Chapter 112: Fried Stones
"Miss Su." The little round-faced man came running over.
"Why is the Lord here?"
"Miss Su, the old general's villa has been built. We are all leaving and come to say goodbye to you." This group of workers also followed the local customs and called the emperor the old general.
"Miss Su, I don't want to leave." The little round-faced boy really didn't want to leave. The food here was good, the sleep was good, and the people were very simple.
"Sir, you still have to go back to duty." Su Mu looked at the little round-faced sir with amusement. He didn't expect that he was so reluctant to let him go.
"I'll bring you some jars of pickled vegetables." Su Mu went to find clean jars to put them in.
"They are the ones that are selling very well in the shop recently!" The little round-faced man looked delighted. He knew that the pickled vegetables in the shop were delicious, but he didn't have time to buy them and couldn't get many.
"Yes, I'll bring you some of each."
The pickles made by Su Mu's family are already being sold in the shop, but the quantity sold is not large.
"The pickles in your house are so delicious, especially the salted duck eggs and dried radish."
The little round-faced man put down the bag in his hand and said, "I don't know when I can bring food to eat next time."
"Master, are you bringing things again?" Su Mu took out the jar and saw the package.
"It's not nice to eat your food for free. I also know the price of these things from Miss Su's house." The round-faced man was very polite.
Su Mu handed the jars to the little round-faced man one by one, and then loaded them onto the carriage. "We have every kind of pickled vegetable here, and there are also a lot of salted duck eggs and dried radishes."
"Your Excellency can come anytime you want next time."
"Thank you, Miss Su. I'm so happy to get so many cans!" The little round-faced adult looked very happy.
"Then I'll take my leave. I'll go back and report." The little round-faced man left.
Su Mu watched the carriage go away, picked up the bag and prepared to put it away, but found that there seemed to be quite a lot of things in it, and the clinking and rattling sound did not look like meat.
When I opened it, I saw a letter inside. The family members gathered around and asked, "What's written on it? Why did the adults write a letter?"
Su Mu read it and said to everyone, "Thank you for your care and help these days. I have learned a lot from you.
I often come here to eat, and I eat a lot every time. I feel very embarrassed. I have to leave and report today. I don’t know if I can come here often again.
I am very reluctant to leave, so I gave everyone some small gifts, hoping that you will accept them. "
When the package was opened, everyone received a small gift, and there were also many small wooden carved ornaments inside. You could tell at a glance that they were carved by the little round-faced adult himself.
"This kid is really something." Su Dingguo said with emotion.
"These small objects were originally made by Dahong. I taught him a few times when I had nothing to do, and now he can carve them so well."
There are also some wooden carved animals, wooden chopsticks, wooden bowls and other things that are very simple and sincere.
Su Mu was very moved. The little round-faced lady was so sincere. She remembered all the skills her family taught her and the food their family made for her, and she learned very well and seriously. She also gave him a lot of gifts before she left.
"Look, little sister! There is another Wangcai here!" The third brother was holding a wooden sculpture of Wangzai that was the size of two palms.
"This is too similar!"
"How long has it taken adults to learn this? They have already carved out a Wangcai."
"Woof woof woof." Wangcai looked at the miniature version of it and kept barking, his tail wagging like a spinning paddle.
"Wangcai likes it too, right?"
"Wang Wang!"
The whole family is very happy and touched. You are kind to others, and they see your kindness and respond with the same sincerity.
Put all the things away carefully, and put the ornaments out for display. In the end, I actually found a tightly wrapped package of meat inside. The little round-faced man really didn’t forget to bring the ingredients as always!
"Mumu, I made this cape for you. Don't get cold if you run around every day."
"Here we come, mother."
The hooded cape is red in color, embroidered with flying butterflies and flowers, and has a circle of fur, which looks warm and furry.
"The circle next to it is rabbit fur, would you like to try it on, Mumu?"
Su Mu put on the cloak and immediately felt the warmth.
"The lining of this cloak is made of very dense fabric, which is very windproof. It looks really good on Mumu."
Su Mu's fair little face looks even whiter against the backdrop of the red cloak, with black hair, red lips, fair skin, and eyes that blink with a lot of brightness.
"Mom, this cape is so beautiful and very warm. Mom's craftsmanship is so good!"
Su Mu touched the cloak on his body. It would definitely not be cheap if he bought it.
"As long as Mumu likes it, wear it and go have fun."
"it is good."
Su Mu ran out wearing a cloak and prepared to fry chestnuts with his third brother and the others. The chestnuts in the space were already ripe.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, let's go to the river to get some river sand so we can come back and fry some chestnuts."
The others saw Sumu running towards them wearing a large cloak with a red hood.
"Little sister, this is the new cape that mother made for you."
"Yeah!" Su Mu raised her head proudly and turned around to show off her new cloak to the others.
"It looks good!"
"Beautiful, my little sister is the prettiest!" The third brother was the first to raise his hand to praise. As the little sister, he had to be the first to praise her at this moment.
The eldest brother and the second brother also praised him without hesitation.
"Okay, okay, I'm not that good." Su Mu waved his hands pretending to be modest, as he was about to be praised.
"Let's go fry some chestnuts." Su Mu looked at his cloak. Roasting chestnuts would require some sand, and he didn't want to get his cloak wet.
"Wait for me to put away the cloak, then we'll go to the creek." Su Mu went back to the house, took off his cloak, folded it and put it in the closet.
"Let's go." Several people took a few baskets for draining water and a wooden barrel.
The stream is full of rounded pebbles and sand particles of various sizes washed by the flowing water.
"Let's find this kind of stone, which is slightly larger than soybeans." Su Mu took a few stones and showed them in front of his three brothers.
"it is good."
Take the drain basket, scoop a basin of stones, pick out the larger stones, and you will have a perfect basin of stones for roasting chestnuts.
After returning, the four of them cleaned the stones thoroughly. "Is it okay for me to clean them to this extent?"
"Okay! Second brother is great!" Su Mu responded with a thumbs up as a compliment.
Su Mu first cut a hole in the chestnuts with a knife and steamed them in a steamer for ten minutes.
These clean sands and gravels need to be put into the pot and fried. After frying for a while, add oil and continue stir-frying.
"Nannan, are you frying stones to eat?!" Grandma looked at the pot of stones in disbelief.
