1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"It's done. The sugar is almost done now. Comrades, do you want to play with it?"

Looking at the sugar in the pot, Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile.

"Hehe, Master, don't try to trick me." Lu Dan said with her arms around her shoulders.

It's no wonder she's so careful. It's because she suffered too much from her cheap master.

"If you don't want to play, forget it. I'll let my daughter play with it later." Chen Tiezhu said with a little pride.

After that, he started to put sugar into the basin.

Don't think that there was half a pot at the beginning, but now there is only half a basin left.

After putting the sugar in and adding water to the pot, he took a pair of chopsticks and stirred it in the basin casually for a few times, stirring out a ball of syrup.

The chopsticks separated, stirred quickly with their heads touching each other, and then tore the syrup apart.

"Dad, how did you do it?" Doudou asked with shining eyes.

This also brought out the inner thoughts of Qi Cuiwen and Lu Dan, who were both watching with shining eyes, and it was fun.

"Hehe, just turn it around and pull it, isn't it fun?"

After wrapping the syrup into a ball again, Chen Tiezhu handed it to his daughter.

Doudou was so beautiful, although the technique was a little clumsy, but the syrup didn't fall off, which was a success.

"Do you regret it? Are you careless? You didn't seize the opportunity you were given." Chen Tiezhu looked at Lu Dan again and said proudly.

"Master's wife, Master is like this, you have to take care of it." Lu Dan turned around and started to complain.

"You are also a stupid girl, you can't play with chopsticks by yourself?" Han Xiuying said unhappily.

"Eh? Hehehe, why didn't I think of it."

Lu Dan laughed and ran to the bowl rack to get two pairs of chopsticks.

Play together, and also give Qi Cuiwen a pair.

Although Doudou is a little kid, he is talented in playing with sugar syrup.

The two chopsticks look a little long, but it doesn't matter. In Doudou's little hand, they are like a musician's baton, waving vigorously.

"Doudou, slow down, let me take a good look, why is my chopstick falling down?" Lu Dan asked in confusion.

"It's because you are stupid." Chen Tiezhu complained.

"You just focus on pulling the thread, you have to wrap it. Won't it be tighter and thicker after wrapping? You are so stupid that you are worse than my eldest daughter."

"Wait, wait until I understand it." Lu Dan said unconvinced.

I am definitely not convinced, but I will listen to advice. I found a little trick. You can't just pull the sugar syrup, you have to wrap it.

Don't say it, it's very interesting to wrap it like this, which instantly increases the fun to a higher level.

"Uncle, how did you know how to play like this?" Qi Cuiwen asked happily.

"Actually, this way of playing is similar to the art of pulling candy." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Pulling candy also requires this kind of stretching and winding, and then the candy can be more delicious. In the past, it was sold in large pieces or large sticks, and it took a chisel to chisel it down."

"Later, the situation was a bit special, and who dared to go door to door to do small business. Although life has been better in the past two years, no one has paid attention to it."

"Take this stove candy, for example, it is also sold at the market during the New Year. Maybe in two or three years, there will be small businessmen who take their children to play with syrup."

"Can you make money from it? Just for such a little syrup, you have to prepare for so long?" Lu Dan asked in some confusion.

"If you do business, you don't need to be so troublesome." Zhou Fengxia said with a smile.

"You only need sugar and a small pot that can heat it up, and it will cook quickly. It's edible and fun, and if the kids have some pocket money, they will definitely make it."

"It has to be said that businessmen have business minds. If you want to play, don't stare at it. You won't have time to play when you're pulling candy." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Hey, I'll do it too." Zhou Fengxia said happily.

I really wanted to play, but I was just a little embarrassed just now.

"Master's wife, what do you think of Master's brain? He can come up with a money-making idea every time. How much money do you think I can make if I stand at the school gate and sell syrup?" Lu Dan asked curiously.

"I don't know how much money he can make, but he has a lot of ideas anyway. Don't even mention the kids, even you guys are having fun now." Han Xiuying said with a smile.

"Yingzi, do you want to play with a group and relieve stress?" Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, it's just work, even if there is pressure, you have to overcome it.. "Han Xiuying said.

"Are you still worried about the mushroom planting?" asked the second master.

"A little bit, I just feel that after working, there will always be some small troubles." Han Xiuying said with a smile.

"That's because my Yingzi has grown up. If everyone is as heartless as a certain comrade, then there will be no worries." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"I'm not heartless." Lu Dan said unhappily.

"Then you have to answer him." Han Xiuying said with a smile.

"Master's wife, he is secretly talking about me." Lu Dan said depressedly, still feeling a little unsatisfied, and took a big bite of the syrup.

"Don't take it lightly. Only when people grow up, they know what responsibilities they bear." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"I have grown up, and my responsibility is to let my eldest daughter eat meat happily every meal, and eat whatever she wants. Yingzi has grown up, and what she thinks in her heart is not just to eliminate harm for the people, but to let the people live a good life. "

"Well..., I have to say that my Yingzi's first-stage work goal has been achieved. This is not to recruit me, but also to eliminate harm for the people."

"What are you talking about? I have to take you with me." Han Xiuying said with a smile.

"That's a must, we are a family." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"Okay, comrades, quickly deal with the syrup on your hands. Next, we will seriously pull the sugar, and we still need your help. "

"Oh? Such a simple job, why does the master have to ask for help?" Lu Dan asked with a smile.

"Simple? You will know whether it is simple or not when you really pull it later." Chen Tiezhu glanced at her.

"Eh? I'm not convinced. At most, it's a little bigger than the syrup, what's the big deal, let me do it. "

Just this one look rekindled Lu Dan's ambition.

Han Xiuying looked even more helpless. This girl would dig a hole for herself if she had the conditions. What if she didn't have the conditions? She would still dig a hole for herself even if she created the conditions.
