Eat Zao sugar

Zao sugar is a kind of maltose, with very strong adhesion. If it is drawn into a long strip of candy, it is called "Guandong sugar", and if it is pulled into a flat round shape, it is called "sugar melon". In winter, put it outside the house. Because of the severe cold weather, the sugar melon solidifies firmly and has some tiny bubbles inside. It tastes crispy, sweet, fragrant andé…¥(su - crisp). Real Guandong sugar is extremely hard, it can't be broken when dropped, and must be split open with a kitchen knife when eaten. The material is very heavy and fine in texture. The taste is slightly sour, there are absolutely no air holes in the middle. Each piece weighs one or two liang (unit of weight), or four liang, and the price is also more expensive. Sugar melons are divided into two kinds: with sesame and without sesame. They are made into the shape of a sweet melon or a pumpkin with sugar, hollow in the center, and the skin is less than five minutes thick. Although they are different in size, the transaction is still calculated by weight. Large sugar melons weigh one or two jin (unit of weight). However, they are used as decoys, and few people buy them.
