Because there is still some time before Saturday, and the wheat seedlings that Jiang Yu had asked Jiang Yunfan to take care of are growing well and have grown to 4-5cm. The amylase content is the highest at this time, so Jiang Yu decided to take advantage of this time to prepare the maltose. He can't ignore his future livelihood for the sake of Zha Zha.
So they rolled up their sleeves and worked hard. When Jiang Yunfan and his brother knew that Jiang Yu was going to make malt sugar, they were so excited that they kept circling around her, especially Jiang Yunzhou. He even ignored his latest favorite Xiao Si and stuck to Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu put the soaked glutinous rice into the pot and cooked it with a little more water than usual. She asked Jiang Yunfan to watch the heat and put it aside after the glutinous rice was cooked. He would let her know when it was warm but not hot to the touch.
Taking advantage of this gap, Jiang Yu pulled up the malt by the roots and washed it carefully, about 5 times, especially cleaning the slippery roots completely and then chopping them directly into pieces, the smaller the better.
Finally, pour the malt into the glutinous rice and stir evenly. Cover with gauze to keep warm and ferment for half a day.
After working for a long time and not even starting to boil the malt sugar, the little guy Jiang Yunzhou couldn't stand the boredom after lunch and started to make a mess with Wei Zhuzhu who came over to play.
Seeing the little ones making a mess, Jiang Yu smiled indulgently and then continued with the morning's work.
Use gauze to filter out the juice (after fermentation, the juice has become sweet at this time). In order to save time, Jiang Yu used all the big pots in the house, and then asked Jiang Yunfan to light the fire and boil the pot. Pour the filtered juice into the pot and boil it over high heat. After small bubbles appear, turn to low heat and stir constantly. When the shovel is covered with a flag and no longer drips, the malt sugar is ready.
While I was doing this, the two little ones playing outside stretched their necks to look towards the kitchen.
Finally, they couldn't resist the fragrance and all came running over.
What does it smell like?
Why does it smell so good!
Zhuzhu smelled the sweet smell just outside, and her mouth was watering with greed. She said in a baby voice, "Beautiful sister, what are you doing? It smells so good and sweet."
The little guy has curly hair, big eyes, and a greedy look. He is so cute.
Jiang Yu was a little touched by her cuteness and raised her hand to touch the little girl's head.
Jiang Yunzhou, who was bickering with Jiang Yunfan on the side, came over when he saw this, and calmly pushed Wei Zhuzhu away, standing between her and Jiang Yu.
Then, like a little koala, she clung to Jiang Yu's legs tightly, to prevent the little friends around her from approaching her sister and stealing her attention.
Jiang Yu was so happy to see this that she ruffled Jiang Yunzhou's hair and said with a smile, "Sister is making malt sugar. I'll give it to you when it's ready."
As she was talking, the malt sugar had already been boiled. She packed it while it was hot because it would become more viscous after cooling.
Jiang Yu had an idea and left a small portion to continue boiling until it could solidify when touched with water. He poured it onto the chopping board and began to pull it quickly when it was no longer hot (the speed had to be fast, otherwise it would easily solidify into a translucent glass). After folding and pulling it N times, the malt sugar slowly changed from metallic luster to off-white. Then he cut it into small pieces of sugar and finally sprinkled some cooked soybean powder to prevent it from sticking.
She tried a small piece herself first; it was light, crispy, and melted in her mouth.
tasty!
It tastes even better than the malt sugar I remember.
It turns out that natural raw materials are different, and the sugar made from them is purer and pollution-free.
Seeing this, the little guys nearby couldn't resist the temptation and stretched out their hands.

Soon it was Saturday afternoon.
Jiang Yu handed Jiang Yunzhou over to the Wei family to help take care of him, and then took Jiang Yunfan out.
They first went to the post office and called Ma Mei's husband's workplace, saying that a house had collapsed and Ma Mei was trapped under the house when she passed by after get off work.
The person who answered the phone was shocked after hearing this. In a hurry, he did not ask who was calling. He just asked for the address of the collapsed house and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Jiang Yu and the others then rushed to the Duan family and waited there, putting the dry firewood and branches they had picked up aside.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
The sky gradually darkened.
The alley was so quiet that there was no sound at all.
Jiang Yunfan had several bites on his face, and he kept scratching at it. "Is that woman coming or not?"
Jiang Yu’s face was covered with bites last time, but this time with Jiang Yunfan by her side, the mosquitoes didn’t bite her anymore.
She glanced at the swelling on Jiang Yunfan's face and said sympathetically, "He should be here soon. Let's wait a little longer."
Ten minutes later, just when Jiang Yu suspected that Ma Mei might not come today, Ma Mei finally appeared.
Compared with last time, Ma Mei seemed to have dressed up specially. She wore a Dacron skirt and her waist twisted like a willow branch.
Ma Mei knocked on the wooden door a few times.
The adulterer quickly came out to open the door. Seeing her attire, his eyes lit up and he said, "Amei, you look really good today."
Ma Mei glanced at him coquettishly: "What are you talking about? Come in quickly. By the way, is Daya asleep?"
"She's asleep. She won't wake up later."
With that, the two of them went into the house.
Jiang Yu had even heard the sound of luxury cars, so naturally she had no feelings about their conversation.
But Jiang Yunfan on the side widened his eyes, as if all his three views on life had been overturned.
Jiang Yu pushed him and said, "Stop being in a daze, let's get moving."
Jiang Yunfan finally came to his senses and carried the firewood to Duan's house with Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yunfan climbed over the wall and jumped in. Jiang Yu handed him the dry firewood from outside.
Then she went around to the back of the house, and when she heard some sound from inside, she came back and signaled Jiang Yunfan to light the dry firewood.
Then, Jiang Yunfan climbed over the wall and jumped out of the yard, went to the back of the house, and held the wooden window at the back with both hands to prevent them from escaping through the back window later.
Jiang Yu ran out to the alley to call for help to put out the fire.
"Help, there's a house on fire!"
"Hurry up and put out the fire, a family's yard is on fire!"
It's almost a season change and the weather is dry. Once a fire breaks out in the house, it can easily spread to other places.
So when everyone heard the fire, they rushed out of their homes with buckets of water to put out the fire.
Jiang Yu led the way for them and brought them to the door of Duan's house accurately.
Everyone saw that there was indeed a fire in the yard. Although it had not yet burned the house, if it was not put out, it would soon spread and harm the houses next door.
Everyone was about to knock on the door when Jiang Yu stopped them: "Stop knocking! Something must have happened to the people inside. I called out many times but no one came out. Hurry up and climb over the wall to break down the door and save them!"
No one doubted Jiang Yu's words. After all, she was the first to discover the fire, and she must have called the people in the house before calling everyone else.
So everyone gave up knocking on the door and jumped over the wall directly, opening the wooden door from the inside.
Two of the men ran over and knocked on the door.
With a "bang"!
The two people who were having sex inside were shocked.
