"Oh, I want the big dragon candy painting, I want to eat..." Ajiao kept crying in the room.

Seeing a pair of sisters and children in the opposite shop licking carp-shaped sugar paintings at the door, Ajiao ran to the kitchen and cried to Maoxi to eat.

Mao Xiteng, who was busy cooking, couldn't do anything, so he could only ask the scholar who collected the bill to help coax him first.

But the little baby cried too much and wanted to eat. The scholar had no choice but to carry Ajiao into the small room.

"Shopkeeper, why don't you bring some maltose and boil it, and I'll dig out a piece for Ajiao to eat first."

"Oh~~~ I don't want candy, I want candy paintings!" Ajiao started crying, tears falling down.

The little girl didn't want sugar paintings. She just wanted to show off the sugar paintings in front of other children.

"Ah Jiao, be obedient. When Sister is finished, I will make sweets for you to eat. The tools for making sugar paintings are all in the snack shop. I have to wait until next time."

Mao Xi could only comfort her sister first. She took out some caramel and cooked it first.

"Xiao Qing, you stir-fry the spicy chicken, and I'll make some halva."

When Ah Jiao saw that Miao Xi was boiling maltose, she stopped crying: "Sister, sister, I want a big dragon!"

Mao Xi tickled her sister's nose: "The tools for making sugar paintings are not in the restaurant. My sister will make dragon's beard candy for you to eat, okay? Jiao must be obedient~"

"What is the dragon's beard? Is it also made of sugar?" Ajiao asked curiously.

"Of course, I will cook it for you now."

Mao Xi took some wheat flour and put it into the pot, stir-fried it and poured it into the basin.

After boiling the maltose for making sugar paintings, first pour it into a basin filled with oil. When the temperature drops and the maltose can deform at will, Mao Xi grabs two pieces of warm sugar from the basin with his hands. Rubbing in hands.

Ajiao grabbed a handful of fried wheat flour in the basin and was about to put it into his mouth.

"Ajiao, you can't eat this wheat flour directly, I want to use it to make candy."

Ajiao clapped her little hands, smelled her palms, and asked, "Sister, this wheat flour smells so good. Is it supposed to be wrapped in sugar?"

Mao Xi kneaded the maltose in his hand into a circle and began to stretch it, like ramen noodles, folding it in half, stretching it, and then folding it in half again.

Every time you fold it in half, put the soft maltose in your hand into the wheat flour in the basin and roll it.

By the ninth time, the maltose in my hand was as soft as hair.

Xiao Qing and Lou Lan'er were also attracted by the sugar whiskers in Ma Xi's hand, and stood aside quietly watching Ma Xi continue to draw.

The ninth lap, the tenth lap... On the twelfth lap, Mao Xi rolled in the wheat flour for the last time and pulled up the sugar thread in his hand.

The roots are as thin as silk and cotton. If you tear off a section, it will be soft and light.

Mao Xi tore off a small piece and gave it to his sister Ajiao: "Little guy, try it. Is this candy delicious?"

Ajiao put the candy into his mouth and held it in his mouth. As he held it, it melted.

She stretched out her little hand, pulled out a small piece, pouted her little mouth and blew it towards the dragon beard cake, lightly.

"Sister, this is the mustache candy. I want to show it to Xiaoya and Daya across the street."

Ajiao took another piece of Longxu Cake and ran to the door of the restaurant to show off to her friends.

It was also the first time for Xiao Qing and Lou Lan'er to see this Long Xusu cake: "Shopkeeper, how can this maltose be so soft and soft? I think a needle can go through at least dozens of them, right?"

"There are more than dozens of them. I will continue to pull them down and fold them in half twenty times. A needle eye can pass through a hundred dragon beard cakes." Ma Xi pulled some dragon beard cakes to Xiaoqing and Lou Lan'er and continued, "You guys Do you want to try it too?"

"I'll try it too!" Lou Lan'er also took a ball of warm maltose from the basin and started pulling it.

"Note, when folding in half, use skillful force rather than force. The candy bar should be even in thickness, and then fold in half in a circle."

While guiding, Mao Xi took another pot and fried a plate of peanut and sesame fillings.

Lou Laner and Xiao Qing also made perfect Longxu Cake after trying it separately.

Mao Xi took scissors, cut the dragon beard cake into small pieces, then wrapped it with sesame and peanut filling, kneaded it into a ball and put it in a food box.

A box contains twelve wrapped dragon beard cakes. Mao Xi asked the waiter to sell them. A box sold for 10 yuan.

Ah Jiao ran to Da Ya Er Ya with two balls of dragon beard cakes: "Come and see, these are the dragon beard cakes that my sister made for me. They are edible candies."

After saying that, he pouted his little mouth and put the dragon beard cake in his hand under his nose.

"Haha, hahaha~ Ajiao, you have a beard." Daya laughed.

Ajiao ate the "beard" candy in one bite, divided the remaining dragon beard cake into two portions, and gave them to Daya and Erya respectively.

"I'll give this to you. My mustache candy is delicious."

In the restaurant, the waiter took a plate and presented three dragon beard cakes to each table.

"Have a good meal, sir. This is the opening of the shop. The snacks given to you are: Dragon Beard Cake."

"Waiter, don't leave yet!" Nalan Jue called to the waiter, who picked up a dragon beard cake and started eating it.

This sugar looks like a ball of delicate sugar strands like the sunset, coated with fried wheat flour, and is especially sweet.

It slowly melts in your mouth, and the sugar shreds are refreshingly sweet.

"As thin as silk, and tastes like cotton. Waiter, do you have this dragon beard cake for sale?"

"Yes. Mr. Nalan, do you want to dine in or take away?"

"Take it away and give me another!"

Nalan Jue was full of praise for this new dessert, and the diners on the side also followed suit and asked the waiter for more.

Mao Xi saw that the sales of Dragon Beard Cake were good, so she also arranged for them in the cake shop.

Mu Zhiyuan and Li Bing asked about the moire brocade at Kaitang Cloth Shop. Only one time-honored cloth shop sold it. The transaction records showed that the recent purchaser of this cloth was Shopkeeper Hu from Qingxiang Building.

Mu Zhiyuan took the brocade fragments and found Mao Xi with the information obtained from the investigation.

"Ah Shu, the person who stole the glass from the sugar water shop this time is probably the shopkeeper Hu from Qingxiang House. I speculate that he arranged for Xiaohai's seafood cart to be dug up on the road to create a landslide, which caused you to fail on the first day you opened. Seafood.”

"But is there direct evidence?" Shui Xi was not surprised. Shopkeeper Hu was one of her suspects.

"In the peach grove on the outskirts where the glass was destroyed, I found fragments of moiré brocade. In the past three years, only shopkeeper Hu's housekeeper has bought this fabric. Let me go to his house to investigate."

"Brother Mu, shopkeeper Hu's wife is not an easy person to talk to. Why do you want to investigate?"

"And me!" Phantom thief Yi Zhili suddenly appeared from behind Mu Zhiyuan.

"Yizhili? How did you..." Mao Xi didn't know Li Bing's identity, "Brother Mu, did you pay him to help with the investigation?"

Li Bing bowed his hands and said: "Shopkeeper Liu, I am someone close to the prince. Please ask me to go to the Hu Mansion to investigate. I will find evidence and seek justice for you."
