There was a false alarm at home, but Xiao Han, as the owner, didn't know at all, he led Xiaodong to the wine shop before dawn today.

A few days ago, the family collected a large pile of sugarcane, almost filling a warehouse, pushing the door in, it was like entering a sugarcane forest, and the whole family gnawed on the skin of the mouth and did not gnaw much.

Fortunately, Xiao Han also knew that sugarcane was the raw material for making sugar, so he tinkered with it and asked people to take out a part of the sugarcane to squeeze the juice, and wait for it to be boiled dry today, so that there would be sugar.

Actually, there was still frosting in the Tang Dynasty, but I don't know what it was extracted from, not only expensive! There is always a bitter taste when it tastes, like the saccharin that Xiao Han ate in the orphanage when he was a child, anyway, the sweet is not so authentic, Xiao Han, who thinks that his hands-on ability is superb, has a chance, and naturally wants to work for the welfare of people who love sweets, and it will be recorded in the history books in the future: Hou Xiaohan of Sanyuan County, taking sugarcane and making sugar, the merit is in the contemporary era, and the exception is a thousand years!

Eh, Xiao Han drooled and thought far away......

In the winery in Zhuangzi, the muddy yellow sugar water has been clarified a lot after a night of precipitation, and then it is filtered twice with fine gauze, and then it begins to boil in the pot, the fire can not be too big, and it will not taste good if it is too big to burn, so a pot of sugar water, boiled from morning to mid-morning, this is the end.

Xiao Han didn't know how to boil sugar, he just took it for granted that the process of making salt was used, but he didn't expect that the smoke of boiling sugar was very big, and this smoke was choking and tearful!

Finally, when the smoke cleared, the whole room was in tears, and if it didn't work, they would be sorry for the tears that flowed!

The fat cook asked Xiao Han's opinion, and lifted the lid of the pot with some trepidation, because the smoke was so choking, he was very afraid of boiling out a pile of coke, not because he felt sorry for the sugar cane, but because he was afraid that Hou Ye would be angry and angry, and he would definitely spread his resentment on himself! The reason, the fat chef has thought about him: you don't burn the fire well!!

After reciting God's blessing several times, when the lid of the pot was lifted and the smoke dissipated, the fat cook hurried to look into the pot, but his head was too fast and too fast, and he almost didn't get into the pot......

"Be careful! Drop it in the pot and rest assured that you will boil it out! Xiao Han's eyes were quick, he grabbed the fat cook, scolded him, and looked into the pot again, and there were only waxy yellow crystals less than an inch thick left in the sugar water that was almost full at the beginning.

"Hey, it's done!" The stunned man applauded and laughed, and before he could finish laughing, he received a slap on the head.

"Fart, Master Hou did it! Can it be? Xiaodong rubbed his palms and scolded him, and turned his head with a flattering face: "Master Hou, are you right?" How to eat this thing, how is it different from the usual frosting......"

This bastard, obviously he has no confidence at all, and he is embarrassed to say others, and sure enough, the older he gets, the more shameless he becomes!

However, Xiao Han was too lazy to care about these now, picked up a small mallet that had been prepared a long time ago, knocked a little along the edge of the pot, twisted it and filled it into his mouth, and suddenly, a pure sweetness rippled on the tip of his tongue, not only sweet, but also with a fragrance! Hey, this is the sugar, I ate it before, what is that thing called!

With sugar, there are braised pork, braised pork ribs, and even Xiao Han's favorite pork head meat!

The man who killed the pig that day was busy for two days, and in the end he didn't bring anything back except money! All the things were accepted by Xiao Han, even the most useless pigskins.

The fat chef blushed when he thought of this, the pork skin was a waste in his eyes, it was not good to make leather, the fishy smell was too heavy when he ate it, and he couldn't bite it, and he was scolding Hou Ye in his heart for making a mistake again, who knew that Hou Ye asked someone to clean the pork skin, cut it well, add chicken, bones and various spices to boil it together, boil out a big pot of thick soup, put it overnight, the next day the soup in the pot became jelly, cut off a piece, there was soup and meat in it, and it was called a beauty when you ate it!

The fat cook took a bite tentatively at that time, almost burst into tears, and I don't know where Hou Ye learned so many ways! originally thought that he had done his best, but now that he looks, it turns out that Hou Ye is a real person who does not show his face!

The Tang people are very fond of sweets, watching Xiao Han's delicious food, and the others immediately rushed up, each grabbing a piece, biting and squeaking, listening to the sound from outside the house, and thinking that they had entered a room of big mice!

"Hey, Hou Ye Tian, it's so sweet!" The stunned man on the edge of the stove held a large piece of candy in one hand, stretched out his tongue to lick this piece, licked that piece, and even had the kung fu to speak!

Xiao Han licked his fingers unfinished, and slapped him on the head with a slap: "You are sweet, you are sweet from head to toe!" Can you speak? ”

"Oops......" The stunned man shrank his neck when he was beaten by Xiao Han, but he still hurriedly parried and said: "Hehe, blame me, blame me, it's the sugar sweetness made by Hou Ye!" What kind of candy cube I ate before compared to this, it's! It's still ...... Hou Ye is amazing."

"Nonsense! Don't look at who I am! Xiao Han's nostrils were about to rise to the sky, although he drank a bowl of sugar boiled with "" yesterday, but for the sake of this kid's adjective, he still generously skipped this point, pointed to the cauldron and said to the fat chef: "Don't eat it, you're all fat pigs!" Eat it again, shovel all this sugar, and I'll be useful when I get it back! ”

"Huh? Isn't this for that? As soon as he heard that Xiao Han was going to take away these sugars, he was suddenly a little reluctant, this thing tasted crispy and sweet! He hadn't eaten anything so delicious since he was a child, and now he can't wait to hold on to it and gnaw them all the time, so he just ate a few bites, and he won't let him eat them?

"Of course not, besides, you can't eat too much of this thing, if you eat too much, it's not good for your health, and you can get sick, and life is better than death! Don't delay, hurry up, there's something to do when you go back! ”

Xiao Han was afraid that these gluttons would eat secretly, so he deliberately said that the consequences of diabetes were more serious.

This trick really works, when I heard that life is better than death, my face turned green, and I hurriedly threw the sugar in my hand back into the pot, but I threw it away without wiping the saliva on your sugar? Do other people need to eat it?

Looking at the sugar cubes in the pot, Xiao Han had a dark face and kicked hard on the stunned ass several times before he could be considered relieved.

With the freshly baked sugar and a few jars of new wine, Xiao Han and the people in the wine shop hummed a small tune and walked home.

Today is the cleanest day in Zhuangzi! Everything was cleaned up, the doors and windows were polished, the wide cement road was swept without any sand, and the farmers who were immersed in the festive atmosphere were eager to wipe the big branches moved by the roadside!

This year, but their first year in the Xiao family Zhuangzi, it is also the best year in memory!

Every family has vegetables and meat, and everyone has new clothes! In the middle of the door, a big pig's head has an apple stuffed in its mouth, as if smiling at itself!

An old man with gray hair trembled slightly and invited the ancestral tablet to come over, put it in the innermost part of the offering table, and chattered to the ancestor about the current happy life.

Finally, after the chatter, I have to let the descendants of the family put the same dishes on the offering table, and then kowtow a few times respectfully, praying that the ancestors can bless them with peace and security, and live this good life forever! In the hard days before, he didn't even want to think about it anymore!

Walking all the way from the street, everyone who saw Xiao Han smiled and said hello, and Xiao Han also nodded in return, but somehow, he always felt weird, as if there was something shortcoming, and there was no New Year's atmosphere!

When he arrived at the door of the house, standing under the steps and looking at the tall lintel, Xiao Han suddenly remembered what was missing!

"Spring Festival couplets! How can there be no Spring Festival couplets for the New Year, oops! Confused! Xiao Han suddenly screamed, so frightened that Xiao Dong behind him almost threw out the candy in his arms, and quickly hugged it, and then asked Xiao Han carefully: "Master Hou?" What are you talking about? What are Spring Festival couplets? ”

Xiao Han patted his head and said with annoyance: "Spring Festival couplets, it's Spring Festival couplets!" Hey, I can't explain it to you, go and find me some red paper, it's big, it's long! Just go! ”

"Okay......" Xiaodong's brows were about to wrinkle together, although he didn't understand what Hou Ye was talking about, but he still sent the candy in his arms to the person next to him, spread his legs and ran into the house, I still remember that there was a lot of red paper left in the last time I went to the beam, where did I put it?
