"Oh, how much sugar will it take? I won't do it!"

Manbao was stunned for a moment, then struggled for a moment and said, "But sister-in-law, I want to eat it."

She felt that since she had promised her nephews and nieces, she had to keep it. After all, she was the elder and could lead by example.

After thinking about it like this, Manbao became even more insistent, "Sister-in-law, let's do it. I'll buy the brown sugar."

Big Tou didn't run away anymore, lying at the door and looking at his mother eagerly. If Xiao Qian wanted to refuse, he rolled it on the tip of his tongue. Even the youngest Sanya and Si Tou ran up to him, raising their little heads and watching eagerly.

she.

Xiao Qian thought about it, it was already winter, and it was hard for the children to relax, so just give them some snacks.

She reluctantly agreed, but asked Manbao: "Do you know how to make candied haws? I don't know."

Man Bao immediately said: "I'm going to read a book!"

Keke has carefully searched for the relevant records and integrated them for her. In fact, the production of candied haws is similar, and yam beans only have one more step than fruit-based ones.

That means cooking it.

Xiao Qian is very talented in cooking. Many things Man Bao wants to eat are told to her. Sometimes she can’t explain clearly, such as a little salt and a little oil. There is no specific amount, but Xiao Qian is

Know how much to add.

Feng, He and Zhou Xi all took turns cooking, but it was up to the Zhou family, old and young, to make the choice. They were very willing that Xiao Qian would always be in charge of the kitchen.

It's a pity that she is very busy, and Mrs. Qian is not willing to let her daughters-in-law fixate on one thing. In her opinion, if Mr. Qian is only responsible for the kitchen at home, then the old couple will no longer be around, and the six-bedroom house will be divided.

Xiao Qian must be unskilled in other things about the house, and the other daughters-in-law must not be very good at cooking either.

So even though Xiao Qian was the best cook in the family, Qian didn't let her stay in the kitchen all the time.

It was the same this time. Man Bao didn't know how to make candied haws, and had never even seen it made. But as soon as she said that she had to boil the yam beans first, then dry them in the air, and then skewer them with skewers, Xiao Qian knew how to make them.

She asked Daya and others to wash the yam beans and then boil water to boil the yam beans.

The family has eaten yam beans several times, and she figured out a way to peel them. She boiled them at high temperature, took them out to dry and cool, then used a bamboo knife to scrape the skin, and then gently rubbed the yam beans.

The skin of the beans will come out.

It's much easier to peel it with a knife than when it's raw, and it's so easy to itch your hands when it's raw.

Man Bao drooled over the yam beans, then ran to borrow brown sugar from the village chief's house.

It's too late to buy it at the supermarket at this time, so I'll borrow it first and buy it back tomorrow and then return it.

As Manbao ran, he asked Keke, "Is the yam, bean and candied haws really delicious?"

Keke said nothing.

Manbao didn't need him to answer, and said to himself, "If it tastes good, then I will eat two more skewers. The yam beans are so delicious, and its candied haws may be delicious..."

Thinking of this, Manbao finally started to look forward to it and ran faster towards the village chief's house.

By the time she brought the brown sugar back, Xiao Qian had already chopped up the chicken and stewed the yam beans. Da Tou and the others were working hard to peel the yam beans. It was a benefit to have more children at home. There were people to do such odd jobs.

No need for adults to waste time.

Then Xiao Qian took Man Bao into the kitchen and studied how to hang the candies on the candied haws while watching the fire.

Of course Man Bao read according to the information given by Ke Ke, and Xiao Qian listened to her as if he was reciting it. There were many words that she didn't understand very well, and she had to explain them.

When she finally figured it out, the chicken and yam beans were cooked.

Xiao Qian took out the vegetables, cooked some more cabbage, and then walked out with it. She said to the children who were rubbing the skins excitedly: "Okay, let's eat first and then cook after eating. Da Tou, go quickly."

Ask your grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts and aunts to come back for dinner."

A group of children have already smelled the aroma. Although meat is often available at home this year, they still can't help but salivate.

Da Tou turned around and ran towards the next door. Da Ya and the others also stopped and went to set up tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks.

Man Bao was responsible for standing aside and waiting for food. Of course, she was checking how the yam peeling was going.

Although Xiao Qian agreed to make candied haws, she didn't want to spoil the children. She put away most of the two large bamboo baskets of yam beans, boiled and peeled the rest, and then put away the ones peeled out from the front.

Stewed in the pot with the chicken.

She had never made candied haws on a stick, so she was not very confident about it, so she poured a lot of it into the pot without ceremony, thinking that if the candied haws were not made successfully, she would stew it with the chicken, so at least it was not wasted, right?

She felt that the dishes stewed with chicken were delicious, as you could tell by watching the adults and children at the dinner table eating the yam and beans inside after finishing the chicken.

So Xiao Qian cooked the remaining yam beans into bunches and found that there were only seven bunches. She looked at the children and decisively peeled off one bunch from each bunch and put it on another bamboo stick. Well, there were eight.

Stringed together.

Eight children, none of them are missing.

After Manbao taught Da Ya and the others the characters they were going to learn today, he ran over and saw it and said, "Sister-in-law, why are there so few in a string?"

"There are quite a few, there are seven or eight on each string."

Xiao Qian began to cook sugar.

Sugar is not cheap, and brown sugar is more expensive than maltose. Xiao Qian was afraid of spoiling the sugar, so he lowered the fire, planning that if it really couldn't be cooked, he would add a spoonful of water to boil it into sugary water for everyone to drink.

Brown sugar replenishes blood.

The clueless Man Bao squatted beside him and drooled while looking at the brown sugar in the pot.

In order to facilitate the operation, Xiao Qian did not use a big pot, but a small pot.

Manbao swallowed and said, "It smells so good. It's better than the candy we usually eat. Sister-in-law, I won't eat maltose or candy in the future. How about brown sugar?"

Xiao Qian knew that Manbao didn't like eating sweets very much, so he thought about it and nodded: "That's okay, then I'll boil eggs with brown sugar for you to eat every morning from now on."

Man Bao asked, "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious," Xiao Qian said matter-of-factly: "Eggs are delicious, and so is brown sugar. Putting these two delicious things together will definitely taste better."

Manbao doesn't think eggs are delicious, but brown sugar looks really delicious. It's impossible for her not to drink egg water anyway. It's not bad to eat boiled eggs with brown sugar.

Man Bao happily agreed.

The brown sugar was getting thicker and thicker. Xiao Qian thought it was almost ready. She clumsily put the skewered yam beans into the pot and stirred before picking it up. She saw that the brown sugar kept falling and could not hold the yam beans at all, so she used it again.

The spoon hangs upward a little.

The first string was not very smooth and made Xiao Qian sweat.
