Chapter 85 Sprouted Wheat
However, to be honest, she really didn't want to get involved with the captain's family. She was familiar with the captain and didn't get along well with his family.
During the Chinese New Year, people have to reunite, and they feel uncomfortable with an outsider like her.
The Xiao family...
She's not bragging, she has been familiar with the place for a long time.
"Yes," Wen Ran blinked and said with a smile, "Uncle, I have already agreed with Aunt Xiao that I will spend the New Year at the Xiao family."
Seeing that the development of the matter was not unexpected, Xiao Chenye breathed a sigh of relief, and then he became like a fighting cock that had won a battle, arrogant and said, "Did you hear that, Uncle?"
Captain: “…”
He was so angry that his teeth itched. He raised his pipe and knocked him on the head, not too hard or too light. "You have no respect for your parents."
Xiao Chenye held his head, "Ah~ You can't compete with our family, so you are angry and embarrassed!"
The captain was really angry and humiliated this time, and scared Xiao Chenye so much that he grabbed Wen Ran and ran away.
It hurts when a pipe hits your head.
The two of them were running in front, looking full of youth. The team leader laughed along with them, saying, "It's great to be young."
His eyes passed through Xiao Chenye and Wen Ran, as if he was looking at himself when he was young.
Youyou sighed and said with emotion: "Time is really unforgiving."
In the blink of an eye, he has become an old man.
Well~ The harvest is good this year. I'll have to get some cold cream or something to apply on myself later. I didn't have the conditions when I was young, so it's not too late to make up for it now.
Thinking of his wife's joy at receiving the gift, the captain smiled.
The journey was quite smooth. The captain was worried all the way, but it was all in vain. Wen Ran was even happier.
The pigs were dead, so on the one hand she didn't have to cut grass for the pigs, but on the other hand she didn't do anything, she just strolled around all day and earned ten work points.
Hahahaha~
Make a fortune.
We are just ordinary people, and a little thing can make us happy all day long.
The team leader was also very happy. He held the money and things in his hand, and then looked at the pigs that the pig farm didn't want. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, our silly roe deer team has worked hard all year this year. Thank you for your hard work!"
His face was red, and his voice was about to break. "Go back this afternoon, heat up the oil in a pan, and stew the pork! Let's have a good New Year too!"
“Oh oh oh~”
The situation suddenly got out of control, and the young men who followed them instantly turned into monkeys on Mount Emei, howling.
When some are happy, others are sad.
The captain looked at the group of people with red eyes beside him, feeling indescribable discomfort in his heart.
A year's harvest, just like this...
Vanished into thin air.
Wen Ran also frowned and walked over to take a look.
Due to the rain and poor storage, many of them sprouted. Even if they didn't sprout, they had black mold spots on them. If we handed them in, no one would accept them.
"Wow, wow, I deserve to die. I feel so sorry for my fellow countrymen. It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so careless, this year, wow, wow..."
The man looked visibly haggard, his eyes filled with despair.
He really wanted to die.
"It's all your fault!"
There were voices of complaint among the crowd. Thinking about the approaching winter and the lack of food, they felt hopeless.
How can we survive without food?
They don't know.
Even if adults can bear it, what about children?
"I, I'll pay with my life!"
"What's the point of paying with your life?" The leader of the Antelope Brigade said with a wry smile, "If you die, we will still have to starve, the same as before."
He is not the kind of person who complains about everything. Things have come to this point and he can only think of ways to save the situation and make up for the losses as soon as possible.
Even if the situation cannot be saved, we have to find ways to store more food. Every household has relatives who can borrow some. As long as we don't starve to death and can survive this cold winter, we will definitely recover in three or two years.
As long as people are alive, there is hope. As for suffering...
Who didn’t grow up in bitter water?
"So you're going to let him go just like that?"
"Alright!" Captain Antelope was already annoyed, and now he was even more agitated, "Yes, it is true that he did not take good care of the situation, and then what?
You forced him to die? What you need to do now is to think of ways to complain blindly. If you force him to death, will you not be hungry? "
The sky at this time is like a child's face, changing at any time.
It was a sunny day one second, and the next second there was a strong wind and raindrops falling down like they were free.
He is responsible, but his crime does not deserve death.
“We tried our best.”
What Captain Antelope said was fair. Everyone was convinced and fell silent.
Wen Ran looked at the malt, thoughtfully.
When Xiao Chenye saw this, he felt upset. As they were also digging for food in the fields, he could empathize with them.
"Let's go."
Wen Ran shook his head and refused, "Wait a moment."
While the members of the Antelope Brigade were depressed, the brigade leader was the only one left there, frowning and thinking.
“Wait a minute,” Wen Ran thought for a moment, but couldn’t get over his conscience, so he said, “How much wheat do you have that has sprouted?
What are you going to do with the wheat?"
When they saw Wen Ran, the Antelope Brigade instantly focused their attention on him.
Captain Antelope saw that Wen Ran was beautiful and had delicate skin, and especially the way she dressed, she didn't look like someone who worked in the fields.
He thought it was a cadre from the commune, and hurriedly said, "It has sprouted, so we can't throw it away. Our brigade also raises a lot of chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, and we can use it as concentrated feed to feed them."
Sprouted wheat is really tender.
When you pinch it, your hands will be covered with green juice. When you smell it up close, it is full of fragrance.
They ate happily, and the captain felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
Wen Ran was dumbfounded, "Have you fed them all?"
"Ah? Not yet," said the antelope captain, who was also honest and simple-minded, "I didn't want to give it up. I was thinking of waiting until it grows longer before feeding it."
Wen Ran: “…”
This way of thinking is very cool.
"If there are no wheat seedlings, will the chickens and ducks starve to death?"
"No, there is feed."
That's it.
Wen Ran felt that her method could be boldly tried. "I have a way that can reduce your losses a little. It depends on whether you are willing to do it."
"What?!"
When these words came out, everyone was shocked. Captain Antelope was so excited that he wanted to kneel down to Wen Ran, "Then, what is the method?"
"Let me make it clear first, it may not work, and it's very tiring. Are you willing to try?"
"Yes! Yes!"
It's just a matter of putting in some effort. Even if it fails, the loss has already been made, so nothing else matters.
"Make maltose from sprouted wheat," Wen Ran had done this with the director's mother when she was in the orphanage. "Oh, and glutinous rice, do you have it?"
"Yes! My family harvested more than 30 kilograms this year."
"I have one at home, too."
As soon as these words were spoken, they received a lot of responses.
It will be easy if we have this thing.
"Making maltose requires a lot of glutinous rice, but at the same time, the price is also a bit higher. If we balance the two, we should be able to recover some of your losses."
In comparison, sugar is more valuable.
The best ratio of glutinous rice to wheat seedlings is 10:1. Of course, 5:1 is also OK. Just be careful with the temperature. If the temperature is too high, then the dish will be completely ruined.
Captain Antelope was full of gratitude. "Excuse me, which leader are you? We don't know how to make this maltose. This..."
"What leader?"
