Yang Xu went to the mountain with Wang Dayi and Tianbao the next day. She planned to take a look around, and it would be much safer with Wang Dayi taking her.

Walking very slowly along the way, Yang Xu looked left and right, and to her surprise she found some wild ginger and Sichuan peppercorns.

The poplars carefully dug them up and put them in their backpacks. As for the wild vegetables and mushrooms on the road, the poplars did not pick them.

She came mainly for the hawthorn trees this time. Brother Dayi said that there are several hawthorn trees on this mountain.

"Wow, there are indeed a lot of hawthorns here! However, this one is particularly sour, sister, is this really delicious?"

"Really, I'll be the first one to taste it later. It's sour and sweet. You'll definitely like it."

Yang Xu also discovered that the top of the hawthorn tree was bright red and there were so many fruits. Maybe because they were so sour, even the birds in the mountains didn't eat them.

"Come on, let's pick more today, just pick the ones without wormholes and the ones that are red and ripe."

It was much faster for three people to pick together, and they picked a basket in no time.

"Okay, it's almost done, let's go home!"

…

After returning home, Yang Xu did not let Tianbao help. Wang Dayi washed the hawthorns. Yang Xu took a knife and took out some of the seeds in the hawthorns.

When Yang Xu ate candied haws in the past, she didn't like to eat hawthorn cores, but one of her colleagues once said that if the hawthorn in candied haws has no core, what's the taste? It's not authentic.

So, Yang Xu took out part of the core so that he could make some other flavors.

For example, there are some with glutinous rice inside, and some with bean paste inside.

In fact, there are other types, but the materials for poplar catkins are limited. The glutinous rice is bought in the town, now called sticky rice, and the price is about the same as rice.

As for the bean paste, it was the red beans that Yang Xu exchanged from space. After getting a big bag, Yang Xu planted a small patch, and there wasn't much left, but it was enough to make a few bunches of candied haws.

Yang Xu boiled the sticky rice with sugar, added more water, and cooked it until it became slightly mushy.

Red beans are also boiled with sugar and mashed into bean paste with a wooden mallet.

Then cut open the washed hawthorn, remove part of it, and stuff the sticky rice and bean paste inside respectively.

While Yang Xu was preparing, Wang Dayi had already cut down the bamboo and cut it into bamboo sticks.

Yang Xu was afraid that it would be dirty, so she boiled all the bamboo skewers before starting to skewer the hawthorns.

Then start boiling the syrup, and you have to control the heat well, because the sugar is very easy to burn, and it should be slightly yellow.

Then quickly put the dressed hawthorn in the pot and roll it around, and then the syrup will quickly solidify on the hawthorn.

Yang Xu made dozens of skewers in one breath until all the sugar was used up.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

Tianbao came out to see it a long time ago, and his mouth was wide open in surprise. It suddenly became so beautiful!

It’s even prettier than the Sugar Man, with the clear syrup on the red hawthorns. It’s particularly tempting!

"Little greedy cat." Yang Xu tapped Tianbao's nose in a funny way.

"Here, here you go. Try it."

Eating too much hawthorn will make your teeth sore, and this bunch is quite big. So, Yang Xu specially made a few mixed bunches, all hawthorn ones, as well as bean paste and sticky rice ones.

"Brother Dayi, please give it a try."

"Um."

Wang Dayi responded with a smile, Xu'er always has a lot of ideas and amazing cooking skills. It seems that any strange things will appear delicious when placed in Xu'er's hands.

"It's delicious. The hawthorn one is delicious, the sticky rice one and the red filling are also delicious."

Tianbao took two mouthfuls and ate happily. He loved the sweet and sour taste the most. His sister was indeed the best to him!

He felt that this one, yes, it was called Candied Haws, and it had become the second one in his favorite food list. The first one was Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, after all, it was meat!

Although Wang Dayi doesn't like the sweet and sour taste, he unexpectedly likes the bean paste filling.

Obviously, the bean paste also has sugar added, which makes it sweeter. But Wang Dayi likes the taste very much. It's crunchy and delicious!

He knew that this red bean paste was made from red beans, and the red beans were exchanged from that magical space. Well, Xuer also planted a small piece of it, so that he could eat it in the future.

Yang Xu also likes to eat bean paste stuffing, which is the same as Wang Dayi.

Yang Xu saw the good response to the candied haws, and expressed his thoughts with a smile.

"What do you think about me taking it to the town and selling it?"

"Okay, okay! It must be very popular. I saw a lot of children in the town last time, and they must like it. Sister, I will sell it with you." Tianbao was the first to agree, and he also wanted to follow.

You can give your sister a few shouts.

"I'll go with you."

Wang Dayi also agreed. When he saw that Xu'er had prepared so much, Wang Dayi guessed it. He had no idea that women should not be exposed to the public. If Xu'er wanted to go, he supported it.

"Okay, we'll go tomorrow morning. In the evening, we'll go down the mountain and I'll send a few skewers to my cousin Mumu's house."

"good."

Wang Dayi still went out in the afternoon, walked around and took a look at the traps he had set up in the past few days.

The spiritual spring water from Yangxu was used in the trap. He accidentally discovered that the rabbits raised in his yard were particularly sensitive to the spiritual spring water, which was diluted. Wang Dayi had a sudden idea and added something to the trap.

The result was really unexpected, wow! There really was a big guy, a deer!

Venison is very expensive, and deer blood, velvet antlers, antlers... in short, every part of a deer's body is a treasure.

Wang Dayi also accidentally shot a deer before and sold it to shopkeeper Li for one hundred taels. Later, shopkeeper Li also told himself clearly that he also sold it separately to wealthy businessmen in the town. He sold a total of one hundred and eighty taels.

silver!

However, because it was shopkeeper Li who had a way to sell it at a good price, Wang Dayi had nothing to say. He would be very satisfied if he could get a hundred taels. This opportunity is rare, and it has only happened once in these years!

Wang Dayi suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, took off his clothes, and bandaged the wound on the deer's body to prevent the blood from bleeding too much.

The trap was set far away, and the deer may have been trapped in the trap for a day or two. Although it was not dead, it was still dying.

Wang Dayi carried the deer and went home quickly.

When they got home, Yang Xu was also shocked. She didn't expect this spiritual spring water to be so effective!

The two of them didn't dare to put the deer outside and put it directly in the kitchen.

Wang Dayi handled it carefully, throwing away almost nothing, even the deer blood was put into a big gourd.

"Brother Dayi, when we go down the mountain, I will go to my aunt's house, and you will go to my uncle's house and spend money to rent his donkey cart for a day. We, the deer, have to keep it a secret. It will be early tomorrow morning

Just leave."

"Okay. Let's go now."
