The white sugar at home is a large piece of rock sugar, and at present, rock sugar is still much cheaper than fine cotton sugar, and more sugar is used at home, so rock sugar is used to save costs.

Mu Xiu first propped up the iron pot, lit the fire, and began to boil the pot.

Then he took out a piece of clean gauze for steaming steamed buns, put a large piece of rock sugar in it, picked up the kitchen knife, and began to beat it carefully, until the rock sugar broke into small pieces and the pot was hot.

Put the crushed rock sugar into an iron pot, one part white sugar and two parts water, add water according to the proportion, wait until the water boils, then turn down the heat and boil slowly.

The syrup boiled in the pot began to bubble, gradually turning pale yellow, and the sweet smell began to radiate outward, and several children in the yard snorted and sucked.

At this time, the drenched strings of hawthorn have also dried.

Mu Xiu took the bamboo skewer and put it flat in the pot for a spin, glued each fruit and each side with sticky shimmering syrup, and put it on the edge of the pot to dry again.

"Ruoshi, you take this out, it's too warm here, and the syrup is not easy to solidify." After Mu Xiu made a few, he told Lu Ruoshi to take it outside.

As soon as Lu Ruoshi took it out, the children all dropped the hawthorn in their hands and ran over cheering.

"Don't worry, don't worry! Sister Mu Xiu said that she can't eat it until the syrup solidifies! Lu Ruoshi raised the plate high and said.

The syrup condensed quickly, and the children were in the yard, watching the hawthorn wrapped in the syrup condense a little bit of luster in the afterglow of the sunset, and the dripping syrup gradually appeared in the shape of a thin sheet.

Everyone watched intently as the rock sugar gourd solidified, and when the outer layer of the rock sugar gourd gradually condensed into a transparent thin shell, Mu Xiu walked out with the second portion of the rock sugar gourd.

"Okay, you can eat it, one skewer per person."

As soon as Mu Xiu's words fell, several hands reached out to the rock sugar gourd at the same time, and several children happened to be one by one.

"It's delicious!" After Mu Chunfeng took a bite, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's sweet and sour, it's so delicious." Mu Xiaohua's small person, holding a big rock sugar gourd, her whole face was red, and she said vaguely.

"Go ahead, I'm going to eat ten skewers!" Li Hu said happily.

"Ten strings?! And a hundred skewers! Mu Xiu choked.

"A hundred strings will do! Second aunt, you are so good to me!" After all, Li Hu is young, Mu Xiaoshu is not at home, Li Hu is the only boy in the family, Zhou Shuilian Mu Shui is very good to him, and his temperament begins to jump out again......

"When you've eaten a hundred skewers, your teeth will all turn black, and the little worms will eat them all! Let me see, ah! Your teeth are full of little bugs! Mu Xiu said and glanced at Li Hu's mouth closely, and then said with a frightened expression.

"Wow!!! I hate bugs! Get it! Li Hu was so frightened by Mu Xiu that he immediately opened his mouth and shouted with a crying voice.

"Look, you're teasing him again!" Zhou Shuilian patted Mu Xiu dissatisfied, and then hugged Li Hu and began to coax.

"Originally, one person can only eat one bunch a day, and when you finish eating, you have to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth, otherwise your teeth will be bad, you know?" Mu Xiu told the rest of the humanitarians.

"Got it!" The children replied in unison.

The second rock sugar gourd is the turn of a few adults to eat.

"It's so much more convenient to eat when I go to the core!" Zhou Shuilian was full of praise when she ate it.

"I've lived a lot of years, and it's the first time I've eaten such a rock sugar gourd. Aunt Chen bit down and tasted it carefully.

"Mu Xiu, are all the sugar gourds in the provincial capital like this?" Chen Xuhui asked with some curiosity.

"Well, not much, I also see it once in a while, so I asked people about it, I bought this tool for a lot of money, if I hadn't seen so many hawthorns at home, I would have forgotten about it." Mu Xiu lied.

For what Mu Xiu said, no one in the family was suspicious, and they all said again and again that the person who thought of this method must be a delicious guy......

"You, you just like to engage in this kind of strange things, and you have to save money if you have it." Zhou Shuilian nodded Mu Xiu's head with her fingers,

"I'm going to make money!" Mu Xiu replied unconvinced.

"How do you make money?"

"There are so many hawthorn fruits at home, close to the New Year, who doesn't like to eat rock sugar gourds, let's make rock sugar gourds and sell them in the county, and this kiwifruit, life-saving fruit, this can make a lot of money!"

"Mu Xiu is right, like this hollow rock sugar gourd, it is rare for people to die, if I touch it, I must buy it and try it." Chen Jianqiang nodded again and again.

"Just put it in the cuckoo's shop and sell it, and the money for the New Year will be earned!" Mushui is also called good again and again.

"Just your weirdest, let's do it!" Zhou Shuilian was a little embarrassed.

Everyone then began to get busy, and early the next morning they started making all kinds of rock sugar gourds, some with walnuts in the hollow, some with life-saving fruits, and wild kiwi fruits to wear, as well as a kiwi and a hawthorn.

In short, if it can be used, Mu Xiu will try to use it as much as possible, and the children will be rewarded with eating sugar gourds every day, and everyone is full of energy.

In this way, in the evening, two hundred strings of rock sugar gourds were made, and these rock sugar gourds were tied on sticks made of straw in Mushui, and they were full of ten, and each stick was covered with a layer of oiled paper, and the bottom was tied tightly, which was to prevent the dust from falling in the process of transportation.

These sticks full of rock sugar gourds were fixed on the ox cart, and early the next morning, Mu Shui and Chen Jianqiang were dragged to the county seat.

Zhou Dujuan couldn't believe her eyes when she saw these rock sugar gourds, she praised them again and again, and finally these rock sugar gourds were placed in front of the store, and they were all sold out in just two hours.

Everyone is the first time to see this kind of rock sugar gourd, close to the Chinese New Year, the street traffic is large, even if this hollow rock sugar gourd is twice as expensive as the ordinary one without pitting, or many people come to buy, some people even buy one at once.

"Brother Mu Shui, you guys will make more tomorrow, this is not enough to sell! It's all sold out, and we haven't tasted a single one. Zhou Dujuan handed the money from selling rock sugar gourds to Mu Shui, and then said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go back and leave some for you to eat tomorrow." Mu Shui took the sixty yuan handed by Zhou Dujuan, patted his chest and agreed.

Mu Shui returned home and told him how this rock sugar gourd was so easy to sell, Zhou Shuilian didn't expect to go to a core here, and someone would buy it if it was twice as expensive.
