The sugar water in the pot was bubbling, and the greasy sweet smell made several people in the kitchen sniff.
The cooked and pried open chestnut pulp was thrown into the pot all at once.
They picked a lot of chestnuts before the New Year. Except for those they brought back to their family, the rest were stored in the cellar.
Zhang Zhiqing and the others were also attracted and came over: "Oh, so much sugar is used to fry chestnuts, you are such a spendthrift!"
Liu Lili said this while looking at the yellow chestnuts wrapped in sugar syrup and couldn't help siping.
"I haven't tasted what candied chestnuts taste like yet. You must let me taste them later."
Originally, all the people in the educated youth point were revolutionary comrades who had gone to the countryside alone and gathered together.
If you have something good and there is too much of it, it is considered very generous if you give others a bite or two to try.
But they are all intellectuals and educated. It is not easy for anyone to get something nowadays, so no one would be as shameless as Liu Lili to ask for it.
Wen Sihe smiled warmly, and she looked at Liu Lili with sparkling eyes: "Liu Zhiqing, I remember you brought a lot of bacon back home this year. Take some out for lunch and let's cook some dishes together."
Liu Lili put her hands on her hips and glared: "My mom loved me so much that she brought it here with great difficulty. How dare you accept it!"
Wen Sihe sneered: "Yes, we worked hard to pick it up in the mountains, and we also bought the candy with money, why should we give it to you?"
Liu Lili's face turned pale and blue, and she said in embarrassment: "I'll just try one or two, I don't want much from you."
"Yes, we only asked you for a piece of meat, but you brought two or three!"
"Can meat be compared to chestnuts?"
"I'm not competing with chestnuts, I'm competing with sugar."
Liu Lili couldn't argue with Wen Sihe, so she could only stamp her feet in anger and shout, "How stingy!"
Wen Sihe looked at her back as she left in shame and anger and sneered: "What a shameless person, invincible in the world."
She spoke rudely, which made Zhang Zhiqing and others standing nearby feel a little embarrassed, so they went back outside to continue their work.
Wu Yu looked at Wen Sihe with some admiration, and then said with some concern: "Is it not good for us to do this?"
Wen Sihe glanced at her and said, "What's wrong with that? If you give it to Liu Lili, everyone in the educated youth camp will have a taste of it.
There are two per person, so more than fifty people have to go out at once.
I can't bear to give away so many candied chestnuts. Can you?"
Wu Yu shook his head like a rattle.
They can make two pots of these candies, each pot has about a hundred pieces, and after dividing them among three people, each of them can make about 70 to 80 pieces.
Considering Wu Yu's greedy nature, it would probably take him half a month to finish it.
After the three of them had scooped out all the chestnuts, Wen Sihe scraped off the sugar on the edge of the pot.
Then he smashed the thin sugar into small pieces, put them into an oil paper bag and handed it to Li Guihua: "Sister Guihua, take the sugar next to the pot.
This tastes much better than other candies.”
Wu Yu also took the opportunity to pinch one and put it in his mouth: "Yeah, it's really delicious."
Li Guihua hesitated: "How can I take them all? Let's divide them."
Wu Yu stuffed the paper bag into Li Guihua's pocket.
"Oh, Sister Guihua, He He and I don't like eating candy, please take it and put it in the house. Take these candied chestnuts away as well. What if someone comes here again?"
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Before Li Guihua could carry the candied chestnuts in the basket back into the house, a male educated youth came up to her.
"Li Zhiqing, what is this?"
Li Guihua felt disgusted when she saw Chen Jiangnan with a greedy look on his face.
It’s a pity that she and Chen Jiangnan were in love with each other before, but now no matter how she looks at it, Chen Jiangnan is not worthy of her.
"Make way, a good dog doesn't block the road!"
Chen Jiangnan looked embarrassed. He didn't expect that he had taken the initiative to talk to Li Guihua, but she still spoke so harshly.
"Guihua, I came here today to apologize to you. I was blinded for a moment and did something wrong. I miss the time when we read books together and encouraged each other."
Li Guihua looked at the female educated youths who were stretching their necks to look over here, and she felt angry and annoyed: "I think you think that Xu Zhiqing didn't even look at you, so you turned back to look for me.
Sorry, I don’t recycle garbage here either!”
She learned this from Wen Sihe. They were all curious about why Wen Sihe's attitude towards Qin Zhiping changed so much.
Wen Sihe only said: "I'm not a garbage recycling station. He came back covered in shit, and I still accepted him. I'm really crazy."
Before Qin Zhiping and others came, Chen Jiangnan was also a gentleman, otherwise Li Guihua would not have fallen in love with him.
But after Qin Zhiping came, his family conditions were better than his and he was more eloquent in his daily life.
All of a sudden, Chen Jiangnan was made to look like a clown. After a long time, Chen Jiangnan was too lazy to maintain his previous personality.
Listening to Li Guihua's ruthless exposure of him, Chen Jiangnan was so angry that he was gasping for breath.
"With your fierce appearance, who else but me would be interested in you? Don't you think about how you are worthy of me?
I used to talk to you a little more because I saw that you could help with the work.
Otherwise I feel sick just being near you."
Chen Jiangnan was completely furious. He had just delivered something to Xu Qian, but Xu Qian was not there. Qin Zhiping saw him and started to mock him.
Now this Li Guihua dares to scold him, it is simply outrageous!
Li Guihua was devastated. The good times they used to have when they sat together to discuss problems now only made her happy alone.
Wen Sihe protected Li Guihua behind her and glared at Chen Jiangnan: "Chen Zhiqing, I fell in love with you before because Sister Guihua was blinded by greed.
I just don't know if you have a mirror in your room? If you don't have a mirror, you can just pee in it and see how your white-cooked chicken looks. Who can match it?
Our sister Guihua gets full work points every day, and she can get a lot of money at the end of the year. How about you?
Saying that you have eight workers is a compliment to you, but now you are coming around with such a big face. It is really disgusting. It is disgusting to the extreme. "
