Chapter 175 Soaking wheat

"Is it delicious?" Xue Sihu looked at them expectantly.

"Yes." Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded.

"It's better to be fried." Xue Sihu smiled. "I'll take you to the town one day and let you eat the fried ones. Okay, you can eat it well, I'll go to my grandfather's place and give this to you.

My grandfather sent him there and happened to see him. I haven’t seen him for a long time.”

As he said that, Xue Sihu took the paper bag that was placed aside and was about to go to Old Man Xue's place, but without taking two steps, he turned around and shouted to Xue Dafu: "Dad, before I come back, I went to my third brother's place to take a look.

, the third brother said that he would not come back for the time being, and it would probably take more than half a month to come back."

Xue Dafu: "Okay, I understand."

Two small stools were placed in the corridor at the door of the main hall, and Li Hehua asked Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to sit on the small stool and continue eating chicken legs. The others started to work on their own things again.

Everyone was very happy. Of course, it was because Li Hehua only used food to supplement her.

While eating chicken legs slowly, Xue Yan looked at the cloth bag placed on the table in the main hall. The cloth bag contained three things, glutinous rice, wheat and rice flour.

Then, he looked at Jiang Yue: "How to make this malt sugar? Tell me?"

Jiang Yue said it briefly.

Probably, let the wheat sprout, then steam and cook glutinous rice, then mix the chopped malt and glutinous rice together to ferment, then filter, and then boil, and finally pull the boiled sugar. When it is pulled, air will enter, and then malt sugar will be

It will turn white, getting harder and harder, and become the kind of white malt sugar that is broken and sold in the town.

Xue Yan understood as soon as he heard it.

I knew that the first step was to let the wheat sprout, and after soaking the wheat overnight, it would be easier to sprout, so I saw him say, "Then we will go and soak the wheat after we finish eating."

Jiang Yue: "Yes."

After eating the chicken legs, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan took out part of the pound of wheat and put it in a big sea bowl. Then poured cold water into the big sea bowl and soaked the part of the wheat.

The other wheat will be collected, and it may be useful in the future.

"Let's find another sieve," said Jiang Yue. "Tomorrow morning we will spread the soaked wheat on the sieve and soak it in water two or three times a day. According to the current weather, it is estimated that it will sprout in three or four days.

.Use buds, don’t let the germination of real leaves. This sugar is also called maltose, which means this.”

Xue Yan nodded.

There is a round sieve for sifting debris at home, which is wooden. This can sifte the debris in rapeseed or sesame seeds. The holes are not big, just right.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan took a sieve and set it aside for later use.

At this time, Xue Erhu and Xue Wuhu who went to the field to sprinkle wood ash were back. The wood ash could prevent and control pests and be used as fertilizer. They heard that Li Hehua could only use food to replenish her, and they were also very happy. They also heard that Xue Sihu was back, and Xue Wuhu immediately

So he ran to Old Man Xue to find his fourth brother. It wasn't okay to go by himself, so he even took Jiang Yue and Xue Yan.

They didn't come back until dinner.

It was Xue Erhu who called him back.

When Xue Erhu went there, he brought a bowl of vegetables. This dish was the leftover vegetables brought back by Xue Sihu, which also gave to Old Man Xue. Old Man Xue was so happy that he couldn't stop talking.

It’s not that there are delicious foods, but it’s just for the filial piety of the younger generations.

The next day, early in the morning, after washing up, Jiang Yue took the sieve and spread the soaked wheat flat in the sieve with Xue Yan.
