Chapter 206: A Little Different

“When you pull it, it’ll turn into strands of hair.” Jiang Yue continued, “My mother named it silver thread candy. Xue Yan and I want to take Qingshu and the others to see Shopkeeper Qiao tomorrow. He’s very famous in the town and should be able to help us. Xue Yan and I both think that it’s best not to owe him a favor, so we wanted to make this for him and teach him how to do it. Although it’s simple, he’s the manager of Lakshmi Restaurant, and Lakshmi Restaurant’s business is good. He can make a lot of money before others figure out how to do it.”

Xue Dafu chuckled. “You’re so thoughtful. It’s not good to owe someone a favor.”

“Yeah,” Liu Guixia also laughed and said, “If you don’t have to owe anyone a favor, it’s best not to start one. They are not related to us, so we can’t let them help us for free.”

Yu Hongyan laughed. “Then if shopkeeper Qiao really wants to help, this is a big favor. It’s better to return it. Otherwise, we won’t feel at ease.”

Li Hehua nodded, indicating that she was right.

With a small piece of caramel in his hand, Xue Wufu jumped over from the other side of the table like a monkey and chuckled at Jiang Yue. “Jiang Yue, it’s a good thing you said it now. Otherwise, Sifu would want to do this business.His mind is full of money-making businesses nowadays.”

Xue Sifu’s hands didn’t stop moving, but he raised his foot with a smile and lightly kicked Xue Wufu’s butt. “You talk too much! Didn’t you see what Jiang Yue said just now? Erfu has so little caramel candy in his hand, but he has to work for more than two hours. If we really do this business, won’t we be exhausted to death? We don’t have any backing, so this business won’t last long. We’ll just be doing it for a few days. Why do we have to do that? I heard that Shopkeeper Qiao is very close to the government and has a backer. Even if he were to use all the work labor to make some silver thread candy, he would probably be fine.”

Then, he turned to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan and said with a smile, “It’s good to return such a big favor. Otherwise, he’ll keep it in mind every day as if we owe him something.

“Yes, yes, yes.” Xue Dafu and the others agreed with this point and nodded.

At this moment, Xue Erfu finished making the caramel in his hands round and asked, “Jiang Yue, I’m done here. What’s next?”

“This one is a little different. You have to pull it inside the rice flour all the time and not leave the rice flour. Otherwise, they will stick to each other. “I’ll take it for you!” Jiang Yue said before she took a clean basin and poured in a lot of rice flour.

Xue Erfu understood this immediately and hurriedly placed the round-shaped caramel into the rice flour.

Jiang Yue then said, “Next, poke a hole in the middle and pull it to the four sides to form a circle. Then, the middle of the circle would roll and become two circles, and then pull it again. After that, you just have to repeat these actions. Pull, roll, pull, roll, and pull again.”

“I know.” Xue Erfu replied as he focused on his hand movements.

While listening to Jiang Yue’s explanation, Xue Yan watched Xue Erfu add sugar to the cooked rice noodles.

“Erfu, pay attention to your strength, don’t break the circle.” Jiang Yue warned.

“Alright.” Xue Erfu remembered this, and his movements became much gentler to prevent him from using too much strength and breaking the circle of candy.

Liu Guixia looked at it for a while before smiling. “It’s like making ramen noodles.”

“It’s similar, it’s similar.” Xue Dafu and the others laughed.
