Home-style fried chestnuts
Overview
Every time I walk on the street, I can smell the strong aroma of roasted chestnuts. I wonder if you have ever experienced that feeling of wanting to eat but afraid to buy them. Chestnuts sold outside are said to have added pigments and a lot of bacteria. Many chestnuts in the supermarket are rotten, so this morning when I was going grocery shopping, I saw a vendor selling wild chestnuts, and I bought two kilograms of them without hesitation. At 5 yuan per pound, it’s much cheaper than in supermarkets!
