Chapter 42 Sweet Potato Candy

The next day, when Qiu He was still in his dream, Bai Chuan came over, and he and Shen Baocheng lit the stove in the kitchen, set up a large pot, and boiled a pot of water.Slice the sweet potatoes and put them in according to the ratio of the fermented malt. After boiling, simmer over low heat.

By the time Qiuhe got up, the pot had already turned into a fragrant paste.Bai Chuan sat by the pot, stirring with a shovel from time to time.Qiu He walked in with disheveled hair and dull eyes, and looked into the pot.Seeing that Shen Baocheng wasn't around, Bai Chuan hurriedly moved over, quickly pecked him on the face, and then smugly buried himself in his work as if he had taken advantage of the sky.

Qiu He squinted at him, and decided to come back from teasing him. Seeing that grandpa would not come in for a while, she squatted down next to Bai Chuan and smacked his earlobe.

Bai Chuan froze, with a handsome face blushing, looking at Qiu He shyly and excitedly.Qiuhe was so happy that Shi Shiran left him and went to wash himself.

The two chatted late last night, Qiu He fell asleep first, and it is unknown when Bai Chuan left.Once Qiuhe went to bed late, she would be very sleepy when she woke up early.Looking at Bai Chuan again, he is always full of energy, which makes people suspect that he doesn't need sleep at all.

After breakfast, the three of them worked together to filter out the mush from the pot with a piece of cotton gauze. After filtering out a pot of blue-red water, they put the water into the pot and continued to boil.This process is long and boring. In order to prevent sticking to the pan, people have to keep stirring with a shovel.Shen Baocheng's ribs hadn't healed, and he got up too early, so he couldn't help being a little sleepy at this time, so Bai Chuan said to him, "Grandpa, go and sleep again."

Shen Baocheng felt very sorry, and said, "Although I can't use much strength, I can help here even if I am weak. How can I let you guard alone!"

Qiuhe was taking pictures with his mobile phone next to him. He was very angry when he heard this, and said, "Aren't I a human? Can't I alternate with him? You just like to mutter, so go to sleep!"

Shen Baocheng got a slap from his grandson, stood up obediently, and said with a smile: "Okay! With you two, I'll be lazy too! I'll go to bed for a while, and then call me!"

After all, he went into the room on crutches.There were only two teenagers left in the kitchen.Bai Chuan relaxed, and finally he was able to look at Qiu He unscrupulously. His eyes were hot and lingering, and he never left Qiu He's side for a moment.Qiu He sat down next to him, and the two snuggled up by the fire, which was warm and sweet.

Qiu He grabbed Bai Chuan's idle hand and chatted with him while playing.Bai Chuan's fingers are long and slender, they look white and smooth, but they are covered with calluses, presumably because of his farm work.Qiu He asked, "How old were you when you came to Liangshi Town?"

Bai Chuan was lowering his head and sniffing at his hair. He was startled when he heard the words, thought for a while, and said half-confidently: "I was born here, and I have lived in the mountains since I was a child."

Qiu He was greatly surprised, looked up at him, and said, "Why do Niang and the others say you are from other places? Your parents are also from Liangshi Town?"

"Not really." Bai Chuan hesitated a little, paused and said, "I don't have any impression of my parents. They probably passed away not long after I was born. I have lived alone in the mountains since I was a child."

Qiu He was stunned, with pity and love in his heart, and asked: "How did you live to such an age? Did no one take care of you? Where is your grandpa Lin?"

"Grandpa Lin is not a relative." Bai Chuan stirred the water in the pot, thought for a while and said, "I don't have a surname. I was wandering outside for a while, and I got to know him, so I took this name. Later, I asked him for help and bought a This mountain has been moved back."

No wonder no one from the Lin family has ever come to see him. It turns out that they are not related by blood.Qiu He's heart clenched tightly, thinking, Bai Chuan was still wandering outside, God knows what kind of suffering he has suffered!

He put Bai Chuan's hand on his mouth and kissed him distressedly, and said, "I thought you lived in Lin's family since you were a child, not to mention how much you were loved, at least you had no worries about food and clothing, and you were sent here later. Really. Thinking of..., it was very difficult to live alone in the past, right?"

"Fortunately," Bai Chuan smiled, and said in a low voice, "After accumulating luck for many years, I finally met you."

Qiuhe's heart was sour and satisfied, and her eye circles were a little red.The two sat snuggled together for a while, and Bai Chuan suddenly said, "Qiu He, if——I mean, if, one day, you find that I am different from what you imagined, will you be disappointed?"

Qiu He glanced at him, smiled and said, "What did you do? Why did you let me down?"

Bai Chuan was a little nervous, "It's just a hypothetical, what would you do if I let you down?"

Qiu He was puzzled at first, did he do something bad?Thinking about it again, this idiot is struggling to even tell a lie, what could he commit?Immediately relieved by this thought, he said, "If you let me down, I'll beat you up!"

Bai Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay, I won't move, I'll let you beat me!"

Qiu He laughed, Bai Chuan put his arms around him and kissed him again, and murmured: "Just don't leave me, okay?"

Qiu He stopped laughing, held his hand tightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry! Don't think about it all day long!" After a pause, he squinted at him again and said: "Since I kissed you, I have to treat you You are in charge!"

Bai Chuan was full of smiles, and was about to speak when Qiu He suddenly yelled, "I can smell the smell! Stir it up!"

The two immediately grabbed the spatula in a hurry and stirred it hard. Fortunately, the pot didn't stick to each other. After they stopped, they both looked at each other and laughed.

The pot of water became more viscous as it boiled, and gradually turned into a pot of amber syrup by noon, filling the room with a sweet fragrance.The fragrance is different from all flavors and fragrances, it is the fragrance of the plant itself, it is fragrant but not greasy, and it is extremely attractive.

Shen Baocheng also got up early, and made a simple lunch with Qiu He. The three of them ate hastily, and Qiu He stretched his neck beside him, waiting eagerly for the sugar to be boiled.

At this time, it is difficult to stir.Bai Chuan monopolizes the spatula and does not let those two intervene.As the technical director, Shen Baocheng stood by the side with a pair of chopsticks, picking up a little bit from time to time, until the syrup was boiled to a bright yellow color and could be rolled up with chopsticks. , Passed it to Qiuhe and said, "Eat it at the side!"

Qiuhe picked up the small spoon, dug a spoonful and put it in his mouth, Bai Chuan hurriedly shouted: "Hot!"

But it was too late.Qiu He was scalded with the tip of her tongue, and she blew while jumping, not forgetting to praise: "It smells so good! It tastes so good!"

Seeing his greedy look, the other two couldn't help laughing.

Sweet Potato Syrup is similar to honey. It is not too sweet and tastes good, but it is more fragrant and tastes better than honey.While eating, Qiuhe fed another spoonful to Shen Baocheng. Shen Baocheng tasted it, nodded and said, "I haven't eaten candy that I have boiled for more than ten years. This taste is really worthless!"

His hands were not idle for a moment, and after scooping out a few cans of syrup, he took out the fried rice crackers last time, scooped them into the pot with a large bowl, and Bai Chuan stirred vigorously beside him, mixing the fried rice and syrup evenly. At the same time, Shen Baocheng kneaded it into a ball while it was hot, and it became a sweet potato candy.

While eating, Qiuhe took time to take pictures beside her, and when the candies cooled, she tasted another one.I only feel the sweetness of sweet potato sugar, accompanied by the crispness of fried rice flower is really delicious.

"Grandpa, I didn't expect you to have this skill! It's really delicious!" He broke off a piece while eating, and fed it to Shen Baocheng. If Shen Baocheng didn't want to eat it, he handed it to Bai Chuan.Bai Chuan tasted it with his hand, and nodded in praise.

Shen Baocheng said with a smile: "Many people in this town can cook sweet potato candies and save candies. It's not too tricky, it's just a waste of time. During the Chinese New Year, every family boiled it. But in recent years, there have been more snacks. , Young people love to eat those potato chips and biscuits, and there are fewer people who are willing to work hard to cook sugar. It's not for you, and I'm too lazy!"

Qiu He flattered her and said, "Grandpa, you planted the rice yourself, boiled the sugar yourself, all handmade, pure natural green food, how can something like potato chips compare?"

Shen Baocheng felt comfortable in the photo, and immediately bragged: "Grandpa is very capable! There are so many snacks he can make! If you like to eat, I will make it later!"

That night Qiuhe ate enough candies and didn't even eat dinner.When Bai Chuan and Shen Baocheng ate, he sat at the table and watched.Shen Baocheng frowned and said: "Your appetite is too delicate, how can you look like a boy? You will be full after eating cat food all day long, no wonder you can't grow well!"

Qiu He said angrily: "Which cat do you see eating so much?"

Shen Baocheng said: "The cat I raised before can eat a big bowl of lard bibimbap!"

When Qiu He heard about keeping cats, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Have you ever raised small animals before? What about now?"

"I've died of old age a long time ago!" Shen Baocheng was distracted by Qiu He, and began to miss how smooth his cat was, how good it was at catching mice, and so on.While feeling emotional, Bai Chuan suddenly asked: "Grandpa, can you make kudzu powder?"

"...I don't know how to do it, but I saw that the old grandson in the east of the town did it." After a pause, Shen Baocheng said to himself: "Yes, why didn't I think of such a good thing as kudzu powder? Go to the mountain to find some old old ones. Pueraria, come back and ask Lao Sun to help make powder, take a bowl of water and eat it every day, it is nourishing and not bitter!"

Bai Chuan hurriedly said: "I know where there is a good kudzu root! I will dig it!"

After finishing speaking, the two of them looked at the coquettish boy sitting next to them, each of them had their own thoughts.Qiu He was furious at the sight, and said angrily, "What's wrong with me?"

After Bai Chuan returned, Qiu He and Grandpa packed up and went back to their rooms to rest.Qiu He lay on the bed, flipping through the photos taken today.In several photos, Bai Chuan is looking up and smiling at him, his whole body is extremely handsome and shining brightly.Qiu He stared at it crazily for a while, then leaned up and kissed him again, tapped the forehead of the man in the photo and said, "Stupid!"

Before going to bed, he picked out a few pictures of making candies and sent them to Moments.As a result, I got up early the next day and turned on my phone. My former classmates and friends left a long list of wailing, some shouted for sweet potato candy, some begged for candy, and they all yelled for him to help buy it and send it over. , let them have a taste too.

These days, the world is full of foodies.

Qiuhe's heart was moved, and he simply started a wechat business. He set a price for Tangtangzi and sweet potato candy, and advertised in Moments, and the effect was surprisingly good.On the one hand, this is of course because he is very popular with Shen, on the other hand, Shen Qiuhe, who is famous for his mouth, has recommended it, and it looks very attractive. Who wouldn't want to buy it and try it?

By the afternoon, the messages and messages on the phone were almost exploding.Qiu He showed the order to his grandfather and Bai Chuan. The three of them were very excited. Shen Baocheng soaked the wheat that night and prepared to make a few more big pots. Xiao Zhi's friend sent out the first shipment.

The Shen family's sweet potatoes and yin rice were obviously not enough, so Shen Baocheng went to the town, gathered a few old people who could boil sugar, and mobilized everyone to make sweet potato candies and candies together.A few old people heard that they could earn money while sitting at home, and they were overjoyed. They immediately started to make money after returning home. For a while, the whole town was filled with the unique sweet smell of sweet potato candies.
