By the third bunch, Xiao Qian seemed to have figured out a pattern. She picked up a bunch of yam beans, quickly rolled them in the syrup, quickly picked them up and stuffed them into Man Bao's hand. Man Bao immediately changed hands.
Give it to the big head.
The syrup on the top yam bean slowly fell down and landed on the second yam bean. When there was enough syrup on the second yam bean, it fell down again...
If it's a cold day, the hot syrup will form a thin layer of sugar crystals when exposed to the air, which is very beautiful.
Not to mention Datou and the others, even Man Bao couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw it.
It looks delicious.
Xiao Qian only had time to take a look, and then quickly stirred up the next yam beans.
Sugar will hang down. They didn't have anything to stick the yam beans in, so they could only hold it in their hands. Several children accidentally got their hands hung by the syrup and were reluctant to let go. They even stuck out their tongues to lick it, and their eyes were bright.
.
Man Bao looked at the yam beans in her hand and couldn't help but lick her hand. Well, it didn't taste the same as the candies she usually eats.
Manbao's eyes are sparkling.
It was also the first time for Keke to see a real thing, so when he saw Manbao opening his mouth to eat, he couldn't help but said: "Wait a little longer, wait until the candy is cold and solidified before eating?"
Man Bao then retracted her mouth and looked at the candied haws in her hands. She felt that she could not bear the pain alone, so she patted Datou and the others on their heads and did not allow them to eat. She said: "Wait until the candies are cold before eating them. This is called rock candied haws."
, If you want to eat it now, there will be no ice."
Datou swallowed his saliva and asked, "How cold does it have to be before you can eat it?"
"I don't know," Man Bao was also waiting eagerly, but she quickly thought of a way, "Let's go outside and wait. It's even colder outside."
Xiao Qian also thought they were in the way, so when he saw them running out, he stopped talking.
Old Zhoutou didn't know what they were doing in the kitchen, and he was shocked when he saw the children running out with bunches of candied haws in their hands.
After Zhou Lang had finished eating, he was about to go back to the house and lie down. When he saw the things in Man Bao's and others' hands, he stopped leaving immediately and even approached him and asked, "Where did you come from?"
Manbao and the others were squatting in rows in the yard to enjoy the cold wind. Hearing this, they said, "Sister-in-law made this for us."
Wu Lang immediately turned around and went to the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, I also want to eat candied haws!"
"These are all children's food. I made eight skewers in total."
Zhou Lang was sad when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he turned around and ran to find Man Bao.
Wu Lang and Zhou Lang, who were already resting in the house, heard Zhou Lang's voice and immediately opened the door and came out. When they saw Man Bao and his nieces and nephews each holding a bunch of candied haws, their mouths immediately watered and they came over to take a look, "This is really a big sister-in-law."
Made?"
"It's really amazing. It's even better than the ones sold on the street. Datou, can you give Uncle Wu a piece?"
Da Tou was not happy and turned around, facing him with his butt.
Liu Lang went to Erya, "Last time you asked me to buy a hairband for you, I bought it for you."
Erya was very reluctant to give up, but still said: "Just eat one."
Saturday Lang was happy, "No problem!"
His eyes began to glance at other people.
Zhou Lang and Wu Lang also immediately thought, who among the children present owed them a favor?
Including Man Bao, all of them had helped, and all of them had been begged for. The two of them laughed and started running around, cheating one piece from here and another from there.
Man Bao was the first to realize something was wrong. After all, the three of them got more yam beans. She hummed and refused to give them, so she simply ran back and got a big bowl, holding up the candied haws and waiting eagerly for them to cool down.
Lose.
"Why don't we just dial them all down and divide them evenly?"
Zhoulang happily agreed. But the average score Manbao mentioned included the whole family.
Datou and the others who had not yet reacted saw their sister-in-law running towards their grandmother holding a big bowl, and then they reacted.
The children pursed their lips. Although they were a little aggrieved, they also knew that they must first honor their elders.
Qian and Lao Zhoutou ate one. They touched Manbao's little head and said with a smile, "It's delicious. Just give one to your brother and sister-in-law, and you and your nephews and nieces will have the rest."
Let’s split it together.”
Man Bao happily agreed, but he couldn't just share it with his nephews and nieces, but also included his three brothers, four, five, and six.
But Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qianshi also shared one each. Xiao Qianshi said while eating: "It's not in vain that I spent so much candy."
Zhou Lang ate with gusto and said, "Sister-in-law, your cooking is even more delicious than the ones selling candied haws in the county."
Xiao Qian was delighted, "You can trick people with your mouth."
Man Bao immediately said: "Sister-in-law, I'm either trying to trick you or it's more delicious than the ones in the county. Their candied haws are made of sour hawthorn and are not delicious at all."
Mr. Wu said frankly: "It's still okay, but it's not as delicious as my sister-in-law's."
The big ones and the little ones were so full that they couldn't even lift their heads.
Xiao Qian thought thoughtfully, "Is it really better than the ones in the county?"
The four people who had eaten the candied haws in the county nodded fiercely and thought to themselves that they never lied.
Xiao Qian's heart became excited and she glanced at her husband.
But she didn't say anything. When everyone had finished eating, Manbao licked his fingertips with unfinished content, and regretfully wanted to go back to the room to study. Xiao Qian followed.
Avoiding family members, Xiao Qian asked her in a low voice: "Man Bao, how much does a bunch of candied haws sell for in the county?"
"Five cents a bunch."
Xiao Qian was speechless, "So expensive?"
I can buy five hard-boiled eggs.
"A big bunch of small ones." Man Bao added.
Xiao Qian almost couldn't help but slap her on the head, "Tell me, if my sister-in-law makes candied haws from yam beans and sells them, will anyone buy them?"
Man Bao nodded fiercely, "There must be some, yam beans are much more delicious than hawthorn."
Xiao Qian calculated the investment in brown sugar and felt that he could make quite a lot of money. After all, the yam beans were from the family and would not cost money.
Xiao Qian struggled for a while and said hesitantly: "Then, how many strings should I make and see?"
"Okay, okay, sister-in-law, do it now."
She can still eat one bunch after it's done, and then she'll eat another bunch tomorrow morning...
Man Bao wiped his mouth and encouraged Xiao Qian, "It's ready tonight. Let Fifth Brother and the others take it to the county town to try it out tomorrow."
"I don't want them to take it. It's not enough for them to eat. I'll let your eldest sister take it."
No matter who it is, it must be done tonight, and the haystacks must be tied with straw, otherwise it will be difficult to take the candied haws with you.
Whatever she wanted to do, Xiao Qian rolled up her sleeves and went out, asking her husband to tie up the haystacks for her. Manbao stopped reading and followed behind happily. She wanted to eat another bunch!
