Chapter 197 Auntie truly cares for Lin Han (2/2)

"Okay, I'll teach you then. It's actually very simple."

Qin Shuman and Lin Suqing peeled the peanuts they bought, washed them, and then put them in a winnowing basket to dry in the sun for a whole afternoon.

In the afternoon, the two sat in the yard chatting and picking peanuts.

After taking a nap at noon, Lin Han went downstairs and joined them.

However, neither of them let Lin Han do anything; they just let her sit down and rest.

“With your aunt and mother-in-law here, it’s not your turn to do anything. Sit down.”

Lin Han knew that her aunt was protecting her so that she could stay at the Gu family home and enjoy a life of leisure without having to do housework.

Qin Shuman thought so too; with her at home, the children didn't need to lift a finger.

Even if she can't work anymore in the future, isn't there still Gu Qizheng?

Girls' hands get ugly from doing housework.

"That's right, Hanhan, sit down in the chair and don't cause any trouble."

Lin Han was chased away by the two men, so she could only obediently sit down on the chair and chat with them.

After Qin Shuman and Lin Suqing finished selecting the peanuts, they put the selected peanuts into a hot, oil-free pan to dry them with the heat.

After roasting the peanuts until they were fragrant and crispy, Lin Suqing began to pour the maltose she had bought into the pot.

Use a spatula to evenly coat a large pot of peanuts with maltose, turn off the heat, pour the contents of the pot into a large iron plate, spread them out, and let them cool.

"Okay, once it cools down, you can take it out and cut it into small pieces. It's very simple."

If you prefer a different flavor, you can add a little salt and pepper, or other seasonings while stir-frying.

Qin Shuman studied it carefully and found that it didn't seem too difficult.

"Alright, I've basically learned how to make it. After we finish eating these, I'll go buy peanuts and make some more for Hanhan."

It definitely doesn't taste as good as my aunt's. Hers tastes like the food I had when I was little; nothing can compare.

Lin Han's mouth watered at the smell of peanut brittle, and she wished she could cut a piece and eat it right now.

Lin Suqing noticed her little gluttony and used a knife to cut a small piece from the side and handed it to Lin Han.

"Here, eat up, you little glutton whose mouth is practically watering."

Lin Han happily accepted the peanut candy. It had been a long time since she had eaten it. When she accompanied children from wealthy families to school, they would prepare peanut brittle for them.

However, Lin Han was too embarrassed to eat much. She would only eat when her host offered her some, and she wouldn't take the host's snacks at other times.

At that time, Lin Han was just a primary school student, and it was already quite impressive that she could resist the temptation.

But that family didn't treat her well. When the family's children didn't study hard, she would be scolded and even beaten along with them.

Later, the headmistress discovered the marks on her body and stopped her from accompanying her to school.

She never ate peanut brittle again after that.

Even after I found a job and had money, I never actively bought peanut brittle because the memories associated with it weren't pleasant.
