Old classmates von marschall z from wuxi hand-made peanuts, sugar, crisp and not sweet, taste is very good, reminds me of my childhood with their parents to do the day of peanut candy, especially sugar liquid new out of the pot that thick fragrance, favorite memories.
Peanut candy is very chewy, fragmentary sesame, accompanied by crisp brown rice in the mouth roll, at this time drink the tea of the water of the day bubble in the family, it is the world delicacy.
It's hard work, it's all manual work. There was a lot of stuff to buy tickets, food stamps, tickets... Whether the sugar solution also needs the ticket, can't remember. I remember my father getting up early, riding his bike, and putting two plastic buckets on it to buy raw materials for sugar. The sugar liquid is the main ingredient, peanuts, sesame, brown rice are the ingredients, and occasionally the dried tangerine peel and osmanthus are added. When my father bought the materials back, they parted ways, and my father scrambled peanuts and sesame, and my sister and I helped my mother to strip the peanuts and remove the clothes from the peanut kernel. To suit the son is also a live technical, stir-fried peanuts cooling, such as with the hand rub repeatedly, or in a large bowl, back and forth to peanuts thrown into the air, put the clothes away, seemingly simple, but no work is playing up. The peanuts and the sesame seeds will be crushed together with a rolling pin and placed in a large bowl. The brown rice and the orange peel will be mixed together and ready to go.
Father began to boil the sugar. It is often used to boil the stove, the stove is hot, the pot is big, it is iron, it is easy to do, and then the city USES the coal stove, the pot is small, afraid too late to boil, it is the two furnaces together to make a fire. Father first copied the guy to boil the sugar solution, mother on the side of the small round table scrubbed clean, ready to cut board and knife. Liquid sugar cook good, father would pour ingredients together into the pot, stir rapidly, such as peanut, sesame and liquid sugar stick together and dish up, pour on the table, kneading, back and forth in sugar not cold, the basic shape, with a knife quickly cut sugar into a matchbox size pieces, strewn on the table waiting for cooling. When the sugar is too hot, cut the sugar when not formed, when it is too cold, the cut will be loose, and the heat is important for sugar.
Dad cut the first pot sugar well spread on the table, I will take the heat for a few blocks in the mouth, loose soft, have the feeling of drawing, but will stick teeth, remember once gave a has loose tooth stick out; While the cooled sugar is crunchy and with different hard nuts, the delicacy is still missing.
