Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 383 Kitchen Sugar
After the weather cleared, the snow in the Qin Mansion had been cleared away.

When Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, Li Ji and others came to the Qin Mansion, they didn't see any excitement. What they saw was that Qin Tian was sitting in a large cauldron in a large courtyard of the Qin Mansion. Cooking something that looks very viscous.

Before you walk in, you can smell a sweet fragrance.

And around the cauldron, apart from a few servants who kept putting firewood in it, there were also two girls, Xiaodie and Xiaoqing, who kept asking if they were ready, and when they asked, their saliva was all over. It's about to flow out.

Cheng Yaojin and the others were stunned when they saw this.

"Old Cheng, what do you mean by fun?"

Cheng Yaojin curled his lips: "How do I know?"

Several people were a little disappointed, but not particularly disappointed, because they all knew that they didn't come here to watch the excitement.

But when they failed to save Wei Zheng, they suddenly thought that maybe Qin Tian had a way.

Otherwise, who would care if Tang Rong and the Ninth Princess were making such a fuss?
However, before Li Ji and the others could speak, Cheng Yaojin rushed over.

"Children of the Qin family, looking at your posture, are you going to drum up something good again?"

When Cheng Yaojin came running suddenly, Qin Tian was taken aback. The main reason was that Qin Tian focused on boiling the sugar and didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the step of boiling sugar should not be distracted.

"Oh, Duke Lu..." As soon as he said this, Qin Tian saw Qin Shubao, Li Ji and others coming over from behind. He was a little surprised, what day is it today, why are all these people here?

"You boy, don't talk about other things, just talk about what you are doing." Cheng Yaojin was curious, and Qin Tian smiled: "In a few days, it will be a sacrifice to the stove. I am making stove candy."

"Stove candy?" Cheng Yaojin was taken aback, he knew about the festival of stove sacrifice, but every year they sacrificed to stove, they also used some briar sprigs to worship, but they had never heard of stove candy.

Cheng Yaojin was very puzzled, but before Qin Tian opened his mouth, Xiaodie beside him rolled his eyes, looked at Cheng Yaojin with the eyes of an ignorant person, and said, "Why don't you even know this, The kitchen god will go to heaven to report to the Jade Emperor every year when offering sacrifices to the kitchen. We sweeten his mouth with kitchen candy, so that after he goes to heaven, he will say good things to us, and our life will be easier. My elder brother said that we The reason why the family is so easy is because of offering stove candy to the Kitchen God..."

Xiaodie was muttering, and what she said was very clear, Qin Tian was listening with embarrassment on his face, the story he told was just a matter of listening to it, why did this girl Xiaodie take it seriously?

But what made Qin Tian even more speechless was that when Xiaodie said that, Cheng Yaojin actually listened with gusto, as if he really believed what Xiaodie said.

Sure enough, after Xiaodie finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin suddenly grabbed Qin Tian's hand.

"Oh my god, this thing... ahem, when will it be made?"

Cheng Yaojin actually believed it, and at this time, Qin Shubao, Li Ji and others all looked at Qin Tian expectantly, Qin Tian was very helpless, and said: "After the sugar is boiled, It will be all right soon."

Cheng Yaojin nodded: "Then hurry up, we'll be waiting for you."

Qin Tian shrugged his shoulders, and then continued to get busy. Cheng Yaojin and the others originally had something to ask, but at this moment they all endured it.

The cold wind was blowing, but the sweetness in the pot was getting stronger and stronger. After the sugar was boiled, Qin Tian got busy there. He had been busy for more than half an hour before he finally made a table. stove sugar.

When these stove candies are not solidified, roll them on the sesame seeds, so that the whole stove candies are covered with sesame seeds, which looks mouth-watering.

After doing this, Xiaodie immediately stretched out her hand.

"Brother, give me a taste, give me a taste..."

Xiaodie stayed around because she wanted to eat stove candy, otherwise she wouldn't be exposed to the cold wind because of her temperament. Qin Tian smiled and gave her a handful.

"Don't eat too much, your teeth will be damaged if you eat too much. Also, send it to your sister-in-law and eldest sister, let them have a taste."

Xiaodie responded with a full mouth, and after handing Xiaoqing one, she quickly ran away and disappeared.

At this time, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin and others came over again, but they would not reach out for it like Xiaodie.

Instead, he pushed Qin Tian away, then walked over to pick up the stove candy on the table and ate it.

The freshly made stove candy is still slightly warm, and it tastes crunchy, and the sweetness becomes more intense after boiling, which makes people like Cheng Yaojin very enjoyable to eat.

"It's delicious, it's so delicious, it's too sweet, I didn't expect this candy to be so sweet, what kind of candy is this?" Cheng Yaojin took five candies in one hand, and ate them with a crunch. The beard is covered with sesame seeds.

Qin Tian smiled wryly: "Duke Lu, eat less, as eating too much of this food will damage your teeth."

"You don't care, tell me what kind of candy it is."

"Just the caramel we usually eat."

Hearing that it was caramel, Cheng Yaojin and others couldn't believe it. Caramel is a kind of sugar made by saccharifying and boiling rice and malt. It has a sticky shape. It already existed in the Western Zhou Dynasty. In the Zhou Yuan Dynasty, Jintu was like sugar, and maltose was already very popular in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

"Qi Min Yao Shu" written by Jia Sixie in the Northern Wei Dynasty even has the methods and steps of making caramel, as well as the main points.

But the caramel that Cheng Yaojin and the others usually eat is not so sweet at all, and they even think that even the sucrose they usually eat is not so sweet.

"This caramel has been condensed again after my brewing, so it is so sweet, please eat less..." Qin Tian said, Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes: "You don't care about me..."

Qin Tian was completely speechless. He was afraid that it would be fake if they ate bad teeth, and worried that it would be real after they finished eating. The cost of this food is not low, and the production steps are very troublesome. I gave it to Huo Huo personally.

Fortunately, when Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao and others started eating, they were still very interested, but after eating a few sticks, the feeling of fullness was already very serious, and they didn't feel hungry at all. Naturally, I couldn't eat it anymore.

In fact, things with good sugar content can provide calories and glucose needed by the human body, and eating a little can make people not hungry.

Qin Shubao put down the stove candy in his hand, he couldn't eat any more, but Cheng Yaojin suddenly found a piece of cloth to wrap it up.

"The boys in my family like to eat sweets the most..."

Hearing this, Qin Tian suddenly had a very ominous premonition, and immediately after, this premonition became a reality.

Qin Shubao, who had already put down the stove candy, immediately found a piece of cloth to wrap it up.

"My kid also likes to eat sweets..."

"Ahem, actually my family also likes to eat..."

A table of stove candy is gone in an instant.
