Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Chapter 6 Caramel Candy
The father and daughter stood between the bushes and weeds, their moods were quite subtle for a moment. Jiang Mingshun was moved by his father's fatherly heart, while Jiang Jinyu thought expectantly: Sooner or later, she would urge her father to make more money and build a garden. mansion.

After slowly calming down, Jiang Jinyu pulled her father's sleeve and reminded: "Dad, we still need to tidy up the yard first. We still have wheat to dry."

Although it is pitiful, Jiang Jinyu thought sadly, but he still has to rely on a few stones of wheat from these two acres of real estate for a while, so he must treat it carefully.

Jiang Mingshun nodded in agreement. If his yard could not be tidied up for drying grain, then he would have to carry it load by load to the village drying field. This would take a lot of time on the way back and forth every day. Now he is the only labor force in the family. If it rains, a year's hard work will be wasted.

Jiang Mingshun shuddered when he thought of the scene where the only food at home became moldy and smelly after being soaked by the rain.

He rolled up his sleeves and pushed Jiang Jinyu gently: "Mother Fish, you go in and water the wheat germ in the bamboo strips, and then grab a few more handfuls of wheat and put it out again."

"Dad, we don't have a sickle or a hoe." Jiang Jinyu couldn't help but feel worried when she saw that her father had bent down and started pulling weeds with his bare hands.

Sensing the worry in his tone, Jiang Mingshun almost shed tears. As an adoptive father, his daughter is the best to him!

"I'll go to the city to buy it tomorrow." Jiang Mingshun thought, there are still too few people, and now there is nothing at home, so he has to go to the city to buy it, and he can't take care of many other things.

After hearing this, Jiang Jinyu nodded and turned around and entered the room where the bamboo strips were placed.

The autumn harvest is coming to an end. Her father is busy harvesting wheat first, and her mother is in confinement. This year, the time to make maltose is later than usual.

Nowadays, there is only one pound of malt in one bamboo strip.

Jiang Jinyu touched her chin. These things cannot be seen by others, but now her family is really bare and they have to spend money everywhere.

What's more, the weather will start to get colder soon, but right now, their family of three cannot afford a thick cotton-padded jacket.

This winter, we have to have a warm winter, right?

The house needs to be repaired, and sugar must be made as soon as possible.

Jiang Jinyu quickly sprinkled water on the sprouted wheat and spread a few handfuls of wheat grains into another bamboo strip.

She put the two bamboo strips back into place, used something to block them, and then walked out after making sure they were not so obvious.

"Dad," Jiang Jinyu decided to put a little more pressure on her father: "We have to build a small house first to hide our things. If the uncles from the clan come to help us build the house, we can't prevent them from entering the house, right?"

Jiang Mingshun, who was immersed in pulling weeds, felt his shoulders sink.

He thought about the scene where his brothers from the clan came to help him repair his house, but he blocked them from entering the house, and quickly shook his head. The scene was so beautiful that he really didn't dare to think about it deeply.

Ever since he discovered that his daughter seemed to have something magical about her, Jiang Ming subconsciously took her daughter's words to heart.

Now he was thinking along Jiang Jinyu's train of thought. He thought for a moment, stood up and clapped his hands: "Mother Fish, we still have to move it up as soon as possible."

He frowned and continued: "In this way, your mother can take over the candy making, and I will be free to do other things."

Jiang Jinyu calculated in her mind that when the malt grew to a suitable height, her mother would have given birth for half a month, so it would not be impossible for her to take over the candy making job.

There was no way, Jiang Jinyu thought helplessly, in this era, especially for poor families in the countryside, there is no such thing as confinement.

Most women can rest for two or three days after giving birth to a son, but if they give birth to a daughter, everyone in the world will do so.

Before the next morning, Jiang Mingshun took a boat to the city after lunch.

Jiang Jinyu tried to cheat and keep up, but unfortunately she was too young and her parents wouldn't let her go.

Seeing that her daughter was downcast and looking pitiful, Mrs. Bai stretched out her hand to touch the top of her head and said comfortingly: "Didn't your father say that? Come back and bring you snacks." Jiang Jinyu was not very interested. Most of the snacks nowadays are crispy and crispy. Cake is not what she likes to eat.

She replied nonchalantly: "I can eat maltose too."

"How can that be counted?" Mrs. Bai said with a face that she has never seen the world. "It is medicine after all, how can it really be eaten as candy?"

Jiang Jinyu raised his head in confusion: "Isn't this also a snack? There is no maltose in the snack shop?"

"No," Bai nodded affirmatively, "I heard your father said that."

Hiss, Jiang Jinyu took a breath, and she thought of some possibility.

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, she asked tentatively: "Mom, have you heard from dad that there is a snack called caramel in the snack shop?"

She remembered that maltose was also called caramel. Maybe in this world, the one in drug stores was called maltose, but in the pastry shop, it was called caramel?
After all, there are still many people who are taboo about drug stores. Is it possible that some people don’t want to buy “medicine” when they are not sick?
This time Bai was not sure. She had never been to the city, so how could she know what was in the pastry shop.

Seeing this, Jiang Jinyu had no choice but to endure it for the time being.

She kept looking at the door, trying to look back at Jiang Mingshun with her mind.

Although it is not yet certain whether "jelly candy" exists, Jiang Jinyu has already started searching for the videos he has watched in his memory.

She remembered that as long as the colloidal maltose was pulled repeatedly to let air in, the sugar would change from amber to white.

After pulling enough times the sugar will start to harden.

It seems to be called "Ding Ding Candy", right?Jiang Jinyu thought uncertainly.

Probably when she was in elementary school, every time after school, there would be an old man selling "Ding Ding Candies" on a load at the school gate.

The reason why I suddenly remembered it now is because I saw someone shooting a tutorial video on the Internet not long before I was reborn.

Jiang Jinyu went over the process carefully in her mind to make sure that she could indeed do it.

Then he pulled Bai, who was breastfeeding, to talk about it.

After hearing this, Mrs. Bai felt that it was feasible, but she had never been decisive, so she just said: "Ask your father when he comes back."

Jiang Jinyu was no longer anxious at this time.

Regardless of whether it was sold in the pastry shop, she thought, as long as she could make it, she would be able to sell it.

There is no reason why she can't sell it again once someone else has sold it.

Jiang Mingshun hurried back quickly. Before he could put down his backpack in a hurry, he turned around and saw his daughter staring at him eagerly.

A smile couldn't help but appear on her face. His fish girl had been sensible and smart since she was a child, and she never asked for anything from their parents.

I originally said that I didn’t like cakes, but this time I saw it!
"Let's see what snacks dad bought you." Jiang Mingshun took out an oil paper bag from his backpack and handed it to Jiang Jinyu, shaking it.

Jiang Jinyu took it and was not in a hurry to eat it. He only asked expectantly: "Dad, have you ever seen anyone selling candy in the county town?"
