Tian An saw that the skewers were almost done, so he let them do whatever they wanted and make the sugar themselves. But before making the sugar, he fried some white sesame seeds in a dry pan.
"Chunxi, light a big fire first," Tian An ordered.
In a small iron pot, old rock sugar and water were placed in a 1:1 ratio and boiled together. Tian An carefully observed the syrup in the pot. When the sugar was completely dissolved and the simmered until large bubbles appeared, he asked Chun Xi to reduce the heat.
As time goes by, the syrup in the pot slowly turns into small bubbles. When it turns slightly yellow, Tian An dips it with chopsticks and clearly feels the stickiness. Then he dips a drop of it into the cold water prepared in advance and sees that the syrup immediately solidifies into a crispy sugar. This is the syrup that is ready.
"Okay, Chunxi, keep the heat on the lowest setting!" Tian An said, then took the cooked sesame seeds from the side and poured them in, stirring quickly until evenly mixed.

Tian An put the finished candied haws on the chopping board to wait for it to cool, then went on to make other things. By the time the chopping board was full of room, the candied haws in front were already ready.
Liu Dabian picked up the prepared candied haws and stuck them one by one on the straw target. After a while, the straw target was filled with red, green and yellow candied haws.
"Uncle Liu, you look like the man selling candied haws on the street in the county town." Xiaokang couldn't help laughing when he saw Uncle Liu holding a bunch of candied haws.
Everyone laughed, and Liu Da joined in the fun by shouting, "Selling candied haws, one penny a string!"
Chun Xi laughed and interrupted, "You're only selling such good candied haws for a penny a string, you're going to lose a lot of money!"
Liu Da was stunned, looked at the candied haws in his hand, and changed his words: "Tanghus, five cents a string! Miss Chunxi, please open a door!"
Chunxi's face suddenly turned red, causing everyone to laugh.
