Chapter 34: Get the boss at night

After Xiao Wei looked at them all, he frowned and said, "There are no black spots in them all, are they all rooster eggs?"

Bai Lu nodded: "Theoretically, that's true."

“Can’t even hatch chicks?” Xiao Wei looked unhappy and didn’t really believe it.

 Although Bai Lu’s speech in the morning was particularly convincing as a teacher standing on the podium.

                                                                    ——

 Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

Bai Lu told Xiao Wei to look at it a few times. After the black spots might not be obvious, he went to the front yard to open the door.

The fifth aunt Wen Xiuyun was carrying a basket of fresh fruits with a smile on her face: "You guys should eat now. I have some newly picked fruits. You can take them back and try them."

  The news that the police came to search the house this morning spread all over the streets, and Bai Lu was not surprised by the visit from the fifth aunt.

"Fifth Aunt, you are so polite. Come in and sit down. I roasted some chestnuts two days ago. You should try it too."

After exchanging polite greetings, the two of them went to the main room and sat down together. The fruit basket was placed on the Eight Immortals table.

On the day she first came here, Bai Lu collected a few enamel water glasses in Li Shuixian's shop. Now she just took them out to entertain the guests. After washing them, she poured some water that would be boiled after lunch.

Wen Xiuyun took it with both hands and looked at Bai Lu with more and more satisfaction. It was a pity that she was not her daughter-in-law.

Not only is she beautiful, but she is also gentle, has a good temper, and is so polite in dealing with others. How could such a good girl be snatched away by Xiao Cheng.

Wen Xiuyun held the enamel cup. After chatting for a while, she asked Bai Lu softly: "Is your Xiao Cheng okay?"

She heard what happened in the morning, from the old man Li Tou who sold sugar water next door, so she came over to take a look after closing the stall at noon.

Xiao Cheng can still do things well with that group of people. They are quick and diligent in their work, and no one is sneaking around.

It's okay that nothing happened. If Xiao Cheng was really involved in those things, she would have to find the construction team again as soon as possible.

So as not to have to stop work at regular intervals during the construction period and not know when the new house will be built, her two children are still studying in high school in the city, so they can live closer to the town.

Bai Lu was obviously aware of her anxiety, so she said with a smile in a relaxed tone: "Thank you for your concern, Aunt Five. Cheng is fine."

"It was all a misunderstanding. The police comrades received a report saying that we had concealed contraband such as machetes in our house. After a search, they stopped the team. When we came out, we met Liu Guangguan. After a confrontation, we found out that he had made a mistake."

In just a few words, Bai Lu explained the whole story clearly, cutting off the beginning and leaving the key points.

The version that was passed down by others would inevitably add fuel to the fire and exaggerate. After hearing Bai Lu's simple and clear explanation, Wen Xiuyun finally let go of her suspicions.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's all going around, and one person is saying the same thing. I don't know what's going on. I'm thinking, isn't Xiao Cheng helping my family build a house? How could something like this happen? It turns out that I really made a mistake. Let me just say that although Xiao Cheng doesn’t like to talk, he can still do things..."

 The misunderstanding was explained clearly and everyone was honest with each other. Wen Xiuyun was relieved and so was Bai Lu.

Being able to build good houses for neighbors will be an important step in overcoming Xiao Cheng’s bad impression in the hearts of his neighbors, and will lay a solid foundation for what he will do in the future.

 After all, words disappear over time.

The house that remains standing is like a memory benchmark, repeatedly taking root in the mind of every passer-by.

 “Is this chestnut?”

Wen Xiuyun picked up a chestnut that was golden, shiny and fragrant, with a face full of surprise.

She was about to leave when she was done, but she remembered that when she came in, Bai Lu asked her to try the newly roasted chestnuts.

There are chestnut trees all over the mountains and plains in the countryside, and there are quite a few of them on her mountain. Apart from being used in cooking, stewing, stewing, and boiling, they are not really any rare and good fruits. I originally tasted one as a return gift, but I didn’t expect it to be so fragrant after peeling it off. It tasted soft, glutinous and sweet.

 It tastes much better than the stew method that has been tried for thousands of times, and people can't stop eating it.

Wen Xiuyun brought the fruit over and reciprocated the courtesy. Bai Lu asked her to eat more if she liked it, so she was not polite and ate two more, leaving a fragrant taste in her mouth.

"This chestnut looks like roasted or fried. It tastes soft, waxy, sweet, and a little crispy. It's a fresh way of eating that I've never seen before. If you sell it on the street, it will definitely attract people." The businessman is always very good. Discover business opportunities quickly.

Wen Xiuyun and her husband have been selling fruit for more than ten years. They rely on their sincere management and good reputation for not being short-changed.

Of course they won’t be those black-hearted profiteers who try to find secret recipes, so they can say whatever they want.

Moreover, Xiao Cheng is still building a house in her house. If he dares to cheat Bai Lu, he will definitely have to walk around without food.

Bai Lu likes to deal with smart people, "I just put some sugar in it and fried it. It may just suit Aunt Wu's taste. Can it really be sold on the street for money?"

  Despite her calm face and humble tone, in fact, a small flame of excitement has been ignited in her heart.

"Of course it's true. There are a lot of chestnuts in the countryside, but people have long been tired of those ancient ways of eating them just to fill their stomachs without paying attention to taste. Your method of eating stir-fried sugar is so new that no one has ever seen it. It will definitely make money.”

Wen Xiuyun is a real person and likes the character of the little girl Bai Lu, so naturally she doesn't hide it.

Just say what you have: "My husband and I have been selling fruits for so many years, but we have never seen any town or city that has this kind of way of eating chestnuts by adding sugar and frying them."

“Roasted chestnuts with sugar,” Bai Lu said.

Wen Xiuyun nodded: "Roasted chestnuts with sugar are a fresh way to eat them. I took a look when peeling them just now. They can't just be fried. If you sell them on the street, the business will definitely not be bad, and they won't be sold out in just three or two days. Go learn it.”

Roasted chestnuts with sugar seem to be simple, but it is not easy to make them with good appearance, moderate sweetness and sweetness, and to meet the public's taste. If you accidentally burn the pot, it will taste bitter.

Wen Xiuyun doesn’t think that it can be done by just putting some sugar in the pot, pouring in the chestnuts and stir-frying.

  It means that you may have to add something in the middle, and you have to pay attention to the order of stir-frying. If Bailu is not mentioned, it does not mean that it is not there.

 She is naturally sensible and won’t ask too deep questions.

But if there was a possibility of cooperation in the business, she still hoped that Bai Lu would be the first to think of her.

Of course Bai Lu wants to make money!

 But the boss won’t give it…

 At night, I have to think of a way to deal with the big boss so that I can discuss the specific money-making plan with my fifth aunt.

When Wen Xiuyun was sent out, Bai Lu deliberately tore off a few old calendars, folded them into large funnels, filled them with candied roasted chestnuts, and put them in the empty fruit basket for her to take back.

He didn’t ask her to give the customers a taste of the fruit when she was selling it, and he told her to give her something to eat when she tried the market.

 Forget about being a good person.

She is older than Bai Lu, so she can’t be any worse than her. Some things don’t need to be said, just do them.

Xiao Wei waited until the two of them had finished talking, after Wen Xiuyun left, and Bai Lu closed the door and came back, then he showed up.

“I’ve photographed the eggs many times and there are no black spots. Are they all rooster eggs that cannot hatch chicks?”
