Chapter 20 (2/2)
The person who got especially scared was the person who shared a desk with Jian Yiling. She cried out, “Jian Yiling, don’t take things badly!”
Then, everyone heard a ‘crunch’ sound. The ‘knife’ that was put in Jian Yiling’s mouth broke.
Broke!
It actually broke, just like that!
It was evident that it wasn’t made out of metal.
Jian Yiling explained whilst licking the candy. “This is candy, it’s made out of granulated sugar, glucose, or malt sugar. After being mixed, simmered, pulled and blown, it can be made into the shape of a knife.”
Although this sugar knife looked especially sharp, it wouldn’t be able to cut anything.
What Jian Yiling was talking about was ‘sugar art’.
It was a must-have item in the international West Point compet.i.tion.
There were all sorts of flowers, animals, and characters that were made out of sugar. For Jian Yiling to use this art form to make a ‘scalpel’, was a first.
Although it looked simple to make a scalpel, the difficulty was definitely not low. It was necessary to mix the pigments into a metallic color and make sure that it did not appear transparent in a very thin state.
Jian Yiling picked up another ‘scalpel’ and smashed it onto the desk. The blade shattered in sugar pieces.
Everyone in the cla.s.s was in shock.
The one who was most in shock was Qiu Yizhen who went to look for the Head of Teaching.
They spent half a day on this and it was candy?
It was candy?! Edible sugar!?
At that moment, Qiu Yizhen thought that she was a joke.
The expression on the Head of Teaching’s face was ugly.
