When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 702 Maltose

As expected, Deok-sun was very happy after hearing this.

"Okay, but it will take some time. I don't have any money right now."

She took out her wallet, looking a little depressed.

……

At noon, the crew.

Li Renyong stretched lazily and said, "We have finished shooting this morning. Let's go eat."

Lee Chang-dong nodded and began to instruct the assistant director to arrange a lunch break.

Ma Richeng said, "Let's eat together at noon. Someone gave us some goodies. Would you like to try some?"

Li Renyong shook his head and said, "You guys eat, I have to go out for a while, so it's a good opportunity to eat outside."

I don’t know what happened to little Pearl.

If such a young child fell down the stairs, even if there were no visible injuries from the outside, the doctor would probably keep him in the hospital for a check-up.

Ma Richeng said, "Are you sure? French caviar, one portion for each of us."

"My neighbor fell down the stairs by accident. I have to go to the hospital."

Zheng Nanzhu said: "You are not injured."

"I'm not sure. We'll know only after we go to the hospital."

"You guys eat, Yong and I will go take a look."

"No, I can just go by myself."

In the end, Li Renyong went alone.

I found a restaurant outside and ordered an omelette rice.

After eating, I came across a maltose stall on the way to the hospital.

The stall is not big, it is a roadside stall, and it is arranged in an orderly manner.

An old but polished wooden table was covered with a layer of clean white cotton cloth.

There was a charcoal stove next to it, on which malt sugar was being boiled.

The boss was an old man wearing a blue cotton jacket that had been washed so much that it looked bleached, and a hat.

Li Ren bravely assured that this was the cleanest maltose stall he had ever seen.

At least it's much cleaner than when I went to Bukhansan before.

There were five children, both boys and girls, about six or seven years old, gathered around.

Their eyes were fixed on the maltose.

The little face was full of desire.

Li Renyong glanced into the pot and found that there was still half a pot left.

There are many ways to sell maltose.

For example, they can blow it into sugar figures and sell it, or they can just take a wooden stick and roll it up and sell it.

Another method is to use a fixed model and press it into the desired pattern.

Once it cools down, you can eat it.

In the Squid game, the sugar is pressed into the desired pattern using a mold.

"Boss, I want everything in the pot."

The old man looked up and said, "How many portions?"

Before Li Renyong could say anything, the children started crying.

The golden beans rolled down one by one like beads with broken strings, and the little face was filled with reluctance and sadness.

"Don't buy them all...we still want to eat."

"Bad uncle."

The children wiped their tears, as the people before them wanted to deprive them of the happiness in their hearts.

There was even a child who hugged his thighs, tilted his head back and said, "Uncle, let's just eat a little, really just a little."

This was a little girl who used her index finger and thumb to gesture to tell Li Renyong that she really just wanted to eat a little bit.

The boss smiled and said, "Kids, I've kept it for you a long time ago. Look what this is."

He quickly took out five bars of maltose from under the table and handed them to the children.

After the children received it, they bowed and said, "Thank you, Grandpa." They stopped crying. The tears stopped as if they had stopped. It was magical.

The boss waved his hand and said, "Go home and have dinner."

Several children ran home quickly, licking the maltose in their hands as they ran.

Li Renyong smiled and said, "Boss, you are a very nice person."

"As I get older, I like children. Their parents occasionally come to buy some candy. As time goes by, the children also like to play here, and I will give them some every time. Thank you, young man. If you hadn't taken care of it all, I would probably have to sell it here at noon."

"Don't you want to eat lunch?"

The boss took out two rice balls and said: "It's hard to make money, so just deal with it. I don't have any skills, so I can only sell some candies to make a little money."

He seems to be a miserable person, still working at such an old age.

"By the way, how many portions should the sugar in the pot be divided into?"

Li Renyong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Just use a mold to press it into the size of a basketball. My kids like the big ones."

"Row."

Soon, the maltose was ready.

Because the candy was very big, the boss specially found a wooden stick as long as chopsticks.

Li Renyong took the maltose and said, "Uncle, do you have a bag? It's hard for me to carry this."

"I have it here, wait a minute."

Li Renyong took the maltose and took a taxi to the hospital.

……

Inside the hospital.

Little Pearl lay quietly on the hospital bed, covered with a small quilt, with her eyes closed.

Jin Shanying sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes never leaving her for a moment.

Shanyu pushed the door open, looked at Zhenzhu and said, "Zhenzhu, are you okay?"

Jin Shanying said in a hoarse voice: "Zhenzhu is fine, don't worry."

Shanyu touched little Pearl's face and said distressedly: "It must be very uncomfortable. Is your head okay?"

Kim Sun-young said: "I took the photo and the doctor said it was fine, don't worry. I was a little frightened and fell asleep after taking the medicine."

After saying that, she sighed again.

Sun Woo stood up and sat next to Kim Sun Young, and asked with concern, "Mom, you must be pretty scared too."

Jin Shanying forced a smile and said, "A little, but it's okay. You must have been scared too."

"Yeah, but you're definitely more frightened than I am."

"It's all right now. Luckily, Ayong was there. Although he's young, he's very steady. I'll have to thank him when I get back."

To be honest, when Kim Sun-young saw Zhenzhu fall, she didn't know what to do.

In the yard, the mother and daughter huddled together.

If Li Renyong hadn't come in, she would have been really flustered.

There should be a mature and stable man at home.

Just then, Li Renyong pushed the door and walked in with a smile.

"Auntie Shanying, you don't have to thank me. You have helped our family before."

That was when I first moved to Seoul, and I needed to adapt to the environment and other things.

Sung Won-jung is not dead yet, and Kim Sun-young has indeed helped their family a lot.

Jin Shanying and Shanyu stood up and thanked her: "Auntie will cook a delicious meal for you later and invite you to eat."

Li Renyong's mouth twitched. Everyone in the alley knows that when you cook, you use a lot of salt.

He waved his hands and said, "No need, this is the maltose I bought for Pearl. Is she okay?"

Shanyu took the maltose, opened it and said with a smile: "Our Zhenzhu is so lucky, so many brothers love her."

Kim Sun-young said, "The doctor said there's nothing wrong."

Li Renyong walked to the bedside and found that Zhenzhu was already asleep, and his voice unconsciously became lower.

"You haven't eaten yet, right? I've already eaten. I'll take care of it for a while. Let's go eat. Where are President Jin and the others?"

Jin Shanying said: "President Jin has gone home, and Fenghuangtang is handling some matters outside."
