"This fried twist is an oil-intensive job, if it weren't for your brown sugar today, I wouldn't have spent so much money on such a pot of oil. ”

After three rounds of drinking, Lao Jin remembered the brown sugar that Zhou Kun was holding in his hand before eating, because the quality of the things produced in Kunyang Company before was very good, and the quality of condiments like brown sugar must not be too bad.

As soon as the jar of brown sugar was opened, Lao Jin smelled a special fragrance, and after careful identification, he found that the red candy brought back by Xiao Zhou was somewhat distinctive.

If Shen Guifen is here, she is afraid that she will scold Lao Jin, and she will stink, and she doesn't see such a diligent person on weekdays.

Lao Jin made brown sugar small twist, that is, crispy twist. Originally, according to Lao Jin's character, he was too lazy to get these things, but after drinking a little wine, Lao Jin seemed to be a different person, and he didn't have the lazy appearance he had before.

Such a trivial thing as making noodles couldn't be simpler for Lao Jin, and then frying twist in a frying pan can also be said to be done in one go.

The original white twist dough was rolled in the oil pan several times, and gradually began to deepen the color, until it turned golden brown and then Lao Jin quickly fished them out. The pot of boiling brown sugar here has not stopped, fortunately, Zhou Kun has boiled brown sugar cubes before, and he has a little understanding of the heat of boiling sugar.

"Almost, the syrup will rise quickly when it reaches this point, you have to look at it, once the syrup starts to become viscous, use chopsticks to pick a drop of syrup in cold water, it can condense into a solid in the shape of small droplets, it's almost, yes, yes, it's now!

With Lao Jin's command, Zhou Kun took the pot of syrup directly from the fire, and Lao Jin decisively poured the syrup on the fried twist with a large copper spoon, and then sprinkled sesame seeds evenly.

"Old Zhou, come and try it, see how your twist is!" said and handed it to Zhou Kun and his son to taste.

A twist flower in the mouth, the brown sugar on the outside is hard and crispy, the twist on the inside is crispy, and the rich taste in the mouth surprised Zhou Kun, he never thought that this common little twist flower could be so delicious.

The combination of simple things such as the caramel scent of brown sugar, the mellow taste of sesame seeds, and the crispy twist of flowers suddenly gives you the taste of the New Year in your memory.

"Lao Jin, they all say that you are the best cook in this community, originally I didn't feel anything, but now I can see it, you are hidden deeply! ”

To be honest, it is rare to taste the twist flowers with the same taste as when I was a child, they are all ready-made twists processed by food factories, although the taste is okay, but in Lao Zhou's opinion, there is no fragrance that he tasted during the New Year when he was a child.

"Dad, I'm afraid you don't know, Lao Jin was the chef in the restaurant before he retired, very powerful!"

"Shhh My mastery of the gas stove at home is not as good as our Guifen, so the dishes cooked may not be as delicious as those she makes, so I refuse to cook. ”

Lao Jin's words made Zhou Kun cry and laugh a little, it seems that he drank too much.

"Xiao Zhou, you help me pour this brown sugar juice, the group of mothers-in-law in the community are not there, it seems that I will take this batch of twist flowers to the activity room tomorrow and send them to everyone." ”

Saying that Lao Jin began to continue to fry twist flowers in the pot, after all, Lao Jin's family likes to share food with good people in the community, and every year during the New Year, steamed buns and snacks are continuous, and two days before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, various hard dishes such as lion's head will also be shared from Lao Jin's family to many people in Jinlan Famous Residence.

"Is there an activity room in the community?" Lao Zhou was very surprised, he was addicted to the courses of the University for the Elderly before, because he didn't know that there were still these activities in the community, and Lao Jin was always sent by Shen Guifen to send things recently, and the two of them became familiar with it.

"There are two activity rooms in our community, one is mainly to play cards, I personally don't like this, and there is an activity room where chess is played, will you be able to play chess? I'll take you to go shopping tomorrow?"

"Chess is good, I liked it before, but at that time, I was busy doing business and making money, where did I have the time to fiddle with these, and now my son has taken over the business in my hand, and he is doing so well, I just follow the happiness." ”

Lao Zhou's words made Zhou Kun feel quite sad when he heard it, making fruit is actually very hard, before his parents always came and went in the wind and rain, running around to deliver goods, and now he finally has the ability to let them take a break.

"Hello to your son, my son is not around, there are still twenty days to celebrate the New Year, and they should be able to come back by then." Lao Jin said enviously.

"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the activity room, what are the active people in it, I don't know a few people in the community, and I want you to introduce me when the time comes." Lao Zhou consciously diverted the topic, he had also heard that Lao Jin's children seemed to be working in other places, and he really didn't open any pot.

"That's no problem, Lao Zhou, how are your chess skills?

"Well, you can pass the time. Lao Zhou said modestly.

"That's it, then let's go to the door tomorrow first, you go to observe their skills, and then let's kill their sharpness, the activity is that there is a stinky old man named Lao Yang, is my rival, tomorrow I will show you, when the time comes, you can take a good look at the number of ways to play chess." ”

While talking, Lao Jin's work in his hands did not stop, and soon he began to mutter: "And I saw you always go out to walk the dog before, is your dog smart? That Lao Yang shows their dog named Keton in front of me every day is smart, I think your dog is no worse than them, let's bring the dog tomorrow and compare it with them." ”

Lao Jin was obviously not angry in the activity room before, and now after finding a teammate, he can't wait to kill in the activity room now.

"Dad, tomorrow I'll take 2,000 pomegranates to the ecological park to walk the dog, you and Uncle Jin can go to the activity room. "After all, the real identity of 2000 and Pomegranate is a big elf, and it is easy to get into other dogs when the time comes.

"Xiao Zhou, your brown sugar is really good, that... Can you get me some more?" said Lao Jin with some embarrassment, after all, this jar of brown sugar was almost at the bottom.

"It's okay, I'll get you two more cans tomorrow. ”

When they finally left Lao Jin's house, Zhou Kun and his son brought a large bag of brown sugar twist flowers, so many of which are estimated to be eaten until the New Year.
