The old man didn't embarrass Shen Hui either, and nodded, "Okay, listen to you!"

Shen Hui smiled again and asked, "Uncle, your family is an ancestral craft?"

As soon as he said this, the uncle was extremely excited, patted his thigh and said, "Girl, what a good eyesight! Our ancestors started as sugar gourds!"

"I don't say anything else, our H City, our sugar gourd is the most authentic! Don't say anything else, you just saw it, the syrup in my pot is as transparent and clear as the flow of water, and the sugar water can be pulled into silk when dipped in chopsticks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Roll the hawthorn skewers into the pot, take out the greased wooden board and drop it, sprinkle a few white sesame seeds to garnish, wait for a minute when the syrup is dry, and the rock sugar gourd will be ready. ”

"Pick it up and take a look, a layer of crystal clear wrapped in the outside of the red hawthorn, red and bright, it smells even better, sweet with a burnt fragrance of sesame seeds, which makes people want to take a bite when they see it!"

"If you want to say the most beautiful, you still eat it in your mouth. It's crunchy, sweet and sour, and even I, a toothless old man, can't help but want to take a bite!"

Shen Hui smiled and listened to the old man's words before asking, "Uncle, didn't you say that white sugar is expensive?

Uncle nodded, "Of course it will be a loss if you use all white sugar!"

Then he smiled slyly, "Actually, old man, what I'm best at is not making sugar gourds, and I'm not as good as my grandson!"

Shen Hui nodded, when she was a child, she couldn't afford sugar or meat during the Chinese New Year, so her mother saved a pound of wheat for her and Shen Cong to make maltose to satisfy their hunger.

"So, you're using maltose, I really can't see it!" Shen Hui said in surprise.

The old man smiled, "Well, most of it is maltose, and it is mixed with some white sugar, otherwise the burnt taste will be too obvious!"

"Uncle, have you ever used brown sugar?" Shen Hui asked again.

The old man shook his head, "Our family never uses that thing to make, the taste of brown sugar is not good, it can't compare to the maltose I make, and it's more expensive than my maltose!"

"Oh!" Shen Hui nodded thoughtfully, "Today is really a long day of knowledge!"

The old man answered, thinking that the sugar gourd in the kitchen should be ready, and took the gourd to get the sugar gourd.

Shen Hui also turned her head to look at the dozing boy, "Your name is Tang Dabao, right?"

The boy didn't know if he heard it, so he hummed lowly.

At this time, the old man and the gourd also walked out with more than a dozen strings of sugar gourds, and the gourd first handed a bunch to Xiaocao, "Little sister, you taste it, it's delicious!"

The old man glanced at the gourd dissatisfied, shouldn't he give it to Aunt Shen first?

Shen Hui took the uncle's sugar gourd, and then saw that there were not only hawthorns on the bunch, but also the current seasonal fruits peaches and red dates.

When the gourd and Xiaocao came back after sending sugar gourds to the children outside, Shen Hui also finished biting a string of sugar gourds, and when the old man asked if she wanted to come again, she shook her head, and there was still something to do!

"Uncle, I have a few questions I want to ask him!" Shen Huishu pointed to the young man who was squinting at the candy gourd.

"Oh, okay, okay, just ask whatever you want, is it inconvenient for us to be here?" Then I'll take the gourd to the kitchen first!" said the old man, taking the gourd's hand and going to the kitchen.

Shen Hui shook her head, "No, because this matter is a little troublesome, I just hope he can tell the truth!"

When the old man heard this, he reassured: "Don't worry, our children are very honest and don't tell nonsense!"

Shen Hui nodded, looked at the young man and asked, "You sold sugar gourds in the camp a few months ago, right?"

The boy rolled his eyes, but he didn't recognize it!

The old man knocked a chestnut on his head, "Answer the question!"

The young man said aggrievedly: "Yes!"

"But you only came for a while, and then you didn't come, but I remember that the middle-aged man who took over from you sold sugar gourds used a straw stick with the same logo as yours, do you know?"

The young man scratched his head and looked at his grandfather with some embarrassment, the old man raised his hand, and the young man shrank his neck in fright, "I said, I said!"

"It's my dad, my dad said that I work the night shift at night, and it's too hard to sell sugar gourds during the day, so he said he wanted to go for me, and I agreed!"

Hearing this, the old man snorted, although he was dissatisfied, it was not good to count his grandson in front of outsiders.

Shen Hui nodded, looked at the old man and asked, "Can I meet him?"

The old man agreed, "Okay, but he's not at home at this time, he just went out for a while, and besides, didn't he make a little money a while ago, and he didn't come back at night, and he played mahjong outside all night, and we couldn't find where it was!"

Shen Hui nodded, "Oh, then you mean he's at home every morning, right?

"No problem, but, girl, I want to ask you, what are you looking for my son, is he causing trouble outside again, you tell me, when he comes back, I will teach him a lesson!" the old man asked tentatively.

Shen Hui thought to herself, isn't telling your son to run away?

Therefore, Shen Hui shook her head, "It's not a big deal, just ask casually, but, uncle, can you not tell him yet?"

The old man couldn't see anything unusual on her face, so he had to nod, "Okay! I won't say it, you can just come over tomorrow!"

After solving this big matter, Shen Hui was in a hurry to go back and said goodbye to the uncle.

Shen Hui took Xiaocao back to the alley, seeing that the time was not early, she and Sister-in-law Qi took their things and went to the highway outside the city to wait for Chen Qingquan.

When she got home, it was dinner time, she hurried to cook again, and when she finished eating, Gu Zhengqin took the initiative to ask Ying to wash the dishes, so that Shen Hui could take time to talk to him.

“…… I didn't expect that the previous boy was actually the grandson of the uncle, and I remembered that the mark on the straw stick used by the middle-aged man later was the same as the boy's, so I deliberately made a cliché with the old man. ”

"Only then did I know that their family uses maltose and white sugar to make sugar gourds, but the middle-aged man uses more expensive brown sugar, I don't think it's right, this sugar gourd is likely to have a problem!"

Asked again, sure enough, the middle-aged man was also a family, so he told them that we would go over tomorrow morning and ask about something. Shen Hui told me about today's events.

Gu Zhengqin nodded, and thought for a while before saying: "You're right, we just think about the problem of more beef, but we didn't expect that this sugar gourd may also have a problem! Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow and call Xiao Hongjun too, in terms of interrogation, he is better than us!"
