Chapter 35 Sugar-roasted Chestnuts



[Complete the task of gossiping with Xiong Cuihua and successfully check in with Xiong Cuihua to receive 100 A4 sheets of paper as a reward.]

Not bad, not bad, this reward is pretty good.

Lin Xue, who had just returned to the compound, heard those two sentences of pure English. Her accent was even better than those of her classmates in junior college. Perhaps Song Jiayu was different from the other people in the compound.

Noticing the gaze, Song Jiayu looked over and saw that it was Lin Xue with a polite smile on her face.

Not only did he divert his gaze from Lin Xue, but his ears also turned red.

Song Jiayu can see it very clearly from this angle.

So, people are not cold?

Maybe at some point the ice can be broken because of a small thing.

But not at this moment. Song Jiayu would not go forward. After chatting about gossip with Aunt Cuihua, she returned home. The soybean sprouts that had been there for five days were the most tender and delicious.

Just then Jiang Baizhou came in. She turned around happily and asked, "You're back?"

"Yeah." Jiang Baizhou looked tired. Today, the circuit in one of the workshops in the factory kept breaking down. He spent the whole afternoon repairing it with his senior colleague. He caught up mentally, but he couldn't bear it physically. Most electricians are not busy on weekdays. They relax in the morning and inspect in the afternoon. But once they are busy, they are busier than anyone else. Even the factory director will urge them. Without the power, the plant cannot operate. If the indicators given by the superiors cannot be completed, the entire factory will be criticized from top to bottom.

"My soybean sprouts are ready, almost two pounds. We'll eat them tonight and the rest tomorrow." After Song Jiayu finished speaking, she hurriedly cut the roots of the soybean sprouts, washed them in the sink, poured a little oil into a pan, put the soybean sprouts in the pan, and stir-fried them. The fresh fragrance of the bean sprouts wafted out.

"Everyone's cooking smells so good!"

"Grandma, I want to eat other people's food. I don't want to eat the food you cook."

"Get lost. If you don't want to eat, then starve."

The walls of Lao Qian's house seemed to be less soundproof than those of the other houses in the compound. The noise was almost enough to blow the roof off, but no one was surprised.

"This little Song is a good cook. He has been to school for a few years. All the things he planted have sprouted. He even knows Romeo and Juliet." Xiong Cuihua praised him at the dinner table.

"Yes, hello Sister Song." Li Ba, who was waiting to eat chicken, followed suit and praised.

Li Chun smiled and said, "Mom, I thought it would take you a long time to understand who Romeo and Juliet were."

Xiong Cuihua was not afraid of her daughter laughing at her, so she just said, "I'm a very vulgar person and don't understand what you young people like."

Li Dong sniffed, "What a nice smell!"

Seeing the five children at home eating absentmindedly, Xiong Cuihua also scolded: "Why are you frying chestnuts again? Are you not eating?"

For Song Jiayu, eating is still necessary. She made an egg soup, put dried mushrooms in it, and added the leftover oil residue from yesterday. After the soup was cooked, she started to simmer rice. In her previous life, as a southerner, she ate rice every day. In the old Song family, it was her mother who cooked, so she had no choice. Now that she is the head of the family, of course she can eat whatever she wants.

As for the fried chestnuts with added sugar, they are eaten as dessert after meals.

The freshly fried chestnuts exude a sweet fragrance. They are fried after cutting a cut. When you want to eat them, just use your hands to push the cut apart. Song Jiayu pushed one apart and ate one herself. It has a dense texture, a refreshing fragrance, and a hint of sweetness. As expected, whether in the 21st century or in the 1960s, the charm of fried chestnuts is irreplaceable and will never go out of style.

She also peeled one for Jiang Baizhou and fed it skillfully. The man even bit her finger lightly. She glared at him and he smiled, which was very inappropriate.

"Is it tasty?"

Jiang Baizhou smiled and nodded, "They all smell good."

I don't know if he is talking about chestnuts or something else.

Song Jiayu chased the sticky person to deliver something, "Since it smells good, take this small bowl to our mother. Today, my mother sent a bowl of pickles, but the two sisters-in-law pointed at her in the neighboring courtyard. Go and support our mother."

"Okay, wait until I come back."

Jiang Baizhou's figure disappeared at the gate of Courtyard No. 14.

And the big drama in the compound next door also began.

"Some people just like to eat alone and always like to take advantage of others, sister-in-law, don't you think so?" Jiang Ersao spoke up. She just didn't like seeing her mother-in-law always subsidizing the third son's family and never thought about subsidizing their family. The second son is also a son.

"Second brother's wife, you are right. You can judge a person by his appearance but not his heart." Jiang Dasao was also greedy. She must have added sugar when frying the chestnuts, otherwise how could they smell so sweet.

Jiang Baizhou arrived at his door and heard everyone teasing his wife. He said, "Mom, Dad, last time Jiayu came home, she brought back some chestnuts. I fried some today. Jiayu said she would give them to you two to try."

Jiang's mother and father were very happy. How could they not be happy when their child was filial to them? Jiang's mother even said, "Don't take it next time. You two can eat it."

Jiang Baizhou shook his head: "That won't work. Jiayu will despise me for being unfilial."

When the third brother came, the eldest and second brothers looked inferior.

The two brothers stared at their wives, wondering why they were not as capable as the third brother's wife.

Jiang Baizhou was still outputting over there.

"What the eldest and second sisters-in-law said just now is right. People really know each other by appearance but not by heart. When Jiayu and I have something delicious, we always think of giving it to our parents. We are really no match for the two sisters-in-law at home. They must give more than us, right?"

Jiang Dasao, who only wanted to look after the property left by Jiang's father and mother to her son: ...

Jiang Ersao, filled with envy and hatred: ...

The two of them were embarrassed. Compared to the third brother's wife who had just married into the family and had sent gifts to Jiang's father and mother a few times, it was lucky that they didn't move things to her parents' home. Why would they think about honoring Jiang's mother?

The two brothers, Jiang Lao Da and Jiang Lao Er, started glaring at their wives again.

When Jiang Baizhou came back, Song Jiayu put several chopsticks of bean sprouts into his bowl and said, "Try it. I think it tastes good."

The obedient man took two bites. The bean sprouts had a crisp texture and were very fresh. Even the two soybeans, which were as small as a palm, had a hint of sweetness. Jiang Baizhou swallowed them and said, "If Chef Xu knew about this, he would probably come and trade you for some delicious food."

Song Jiayu's eyes sparkled. After these days, she had a general understanding of the three daily tasks of the character check-in system. Apart from the hidden third task of selecting candidates, the remaining two tasks must be encountered in daily life.

Chef Xu works in the kitchen of a state-owned restaurant. Even if she lives in Tianwen Lane, she may not see him for several days. She can use ingredients to increase her meeting rate, increase the task release rate, and get a one-week Shandong cuisine cooking learning card. She doesn't have to worry about losing it after taking this week's cooking class. She still likes the feeling of improving in cooking.

Just like her current personal panel is pretty good looking.
