Chapter 8, Zhao Ji helps
After the meal, Yao Xing took Zhao Zheng, who was going to study, to wash the hawthorns and use chopsticks to poke out the cores. After flattening the hawthorns and skewering them together, he boiled water and boiled the caramel, which was placed outside the hawthorn skewers.
Coat it with syrup.
After cooling, Yao Xing presented it to Zhao Zheng like a treasure: "Try it quickly, it's sour and sweet. It's delicious."
Zhao Zheng took a bite and nodded: "It's indeed delicious."
It's not bad after all. Otherwise, with so much sugar, my mother will refuse to take medicine next time she gets sick.
Zhao Zheng never eats the candy at home. He only eats it when giving Zhao Ji medicine. Although he accompanies Yao Xing to fool around when Yao Xing wants to make candy, he is also worried that if Yao Xing fails, the candy will be wasted.
Already.
"What do you think we sell these candied haws on the street?" Yao Xing asked excitedly.
Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head: "We can't sell things on the street, no one will buy them, and we will be robbed."
Yao Xing then remembered that it was written in the book that Qin Shihuang was always bullied by the people around him when he was in Zhao State, and he didn't expect that he would be robbed of his things. No wonder Zhao Ji had new fabric jewelry, while Zhao Zheng always wore the same clothes.
They were wearing patches because someone sent them supplies, but Zhao Zheng couldn't wear them.
"Then what if I sell it?" Yao Xing was unwilling to accept that such a good idea could not be used, and watched the small money slip away from her hands.
Zhao Ji happened to wake up from sleep. When she saw the mess in the kitchen, she was not angry. Instead, she looked very happy: "Have you prepared something delicious?"
Zhao Ji couldn't expect something made from wild fruit, and Yao Xing knew that she didn't want to suppress her child's thoughts.
"Auntie, try it!" Yao Xing handed the candied haws to Zhao Ji.
After taking a bite, Zhao Ji found that it tasted really good. After tasting it twice more, she asked, "I just heard you say that you want to sell the candied haws on the street?"
Before Yao Xing could speak, Zhao Zheng explained the whole thing in very brief words. Yao Xing wanted to sell the candied haws on the street, but their status was inconvenient.
Zhao Ji thought for a moment, glanced at Yao Xing's expectant eyes, and finally nodded: "Auntie will find a way for you."
Zhao Ji went out that night, and a middle-aged man came over the next day. He carried a stick, one end of the stick was wrapped with cotton cloth, and he pierced the bamboo sticks of the candied haws one by one into the thick
Secure in cotton cloth.
Zhao Ji smiled and said to Yao Xing: "This is Uncle Liao. Just follow Uncle Liao to sell candied haws on the street."
"What about little brother?" Yao Xing couldn't believe a stranger, even if he was found by Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji glanced at Zhao Zheng and found that Zhao Zheng also looked eager to try, but did not follow Zhao Zheng's intention: "Zheng'er is different from you. You can learn what you like and do what you like, and your aunt will help you.
Zheng'er protects you, but Zheng'er has something he must do. Before this thing is completed, he can't do everything he wants to do."
Yao Xing glanced at Zhao Zheng and found that he was not lonely or sad. Instead, he no longer wanted to go out to play. He nodded obediently and followed Uncle Liao out.
Ambition and playfulness belong to Zhao Zheng, but he gave up playfulness in ambition and playfulness. This was his own choice, not a forced abandonment. Yao Xing, on the other hand, did not have much ambition, he just wanted to rely on
