Chapter 637: Sugar Gourd

"Let me ask if you have bamboo skewers and rock candy here." Hearing Luo Lin's words, Jiang Hai also chuckled, and had to admit that sometimes these Americans were still quite friendly, and glanced at the supermarket, he said to Luo Lin.

"Bamboo sticks? It's a wooden stick, it's inside, and as for the rock candy, uh...... Which? Food, taxi? Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Luo Lin was stunned for a moment, and then whispered to Jiang Hai, looking at his mysterious appearance, Jiang Hai was also a little overwhelmed.

There is a word for rock candy in English, but this word is not as beautiful as imagined.

In Huaxia, rock candy is rock candy, everyone will know it, but in the United States, rock candy is written in English as candy, which means candy, or fancy clothing, sweet words, and there is also an explanation that ancient - Ke - salty (not allowed to write), Ke - Ke - Yin and the like, also called this name, so when I heard Jiang Hai say that he wanted this thing, Luo Lin also made a gesture.

"Oh no, I don't touch these things, I'm going to eat rock candy, whole pieces, translucent candy, put it in my mouth and eat it." Hearing his words, Jiang Hai immediately shook his head, he wouldn't touch these messy things.

"Whew, you scared me, the candy is in the third row of crutches, you go and find it, I don't know if it's there." Seeing that Jiang Hai didn't want to look for those things, Luo Lin here also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although in the United States, it is not illegal to smoke hemp, but these drugs are illegal everywhere.

Besides, this is not a good thing, and he doesn't want Jiang Hai to be involved in these plays.

Laughing with him, Jiang Hai walked to the corner of the third row, and really found that there is a lot of sugar here, and there are all kinds of sugar, Americans are quite fond of eating sugar, really quite like to eat sugar, the average adult in each country has to absorb twenty-two spoonfuls of sugar per day, more than 100 grams, that is, about two taels, an average of every day, not every month, not every year.

Maybe Americans don't know what to do, or maybe they really like to eat sugar and already have immunity, otherwise how can they not be afraid of diabetes at all? As for teenagers, well, in fact, they eat sugar more fiercely, thirty-four spoonfuls a day, and almost all of their snacks are sweet, national food pies, needless to say, donuts, chocolates, etc.

These high-calorie, high-sugar foods are their favorites.

This can also be seen from the wide variety of sugars they have here, and after Jiang Hai walked here, he squatted down and took a look.

I found that there is really rock candy here, it is much easier, I took two bags of rock sugar, and then went to the side to get a bamboo stick, oh no, wood sticks, there is almost no bamboo in the United States, they don't use bamboo, the three major types of bamboo in the world, Asian bamboo is the most widely used, the most, American bamboo only grows in Latin America, even if the United States has, it is very rare, no one will cut this thing at all, but it doesn't matter if you use a wooden stick.

After taking the sugar and wooden sticks, Jiang Hai was ready to go to the checkout, but when he passed by the counter, he happened to see the container selling drinks here, so Jiang Hai took a bottle of Coca-Cola Zero.

A long time ago, he used to like to drink the drink Zero, and once this drink was launched, it also attracted a lot of attention.

But later, I don't know if it was because of the suppression of peers, or if there was a real problem, the abastime used in Zero was revealed to be a cancerous substance, and it was removed from the shelves all over the world for a period of time, but then I don't know how, it appeared again.

Jiang Hai didn't know whether this thing caused cancer or not, but Jiang Hai knew that this thing didn't have any calories, and it tasted okay.

Three things, before Jiang Hai got it at the counter, he was about to check out, but at this time, a man dressed in Indian clothes walked in and lined up behind Jiang Hai, Jiang Hai was no stranger to this person.

This is an Iroquois, and when Jiang Hai and Mayor Wallis discussed building an Indian shop in the town, Mayor Wallis went to the mountains, met with the Iroquois, and then stepped in to facilitate the matter.

The Iroquois, the most business-minded of the Iroquois tribe in the mountains, persuaded the chieftain of their tribe to go out of the mountain and become the manager of the small shop himself.

Indeed, an Indian store, if not the Indians selling things, will give people the feeling of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.

It is precisely because of this Iroquois that the business of this store is quite good.

According to Moses Adams's calculations, in the three months of August, September, and October alone, the total income of this Indian store was 700,000 US dollars, deducting 200,000 US dollars for the purchase of goods, and the net income was 500,000 US dollars, of which Jiang Hai received 40 percent, that is, 200,000 yuan, the town received 20 percent, that is, 100,000 yuan, and the Iroquois side also shared 40 percent, that is, 200,000 yuan.

In other words, they earned a total of 400,000 US dollars, and this Iroquois who appeared outside naturally made a lot of money, originally he rented a house to live in, but recently Jiang Hai heard that he was already going to buy a house in the town.

"Hey, Jiang, you're here to buy something too." When Jiang Hai looked at him, the Iroquois who had been raising his head after coming in, as if he was thinking about what to buy, also noticed Jiang Hai and shouted excitedly, but this accent was a little strange.

"yes, you're here to buy something, too." Although the accent was a little strange, Jiang Hai could still understand what he was talking about.

"I don't have any cigarettes to smoke, come and buy some cigarettes." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, this person couldn't help but smile and said.

When this person came, Jiang Hai remembered that he was reluctant to buy cigarettes, but directly rolled the tobacco leaves brought out from the mountains to smoke.

Now that he has money, he naturally wants to buy some good ones, Jiang Hai heard his words, so he smiled and said to him.

After chatting for a while, it was time for Jiang Hai, and after paying for these things, Jiang Hai left the supermarket.

I opened the cola and took a sip, and after a while, I made a big gap, which was indeed much more comfortable.

While walking, Jiang Hai was drinking something, and as for the people on the road, they were also constantly greeting Jiang Hai.

Jiang Hai also responded with a smile to their kindness, and unconsciously, he also walked to the parking lot.

After getting into the car, Jiang Hai drove back to the manor, and when he came, there was still some snow on the road, although the snowplow swept more snow to the side of the road, but there was still some small snow in the middle of the road, and as soon as the sun came out, the snow was dried into water.

It doesn't matter if you go now, but as soon as it freezes at night, it will be troublesome, and after taking a look at the situation on the road, Jiang Hai feels that in the past few days, if there is nothing important, then don't run to the town.

drove all the way back to his manor, and after Jiang Hai got out of the car, he took the things into the house.

At this time, Dalena and the others have already made the fruit almost, and it stands to reason that when the sugar gourd strings the fruit, such as hawthorn, the hawthorn is cut from the middle, and then the hawthorn is removed from the seeds, and then the hawthorn is put together.

Then use a bamboo skewer to skewer it, so there is a problem with the skewer, that is, the hawthorn's butt will not be very tasty.

So Bernice's approach is to poke the hawthorn directly with chopsticks and pierce it from the buttocks.

In this way, the seeds are directly brought out, and the buttocks also fall off, although the meat of the mountain slag will be less, but it is harmless, as for other things, it is much simpler, grapes peeled, seeded, kiwi peeled, and then cut into small pieces, blue plum is also peeled and seeded, and the grass is directly cut in half.

When Jiang Hai came back, these things were almost done, and seeing Jiang Hai come back with a wooden sign, everyone also began to string up, and before they knew it, they wore dozens of strings, and there were not many boils to see the strings, and Jiang Hai began to boil sugar.

This is also the most difficult point of making rock sugar gourd, pour it into the pot according to the ratio of sugar to water to one, and boil it for about 20 minutes.

There should be granulated sugar and rock sugar in this sugar, and it should be boiled for 20 minutes, and it should be constantly stirred when boiling, otherwise it will be mushy.

Twenty minutes later, the sugar is boiling very much, and there has been a fine dense foam, and the color has also turned golden yellow, then you have to pick it with chopsticks to see if you can pull out the silk, and when you make a sweet potato, you also need to use this sugar.

At this time, you have to turn off the heat, and the speed will become faster, because if you burn it for a while, it will become caramel, and there will be no way to eat it.

Get the sugar into a piece, and then quickly take the finished sugar gourd and roll it in the sugar, after you want to put it all on it, then put it directly on the marble slab to cool, because the temperature of the marble slab itself is low, which can help this thing to form, and it is very slippery.

After waiting for a long time, Bernice and the others finally waited for the sugar gourd to be finalized, and at that moment Bernice wanted to take a piece, but was slapped by Jiang Hai on the back of her hand, feeling Jiang Hai's movements, Bernice couldn't help but dance at Jiang Hai.

"It's not the time to eat yet, you have to freeze it overnight." Looking at her appearance, Jiang Hai couldn't help but pat her head funny, sometimes Bernice is like a child, it really makes people cry and laugh.

"Cut ......" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Bernice couldn't help but slap her mouth, and then stared at those sugar gourds motionlessly.

"Okay, let's have some fun, or it's too boring to stay at home." Looking at the people in front of him, Jiang Hai clapped his hands and said to everyone, hearing Jiang Hai's words, it really diverted the thoughts of these girls about the sugar gourd, and for a while, everyone in the house looked at each other, thinking, what should I play?

"Let's play poker, it's easy." Glancing at Jiang Hai and the others, Azarina spoke first.

"But it's not interesting to play poker without gambling anything." Hearing Azalina's words, Jiang Hai thought for a while and said, it is really not interesting to play Pu Ke without gambling anything, after all, Pu Ke's gameplay is too simple.

"Then let's play flying chess." Glancing at each other, Dalena couldn't help but say excitedly.

"But that thing can only be played by four!" But when he heard her words, Bernice here spoke.

Hearing Bernice's words, Jiang Hai and the others fell into silence again, because they didn't know what to play.

"Otherwise, let's play Three Kingdoms." Just when everyone was a little helpless and didn't know what to play, Xiao Ya said a word next to her, and when they heard Xiao Ya's words, Jiang Hai and they all looked at her.

"Three Kingdoms Killing?" Hearing what Xiao Ya said, Jiang Hai's mind couldn't help but flash a picture of him and his buddies playing Three Kingdoms Killing, but thinking about it, he hadn't played it for a long time.

"Well, Three Kingdoms, I used to be able to stay in my room, and it wasn't interesting to study recipes, and I couldn't watch TV, play with my phone or anything, because there would be radiation, so I liked to play some board games and the like." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Xiao Ya said with a smile, and when she heard what Xiao Ya said, Jiang Hai glanced at them.

"Three Kingdoms Killing, what is it?" As if seeing the eagerness in Jiang Hai and Xiaoya's eyes, Dalena and Marianne here couldn't help but ask a little strangely, they are pure Americans, they don't know what the Three Kingdoms Kill is, and they don't even know the Three Kingdoms.

"Well, it's a pretty simple game, just play and see." Hearing Dalena and Marianne's words, Jiang Hai also smiled, and then gestured to Xiao Ya with his eyes, and Xiao Ya immediately ran back upstairs.

Since Jiang Hai cured her illness, although Xiaoya still looks very quiet, she is really much more cheerful.

In the past, because she couldn't bask in the sun, she was deficient in calcium all the year round, plus osteoporosis, and a serious lack of all vitamins and the like, it can be said that even if she wanted to run, she couldn't run, but fortunately, because of Bernice's perennial guidance.

That's why she doesn't have inferiority complex or anything like that in her heart, and she has any mental illness like autism.

But now that Jiang Hai has cured her, she is very cheerful, and now that she can run, she will never walk.

When eating and chatting with Jiang Hai, if you can sit in the sun, you will definitely not sit in a cool place.

Looking at her such changes, whether it is Jiang Hai or Bernice, they are actually seeing it in their eyes and happy in their hearts.

Especially in Jiang Hai's opinion, the most correct thing he has ever done may be to cure her, looking at Xiao Ya's slender and tall figure, with a pure white and flawless body, cough...... Seems to have gone off track...... (To be continued.) )
