The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 121 The King of Candied Haws

Logically speaking, Chen Jingle should choose a track that he likes and is good at.

The issue is……

He now likes and is good at a lot of things, and it seems like he can go in many directions, but none of them are unique.

It sounds a bit pretentious, but it's the truth.

Plus he doesn't like to show his face.

Having appeared in front of the camera twice before, he had experienced the feeling of being noticed and found that showing his face was not a good option.

He wasn't mentally prepared to be in the spotlight.

On the contrary, maintaining a certain sense of mystery will help arouse the audience's curiosity.

Considering that if he decided to go the self-media Vlog route, he would have to spend time learning and doing video editing, dubbing, etc., Chen Jingle thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't make up his mind.

"Do you want me to attract attention by brushing the edges?"

Thinking of this, Chen Jingle shuddered violently.

Well, let others make the extra money. He would rather take it slow and accumulate attention bit by bit through quality.

“I can only say that the person who invented morning tea + WWE is a genius!”

Looking at all his skills, the easiest one to monetize is cooking various kinds of delicious food, but making money from delicious food is too slow and tiring.

Moreover, without a license, it is easy to be reported, and you may not only fail to make any money, but also have to pay a fine of tens of thousands of yuan.

The most profitable things are calligraphy and painting. If you meet someone who likes and appreciates their works, you can sell them for tens of thousands of dollars each.

The disadvantage is that the customer base is unstable.

"Just post it on WeChat Moments first. Post some calligraphy and paintings to see if any boss would like them."

Chen Jingle thought for a long time and finally made a decision.

And if you only post pictures, you don’t have to spend time editing videos.

There are ways of playing for the general public and for the high-end, and you don't have to follow the same way as others.

His selling point is the quality of his work!
Thinking of this, he first compiled a collection of photos of several of his recent commercial works, simply added some BGM and posted it, which took no more than five minutes.

"Invest another 500 yuan in Doujia, targeting successful people over 30 years old who like calligraphy and painting!"

Chen Jingle seemed to see handfuls of red bills flying towards him.

Drooling~
Unfortunately, the system notification sound interrupted his fantasy.

【After-school reading time is over. Let’s stop here today. Smart kid Chen Jingle is already great. Next is sleep time. Sufficient sleep can ensure the growth and development of the body.】

It’s so annoying. Why didn’t you remind me earlier or later, but at this moment?

Chen Jingle was depressed.

Go to the toilet, flush it, and then go to sleep.

……

a new day.

The weather is nice today. When I got up in the morning, it was cool and refreshing, very comfortable.

It rained a little last night and the ground was slightly wet, but there were not many clouds in the sky. The weather forecast said that it would be sunny to cloudy today.

Chen Jingle first went out to the teachers' college for some exercise as usual.

After coming back from shopping, I was busy cleaning the house when Chen Qiyun came over with her books and homework.

Chen Jingle was surprised: "Don't you have class today?"

"Today is Saturday. We need it tomorrow." Chen Qiyun looked at him as if he was a fool.

Chen Jingle suddenly realized and frowned unhappily: "But tomorrow is Sunday!"

Chen Qiyun: "I have to make up for the holiday classes tomorrow."

"Oh, it's a National Day holiday, right?" Chen Jingle finally reacted.

I don't know which idiot invented the adjusted leave, but they kept adjusting it. They said they would have seven days off, but in reality they only had four or five days.

It's even more excessive like some other holidays. It was supposed to be a three-day holiday, but after the adjustment, there is only one day left.

Outrageous!

Chen Jingle waved his hand and let her do her homework.

After cleaning, take a shower, change into clean clothes, and prepare to start class.

I plan to learn some new subjects and skills today.

The new subject is the law that I studied last night. The main contents of study are "Public Security Punishment" and "Criminal Law".

For ordinary people, public security punishment actually has a wider scope of application, because many conflicts and disputes may not reach the criminal level. Familiarity with and mastering public security regulations can play a big role when help is needed.

At least it can avoid the situation where "the first lesson in society is to apply for a job" to a large extent.

The "Public Security Punishment" law alone has 119 articles and the entire text is more than 13700 words. It is easy to imagine that learning the law is indeed not easy.

Fortunately, Chen Jingle remembered it after reading it once.

But just remembering is not enough, one has to learn how to apply it, so he will compare each regulation and then try to analyze the relevant cases.

The Criminal Law is even more massive, with 452 articles and a total of more than 7.1 words.

Chen Jingle couldn't help but feel sympathy for the law students.

He sighed and said, "No wonder your hair is falling out so badly."

……

After the class was over, Chen Qiyun ran out.

"Brother Le~"

"uh-huh?"

"What do candied haws taste like?" Her eyes rolled around, unable to hide her thoughts.

Chen Jingle glanced at her calmly: "How should I know? I haven't eaten it."

Chen Qiyun was very happy when she heard this: "You haven't eaten it either? Then let's make candied haws!"

Chen Jingle did not refuse immediately: "Why do you suddenly want to eat candied haws?"

"I saw others say it's delicious, but I haven't tried it. I want to try it and see if it's really sour and sweet." Chen Qiyun smiled with a flattering expression.

Chen Jingle looked at her and said, "Children can't eat candy. Have you forgotten how your teeth got rotten before?"

"Oh, I don't eat it often, just this time." Chen Qiyun pouted.

It was so annoying. She had already forgotten about her rotten teeth, but now the horrible sound of the electric drill made her remember it again.

"Okay, just this time, and it won't happen again." Chen Jingle certainly wouldn't say that he wanted to eat it too.

"Great!"

The little emotion Chen Qiyun had just felt was instantly thrown out of the window.

"Let me see how you've done your homework first. After I've checked it, we'll make candied haws." Chen Jingle stretched out his hand.

"Oh~"

Chen Qiyun hurried back to her room to get her exercise book.

Chen Jingle did not break his promise.

After checking her homework, correcting a few wrong answers, explaining it to her in detail and making sure she had memorized it, I began to prepare the ingredients for making candied haws.

Chen Qiyun was very excited, she opened her eyes wide and stretched her neck to wait.

……

In fact, it is quite simple to make candied haws. You only need to prepare fruits, sugar and water.

Choose the fruit you like.

Chen Jingle happened to buy a lot of fruits in the morning, including seedless red grapes and Kyoho grapes, as well as pineapples.

If you don’t have a long bamboo stick, you have to use disposable chopsticks or toothpicks instead.

It is worth noting that after washing the fruits and skewering them, the moisture on the surface must be dried, otherwise the fruits will not be able to be coated with sugar.

Put sugar and water in a pot in a ratio of 2:1, bring to a boil over medium heat, then turn to low heat when white bubbles appear, and simmer until the sugar water turns into a glassy color.

You have to control the heat well, otherwise the caramel will taste bitter and the candied haws made that way will not taste good.

In addition, when coating the fruit with syrup, there is no need to immerse the fruit completely in the pot, otherwise the fruit will be scalded. Just roll it around in the foam on the surface.

Then quickly put it into the ice water bowl prepared nearby to cool. After it is solidified, knock on the porcelain bowl and it will make a crisp tinkling sound. If it does not stick to your teeth, it means it is made successfully!

If you want to eat candied haws with a smoothie texture, you can freeze the fruit first and then coat it with sugar.

Considering that it is not advisable to eat too much cold food even in summer, Chen Jingle only plans to make a small part with smoothie taste, and the rest are ordinary candied haws.

of course!

Although everything can be made into candied haws, candied haws with chili peppers, candied haws with king crab, etc. are a bit weird.

Even the people in the province couldn't accept Chen Jingle, a big eater.

Let Chen Qiyun help to string the grapes with disposable chopsticks, while Chen Jingle peels the pineapple and cuts it into pieces.

After stringing them all, he put a few bunches of seedless grapes into the freezer to make candied haws with a smoothie texture.

Only Chen Jingle can do the job of making syrup.

The fire can't be too big, otherwise the edges will get burnt.

It soon reached the color that Chen Jingle wanted. He took a chopstick and dipped it in the syrup and put it into the bowl of ice water next to him. After cooling, it did become crispy, which meant that it was cooked enough.

Then turn down the heat and make sure it will not go out, then decisively pick up the skewered fruit next to it and start coating it with sugar!

First wrap a bunch of Kyoho grapes.

After each grape skin is evenly coated with syrup, put it in water to cool, take it out, and tap it gently. It will indeed make a crisp sound.

"Here, here you go!"

Chen Jingle handed the prepared candied haws to Chen Qiyun.

Chen Qiyun took it and widened her eyes: "Ah? It's done already?"

"What else? It's actually a very simple thing." Chen Jingle smiled, "Try it first to see if it tastes good."

Chen Qiyun hesitated for two seconds, put the candied haws in her mouth and took a bite. The sugar coating on the surface was a bit hard, but it was indeed crispy, and inside was normal grapes. The taste of the two mixed together was indeed different from eating grapes alone.

So this is what candied haws taste like!!
Chen Qiyun was swaying from side to side with joy. She was eating while Chen Jingle was still working.

Wrap a bunch of seedless grapes, and then a piece of pineapple skewered on a toothpick.

Chen Qiyun hadn't finished her one skewer yet, and Chen Jingle had made several more skewers. She quickly sped up her work and finished this skewer of Kyoho so that she could try other flavors.

Chen Jingle turned his head and saw her eyes wide open, eager to try, so he asked with a smile: "Do you want to try it?"

"Can I, too?" Chen Qiyun was surprised.

"It's simple. Haven't you been watching for a long time?"

"Okay, I'll do it!"

Chen Jingle instructed from the side: "Just wrap it with the bubbles on the surface, don't put it into the syrup. Be careful not to get burned by the pot. OK, take it out and put it in water to cool down."

Chen Qiyun looked at her finished product excitedly.

Wuhu~really good!
It’s very simple. Who said that candied haws are difficult to make?

Small candied haws, easy to hold!

Seeing that all the fruit skewers in the fruit frame had turned into candied haws, Chen Jingle took out a few skewers frozen in the refrigerator and coated them with sugar as well.

Then he handed it to Chen Qiyun: "Try this."

"Is there any difference?" Chen Qiyun wondered.

Chen Jingle nodded: "It's a little different. The flesh inside tastes like smoothie."

Chen Qiyun took a bite out of curiosity and was immediately shocked.

Oh, it’s indeed different. This one seems sweeter!

I was immediately curious: "How did you make it have icy ice in it? So this is the real icy-tanghulu?"

"Just put it in the refrigerator beforehand. This is how people in the Northeast eat it. What we eat in the South is rock sugar-gourd." Chen Jingle chuckled.

Chen Qiyun looked at him with admiration: "Amazing, you can do all this! I want to call you the King of Candied Haws!!"

Tsk, you ignorant little brat, you have just reached where.

Chen Jingle's mouth corners slightly raised.

“By the way, can I take some to give to Chen Ziying, Chen Kexin and the others?” Chen Qiyun asked.

"casual."

Chen Jingle waved his hand generously.

Anyway, sugar and fruit are not very expensive things.

Good things should be shared between good friends.

Chen Qiyun was very happy. She not only shared the food with her friends, but also posted it on her Moments.

"Teacher Li, look at these candied haws my brother made for me. Are you jealous?"
