Chapter 392 Candied haws 1
The full moon on one side is covered by dark clouds, while the rising sun on the other side brings light.

The soft white sugar in the iron pot gradually melted, a faint sweet smell permeated the air, and the warm sunlight slowly fell down, making everything so peaceful and beautiful.

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

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

Qiao Shishi was also looking at the iron pot. She wiped the dishes and asked softly, "I never thought white sugar would be so fragrant after boiling. When will it be good?"

They just finished the lunch business of Wenji Restaurant, and the feeling of fatigue was all dispelled by the faint 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 they bought them.

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

However, these fruits look as if they have just been bought, and I don’t know if the refrigerator’s fresh-keeping function is too strong. Whether it is hawthorn or strawberry, there is no damage at all.

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

Taking advantage of the time while the syrup was cooking, Wen Jiu removed the stalks and pits of the washed strawberries and hawthorns, found a wooden skewer that had been sterilized by high temperature, and quickly strung them together.

Candied haws is a traditional snack that originated in ancient China, and has been preserved and passed down 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 here. Even before she said to make candied haws, the other three people in Wenji Restaurant didn't know the existence of this snack, which made her feel a little regretful.

"I cleaned up the outside, can I go upstairs and sleep?"

Chu Jiayan lazily walked in with a mop in hand, he yawned wearily, his bewitching deep purple eyes were covered with a layer of water, making him both charming and innocent.

After the bed was made last night, he thought he had a bed to sleep in, but he never thought that Wen Jiu would be so vengeful.

Less than two hours after he slept on the bed, he was forcibly dragged to the ground with vines.

Wen Jiu also warned him that he was not allowed to go to bed, so he had to experience the pain of sleeping on the floor more. 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 use his ability to fight with the other party, but now he eats other people's house and lives in other people's house. If there is a fight, he will probably be driven out to sleep on the street.

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

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

"Okay, this is the key to the second floor. Go up." Wen Jiu had just finished stringing all the fruits, so she found the key from her apron and threw it away.

I saw that the key drew a beautiful parabola in mid-air, and then landed firmly in Chu Jiayan's palm.

"Then I'm leaving, don't call me if you have something to do."

Chu Jiayan directly walked out of the kitchen with a mop in his hand. Seeing this scene, both Xiao Qingyu and Qiao Shishi were a little dazed.

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

"Did Brother Hei regain his memory? Also, the way he picked up the key just now was a bit cool."

"I think Brother Hei should have remembered it. He is not as stupid as he looked before. He was like a foolish and handsome guy before."

Although the two deliberately lowered their voices, it was still extremely noisy when you spoke to me.

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

If so, they are too embarrassing.

After all, both of them have done things like chasing Xiao Hei and using dried fish to lure Xiao Hei.

Although they wanted to persuade themselves not to confuse Xiao Hei with Chu Jiayan, the fact was that Xiao Hei was really changed by Chu Jiayan.

"How should I put it, I've found it." Wen Jiu saw that the syrup in the pot had boiled to an amber color, so he reckoned that the syrup was almost boiled.

She picked up a chopstick and dipped it in the syrup, then quickly dipped the chopstick into the cold water, and saw that the thick syrup immediately solidified in the cold water, turning into an ice crystal.

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

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

Chu Jiayan said that was not called retrieving memory at all, he was just pretending to be stupid because he didn't have amnesia at all.

"Well, it's crispy! So sweet!"

Xiao Qingyu felt that the rock sugar in his mouth tasted crunchy, and the taste was sweet but not greasy, which made him want to dip another chopstick in some syrup to try.

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

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

After rolling in the pot several times, she put the fruit skewer covered in syrup on the baking tray, and then picked up the next fruit skewer to repeat the previous action.

"Wow, those fruits are all so shiny when they're covered in syrup."

Qiao Shishi approached the baking tray with her starry eyes, and she saw that the ruddy and shiny strawberry seemed to be coated with crystals, it looked crystal clear and had a faint luster, not to mention how beautiful and attractive it was .

"When can I eat it? It's not long since I finished lunch, but I'm hungry again now." Xiao Qingyu was also looking at it expectantly, he really wanted to taste what this candied haws would taste like.

When Wen Jiu said earlier that he was going to make candied haws, he was still wondering whether it was possible to mix gourds with rock candy. This method, which sounds very dark, was too off-putting.

Unexpectedly, 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 called candied haws, which were obviously hawthorn and strawberries, so he expressed his doubts.

It was rare for Wen Jiu to patiently explain it to him, and then he realized that it was because the hawthorn looked like a gourd after being strung together.

In addition, the syrup on the surface is like ice after solidification, so it is named candied haws.
