Two copper coins bought nearly a pound of crushed rock candy, and gently checked it, feeling that the weight of a pound here was slightly lighter than the pound in the world before she crossed over, almost four hundred grams.

Xiaohuanzui couldn't wait to go back to make rock sugar gourd, so he first took a small piece of rock candy from the paper bag and put it into his mouth on the road, took it for a while, and said with a smile: "It's so sweet!" Sister, do you want a piece? ”

Gently smiled and shook his head: "Don't eat too much, if you eat it all, it won't be enough to make sugar gourds." ”

"Well, eat another piece, just a small piece!" Xiaohuan said, and took another piece.

Gently looked at the sweetness of Xiaohuan's food, and couldn't help but feel a little more pity for her in her heart. Before the crossing, Gentle was accustomed to seeing the children's various snacks, all kinds of candy are even more colorful, the flavors are varied, almost no one takes pure rock candy as a snack. But now that she has crossed into this world and plans to live well, she will cook more delicious food for Xiaohuan if she has the conditions in the future, so that she can enjoy her short childhood as much as possible.

All the way back, walked to the begonia tree, gentle found that the tree was so tall, the two of them were short, and if they couldn't pick it, they had to find a long bamboo pole to fight, fortunately, this piece of begonia tree grew in a more remote corner of Zhao Mansion, even if they were "ruined" in this tree, no one saw it, and they would not be reprimanded.

After picking up the begonias, the two returned to the firewood room, and Wen Rou suddenly remembered that there was no stove and pot, what should I do with this sugar gourd? I definitely don't dare to go to the big kitchen, it's no wonder if I don't get scolded by Sister-in-law Liu! She was embarrassed to discuss with Xiaohuan, but this girl still had an idea, saying that she and Sister-in-law Liu lived in a single-room hut, with a small stove and some simple cooking utensils, so she simply went to her house to do it.

"What if Sister-in-law Liu goes back and bumps into her?" Gentle and a little hesitant.

"No, my mother is so busy now, how can I have time to go back! Besides, everyone will be very busy, and they are not afraid of being seen and complaining. Xiaohuan said softly, and said hurriedly: "Hurry up, hurry up, time is running out, you have to come back to do things in a while." ”

Gentle had to hold the begonia fruit and walk with her.

Fortunately, Xiaohuan's place of residence is not far from the big kitchen, and it didn't take long to arrive.

Xiaohuan went to find a bamboo skewer and was responsible for lighting the fire, Wen Rou washed the begonia fruit with water, cut out the core inside, and then picked up the similar size and skewered it with a bamboo skewer, five per string, a total of eight strings, and the remaining two were particularly large, she did not skewer, but put them aside alone, waiting for Xiaohuan to make the fire, and poured the rock sugar and water into the pot according to the two-to-one amount to boil the sugar.

It takes a little time for the rock sugar to melt, and Xiaohuan is anxious, always asking, "Okay?" It's time for that, right? ”

Gently fiddling with the two big begonia fruits in her hand, she smiled and said, "You have a chopping board here, right?" Soak it in cold water for a while, and then bring me a bowl of cold water. ”

Xiaohuan went as she said, and when she came back, she was observing the heat of the sugar liquid boiling in the pot, and smiled at her: "Take a chopstick and stir it for a while." She turned to her side and continued to fiddle with the two begonia fruits.

Estimating that the time was almost up, he gently handed the two begonia fruits in his hand to Xiaohuan and said, "Take a skewer and string them." She took the chopsticks stained with sugar in her hand and quickly cooled them in a bowl of cold water.

"Oops! This is a peony flower, this is a begonia! After Xiaohuan saw the two begonia fruits that were gently handed to her, she shouted happily, "It's so beautiful!" Sister, you still have this ability! ”

Food carving is the best craft when Wen Wen learned to cook, although just now used to carve begonias is just an ordinary knife, not a special food carving knife, but used to coax the small ring is more than enough, see that she is really happy, gentle will feel relieved, smiled: "Or carved is not too exquisite, keep it for you to play." ”

After she finished speaking, she tried to bite the cooled sugar on the chopsticks, and felt that the heat was almost over, so she quickly took the pot away from the fire, and said to Xiaohuan, who was amazed by the side: "Don't care, put out the fire quickly, and bring the water-soaked cutting board." As she spoke, she quickly rolled the begonia fruit that had been skewered in the sugar solution, and then picked it up and put it on the cutting board handed by Xiaohuan to cool.

When all the begonia fruits were wrapped in sugar juice and placed on the cutting board to reflect the crystal luster, Gentle then stroked his palms and smiled: "It's done!" ”

"Can you taste it?" Xiaohuan's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Yes, you can eat and see." Gentleness was busy cleaning all the used pots and chopsticks and putting them back in their places.

Xiaohuan carefully picked up a string of rock sugar gourds and took a bite, only to feel sweet and sour, crispy, full of the fragrance of begonia fruit and rock sugar, and couldn't help but smile and said: "It's delicious!" Sister, you can taste it too! As he spoke, he pointed to the two bunches of carved begonia fruits and said, "But I am reluctant to eat these two bunches, so I want to keep them." ”

"What's there to be reluctant to? In fact, there are many tricks for sugar gourds, any fruit can be made, and you can also put stuffing in it, if you like it, you will make it for you to eat in the future. Gently speaking, looking at the sky outside the house, he hesitated, "What time is it?" It's time for me to get back to work! ”

Xiaohuan ate the sugar gourd in her mouth, took time to probe in her busy schedule, saw that it was not good, exclaimed "It's late", and ran out with a busy pull on Gentleness, running two steps, she seemed to remember something, and retreated, grabbed five strings of sugar gourds on the chopping board and rushed out again, and smiled at Gentle while running: "This string is for Brother Zhao Lu, he often helps me buy things, this string is for Brother Zhao An, he helped you carry water yesterday, I hide these two strings, and when I am busy with this, the two of us eat together, there is still a string left, I will bring it to Ling'er." ”

Wen Rou was worried that she would be scolded if she was late, but when she heard Xiaohuan running out of breath by her side and didn't forget to say the truth, she couldn't help but be amused by her again, and she felt more and more that this little girl was likable, and she got what she loved to eat, and she didn't forget to share it with her companions.

Halfway through, Xiaohuan parted ways with her, went elsewhere, ran back to the kitchen with a gentle breath, and panted vigorously holding on to the door frame, after all, the injuries on her body had not healed, and this rush made her feel a little dizzy.

It just so happened that Sister-in-law Liu was coming out of the kitchen, and when she saw that Gentle was running in such a hurry, she didn't scold her, but only scolded her, "Wild girl, what are you running like crazy?" He handed her the two herring fish in his hand and asked, "Will you wash the fish and cut the fish?" ”

"Yes." Gently gasped a few times to ease her breath, took the fish and went to clean it up, pretending not to hear the mocking words of the sister-in-law behind her, "Will she clean up the fish?" Sister-in-law Liu, you can be careful that she spoils things! ”

Sister-in-law Liu obviously doesn't have much of a good impression of Sister-in-law Wang, she is busy at the moment, seeing that she is still talking cool words, she is irritable, and she unconsciously goes back with a sentence, saying, "Why don't you go clean up?" ”

Sister-in-law Wang was speechless for a moment, her mouth twitched a few times, and she didn't know what she was scolding, so she turned around and went to do something else.
