After the corn was distributed, the three ministers were very satisfied. They immediately thanked the emperor for his grace and left the palace to return home.
Before leaving, they did not forget to pack up. In addition to the corn and sweet potatoes that they had collected earlier, they also packed the corn candy that Logan Yang had presented to them.
The hard candy is two fingers wide and half a finger long. It is made of sweet and sticky corn kernels, a mixture of crushed nuts and roasted sesame seeds, and is coated with honey-colored syrup. When you chew it in your mouth, it makes a crunching sound and is full of fragrance.
As soon as he took a bite, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up.
He counted the candies on the plate, wondering how many to give to the Queen, how many to send to the two palaces, and how much he could keep for himself.
