After dinner, Jiang Xiaotuan planned to use these hawthorns to make sugar gourds.

Although there is a method for making sugar gourds in the system, it is the first time she has done it after all, and she may not have a good grasp of the heat or something, so she plans to make less for the first time.

Eat it at home, of course, you have to go to the seeds, Jiang Xiaotuan is busy, Xiaoyue girl just sat next to her and watched, looking at it, she also learned, and then dealt with the hawthorn together, and the Li family helped to split the bamboo sticks, and it was almost done.

The two sisters worked together, and soon had a small pot, after getting it, Jiang Xiaotuan first skewered the hawthorn on the bamboo stick, this is very simple, Li learned it after reading it, and took advantage of her hawthorn skills, Jiang Xiaotuan began to boil sugar.

This is the most important step, and the ratio of water to sugar should be well controlled.

Li Shi looked at the pound of white sugar and poured half of it at once, and felt a little distressed, "Xiaotuan, it's already good to eat like this, it's too wasteful to add so much sugar." ”

Jiang Xiaotuan wiped his sweat, "Mother, after adding sugar, these hawthorns can be sold for a lot of money!" ”

Li will be suspicious, although this fruit is a little sweet, but it is still quite sour, if she is not pregnant, it is estimated that she will lose her teeth after a few bites, even if she sells it in the town for money, she can't sell too much.

During the whole process, Jiang Xiaotuan was nervous, first boiling over medium heat, then boiling over high heat, and finally turning to low heat, waiting until the sugar was boiled viscous/thick and could be drawn.

Jiang Xiaotuan dipped the skewered hawthorns in the pot to make sure that each hawthorn was covered with sugar, and sprinkled some fried sesame seeds when it came out of the pot.

White sugar is already a rare thing, and it can't be eaten on weekdays, that is, after the separation, Jiang Xiaoyue can only eat sugar, and when she sees so much sugar in the pot at this time, the little girl is already hungry and about to drool.

"Xiaoyue, take this to the yard for a run, and then eat."

Li Shi became more and more puzzled, "What is this way of eating?" Do you have to go for a lap before eating?"

Jiang Xiaotuan looked at Jiang Xiaoyue's back as she ran out excitedly, and said with a smile: "It's cold outside, and the sugar will be cold when you run it, so it tastes delicious." ”

Xiaoyue girl quickly ran back, as Jiang Xiaotuan said, the sugar on it had solidified and cooled, and she raised the sugar gourd in her hand to Jiang Xiaotuan, which meant to let her eat first.

Jiang Xiaotuan touched her head, "Xiaoyue is so good, my sister doesn't eat, you can eat with your mother." ”

Jiang Xiaoyue was very sensible, and let Li take a bite of one first, the sour was sweet, the sweet was crispy, and the crisp was sandwiched with the fragrance of sesame seeds, and the taste that had never been tasted spread in Li's mouth.

"Mother, is it delicious?" Jiang Xiaotuan asked and did it.

"Delicious!" Li Shi replied very simply, and her eyes had narrowed into the shape of a crescent moon, and she seemed to enjoy the taste of sugar gourds, "Xiaotuan, you are so powerful, no one wants fruit, you can make it so delicious." ”

"Satsuki, what do you think?"

Jiang Xiaoyue had sugar stuck to her mouth when she ate, nodded incessantly, and then smiled sweetly.

With the affirmation of the Li family and Xiaoyue girl, Jiang Xiaotuan felt that the sugar gourd should be able to be sold.

However, before going to sell, she plans to go to the mountains to pick some again, and when everyone knows that this can be eaten and is delicious, I am afraid that it will not be easy to pick it again, so I guess I have to buy it.

Li didn't want Jiang Xiaotuan to go up the mountain alone, so he had to go with him, so he usually went, but now that she has a big belly, it would be bad if something really happened.

There was no way, Jiang Xiaotuan could only find some work for her at home, she didn't plan to remove the seeds of the hawthorn she was selling, but now in order to let the Li family have something to do, she can only let her remove the seeds.

"Mother, if you go up the mountain with me, no one will get these, and when you go to the town to sell them tomorrow, you won't rush."

Li Shi saw that Jiang Xiaotuan said very seriously, "Is this so?" That...... I'll be at home, but you have to be careful. ”

Jiang Xiaotuan went to the mountain this time, found a few hawthorn trees, filled a big bag full, and it would not be a problem to make a hundred and eighty strings.

That night, Jiang Xiaotuan made another fifty strings of sugar gourds, then inserted them on the base made of hay, and left the town early the next morning.

It happened to be the day of the market, and there were many people coming and going on the streets, and there were many stalls selling things.

Jiang Xiaotuan found an open space and put the hay full of sugar gourds on the ground.

People passing back and forth, looked at the sugar gourd, felt a little novel, but did not plan to buy it, occasionally there were one or two will ask what it is, although they have no intention of buying, Jiang Xiaotuan still patiently told them that this is called a sugar gourd.

The man shook his head, shook off the "I haven't heard" and left.

The eldest sister who sells duck eggs next to her has done a few business, but Jiang Xiaotuan is still not open here, and it is deserted.

"Girl, you can't sell things like this, you have to shout, tear your throat and shout, especially since you have never seen this big thing, I see, why is it so like the fruit on our mountain."

The eldest sister who sells duck eggs is very good, she took the initiative to talk to Jiang Xiaotuan, and she was also very enthusiastic to teach her to do business, Jiang Xiaotuan pulled a sugar gourd from the hay, "It's that kind of fruit, it's delicious, you can taste it." ”

The eldest sister's hand stretched out halfway, and suddenly her face became solemn, "Can you eat this?" How did I hear that it was poisonous? ”

Jiang Xiaotuan observed that she licked her lips when she spoke, indicating that she wanted to eat, "It's not poisonous, my mother can eat it even if she is pregnant, and she likes to eat it very much." ”

"It's really not poisonous?"

"Nope."

"I see that you are like an honest child, then I will believe you once, I will taste it, look at the outer layer of things, what is it?"

"Sugar."

White sugar, that's a good thing, the eldest sister stopped talking nonsense and took the sugar gourd, one bite at a time, "Well, it's delicious, sweet and silky, and a little sour, oops, why is it so delicious." ”

Taking other people's soft hands and eating other people's mouths is short, the eldest sister who sells duck eggs patted Jiang Xiaotuan's arm, "Girl, I'll give you a shout first, you follow me to learn, don't be shy, we won't steal or rob." ”

She cleared her throat and was just about to shout, when she suddenly turned her head and asked shyly, "What's your name?" ”

"Sugar gourd."

"Oh oh oh, sugar gourd, here, look!" After the eldest sister finished speaking, she opened her throat and shouted, "Sugar gourd, sweet and sour sugar gourd, don't miss it when you pass by, make sure you haven't seen it, sugar gourd, sugar gourd, sugar gourd that adults and children love to eat." ”

The eldest sister's voice was a little hoarse, and after she finished shouting, she looked at Jiang Xiaotuan, "You come again." ”

Jiang Xiaotuan's cool voice immediately attracted the ideas of many people, and soon someone brought the child to ask.

The color of the sugar gourd is beautiful, and it is very tempting to the little baby, the little baby stretched out his finger and stretched out to the sugar gourd vigorously, "Mother, mother...... Eat ......"

The woman grabbed her son's hand, "Girl, how did you sell this thing?" ”

"One string of eight cents, two strings of fifteen cents."

The woman frowned, and blurted out, "It's so expensive, it's worth the price, and I don't know if it's delicious." ”

"It's delicious, I've never eaten anything so delicious." The eldest sister of duck egg praised repeatedly.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaotuan pulled a sugar gourd from the hay again, but this time she didn't give a whole bunch, but asked the woman to break off a hawthorn, "Auntie, you taste it." ”

"Mother, eat and eat......" The little baby stretched out her hand and was about to grab it, but the woman had no choice but to break half of it and give it to the little baby, "Why are you so slimy." ”

"That's white sugar, and I made it with the best white sugar."

Jiang Xiaotuan didn't say anything, but the woman's brows shrugged, white sugar is not cheap, no wonder it is sold so expensive.

The woman endured the feeling of amazement, and said lightly: "If you want me to say it's just ordinary, Huzi, let's go." ”

The woman was reluctant to pay for the money, and she thought that she had eaten it, so she wanted to leave, but her son didn't do it, and when she heard that she didn't buy it, she immediately opened her mouth and cried.

The woman still loves the child, where is he willing to cry so sadly, so he has to grit his teeth, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, don't cry, my mother will buy you a bunch, don't cry, the tiger will be eaten soon." ”

With the first person to buy, there is a second person to buy, and children are the most honest, and it is impossible to shout to buy it if it is not delicious.

Seeing that the sugar gourd was about to be sold out, the eldest sister of the duck egg secretly discussed with Jiang Xiaotuan, "Sister, I didn't expect you to sell this thing so well, if there is anything left later, can you sell me a bunch cheaper, I will bring it back to my daughter to taste, if there is no left, forget it, don't delay your normal business." ”

After all, people have helped themselves a lot, Jiang Xiaotuan is not a stingy person, "Cheng, what do you sell or not, eldest sister, you helped me a lot today, I won't sell the last string, I'll leave it to you." ”

"So what's so embarrassing? I can't ask for your things for nothing, so let's do it, I won't sell the last two of my duck eggs, you can take them home, will you? ”

"It's done!" Jiang Xiaotuan said with a smile.

What Jiang Xiaotuan didn't expect was that the sugar gourd was very popular, and word of mouth spread quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there was only the last string of sugar gourds left.

"This is a sugar gourd? How is it sold? ”

Jiang Xiaotuan was packing up her things, sounding like a teenager's voice, she didn't look back, "It's not for sale." ”

"Why don't you sell it? Isn't there anything else? The boy asked displeasedly.

"This string is left by me, if you want to eat it, I will come back to the market next time, you can come and buy it early." Jiang Xiaotuan turned around, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, the young man in front of him was handsome and elegant, with red lips and white teeth, more delicate than ordinary girls, but there was some anger between his eyebrows and eyes.

"I just want to buy it now, don't I just want to pay more? I know, how much is it, you make a price! ”

Jiang Xiaotuan tried hard to keep himself smiling and explained to him, "This is really not a matter of money or money, I promised this eldest sister to let her take it back to her daughter to taste, I'm really embarrassed, I can't sell it to you how much money you give me." ”

"What if I just wanted to?" The young man glared at Jiang Xiaotuan unruly, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
