White sugar...um...this place is called Sugar Frost.
In this era, hawthorn is not called hawthorn, but red fruit.
Yeah, frosting, add red fruits.
First, boil the icing sugar in a pot until it becomes syrupy, then put the red fruits in it and coat it with icing sugar, and finally take it out and put it on an iron plate aside to cool.
Since there was no sign, I had to use chopsticks instead.
However, the chopsticks are really short and can only be inserted four or five at a time.
After it is done, place the candied haws on a plate. The hawthorn wrapped in sugar syrup will become crystal clear and translucent when exposed to a little light, making it look very attractive.
Xu Qing picked up a bunch and put it in his mouth to taste it. It was sweet and sour, as expected of me!
Xiao Ruxue hasn't been to Xu Qing's house for two or three days, and she doesn't know what she did.
Otherwise, Xu Qing is sure that a little girl like Xiao Ruxue would like to eat this sweet and sour candied haws.
But it doesn't matter if Xiao Ruxue doesn't come. Su Qian has no resistance to delicious food, so she will definitely be happy to eat this kind of candied haws.
Although this food is for children, but... who is not a child anymore?!
"Xu Qing!"
A shrill voice from a girl came in from outside.
There were only two women who entered Xu Qing's house without knocking, one was Su Qian and the other was Xiao Ruxue.
However, the voice that came in just now was obviously Xiao Ruxue's voice.
Some people really can't help but talk about it, and they just come as they say.
So Xu Qing walked out with this candied haws of water with only one red fruit in hand.
Xiao Ruxue looked at the... unique thing in Xu Qing's hand, which was a bit strange.
What is this thing that looks like a gourd?
Xu Qing symbolically handed the candied haws in his hand forward: "Candied haws, do you want to eat?"
Xiao Ruxue turned her head proudly and said: "I don't want it!"
This is very cute, just as cute as Su Qian two months ago.
Xu Qing likes such polite girls.
So Xu Qing took another bite and said, "Why are you here with me?"
Xiao Ruxue sat on the table next to Xu Qing, lying half of her body on it and said: "Our bookstore has been open for three days, and no one has come. Everyone has gone to Kaiyuan Bookstore...
"
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue who was in a depressed mood, took another bite of candied haws and comforted her: "We are newly opened, this is normal, otherwise I would be too busy to go to Routine Kaiyuan Bookstore."
Xiao Ruxue, an arrogant little princess who was pampered like a baby, grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. With her self-confidence that she was the best in the world, she felt that she should be the best, so she opened a restaurant
The bookstore wanted to compete with all the bookstores in Yongzhou City on the first day.
If you can't compare, you will be unhappy and sad.
Typical child mentality, how can doing business be so simple?
A baby like Xu Qing understands the principle of accumulation very well. Not only is he not flustered or irritable, he can also find time to play a few games of backgammon with his female boss.
"Gugu..."
Xu Qing looked at his belly and saw that the sound was not coming from himself.
Then he looked at Xiao Ruxue who was lying on the side.
If Xu Qing remembers correctly, Xiao Ruxue is the highest-status little princess in Prince Xian's palace. Prince Xian has to give way to her, so why is she still hungry?
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue lying on the table: "Are you hungry?"
Xiao Ruxue stood up and shook her head: "I don't want to eat!"
Don't want to eat?
Poor kid has anorexia?
But fortunately, this child is not my own child, and having anorexia is not something I should worry about, and there is no point in worrying about it.
Xu Qing believed that the imperial doctors in the palace would be more professional than himself.
"Click."
Xu Qing bit another piece and looked at Xiao Ruxue, who was lying on the side, in a daze.
Xiao Ruxue couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva as she watched.
The taste of this red agate-like thing seems to be very tempting. Why can he eat it so much like it?
While refusing, Xu Qing said: "Tsk, tsk, the rock sugar is still delicious, but the syrup made from the icing sugar is still not crisp enough."
"Something failed, try harder next time!"
"By the way, how do you make rock candy?"
Xu Qing ate and murmured to himself again and again, commenting on the shortcomings of his first experimental results.
Although Xiao Ruxue's stomach was already growling, she didn't feel hungry at all.
But it was different when Xu Qing was eating just now. He seemed to be eating very well and satisfied, and he successfully made her greedy.
Before Xu Qing could finish the last bunch of candied haws on the chopsticks, Xiao Ruxue jumped up and grabbed it, then stuffed the last candied haws into her mouth.
Because Xiao Ruxue's mouth is very small, this stuffing makes Xiao Ruxue look like a squirrel stuffed with chestnuts.
Xiao Ruxue held the candied haws in her mouth, her little tongue couldn't help but flick it in her mouth, and licked off a little bit of the candy melted by the temperature in her mouth.
It was sweet. After chewing it again, the sugar-coated fruit was a bit sour. The combination of sweet and sour taste gave Xiao Ruxue a wonderful feeling.
She swallowed the candied haws, then raised her head and looked at Xu Qing, saying, "I want more!"
Xu Qing pointed to the kitchen and said: "There are more there. If you want to eat, go get it yourself."
Xiao Ruxue immediately jumped down from the table and slipped towards the kitchen.
After all, I am a kid and I can’t resist the sweet and sour candied haws.
Just when Xu Qing was sighing for Xiao Ruxue, there was a knock on the door. There was only one person who could knock on the door so politely. Xu Qing raised his head and looked at Xiao Ye standing outside and said: "Brother Xiao, please come in."
Xiao Ye walked in and sat on the table and couldn't help but sigh.
Xu Qing asked curiously: "Brother Xiao is also sighing because no one comes to the shop?"
Xiao Ye sighed again and said, "I'm naturally unhappy that there's no one in the shop, but Xue'er's situation worries me even more."
Xu Qing asked curiously: "Xue'er? What happened to her?"
Xiao Ye said: "Brother Xu, you don't know that Xue'er was so angry that her heart collapsed because there were no customers in the bookstore she opened. She cried and made trouble in the palace, whimpering, so pitiful..."
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye and was stunned: "It turns out that Brother Xiao also plays..."
Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing and asked doubtfully: "What are you playing for?"
Xu Qing coughed: "Nothing...then what?"
Xiao Ye said: "She has been so depressed that she hasn't eaten much for several days. Her father has issued an order. Anyone who can cure Xueer's depression will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. Unfortunately, the royal family in the palace
The doctors are helpless...Brother Xu, you are so smart, do you have any good ideas?"
Xu Qing was stunned and said: "You just said how much money will be rewarded after the cure?"
Xiao Ye said: "A hundred taels of silver...it's a pity that even with such a reward, no one can cure him."
Xu Qing's expression suddenly changed, and then he rushed towards the kitchen...
