so delicious. Can you buy me more next time?" Doudou stuck out his tongue and licked the area around his mouth. Feeling unsatisfied, he licked the hand that held the pancake.

If Xie Yunjiao hadn't stopped him, Doudou would have wanted to lick the paper that contained the sesame cake.

"Is it really that delicious? Next time, I'll make you something even better, okay?"

"Okay, okay." Doudou looked at Xie Yunjiao with sparkling eyes, wishing he could eat it right now.

"Is it delicious?" Xie Yunjiao looked at Gu Huai.

"Delicious." Gu Huai nodded. "This sesame cake is not cheap, right?"

"Not bad, just a few cents each."

Xie Yunjiao had never expected that the sesame seed buns that cost only a few cents would be filled with such rich ingredients and so much meat. No wonder they tasted so delicious.

But she has a golden tongue. She can tell the ingredients and seasonings of any food she has eaten, and then she can replicate the same taste, or even make it better.

This pancake looks greasy and tastes delicious, but there is not much meat in it and there are a lot of white radish. It’s just that the vendor handled it well and added a lot of lard, so it tastes so delicious.

But it’s okay to eat one or two, you will get sick of it if you eat too much.

However, this gave her an inspiration. Sometimes the ingredients don’t have to be too real. As long as the taste is good, it will still be unforgettable.

After dinner, Xie Yunjiao went to wash the dishes.

Gu Huai and Dou Dou were not idle either. They squatted on the ground and made the sign of the cross on the chestnut.

Xie Yunjiao felt that squatting was too tiring, and after looking around, she couldn't find even a stool.

"Madam, what are you looking for?" Gu Huai suddenly stopped and looked at Xie Yunjiao.

"There's not even a stool at home. I have to buy one when I go out to sell chestnuts tomorrow," said Xie Yunjiao.

"Buy? No need to buy, Daddy can make it." Doudou said.

"You even know this?" Xie Yunjiao couldn't help but be curious.

"Yes, Daddy can make not only stools, but also many other things. He once made me a piglet, which was very cute." At this point, Doudou's eyes darkened, revealing a sad expression, "Then Zhuangzhuang snatched it away and stepped on it."

Xie Yunjiao felt uncomfortable. Zhuangzhuang was really too much and often bullied Doudou.

The next time I see Zhuangzhuang, I must find a way to teach him a lesson.

"Don't be sad, Doudou. Ask your dad to make you a bigger and cuter animal next time."

"Okay, but I only like pigs," said Doudou.
