Chapter 71 Why do you want to sing a duet! (Seeking for collection)
"I don't know which ravine that guy is running into now..."

Originally, he thought that after getting in touch with the second girl Wang Yuzhu, Wang Yumei would write him a letter to express his views on building a beautiful countryside. Unexpectedly, half a month had passed, not to mention the letter, and not a single bird feather came. root!
This unreliable guy!

The sky is long and the clouds are flat at dusk. The golden rooster crows and the sun rises in the east.

After an unknown period of time, the eastern sky gradually turned white, and a red sun jumped out of the mountains, illuminating the land of ice and snow again.

Sun Jianping yawned, finally getting through this unforgettable night!

He stood up, the bones all over his body made a cracking sound, reached out to touch the still warm wooden barrel, pulled off the paper stuck on it, pressed it with a shovel, and the white flower juice came out!

With enough fermentation time and sufficient temperature, the yield of this barrel of maltose must be considerable!

Early in the morning, Lao Cao hurried over with a dung basket on his arm. When he saw Sun Jianping pouring the fermented mixture in the barrel into gauze and filtering it, he hurriedly dropped the basket and didn't bother to pick up his treasure. Shitdan, come and help.

"Uncle Cao, how much should we sell this thing for?"

The filtered juice went into the cauldron, bubbling and bubbling. Sun Jianping squatted in front of the stove pit, grabbed wood and stuffed it in, talking to Lao Cao.

Lao Cao picked up a piece of maltose that was frozen hard and took a bite. It was crunchy.

"Someone sold it a few years ago, and one as long as a finger cost five cents!" Lao Cao picked up the shovel, scraped off a piece of sticky sugar syrup, and pulled it, and the sugar threads were as thin as spider silk. Pulled out, it quickly condensed in the cold morning, and was blown off by the breeze, turning into thin threads that hung from the edge of the pot.

"Uncle Cao, do you think this can be used to make shredded sweet potatoes?" Sun Jianping washed the square plate, wiped the moisture inside with a torn rag, and handed it over and asked.

"Yes, why not!" Lao Cao was also greedy. He picked up a piece of maltose that had been frozen into thin threads and stuffed it into his mouth. He said vaguely, "If I can eat a bite of shredded sweet potato in these days, I would be so proud!"

"Okay, I'll make sweet potatoes for you to eat at noon!"

Zhang Ziyi's hearty laughter came from the distance. He was wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket owned by his wife and a dog-skin hat, and walked over with his hands in his sleeves. When Lao Cao saw him, he grinned, "I haven't seen you all night, you look like this." Dress up - I want to go to the publicity team to sing duet!"

"I'm going to sing a duet, how about you playing the strings?" Zhang Ziyi chuckled, earning an eye roll from Lao Cao, "With that said, I'm going to do it, come here and give me a hand!"

"Oh, this big pot has been boiling for a long time..."

Zhang Ziyi walked a few steps to the pot. Lao Cao took out all the maltose that had turned golden brown in the pot, smoothed it out little by little with a shovel, and set it aside to wait for cooling.

"Can it weigh ten kilograms now?" Zhang Ziyi asked Lao Cao as he plucked off the candy left on the side of the pot and threw it into his mouth.

"More than ten kilograms..." Lao Cao squinted and looked at the plate of maltose, "Jianping is a kid with a good brain. If this business had been done in earlier years, it would have been a huge profit..."

"What was there to talk about in the early years? We have already made a fortune!" Zhang Ziyi licked his fingers and shouted at Sun Jianping, "Jianping, go back and relax for a while. Your Uncle Cao and I will do the rest for you. !”

"Okay, you two get ready first, and I'll go feed the cows and horses!"

After saying that, he hurriedly ran to the team headquarters, and the two of them shook their heads. Fortunately, they were young people, and they were still so energetic after not sleeping all night!

Sun Jianping strictly followed the process, and used the remaining glutinous rice to boil twenty-three kilograms of maltose. After cooling, he cut it into small pieces and put it together with the ten kilograms that had been cooked previously, keeping it for later use.

As for the remaining four plates of wheat seedlings, after Zhang Ziyi reminded him, Sun Jianping steamed some cornmeal and mixed it with the wheat seedlings. It turned out to be converted into maltose, but the color was much different and not as sweet as those made with glutinous rice. "This thing made from corn is not too sweet, not serious." Lao Zhang scraped up some maltose made from corn, dipped it in cold water, took a lick and shook his head.

"That's also a good thing." Lao Cao took out the ten pounds of corn maltose he made and spread it on a square plate. "It would be better if it was mixed with some honey."

"You can pull it off, mix it with honey and eat candy. You think you are Empress Dowager Cixi!" Zhang Ziyi glared, and Lao Cao laughed and tugged on the floral cotton-padded jacket he was wearing, "Lafayette doesn't have it, but Li Lianying It’s ready-made…”

"Fuck you whistle..." Zhang Ziyi cursed with a smile, and the front of the mill was filled with a happy atmosphere.

A total of thirty-three kilograms of glutinous rice maltose and ten kilograms of corn maltose were harvested. Sun Jianping asked Lao Cao to distribute the corn maltose to the villagers, and cut the rest into small pieces for later use.

"In the past, the big idiot Fan in the village and his father, Old Fan Tou, knew how to make sugar melons, but that disappeared a few years ago, and no one knows how to make that stuff anymore."

Sitting on the Kang of Lao Cao's house, Zhang Ziyi grabbed his chopsticks and picked up a piece of steaming sweet potato. With a tug, several long and thin sugar strands floated in the air, making the two children's eyes widen. Slip round!
"Brother, what is this?"

Xiao Yueyue tugged on Sun Jianping's sleeves with a curious look on her face. She had never eaten such novel food in her entire life.

"This is called sweet potato, made with the sugar we made in the morning." Sun Jianping picked up a piece and pulled out long sugar strands, flying everywhere like a spider web, and said with a smile.

"I'll try it too!" Xiao Wuyue excitedly grasped the chopsticks and picked up a piece of sweet potato soaked in hot sugar. She pulled it up with her little hand, and the long sugar strands were pulled out and broke with a bang.

"Put it in cold water and soak it." Li Xiuzhi handed her daughter a bowl of cold water. The little girl put the sweet potato pieces into the cold water and took them out. She took a bite, narrowed her eyes in happiness, and nodded vigorously, "It's so delicious! "

"It's delicious, thanks to your brother Jianping!" Li Xiuzhi said with a smile.

Or if you are a scholar from the city, you can learn whatever you like and make whatever you do. Look at the maltose they make. It is sweet and sticky. It is much more delicious than what I bought at the market before!

"Brother, sister-in-law, you guys should eat too!"

Seeing that Cao Chungui and his wife couldn't put down their chopsticks, Sun Jianping smiled and urged.

The couple hummed, each took a small piece, dipped it in cold water, and put it in their mouths.

After being cooled by cold water, the maltose is crispy and crunchy, and the sweet potatoes are fried thoroughly by the hot sugar, making them soft and soft. They are even more delicious than meat!

"If I had had this skill earlier, why would I have been an apprentice? I would have just opened my own shop in Hecheng to sell sugar!" Zhang Ziyi wiped the sticky sugar residue from his mouth with emotion.

"Then you're crazy." Lao Cao narrowed his eyes, grabbed the kang broom, broke off a straw stick and held it between his teeth, grinning.

Early the next morning, Sun Jianping caught up with the carriage and went to Durki Commune.

In the supply and marketing cooperative, Aunt Cai looked at the pile of "candy cubes" in front of her with surprise. She couldn't believe that Sun Jianping made it himself!

"Young man, what are you doing? If others find out, you will have to be arrested!" Aunt Cai hurriedly wrapped the candy and stuffed it into Sun Jianping's pocket, "Hurry back, I'll pretend I didn't see you... "
