Xue Wufu shouted again.

Xue Sifu really couldn’t stand his brother lying on his shoulder. He stretched his neck to watch Jiang Yue use chopsticks to pull at the malt candy while calling out in his ear.

Because it was right next to his ear, he even had a ringing noise after.

He pushed his brother’s head away with one hand and laughed, “Wufu, can you stop? You’re always the loudest here. Doesn’t the town sell that candy as well? That candy seller probably doesn’t even know how to make it that white and big, he only knows how to do it.”

“That’s right,” Xue Erfu laughed and said, “We don’t even know why the seeds germinate when we grow crops. Why do we care so much? We just know what to do. Jiang Yue, do you need help?”

“Yes.” Jiang Yue nodded. “It’s faster to use your hands.”

Xue Sifu quickly washed his hands.

Xue Erfu was afraid that his fourth brother couldn’t carry so much on his own, so he went to wash his hands and split the candy in half for each of them.

Xue Yifu and the others wanted to help as well, but they no longer needed their help.

Only then did Jiang Yue ask Li Hehua to help with the rice noodles.

After the rice flour was cooked, the malt would be placed in the rice flour to prevent them from sticking to each other.

The malt had not been completely cooled, so it was placed on a plate like a round cake, which was also easy to store. The shops in town usually made round cakes like this. If you bought malt candy, they would break the round cake and weigh it for you.

However, she wasn’t going to make it for sale, and she didn’t make much either. She didn’t plan to make it into a round pancake. Instead, she planned to cut it into small pieces when it was still soft after pulling it out. It would be as easier to eat that way.

Seeing Sifu and Erfu pulling more and more things out of the small handful in their hands, Xue Wufu couldn’t help but get excited and shout, “Look at that!”

Xue Dafu and the others were also stunned.

“That’s a lot… ” Li Hehua and Yu Hongyan could not help but exclaim.

“Jiang Yue, when will it be ready?” Xue Erfu asked.

“Just pull a few more times and it’ll be fine.” Jiang Yue said.

“Alright.” Xue Erfu and Xue Sifu pulled a few more times.

There was already a new anvil on the table. It was quite big, and there was no problem rolling noodles on it. It was made by Xue Yifu, and he had taken quite a few days to complete it. The old anvil was not completely broken, so Liu Guixia and the others were reluctant to change it. However, they took it out today and washed it especially clean.

It had also been dried and had no water stains.

Jiang Yue poured the rice flour stir-fried by Li Hehua onto the new anvil, then had Xue Erfu and Xue Sifu place the stretched caramel on the rice flour.

Afraid that everyone would think that she was a child and could not hold the knife well, Jiang Yue asked Li Hehua to quickly cut the candy into small pieces while it was still soft.

Li Hehua had already washed her hands, but she was still afraid that her hands were not clean, so she quickly washed them again. After she wiped them dry, she came back to cut them.

At this time, Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao arrived with Xue Gouzi, who had refused to come prior.

Seeing Xue Gouzi, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other. Because Xue Gouzi was weak and afraid, the two of them had originally planned to secretly give him the candy, but now that they were here, they couldn’t do so.

Xue Xiaobao and Xue Dabao pulled Xue Gouzi into the courtyard and said happily, “Great-grandfather asked us to come. Gouzi was afraid and didn’t dare to come, so he asked us to bring him here instead. I heard him say that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan are going to give us candy. Is that true?”
