Traveling through shopping malls, making a fortune by selling instant noodles

But what else can hawthorn be used for besides making candied haws?

What would the dish taste like if it were made like this?

Looking at Lin Zhi who was following behind, she was holding a paper bag with steam coming out of it.

"Quick, Shuang'er, give me a chestnut!"

Linzhi held out the paper bag in front of Wei Shuang. Wei Shuang looked down and saw steam coming out of small, round, and flat brown things. Each of them had a small crack, revealing the golden flesh inside.

Wei Shuang picked up one and broke it open along the opening. The shell opened easily, revealing a whole, round chestnut. She pinched it and put it in her mouth. It had a soft and sticky texture and a unique, naturally sweet aroma. It was really delicious.

"I seem to have seen this chestnut somewhere before."

Wei Shuang picked up another chestnut and looked at it. Why did this little thing look so familiar?

“When it grows on a tree, it looks like a small ball covered in green thorns.”

Seeing Wei Shuang thinking seriously, Lin Yutang described the chestnut's original form.

"Yes, yes, yes! I remember now. When I was a kid, I saw this thing on the hill behind our village. It was a small green ball covered with thorns. It would hurt if it fell and hit someone, so no one wanted to go near it.

But the thing sticking out of the green ball looks like this chestnut."

It turns out that chestnuts are so delicious! No one has ever thought that they can be used as food.

Here, Lin Yutang has already started preparing to make sugar snowballs.

Remove the branches and bottom of the fresh hawthorn, wash it with water, and control the surface moisture.

Add sugar to the pot, then add enough water to cover the sugar, stir evenly with a spatula and turn on the fire. The fire does not need to be too high, and stir from time to time with a spatula.

Simmer for about five minutes until the sugar water in the pot becomes slightly thick and you can turn off the heat.

After turning off the heat, wait for the sugar water to cool down for two or three minutes, then you can pour the hawthorns into the pot and stir-fry the hawthorns continuously with a spatula.

Wei Shuang and Lin Zhi, who were standing by, saw that the icing sugar in the pot, which was clearly transparent just now, slowly turned white!

As Lin Yutang continued to stir-fry the hawthorns, the white frosting evenly wrapped all the hawthorns, making them look like little snowballs.

After making it, Lin Yutang poured the snowball hawthorns in the pot into two large trays. The round, white and rosy little snowballs rolled into the trays one after another, which looked very beautiful!

"Sister Xiaotang has made delicious food again!"

The little kids who had just delivered the takeaway rushed into the kitchen and happened to see the snowball hawthorns coming out of the pot. They all exclaimed in amazement.

"Wow! Sister Xiaotang, is this Little Snowball?"

The little kids were so curious, thinking, "Is this Snowball?" How cute!

"This is a snowball hawthorn. The hawthorns wrapped inside are the ones used to make candied haws."

Lin Yutang explained as she took the lead in picking up a snowball hawthorn and tasting it.

Sour and sweet, soft and sticky, a bite of hawthorn and a bite of sugar-roasted chestnuts, it really tastes like autumn!

The little ones ate the delicious snowball hawthorns and fed one to their brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts who were busy outside. The whole hall was filled with laughter.

"Ergou, you can't eat this little pudding! Little pudding can't eat anything other than dog food."

Lin Yutang saw Ergou holding a candied haws and walking towards the backyard. Huh? Who's in the backyard?

No one was there except Little Pudding.

Hurry up and call Ergou, if it’s any later, don’t send Little Pudding away!

Taking advantage of the early morning, Lin Yutang quickly made a pot of snowball hawthorn. When it was almost done, she sent a voice message to Xuan Qi:

"Big sister, big sister, I made some delicious food here. If any of you are free, come and get some. Remember to ride your tricycle."

Before Lin Yutang put down her phone after sending the message, it rang.

Wow, reply immediately!

I clicked on it and listened.

Xuan Qi's joyful and loud voice rang out:

"almost there!"
