Chapter 33: Boiling Syrup
I'll go, I'll go, Uncle wait for us. "Yun Hai and Yun Tao were not detained in the house to write big characters today, and when they heard that the uncle was going to drive the carriage out, they ran over to go together.
"Sit tight, let's go." In order to let the three children sit in the carriage for a while, Father Zhang drove the car to the farthest piece of Shuli land in the family.
Why did you come to Shuli to mow the grass?
Because the ancient Shuli has not been improved, Umido. Umi is an empty pole that does not tie Shuli.
Such empty poles are as sweet as sugar cane, and horses love to eat them. If you cut it, you can also ventilate the ground.
Daddy Zhang resisted a bundle of Shuli rods, and the three small ones all squeezed up to ask for one, chewing sweet juice in his mouth.
The mountains are poor, and most people have no spare money to buy candy for their children.
Shuli pole has also become a favorite snack for children.
"Xiaohai, Xiaotao, do you want to eat sugar?" Han Yun asked casually while chewing on the Shu Li rod.
"Second sister, I want to eat sugar, the sugar is sweet, better than Shuli rod." Yun Tao hurriedly answered, afraid that he would not give him food.
"Second sister, did you buy candy? I haven't eaten sugar in a long time, and I want to eat sugar too. Yun Hai looked at Han Yun expectantly.
"I didn't buy sugar, but I can make candy, and it's up to you two to help me with my work."
"Yes, yes. Second sister, we can both help you work, say it quickly, what should I do? The two of them scrambled to help with the work, for fear that if they didn't work, they wouldn't be given candy.
"That's okay, let your uncle cut some more Shuli rods in a while, let's go back and boil the syrup and make sugar for you."
In this way, the three little ones hit it off, and Daddy Zhang cut a lot of Shuli poles for no reason, and cut a full car before going home.
When they got home, the three little people squatted in the corner, picked up the leaves of Shuli, cut them into sections, and cleaned the Shuli poles.
Because there is no juicer, it can only be pushed with a mill, and the weight of the stone stone is used to crush the juice, which is really a lot of effort.
Later, Daddy Zhang couldn't stand it anymore, so he came over to help, and only then did he blow up three barrels of sweet water.
It was filtered twice with two layers of gauze, poured into a large pot in the yard, and boiled over high heat, and the process of boiling was long.
What kind of sugar is Han Yun trying to make during boiling? There are no dried fruits, no black and white sesame seeds, and there is only popcorn candy left.
"Xiaohai, you watch the fire, I'll go get something delicious." After saying that, I went to the stove room to find my grandmother.
"What are you guys tossing about? Been making a fuss for a long time? Grandma asked.
"Yes! I've been listening to a few of you little ones making a fuss for a long time, and Xiaohai and the others are talking about sugar and sweetness. The old lady was also curious about what the children were doing.
"They said they wanted candy, and I made them some candy.
Milk, can I get some rice? I want to make some popcorn candy and eat it tomorrow when I see the moon. ”
"What kind of rice do you want? Then take it yourself, and you still need to ask me? Milk is lacking, why do you eat in your mouth? The old lady asked, feigning anger.
"Milk, I still need some clear oil, hehe...... I'll return it to you when it's gone, it doesn't cost oil, it really doesn't cost oil. Han Yun was afraid that her grandmother would not let her use oil, so she didn't use it much.
"There's the oil jar, take it yourself, I'll see what tricks you can make." The old lady felt sorry for her little granddaughter, and wanted to make some snacks for the first time, but she couldn't bear to refuse, so let her toss herself! It doesn't cost much anyway.
Han Yun was also not polite, took half a bowl of Shuli rice, half a bowl of millet and a bowl of rice before going out with the oil jar.
In the yard, I put a small pot on the rack again, began to boil the oil, and prepared to fry the popcorn.
When the oil is boiling to the point of green smoke, put a handful of rice in it, and as soon as the rice enters the oil pot, it will become white and fat, and quickly float on the oil surface.
Han Yun was not ambiguous, took the fence and copied it, then fished out the fried popcorn and put it in the prepared basin.
It took several times to blow up.
Not to mention that Yunhai and Yuntao have never seen this kind of food, even the old man has never seen it.
