Chapter 25: She Wants to Eat Maltose
Speaking of which, Bai Lu's skill in making sugar-fried chestnuts was learned from her grandfather in her later years.
In the era when her grandparents met, even earlier than the 90s where Bai Lu currently resides, her grandmother came from an educated family and was classmates with her grandfather.
Grandmother loved sugar-fried chestnuts, and back then, there were street vendors selling them. These vendors would push carts...

Chapter 24 She's Still Angry
To make sugar-fried chestnuts, the sugar syrup used is best made with the sweetest malt syrup, and honey can also be used.
White sugar... well, it's okay, but the sweetness is not high enough. However, you can adjust the water ratio.
Thinking about it, Bai Lu decided to give it a try, "Xiao Wei, can you help me clean the chestnuts?"
"Sure."
Regardless of what she could make, she decided to let her big brother ...

He never dared to imagine that she would do everything he hadn't even thought of. Not only did nothing happen, but his older brother even asked him to comfort her. Though he felt a bit disappointed, hoping that his older brother knocking on the door was to find him, he still wanted to be helpful.
Scratching his head, Xiao Wei tried to come up with a solution. "How about roasting sugarcane and chestnuts for you?"

Sheng Mingsi returned quite early today, but Jiang Chenchen was engrossed in studying in the study, so she didn't notice his arrival.
At dinner time, Jiang Chenchen intended to tell him about her plans to be away for three or four days. She thought of the excuse that she would accompany Xia Changli to her hometown.
Aunt Hua mentioned that Mr. Sheng was in the basement and instructed them to go ahead and have their meal.
