Chapter 230 You're Right
Luo Shiliu was flattered and overwhelmed.
Those are chestnuts he roasted, chestnuts he roasted!
Bai Lu was holding the chestnuts he roasted, Xiao Cheng was eating the chestnuts he roasted, and he even roasted desserts!
The clearest memory Luo Shiliu has is of the five of them buying ice cream for the first time after finishing their business.
No, it was five people who went. Four of them ordered ice cream: him, Wang Hao, Xiao Dazhuang, and Xiao Zhongbiao.
Xiao Cheng only asked for a bottle of mineral water.
Luo Shiliu thought Xiao Cheng had forgotten his ice cream, so he got him one. Xiao Cheng then said…
"Get lost!"
What a painful realization!
Luo Shiliu still remembers it to this day.
Last time it was Xiao Cheng's birthday, Bai Lu made him his first birthday cake by herself. Needless to say, it was a token of her affection, and Xiao Cheng definitely had to eat it, no matter how sweet it was.
They would eat it too.
But this time, the roasted chestnuts weren't made by Bailu herself, nor were they roasted by her!
Not only Luo Shiliu was dumbfounded, but Wang Hao, Xiao Dazhuang, and Xiao Zhenwei were also dumbfounded at the same time.
"How does it taste?" Bai Lu asked Xiao Cheng while picking up a chestnut roasted by Luo Shiliu and peeling it.
Xiao Cheng glanced at Luo Shiliu's unusually tense gaze, and slowly gave a two-word evaluation.
"good."
Is "okay" a passing grade or a failing grade?
Luo Shiliu strongly suspected that Xiao Cheng was deliberately whetting his appetite, claiming that he had accidentally put too much sugar in.
Judging from the frown on Xiao Cheng's face as he ate chestnuts, it was clear that he had definitely taken revenge for the "sugar."
Luo Shiliu decisively turned his gaze to Bai Lu.
Sure enough, Bai Lu didn't keep him in suspense. With a chestnut still in her mouth, she gave him a thumbs up and said the two most beautiful words—"Qualified."
Luo Shiliu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and gave Xiao Zhenwei his first smile.
"Tsk—you simple-minded, muscle-bound poor thing, did you see my results? The first time I failed, the second time I succeeded, and the third time I'll be able to teach a fool like you the most authentic sugar-roasted chestnuts!"
This was the most offensive, most infuriating, and most likely to make Xiao Zhenwei want to punch someone he had ever heard, and the kind of sarcasm he wished he would just disappear on the spot.
This strengthened his resolve to buy an electric chestnut roasting machine; even if he couldn't buy one, he had to get one.
"Sister-in-law, quickly try my roasted chestnuts." Wang Hao couldn't wait. He wasn't expecting Xiao Cheng to eat his roasted chestnuts; Xiao Cheng definitely wouldn't eat them. The most important thing was Bai Lu.
Sugar-roasted chestnuts were invented during the White Dew season, and White Dew's affirmation is the most authentic and traditional affirmation.
Xiao Dazhuang was also extremely nervous, waiting for Bai Lu's approval. As long as Bai Lu said he was qualified, he could officially start teaching classes and make big money with his older brother and sister-in-law!
As before, Bai Lu took two roasted chestnuts, giving one to Xiao Cheng and eating the other herself.
The chestnuts being reviewed now are those roasted by Wang Hao.
It has a bright color, a plump shape, and a sweet, caramelized aroma. Try to crack the shell open, but the shell won't budge!
Bai Lu tried to crack the chestnut shell five times but couldn't. Then, she applied force with her fingertips, and the hard shell cracked instantly.
The flesh is plump and soft, with a harmonious blend of light, caramelized, and sweet aromas, resulting in a refreshing, sweet, and delicious taste.
Bai Lu glanced at Xiao Cheng subconsciously. The chestnut in Xiao Cheng's hand remained untouched, as if he had no intention of eating it.
"Won't you try some?"
Xiao Cheng looked at Bai Lu and said seriously, "Your standard is the most correct standard."
"Then help me open it up." Bai Lu made her request decisively, and then stared at Xiao Cheng's hand.
Xiao Cheng pinched it, but couldn't open it. He looked up at Bai Lu and seemed to understand something.
With a flick of his fingertips, the chestnut shell cracked open instantly, revealing the golden flesh inside.
Bai Lu took the chestnuts, tasted them, looked at the extremely nervous Wang Hao, gave him a thumbs up and said, "The taste is acceptable, but the stir-frying time is a bit short. The chestnut shells are hard to crack, which can easily affect customers' mood and dampen their appetite. Next time, you can stir-fry them for ten more minutes, or taste them yourself while stir-frying. If you can easily crack them open, that's fine."
Wang Hao nodded in understanding, his heart filled with mixed emotions, and sincerely thanked her, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
He turned around and met Xiao Zhenwei, who had been caught peeking, with a smug and triumphant smile on his face.
"The chestnuts are all burnt, and you still have the nerve to look at them! If I were to teach you how to roast chestnuts today, I'd make you eat this pile of charcoal! I've seen plenty of people, but I've never seen anyone as useless as you. You can't even roast a chestnut properly without breaking the spatula. You might as well go back to the countryside and pick up cow dung!"
Xiao Zhenwei: "..."
Bai Lu looked at Xiao Zhenwei, whose face was flushed with anger, and couldn't help but chuckle as she moved closer to Xiao Cheng, whispering in his ear, "Is Wang Hao always this good at roasting people?"
Although Xiao Cheng had seen it in his memory, it was not as joyful as witnessing it firsthand.
It felt as if a small brush was gently brushing against Xiao Cheng's ear. She smiled, and the brush brushed against him again, making his calm voice sound exceptionally deep: "When I'm excited."
Has he ever talked to you like that?
"He wouldn't dare."
"I still respect you."
"good."
What does "it's alright" mean?
"you're right."
Seeing that Bai Lu was so engrossed in Xiao Cheng's pursuit that she forgot to review the documents, Xiao Dazhuang couldn't help but speak up: "Sister-in-law."
Bai Lu looked up at the sound and saw the honest man with a wronged expression. She cleared her throat and said, "I'll look right away."
Xiao Cheng was given another roasted chestnut.
This time, instead of holding it still, he and Bailu pinched it open at the same time, glanced at the fruit, and then returned it to Bailu.
After eating two roasted chestnuts, Bai Lu felt a lingering fragrance in her mouth and gave Xiao Dazhuang a thumbs up to show her approval: "Good. Next time, you can add more sugar syrup and stir-fry it a couple more times, and it will taste even better and more fragrant."
Xiao Dazhuang did indeed add less syrup twice because, "Maltose is a bit expensive."
Bai Lu smiled and said, "You only get what you pay for. By sacrificing the small for the big, the road ahead will be wider and smoother."
Xiao Dazhuang liked listening to Bai Lu's teachings and nodded vigorously: "Sister-in-law is right, I will listen to sister-in-law."
After saying that, he didn't forget to encourage Xiao Zhenwei: "Although I am smarter than you, more capable than you, and I learned how to roast chestnuts faster than you, I know better how to control the heat, and my chestnuts are more authentic than yours, you will definitely be able to learn how to roast chestnuts."
"Although you're not very smart, unlike us who can succeed after three tries, my sister-in-law says that diligence can make up for lack of talent. Just practice a few more times and you'll get it. If you still can't get it, practice dozens more times, and you'll definitely succeed!"
Xiao Zhenwei tried several times to use a spatula to shut Xiao Dazhuang up, to stop him from talking so much nonsense just because he could only fry a few chestnuts.
After Luo Shiliu finished speaking, Wang Hao finished speaking, and after Wang Hao finished speaking, Xiao Dazhuang finished speaking. Xiao Dazhuang's words were the most numerous and the most derogatory.
I almost made him so angry he felt like his heart, liver, and lungs would burst!
The teacher who started teaching roasted chestnuts has completed his training; the next step is to develop a teaching plan and designate teaching areas.
It's time to see the guests off.
The method was taught again and again, and everyone else in the same room had already succeeded, but Xiao Zhenwei still couldn't figure it out after trying for a long time.
Despite not knowing how, they still made demands with a sense of entitlement: "I can't learn how to make roasted chestnuts, I want to buy an electric roasting machine."
