Two or three days later, news spread throughout the military dependents' area that a wedding would be held in the military auditorium in a few days.
It was a Saturday, which happened to be the day the military dependents' quarters screened a movie once a month.
Zhou Qiqi, wearing a floral apron, was busy in the kitchen.
There were three enamel basins next to the stove, filled with cooked caramel, condensed milk, and finely crushed fruit candies.
Previously, she only made regular caramel popcorn.
First, cook a layer of amber-colored caramel, then sprinkle in the popped corn, stir well, and at most coat it with a layer of condensed milk.
It's crispy and sweet, and it's already delicious on its own.
But knowing that Xiangyang loved to eat, she came up with some new recipes.
I crushed the fruit candies that no one usually likes to eat with a rolling pin. After the popcorn was coated with condensed milk, I sprinkled a layer of crushed sugar on top before the condensed milk dried completely.
I made three flavors: orange segment candy, pineapple candy, and preserved plum candy.
It was just made, and before I even had a chance to taste it, Jiang Xiangyang, that little glutton, came running after it.
This guy doesn't care about anything at his own home, but when he came to Zhou Qiqi's house, he was quite polite. Afraid of getting dirty, he didn't go into the kitchen, but just leaned against the door frame, sniffing with his little nose.
"Aunt Zhou, what are you doing? Why does the air in your house smell so sweet?"
Zhou Qiqi was amused by his appearance and covered her mouth while laughing.
"You little mud monkey, your mouth gets so sweet when you talk about food?"
He then took out an enamel plate and scooped a handful of each of the three flavors of popcorn into it.
"Try them out! Which of these three flavors is the best? There's another pot left. Whichever you like, Auntie will make another one! This time, I guarantee you'll have a full stomach!"
"Long live Aunt Zhou!"
Jiang Xiangyang cheered and grabbed a handful of popcorn, stuffing it into his mouth.
"The orange one is delicious! The plum one is delicious too!"
With each bite, his eyes shone like stars.
But after trying every flavor, he was stumped.
"Both are delicious! I like them both, Aunt Zhou, I can't choose!"
The little guy's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Zhouzhou hasn't eaten yet, has she? I'll let Zhouzhou help me choose!"
Zhou Qiqi smiled, wiped her hands on her apron, and then filled another plate to the brim.
"Zhouzhou just came back from art class and is still drawing. She said she lost to a classmate in today's drawing, so they have to draw a portrait of each other! She should be almost finished by now, let's go take a look!"
As she spoke, she picked up the plate and walked into the house one after the other with Jiang Xiangyang.
