Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Gu Qingzhi calmed herself down and added the medicinal powder into the pot from left to right and stir-fried it. Soon, bursts of tempting aroma came from the kitchen.

Gu Wang, who was in the front hall, naturally also smelled the fragrance.

She thought of the powder she had just seen. Was this Qing'er's little secret? Her daughter had grown up and now had her own little secrets.

But where did she learn this?

When Gu Qingzhi finished stir-frying all the ingredients, she was already sweating profusely. She took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face. Oh, nothing is easy!

Now, you can start making sugar-roasted chestnuts.

She found salt and sugar in the cupboard and scooped some out into different bowls.

Wash the pot, dry it, pour in salt, and while the salt is still cold, pour in the drained chestnuts. When to add the chestnuts is critical.

Then stir-fry slowly over low heat so that the chestnuts are heated evenly. Otherwise, the chestnuts will be unevenly cooked and some will even burn.

When she saw the chestnuts slowly expanding, Gu Qingzhi endured the soreness in her hands and increased the frequency of stir-frying. The salt grains that had previously stuck to the chestnut shells had now slowly fallen off.

When the salt color gradually turns darker, you can add sugar. She scooped a large spoonful of white sugar and sprinkled it evenly and slowly on the swollen chestnuts.

After adding the white sugar, the salt grains began to become sticky and gradually turned black. At the same time, the sugar caramelized and the aroma of caramel filled the air. At this time, Gu Qingzhi kept increasing the speed of stir-frying, so that the spatula could be inserted from the bottom of the pot and float up, to ensure that the caramel would not stick to the bottom of the pot.

When the salt is no longer sticky, drain the chestnuts, scoop out the salt and pour the chestnuts back into the pot. Add the fried seasonings and stir-fry for a while. Waves of tempting aroma will fill the air, and the whole kitchen will be filled with this sweet fragrance.

Gu Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. She jumped off the stool, took out the firewood from the stove, covered the pot and continued to simmer. This was the only way to ensure that the chestnuts were fully cooked and the aroma would penetrate into the chestnuts.

Phew, after completing the whole process, she felt hot and weak all over, and was sweating all over.

She had been in a state of high tension before, but now that she had relaxed, she felt a little exhausted. She sat down on the stool in front of the stove, shook her sore hands, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face.

It was a bit exciting. I was nervous the whole time, but only until I calmed down now did I feel sore all over, my arms were weak, my feet were shaking, and it seemed like my limbs were not my own.

But she still felt comforted in her heart. Smelling the tempting sweet aroma, she thought that the roasted chestnuts she made should be successful, right?

After sitting and resting for a while, Gu Qingzhi calculated the time and thought it should be about time. She lifted the lid of the pot. Wow, it smelled so good. The color of the chestnuts was also very beautiful, golden brown, and the skin smelled fragrant.

It looks delicious!

She quickly scooped a spoonful and put it into a clean bowl. After thinking for a while, she picked up the spatula and stir-fried it a few times, then put the lid back on.

The chestnuts just out of the pot were both fragrant and hot, so she quickly took them out to cool down. They were too hot. She wanted to eat them but was afraid of burning her hands, and there was no clean towel at hand.

She had already used the one she had just used to wipe her sweat.

Just as she was worrying about what to do, someone came into the kitchen.

"Qingqing, Second Aunt said you were in the kitchen, what were you doing?" The man walked up to her in two or three steps.

Hearing this familiar voice, isn’t it Brother Gu Yan?

She didn't care about anything else and was pleasantly surprised to see him, "Brother, why did you come back so early today?"

Gu Yan walked up to her and briefly explained his whereabouts, "I just went to the mountain to reinforce the fence."

"What is this?" Gu Yan's attention was attracted by the contents of the small bowl in front of Gu Qingzhi.

As soon as I entered the yard, I smelled a fragrance. It seemed to be the thing in front of me? Is this a hairy chestnut?

"Brother, try this. These are the chestnuts I just fried." Gu Qingzhi proudly pushed the small bowl in front of Gu Yan.

Fortunately, he had washed his hands in the yard when he came back just now. Gu Yan sat down and picked up a chestnut with his right hand. "Is this the raw chestnut that Qingqing just fried?"

Yeah, Gu Qingzhi looked at Gu Yan with her big eyes and nodded happily. Her dark eyes looked expectantly at her brother as he peeled a chestnut and put it into his mouth. Ah, I want to eat it so much!

"Delicious! Qingqing is great!" Gu Yan ate one and found that his sister was looking at her eagerly. Then he looked again and saw that there was nothing in front of her. Could it be?

"Qingqing, have you tasted it yet?" Gu Yan asked, trying not to laugh.

"Brother, the chestnuts are so hot that they have burned Qingqing's hands red." Gu Qingzhi stretched out her hands aggrievedly, but the child felt wronged. Who doesn't want to eat delicious chestnuts? But the skin of the child is too thin and tender.

Gu Yan looked at the little hand raised in front of him. Indeed, the fingertips were red, and his heart softened. Qingqing's skin was so tender.

Thinking about it, his subordinates were not slow in their movements. They took out a clean small bowl from the cupboard, peeled several of them and put them in the bowl in a short while. Then they pushed the bowl in front of Gu Qingzhi and said softly, "Qingqing, eat."

Wow, Gu Qingzhi's eyes lit up as she looked at Li Zi in front of her, "Thank you, brother."

She couldn't wait to pick one up and take a bite. Wow, it was sweet and delicious. It not only preserved the freshness of the chestnut, but also had another kind of crispness and sweetness. It was much more delicious than boiled chestnuts.

It seems that this recipe is good, I must save it well!

Seeing that Gu Qingzhi had finished the whole bowl of roasted chestnuts, Gu Yan jokingly poured her a bowl of warm water and said, "Don't just eat the chestnuts. Drink some water. Be careful not to choke."

"Thank you, brother." Gu Qingzhi took the bowl and drank it in small sips.

"Do you want more?" Gu Yan didn't know how much Gu Qingzhi had fried. He ate just one of the chestnuts because he was afraid that his sister wouldn't have enough.

Gu Qingzhi burped, "Uh, brother, no more, there's still a lot in the pot, do you want Qingqing to serve you a bowl?"

She ate almost all of the food in the bowl. She saw her brother only eat one and then peeled some for her.

A lot? Gu Yan raised his eyebrows, walked to the stove and opened the lid of the pot. The fragrance instantly became stronger. Just smelling it made him want to have a good meal.

Indeed, there are a lot.

He filled a bowl, thought for a moment, picked up the bowl and filled another bowl, covered the pot, and put two bowls of roasted chestnuts on the table.

Why did my brother serve two bowls?

"Qingqing, ask Second Aunt to come over and try it."

Oh, it turned out to be for A Niang. She was instantly ashamed. She had completely forgotten to call A Niang when she was eating just now. After reflecting on herself, she jumped out to call for help.

Gu Wangshi didn't expect that her daughter was frying chestnuts in the kitchen. The aroma just now was so tempting, but when she thought that this might be her daughter's little secret, she didn't interfere, until her daughter called her just now and said mysteriously that she would know when she came...
