Luo Hao carried the hawthorns, drinking water and honey he bought, and walked towards the old man who was immersed in making candied haws. Please search () to see the most complete list! The fastest updated
The old man was very skilled in making candied haws. He held a narrow-edged knife of about two inches in his right hand to remove the head and tail of the hawthorn. Then he took the finished hawthorn in his hand, together with the previously processed hawthorns, and cut it with a piece of bamboo.
After the skewers are threaded, open a pot that is heating next to it, gently turn the hawthorn sticks on the foam of the boiled hot sugar, and wrap a thin layer on the hawthorn skewers; dip the hawthorn skewers in the sugar layer.
, the old man put the newly made candied haws on a water board to cool down.
After finishing the work at hand, the old man raised his head and found Luo Hao standing in front of the three-wheeler, and asked: "Young man, are you buying candied haws on a stick? I just finished making these, and they cost five yuan a bunch."
"Uncle, I want to learn how to make candied haws with you." Luo Hao expressed his intention to the old man.
"oh?"
The old man picked up the cloth and wiped his hands, and asked: "I have some that have just been finished here. Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to buy them directly? Do you think I didn't do it cleanly?"
The old man spoke in a somewhat unhappy tone.
Originally, when Luo Hao was watching from a distance, it was indeed out of this consideration that he thought of making candied haws on his own; but when he got closer and saw the process of the old man making candied haws, he gave up that idea and he
Now I want to learn how to make candied haws on a stick because Yunxi can make it by himself when he wants to eat candied haws on a stick in the future, instead of having to run around on the streets.
"Uncle, you are worrying too much." Luo Hao waved his hand and explained to the old man: "My wife likes to eat candied haws very much, but it is hard to find places that sell candied haws now. I hope I can learn to make it myself so that I can make it for her in the future.
If you do it, you no longer have to look for places selling candied haws on the street."
After hearing Luo Hao's explanation, the old man's face looked better. He looked at Luo Hao a few times and said, "Seeing you is like seeing myself when I was young. I went there because my wife likes to eat candied haws."
You can learn it. Since you want to learn it, I will teach you."
"In making candied haws, the most important thing is to boil the sugar and dip it in sugar. Nowadays, the sugar layer of the candied haws sold outside is coated by machines. There are not many craftsmen who can really boil the sugar by hand and dip it in sugar."
The old man glanced at the honey in Luo Hao's hand and said: "This sugar boiling is very particular. You can't make good sugar with just honey. Your bottle of honey can only be used to make pickled hawthorns, not candied haws."
.”
"Uncle, I will use the sugar you boiled in a moment, and I will give you this bottle of honey." Luo Hao pushed the honey in front of the old man and said.
"You have a quick mind." The old man laughed and said, "Okay, then I will accept this bottle of honey. Old man, I can't suffer a loss, right?"
Luo Hao stood aside and followed the old man to learn how to handle and skewer hawthorns. This skewering of hawthorns seemed simple, but it was really not easy to operate. At first, Luo Hao skewered several hawthorns one after another, and he still skewered them.
There were several cuts on his fingers.
After working for more than half an hour, Luo Hao finally found the trick under the old man's guidance and quickly got started. Before long, he had made more than ten skewers.
"Okay, this bunch of hawthorns is just the foundation, dipping them in sugar is the knowledge." The old man waved his hand to Luo Hao, who was still busy, and said: "This dipped in sugar, the sugar layer should not be dipped too thickly. If you bite it in one bite, you won't be able to bite the hawthorns.
It won't work. For a successful candied haws, the sugar layer on the outside of the hawthorn should be thin and crisp, and not sticky to the teeth at all. You can try what I made." With that, the old man handed Luo Hao a prepared candied haws.
.
Luo Hao took a bite, and it was really crunchy and not sticky at all. It was also sweet and sour, very delicious.
While Luo Hao was following the old man to learn how to dip hawthorns in sugar coating, Han Mei was driving towards the hospital, with Qin Manlan sitting in the passenger seat. After Han Mei sent the chicken soup to Luo Hao, she remembered that she had left it at home.
When he didn't get the fruit, he hurried back to get it and took Qin Manlan with him to the hospital.
"Isn't that Xiao Xi's car?" Qin Manlan pointed at Luo Hao's Audi A5 parked at the entrance of the alley and said, "Why did this girl run out?"
Han Mei stopped the car and looked into the alley, just in time to see Luo Hao holding hawthorn skewers and learning the sugar layer.
"It's Xiaohao, he seems to be making candied haws on a stick?" Qin Manlan looked at Han Mei with a puzzled look.
"It must be that girl Xiao Xi wanted to eat candied haws, so Xiao Hao came out to buy it. This girl has liked eating this thing since she was a child." Han Mei said: "Xiao Hao probably thought about the time when Xiao Xi wanted to eat it again.
I can do it myself, so I learned it here.”
"For that girl Xiaoxi, Xiaohao is really willing to do anything." Qin Manlan said with emotion.
"When Xinting left, the one who worried most was Xiao Xi. Now that she can find a good home, Xinting knows her well, so she doesn't have to worry about that girl anymore." Han Mei sighed and said, "Before, I was always the matchmaker.
Looking at Xiao Xi and Xiao Ke, it seems that Xiao Xi has a better vision than any of us. Last time I heard the old man called and said that the matter of 'Dragon Thorn' can be settled when Xiao Hao comes back. I guess it will be settled in the next few days.
There will be news."
"If my girl can be as good as Xiao Hao, no, as long as she is half as good as Xiao Hao, I can laugh even when I sleep." Speaking of her daughter, Qin Manlan's eyes flashed with worry.
Qin Manlan's daughter is called Yun Bing. She is very beautiful and highly educated. But she just can't sit still and runs around. Some time ago, she went to Africa to shoot the rainy season prairie, which made Qin Manlan angry for several days.
"Let's go to the hospital first." Han Mei put down the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator, and said to Qin Manlan: "Since we have driven Xiaohao out to buy candied haws, that girl Xiaoxi must have woken up."
Luo Hao tried several times, but still couldn't dip the sugar layer evenly into the hawthorns. It was either too thick, or one side was thin and the other was thick. This made Luo Hao very distressed.
"Young man, it's not a day to freeze three feet, and the same goes for candied haws dipped in sugar." The old man said to Luo Hao with a smile: "It's getting late, it's time for me to close the stall, remember what I told you about boiling sugar.
The ratio and the tips for dipping sugar will become familiar after you go back and practice a few more times.”
Luo Hao raised his hand and looked at his watch, only to realize that he had been out for almost three hours. He hurriedly apologized to the old man and wanted to give him money; but the old man smiled and waved his hand, pointing to the bottle of honey and the half bag.
Hawthorn said: "These are enough for tuition."
Luo Hao packed the bunches of candied haws he made in paper bags, said goodbye to the old man, walked to the car, drove away, and began to guess what Yunxi's reaction would be when he ate the candied haws he made.
