“Yifu, what are you holding in your hand?” Xue Dafu put down the shovel and asked.
Xue Yifu laughed awkwardly. “These are the leftovers that Sifu brought back. These are the glutinous rice, wheat, and cornmeal that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue bought for Xiaobao and the others to make caramels. Xiaobao and the others helped to dig up raspberries last time, so Xue Yan and Jiang Yue want to thank them.”
After saying that, he put down the things in his hands.
Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and Yu Hongyan all looked at Jiang Yue and Xue Yan in surprise. “You guys know how to make caramel?”
Xue Sifu was also quite surprised.
However, at the same time that he was surprised, he immediately thought that since Xue Yan and Jiang Yue knew how to make that, should he try to start a business of making caramel candy?
Before Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could say anything, Xue Yifu chuckled and explained, “Jiang Yue knows how to make it. Didn’t Jiang Yue’s mother always know how to cook when she was alive? She has also thought about this before. When Jiang Yue sees it, she will remember it and know how to cook it. “Yes,” Li Hehua agreed. “I heard from Jiang Yue that these things can be used to make a little more than a pound of caramel candy. It’s much cheaper than buying it directly.”
“This… Good, good, good.” Liu Guixia and Xue Dafu were very happy.
Liu Guixia was more attentive and quickly said, “Didn’t you just give me ten silver back? Where did you get the money to buy it? Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, have you spent all your money? Come, come, come, come, follow me in, I’ll give you more. Look at the things you’ve bought, it’s also to make caramels for the other kids to eat, but you’re not even willing to buy a piece of caramel for yourself. Poor you, even us adults aren’t as thoughtful as you. This time, I must give you more so that you can have enough for yourselves too.”
In the end, Liu Guixia’s heart ached for her two precious children.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other as they were led into Liu Guixia’s room. It was good. They didn’t need to say anything and were getting money.
This time, Liu Guixia gave Jiang Yue and Xue Yan two silver.
It was still Xue Yan who kept it.
When they came out of Liu Guixia’s room, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan each had an oil-paper package in their hands.
“I bought you some delicious food. Hurry up and eat.” Xue Sifu laughed. Then, he put the other paper bag aside. “This is for Grandpa. Mother, I didn’t buy any for you. I didn’t have that much money. I’ll buy some for you when I earn more money.”
Liu Guixia and the others laughed. “We’re neither old nor young. What’s there to buy? It’ll just be a waste of money. We can’t buy it even if we have money.”
Seeing that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t want to open the package, Liu Guixia and the others smiled and urged them, “Hurry up and eat. It’s a big chicken leg. Sifu loves you, but don’t let the children who pass by see it. If another child takes a bite, Sifu will be in a terrible mood. He bought it especially for you. Quickly. Hurry up and eat. We have our own food and there’s more than enough for everyone. This is for you two.”
If they didn’t eat, they would really be letting down Sifu’s kind intentions.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had no choice but to slowly open the oil paper bags in their hands.
Sure enough, there was a big chicken leg in the oil-paper bag that was originally quite crispy, but now it was cold and not so crispy. Only the layer of flour on the surface was still a little crispy.
