Chapter 98

Luo Tian rushed to him and asked repeatedly: "How is it going? Is it done?"

Uncle Gu wiped off his cold sweat, not wanting to admit that he was also taken aback by the noise just now.

Luo Tiandu opened the burlap bag and picked up a piece of popcorn, it was a bit mushy, but it still tasted delicious.It seems that the time for the next pot will be shorter.

Popcorn tastes better when it’s hot, but it’s hard when it’s cold, which she doesn’t like very much.She poured the popcorn in the bag into the sieve and asked Luo Mingdu to bring it to the house to eat, while she and Gu Bo were busy frying the second pot.

The heat in the second pot was not enough, and some corn grains hadn't exploded yet, and it was really just right in the third pot.

Uncle Gu fried three pots, and said: "This is enough, these things can't be kept for a long time, and you can fry them when you want to eat them."

Luo Tiandu had already measured out half a pot of glutinous rice, and said, "Uncle Gu, fry this to make candy."

Uncle Gu thought it would be a waste of food at first, so he refused to agree, but after being pestered by her to say a few nice words, his heart softened, and he set up the pot again.After frying three pots of glutinous rice popcorn, Luo Tiandu let Gu Bo call it a day.

Uncle Gu worked for a long time in the cold wind, not only did he not feel cold, but he was sweating all over.

The popcorn made from corn is reserved for Luo Mingdu to eat as snacks, and the fried glutinous rice is used to make sugar.

Mier candy is a special food in her hometown. When she was young, every Chinese New Year, her grandmother would boil a pot of Mier candy for her as a snack. The method of making it is not complicated.She was greedy when she was a child, and whenever her grandma boiled candy, no matter how late it was, she would stay in the kitchen to help light the fire. It was a beautiful name, but in fact, it was to taste the first piece of rice candy out of the pot.

Thinking of the grandma who used to always smile and show her broken and yellow teeth, and hold her on her lap and call her "good grandson, good grandson", Luo Tian felt a little sad.Fortunately, her grandma passed away when she was 16 years old. Otherwise, she would have passed away. Grandma would have thought she was dead, and she would not know how sad she was.

Luo Ming saw that the little girl looked a little bad, squatted in front of her, touched her forehead, and asked her: "Are you tired?"

Luo Tiandu looked at Luo Mingdu's worried expression, and his mood was healed instantly. He patted her head and said, "It's okay, sister, just wait, I'll boil candy for you."

The production method of rice candy is actually very simple. Put sugar in the pot, add some water, boil it into syrup, and then pour the fried glutinous rice popcorn into it. After the syrup and popcorn are fully mixed, put the rice candy Flatten the slices and that's it.

The rice candy made in this way is fragrant and sweet. As long as it is stored properly, it can be stored for a long time. Both adults and children like to eat it.In fact, there is no need for popcorn. You can also make rice candy by frying glutinous rice in a pot. It’s just that the rice candy doesn’t taste as good as popcorn because the glutinous rice expands and doesn’t fill up.

Because the family collected some sesame seeds and peanuts, and Changhui Niang sent a lot of dried fruit, Luo Tiandu made more tricks... Crush the peanuts, fry them in a hot pan, and fry them again. I bought two bowls of sesame seeds, and when cooking rice sugar, I added crushed peanuts and sesame seeds. After the sugar was boiled out of the pan, put it in a sieve, flatten it with a clean board, and cut it into palm-sized pieces while it was hot. piece.

After the rice candy was boiled out, Luo Ming really liked it very much.

Luo Tiandu pity this child is very sensible, it is rare to eat candy once in normal times, this time she can eat enough, but after she finished eating candy, remember to remind her to brush her teeth twice more, otherwise her little mouthful will be spoiled. White Fang, she couldn't make her a dentist.

Although Luo Mingdu liked to eat it very much, he only ate two pieces, so he restrained himself from eating it.

Luo Tian knew this child's temperament, and Luo Ming would always save any delicious food for her, if she didn't eat it, he would save it and eat it later.

"Sister, these are all made for you, you can eat more if you like." Her family bought a lot of food this year, and boiled a few catties of rice candy is no problem.

Luo Mingdu glanced at the hot candies just out of the pot, then shook his head firmly, and said, "Two yuan is enough for me, and I sell any more."

Luo Tiandu laughed, and said: "Sister, you can eat as much as you like, our family has no shortage of glutinous rice, and we can make as much of this food as we want." While talking, he felt very relieved that his children are so well-behaved And sensible.

"Yeah. Then I'll take two more yuan." Luo Mingdu said and sure enough took two more yuan, and then firmly refused to take any more.

Luo Tiandu didn't try to persuade him any more, he kept a small half for his own food, and sold the rest at the grocery store.

It's the end of winter now, and every family wants to buy some candy to satisfy the cravings of the elderly and children at home, which is very popular.

Uncle Gu was very curious about this new gadget. He had to fry two pots of popcorn every day for nothing. Fang’s family didn’t have that much food for him to toss about, so he went to help his neighbors fry popcorn. Many people came with wooden basins, and the business was very busy.

Uncle Gu was extremely busy, only Yao Shi was still recovering from his injuries. Every day he heard the sound of "bang" "bang" "bang" outside, and was extremely irritable. I don't do serious things at home at night, and the quarrel gives me a headache." After scolding, he raised his voice to call Luo Baining, "Ningning... Ningning... Where did you die, girl?"

The weather has turned fine these two days. Mrs. Fang had agreed with Mrs. Yao in advance that she would go to the town to buy new year's goods with Mrs. Changhui. Old man Luo was not there. Even though Uncle Gu was old, he was a man after all. He was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Yao and old man Luo about Mrs. Su's matter, so naturally it was impossible to take care of Mrs. Yao, both Luo Mingdu and Luo Tian were still young, only Luo Baining could get along and pour tea and serve Mrs. Yao.

It's just that Luo Baining has always been pampered and raised, and she doesn't touch the sun with her ten fingers, and because of money, she has a estrangement from Yao Shi, not to mention that she is not willing to take care of Yao Shi at all, even if she wants to take care of her, she doesn't know where to come from. proceed.Fang Shi went out for half a day, Luo Baining just brought two bowls of hot rice to Yao Shi from Luo Tiandu's side, and didn't care about anything else.

When Yao Shi called her, she was holding a bowl of popcorn and eating popcorn. Hearing Yao Shi calling her, she stood up reluctantly, turned her head and said to Luo Tiandu while walking, "Keep it for me."

Luo Tiandu waved his hand: "You have to eat. Grandma is calling you, so go quickly."

well!In such a big girl's family, she has nothing else in her eyes except eating and playing all day long. The one lying on the kang and unable to move is her own mother, and she doesn't know how to serve tea and water to take care of her.Yao Shi also committed crimes in the previous life, giving birth to such an ignorant girl, she was really as good as a piece of barbecued pork back then.

Yao shi didn't know what she said to Luo Baining in the room, after a while, Luo Baining came out, puffed up her cheeks and said to Luo Tiandu: "Mother told you to go outside and blow up, because the quarrel at home gave her a headache."

Luo Tiandu looked at the sky, and said to Gu Bo: "Gu Bo, why don't we not blow up today?" Dozens of pots have been blown up, and the salary alone is more than 100 yuan, so we can call it a day.

Uncle Gu nodded, and said to the children around him, "Work is over for today, come early tomorrow if you want to blow up."

He was a little tired after shaking the pot all day.

Just as he was talking, Mrs. Fang came back pushing the cart, old man Luo followed behind with a look of anger, and grabbed someone by his hand.

Luo Tian even opened his eyes to see that the one who was following old man Luo with his head drooping and dejected was not Luo Baihan.

Old man Luo thought he had already lost his temper once on the way, and the bright red slap marks on Luo Baihan's face hadn't faded away.

Luo Tiandu secretly pulled the corner of La Fang's clothes, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, what's the matter?"

Old man Luo is no better than Yao Shi, he is a boring gourd, and he can't fart for a long time. To make him so angry, it is probably because Luo Baihan did something extremely annoying.

Fang Shi winked at her hurriedly, and said: "Get out of the way, I will push the car in, and be careful not to splash muddy water all over you."

Luo Tian stepped aside obediently, and when he wanted to say something else, he heard the old man Luo roaring in anger, "You little beast, see if I don't kill you today, so that you won't be embarrassed outside. !"

When Luo Baihan entered the door unexpectedly, he was slapped on the body by old man Luo. The pain made him almost jump up, and he ran out with his head in his arms. ah?"

The old man Luo chased him into the yard, seeing that Luo Baihan was about to run out, he said to Fang: "Boss, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and fasten the gate of the yard, see if I don't beat this little beast to death today Sacrifice!"

Fang locked the door silently.

Seeing that he was helpless, Luo Baihan had no choice but to run around the yard, was hit by old man Luo with a few shoulder poles, and shouted at the top of his voice.

Yao shi didn't know what was going on outside, but heard Luo Baihan being beaten up by the old man Luo, and couldn't help shouting: "Old man, you listened to someone instigate something outside, and beat Baihan as soon as you came back." , beat him to pieces, who else can you count on to support you in the future."

As if old man Luo didn't hear it, he raised his pole and hit Luo Baihan a few more times.

Yao was in a hurry, Luo Baihan was her lifeblood, if old man Luo broke it for no reason, it would be the same as killing her, so she also shouted at the top of her voice: "You stupid thing, you Daddy wants to beat you, you won't run away? Then just stand in the yard and be beaten!"

Luo Baihan has always been pampered, he has never suffered hardships, and he was a little annoyed by the old man Luo's shoulders several times, and said: "Father, I have a reputation, even if I meet the magistrate, I don't have to kneel down, you beat me like this, It is the one who committed the crime below and wants to see the official."

When old man Luo heard this, he got angry from the heart and cursed: "You bastard! I'm your old man. If you did something so indecent, I'll beat you to death. Let's see who dares to gossip .”

Fang saw that Luo Baihan had been beaten several times. Although the old man Luo was getting old, he had planted crops all his life, and he still had a lot of strength. Then he persuaded him: "Father, the second brother is a young man, his ears are soft for a while, and he was picked up to do something, you just teach him, if you really beat him to something good or bad, after that, Dad Looking back, don't you regret it?"
