Chapter 487 A filial and sensible girl
Making dragon candy takes a lot of time and it is tiring to do it alone, so the boss really doesn’t want to take Wang Xiaoxiao’s order.
But Wang Xiaoxiao didn't give up and continued to beg: "Boss, please make one for me. One of my grandmothers has a birthday today and she really wants to eat dragon candy. Please help me! How about this, if you need help, I can help you make it together? Please, please..."
Wang Xiaoxiao kept begging the boss, and the boss was not a heartless person, so he finally agreed to her request.
"Okay, I'll make one for you because you're so filial. But let's make it clear in advance that you have to help, otherwise I can't do it on my own."
Wang Xiaoxiao agreed readily.
"Okay boss, no problem."
So Wang Xiaoxiao followed the boss back and started making dragon candies.
First, put the maltose in a clean basin, then place it in a pot of hot water and let it melt slowly.
When it becomes soft, take it out, place it on the panel, and knead it continuously, just like kneading dough. After that, you need to stretch it into thin and long pieces with starch, roll it up, and continue to stretch it, just like pulling noodles.
This process of pulling, rolling, and pulling is repeated more than twenty times. If someone doesn't have any manual strength, he or she really can't do this job.
While the boss was pulling, Wang Xiaoxiao was helping on the side, passing things, etc.
The first step is completed, and the next step is the second step.
The second process is more complicated and difficult.
You need to pull and add fried rice noodles at the same time, and your hands cannot stop. It took nearly three hours to finally make the dragon beard candy that Wang Xiaoxiao wanted.
Wang Xiaoxiao exclaimed, she didn't expect that this small box of dragon beard candy was so difficult to make. No wonder the boss didn't need to make it just now.
This is indeed hard-earned money.
The boss packed the dragon's beard candy and handed it to Wang Xiaoxiao, "Little girl, this is the dragon's beard candy you asked for. Take it back and give it to your grandma. It's freshly baked and tastes even better..."
Wang Xiaoxiao took it and gave the boss five hundred yuan.
When the boss saw so much money, he said in panic: "Little girl, you gave too much money. It's just a box of dragon beard candy. It's not worth so much money."
Even if he bought it at twenty times the price he had initially agreed on, it would only be two hundred yuan, but now Wang Xiaoxiao gave him five hundred.
"Of course it's worth it, boss. You worked so hard to make it for me, how can it not be worth it? Thank you so much today for helping my grandma fulfill her wish. I'll leave first."
Before leaving, he bowed deeply to the boss to express his gratitude for his hard work today.
The boss looked at Wang Xiaoxiao's back as she left and whispered, "What a filial and sensible girl..."
Wang Xiaoxiao happily rushed to the nursing home with the dragon beard candy in her hand. Today was the 80th birthday of a grandmother named Zhang in the nursing home.
Wang Xiaoxiao is a very caring person, so she often visits lonely elderly people in nursing homes and chats with them.
Three days ago, before Grandma Zhang’s birthday, Wang Xiaoxiao asked her what gift she wanted. Grandma Zhang told her that she didn't want anything but a box of dragon beard candy.
Because dragon beard candy is a delicacy from her hometown, she hasn't eaten it for many years. So she wanted to have a bite on her birthday to express her longing for her hometown.
Wang Xiaoxiao agreed immediately and said that she would definitely bring her dragon beard candy on her birthday.
But Wang Xiaoxiao didn't know that handmade snacks like dragon's beard candy are rarely sold in Bincheng.
So these two days, she has been looking for this dragon beard candy in Bincheng, and also mobilized her friends to help her look for it.
Finally, her hard work paid off and she found it this afternoon, but there was only one left, and Ou Jiayi bought it first.
Fortunately, the owner of the dragon beard candy shop was a kind-hearted person and was willing to make a new one for her. That's why she was able to keep her promise and help Grandma Zhang fulfill her wish.
When Wang Xiaoxiao arrived at the nursing home, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
A nurse was relieved to see her coming.
"Xiaoxiao, you are finally here. Grandma Zhang and the others have been waiting for you."
"Sorry, I was delayed by something. Have grandma and the others eaten yet?"
"I have eaten the meal, but I am just waiting for you to eat the cake."
Wang Xiaoxiao walked in quickly, and when Grandma Zhang saw her, she immediately smiled.
"Xiaoxiao, you're finally here. Grandma thought you wouldn't come today."
Wang Xiaoxiao apologized, "I'm sorry, Grandma Zhang. I was delayed because of something, but since I promised you, I will definitely come. Grandma Zhang, I wish you good fortune and a long life."
"Okay, okay, it's good that you're here, it's good that you're here."
After Wang Xiaoxiao arrived, she sang the birthday song with the nursing home staff and other grandparents to wish Grandma Zhang a happy birthday.
After eating the cake, the other grandparents went back to their rooms to rest.
Wang Xiaoxiao accompanied Grandma Zhang back to her room and handed her the dragon beard candy that she had always wanted.
When Grandma Zhang saw these hometown snacks that she had thought about so much, she became excited for a moment.
Wang Xiaoxiao said, "Grandma Zhang, try it and see if it tastes good. But it's so late, you can only eat one, no more."
Grandma Zhang took one and tasted it, and it tasted exactly the same as the ones she had eaten before.
In an instant, tears of happiness flowed from the corners of my eyes.
Wang Xiaoxiao wiped the tears from her face with her hands and comforted her: "Grandma Zhang, don't be sad. If you like to eat it, I will buy it for you often in the future, okay?"
Grandma Zhang restrained her emotions and said, "Grandma Zhang is not sad, I just feel happy and joyful. I am very happy to have a good child like you to celebrate my birthday with me..."
In fact, Grandma Zhang also has children, but her children have all settled abroad.
After her husband passed away, they didn't want to take her to live abroad, so they sent her to a nursing home.
He always says he is busy with work and rarely comes back to see her. Even on her 80th birthday today, I didn't come back to celebrate with her. I just called her to express my condolences.
So over the years, she, who has both sons and daughters, has always felt particularly lonely.
It was not until Wang Xiaoxiao appeared that she felt a little warmth.
Wang Xiaoxiao visits them at the nursing home every month, buys them new clothes and delicious food, and tells them many interesting things happening outside.
It adds a bit of fun to their lonely lives.
