Chapter 43 Care
After listening to Jiang Zhiluo's words, Mrs. Cui felt a sore feeling in her heart, which was both touching and heartwarming.
This daughter-in-law is so kind, as considerate as a little cotton-padded jacket. Not only does she treat Cui Hejin with care, but she is also kind to her.
Mrs. Cui choked slightly and said: "Zhiluo, don't work too hard. You have worked hard inside and outside the house, so you have to take good care of yourself."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled softly and said, "Mom, don't worry, I won't be tired. If I do something every day, I will still feel very fulfilled."
The busyness of doing this every day is incomparable to the busyness of the organization in my previous life.
Mrs. Cui knew that Jiang Zhiluo was trying to comfort her, "Don't worry, I can do a lot of things when my health is better."
When she was in good health, Mrs. Cui was also a very capable person. At that time, she managed the entire Cui Mansion in an orderly manner.
In fact, Jiang Zhiluo didn't want Mrs. Cui to be tired.
But Mrs. Cui also felt sorry for her.
In this life, it's great that she can get along with Cui Hejin's mother like mother and daughter.
In that ancient life, his mother died early, which became a pain in his heart.
Jiang Zhiluo cooked the medicine while talking with Mrs. Cui. After the medicine was boiled, she poured it for Mrs. Cui to drink.
Another jar of medicine was poured into a bowl. She entered the room and handed it to Cui Hejin and said, "Drink the medicine first."
Cui Hejin stretched out his hand as white as snow and took the bowl.
Jiang Zhiluo felt that her finger accidentally touched the tip of Cui Hejin's finger. In an instant, a cool and numb feeling rushed to her heart through her fingers.
Jiang Zhiluo's ears felt hot and she coughed, "Cough...cough..."
I almost lost my breath and choked.
Cui Hejin's poetic eyes fell on her, and his voice was as elegant and gentle as moonlight, but it was tainted with a trace of unnoticeable worry, "But what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Zhiluo was stunned when Cui Hejin asked her this question.
She looked at him. His slender fingers held the medicine bowl in his hand, and his eyes lingered on her. There was a trace of tenderness in his pure expression, which made people's hearts ripple with light warmth.
She thought it must be her imagination.
Jiang Zhiluo calmed down, shook her head and said, "I'm fine. You drink the medicine first."
After saying that, Jiang Zhiluo hurriedly left the room.
She looked at her fingertips and felt helpless, "He has such a great influence on me!"
After Mrs. Cui drank the medicine, she saw Jiang Zhiluo standing aside and looking a little distracted. She asked worriedly: "Zhiluo, why don't you go back to the house and have a rest? If you have any work, tell mother and she will do it."
"
Mrs. Cui felt that Zhiluo must have been tired from taking care of Hejin last night without rest.
Listening to Mrs. Cui's voice, Jiang Zhiluo suddenly came back to her senses and said: "Ah, Mom, I'm not sleepy. I was just thinking that after the glutinous rice and malt are fermented, I can make maltose."
When Mrs. Cui heard this, she was also very excited and said: "Mom, I will do it with you."
I don’t know why, but her favorite thing to do now is to make things with Zhiluo. This process makes people full of expectations.
She also looks forward to making maltose with her own hands.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Mrs. Cui's expression and said with a smile: "Okay."
Jiang Zhiluo also smelled the fragrance of malt at this moment. She opened the lid of the pot and found that water was already coming out of it.
Mrs. Cui came over to take a look and thought it was amazing, "It smells sweet and sweet. It smells very good."
“I never thought that glutinous rice and malt could be used to make maltose.”
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Actually, the method is simple. With such a big pot, we can make a lot of maltose."
When Mrs. Cui heard what Jiang Zhiluo said about fermentation, she asked curiously: "Is this fermentation done?"
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said: "Well, it usually takes one and a half hours to ferment. This will be just right."
Jiang Zhiluo pressed it in with a spoon, and the rich juice came out.
"Zhiluo, what should we do next?"
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mom, we need clean gauze to filter these and filter out the water."
Now that Mrs. Cui heard Jiang Zhiluo talking about filtering, she understood what it meant.
My daughter-in-law sometimes says some new words, but I don’t understand them at first. After a while, she will understand what they mean.
Mrs. Cui went to get clean gauze and a large basin for filtering.
After getting everything, Jiang Zhiluo scooped the fermented glutinous rice malt onto the gauze, and filtered the wort water from the gauze.
"It's slower this way. I'll squeeze it with my hands."
Mrs. Cui had already washed her hands very clean, so she put on gauze and squeezed them gently.
Shen Yueyao also helped. After all the juice was filtered into the big basin, the residue could be removed.
"Mom, we don't need these scum anymore, they can be dumped."
Mrs. Cui was a little reluctant and said: "These can be given to the chickens."
Shen Yueyao was stunned for a moment. Yes, these can be used to feed chickens. "It really can't be wasted."
Based on the situation at Cui's house, we can save a little bit.
"Mom, all this needs to be filtered out of the pot."
"Okay, filter it all out, and you should be able to make a lot of maltose."
Shen Yueyao nodded and said: "Well, we can make a lot. When the time comes, cut it into small pieces and hold it up with oil paper, and it will be a piece of candy."
Mrs. Cui said: "When I went to the town market to sell eggs, the stalls selling snacks and candies were the most crowded."
"Children all like to eat something sweet. For parents, they are frugal and reluctant to buy anything. A penny can be broken into two halves and spent, but children like candy. People are still willing to buy things like candied haws sometimes."
"People in the village may have gone to the market and walked around but didn't buy anything, so they just bought a piece of candy for their children."
"During the Chinese New Year last year, Shan Mao from next door was playing with a group of children at the door with a piece of malt candy. He couldn't bear to eat it and just licked it, making a lot of children cry and scream with greed."
At that time, Mrs. Cui was at home and heard the crying of children outside. It was so loud.
In the past, in the capital, Mrs. Cui might not be able to understand if others told her.
But after living in the village for a year and seeing with her own eyes the living conditions of everyone in the village, Mrs. Cui understood everything.
Shen Yueyao could imagine such a scene.
When I think about my younger brothers and sisters, I feel a little sad, and I wonder how my father is doing at making bellows.
"Mom, our village is very close to the town. There is a pier over there. It is very lively with people coming and going. No one has thought about making some snacks or anything."
Mrs. Cui shook her head and said: "How can people in the village do this? Everyone in the village is reluctant to use white flour for their daily meals, and they only eat half full. They are not willing to waste white flour, meat and vegetables to study and eat."
"Either the craft is passed down from family to family, or you can learn it as an apprentice."
"I heard someone say that being an apprentice is very hard. All you have to do is chores, and the master may not be willing to teach you. So even if you study for a few years and work in vain, you may not be able to learn anything."
"Even though I've eaten a lot of food before, I couldn't do it even if I was asked to do it."
The most she could do was give Zhi Luo some help.
But seeing how Zhi Luo could do anything with her hands, Mrs. Cui felt that she was really powerful.
