I wiped all the dozen chestnut boards on the dining table with toilet paper, and wiped the ash on the dining table, then peeled one and stuffed it into my mouth.

"How is it? How is it?" Chen Yubin's eyes were shining, looking at Xiaoxi expectantly, not treating himself badly, his hands were not idle, and he stuffed his mouth bulging.

"Well~ sweet, soft, delicious, and even better than the fried chestnuts with sugar." The ones cooked on charcoal fire are better than the ones fried. It is a little dry and sweeter, and rusty and glutinous.

"Sister, what is the candy-fried chestnut?" Chen Yubin immediately asked when he heard a strange food.

Oh no, why did she say it out after she was not careful? She has never seen this thing now. "Well... I heard that, I heard from those people in the school."

Xiaoxi has a habit of lying, which is to stare at the other person with wide eyes and look at him seriously. After he finishes his words, he will nod slightly, as if he agrees with what he says.

Chen Yubin, who was peeling chestnuts, didn't pay attention, glanced casually, and continued to peel chestnuts. "Why don't I know which one you heard?"

"You and I are always together. Are you still going to the girls' dormitory? I talked about it in the dormitory in the evening, so you don't know." He picked up the chestnut on the table and peeled another one, "Chestnut is a chestnut, also called chestnut. I heard from them that there are fried chestnuts sold in the county town, which is delicious and sweet and glutinous."

"Oh~" He looked like this. Just say, I haven't eaten it before, why did you eat it before? It turns out that I heard it. "You haven't eaten it before, so why do you say it's better than the fried chestnuts in sugar? You don't know."

Why don’t I know? I don’t know how many times I have eaten it. It’s just that I haven’t eaten it in my life. I just cheated you. I really believe it.

"I haven't eaten it before, but I heard them say what it feels and tastes when eating it. Then think about the taste of cooked chestnuts. Besides, my little brother's roast is not delicious. It must be much better than the candy stir-fried chestnuts sold on the street." Finally, I didn't forget to wear a high hat on Chen Yubin.

Sure enough, he smiled and narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

"Isn't we going to the market tomorrow? We bought some for food when we went to the county town. You'll know which one is better?"

"Ah~ But our family goes to Longyan for the New Year and never goes to the county town." Chen Yubin said regretfully.

"We will go to the county town tomorrow." Xiaoxi said affirmatively.

"Ah~ Really, that's great." Chen Yubin shouted excitedly. Longyan is just a town, so lively. If he went to the county town, it would definitely be even more lively. The last time he went to the county town was when he came back from Beijing last year. He just took a quick glance and went home. This time he must have a good time. It will definitely be very lively during the Chinese New Year.

"Shhhh... whisper." Seeing that the old couple attracted the attention of them, Xiaoxi hurriedly grabbed Chen Yubin who jumped up excitedly.

After being excited, Chen Yubin thought of a problem, looked at Xiaoxi in confusion and asked, "Sister, how do you know we are going to go to the county town tomorrow? Grandpa said it?"

"Hehe... this is a secret." Xiaoxi glanced at him mysteriously, made a zipper on his lips, and then continued to peel the chestnut board and eat it.

"Hmph~" I don't care if you don't say it. "Oh, eat slowly, you've finished it all." Seeing that the chestnuts on the table were decreasing one by one, Chen Yubin hurriedly grabbed the only two left on the table and held them in his hand.

"Stingy guy, it's not that there's nothing left, let's bake it again." He threw the peeled chestnuts in his hand into his mouth, muttered, took out some raw chestnuts and threw them into the charcoal pile.

"Tsk~" Chen Yubin, who was beside him, carefully peeled the only two chestnuts left in his hand, and then bit them bite them bite them bit by bit. After all, the next wave of roasted chestnuts still have to wait for a while.

Speaking of the candy-fried chestnuts, Xiaoxi remembered another food. Oh, it was amazing, day by day, I was thinking about what I had in my mind.

"Binbin, I remembered another kind of food. Do you want to eat it?" Xiaoxi raised his eyebrows and said temptingly.

Sure enough, "What is it to want to eat?" Chen Yubin quickly got on the hook, and the speed was very fast.

"Hehe... it is also made of chestnut boards, called chestnut cakes. I have read it in the book."

Chen Yubin had no doubt about this statement, because when they went to Beijing for a trip last summer vacation, they went to the library twice and a bookstore once. Every time they entered, Xiaoxi would dive into the book, staying for a day, and she had to urge her several times before she could put the book back in her hand and leave the store.

Several times he saw Xiaoxi holding the recipes in his hand, which were delicious. Later, he even bought a few recipes when he became rich. So he had never doubted what she had made, thinking that she had learned from books.

"That's good, how to make it? Then start making it." As soon as he talked about eating, he began to speak incoherently again.

"Well, I want you to help." Xiaoxi took a basin and a basin of raw chestnuts, took out a basin of raw chestnuts, and gave him a knife, "Look, like me, just cut the shell and cut it." He gestured.

"Oh~" He held the chestnut in his left hand and the knife in his right hand, and cut a knife in his head like the stream. However, the first knife was a bit heavy, cutting the flesh.

"Slow down, the shell of this chestnut is a little slippery, don't hurt your hands." Seeing that he was a little clumsy, Xiaoxi instructed with concern.

"Well, I know." Chen Yubin replied without raising his head. He also knew that this thing was slippery, and the knife in his hand was sharply sharp by Mr. Chen, so he just stared at the chestnut in his hand and carefully cut it.

Because the chestnut was small and he had to use force when he pinched it, his hands became sore after a while, and his eyes became sore, so he stopped and rested for a while. "Sister, why did you cut a knife on the shell?" Chen Yubin didn't understand, why did he take such a lot of effort?

Xiaoxi simply stopped and rested for a while, "These chestnuts will be put into the pot and cooked later, and then peeled the shells. This way, cut a hole, and then put into the pot and cooked later, and then it will start. Just peel the shells and break them open, so it will be easier to peel them, so that you no longer have to break the shells so hard."

"Oh~" So that's how it is, increasing knowledge.

After resting for a while, the two of them continued. Just like that, they worked for a while and rested for a while, for about thirty or forty minutes, all the chestnuts were pulled.

Go down to the pot inside, because the pot in the middle is small, you can't hold the full pot of chestnuts, add water and boil it.

There was nothing wrong, Xiaoxi stood by the stove and watched Grandma Chen’s fried crispy pork.

"I'm not confused anymore." Grandma Chen said without raising her head.

"How much more do you want?" Mr. Chen asked with his head raised.

Xiaoxi discovered a problem. Whether in her previous life or now, she seemed to have never heard Mr. Chen and Grandma Chen call each other's names, but as soon as the other party spoke, she knew that it was for him (her) to listen.

This is probably the so-called tacit understanding that has been tempered in life, and Xiaoxi is very envious.

Grandma Chen looked up at the few remaining ribs next to the batter basin, and said with an estimate: "It should be enough to make half a basin." The crispy meat is not only meaty, but also vegetable.

Mr. Chen got up to wash his hands and scooped flour to mix the batter.

Because I have to use a lot of flour today, so I don’t have to run back and forth and waste time, a small bag of flour is mentioned to the kitchen and placed on the chopping board for easy use.

Xiaoxi sat in front of the stove door to help cook the pot because she knew that Mr. Chen would be busy next time. "Master, make more batter and eggplant."

There is no eggplant in winter, but there is a long eggplant in the stream space. Mr. Chen didn't think much about it and then scooped two more scoops of flour into the basin and added water.

Pour the prepared batter into the batter basin just now, "Binbin, go to the yard to pinch two handfuls of fennel." After pouring the batter, Mr. Chen remembered that the fennel had not been pinched back, so he instructed Chen Yubin to pinch it.

There is a bunch of fennel on the edge of the yard in front of the Xi family. It has been many years. In spring, tender branches are sprouted, and the leaves are split in pinnate and linear. In winter, the branches become old and dry, but some tender branches and leaves will appear at the roots, not many. The branches and leaves are so tender that they can fall off after pinching them. This is what you eat.

Like fennel, wash it and soak it in a kimchi jar. After soaking, it will be very good to eat.

The fennel tastes very strong, and Xiaoxi only accepts soaking it out to make kimchi or frying it with batter. She really can't accept the taste of the rest.

"Oh." He hurriedly stuffed the chestnut in his hand into his mouth, patted the ashes on his hand, and walked out of the house.

Before returning to the chopping board, I didn’t need to wash the basin. I just scooped a few scoops of flour in, beat two eggs, and added water to make dough.

After a while, Chen Yubin pinched two handfuls of green fennel and put them on the chopping board. Seeing Mr. Chen holding his face on the chopping board, he had to run to the face wash stand to wash his hands and stand quietly beside Mr. Chen.

Cut the dough into small pieces without fermenting it with a kitchen knife.

Sprinkle a thin layer of flour on the chopping board, Chen Yubin took a ball of dough, imitated Mr. Chen to put it in a few strokes, pull it into a long piece, fold it in half a few times, then fold it in half, then roll it into a round strip, and cut it into small lumps with a kitchen knife.

Throw the prepared small lumps into a pan and fry them to make golden. This is the fried fruit. Because it is repeatedly put and folded in half, it is crispy when it is fried. In the past, it was necessary to make mats such as fruit fruit and crispy meat, so you have to start preparing two days ago.

Seeing that the two of them were busy with other things, Xiaoxi added firewood, got up, scooped water, washed the fennel and brought it to Grandma Chen, and then fried it after the ribs were finished.

I touched more than ten long eggplants, washed them, cut them into strips, filled them with a full basket, and brought them to the stove.

Xiaoxi looked at the fried fruits in the pot and remembered something, "Mother-in-law, what about fried fruits."
