Chapter 58, it's all because it was too simple back then
After Gu Tingcheng took the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family home, he asked her to press out the orange juice and boil it with sugar, and in order to make the color look good, Gu Tingcheng also added a little rose juice.
This rose juice was bought in the county town before, and it was originally used to make rouge lipstick.
But because it is pure natural, Gu Tingcheng asked for some, and it is also possible to use it for food, and the fragrance of roses is particularly strong.
After the sugar is boiled, it is useful, knead it with an iron basin, and after it is slowly cooled, it will not stick to your hands, but will be somewhat solidified.
Remove the sugar and knead it on a smooth wooden board.
Gu Tingcheng suddenly remembered that this sugar can be used as a sugar man, but unfortunately he doesn't have this skill, just think about it.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family watched from the side, and praised Gu Qingcheng
"Xiao Qi, how do you make this sugar, why is the color so beautiful? What did you just put there? ”
Looking at this pink and tender sugar, she really likes it.
"I put rose juice just now, so it looks better. The taste is orange with a hint of rose, you taste it. Gu Qingcheng cut off a little bit with a knife and handed it to her.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family took it and put it in her mouth.
"It's so fragrant, it's so sweet. It's also a little sour, sweet and sour, Xiao Qi, you have this craft, why doesn't the factory sell sugar? But this orange is a bit expensive. "Some lamented that it costs so many ingredients to make a candy.
Liu Er really made money buying candy here in Xiaoqi this time.
"Next year, it should be able to be sold, and then you will be one of you to take care of the food. If you can't get busy, you can recruit people from other villages. Gu Tingcheng also told her his plans.
When the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family heard this, she asked very excitedly
"Really?"
"Hmm." Gu Tingcheng was still kneading sugar in his hands.
It's almost done, it's almost solidified, and then the sugar, flattened with a rolling stick, and spread it into a square. Then use a knife to flower into small pieces.
A piece of sugar is about a centimeter or so and is square.
Then just wait for it to solidify, knowing that it is easy to solidify this winter.
There are about one or two thousand pieces of candy in these catties, and about two or three hundred pieces of sugar in one catty.
Packaging is the most troublesome.
Greeted the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family and chatted for a while, drank a cup of tea, and the sugar was fine.
Then he moved the stool, took out the cut oiled paper, and packed it one by one.
Because I'm afraid it will melt away.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family didn't know how to wrap it, but looking at Gu Tingcheng's technique, she learned it after a while.
The bag is so good-looking, boxy.
When had she ever seen such exquisite candy?
Liu Er's engagement this time, this candy will definitely impress many people.
It's expensive to look at, let alone eat, I'm afraid I'm reluctant to eat it.
And so the afternoon passed quickly.
"Oops, it's getting dark, and it's finally finished, and this bag of candy is really troublesome." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family stood up and said.
Gu Tingcheng also cleaned up, weighed the sugar with a rod scale, and showed it to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family. Because of the wrapping paper, Gu Tingcheng also put some more in.
Let the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family take it back, and save another trip.
There was still a little left, so I grabbed a handful for the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family.
Then prepare your own cooking, eat and rest early.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family met a few people on the way back with candy, and they all asked her what she was taking?
She just fooled around casually and quickly returned home.
As soon as she entered the house, the voice of the old lady came.
"Coming back? Are you done with it? "It's still kind.
"It's over, this is sugar, it's already done, third brother and sister, you have taken it and weighed it! I still have a few here that Xiao Qi gave, mother, you can try it. ”
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family gave the candy to the third daughter-in-law, took out two more candies from her pocket, and handed them to the old lady.
The third daughter-in-law did take the title, but it was not that she couldn't believe her sister-in-law. The main thing is to point it out face to face, otherwise who will cause trouble later.
"Yes, there are more." The third daughter-in-law came out after the scales and said.
"Well, that's fine." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family nodded.
"That, sister-in-law, Xiao Qi, did you say how much it is?" The third daughter-in-law asked a little embarrassedly, after all, looking at this package, it's so good, I'm afraid it's not cheap, right?
"Anyway, eight hundred and eighty-eight Wentu is auspicious."
"Well, I've never seen such a beautiful candy in my life."
The old lady also peeled off the sugar at this time, and looked at the pink crystalline sugar, and was a little reluctant to eat it.
"Is it really only 888 Wen?" The third daughter-in-law didn't believe it, after all, the quality of this sugar is so good, and it's so beautiful, why is it only 888 Wen?
Because the sugar boiling technology here has not yet been widely developed, not everyone knows how to make sugar, so it is a little expensive, especially Gu Tingcheng's sugar is very special.
"What are you lying to do? When you're free, just take the money yourself and give it to others. Is the meal ready? I'm going to help with the cooking. ”
"No need, sister-in-law, it's ready, I'll eat it right away, thank you sister-in-law for your help today." The third daughter-in-law said gratefully, after all, this is also to help her daughter make candy.
"No thanks." My three brothers and sisters are not bad, but I really don't need to thank them, because I didn't help them, I just went to help Gu Qingcheng.
Then he went in, found his son, and gave him all the remaining candy.
This is my hope for the future.
"Mother, where did you get the sugar?" Chen Zhongju happily asked his mother.
"Your little seventh sister gave it." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family said with a smile, looking at her son's greedy face, she couldn't help but pat him on the head with her hand.
"Mother, why are you beating me? Sister Xiaoqi gave it, but it's a pity that the boss is gone, otherwise when I go to school, there will be candy to eat. ”
You must know that at that time, Gu Xueyan often brought them good food.
"You, you know how to eat, read me well, do you hear?"
"I hear you, mother."
……
Gu Xueyan, who was far away in an extremely cold place, sneezed, wondering if his sister missed herself?
It's been so long, and I wrote to go out, but my sister didn't reply to me.
And his own master, this big liar, said that the good medical holy valley is very beautiful?
As a result, he was cold, beautiful is beautiful, but it was so cold, he was practicing and studying every day, and no one was playing with him.
"Childe, what do you want? Hurry up and dig it! If you can't dig up the amount required by Master Liu, I'm afraid that tonight's dinner will be green vegetables and white porridge. ”
"Humph!" Gu Xueyan snorted, he was angry when he thought about this, the food cooked by his sister was so delicious, but the master didn't know anything, and the cooking was not delicious, so he didn't let him eat meat!
When I meet my sister in the future, I must sue him and abuse him.
Gu Xueyan is about to be tortured and crazy now! He is no longer just him. Think about which child has so many things to do day by day, and still doesn't let them eat well.
What's more important is to test for poison!!
He was crazy to come to learn this medicine, and he blamed it on being too simple back then.
Gu Xueyan wiped away her sad tears, took a small hoe and dug it up again. The ears and eyes were red from the cold.
