Chapter 417 Candied Haws
Chapter 417 Candied Haws
Although it was not a very cold winter, there was a rare little snow the next day.
There wasn't much snow, and it had almost melted by the time Xia Anan and the others got up.
Xia Anan walked around the yard for several times before she found a small ball of snow. She squeezed it into a small snowball and brought it into the room. Her hands were frozen red.
"Is it cold?"
When Lu Qingyuan came closer, Xia Anan put her cold hand into his neck.
Lu Qingyuan was startled, but he didn't retreat.
"I remember there are gloves at home. Wear them when you go out to play later."
Xia Anan nodded perfunctorily: "I know, I know."
If you wear gloves while playing in the snow, can it still be called playing in the snow?
After breakfast, Xia Anan and Xia Baobao went to the company together.
While Lu Qingyuan was working, the two of them were playing and strolling around in the park near the company.
After entering the twelfth lunar month, the city becomes bustling.
Even the green belts have been carefully maintained and have many small colored lights hung on them.
Xia Anan suddenly thought of her own yard. The property management had come to ask her a few days ago if she needed help decorating it.
But she still felt that it was more meaningful to do it herself, so after Lu Qingyuan finished his work today, they went to the supermarket together.
All kinds of decorative items were arranged and the shopping cart was filled to the brim.
They went back home quite early today, and the family of three dressed up with the things they bought, and the festive atmosphere was immediately felt.
"I turned on the light."
After Lu Qingyuan finished speaking, the small colored lights immediately lit up.
"Dad is so awesome!"
Xia Baobao excitedly trotted in the yard, and performed the dance he had recently learned to Xia Anan and the other person.
Lu Qingyuan was responsible for playing music, while Xia Anan was responsible for clapping.
The lively atmosphere here spread to the next door, and Fu Sijia ran out and exclaimed, "Jiaojiao, come out and watch Baobao's performance!"
With the support of several people, the little guy was so excited that he jumped until he was sweating profusely.
But perhaps because there were so many people, he didn't feel tired and demonstrated everything the teacher taught him...
The consequence of over-expending energy is that you almost dive into the bowl while eating.
He fell asleep before he could even swallow the food in his mouth.

Xia Anan ordered some fruits in advance, planning to make some candied haws.
I saw it in the supermarket yesterday, but there was only one kind, hawthorn. Xia Anan planned to make some other ones today.
As long as the sugar is cooked well, the candied haws will be crispy and not sticky.
When Lu Qingyuan was about to go out, Xia Anan was washing fruits with her aunt, including hawthorn, green grapes, strawberries, and cherry tomatoes...
Whatever fruit you have at home, have some.
"An An, I'm going out."
Xia Anan hummed, then continued to wash the fruit, taking the time to put the cracked green grapes into her mouth.
There was a sound of a door closing outside. Xia Anan thought Lu Qingyuan had left, but he appeared at the kitchen door.
"An An, I have to go to work."
Xia Anan nodded. She knew. Hadn’t she just said it?
Lu Qingyuan strode up to her and said, "So, you don't plan to give me a pre-departure..."
Before he could finish his words, Xia Anan walked over and kissed him on the lips.
“Keep working hard!”
The faint smell of green grapes still lingered at the corner of her lips, but Xia Anan had already moved away.
Lu Qingyuan's mouth curled up unconsciously, "Well, then I'll go to work..."
While her aunt was stringing the fruits on bamboo sticks, Xia Anan was making syrup.
First add an appropriate amount of water and sugar into the pot, and boil over high heat to remove some of the water in the pot.
As it cooks, the syrup will gradually turn yellow.
Don't be too anxious when boiling the syrup, and don't stir it all the time, otherwise it will probably become sandy.
When you think it’s about done, dip your chopsticks in some syrup and put the tip of the chopsticks in ice water; the syrup will solidify immediately.
If it tastes sticky, it means it is not cooked well. If it becomes hard immediately and is crunchy when eaten, it means it is cooked well.
Turn the skewers of fruit in the prepared syrup to evenly coat the fruit with syrup, and place them on a greased plate.
I added a little bit of each fruit, and finally made some candied tomatoes and candied hawthorns.
In the end, it was so colorful that Xia Anan felt that she could go out and set up a stall right away.
