While I was standing in the yard having a cup of tea, I heard rustling footsteps approaching from far away.
Jiang Fu quickly stepped forward and said, "Madam!"
Wang Meiyun looked at Jiang Fu and asked: "Didn't I tell you to take good care of the young master? What have you been busy with all day?"
Jiang Fu couldn't help but blame himself. He lowered his head and replied with self-blame: "My subordinate has neglected his duty, please punish me madam!"
Wang Meiyun knew the virtues of her son, and Jiang Fu could not be blamed for this matter. After all, there were a lot of things waiting for him to do in the house.
No longer arguing with him, he raised his eyes and walked towards Ma Chunhua and the others, "Boss Zhang, right? It's all because of my child's playfulness that he destroyed your food. As a mother, I can't escape the blame. This is nine taels."
When you keep the money, please ask Boss Zhang to take care of my master's face and not to publicize it to the outside world."
Ma Chunhua heard that Wang Meiyun valued the reputation of the county magistrate and knew how to spend money to eliminate disasters.
"Of course this old woman understands. I won't publicize this matter casually. Madam, please rest assured."
Wang Meiyun's face was ashen as she stretched out her hand and grabbed her son and shouted, "Come here and apologize to Grandma Zhang?"
Seeing this, Ma Chunhua thought to herself that since she had the money, it didn't matter whether she apologized or not. They might never see each other again in the future, so she quickly said: "Forget it, I'm just a kid. He's just a playful age, maybe he's just curious.
Woolen cloth ."
Wang Meiyun had a serious look on her face. Looking at her son's look of needing a beating, she said bitterly: "That won't work. One code must be the same. If you do something wrong, you must have the courage to admit it and bear the consequences for the wrong thing you have done. If so,
If this matter is handled carelessly like this, he will take chances in the future. We in the Jiang family have never dared to be such cowards and dare not admit it, so today he must sincerely apologize?"
Ma Chunhua thought that the county magistrate's wife would definitely be a protective woman and would come over to take money to settle the matter.
I didn't expect that she has such upright views. Such a person is worth being friends with.
"Grandma Zhang, I was wrong. I won't scare people with random things next time. Please forgive me!" After the child finished speaking, he lowered his head in shame and stood beside his mother.
When Ma Chunhua saw this, the child was young, so there was no need to hold on to this one wrong thing.
She comforted him by saying, "It's okay, it's okay. Grandma has a naughty grandson like you, and he often makes mistakes, but he is a good boy if he knows his mistakes and can correct them. Grandma forgives you for this."
After receiving Ma Chunhua's forgiveness, Jiang Xiaoxu's little eyes flashed with light.
The child blinked his innocent eyes and said: "Grandma Zhang, I didn't mean it. I heard a while ago that there is a stall selling sugar-roasted chestnuts in the town and the chestnut cake is delicious. I want to buy some for my mother to try.
But before I went out, my father told me not to go out and cause trouble. I heard that the stall was going to be closed soon, so I wanted to go out and buy some for my mother while there were still some for sale."
Wang Meiyun didn't expect that the child really ran out of the house for her own sake. She put her arms around the child and said, "Xiao Xu, mother didn't know you had such filial piety. I wronged you!"
When the child heard her mother's comfort and understanding, tears flowed down her eyes, "Mom, I'm still late. I heard that no one has sold it for a long time and there is no food left. Is it all to blame Uncle Jiang for not letting me go out early?"
No, why are you twisting and turning on yourself? Master, please come back and save me!
Jiang Fu felt a little aggrieved. It was his master who refused to go out, and it was not him.
He pouted aggrievedly, looked at the young master, and said in his heart, if it weren't for your filial piety, I wouldn't forgive you, hum!
Ma Chunhua saw her loving mother and her filial son, and was moved by their affection. What a big deal!
"You can have this!"
This sentence was so abrupt that the mother, daughter and Jiang Fu were a little confused.
"Aunt Zhang fried chestnuts? I said you can have this, you can fry it on the spot, you can make it on the spot, because this stall was originally my idea?"
What? I searched here and there, but in the end I couldn’t find the stall, but I found the original owner?
Jiang Fu couldn't believe it at all. He didn't even dare to write it in a novel. How could such a coincidence happen?
Ma Chunhua asked Jiang Fu to buy some chestnuts and brown sugar, and sift some yellow sand to prepare.
Wang Meiyun didn't expect that Boss Zhang in front of her was actually Fat Aunt Zhang?
She heard that Fat Aunt Zhang was trying to gain weight for her children, and now she was losing weight for the sake of living.
Ma Chunhua did not expect that her random fabrication would be praised like this. Taking advantage of Jiang Fu's purchase, Wang Meiyun and Ma Chunhua started chatting.
Only then did Wang Meiyun know why the sugar-fried chestnuts suddenly disappeared. It turned out that there were so many twists and turns in the story.
She sympathized with Ma Chunhua for being so marginalized and betrayed by her daughter-in-law for starting a business.
"Sister Zhang, you are really a legend in your life. Your reputation has been ruined. After a fall, you can still open a Pinxian noodle shop and make delicious food like snail noodles. I can't. My husband has been the county magistrate for three years.
Even though he has achieved great results, he is still sent here to continue serving as the county magistrate, but he is still as poor as before and I can’t help him at all?”
Ma Chunhua knew that Jiang Zhenwei was an upright official, but she did not expect that he was so poor. Without contact, he would not have known that their lives were not as good as those of ordinary people.
Ma Chunhua rolled her eyes and suddenly came up with a way to get the best of both worlds. Firstly, it could help the county magistrate's family get out of trouble, and secondly, it could solve the problem of selling the chestnuts hoarded by all the villagers in Xitang Village.
In fact, she had known for a long time that after the recipe was announced, everyone would start imitating it like a swarm. Such consequences would inevitably lead to malicious competition, causing everyone to give up this profitable business and make sugar-fried chestnuts disappear.
.
If she cooperates with Wang Meiyun to open a pastry shop, she will use her own house to develop the technology and advance the start-up capital herself. After the profit is repaid, the two families will split the business 50-50, and everyone will make a profit.
After the idea took shape, Wang Meiyun was immediately moved by his plan.
Taking into account her own personal income, she can still afford the money to buy a shop, but she doesn't know what Dao Dao thinks about her own business.
After being undecided for a while, she just put the matter on hold for now. Ma Chunhua asked her to give her a reply after thinking about it. Ma Chunhua was not in a hurry now anyway.
After purchasing everything, Ma Chunhua asked someone to wash the chestnuts, cut them into cross-cut knives, and then put them in a pot with sand and gravel to stir-fry.
With a handful of sugar and a bowl of water, Ma Chunhua rolled up her sleeves and tied up her apron, looking confident. After a while, the cracks in the chestnuts exploded like smiling faces, grinning, all trying to get ahead.
.
The aroma of chestnuts covered in syrup spread out instantly, attracting the servants in the house to come and watch.
After frying all the chestnuts and pouring them into a sieve to remove the sand and gravel, what remains are round, sugar-fried chestnuts.
Before Ma Chunhua could shout out "hot", she was caught by Xiaoxu.
Xiaoxu saw the chestnuts he longed for, but he didn't expect that the small one would be so hot to the touch. He was reluctant to throw it away. He wanted to give it to his mother but was afraid that it would burn her hands.
"Ah, Grandma Zhang, perm!"
After the child finished shouting, he had to throw the chestnuts back into the bowl, and with his hands free, he quickly pinched his ears to reduce the heat on his fingers.
Seeing the child's funny look, everyone in the yard was made to laugh.
Xiaoxu followed suit this time and blew it for a long time before picking it up. He peeled one off for his mother and put it in his mouth, waiting for her reaction.
"It's delicious, soft, glutinous, sweet and delicious. It's worthy of the sugar-roasted chestnuts fried by Fatty Zhang herself!"
The son fed the first chestnut to himself, and Wang Meiyun ate it in her mouth, feeling sweet in her heart.
Thinking that if such delicacies were made, the people of Xinglin Town would definitely flock to it, and he secretly made a decision. This chapter has been completed!
