Chapter 037: Sugar Fried Chestnuts

As a later generation, Li Kui thought that in the Northern Song Dynasty, he had countless plans to make money for him to choose from. He was free and unrestrained, and there was nothing he could do.

But the cruel reality always hurt him.

The painful experience of ginseng is just an inconspicuous one.

Li Kui definitely has no shortage of finding a business that can make a living by diligence.

For example, making roasted goods.

But can Li Kui make his life goal by becoming a roasted store owner after traveling through time?

Can he afford to lose this person?

He can't do this business, but he can let Li Dalang do it! Anyway, this guy is really annoying in front of him. He looks at him and doesn't listen to him. He asked Li Dalang with a whisper, "I have agreed with Han Dahu that I'll lose the cow, even if I'll compensate you. You can continue to go to the warehouse to deliver goods in two days."

"Don't go!"

Although Li Dalang was so nauseous, he also had a temper at home. He probably thought about the dignity of his elder brother as a father. If he had caused trouble and finally asked his brother to pay for it, how could he have the face to hang out in the village in the future?

What do the old and young men in the village think of him?

What do the young wives think of him?

Can he still talk about his wife?

...

I have to say that he thought quite far.

If Li Kui hadn't been too lazy to talk to him because his cheap brother risked his life and wanted to help his brother fight tigers. Besides, Li Dalang's status at home is definitely the last, and even Li, who eats nothing, is not as good as Li. Fortunately, he doesn't have a dog at home, so maybe one more beast, and his family status can be ahead of Li Dalang.

Who made him have a mouth that no one likes?

But he had to go to the warehouse. Li Kui said patiently: "Do you think I asked you to go to the warehouse for the purpose of delivering goods? Wrong, don't you want to let Wang Fu's cow be exposed? If you want to take revenge, you have to go and pretend to behave. Not only do you have to go, but you also have to walk around the county town as soon as possible. Neither cow nor cart are missing. Just tell the outside world that the cow has not been lost, and the cart is good."

"I lost the cow, but the car was not lost." Li Dalang retorted.

Li Kui raised his hand and threatened, "Speak well."

"The cattle has not been lost, the car is fine." Li Dalang answered heartbrokenly, and then muttered: "But if the cattle is lost, it is lost."

"You are told that to find a thief who is a cow. Do you think I care less about the little wages you have to deliver? Have a loss of this as soon as possible. When you catch the thief, your delivery business will end." Li Kui was very tired, mainly because he was indescribable irritability in his heart when facing Li Dalang.

Li Dalang then turned around and said expectantly: "Can you really catch a cow thief?"

"You can catch it if you do what I said." Li Kui paused and continued, "But don't deliver goods in the future. You can't make a lot of money and you're bullied. Just rent a house on the street in the county town and I'll make a living for you."

"Aren't you staying at home?"

After Li Dalang finished speaking, he seemed to feel the anger in Li Kui's eyes and explained: "Brother! It's not that my brother said, how much does it cost to rent a house? It's not that I don't want to eat or wear, and I can make money for nothing. It's better for us to save the rewards that Mr. Han gave you. It's better to get a house in the future. This person! He's endless food and clothing, and he'll be poor if he can't figure it out. With this hundred stakes, you'll have money to marry a wife in the future, and I'll have hopes and nothing is missing. Why do you need to learn what incompetent people are? Go to the county town to rent a house and then spend money on eating the food for the first time."

Come on, this guy wants to stay in Baizhang Village and stop leaving, right?

"I asked you to live in the county town and do a small business. Do you think I'm going to live in the county town?"

The more Li Kui talked to Li Dalang, the more angry he felt. How could this guy argue with him? He still had a fool's cleverness in his words, which was really unbearable.

"Ha...I'm going to do business?"

After hearing this, Li Dalang shook his head and said, "If it doesn't work, it won't work. I'm not a business man. If I'm discounted my capital, where can I pay it back?"

"Isn't you asking you to open a rice shop, a tea shop, or a unique business like this. Should you be able to stir-fry chestnuts?"

Li Kui frowned and said, if it weren't for holding a book or a stone in his hand, maybe the things in his hand would have gone to Li Dalang.

Li Dalang laughed, as if mocking Li Kui's ignorance, and said, "Chestnuts are nothing more than roasting, boiling, or steaming. Or getting a little tired, so he removed the shell, took out the chestnut meat, crushed it, and mixed it in the millet and made steamed rice. Where can I make the reason for stir-frying?"

Li Kui, who was extremely impatient, also gave up the idea of ​​continuing to reason with Li Dalang and scolded: "If you ask you to go, go, don't you do business, can you still want to come back to farm?"

"You take Li Quan to the river to pick up small stones with smaller fingernails. The amount of half a pot is less. I'll let Li Quan take care of you!"

Li Dalang shrank his head and knew that he had angered his brother again.

He thought to himself: "Li Kui is getting more and more irritable. Now he always has the intention to beat people. How can he discipline him in the future?"

He had this idea, but he didn't dare to say it. He could probably guess what the ending would be like.

Helplessly, he could only sigh and take Li Quan to pick up the small stones. After finally picking them up, Li Kui didn't let him be idle, so he asked him to clean the small stones. Li Dalang almost threw away the dustpan. This brother was too frustrated. However, seeing Li Kui put up the pot, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

When the stones are washed and the pot is hot, pour the small stones into the pot.

Li Dalang couldn't stop him even if he wanted to stop him. He didn't understand what Li Kui was going to do?

Anyway, since he returned home, he was increasingly unable to see through his brother. However, when Li Kui put brown sugar into the stone, he couldn't help it: "Isn't this a waste of putting the sugar in the stone?"

"Look at me with my eyes wide, didn't you say anything?"

Li Kui shook his shoulders, threw Li Dalang over, threw the chestnuts all over, and then started to stir-fry them, rustling, rustling.

After a cup of tea, the brown sugar completely melted, the stone wrapped in sugar color, and began to turn black, and a caramel smell spread in the air. Li Dalang widened his eyes and couldn't help swallowing, wondering, "Why do you want to eat this?"

More than half an hour later, the chestnuts that were cut into pieces burst one by one, revealing the caramel-colored chestnut meat. Li Kui didn't know if this was good. He continued to fry for a while and then left the pot to cool down.

The opening is so tempting that the originally dim chestnut shell looks like it was polished, with a crystal clear light.

Li Kui picked up one, peeled it gently and put it in his mouth. The long-lost softness and sweetness mixed together with the unique smell of caramel, which was so irresistible.

Li Quan couldn't even raise his head when he ate, and Zhang kept praising his son for his great ability and fiddling with him casually was a delicious food in the world.

Li Dalang's heart was bleeding. Although most of the money spent at home was earned by Li Kui, it had nothing to do with him. But... this is also the money of the family!

Chestnuts are delicious, and chestnuts are even better when stir-fried sugar.

But when he thought that this thing was going to add sugar, he wanted to throw away all the chestnuts.

After Li Kui waited for Li Dalang to eat one, he asked: "How does it taste?"

Li Dalang tsk his mouth: "It tastes delicious, but the sugar is valuable. This business is not cost-effective. If it is sold, it will definitely lose money."

Li Kui was curious, and Li Dalang also knew that he taught him how to make candy chestnuts for business. But he didn't think he would lose money! The sugar-fried chestnuts don't use much sugar, and they don't need to add sugar every time. In the future, as long as there is a little sugar, it can produce this caramel flavor. Instead, he was curious about how high the price of chestnuts if Li Dalang did this business: "If you were asked to sell it in the county, how much does this chestnut cost per pound?"

"Chestnuts in the mountains are not valuable, and they are not expensive in the county town. Just a few words!" Li Dalang felt that his price was high and looked at Li Kui with some difficulty.

Li Kui angrily threw the chestnuts in his hand into the dustpan and threatened: "Ten coins per pound, no selling is allowed if you are less. If you keep this business and secret recipe, it will become your life for life."

"What if I lose money?" Li Dalang said worriedly.

Li Kui really doesn't want to talk to this guy: "I'll pay for it!"
