Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 397 Fruit Candy 2

After that, he poured himself a cup. He took a sip and didn't feel much. He took another sip and tasted it carefully and said, "Hmm, it tastes better than boiled water."

After hearing this, Xu Han completely gave up and lost her interest. She was even a little worried about how the candy would taste.

But it felt pretty good when I tasted it just now, so it shouldn’t be too bad.

Forget it, forget it. Let’s not do the rest for now. Wait until the afternoon when the candies can be removed from the film and taste them before making a decision to avoid wasting anything.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan asked cautiously, "Are you still going to make the mold?"

"Go ahead, keep doing it, I'm sure I can do it well."

Xu Han seemed to be comforting herself, and then she went to see the child. Lu Chuan was stunned and didn't know whether to continue or not.

However, Lu Chuan finally decided to continue making the mold, thinking that whatever his wife made was delicious, so she should be able to make candy as well.

At worst, you can just eat more of what you make. It contains both sugar and fruit, which are good things. It must be delicious when these good things are put together.

Xu Han, who was unaware of the situation, had no idea that Lu Chuan felt that his candy-making had failed, and was even still thinking about how to comfort himself.

After lunch, the candies placed in a cool place had completely solidified. This time Xu Han did not call anyone else to taste them, as it would be embarrassing if they messed up.

Instead, she chose to take a candy and put it in her mouth. The moment the candy entered her mouth, Xu Han's eyes lit up. It tasted good, really good.

This tastes even better than when I first tasted it. It’s sour and sweet, and it breaks into pieces when I bite it.

However, maybe there was too much sugar, so the taste was a bit sweet. When you make it again later, you can add or reduce some rock sugar according to the sweetness of the juice. This way the taste will be better.

When it comes to eating candies, Xu Han still prefers sour ones. After all, she is not a big fan of sweets, and the tastes of other people in the family are similar. Except for Ze'er who likes sweet food, no one else likes it very much.

Seeing that her candies were successfully made, Xu Han removed the molds from all the candies, put them in a small dish and carried them to the main room.

"Hahaha, come and try the candy I just made."

Lu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the smile on Xu Han’s face. It looked like he had succeeded.

God knows that when Xu Han went out to get the candy, Lu Chuan had already started thinking about how to comfort his wife. The longer Xu Han was gone, the longer Lu Chuan was troubled.

Xu Han caught a glimpse of Lu Chuan's expression but didn't say anything, just pretending not to see it.

I thought to myself, "You little brat, you don't believe you can succeed. I'll give him all the sugar water I made later."

The Taoist priest and his companions took a candy and tasted it. "It's delicious. It tastes sour and sweet. It's much better than the candy sold in the shop."

Xu Han said proudly, "Of course, I spent a long time researching to make this. It must be much more delicious than the candies sold in the store."

When it was Lu Chuan's turn to take the candy, Xu Han deliberately paused her hand holding the plate. Lu Chuan glanced at Xu Han and instantly understood, and quickly smiled and said in a flattering manner, "My wife's cooking is the most delicious. How can anyone else's cooking compare to my wife's?"

Xu Han laughed when she heard that, and the thought of teasing Lu Chuan just now disappeared.

While licking the candy, Mu'er said to Xu Han, "Mom, this candy is so delicious. It's better than the candies I've eaten before."

"It tastes good, right? Mom will make some other fruit-flavored candies later. Then you can have whatever flavor you want."

Mu'er smiled even happier when she heard this. "Okay."

There is no child who doesn't like eating candy, and Mu'er and Ze'er are no exception. You can tell how much Ze'er likes it by looking at the way he eats without even raising his head.

Since Ze'er got the candy, he stopped crying and just sat there obediently, chewing the candy in his hand.

All of a sudden, a scene that was particularly inconsistent with the ancient scene appeared in the room. Everyone in the room held a small wooden stick in their mouth and sucked on it from time to time.

Seeing that everyone liked the candies very much, even the Taoist priest who never ate candy ate two, Xu Han instantly gained some confidence in making candies.

But he also reminded everyone, "One person can only eat one a day, or two at most. And you must rinse your mouth after eating the candy, otherwise your teeth will be eaten by worms and you will have toothache every day."

The Taoist priest waved his hand and said, "I know, I know. You have said this many times, girl. We know it."

"Don't take my words lightly. When your teeth are broken, you won't be able to eat anything else. I wonder what you'll do. The most important thing is that you have toothaches every day. There's a saying that goes, toothache is not a disease, but it's really painful when it happens."

Grandpa Zhao also interrupted, "Xiao Han didn't scare you. I can testify to that."

"Alright, alright, I'm scared of you. I'll go rinse my mouth in a minute."

Xu Han was satisfied after hearing this, and then continued to go to the kitchen to make candy. There were still many flavors to be made, and they all had to be finished this afternoon.

By the way, milk-flavored candy is also good. I’ll see if I can try making some later.

There are all kinds of other candies, see if you can make them.

It is easier to shape in winter when the weather is cold. It may not be possible to make it in other seasons without a refrigerator.

Moreover, the candies you make cannot be left outside. It is safer to store them in the space. It would be a pity if you forget about them one day and they all melt.

Xu Han was thinking and doing things at the same time, and before she knew it, the sky outside had gradually darkened.

Just when Xu Han was still wondering why it was so early before dark today, she heard Grandpa Zhao shouting to pack up quickly because it was going to snow.

Hmm? It's going to snow? Upon hearing this, Xu Han hurried out of the kitchen. She looked up and saw that the sky was gray. Wasn't it going to snow?

When the Taoist priest saw Xu Han coming out, he quickly shouted, "You continue to do your own thing. We will finish cleaning up the things outside in a while."

"Okay, remember to hang the newly woven straw curtains back on the outer wall of the cowshed. It will at least protect the cows and donkeys from the wind."

"Got it, get busy!"

The cowshed and the donkey shed are connected together, both with bamboo walls. The gaps are a bit large. If they are not covered with a layer of straw curtains, they will either freeze to death or get sick in the ice and snow.

Xu Han didn't care after hearing that and went back to the kitchen to make candy.

After a while, snowflakes began to float in the sky, and then they became bigger and bigger, and more and more.

In an instant, the ground was covered with a layer of white carpet.
