Chapter 168: candied haws

Chapter 168 Candied haws

After that day, Shen Mingjiao took Feng Shuo back to Wujiazhuang.

Feng Shuo doesn't care, he thinks it's the same wherever he is. Deep in my heart, there is still a little unspeakable expectation.

It's just... Within two days, he regretted it.

Ever since he was able to run and jump, he has been keen to find someone to fight, because the strength gap between the two sides is too great, and he often gets himself covered in bruises, but he never gives up.

Deep in his heart, he knew that only in this way could he become stronger step by step.

But ever since she lived with Shen Mingjiao in Cuihua's house, she never had the chance to fight with others.

Just like now, he walked around the place where half-grown children gather in the village with a cold face and no expression.

A seven or eight-year-old girl greeted him curiously, but he didn't look up, as if he didn't hear.

The girl gets angry and feels provoked.

Children's world is either black or white, if they are uncomfortable seeing each other, then fight.

Seeing a group of people on the opposite side put on a stance, Feng Shuo raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, and his body tensed up in an attacking posture.

But at this moment, a clear and soft female voice came from next to my ear: "What are you doing?"

When the children saw an adult coming, they immediately restrained their aura, and the girl in the lead gave Feng Shuo a unwilling look, as if to say, "Boy, you're lucky."

Feng Shuo: "..."

Shen Mingjiao came over, crossed his arms and looked at her with a smile on his chest: "Want to fight again?"

Feng Shuo pursed his lips and remained silent.

Shen Mingjiao: "I promised you, Uncle Su, that you will not be allowed to fight again in the future. You will never make me break my promise!"

Feng Shuomian corrected expressionlessly: "You clearly said that you won't hurt me."

Shen Mingjiao pointed to five or six girls who were a head taller than him, and raised her eyebrows: "Do you think it's possible not to get hurt?"

Although Feng Shuo has a cold personality, he is still a child after all. Hearing this, he immediately wrinkled his nose unconvinced.

But he will not act like a baby or retort to adults like ordinary children, but just stand silently.

Shen Mingjiao sighed secretly: "Fighting is so boring, why don't mother cook something delicious for you."

Feng Shuo didn't bother to correct her self-proclaimed, she wouldn't listen anyway.

Nodding indifferently: "Whatever."

He really doesn't care, in his opinion, the function of food is only to fill the stomach.

Shen Mingjiao sighed again, this child in the previous life was also like this, he had no requirements for food, it seemed that as long as he could eat, he would not pick anything. She thought it was because she had suffered too much before.

She greeted the eagerly-eyed girls: "If you don't mind, come along too!"

The girls cheered and nodded, because Shen Mingjiao taught them how to make delicious pasta, so in the hearts of these girls, Miss Shen is the representative of delicious food.

A bold girl directly took Shen Mingjiao's arm, looked up at her with bright eyes: "Miss Shen, you are so pretty!"

Shen Mingjiao scratched the little girl's nose: "Well, you are beautiful too."

Several people suddenly laughed together, Feng Shuo looked at the girl affectionately holding Shen Mingjiao's arm, feeling a little uncomfortable for some reason.

He pursed his lips, took a few steps behind and turned his face away.

A light white and slender hand stretched out in front of him, and Shen Mingjiao's smiling voice came from above his head: "Take Mother's hand, don't get lost!"

Feng Shuo turned his face away and pretended to hold her finger casually, but the corners of his mouth curled uncontrollably.

Shen Mingjiao secretly laughed, what an awkward child.

Back to Wu’s house, Cuihua and the two sisters are not there,

Shen Mingjiao had long thought about what to eat for them, and she decided to make candied haws.

No way, although she can eat, she hasn't done much. And many things here are in the original state, and it is not realistic to make complicated pastries for eating.

Fortunately, there are abundant products, and some common wild fruits and vegetables can basically be found here on weekdays.

It was also two days ago that she saw a child eating sugar cane, and she had an idea. After asking Cuihua, she learned that there is no sugar on this island.

She asked Cuihua to help pick a lot of sugar cane, and told Uncle Wu how to steam the sugar cane to refine sugar.

Perhaps Uncle Wu is very talented in this area. She only has some half-baked theoretical knowledge, but she actually figured it out in the end.

And there happened to be a hawthorn tree on the nearby hills, and she picked a lot with a few girls on the way back.

Pour the refined syrup into the pot and simmer over low heat.

Shen Mingjiao actually didn't know how long it would take to cook. Seeing that the syrup had solidified and turned black, he hurriedly asked Uncle Wu who was helping to light the fire to stop.

On the other side, several girls had already washed the hawthorns, while Feng Shuo was sitting beside him, quickly peeling bamboo sticks in his hands.

Shen Mingjiao poured the syrup into a large porcelain bowl, dipped the washed hawthorn in the sugar and put it aside to dry slightly.

Then came the final stringing session. Shen Mingjiao made a demonstration first,

"Come on, I want to eat my own skewers,"

After speaking, he looked at several people and said with a smile: "Believe it or not, the food you make by yourself is definitely delicious."

Except for Feng Shuo, they were all restless children who always wanted to try new things.

So they picked up the sticks and strung them together with great interest. Occasionally, they accidentally burned their hands. Although they screamed in pain, they had a happy smile on their faces.

Feng Shuo sat in the corner and watched all this quietly, his small face was indifferent, like an outsider who cut off his emotions and desires.

Suddenly, his eyes moved, and he saw that Shen Mingjiao's hand was scalded by the splashed syrup, and the back of her white hand was immediately red.

Shen Mingjiao suddenly turned her head, and the two of them met their eyes. She pointed to the back of her hand that was burned red and said, "Suo'er, can you do mother a favor?"

After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but stuff the bamboo stick into her hand,

A girl pulled him up unceremoniously: "Let's make it together, Miss Shen said that we can't eat until everyone is done."

Feng Shuo was dragged to string candied haws together with the laughing girls.

His hands moved quickly, hearing the wanton laughter of the girls around him, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, thinking they were so childish!

It wasn't just that the relaxed and carefree smiles on their faces were too dazzling or something. In the end, Feng Shuo was also teased by a **** one side and curled his lips.

Soon, all the candied haws were skewered.

Shen Mingjiao first picked up a bunch and took a bite. The syrup was a bit burnt, barely sweet and sour. She barely ate a few, but she didn't want to eat any more.

However, for children who eat candied haws for the first time, the sweet and sour taste is amazing.

Perhaps it was because he made it himself. Feng Shuo felt for the first time that eating this sweet and sour fruit was not just for filling his stomach.

Following the example, the **** the side was gently sucking the icing on the hawthorn, her beautiful phoenix eyes could not help but bend.

Shen Mingjiao nodded in satisfaction. Although Shuo'er can become very good when he grows up, he has almost no friends. Except for her and Feng Lisheng, he is indifferent to everyone.

Since she was born again, she naturally wanted the child to live a better life.

Just when the atmosphere was quiet and comfortable, there was a sudden and urgent shout from a distance outside the courtyard:

"Her house is just ahead, hurry up, bring her in!"

A familiar female voice said anxiously: "Why is there still blood left on my sister's stomach!"

Immediately someone comforted: "It's okay. Mr. Su said, as long as you dig out that thing and take care of it, it will be fine."

Shen Mingjiao hurriedly opened the door and went out, only to see someone walking towards this side carrying a wooden plank in the distance.

When she got closer, she saw Cuihua lying on the wooden plank with a pale complexion, with a sackcloth wrapped around her stomach.

Shen Mingjiao asked her eyes that were red and swollen like flowers: "What's going on?"

Bringing this matter, Ruhua became angry: "It's not the group of lunatics on the other side! Today, my sister, as usual, invited Xiaojuan and the others to go fishing. Not long after I went out to sea, I encountered a big boat."

"The people on the boat chattered and didn't know what they were talking about! My sister knew that the other party was not easy to mess with, so she planned to leave, but who knew that the people on the boat didn't intend to let us go."
