Crushing Peanuts

We were visiting Hefeng Street in Hangzhou, when we came across this sweet stall. There were two fit young men, armed with wooden mallets smashing some sort of peanut sweet. Smash, bang, crash as the peanuts were crushed, and then the sweet was carved into neat squares. We did not buy any - but watched in fascination as they were made.

Sweet making in Wuzhen

We saw two men in different parts of Wuzhen making candy in the street. It was interesting to watch as they stretched the mixture over and over again to make the mixture shine, but I'm not sure I'd like to eat candy made in this way in a busy dusty street.
