I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food

"Miss Xu, this is the last time we will come to deliver lemons."

The man grinned, as all the lemons nearby had been picked by him and his wife. Although they couldn't continue working, they were still very satisfied.

Compared to the first time they met, the man was obviously much darker, and the woman had her head wrapped tightly with a cloth, leaving only her eyes exposed.

Xu Si nodded and paid the money. Nowadays, there are not many ways to eat lemons, and no one specializes in growing lemons. It is already good enough to be able to receive them until today.

"If there is a chance next year, we can cooperate again."

"Sure, sure." The man agreed hurriedly.

"By the way, this is the hawthorn that grows on the tree in front of our house. I'll give it to you to try. Thank you for your care for so long."

The woman spoke cheerfully, handing over the basket slung over her arm.

"Then I won't be polite, but you need to wait a moment," Xu Si turned and went into the house, transferred the hawthorns in the basket to his own basin, and packed some osmanthus mochi and put them in.

As the woman took the basket, Xu Si explained, "This is a packet for you to try. It's just a small snack."

The mochi I made last time have been eaten, so I made some more before the osmanthus flowers fell completely.

"Then we are in for a treat. Everyone knows that your cooking is delicious. I'm sure these snacks are extraordinary too." The woman chuckled and praised.

After returning to the kitchen, the hawthorn had been cleaned by the diligent An Yu.

Each one is big and red, but the handle is crooked.

This season is also the season for eating hawthorns, and the price is not expensive, so she accepted it happily.

I picked one at random and tasted it. It tasted a bit sour.

Hawthorns can be divided into sour and sweet ones. The sour ones are suitable for making candied haws, while the sweet ones are suitable for making sugar snowballs.

It is said that hawthorn has the effects of lowering blood lipids, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and promoting digestion.

It just so happened that we ate a lot of pig skin yesterday, and everyone said they had some indigestion.

She was responsible for cutting the hawthorn horizontally, while others helped to remove the core.

"Second aunt, what are you going to do?" Qi Ning asked curiously.

"I'll make you some candied haws. Do you want to eat some?"

"I do," Qi Ning nodded vigorously.

He hadn't eaten candied haws many times, and his impression of them was that they tasted sour and sweet. The ones made by his second aunt must be better.

Thinking that eating too many candied haws was not good, Xu Si took out a handful of bamboo sticks and, with a little force, broke them in half.

She suddenly thought of a proverb, "A single chopstick is easy to break, but a bunch of chopsticks is hard to break", which is about unity.

But for her, the facts show that as long as she has enough strength, breaking a pair of chopsticks is easy.

What is this indicating?

In the face of a strong enough force, everything is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, so don't overestimate your own capabilities.

Everyone was used to this scene. An Yu was shocked at first, but now he was used to it.

However, he just thought that it was a training exercise from flipping the wok while cooking, and he always had the mentality that he would be able to do it in the future.

There are exactly two hawthorns on each half skewer, for a total of 20 skewers. Half of them have nothing added, and the other half have walnut kernels in the middle.

The fillings of modern hawthorn candied haws are very rich, and can be filled with date paste, red bean paste, glutinous rice, purple sweet potato, and black sesame. Unfortunately, they are too late to make them now, so they can only make do with what they have.

Oh, yes, you can also add chocolate and cantaloupe sauce, both are absolutely delicious.

After the hawthorn is prepared, you can boil the sugar. This is the most important thing. If the heat is too light, it will stick to your teeth, and if the heat is too high, it will easily fail.

Add sugar and water to the pot in the ratio of two to one. Cook over medium heat first. When white bubbles appear, do not stir. Switch to low heat. When the sugar liquid starts to bubble up and turns slightly yellow, dip it with chopsticks and put it in cold water. If it makes a crisp sound when you bite it, it means it's cooked.

"Xiao Yu, you have a really good grasp of the timing." Xu Si couldn't help but praise.

No matter what temperature she wanted, he would respond immediately and adjust it to the desired temperature as quickly as possible.

An Yu was a little embarrassed, probably because he had been a firefighter for a year and a half when he was an apprentice in the palace, so he had some experience. He scratched his head and said, "I can be your firefighter for the rest of my life."

Xu Si was happy, "Then there's no need, it would be a waste of talent."

An Yu has good talent and is willing to work hard. I believe that it won’t be long before he can fully master the current dishes, and she can take a break.

Roll the hawthorn in the sugar solution, place it on a plate and let it sit for a few minutes. When the sugar hardens, you can eat it.

Seeing that there was still a lot of sugar liquid left, Xu Si picked up the peppers and cucumbers beside him and rolled them in it.

Everyone was stunned and shocked, speechless.

After a while, Su Jinyue's voice finally rang out, "Ah Si, is this also considered a candied haws?"

"Of course, everything can be made into candied haws." Xu Si said as he searched the kitchen for something else that could be used.

But she can do it, but she can't guarantee what it will taste like.

Seeing Xu Si's serious look, the others were also eager to try. They picked out something they wanted to try and asked Xu Si to coat it with some sugar liquid.

Garlic, onions, ginger, potato chips, etc., even the prepared dishes are not spared, and a piece of Mapo tofu is taken out to wrap it.

The final results are naturally mixed. For example, the cucumber candied haws are very good, with a fresh fragrance, while the scallion candied haws are just so-so, the taste is hard to describe.

They didn't dare to try the rest and decided to go and cause trouble for other guests.

Not to mention, there are really curious customers who buy it. They don’t care if it doesn’t taste good, they just treat it as a new experience.

Put all the remaining hawthorns into the pot, add appropriate amount of water and rock sugar, bring to a boil over high heat, and turn off the heat when they are soft.

Use a rolling pin to beat it into a paste and continue to simmer on low heat until it becomes a paste that does not drip easily.

Smelling sour and sweet, Xu Si scooped out a spoonful and spread it directly on the steamed buns, which also had a unique taste.

Who says that only bread can be paired with jam? Steamed buns are just as good, right?

Divide the cooked sauce into four parts.

Pour it directly into a bowl and flatten it. After it is shaped, it becomes hawthorn cake.

Roll it into a ball with your hands and then coat it with a layer of white sugar to make a hawthorn ball.

Spread it evenly on a baking tray, put it into a clay kiln to dry, and cut it into small pieces to make hawthorn slices.

Put it into the mold, insert a bamboo stick, and after it cools and sets, it becomes a hawthorn lollipop.

Xu Si looked at the many finished products, put his hands on his hips proudly, and called on others to come and eat.

This is not like modern times, where the food sold may contain additives. These foods are made entirely by ourselves, so you can eat them with confidence.
