After racking his brains for some thought, under Jiang Susu's ardent expectations, Yunjing narrated the process of making maltose intermittently and said: "Learn to cultivate the land and the wheat will sprout... I hid it for fear of being beaten. I will learn while you are away."
When cooking, the stove is out of reach, so I cook in the yard. If I want to make it delicious, I put sprouted wheat in the rice. If it doesn’t taste good, I hide it, and then take it out and it will taste bad. I pour out the soup and cook it, and that’s it.
…”
His description is consistent with the confused state of a two-year-old child, and there is no logic at all.
To be honest, if Yunjing didn't know the production process, he wouldn't know what he was talking about even if he heard such a description.
As expected, after listening to his narration, Yunshan and Jiang Susu looked at each other and couldn't understand what Yun Jing was talking about.
"Wheat? Germinate? Cook? Hidden? It's all the same..." Yunshan looked confused, then looked at Jiang Susu and asked: "My dear, do you understand?"
Giving him a look like you thought I was a god, Jiang Susu shook her head and said: "I can understand everything Xiaojing said, but when I put it together, I don't know what he said. It's like candy in the jar."
Is the same thing really made as he said?"
Yunshan scratched his head, if you ask me, who should I ask?
The couple had no idea, so Jiang Susu had to ask Yun Jing again: "Xiao Jing, can you make it more clear?"
"That's it," Yunjing said with a tilt of his head and started to act stupid.
A child has no logic at all. If he explained it clearly at once, it would make people suspicious.
Fortunately, the production of maltose is not imminent. Now that we have samples, Yunjing estimates that his family will not give up asking, so he can just take his time. Furthermore, it is the busy farming season, and Yunjing does not want to distract his family with maltose.
During this busy period, when you have time, just describe the process of making maltose to them bit by bit.
They revealed it little by little every day and gradually perfected it. They came up with it by themselves, so that it would not make people suspicious.
Yunjing was pretending to be stupid, but Yunshan and Jiang Susu couldn't tell. They had no choice but to give him a beating, right?
"Then is this candy?" Yunshan glanced at Yunjing, who was cowardly in Jiang Susu's arms, and couldn't figure out the reason, so he looked at the maltose in the jar and scratched his head and said in confusion.
Giving Yun Jing a fearless look, Jiang Susu also looked over and said, "I'm not sure about this either. Why don't you find something to try?"
"I think it works. Let's not eat it yet. Let's try it with ants. I remember that ants like sugar the most. When I ate sugar after I was a child, I dropped some residue on the ground and attracted a large group of ants. Let's try to get some.
Ants, if possible, must be sugar. If the ants are fine after eating them, it proves that the thing Xiao Jing made is not a big problem. Then we will try it to confirm. What do you think, my dear?" Yunshan was confused.
He kept talking about this simple inspection method intermittently. It was difficult for him to think of this.
Jiang Susu had no idea and nodded: "Okay, give it a try."
So next, Yunshan broke off a piece of grass from the vegetable garden, put it into the jar and dipped it in some maltose. He looked around and saw an ant, so he threw the grass dipped in maltose in front of the ant.
Then the family of three stared at the ants with big eyes and small eyes.
Sugar is the most attractive thing to ants. After a while, the first ant that tasted sugar called a group...
"It should be right, it's probably sugar, and the ants are fine, maybe you can eat it." After confirming with the ants, Yunshan looked at the jar containing maltose and swallowed.
If it weren't for safety reasons and he was afraid that something would happen if he ate something Yun Jing made randomly, he would have tasted the maltose as soon as he smelled it.
Although Jiang Susu had little knowledge, as a woman, her mind was undoubtedly much more delicate than that of a man. She was still worried about tasting it immediately. After thinking about it, she suggested: "Why don't we get a bowl of water and put the sugar in the jar that is probably there?"
Put some of the food in the water and drink it, and just eat a little to taste it first. In this way, even if there is any problem, it won't be a big deal. What does the child's father think?"
"Okay." For safety reasons, Yunshan had no objection.
Then he went to find a bowl to get some sugar water...
After witnessing the entire operation of his parents, Yunjing couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He said they were being cautious, but they were reluctant to throw away the maltose they were unsure about whether they could eat it. He said they were greedy for sweets and were afraid of all kinds of temptations.
, which really vividly expresses the stinginess and caution of country people.
After all, they are not just poor country people.
Yunjing felt relieved and was happy to see them busy.
Soon Yunshan brought a bowl of water, then diluted some maltose from the jar with water, and finally took a small sip carefully.
Tasting the wonderful taste of sugar water, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"How is the child's father?" Jiang Susu asked expectantly.
Yunshan immediately put away his smile and frowned deliberately: "It's not that good, it's very bitter and tastes weird. I'll take another bite."
As he spoke, he took another sip.
"Is it really bitter? As for the child's father, you'd better not drink it. It would be bad if something goes wrong after eating it," Jiang Susu said tangledly.
Yunshan took another sip of sugar water and looked at her and said, "It's really bitter and not tasty at all. If you don't believe me, drink it and see."
With that said, he handed the bowl of sugar water to Jiang Susu.
Yun Jing rolled his eyes quietly. Although his father was uneducated and usually a bit dull, sometimes he was still a little flirtatious and a bit rustic...
Tsk, this is the only way Yunjing can describe his father.
"I won't eat it," Jiang Susu shook her head, obviously believing Yunshan's words and thinking it was really bitter.
Yunshan, who was holding back something bad, deliberately put the sugar water in Jiang Susu's mouth and said, "Oh, just take a bite, otherwise you think I lied to you."
"I don't... huh? Oh my, father, you're actually teasing me!" Jiang Susu, who didn't want to drink it at first, was suddenly given a sip by Yunshan. When she tasted the sweet taste of sugar water, she didn't know that she was being tricked, and she suddenly became angry.
I hit him on the chest, but he was not angry, and there was a smile in his eyes.
Seeing his parents' earthy flirting, Yunjing snickered in Jiang Susu's arms.
This kind of ordinary little happiness and sweetness is so good...
In life, there are so many surprises, there are so many oaths of love, companionship day after day, and occasional small happiness are the most stubborn attachments in life.
"It's so sweet." Jiang Susu pursed her lips and smiled softly, savoring the sweet taste of the sugar water.
Grinning, Yunshan handed the bowl to her again and said: "Susu, take another sip."
As if she was embarrassed by such an intimate address, Jiang Susu's cheeks turned slightly red and she said coquettishly, "The child is still here." After saying that, she couldn't help but take a sip of sugar water.
"Children know nothing." Yunshan glanced at Yunjing and shook his head. After Jiang Susu took a sip, he also took a sip.
There wasn't much in the bowl of sugar water, so they drank it one by one, and it quickly reached the bottom.
The sugar water is very sweet, but Yunjing thinks that her parents are too much. Have you considered my feelings? You two are even sweeter, so sweet that you will feel sick.
So Yunjing, who had eaten a lot of dog food, started to wreak havoc and shouted: "I want to drink too, I want to drink too"
"Okay, okay, Xiaojing will drink too," Jiang Susu immediately consoled her, took the bowl and gently brought it to Yunjing's mouth.
Yunjing took a small sip, not to mention, it was really sweet, sweet to the heart.
Is there anything in the world that makes people feel happier and sweeter than having a smile on their parents’ faces? Maybe, but there is nothing here in Yunjing that can’t compare...
