Chapter 86 Dust Settles (2)_1
Once the sesame seeds were fried to perfection, the maltose in the pot had also fully melted.
Mo Yan scooped out the fried salt, wrapped it in oiled paper, and set it aside for next time.
After cleaning and heating the pot until it was dry, Mo Yan poured the fried corn in with a third of the maltose and began to stir with chopsticks and a spatula. Only when the maltose and fried corn were evenly mixed did she begin to shape the candy figurines.
Shaping the candy was not difficult; just smaller than a fist would do. Xin Er found it fun and, after washing her hands with hot water, helped out. In the end, they used five jin of fried corn and ten jin of shade-dried millet with the maltose to make over twenty jin of candy figurines.
Looking at the big pile of golden corn candy figurines and the black-and-white shade-dried millet ones, Xin Er suddenly hugged Mo Yan and burst into tears.
