After crossing, start from the courtyard

Chapter 130 Chapter 121 Really His Apprentice
"Uncle Yu!" Bang Geng walked into the room helplessly, his hands empty.

"Bangjiu, where's the stuff?"

Stick sitting at the table, seeing the white sugar poured into the bowl, he put a little white sugar into his mouth without washing his hands.

Sure enough, white granulated sugar is still delicious, much sweeter than that sugar painting.

"You child, you didn't get anything back! You started to eat white sugar?"

He Yu took out a handful of toffee from his pocket, put it on the table, looked at the stick, happily grabbed it, and there was only one left.

"You kid..."

"How is the thing? Xu Damao won't lend it to you?"

The stick peeled off the toffee, swallowed it in one gulp, chewed it non-stop, and the scent of milk spread in the mouth.

Su Wei stood aside and laughed, He Yu was so rich that he could grab a lot of milk candies and give them to children.

"Bang, I'm taking some out, aren't there any outsiders here?"

He Yu subconsciously looked at Su Wei, stunned for a moment, reluctantly took out another one, "That's all, I have to share the rest with my sisters!"

"Uncle Yu, Xu Damao didn't lend it to me! He still tried to beat around the bush and not lend it to me! Sure enough, it's better to be a fool!"

Just as Bang Geng opened his mouth, he quickly changed his words, "Hi Uncle Silly, Hello Uncle Yu."

"It's fine if you can't borrow the things. He Yu, you can still give me two yuan. I have to go back to do business! I haven't eaten lunch yet!"

"Don't be in a hurry." He Yu always looked not in a hurry, and said politely to Su Wei, "It will take time for you to go back, and you need to cook your own meals, so just leave me here to eat!"

Who doesn't want a free lunch, and He Yu is so generous, it is estimated that he must have a good lunch.

But Su Wei still pretended to be embarrassed, but he had already unconsciously agreed.

"Okay, excuse me."

Su Wei was afraid that the matter of making sugar paintings would be revealed, so he asked He Yu, "It's almost noon, shall I cook for you? I'm at home, and I cook alone. My wife doesn't come into the kitchen very often. I have a bad temper after work, and the service is not good! I have a reason not to go home to cook today, thanks to my brother."

It seems that Su Wei is eager to help, but He Yu is not in a hurry to cook, "The cooking is very fast, don't panic, I have to wait for Xiaoling to buy meat, she said, I want to eat cold salad, I told her this morning, Buy more meat."

After hearing this, Su Wei's neck stretched. Every family can eat meat several times a month, and it's only Chinese New Year, so I ate good food yesterday, and I can still eat meat today. I have to eat a lot this year. meal.

"Brother He Yu, food is important, sugar painting, don't worry, if you want to do it another day, go to my house, everything in my house is ready-made."

He Yu chuckled inwardly, how could he act like a good boy when he got a bargain.

"Let me tell you, my copper pot was passed down from my master. He has been using it for generations. Because I am his apprentice, the copper pot was given to me."

"I'll show you around then."

It's just a pot, He Yu is not interested at all, he just wants to see, this Su Wei makes sugar paintings, because he feels that Su Wei is very afraid of making sugar paintings, and when this matter is mentioned, he will always talk about it, will Attention shifted, but the more this happened, the more people had to doubt it.

"I'll borrow it! Brother Su, sit down and eat toffee."

"Bang Geng, you stay here too, you have to go anywhere! Stay with Brother Su Wei, otherwise..."

He Yu gave the order, seemingly tying the stick here, but in fact he was looking at Su Wei. In fact, he was not afraid of Su Wei running away, but he was afraid that something at home would be taken or lost.

Lollipop sat helplessly at the table, chewing on the toffee. There were only two on the table. Lollipop looked at the toffee and saw a pair of outstretched hands towards the toffee. Lollipop quickly took one away.

Su Wei had no choice but to move his hand to the other side. The other toffee was slightly smaller, but it was edible.

He unceremoniously unwrapped the wrapper wrapped around the toffee, and chewed it uncomfortably.

"My Uncle Yu's house is good. There are a lot of food, but there is one thing that I can't find!"

Strange to say, Uncle Yu's house has a lot to eat, but he couldn't find a single candy, and he didn't want to reach out to Uncle Yu's clothes pockets, there was no hair, and his sleeves were empty.

"Unexpectedly, you kid didn't lie to me this time!"

Just being able to get so much white sugar is enough to show that He Yu is rich and powerful, it doesn't matter, a poor cook can get so much, if he gets it all from the public, he won't be reported.

When He Yu came to Xu Damao's house, Xu Damao was cooking, and the dishes had already been served on the table. Through the curtain, two hard dishes and a plate of peanuts could be clearly seen. Add a dish.

In the past, when Lou Xiao'e was here, their family probably had two or three dishes. When he was gone, Xu Damao ate alone, and he looked rich.

He Yu knocked on the door lightly, at this time Xu Damao looked outside and saw He Yu pestle at the door.

"What's the matter? Just tell me if you have something to do?"

He Yu didn't beat around the bush, and asked Xu Damao, "Borrow a medicine mortar."

"Heh, Bang Geng came here just now. It seems that he borrowed this medicine mortar for you. No wonder, you didn't tell him that you have to borrow this thing by yourself?"

He Yu was taken aback for a moment, this kid didn't borrow it, so it was because of this reason.

"I don't know that BangGou came to borrow your things, but I really need it now, can you lend it to me?"

Xu Damao glanced at the door again, paused for three seconds, and said, "If you want, you can take it yourself."

"It's right next to the cabinet." Xu Damao added.

What Xu Damao said shocked He Yu a little. Usually when Xu Damao saw him, he was like seeing a silly Zhu, and he looked down upon each other.

Unexpectedly, Xu Damao really borrowed it. He Yu walked from the cabinet very consciously, and saw the medicine mortar.

He lifted the medicine mortar, but he couldn't lift it a little bit, Bang Gan thought Xu Damao was fooling him.

Picking up the mortar, He Yu thanked Xu Damao, "Thank you for the mortar."

"If you want to use it, take it yourself. Borrowing this thing is giving away your own illness! Why would I not do it? Is it possible that I still keep this illness at home!"

He Yu didn't hate Xu Damao either, after all, the medicine mortar belonged to his family, and he just wanted to say it, and he didn't believe it.

"No matter what, I have to thank you. After all, you can lend me this thing regardless of the previous suspicions, and I am impressed with you!"

Xu Damao snorted softly and said nothing, then He Yu walked out the door with the mortar in his hand.

After going out, I saw the stick eating candy in the house from afar.

Banggen didn't expect Uncle Yu to borrow the medicine mortar when he was young.

"Uncle Yu, did you really take this thing? Xu Damao really lent it to you? Why didn't he lend it to me, but to you instead?"

Su Wei took a look, but he didn't expect him to really take it seriously.

"Do I really want to use this to make sugar? The taste of this thing is probably not as fragrant as that of a copper pot. If you boil it with this thing, the taste will not stay. This thing is used for pounding medicine all the year round. It smells like medicine!" Su Wei was a little bit unimpressed with the medicine mortar.

"Don't worry, there's not much medicinal smell on it. Xu Damao has a cleanliness habit, so everything has to be washed, and after washing, let it hang out in the sun, and the smell will dissipate long ago."

He Yu personally put the mortar on the kang with coals burning underneath. He added a few pieces, and let Su Wei do the rest.

"Start your performance next, just tell me what you need!"

Su Wei nodded, even if he had to bite the bullet now, he asked He Yu if he had any oil.

He Yu immediately handed over a bottle of good oil, Su Wei poured a little oil, spread the oil on the mouth of the medicine mortar, and spread evenly, he took out half of the sugar and water, mixed the sugar and water together, according to 1: The ratio of 2, and then boiled, until the bubbles, he kept stirring, until the bubbles turned slightly yellow, from big bubbles to small bubbles, it was almost ready.

He Yu looked at it quietly, and it was a very simple principle, which is to boil the sugar dry and then form syrup. The purpose of boiling the sugar is to turn the sugar into sugar flakes so that it can be used for painting. Yu brought an iron bowl, brushed it lightly with oil, and poured the syrup into it.

After a while, the syrup turned into sugar flakes. During each painting process, he needs to prepare a spoon and melt it with a low fire to facilitate painting.

Su Wei demonstrated it to He Yu himself. He took out a small piece of sugar and put it in a spoon. He gently baked it on a low fire. If the fire was too high, the sugar would become burnt and it would not be able to paint. standard.

"Go get a marble slab!" Su Wei said to He Yu.

He didn’t have the marble slab, but the iron sheet, he used it for grilling before, and he prepared it again, it was brand new, so he just brought it over, “Is this iron sheet okay?”

Su Wei nodded. The iron piece is good enough, but he doesn't know if it will work. He has to try it to know. It may be too late to find the marble now.

Su Wei brushed the oil on the iron blade again and again, probably several times, and then slowly poured the syrup on the iron blade when he felt it was ok.

Seeing his painting skills, He Yu trembled a little, but luckily he could still draw it, but the animals he drew were somewhat different. You said it looked like a snake, but it was not a snake. You said it looked like a dragon, but it had no horns. He is like a caterpillar, with such a big caterpillar, the feet are too small!
Su Wei sweated a little, this is finally taking shape, "Okay, that's fine."

There are no wooden sticks here, only chopsticks are used as sticks.

He dipped his chopsticks on these sugar paintings, and holding the chopsticks, he handed the sugar paintings to He Yu.

He Yu held it in his hand and looked carefully, it was clearly a dragon with extra legs.

Fortunately, there was no overturning this time. Su Wei looked at his work here with satisfaction. It can be said that it can be regarded as the most serious one he made, because this dragon is more beautiful than usual, and there is no harm if there is no comparison. , There is no progress without comparison.

"How about it? I'm not bad at this skill. If you don't have 10 years of kung fu, don't tell me, you can't even draw a curve well!"

"This is pretty good for me. Although there are some flaws, I can hardly see it. After all, I have only been out for a few years. It is not bad to be able to reach this level. The main reason is that the cost is relatively high."

Su Wei still wanted to make excuses for himself, but He Yu saw it right away.

"You have to taste this taste, otherwise you will say that it is too expensive to be worthwhile."

He Yu tasted it himself, and the taste was very strong, so he also tasted the sticky one.

After tasting the stick, he looked at He Yu in shock, because the taste was completely different from the sugar painting he had eaten before.

"Uncle Yu, your sugar painting is so sweet that it sticks to your teeth!"

"I also think it's very sweet! Is it because there's too much sugar in it? Isn't the one you ate earlier tasted the same?"

Stick shook his head, "How come it tastes like this, the one I ate before didn't taste good! The sugar painting before was not sweet at all!"

He Yu glared at Su Wei, and Su Wei quickly explained, "You also know that whole sugar must be more expensive! My price is already the normal price, so it will inevitably be a bit lighter. Another problem is the quality of the sugar! I That candy must have been confused by others, or this kid is lying, and they said it was sour when they came to buy it!"

"You know, if you eat something sour and then eat something sweet, wouldn't it be even more sour! So the taste must be wrong!"

He Yu probably understood the ins and outs. In order to earn more money, this guy cut corners, reduced the sugar, added more water, and added some impurities in the sugar. I don’t know what it is, it may be flour. , it is also possible that other things replaced the sugar, causing the sugar painting to become slightly sour.

"Maybe! But your shape is really embarrassing. This dragon doesn't look like a dragon. If other people think it's a gecko!"

Su Wei smiled wryly, "I've only been in this business for a few years, and you don't care about the villains. At worst, I don't want your money, okay?"

He Yu laughed heartily, "How embarrassing it is, it's just a matter of two dollars, you stay for dinner today! Have a good chat with me."

He Yu is very optimistic about this man. Although this man knows how to cut corners and do some unscrupulous things, he has brains and business opportunities.

On this point, He Yu took a fancy to it.

"Bang, your mother came home and told you to eat, hurry back!"

"Uncle Yu, I want to stay at your house for dinner, didn't you say you want to eat meat?"

"Sister Xiaoling, you haven't come back yet. What are you eating? You should go back quickly, or your mother will be in a hurry later and will look for you everywhere for dinner! When you go back later, there may be no leftovers left!"

As soon as He Yu reminded him, Bang Geng said quickly, "Then I'll go back first, if I'm not full, I'll come to your place then!"

As soon as the sticky words were finished, he ran out in a swipe and ran towards the house.

As soon as the stick is gone, He Yu cuts to the chase, "Brother Su Wei, you cut corners a lot with this sugar painting, right? And it's really not worth the price. I really don't believe that a large number of people will buy your sugar painting. Why don't you buy it?" Use the money to buy white sugar directly."

"You made it here, and you didn't dare to cut corners in front of me, so it tastes sweeter, but your shape has already betrayed you! You are a hawker who sells sugar paintings. It is impossible to sell the same person again."

"Because everyone knows that your shape is not good-looking and tasteless. The price is high, and few people will buy it! It's me, and I don't know how to buy it. It's better to buy some white sugar and brown sugar. It's still worth it. It's real. material."

After He Yu finished speaking, Su Wei was not angry, because what He Yu said was the truth, and he just pushed the stick away just to talk to him alone.

"My father told me that the essence of sugar painting lies in boiling sugar and painting sugar."

"Either or less."

Su Wei looked at He Yu in shock, "Who is your father?"

"Your surname is He... Then your father is... Mr. He?"
