Chapter 30

Su He’s malt sugar is selling extremely well. She originally thought that few people would be willing to buy a roll of malt sugar for their children at one cent. But she underestimated the extent to which people in rural areas love their grandchildren and sons.

Basically, only boys can eat malt sugar, and they are reluctant to buy it for girls.

The older generation favors boys over girls. This is something that happens in every era, and Su He can do nothing about it.

“Auntie, can you help split our candies into two and give one to me and my sister?” At this time, a little boy walked to Su He’s stall and asked.

“Of course.”

Su He took out two wooden sticks and rolled up a little bit of each stick for the two kids.

Other sharp-eyed parents saw this and asked Su He to do the same.

Su He certainly had no objection to dividing it in two, but the sugar in two portions was a little less than that in one.

Seeing this, the auntie next to him couldn’t help but muttered, “How can it be divided? It’s a little less than if you buy it individually?”

Su He smiled and said, “The wooden stick also has a cost, so if you want to divide it into two, of course you have to take this part of the cost into account, so give less sugar.”

The auntie muttered, “How much can a wooden stick be worth?”, but finally agreed with Su He’s explanation.

The children in the village spread the word, and finally came to Su He’s cart to join in the fun.

Even if you can’t eat it, it’s okay to look at it.

Su He originally wanted to sell while shouting, but now there were already a lot of people gathered around.

Zhuangzhuang and the others heard that someone was selling malt sugar in the village, so Wu Yanhua was pulled over by her grandchildren. Then she was shocked to see Su He rolling malt sugar for people with a smile on his face.

“Grandma, is that my aunt? She sells malt sugar.” Zhuangzhuang said excitedly.

“It’s your aunt.” Wu Yanhua murmured.

“Grandma, I want to eat maltose.” Zhuangzhuang said while hugging Wu Yanhua’s legs.

“I want one too. I want one too.” At this time, Niu Niu, the eldest son of Fu Tinghua’s second brother, also said.

Wu Yanhua now has a total of five grandchildren, including her eldest son’s eldest daughter Daya and youngest son Zhuangzhuang; her second son’s eldest son Niu Niu and youngest daughter Yaya; and her third son’s son Shitou.

Except for Daya who is now attending primary school in the village, the other four children are taken care of by Wu Yanhua.

Su He heard their voices, looked up, and saw Wu Yanhua and four other kids standing not far away.

“Mom, you’re here? Come, I’ll get some candy for the kids.”

Su He finished giving candy to those who had already paid, and then rolled up a portion of maltose for each of the four kids brought by Wu Yanhua.

“Thank you, auntie.”

“Thank you, auntie.”

“Thank you, auntie.”

“Thank you, auntie.”

After getting the candies, the kids immediately thanked Su He one after another.

Su He made another portion of malt sugar, handed it to Wu Yanhua, and asked, “Mom, do you want to try it?”

Wu Yanhua looked at Su He with complicated eyes, and finally took the sugar.

“How much?” Wu Yanhua said as she took money out of her pocket.

“Mom, just take it and eat it. It’s free.” Su He said quickly.

“How can that be? The raw materials for your candy must be very expensive. You can’t do that without money.” Wu Yanhua said with a frown.

“Really, there’s no need. You just keep an eye on Zhuangzhuang and the others. They will run away soon.”

After Su He finished speaking, she made two malt candies and gave them to Zaizai and Niuniu, and then said, “It will taste better if you eat them with your brothers and sisters. Then go play with your brothers and sisters.”

When Wu Yanhua saw Su He asking the two children to go find other grandchildren to play, she thought Su He wanted her to help her look after the two children, so she didn’t insist on giving them money.

Everyone else looked at the kids who got maltose for free with envy, wondering why it wasn’t the candy made by their mothers.

When other people in the village saw that Su He and Wu Yanhua got along so well, they immediately dispelled the rumors that the two were not getting along.

Mrs. Liu also brought her grandson to buy malt sugar. When she saw that it was the sugar sold by Su He, her face changed. She took her grandson’s hand and turned to go home.

“Grandma, I want to eat, I want to eat candy” Her grandson was not happy. He had come all the way here, but now he wanted to turn back? It’s impossible to go back.

Seeing her grandson rolling on the ground asking for malt sugar, Mrs. Liu had no choice but to stuff a dime into her pocket and let her grandson buy it himself.

After her grandson took the money, he immediately ran excitedly to Su He and handed the money to buy maltose.

Su He smiled and rolled a roll of candy for him. He licked it and said to his grandmother in ecstasy, “So sweet and delicious.”

Mrs. Liu:…

Su He could not have imagined that the malt sugar he brought was sold out in just a quarter of an hour.

It seems that the consumption level of rural people is not low. However, this kind of candy is sold for the first time and everyone thinks it is new. If it is sold every day, it will definitely not be sold out.

Moreover, adults would want to buy candy for children occasionally, but it is impossible to buy it every day, so Su He plans to sell malt sugar only twice a week.

Su He packed up her things and some people who came to buy candy saw her and immediately came up to her and said, “Buy candy!”

Su He stopped what she was doing and replied, “Sorry, they are all sold out.”

“Sold out? So quickly? Will you still sell it tomorrow?” someone asked.

“If we don’t sell tomorrow, we’ll only sell twice a week, and then we’ll sell again the day after tomorrow.”

The day after tomorrow is the weekend, and the school kids will also be on holiday, so there will be more customers then.

“How come it’s gone? My grandson is waiting to eat it. He will definitely make a fuss later.” Someone muttered nearby.

“I’m sorry, if you come earlier the day after tomorrow, I’ll make more and there will definitely be more to buy.” Su He said with a smile.

Seeing that she spoke kindly and politely, everyone could not help but ask, “Wife Tinghua, who did you learn these skills from?”

This was a bit rude to ask. Skills are people’s livelihood. Can they tell you who they learned them from?

Su He didn’t seem to mind much, and replied with a smile: “I loved eating malt sugar when I was a child, so whenever I had time, I would think about how to make it, and I actually managed to make it.”

At this time, a child immediately replied: “The sugar is delicious, better than the ones in the city.”

“It’s delicious. Before I came out today, I was afraid that no one would buy it.”

Su He talked and laughed with everyone. When others saw her like this, they couldn’t help but sigh that the Fu family really had a good eye for people.

Su He doesn’t seem to be so fat now, and his behavior is generous and appropriate.

Wu Yanhua was also not far from the crowd, and her eyes were even more complicated when she looked at Su He.

Why is it that the more we get along with Su He, the more I feel he has a different personality from the previous one?

In the past, she had the excuse that she didn’t like Su He because she was too domineering, but Su He’s personality has changed now, and her previous excuses are probably no longer effective.
