Without any delay, Li Hehua continue to work on as she reply to Cao Simei. After the oil was hot for six minutes, she put the apples in the pan to fry.

Sugar and water was then mixed in a pot to make a syrup and was boiled until the big bubbles turned in small bubbles and thickened. She then asked Cao Simei to turn off the heat and went to do the last step. She put the apples in the pot, added an appropriate amount of sesame and mix it all well. With that, the candied apple fritters is ready.

Li Hehua transfer the candied apples into two percelain bowls, one for the little guy and the others for Master Gu tomorrow.

Li Hehua deliberately calculated the amount and after the two bowls was done, there was still a lot of it left in the pot, which is especially prepared for the three children of the He family.

Li Hehua brought the pot to the main room and called out for the children to eat.

Hearing her call, the three children came rushing from all directions, faster that rabbits. Looking at the thing on Li Hehua's hands, their eyes lit up.

"Aunt Hehua, what delicious food are you making again? It is so fragrant."

Li Hehua put the bowl on the table, "This is a new dish called Basi pingguo. You guys can try it."

Xiao San'er looked at the crystal clear apple slices in the bowl, swallowed, and asked her, "Aunt Hehua, why is called Basi pingguo ah?"

(T/N: So Xiao San was actually asking why is it called silk apple. The chinese name of the dish has the character of silk on it.)

Li Hehua didn't explain and just picked up a piece of apple with chopsticks. She pulled it up and pulled our a long silk-like thread, which caused the children to "wow" in excitement. They then all picked up their own chopsticks and tried it.

The children praised as they play. Cao Simei then tapped on the table, "You guys, don't play with it anymore. Eat it quickly."

The childten giggled and put the apples into their mouths.

Da Ya narrowed her eyes, "Aunt Hehua, this is delicious."

Da He followed, "It is more delicious than eating apples directly. I didn't expect for apples to be cooked and eaten."

Xiao San'er are usually the one who talks the most, but now, he doesn't even speak anymore and just keeps on eating.

Cao Simei saw them eating so happily and was more reluctant to think that Li Hehua was going to leave.

Li Hehua took Cao Simei's hand and patted it, silently comforting her.

The next day, Li Hehua brought pastries and the especially made candied apples to the town. It didn't take long for gmher to see Master Gu coming, followed by a woman in her fifties.

Li Hehua similed and said hello, "Master Gu, you're here."

Gu Zhijin still smiled warmly and said, "Boss, please still pack four pieces of each item and two tanghulu. As for..." the words to followed stops.

Li Hehua understood, she bent down and took out a bowl of candied apples from the basket and handed it to him. "This is the Basi pingguo that I made."

Gu Zhijin had never heard of Basi pingguo before, so he was very curious and stared at the contents in the bowl. After a few glances, he retracted his gaze, tooked the bowl and asked, "Boss, can I use this bowl?"

Li Hehua nodded, "This can only be served in a bowl. You can take it back first and just give it to me when you buy something next time." She believed that a master would not covet her bowl.
