Maltose is also called maltose. The method is generally simple. After the wheat sprouts are found to be three to five centimeters, you can pick the sprouts and chop them into pieces. After soaking the glutinous rice, steam it and cool it to 40 or 50 degrees.

, mix it evenly with the chopped malt according to the proportion, then slowly simmer the juice over high heat, and wait for the water to evaporate. The thick gelatinous substance finally obtained is what you want.

If the weather is cool, you can take the caramel outdoors and freeze it. If you have a little leisure and time to spare, you can also sprinkle some white flour or starch to prevent it from sticking. Compared with sucrose or honey, the shelf life can be several years without losing flavor.

, you can use it as you go, and the consumption of the same sweetness is not that great, so it can be considered quite practical.

If you want to eat it, you can knock off the candy corners, or take it to a hot place, wait until it turns into gelatin, then roll it up with chopsticks and eat it, which is also a good snack.

For a more fancy way of eating, you can also get some chopped corn, peanuts, melon seeds, sesame seeds, etc., mix them together, and cut them into finger-length pieces, which will become a quite luxurious snack, whether it is on the plate for entertaining guests, or

It's very good to eat at home.

It is estimated that Shen Nong's power is really good. This whole pot of malt and glutinous rice started to produce juice in a short time. The color was slightly amber, and the sweet fragrance gradually spread in the air.

It looks quite gratifying.

"At this temperature, you two work harder, maybe we can cook it by dinner time." Upon seeing this, Lou Ning generously praised the two brothers Ma Yao and Ma Wei, and even touched their joints.

First, I filled a bowl of sugar juice for them, Mapei and Ma Fang to have a taste first.

After boiling the sugar juice, it was Lou Ning's job. After all, the little ones were not very strong and they were small. It was better for their adults to do this kind of work to vent their anger.

"I'll see if I can make two more snacks later and sell them together." Lou Ning thought about it and pounded the extra glutinous rice to make glutinous rice cakes, planning to dip them in malt sugar for a few kids to eat later.

"We still have five or six taels of silver..." Ma Fang was stuffed with gum. The rich, even sweetness with a hint of burnt wood was so sweet that it was so sweet that it could reach your heart.

She heard that her sister-in-law was still planning ways to make money at home, and she felt a little bitter when she thought that she had to do all the work in the fields alone.

"Sister-in-law, how about I take Ma Yao to do the work in the mountains? Then Ma Yao will go to the fields with you, so that it will be easier."

Lianchun can't do it all by himself.

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

"You are all still growing, so don't be so nervous." Lou Ning knew that it would be very difficult for these children to blindly accept sacrifices. But she knew better that everyone was already malnourished before, and they were in a miserable mood.

So from all aspects, it's okay for them to do easy things, but Lou Ning still doesn't want them to get involved in the parts that require too much labor.

Rest is to take a longer journey. Resting at the right time can help them get twice the result with half the effort in the future, and there is nothing wrong with that.

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

It takes a lot of odd jobs to support a family. Lou Ning knows that working in the fields, clearing wasteland and growing vegetables seems to be quite hard... although it is indeed hard work. The problem is that this is what everyone can see in name.

The 'cost'. In fact, if you calculate it, the time it really takes for children to do those small and trivial tasks is probably not much different from mine.

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

"You can ask Sanniang." Although Ma Fang has been to the city before, she always did it when she was very young and didn't understand the situation there at all.

But fortunately, the neighbors are nice people and know a lot about things. In addition, my husband is a police officer in the city, so the news can be spread in all directions, which can be regarded as a good channel.

"That's it, when the food is ready, I'll cook it for you. I'll take it and ask her, and I'll give her a bowl." Lou Ning nodded and started to put the boiled juice on a clean gauze...

..The cloth was cut from a piece of Ma Wei's old clothes. After cleaning it, and since there was no way to wear it for the horse, I simply cut it up and used it as a filter cloth.

The slightly yellowish and sweet-smelling liquid fell from the gauze and gathered into the pot, becoming a warm and happy puddle that made people look at it.

Then, stir it with a long spoon, and then stir it continuously with Lian Chun's hands to remove the excess water, and finally it turns into a light brown caramel with a hint of firewood aroma.

"Alas! This dregs can be mixed with some rice bran and fed to chickens and pigs." Lou Ning vaguely remembered that these dregs, which have the aroma of malt and glutinous rice, can improve the quality of meat and are quite nutritious after being fed to livestock.

It just so happens that they are busy now, and with such a source of feed, they don't have to spend too much effort preparing their food later.

After hearing this, several youngsters became very enthusiastic and immediately grabbed the job and went to try it on the livestock outside.

"Hey, why did you come to me just half a day later?" Qian Sanniang is a good worker, not only in farming, but also in housework.

The space in this yard is fully utilized. There are climbing frames everywhere. Some seedlings that were collected early in the winter were moved out as the weather warmed up. The vines are curled up on the climbing frames, which looks full of life.

The short-season vegetables in the field were tender and raw, and I swept them over with my mental energy. They were either green onions, ginger, and some peppers. I guess it won't be long before they are a good thing to save money.

"I made something. I thought my aunt could have a taste of it, so I brought it here." Lou Ning smiled and pushed the door into the house, and said to Qian Sanniang somewhat mysteriously, "A few

The little one was working hard at the front, so he made a snack."

In the basket there was a large bowl of caramel and heated glutinous rice cake. Although it didn't look like much, it was quite heavy in the hand.

"This thing..." Qian Sanniang is not an inexperienced person. To be honest, the Ma family can smell the smell of meat coming from next door every now and then. This is also because the head of the house often brings some good food when he comes back.

Rice, noodles, and meat were brought back to supplement the food for their mother and daughter.

Therefore, Qian Sanniang has probably tasted every good thing in this Xicheng.

However, there really is no food that can smell the sweet aroma from such a distance.

"Mother! It's delicious!" Qian Sanniang's daughter Cheng Wan is about the same age as Ma Pei, but she is fair and cute, with round eyes. She is already fluttering in her mother's arms, "Smells delicious!"

"Oh! You haven't even thanked Ma's sister-in-law yet, so how can you ask for food?" Qian Sanniang was blushing at her daughter's behavior, but she couldn't bear to scold her child, so she could only pull Cheng Wan away in embarrassment.

Thank you to Lianchun, "Hey... let's eat then?"

"Haha, third aunt, you borrowed food before!" Lou Ning has no resistance to children, not to mention Cheng Wan is more lively and has good manners, "You eat first and see if it's good
