The Sweet Rice Cracker made by Yuan Zhou was exactly the same kind which he had eaten in his childhood. It had no other ingredients, only rice and sugar. Of course, they also added some peanuts or sesame seeds inside sometimes formerly, but most of the time they didn't.
Yuan Zhou pressed down the Sweet Rice Cracker gently and easily cut it with the bamboo knife into pieces. Every piece was about finger-width thick and finger-length long, a perfect size to enter the mouth. Yuan Zhou took out a white plate and placed 8 pieces of the Sweet Rice Cracker in it before carrying the plate to Jiang Changxi.
"Here's your Sweet Rice Cracker," Yuan Zhou signaled to her that it was available to eat now.
The Sweet Rice Cracker was most delicious at that moment. It had just been thoroughly cooled, bringing along with it the sweetness of the sugar liquid and the crispness of the popped rice grains.
