Chapter 169
"I know, I know, I'll let you eat and go back! Do you think you are all foodies in the Li family? Your aunt was deceived by me for a few meals, so is your father. Now even you... My wife is hurting, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it's gentle, it's almost gone, and there are children here, so I'll leave some face and some face." Wang Xuan originally wanted to pretend to be Thirteen, but it was obviously a car accident this time. Before he finished speaking, Li Xin grabbed his ear from behind, and Wang Xuan kept begging for mercy.
This made everyone present laugh, especially Li Chengqian, who was just being scolded, laughed loudly.
However, Li Chengqian laughed at this, but Wang Xuan's intimidation to him was still there. Wang Xuan just stared at him and scared Li Chengqian so much that he covered his mouth and didn't dare to laugh. Like Li Chengqian, there was also the boy Cheng Chumo.
Although these two little guys were temporarily suppressed, those who should beg for mercy still demanded mercy.
In the end, it was because Ruyi and the others took Wang Xuan and needed something back, which made Li Xin let Wang Xuan go.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you go to work quickly? You two go to the greenhouse behind and pick some ripe fruits. As for you to come here to skewers of hawthorns for me." Wang Xuan was also proud. After being liberated in this dynasty, he immediately put on the airs of the master and directed everyone to start working.
In response to this, Li Xin looked at Zheng Guanyin and the others behind him, and said nothing, but did as Wang Xuan asked.
Of course, Wang Xuan himself was not idle, and he was also busy with Li Xin and the others, skewers hawthorns. After almost ten strings of strings, Wang Xuan asked them to stay away from the stove.
Although Li Xin and the others didn't know what Wang Xuan was going to do, they were still obedient.
After Li Xin and the others brought the washed hawthorn, bamboo sticks and plates to the side, Wang Xuan put the iron pot on the stove, poured some cold oil onto the stove first, washed the pot, and then waited for the hot pot to heat up, put a little cold oil everywhere, and added a lot of white sugar to start to turn into the sugar and boil the syrup.
When boiling syrup, in order to prevent the syrup from being overwhelmed by the syrup, Wang Xuan lifted the iron pot from time to time to control the temperature.
During this period, Wang Xuan and Li Xin and the others were explaining the purpose of doing this, and at the same time, they also told them why he wanted to boil syrup.
Just based on the story of the hawthorn in his hands, Li Xin and the others really couldn't imagine that the candied haws that their man said would be delicious?
On the contrary, Cheng Zimo believed Wang Xuan's words. After all, in the eyes of the little girl, his uncle was an omnipotent existence.
"Okay, the syrup is ready. Lianzhi brings the skewers of hawthorn skewers and brings a few plates over." After boiling the sugar for a while, Wang Xuan saw that the syrup was almost done, so he shouted at Lianzhi.
After Lianzhi brought the things, Wang Xuan placed the iron pot on the stone table in the yard, picked up a string of hawthorns, wrapped the skewers in the syrup, and then wrapped the whole skewers in the syrup, Wang Xuan quickly took it out and placed it on a plate aside.
With the success of the first string, a row of candied haws wrapped in syrup were slowly released on the stone table.
It’s just that the candied haws that have just been out of the pot, and the sugar coating outside is still very hot and needs to be cooled before eating.
"Ruyi, go and ask someone to use thatch to till a grass hammer on the long stick. Remember to till a few more. Xin'er, don't be idle either. Hurry up and skewers hawthorns and lotus timber. This hawthorn is obviously not enough. If you take someone to pick some, we should make more so that Gao Ming can take it back to the palace later. Otherwise, the little girl Lizhi is coming next time and will make trouble for me again." After all the hawthorn skewers in front of him, Wang Xuan ordered Li Xin and the others.
Wang Xuan started to boil sugar again, but this time some syrup remained in the pot. He did not refuel, but poured the sugar directly into it. However, Wang Xuan did not pour a lot at once, but poured it in batches, otherwise it would be easy to get stuck.
"Uncle, they are back. Do you see enough of these fruits?" Just as Wang Xuan was cooking syrup, Li Chengqian came over quickly and shouted at Wang Xuan.
This scared Wang Xuan. After all, the syrup in the pot cannot be encountered with water, otherwise the high-temperature syrup will be fried in water and splashed on people. It will definitely be a little syrup and a little blister.
"Boy, be careful. The syrup in this pot is not a joke. It will fry when it comes to water. When the fruit comes, hurry up and wash it off." Wang Xuan rushed to Li Chengqian with a stern face.
"Oh, I understand." When Li Chengqian heard Wang Xuan's scolding, he looked excited just now, and immediately said to Wang Xuan, and went to wash fruits with Cheng Chumo.
Wang Xuan saw all this, so he didn't say anything, but he also knew that doing so hurt Li Chengqian's heart a little.
After all, children are like this. Many times, what they do, especially what their parents and elders arrange, after doing it, they all want to get a smile or a compliment from their parents and elders.
If they get it, they will be happy all day or even for a long time, but they will get perfunctory answers or reprimanding like Wang Xuan. It may be nothing once or twice, and they will be sad for a while, but if they keep doing this, it may make the child feel self-doubted and even rebellious.
Although many times, parents and elders are subconscious, or excessive behaviors such as Wang Xuan did before because he was worried that his children would be hurt.
But when children understand this, they just think that their parents and elders don’t like them anymore, and parents and elders don’t explain to their children afterwards because of the majesty of their elders’ parents, which will lead to misunderstandings.
It would be fine if the child could have a reasonable teacher to teach him afterwards. If not, then for a long time, the relatives will become enemies.
"Mr., were you too mean to Gao Ming just now? He doesn't understand the harm of syrup? He will definitely feel uncomfortable if you scold him like this. Why don't I go and talk to Gao Ming?" Looking at Li Chengqian's back as he left, Li Xin came to Wang Xuan and said to him softly.
"I've passed this a little just now, but I'll finish it in a while. Let me tell him myself! And later, I'm doing an experiment for you, and you will know how terrible this syrup is when it comes to water. Let that little guy calm down first! Maybe he can figure it out by himself!" Wang Xuan looked at Li Xin, who looked worried, smiled and patted her hand, and said to her.
