I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

"After catching it, you need to drain the water and then marinate it with sugar."

"Are there any specific requirements for the proportion of sugar?" Zhang Xiujuan asked.

"The ratio should be about the same as the amount of winter melon! As for requirements, there doesn't seem to be any, but if we want all the winter melon to be dipped in sugar, it's best to have a layer of winter melon and a layer of sugar. That should be more reasonable."

Zhang Xiujuan thought to herself: "Okay! You said it all. If it doesn't work, I'll only do it this once. It's really too much trouble."

Liu Xiaoxiao didn't know her grandmother was already thinking of backing out. She was still recalling, "This time, pickling will probably take another two days."

Zhang Xiujuan was numb and stopped asking questions. She just watched and listened.

"Next, pour the winter melon and the pickled winter melon syrup into the pot. Bring the syrup to a boil over high heat first, then slowly stir-fry without stirring. When the syrup is almost dry, reduce the heat to low and continue stir-frying for about an incense stick, then turn off the heat. Use the residual heat in the pot to slowly stir-fry for another half an incense stick, then you can take it out."

Zhang Xiujuan heard her finally finish and said, "Is it done?"

Liu Xiaoxiao: "Of course."

Zhang Xiujuan sighed and said, "That's fine. I won't go out this afternoon. With the flow rate here, we should be able to finish it before going to bed tonight."

But she couldn't bear to let Liu Xiaoxiao stay in there all the time, so she brought Grandma Liu out.

He said he would bring her in when he needed to light a fire and fry something at night.

Zhang Xiujuan thought about it carefully and felt that there seemed to be nothing for her to do if she stayed, so she followed Liu Xiaoxiao's arrangement.

In the evening, just as the people who built Zhufu's house had finished their meal and left, Liu Xiaoxiao heard Zhufu say that he would go to town early the next day.

Liu Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Isn't our house almost finished? Why is Grandpa going to town now?"

Liu Yingcai saw her bewildered look and knew she had never seen it in town before. He explained, "It's like this. In our village, when someone built a new house, they would scatter some fruits and snacks on the beams when they put them up."

Liu Xiaoxiao: "If this is an old custom, why didn't you tell us to prepare these when you bought the bricks?"

Liu Kun raised his hand and said, "I know this because Grandpa didn't expect it to be built so quickly and was afraid it would break down after he bought it."

Liu Xiaoxiao nodded to indicate that she understood.

If this were built under normal circumstances, it would really break down.

But since grandpa is going to town, she must make winter melon candy successfully tonight.

This way, she can go to town with her grandfather tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoxiao immediately pulled her grandmother into the space.

What you need to do next is to follow the steps mentioned above and implement them step by step.

Before long, their winter melon candies were ready, like exquisite works of art. Looking at their "masterpieces," the grandparents and grandchildren were filled with joy.

Then Liu Xiaoxiao took one out and handed it to her grandmother to taste. Unexpectedly, although it was covered with a lot of powdered sugar, it tasted sweet but not greasy.

Looking at her granddaughter who was still waiting for her results, Zhang Xiujuan smiled and said, "Not bad, the sweetness is just right. Your winter melon candy is a great success!"

After getting the result she wanted, Liu Xiaoxiao laughed happily: "Grandma, it seems that it's really a good idea to read more books when you have nothing to do."

Zhang Xiujuan nodded in agreement.

The next morning, Liu Xiaoxiao got up early. She first carefully wrapped the winter melon candy in oil paper, and then followed her grandfather to the town.

The town was already bustling with traffic early in the morning.

The two of them first walked around the center of the market before finding a suitable location to set up their stall.

"Grandpa, aren't you going to buy something? Go ahead! I can watch here by myself. By the way, sugar, remember to buy me more sugar." Liu Xiaoxiao said.

Zhufu was a little worried about leaving her here alone, but then he thought that if both of them stayed here to sell goods, it would probably delay their return.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to go shopping himself first and then come over to help her sell.

"Okay, if it's not sold, don't worry. Grandpa will be back to help you soon. Don't run around everywhere, okay?"

Liu Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "I'm not a child anymore, go ahead and don't worry, Grandpa."
