1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Master, just tell me what to do. I must pull this candy for you clearly today."

Carrying the basin outside, Lu Dan said proudly.

"It's very simple. Hang the syrup on the tree stick tied to the pillar." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"To pull the candy, you just have to pull it. After pulling, turn the two strands into one, put it on the wooden stick, and continue pulling. There is another wooden stick here, so that you don't have trouble grabbing the candy later."

"That's it? It's very simple, watch me." Lu Dan said excitedly.

Don't mention it, even though Chen Tiezhu always said that she was not physically fit, it was no problem to take a large ball of syrup out of the basin, although it felt a little strenuous.

"Master, this is not difficult."

With a little effort, the syrup was pulled down by her.

"Oh? I really underestimated you, didn't I? But you can't pull it alone, otherwise there will be no head, and the candy won't turn white." Chen Tiezhu said as if he was surprised.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I just pulled the first one." Lu Dan was a little proud.

He put the pulled syrup on top, and this time he hooked it from the middle with his hand, and the syrup became two strands.

He glanced at Chen Tiezhu, and happily mixed the two strands together, and then put them together and pulled them.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable. This is really incredible." Chen Tiezhu praised again.

Seeing Lu Dan pulling the syrup even harder after being praised by Chen Tiezhu, everyone shook their heads helplessly.

Although they had never pulled syrup before, they knew that Lu Dan had lost himself in Chen Tiezhu's praise. This job would definitely not be so easy to do.

And what about Lu Dan at this time?

He also found something wrong.

Although there are not many strands of syrup now, some strands are still fused together under pulling. But why is it much more laborious than just now?

Is it because I don't have enough strength after pulling for such a while?

Stir them together again and put them together. This time, her feelings were even more obvious.

It seemed that strength alone was not enough, and she had to use the gravity of her body to fall down.

"Oh, my precious disciple is really amazing, he knows the martial arts unique skill of Qianjinzhu." Chen Tiezhu praised exaggeratedly again.

"Master's wife, please control the master, you just make fun of him."

Lu Dan said with a pout.

He also started to strike, this job is impossible to do.

Until now, he didn't know that he had jumped into the pit he dug again. This cheap master is too cunning.

"It's what you deserve. You have to show off. What are you looking at? Go and pull the candy." Han Xiuying said unhappily.

The latter sentence was of course said to Chen Tiezhu who was watching the fun on the side. This guy is too playful.

"Hahaha, Zhou'er, hold on to the pillar. Otherwise, I'm worried that I'll use too much force and pull my shed down again." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"What? Do you have to use that much force?" Lu Dan was a little uneasy.

"Girl, sometimes when people pull candy in other places, several people work together to pull it. How can one person pull it?" Erye said with a smile.

"It's not a big deal at the beginning, but it gets harder and harder. It's just like braiding a rope. The more strands you braid, the stronger it is."

Lu Dan was a little depressed, and looked at Chen Tiezhu with a covetous look.

"Don't look at me like that. I just want to ask you if it was fun to pull candy just now." Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile.

"It was fun."

Lu Dan gritted her teeth and said.

The so-called donkey can fall down, but the frame can't fall down. It's her.

After it was Chen Tiezhu's turn, he didn't need to use both hands at all. He could just pull it with one hand. And the stretching distance is longer than Lu Dan's.

But this is just when he first took over. When the color of the syrup began to lighten and turn white, he had to use both hands.

"Brother Chen, you really have to use your strength. Now I can feel the power on the pillar." Zhou Fengxia reminded him.

"Okay, then I know it's almost done. Girls, do you want to continue playing? Play in the middle to help, so that the candy will not fall on the ground, and you have to pull it longer." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Dad, dad, Doudou is good."

Doudou, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, volunteered.

"It's OK, my eldest daughter is here, there must be no problem." Chen Tiezhu praised.

Doudou was so happy that she smiled and stood in the middle, raising her hands high.

The job of pulling candy is really more and more difficult as you go on. It can even be said that there is no technical content, but it is very powerful.

The three girls, one child and two adults, were also very happy in the middle. After all, it was the first time to play this, and the most important thing was to participate.

"Hey? Dad, Doudou can beat Yoyo."After pulling it out again, Doudou shouted happily.

"Wow, is this candy so tough now?"

Zhou Fengxia said in surprise, looking at Doudou with his feet off the ground.

"That's right, look at the color of the candy again, isn't it white? A few more times, and we'll be done." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Master, can we eat it then?" Lu Dan asked hurriedly.

"I can cut a little for you, but the taste is still a little worse now. It will taste best when it is frozen tomorrow morning." Chen Tiezhu said casually.

"Zhou'er, this time you have to pull it farther, the candy is still a little thick. You have to pull it to the thickness of your thumb, so that it is easy to eat."

"Okay, I'm holding the pillar." Zhou Fengxia nodded seriously.

This job is not a joke, Brother Tiezhu is too strong, and this candy is also a little tough.

Pulling again, as Chen Tiezhu walked away, the role of the girls in the middle also became more prominent.

If they hadn't been dragging in the middle, it would definitely have fallen to the ground.

"It looks like we have to pull it three or four more times. The toughness is not enough now. I'm afraid it will break if I pull it again." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Master, who invented this way of playing?" Lu Dan asked curiously.

"You asked me this, how would I know?" Chen Tiezhu was helpless.

"Ah..., pulling candy is really not easy." Qi Cuiwen sighed.

After Chen Tiezhu took over, how long did it take?

This is because Chen Tiezhu is strong enough, otherwise it is really not a job that one person can do.

But they also feel very accomplished. Such a large ball of syrup has now been pulled into such a long and white candy stick.

"It's done, it's OK now, hold it, I'll get the knife."

After talking for a while, Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard him say that. It was a bit cold outside.

He picked up the kitchen knife and chopped it with a click. A bundle of candy sticks about one meter long was cut out.

Cut some small pieces too, and taste them.

Although it was a little warm and not as crisp as usual, the candy now was very chewy and quite enjoyable to eat.

The rest of the work was simple, just put it outside to freeze.

While it was not too late, I could at least watch another episode of Huo Yuanjia.
