The peasant girl led her mother and sister to become rich

I looked at the sun and it was probably twelve o'clock. If I didn't go back, my mother and the others would be anxious.

When I was almost at the foot of the mountain, I saw two little wild rabbits, and I thought of the bunch of rabbits in the space. After so many days, there must be about a hundred of them now.

Then he put the two small ones away and took out five plump white ones. He would say later that he caught them in the mountains and they would be a good addition to the workers' dishes tonight.

Song had just finished cooking when she looked up and saw Song Yunran holding two or three rabbits in one hand and carrying a bamboo basket of thorny fruits on his back.

"Yun Ran, where have you been? Why are there so many rabbits?"

"Mom, come and help me, they are so heavy! I caught these in the mountains. I caught all five of them.

I will clean up and make a pot of braised rabbit for the uncles tonight. After all, it is their first day at work, so they must have a good meal as a reward for them. "

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Wash your hands first and eat!"

After Song took the food, she urged her to eat.

The lunch was prepared by Mrs. Song and her two eldest daughters, including a pot of mixed grain rice, a pot of cabbage stewed with pork, and a mixed grain steamed bun for each person.

Such good meals are unique in the village. Normally, villagers build houses and eat cabbage and coarse grain porridge, and each person has a prescribed amount.

"Little sister, I just saw a lot of thorn balls in your backpack, why did you bring them back?"

Song Yunxi looked at her little sister who was eating quietly, thought of what she had just seen in the kitchen, and asked puzzledly.

Looking at the curious person, Song Yunran smiled and said, "This is a chestnut. There are several fruits inside the shell. Remove the skin and use it to make soup, dishes, desserts... There are many ways to eat it. After I finish my meal, I will make some sugar-fried chestnuts for you to try."

The two of them quickly finished their meal and ran away. No one took a small bamboo stool and ran to the kitchen.

Although the thorns on the outside look scary, they are actually not very prickly. They will crack if you hit them with a stone or scratch them with a knife, and you can take out the chestnuts inside.

In one afternoon, the two of them successfully peeled all the chestnuts in the bamboo basket and peeled out two large bowls of chestnut meat.

"Second sister, little sister, what are you doing? This thing has so many thorns, be careful not to prick your hands."

Song Yunqian, who had just finished his work, saw his two sisters squatting beside him peeling chestnuts, so he came over and squatted beside them to help.

"Big sister, this little sister said it's delicious, come and help."

Ever since Yunxi knew that this thorn ball was edible, he became very excited. He will probably be a foodie in the future.

After a few days of good food and accommodation, Song Yunqian looked much better, and she looked like a flower bud about to bloom. Thinking of the silk flower given by the shopkeeper a few days ago, she took it out and put it on her head.

"Little sister...you!"

Song Yunqian touched the silk flower on her head with a look of surprise and looked at her little sister.

"Big sister, you are so beautiful! Actually, I wanted to give it to you before, but I forgot."

Song Yunran stuck out her tongue and looked at her elder sister, whose eyes were already misty, with an embarrassed look on her face.

I suddenly felt that this child was so easy to appease. He was so moved by just a silk flower. I don’t know how to let that bad boy get away with it in the future.

It seems that I still need to work harder to make money. Girls, after all, need to be raised in wealth so that they won't be easily cheated.

"Little sister, keep it for yourself! We have such a good life today because of you. I can't take your things anymore."

"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? We are a family, and there is no distinction between you and me! If you want to thank me, please help me get some goose egg stones from the river! They are those smooth, round little stones. Just pick up the smallest ones."

"What do you want the stone for, little sister?"

Song Yunxi asked again with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's used to make sugar-roasted chestnuts! You'll know in a moment."

"Okay, big sister, go pick them up now!" As she said that, she picked up the bamboo basket and went to pick up the goose egg stones.

In modern times, sugar-roasted chestnuts are all roasted by machines, but here they can only be roasted manually.

Pick up the goose egg stones, wash them clean and put them in a large iron pot. Boil the goose egg stones until they are boiling, then add the freshly cut chestnuts and stir-fry continuously with a spatula.

After adding sugar, the burnt aroma of chestnuts and sugar wafted out in a short while, and even Song couldn't help but come over to take a look.

"Are these the thorny fruits just now?"

"Yes, mother, please wait a moment. It will be ready soon and you can eat it soon."

Song Yunran kept stir-frying, and when her hands were about to go numb, the fragrant, shiny, sugar-roasted chestnuts were finally ready.

The shell of freshly fried chestnuts can be peeled off with just a pinch of your hands, and the whole golden chestnut can be taken out.

The taste is sweet and soft, and it tastes even better than what I bought on the street before.

After the Song family members tasted it, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Yunxi ate several in a row, her mouth full of chestnut kernels like a little squirrel, but she couldn't help but praise: "Little sister, this is delicious, really delicious."

"Yes, this chestnut is really fragrant, soft and sticky, sweet and a little powdery. It's amazing!"

Even Song couldn't help but eat a few more, praising their deliciousness again and again, and filled another plate for grandpa and the others to try.

"Mom, I plan to make some sugar-roasted chestnuts and sell them in town. Although we still have some money now, we probably won't have much after the house is built."

In fact, she had calculated that in addition to the one thousand taels, the little money she had now was needed to build a house, then find someone to make furniture, and then rent a shop after some time.

There are a lot of miscellaneous things to buy, and they add up to a considerable expense.

But she didn't want to tell them that the money might not be enough, lest they overthink it. She decided to just bear the financial pressure on her own.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. If you need any help from me, just tell me."

Song knew that her daughter was no longer the same San Ya.

After getting permission, I planned to go up the mountain early tomorrow morning to pick up all the chestnuts, and then make them into sugar-roasted chestnuts to sell.

"Mom, you guys clean up here. I'm going to cook some braised rabbit for grandpa and the others."

I looked up and saw that it was almost five o'clock. It was time to prepare dinner. I couldn't let them go hungry after working hard all day!

"Okay! I don't know how to do it the way you do. Leave it to me. I don't want to waste those rabbits."

Looking at the little rabbit with its hands and feet tied up in the corner, what should I do with such a cute little rabbit? Several methods flashed in my mind.

It seems a bit unfair if we don’t braise such fat rabbits, so we will use the meat of the five rabbits for braising and make spicy rabbit heads as a snack for grandpa and the village chief.

I didn’t invite the village chief to dinner yesterday when the house was started under construction, so I plan to invite him over for a meal today.
