When Xue Sifu and the others were done, Xue Erfu was still pulling on the candy. It would take a long time. The candy was quite thick, to begin with. However, one could already imagine what it would look like in the end.
“This thing is really magical.” Xue Wufu was lying on the side, watching without blinking.
Now that they were repeating the same action, they could imagine how they would look in the end. Xue Yan didn’t look at it anymore and went back to his room to draw the finishing touches.
Jiang Yue was still watching at the table.
Xue Erfu was definitely tired from pulling alone, but after pulling for a long time, he knew how to control his strength. Even when Xue Sifu and the others said that they would take over and let him rest, he didn’t rest and continued pulling alone.
At the end of the day, he still felt that he had not mastered this properly.
These silver candy threads were a big problem. If he could do more, he would still want to do more.
Of course, he was also afraid that if he changed the style halfway, he would not control his strength well and give up halfway.
By the time Xue Yan finished drawing the picture of how to make the silver threads and even added the instructions as an explanation, Xue Erfu still hadn’t finished.
“It was getting dark.”
Jiang Yue and the others had already finished dinner, but Xue Erfu wasn’t done yet. However, he seemed to be almost done because the sugar strands that he pulled out were really as thin as hair.
It also looked quite fluffy.
Xue Erfu looked at the results and felt that he was no longer tired. He said, “I’ll pull more again.” He also knew that the finer this thing was, the better.
In the end, he couldn’t pull it anymore. If he continued, the hair-thin candy would break. Xue Erfu looked at Jiang Yue and asked for her opinion.
“That’s good enough,” Jiang Yue said. “But Erfu, you still have to break it. It’s not easy to eat it like this. Help me break it into small pieces, please.”
“Alright,” he said. Xue Erfu immediately made his move.
At this time, Xue Dafu and the others could also help. They all washed their hands and helped to break them into small pieces.
Xue Yan also went to wash his hands, because, during dinner, he heard from Jiang Yue that after breaking it into small pieces, they would have to roll them into small balls so that they could be better eaten.
Jiang Yue had also washed her hands. When she saw that the candy had been pulled into small pieces, she reached out and picked up a small piece to roll up.”Just roll it like this and roll it into a ball. Actually, when you roll it like this, you can also add some stuffing inside. Although we don’t have any at home, it doesn’t affect the taste by much.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a small, rolled-up ball of silver wire was done. Jiang Yue placed it on a plate that she had prepared earlier.
There was no water on the plate. It was dry.
Xue Yan also rolled one up and put it on her plate.
Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and the others were much faster. They were very agile and quickly rolled up a lot of balls and filled up three plates.
She also sprinkled some cooked rice flour on it, which really looked like silver threads.
She only needed to bring one plate to Shopkeeper Qiao. As for the other two plates, she would send one plate to Dabao and Xiaobao to eat and leave the other plate at home.
Jiang Yue asked everyone to try it.
This time, Xue Dafu and the others couldn’t bear to taste it. They knew that their children were all sensible, so they picked up a rolled little ball and put it in their mouths. As expected, it melted in their mouths. The feeling was indescribable.
It was a completely different feeling from eating caramel candy.
“Is this still sweet?” Xue Wufu exclaimed.
