Candied haws 1

 The full moon on one side is covered by dark clouds, and the rising sun on the other side brings light.

The soft white sugar in the iron pot gradually melts, a faint sweet smell fills the air, and the warm sunshine slowly falls, making everything so peaceful and beautiful.

"Sister Jiu, how long do you have to stay up?"

Li Qingyu was cleaning the cooking table at this time, but all his attention was focused on the small iron pot.

Also looking at the iron pot was Qiao Shishi. She wiped the dishes and asked softly: "I didn't expect the sugar to be so fragrant after it is boiled. When should it be cooked?"

They had just finished the lunch business of Wenji Restaurant, and their initial tiredness was all dispelled by the light sweetness.

Wen Jiu stopped stirring and turned the flame to the minimum, "It won't take long, don't worry."

She asked Qiao Shishi to buy some hawthorns and strawberries before the Spring Festival, but she forgot about these fruits after buying them.

It wasn't until she opened the refrigerator this morning to make breakfast and opened the fresh-keeping layer that she found these forgotten fruits.

However, these fruits look like they have just been bought. I don’t know if the refrigerator’s freshness preservation function is too powerful. No matter whether they are hawthorns or strawberries, there is no damage at all.

So she thought she could make do with something to eat, and happened to take it to Wenji Restaurant to make a candied haws for dessert.

Taking advantage of the time it took to boil the syrup, Wen Jiu removed the stems and cores of the washed strawberries and hawthorns, found a handful of high-temperature sterilized wooden skewers and quickly skewered them.

Candied haws on ice is a traditional snack that originated in ancient China and has been preserved and spread to modern China. It can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

It's just that Wen Jiu didn't find any information about candied haws on a stick here. Even before she said she wanted to make candied haws on a stick, the other three people at Wenji Restaurant didn't know about the existence of this snack, which made her feel a little regretful.<

"I've cleaned up the outside, can you let me go upstairs and take a nap?"

Chu Jiayan lazily walked in with a mop. He yawned sleepily, and his charming deep purple eyes couldn't help but be covered with a layer of water, making him look charming and somewhat innocent.<

/p>

After making the bed last night, he thought he had a bed to sleep in, but he didn't expect Wen Jiu to be so vindictive.

He had been sleeping on the bed for less than two hours when the other party used vines to drag him to the ground.

Wen Jiu also warned him that he was not allowed to go to bed and that he had to experience the pain of sleeping on the floor. If he was not willing to sleep on the floor of the guest room, he would sleep in the living room. In short, he was not allowed to go to bed.

At that time, he was so angry that he almost wanted to activate his superpowers and start a fight with the other party, but now he was eating and living on other people's property, and if a fight broke out, he would probably be kicked out and sleep on the street.

So he endured it silently, hugged the quilt and lay down on the floor, and then slept all night long.

But as the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. He had slept on a soft big bed for several days, and suddenly he had to sleep on a cold and hard floor, which really made him unable to sleep well all night.

"Okay, this is the key to the second floor. You can go up." Wen Jiu had just finished skewering all the fruits. She found the key from her apron and threw it away.

I saw the key drawing a beautiful parabola in mid-air, and then landed steadily in Chu Jiayan's hand.

"Then I'm leaving. If you have something...don't call me if you have something."

Chu Jiayan walked out of the kitchen directly carrying the mop. This scene made both Li Qingyu and Qiao Shishi a little stunned.

The two of them pricked up their ears until they heard the door on the second floor close, and then they quickly asked questions in a low voice.

"Has Brother Hei regained his memory? Also, the way he took the keys just now was a bit cool."

"I feel like Brother Hei must have remembered it. He doesn't look as stupid as before. He looked like a stupid and handsome guy before."

Although the two of them deliberately lowered their voices, their words were still extremely noisy.

The main reason is that they are too concerned about whether Chu Jiayan has recovered his memory, and they are also curious about whether Chu Jiayan has the memory of being a cat.

If so, it would be too embarrassing for them.

After all, both of them have done things like chasing Xiao Hei and luring Xiao Hei with dried fish.

Although they wanted to convince themselves not to confuse Xiao Hei with Chu Jiayan, the fact was that Xiao Hei was indeed transformed by Chu Jiayan.

"How should I say, I think I got it back." Wen Jiu saw that the syrup in the pot had turned amber, so he estimated that the syrup was almost cooked.

She picked up a chopstick and dipped it in the syrup, then quickly dipped the chopstick into the cold water. The thick syrup solidified immediately in the cold water and turned into something like ice crystals.

"Li Qingyu, take a bite and see if it's crispy or sticky." She handed the chopsticks to Li Qingyu and motioned for him to bite down and taste it.

She mainly wanted to divert the attention of the two children so that they would not be entangled in Chu Jiayan's retrieval of memory.

Chu Jiayan's words are not called retrieving memory at all. He has not lost his memory at all and is just pretending to be stupid.

"Well, it's crispy! It's so sweet!"

Li Qingyu felt that the rock candy in his mouth tasted a little crunchy, and although the taste was sweet, it was not greasy, which made him want to dip his chopsticks in some syrup to try.

However, after he finished tasting, Wen Jiu drove him aside.

I saw the other party using a small brush to apply a thin layer of cooking oil on the smooth baking sheet, then picked up a wooden skewer with fruit on it and rolled it into the iron pot.

After rolling it in the pot several times, she placed the fruit skewers covered in syrup on the baking sheet, then picked up the next fruit skewer and repeated the action.

"Wow, these fruits become shiny after being coated in syrup."

Qiao Shishi went to the baking pan with starry eyes. She saw that the red and shiny strawberries were like being coated with crystals. They looked crystal clear and had a faint luster. Not to mention how beautiful and attractive they were.

.

"When can we eat it? I've just finished lunch not long ago, but now I'm hungry again." Li Qingyu was also watching expectantly. He wanted to taste what this candied haws would taste like.
p>

When Wen Jiu said he was going to make candied haws, he was still thinking about mixing the candied haws with rock sugar. This dark-sounding method was too unappetizing.

I didn’t expect that the other party only used a few ingredients to make such a beautiful little dessert.

It’s just that he didn’t quite understand why it was named Candied Haws when it was obviously hawthorn and strawberry, so he expressed his doubts.

Wen Jiu patiently explained it to him, and then he realized that it was because the hawthorns looked like gourds when they were strung together.
