Chapter 24: The Big Bad Wolf Threatens the Little White Fox
The method of sugar gourd is also simple, the only trouble is the bamboo skewer of the sugar gourd.
Xia Qiqi took Xia Duofu's carpentry tools, went to the nearby bamboo forest to cut bamboo, and when he came back, he took a bamboo pole that looked good.
It took nearly half an hour just to split the bamboo into bamboo sticks.
Looking at the chopped bamboo sticks of the right thickness and length, Xia Qiqi showed a relieved smile.
Then there were wild apples that were selected as sugar gourds, and those apples were not big, Xia Qiqi chose some of the smallest, scooped a basin of water, and put two spoonfuls of salt.
After soaking the selected wild apples in water, it took a long time for Xia Qiqi to wash the wild apples and put them aside to dry.
A bamboo skewer was inserted into an apple, and Xia Qiqi began to boil rock syrup.
In fact, it is the syrup that is boiled out of white sugar in water, and the color of the syrup becomes slightly yellow, which is very simple.
Squatting at the mouth of the stove, Xia Qiqi used a flint and steel to ignite the dry grass at the bottom, and stuffed a handful of pine hairs, and soon, the fire was ignited!
She washed the iron pot, scooped half a scoop of water, put three spoonfuls of sugar in a large spoon, and began to stir the sugar water in the pot.
At first, I couldn't see any change, but when the thick foam in the pot appeared, Xia Qiqi stopped stirring.
She stood on the edge of the stove, waiting for the pot of sugar water to turn into syrup.
At this moment, it is a pity that no one is standing here, otherwise looking at her skillful movements, she will definitely suspect Xia Qiqi.
Xia Qiqi in his previous life had strong hands-on ability.
She is adventurous, likes to cook, all kinds of food, but if she goes out to eat once, she goes back to study the recipe, and she will definitely make it taste the same as the hotel chef.
If it weren't for the poor conditions of the Xia family's four rooms now, it would be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and she would definitely be able to make food for the two dolls in the family!
Now she has only one requirement for herself, to be able to eat three points full, and crying without hunger is done!
In the future, she will slowly save up her family and make them some delicious food.
After the syrup is boiled, in the air, the taste of sugar is relatively strong, and Xia Qiqi began to make sugar gourds.
The sugar gourd is in the syrup, quickly stir a circle, and put the finished sugar gourd on the side to dry.
As soon as she made a few sugar gourds, flowers, flowers, and little white foxes, they went into the stove room together.
The two little girls may have something to say to Xia Qiqi, but when they saw the sugar gourd in the big bowl on the dinner table, they forgot all the words they were going to say.
Six little eyes, staring at the red and bright, sweet sugar gourds on the table without blinking, saliva straight out.
"Do you want to eat?" Xia Qiqi asked with a smile.
"Eun!" Xia Xiaohua and Xia Xiaoduo nodded heavily.
Together, the little white fox on the side also followed their example, raised his paws, and nodded at Xia Qiqi.
That look, silly, so cute!
"Let's eat!" Xia Qiqi handed a sugar gourd to the little doll, and when it was the little white fox's turn, she said, "This is not comparable to the things you eat in the forest, are you sure you want to eat it?" ”
"Huh~" The little white fox nodded and bowed to Xia Qiqi.
That clever appearance, where he looks like a fox, is clearly a little adult.
Xia Qiqi was surprised by the white fox's humanity, and at the same time, he really handed the sugar gourd to the little white fox.
The weather is cold in late autumn, and a bunch of sugar gourds will be cold after a while.
Xia Xiaohua and Xia Xiaoduo squeaked and bit on the skin of the sugar gourd, and the sweet and sour taste instantly melted in their mouths.
This is the first snack that the two little girls have eaten since they were born, and they covered their mouths one by one and laughed nonstop.
"Eldest sister, it's delicious, it's delicious...... Xia Xiaohua said to Xia Qiqi.
"Sister, can we eat this every day?" Xia Xiaoduo also asked.
"As long as the eldest sister makes sugar gourds, I will give it to you! After eating my eldest sister's things, I will listen to me in the future, you know? Xia Qiqi said beside him.
"Well, let's listen to the eldest sister! We're sure to be good! ”
The two little girls nodded at the same time.
The little white fox on the side, unlike Xia Xiaohua and Xia Xiaoduo, licked the sugar gourd, and couldn't stand the taste.
The tongue kept sticking out, but he didn't throw away the sugar gourd held by his paws, but returned it to Xia Qiqi.
Xia Qiqi made the remaining sugar gourd and hung it on the table.
It wasn't too early for her to look outside.
She had to go to the mountains quickly and send the little white fox back to the mountains, and it would be too late, and as soon as it got dark, she wouldn't be able to enter the mountains!
After explaining Xia Xiaohua and Xia Xiaoduo, Xia Qiqi carried the bamboo basket on his back, put the little white fox in the basket, and used a handful of hay to cover the little white fox's body tightly.
He walked straight out of the village and towards the hill near the village.
All the way up the mountain, and then to the mountainside, Xia Qiqi released the little white fox.
She said, "Little white fox, I'm leaving!" I won't be in the mountains for a few days.
In two days, I'll come to the mountains to find something to eat, and if we can still meet, I'll take you down the mountain to play!" ”
What Xia Qiqi said, the little white fox understood, otherwise the little guy would not have stretched out his paws and grabbed Xia Qiqi's trouser legs.
"Well, here you go! I will definitely be back, don't worry! Xia Qiqi handed the sugar gourd that the little white fox had licked before.
knows that the little white fox doesn't necessarily like to eat, but in her heart, this is what she gives the little white fox a heart.
The little white fox bit the bamboo stick with his mouth, and finally let go of the claws that were holding Xia Qiqi.
Xia Qiqi went down the mountain without any danger all the way!
She didn't know that as soon as she left, hiding in the shadows, the wolf boy jumped out for a whole afternoon.
The moment the little white fox saw the wolf boy, his hands were soft, his feet were soft, and his head was dizzy.
The fox legs kept shivering.
The wolf boy saw the sugar gourd in the little white fox's mouth, stretched out his hand, and gently pulled it, and the sugar gourd reached his hand.
"Roar~" He roared at the little white fox a few times, his eyes were terrifying.
The little white fox itself is timid, where can he stand this kind of fright, his eyes are flowering, and he suddenly faints in fright!
The wolf boy stretched out his hand, directly lifted the tail of the little white fox that had passed out, and ran towards the cave where he had been living!
……
Xia Qiqi walked at the foot of the mountain and faintly heard the wolf howling.
But she didn't dare to think about it, only told herself that it was just her delusion.
After all, she had even stolen things from the wolf cave, and if it was really that wolf boy, maybe she would be caught back!
Could it be that he would still observe her in the shadows like a human?
For his own thoughts, Xia Qiqi thought it was quite funny.
That young man, although he is good-looking, is raised by a wolf after all, and all kinds of habits are the same as wolves, and it is all an illusion to say that he has the wisdom of a man!
Delusion for sure!
