The sugar at home is full of large pieces of rock sugar. At present, rock sugar is much cheaper than fine granulated sugar. I use more sugar at home, so I use rock sugar to save costs.

Mu Xiu first set up the iron pot, lit the fire, and started to cook the pot.

Then I took out a piece of clean gauze for steaming buns, put a large piece of rock sugar in, picked up the kitchen knife, and started to beat it carefully. When the rock sugar was broken into small pieces, the pot was also heated.

Put the broken rock sugar in an iron pot, add two parts of white sugar to water, add clean water according to the ratio, wait until the water boils, then lower the heat and boil slowly.

The sugar boiled in the pot began to bubble and gradually turned pale yellow. The sweet smell began to spread out. The children in the yard all sucked it from their noses.

At this time, the stringed hawthorns that have been drizzled have also dried.

Mu Xiu took the bamboo stick and put it flat in the pot and turned it around, glued sticky and glossy sugar on every side of each fruit, and then put it on the edge of the basin to dry it again.

"Ruoshi, take all this out. It's too warm here and the sugar is not easy to solidify." After Mu Xiu made a few, he told Ruoshi to take it outside.

6 As soon as Ruoshi took it out, the children all threw down the hawthorn in their hands and ran over cheerfully.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious! Sister Mu Xiu said, you have to wait until the sugar is solidified before you can eat it!" 6 Ruoshi raised the plate high and said.

The sugar condensed very quickly, and the children were in the yard. In the afterglow of the sunset, they watched the hawthorn wrapped in sugar condensed into luster little by little. The sugar that was dying and never dripping gradually appeared in the shape of a thin slice.

Everyone watched the candied haws solidify. When the outer layer of the candied haws gradually condensed into a transparent thin shell, Mu Xiu walked out with the second portion of the candied haws.

"Okay, you can eat it, one string per person."

As soon as Mu Xiu finished speaking, several hands reached towards the candied haws at the same time, and the children happened to be in a string of each.

"It's so delicious!" Mu Chunfeng's eyes lit up after taking a bite.

"So sour and sweet, so delicious." Mu Xiaohua's little man, holding the big candied haws, her whole face was red, and she said vaguely.

"Go and cook quickly, I want to eat ten skewers!" Li Hu said happily.

"Ten strings?! There are still one hundred strings!" Mu Xiu choked.

"A hundred strings are fine! Second Aunt, you are so nice to me!" Li Hu was young after all, and Mu Xiaoshu was not at home. As the only boy in the family, Li Hu was particularly nice to him, and his temperament began to break out again...

"When you finish eating a hundred strings, your teeth will all turn black, and the little bugs will eat all the teeth! Let me take a look, ah! There are little bugs in your teeth!" Mu Xiu said as he leaned closer to look at Li Hu's mouth, and then said in horror.

"Wow!!! I hate insects! Take them away!" Li Hu was frightened by Mu Xiu, and immediately opened his mouth and shouted in a crying voice.

"Look, you teased him again!" Zhou Shuilian patted Mu Xiu in dissatisfaction, then hugged Li Hu and started to coax him.

"It's true. Each person can only eat one skewer a day. After you finish eating later, you have to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth, otherwise your teeth will be broken. Do you know?" Mu Xiu told the rest of the people.

"I understand!" the children replied in unison.

It was only a few adults' turn to eat the second serving of candied haws.

"I took out the core and it tasted so much more convenient!" Zhou Shuilian praised her.

"I've lived a long life and it's the first time I've eaten such candied haws. Tsk, people nowadays really know how to eat them." Aunt Chen bit and tasted them carefully.

"Muxiu, are the candied haws in the provincial capital like this?" Chen Xuhui asked curiously.

"Well, not much. I saw it occasionally, so I asked someone about it. I bought this tool for a lot of money. If I hadn't seen so many hawthorns at home, I would have forgotten this." Mu Xiu lied.

No one in the family was suspicious about what Mu Xiu said. They all said that the person who thought of this method must be a delicious guy...

"You, you like to do such strange things. You have to save money and keep it flowing." Zhou Shuilian nodded Mu Xiu's head with her fingers.

"I can make money!" Mu Xiu replied dissatisfiedly.

"How to make money?"

"There are so many hawthorn fruits in the family. As the Chinese New Year approaches, who doesn't like to eat candied haws? We all make candied haws and sell them in the county town. There are also these kiwi fruits and life-saving fruits, which can make a lot of money!"

"Mu Xiu is right. Such hollow candied haws will definitely make people who see them afraid of them. If I met them, I would have to buy them and try them." Chen Jianqiang nodded repeatedly.

"Just put it in Dujuan's store and you will make money for the New Year!" Mushui also praised her repeatedly.

"You are the most quirky, let's do it!" Zhou Shuilian felt a little embarrassed.

Everyone started to get busy and started making various candied haws early the next morning. Some were stuffed with walnuts in their hollows, some were stuffed with life-saving fruits in their hollows, and some were wearing wild kiwis, as well as a kiwi and a hawthorn.

In short, Mu Xiu tried his best to make use of what he could use. The children were rewarded with eating candied haws every day, and everyone was full of energy.

In the evening, I made two hundred strings of candied haws. These candied haws were tied on sticks made of straw from wooden water. They were tidied in a full ten pieces. Each stick was covered with a layer of oil paper and tied tightly at the bottom, which prevented the dust from falling out during transportation.

These sticks full of candied haws were fixed on the ox cart. Early the next morning, Mushui and Chen Jianqiang took them to the county town.

Zhou Dujuan couldn't believe her eyes when she saw these candied haws. She praised them repeatedly. In the end, these candied haws were placed in front of the store. It took only two hours to sell them all.

This is the first time we have seen this kind of candied haw. As the Chinese New Year approaches, the traffic on the street is large. Even if the hollow candied haws are twice as expensive than ordinary people without cores, many people still buy them, and some even buy one at once.

"Brother Mushui, you can make more tomorrow, it's not enough to sell it! We have sold out all of this, but we haven't tasted a single one." Zhou Dujuan handed Mushui the money for selling candied haws, and then said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go back now and leave some food for you tomorrow." Mu Shui took the 60 yuan handed over by Zhou Dujuan and replied, patting his chest.
