Chapter 61: Secret Formula

  Tian Guihua finished dinner and began gossiping with her neighbors, saying some unpleasant things that soon reached the ears of Er Gouzi and others.

  They picked up chestnuts for an afternoon and when they returned home to have dinner, they heard this and immediately rushed to Tuni's house after hastily finishing their meal.

  Because Zhong Gensheng is going with them tomorrow, in the afternoon, Tuni was basically peeling and roasting chestnuts. With the help of three brothers, they managed to roast 150 kilograms, busy until nightfall, before starting to cook dinner. Er Gouzai ran over, rushing into the courtyard, shouting: "Tuni, you're selling chestnuts for five cents a kilogram?! Why did you only give us one cent?!"

  Zhong Gensheng and He Axiu were completely unaware of this matter, and suddenly looked at her in a daze.

  Shen Sisi suddenly put down the knife, glanced at Er Gouzi with a hint of anger, and asked calmly, "Do you guys know how to stir-fry chestnuts? Do you know how much seasoning to add?"

  The two dogs were stunned and subconsciously shook their heads.

  "That's right, because you won't, so I can sell for five cents, and you can only collect one cent..." Shen Sisi smiled.

  The two dogs were stunned and then said: "Then I can fry it myself, I heard it can be sold for two cents."

  "Then go and try it yourself, no one is stopping you..." Shen Sisi knew that this guy wouldn't be satisfied with earning this little money unless he suffered a bit.

  Two dogs are also stunned, and they don't know whether it's better to earn a few cents for the local girl or to make a profit by selling them in the city.

  The three treasures said somewhat unhappily, "We can sell for five cents because we added salt and sugar. Do you know how expensive salt and sugar are now? Five cents isn't all profit, the cost is high! We make at most two cents per catty, and still have to give one cent to you. Are we cheating you?"

  The second treasure also said with a bit of discontent: "We are all from the same village, we won't bully you, if you don't want to give us chestnuts, we won't force you, you can sell them yourselves, what's wrong with that?!"

  The two dogs were somewhat hesitant, they didn't know whether to sell for two coins or one coin themselves. After thinking about it, the charm of silver won out, and hesitantly said: "...... Let's go sell them ourselves."

  The villagers are all talking about Tuniu's black heart, refusing to teach how to make the secret recipe for sugar-fried chestnuts, and not letting others earn this money. Er Gouzi hesitated and muttered: "...... Who believes that selling five cents can only earn two cents?! Otherwise, why don't you hand over the secret recipe?!"

  Shen Sisi slightly narrowed her eyes, and said in a dangerous tone: "Who says I didn't take out the secret recipe?! I've already told Xiaohua, Xiaohua's whole family knows about it, who spread this rumor?! Tian Guilhua?! Why don't you go ask her how she makes fried chestnuts? She can't bear to add salt and sugar, yet sells them for less than five cents and still comes back to the village to slander me?! Er Gouzi, go tell Xiaohua to inform you too. If you carefully make it according to my recipe, you can at least sell it for four cents. However, think about it carefully, if you want to sell it for five cents, the cost will be high too, and you need to grasp the timing well. I'm just reminding you once, so you won't suffer a loss later and then say we're not being fair..."

  The two dogs stared blankly and said: "Who knows if the secret recipe you told Xiaohua is right or not?!"
