Chapter 175: soaked wheat

   Chapter 175 Dip the Wheat

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

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

   "Fried fresh is better." Xue Sihu said with a smile. "I'll take you to town someday, and let you eat freshly fried. Well, you eat it, I'll go to Grandpa's place and send this to Grandpa, just in time to see Grandpa, I'm all I haven't seen Grandpa for a long time."

Saying that, Xue Sihu took the paper bag that was put aside and was about to go to Old Man Xue, but without taking two steps, he turned back and shouted to Xue Dafu, "Father, before I come back, go to Third Brother's place to have a look. , the third brother said that he can't come back for the time being, and it is estimated that it will take more than half a month to come back."

  Xue Dafu: "Okay, I see."

   There were two small benches in the corridor at the entrance of the main room. Li Hehua let Jiang Yue and Xue Yan sit on the small benches and continued to eat chicken legs. The others started to do their own thing again.

   Everyone is happy. Naturally, it was because Li Hehua only used food supplements.

  Xue Yan slowly ate the chicken drumsticks while looking at the cloth bag on the table in the main room. The cloth bag contained three things, glutinous rice, wheat and rice flour.

   Then, he looked at Jiang Yue: "How to make this caramel, can you tell me?"

   Jiang Yue said it briefly.

Probably, first let the wheat germinate, then cook the glutinous rice, then mix the chopped malt and glutinous rice together to ferment, then filter, then boil, and finally pull the boiled sugar. It will turn white, and the more you pull, the harder it will become, the kind of white caramel that is broken and sold in town.

   Xue Yan understood as soon as he heard it.

   Knowing that the first step is to let the wheat germinate, and after soaking the wheat overnight, it will be easier to germinate. I saw him say: "Then we will go to soak the wheat after eating."

   Jiang Yue: "Hmm."

   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 this part of the wheat.

  The other wheat is put away, maybe it will be useful in the future.

   "Let's find another sieve." Jiang Yue said. "Tomorrow morning, we will spread the soaked wheat on the sieve, and sprinkle it with water two or three times a day. According to the current weather, it is estimated that it will be ready to germinate in three or four days. We use buds, don't let true leaves germinate. This sugar is also known as maltose, which is what it means."

  Xue Yan nodded.

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

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

At this time, Xue Erhu and Xue Wuhu, who went to the ground to spread grass and tree ash, came back. The grass and tree ash can prevent insect pests and can also be used as fertilizer. I heard that Li Hehua can be cured with only food supplements, and they were very happy. When I heard that Xue Sihu was back, Xue Wuhu immediately He ran to Old Man Xue to find his fourth brother. It's not enough to go by myself, so I took Jiang Yue and Xue Yan with them.

   They didn't come back until dinner.

   It was Xue Erhu who called back.

   When Xue Erhu went, he also brought a bowl of vegetables. This dish was the leftovers that Xue Sihu brought back, and it was also given to Old Man Xue.

   It’s not that there is delicious food, it’s still just for the filial piety of the younger generation.

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