chapter 0494.

Maltose, also known as malt sugar, is generally simple. After the wheat sprouts are sprouted, you can pick up the sprouts and chop them up after the sprouts are found three to five centimeters. When the glutinous rice is soaked and steamed, and when the glutinous rice is cooled to 40 degrees, mix evenly with the malt crushed rice in the river according to the ratio, then heat it to slowly boil the juice, and wait until the water evaporates, and the final viscous gelatin is what you want.

If the weather is cold, you can take the malt sugar to the outdoors for free. If you have some leisure and extra energy, you can also sprinkle some white flour or starch to prevent sticking. Compared with sucrose or honey, the storage period can last for several years without changing the flavor and use it as you take it. The same sweetness consumption is not that high, which is quite practical.

If you want to eat it, you can knock down the candy corners, or take it to a hot place, and wait until it turns into gel shape again. It is also a very good snack to eat with chopsticks.

If you eat it with a more fancy way, you can also make some corn, peanut kernels, melon seeds, sesame seeds, etc., stir together and cut them into finger knots, which will become a very luxurious snack. Whether you are serving the dishes or eating at home, it will be very good.

It is estimated that Shennong's power is really good. The whole pot of malt and glutinous rice has started to produce juice in less than a long time. The color is a little amber, and the sweet fragrance gradually spreads in the air, which looks quite pleasant.

"Just this temperature, you two work harder. Maybe we can get out of the pot by dinner." Seeing this, Lou Ning praised Ma Yao and Ma Wei and his brothers, touched their heads, and served a bowl of sugar juice for them, Ma Pei and Ma Fang to taste it first.

After boiling out the sugar juice, Lou Ning's life was done. After all, the few small things were not very strong and they were small. It was better for them to do such an irritating job.

"Let me see if I can make two snacks, and I can sell them together." Lou Ning guessed, and then pounded the extra glutinous rice into glutinous rice cakes, and planned to dip malt sugar and give it to a few smaller ones later.

"We have five or six taels left..." Ma Fang was stuffed with candy. The richness, even with a little bit of burnt sweetness, was so sweet that it could make people's hearts.

She heard that her sister-in-law was still calculating the money-making channels at home, and thought that she had to do the work alone in the field, and felt a little sad.

"Sister-in-law, why don't I take Ma Yao to do the work in the mountains? Then Ma Wei and you go to the ground, so that it will be easier."

It’s impossible to let Lian Chun do it all alone.

In this way, what is the difference between marrying the Ma family and staying in the Lian family?

"You are all still growing up, don't be so nervous." Lou Ning knew that accepting the efforts would definitely be very painful for these children. But she knew better that everyone had been malnourished before and was very sad, so from all aspects, it was okay to do easy things for them, but it would cost too much labor, so Lou Ning still didn't want them to get involved.

Rest is to walk a longer road. The right time to rest can help them achieve twice the result with half the effort in the future, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"I can still hold on, and it's great if you help me take care of the garden. Ma Yao and Ma Pei will go up the mountain to cut pig grass, and then help me pick up eggs and feed chickens. That's enough."

Only a lot of bits of work can support a home. Lou Ning knows that it is quite hard to go to the field to work and cultivate land and grow vegetables... although it is really hard. The problem is that this is the "cost" that everyone can see in their reputation. In fact, if you calculate it, it really takes time for a child to do those bits of work, and it is probably not much different from himself.

"Is the sugar delicious?" Lou Ning didn't want Ma Fang to get into a stubborn position, so he simply asked her, "If we can be sure that there is no such thing in the city, we will probably be better in the future."

"You can ask Sanniang." Although Ma Fang had been to the city before, she was still very young and didn't know the situation there at all.

Fortunately, the neighbors are pretty good and know a lot. In addition, my husband is a constable in the city and the news is more well-connected, which is a good channel.

"That's it, when the things are ready, I'll take them to ask her and give her a bowl." Lou Ning nodded and began to give the juice to clean gauze... The cloth was cut into a piece of Ma Wei's old clothes. After washing it, it was impossible to wear it for Ma Pei, so I simply put it as a filter cloth.

The slightly yellowish liquid that emits a sweet fragrance falls from the gauze and gathers into the pot, becoming a puddle that makes people feel warm and happy when they look at it.

Then, stir the long spoon, and then stir continuously under Lian Chun's hands to remove the excess water, and finally turn into a light brown, with a little bit of wood-scented malt sugar.

"Oh! You can mix some rice bran to feed chickens and pigs." Lou Ning vaguely remembered that these slags with malt aroma and glutinous rice can improve the meat quality after feeding them to livestock, and are quite nutritious.

It just so happens that they are in a mess now. With such a feed source, they don’t have to spend too much effort to prepare their food when they go back.

Several young people suddenly became enthusiastic when they heard this, and immediately grabbed the life and tried it out for the livestock outside.

"Wow, why did you come to me after half a day?" Qian Sanniang is a good at working, not only reflected in farming, but also in doing housework.

The space in this yard is fully utilized, with climbing frames everywhere, some seedlings that were harvested early in winter were moved out due to the warming weather. The vines curled up on the climbing frame, and looked very business-filled.

The short-season vegetables in the field are tender and swept away the mental power. They are either onions or ginger, and some chili peppers. I guess it will be a good thing to save money in no time.

"I'm not cooking something. I thought that my aunt could taste something, so I'm here to deliver it." Lou Ning smiled and pushed the door into the room, and said to Qian Sanniang mysteriously, "I worked hard for a few small people in front of me, so I made a snack."

There is a bowl of malt sugar in the basket and hot glutinous rice cakes. Although it doesn't look much, the portions in your hand are not light.

"This thing..." Qian Sanniang was not the one who was unsavory. To be honest, the Ma family could smell the smell of meat next door every now and then. It was because the head of the family often brought some good grain, rice, flour, and meat to help them and their daughter.

So, Qian Sanniang has probably eaten anything good in this Xicheng.

But there is really no food that can smell sweet and fragrant from afar.

"Empress! It's delicious!" Qian Sanniang's daughter Cheng Wan is about the same age as Ma Pei, but she is white and cute, with her eyes rolling, and she is already thrusting in her own mother's arms, "Scent!"

"Oh! You haven't thanked the Ma family's sister-in-law yet, why can you get enough food?" Qian Sanniang blushed by her daughter's behavior, and she was reluctant to really scold the child. She could only pull Cheng Wan in embarrassment to thank Lian Chun, "Hi... Then we'll eat?"

"Haha, Aunt San, you borrowed food before!" Lou Ning had no resistance to the child, not to mention that Cheng Wan was just a little lively and was very polite. "You eat first. If it tastes delicious, you can make it evenly in the future."
