It was said a few years ago that Ge's family in the third year of junior high school would return to his parents' house, and Li Qin's family in the fourth year of junior high school would be treated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info After the third year of junior high school, everyone can move around freely, and there are more people, which is more interesting.

For the gathering on the fourth day of junior high school, Li Qin also prepared a lot.

Before the Chinese New Year, they bought Maoyu, peanuts, red dates, persimmon cakes, caramel and other things for snacks, and on meals, they bought all kinds of meat, fish, kelp, sea rice, etc., it is said that it is more than enough to entertain people, but considering the relationship between the Ge family and Yu Fei, and the care he has always taken care of them, Li Qin always feels that he should do his best.

Although Li Qin said that he had suffered in his previous life, he didn't have much feeling about the word "poor". Therefore, she knows that she wants to make money, but she will not worry much about spending money. A few years ago, she borrowed five taels of silver from the Ge family, which was enough for two or three years of ordinary people's expenses, but Li Qin didn't save at all, and she had enough money to make money, so she spent almost half a month after moving to the town. From cloth to bedding, from staple food to snacks, she is not stingy at all, and she has a full house.

At this time, after eating, I had nothing to do, so I started the idea of making sugar gourds.

The two of them ate rock sugar gourd once a year ago, and they liked the sweet and sour feeling very much, but after all, sugar gourds are not available all the time, so Li Qin and Yu Fei bought half a pocket of hawthorn back.

As soon as Yu Fei heard that he was going to make sugar gourds, his heart was excited, and he was busy and went out to start cutting apricot sticks, preparing to make strings of sugar gourds.

Li Qin washed the hawthorns in the house, then cut them in half horizontally and took out the core.

It's easy to say, but it's hard to do. Yu Fei's signature was quickly made more than 20 pieces, but Li Qin's hawthorn only cut half of the clay pot.

It's getting late, and the sugar gourd can't be finished. In addition, they were still very tired for the past two days, so the two stopped working and went to sleep directly. But before that, Li Qin was still soaking a lot of small beans, and casually put red beans and white sugar in a pot with residual temperature, and added a little soybean oil.

The next morning, the two of them first cleaned up the house inside and out, and Li Qin soaked all the ingredients that should be prepared. The two of them simply ate breakfast and continued to work on the sugar gourd.

The red beans stewed last night have burst at this time, but there is still a certain distance from becoming bean paste. Li Qin asked Yu Fei to increase the fire, and she turned it over with a shovel for a while, and finally turned it into a sweet and soft red bean paste.

With Yu Fei's help, the speed of cutting hawthorn was also much faster, and after a while, a clay pot with a sharp child was made.

At this point, you can string sugar gourds. The two of them put the hawthorn right and put it on the skewer one by one. After wearing a few strings, Li Qin had a whimsical idea to fill the previously made bean paste into the hawthorn, and such hawthorn was sandwiched. Later, I thought it was good to put some peanut kernels, so I picked up some fried peanut kernels and stuffed them into the hawthorn. Sometimes you can't fit it all in, so you just leave it exposed, and it looks good in a string.

It's just that the bamboo skewers are used up, and the hawthorn is still left. Yu Fei went out to cut a few more, but Li Qin shook his head and signaled that he didn't need to.

I remember that when I was in Beijing before, sugar gourd was a snack for commoners, and nobles rarely ate this. But everyone often eats sugar snowballs.

Sugar snowballs and sugar gourds are similar, but the difference is that a little white vinegar is added to the making of sugar snowballs. In the eyes of ordinary people, the sugar gourd is skewered, crystal clear and as ice-like. The sugar snowballs are separate, white as jade on the outside, like snow.

The hawthorn used to make the sugar snowball does not need to be cut, so Li Qin uses chopsticks to verify the hawthorn, so as to ensure that it is a ball and not a piece.

As soon as the materials were ready, I heard someone enter the yard. As soon as the two went to the ground, it was Aunt Ge's family.

Although they had already met on the first day of junior high school, they were in trouble at that time, and everyone didn't greet each other properly.

"What are you doing here? Make your own sugar gourd?" Sister-in-law Ge was now very impressed by some of Li Qin's novel ideas, and she was busy asking as soon as she saw it.

"yes, you guys came a little early, and you haven't done it yet. Li Qin smiled, "But there is food on the kang, you can eat first." ”

"Wow, Sister Xiaoqin, it's so hearty!" Ge Xiaoyun said happily, and then couldn't wait to take off her shoes and put on the kang, "And the big cat! Wow, I have to touch it!" As he spoke, he stretched out his claws to the two lazy lynxes on the kang, rubbed them all together, narrowed the eyes of the two guys, and made a comfortable purring sound.

Li Qin was really speechless for these two guys, but Aunt Ge said, "It's twelve years after the New Year, why are you still so unstable?"

Ge Xiaoyun stuck out her tongue, "I haven't passed my natal year yet, I'm still a child." ”

Aunt Ge then remembered, "Yo, don't say I forgot, Xiaoqin is thirteen this year, and it's the year of her birth." Did you buy a red belt to tie?"

Li Qin replied with a smile, "I bought it all years ago, and I'm tying it now!"

"That's good!" Aunt Ge said, "It's easy to make a mistake in the natal year, wear a red belt to avoid it, and it will be smooth." ”

Li Qin nodded, "My cousin-in-law told me before, I remember it!"

Li Qin mentioned Hu Yuan and his wife, and Aunt Ge inevitably asked some questions, so Li Qin said truthfully. None of this is a secret, and sooner or later everyone in town will know about it.

"It's also bitter for those two children. Aunt Ge sighed, "I didn't see it before, this Ding is really a good person." It can be seen that this person can't just look at his appearance. ”

Hu Ding's face looks a little mean, but after getting along, I know how strong and smart she is, of course, maybe it is because Li Qin sees people from a different perspective in this life, so he gets along with Hu Ding so happily.

The big guys are all sitting on the kang, but Sister-in-law Ge is a little impatient, "Xiaoqin, aren't you going to make sugar gourds? Is it difficult? I drooled when I looked at it, why are you still sitting so steadily." ”

Aunt Ge tapped her head, "Look at your useless appearance." ”

Li Qin also covered his mouth and smiled, "Auntie, didn't you say before that I was like a little rich and lost money?

Sister-in-law Ge was not annoyed, "Aren't I doing business for the two of us?

"Okay, good!" Li Qin got off the ground with a smile, and then looked at Sister-in-law Ge again, "Then why don't you come over and learn quickly?"

"Eh!" Sister-in-law Ge's smiling eyes were almost slit, and she followed the ground neatly.

Boss Ge looked at Yu Fei, "By the way, as soon as I came in, I talked, and I almost forgot about the business, this is the money you sold oil tea noodles and sesame paste a few days ago, let's say that the account sharing before the good year is half for one person, these are four taels and two dollars." ”
