"What?" Xia Qiyue had just finished speaking. After quieting down, two doubtful voices sounded at the same time.
The two maltose sellers both asked in disbelief.
"Wrap them all up for me! Do I want them all?" Xia Qiyue took two steps forward, arrived in front of Boss Sven, and repeated.
"Okay, okay! I'll wrap it up for you right away!"
The person here was very excited, but the person opposite was a little depressed, his head was shaking, and he was no longer in the mood to hawk.
In fact, it was enough for Xia Qiyue to do it for the whole family, but she didn't just do it once, so she spoke generously when she looked at the boss opposite.
"Pack up all yours on the opposite side! I want them all!"
At this time, not only the two owners selling maltose were surprised, but even the owners selling other things next to them looked at Xia Qiyue with some longing.
I just wonder if she will tell me that she wants it all in the next second.
After Xia Qiyue gave the money to the two bosses, she emptied their stalls and left. She didn't want to say more. She didn't know when she would buy maltose next time, and it was pointless to say anything.
Besides, maltose was everywhere on the streets, so she didn’t necessarily have to buy it from both of their families. Maybe it would be safer to buy it separately.
When passing by the grain store, she walked in carrying two large bags of maltose, and after asking about it, she learned that they had millstones, but they were not open to the public, and they were used to grind the grain collected in the grain store and sell them.
"Shopkeeper, can you help me grind my grain? I can pay you accordingly!" Xia Qiyue didn't give up, she just wanted to taste what the rice grown in space tastes like.
"This... is fine, but I don't have time today. Come over tomorrow at noon and take a look!"
Some of the shopkeepers were not very willing, but Xia Qiyue said that he could give him some money, so he reluctantly agreed.
Seeing that the little girl looked like a maid in charge of a wealthy family, carrying so many things, he deliberately did not embarrass her.
After everything was settled, Xia Qiyue carried her things and walked back. She was very tired along the way, tired and cold, and her eyes were filled with tears and runny nose.
I sighed in my heart that life is not easy, and I have to move forward when I should.
When we got home, everyone was busy doing their own thing. Xia Qiyue went to the kitchen with maltose.
By the time she boiled a large pot of syrup, An Zihao and An Youde had already finished crushing the peanuts.
For the other five people, peeling peanuts has come to an end.
Xia Qiyue called the two people over and brought back the crushed peanuts.
"Now we're going to start making halva, do you want to learn?" Xia Qiyue asked, seeing the two of them looking at a large pot of syrup curiously.
"Is it okay?" An Zihao asked.
"Of course. In fact, if you are unhappy, I can't do it alone. But it's very hard to do this. If you don't want to learn, I can just ask other people. It's okay!"
An Youde's eyes lit up, "It's up to me. I'll learn. I'm not afraid of hard work!"
"I'll learn too!"
In this way, the two people who made halva were selected without passing through other people.
"Okay, it's just you two, let's start now! I'll do it again, and you two will learn from it!"
Don't worry about it in July, everything is ready, so hurry up and make it.
Pulling out the sugar is the hardest part here. You have to pull the sugar while it's hot, it's very hot.
The two of them watched carefully. Xia Qiyue's technique was not particularly skillful, but he explained the whole process while doing it, and the two of them were almost taught.
"It's very simple! I know it!" An Youde patted his chest and promised that he knew it.
"Where's Lao Wu?" Xia Qiyue looked at An Zihao and asked.
"I can do it too!" An Zihao nodded.
"Okay, let's do it together. It has to be cut while it's hot and cut into small cubes of the same size!" Xia Qiyue told the two of them while cutting.
The two of them nodded very seriously to understand, and then looked at the size of the halva several more times.
Not to mention, these two people have really good memories, so they started to follow the same process as Xia Qiyue.
When it came time to pull the candy, Xia Qiyue saw that the two of them were obviously better at pulling the candy than her, and they had strong hands.
However, the two of them were most careful about their clothes, as they were afraid that their new clothes would be ruined.
The three of them were busy making halva in the kitchen, almost losing track of time.
When it was time to make lunch, when Xia Jiuyue came to the kitchen, all the available space in the kitchen was used, leaving no room for cooking.
"Sister..." Xia Jiuyue opened the door and came in, looked at it for a while and called out.
Xia Qiyue, whose hands were extremely hot and was touching her ears, raised her head and looked over. She saw that it was her sister, who must be making lunch.
"Wait a minute, it's almost done. After that, you can make lunch! If the syrup becomes hard, you have to boil it again!"
An Youde, who was addicted to making halva, said, "Sister Jiuyue, if we are not hungry, we can have wine together in the evening!"
An Zihao also took the time to raise his head and express, "I'm not hungry!"
"Okay! But the children have to eat... Then I'll come over later!"
After Xia Jiuyue left, the three of them worked for another half an hour before they were done.
The hard ones were put away, and Xia Qiyue put them in the big wooden basin in the kitchen. "Huh... finally done."
"Fourth sister-in-law, although this is not very tiring, it is too hot." An Youde sighed as he looked at his red palms.
It's easy to do, it's really easy to do, it's not tiring, it's just too hot.
Xia Qiyue's own hands were also very hot. "I'll ask Yue Yue to make some pairs of gloves later!"
Later generations of confectioners all wore anti-scalding gloves. How could they avoid getting burned if they went into battle with bare hands?
"What are gloves?" An Youde's curious baby came online.
"You'll know when it's done! Okay, put away all the hard ones and let September come over to make lunch! Let's go pack it!"
After Xia Qiyue ordered the two people, she returned to her room. Taking advantage of the convenience of no one in the room, she took out all the empty milk bottles piled up in the space.
After drinking, she washed it out and kept it. Now it's clean and dry, so it's just right for use.
The milk bottle and the colored oil paper and string on the lid were removed.
She used the basket to hold the space. Now she could take it out and carry it. She directly lifted the basket up and went to the west wing.
Five people in the west wing were collecting peanut shells. When they saw Xia Qiyue coming in with a basket, they all looked over curiously.
"Hurry up and do other work!" Xia Qiyue greeted, "Sijin, go ask Youde and Zihao to move the candy here! Xinghe, go get a few pairs of chopsticks, manpower
A pair!”
"good!"
"Okay, sister!"
The two people put down what they were holding and ran outside.
The others were tidying up even harder. Smelling the sweet aroma of peanuts, some of them moved faster.
As soon as the peanut shells were cleaned out, the halva over there was moved over.
Xia Qiyue asked them to put them in the middle of the table, and then asked everyone to sit around and do it.
"Now I will tell you the packaging process. Listen carefully! Do it well! Do it carefully!"
