maltose

I got up the next morning and looked at the soles of my feet, and found that there was nothing serious. However, I didn’t plan to cut the pigweed today. My feet were too stuffy to wear cloth shoes and I was worried that the wound would become inflamed, so I decided to rest at home for the day.

After lunch, I was sitting in the yard sorting out medicinal materials, and soon I heard someone knocking on the door.

He opened the door and saw the second sister. After letting her in, he asked her why she came to see him. She didn't say anything but took out an oil paper bag from her pocket and handed it to her. She opened it and looked at it, and it turned out to be maltose.

"Second sister, where did you buy this from? I've always wanted to eat this but I haven't seen it sold anywhere."

"Hehe... my mother made this. It is made from the wheat ears picked up in the autumn harvest. Come and try it. It's delicious."

I took a small piece of maltose from the oil paper bag and put it into my mouth. A sweet taste came over me. It was not as sweet as candy, but rather sweet with a light wheat flavor.

The taste is hard to describe. Only those who have tasted it can understand it. In short, this kind of sweet maltose with the aroma of wheat cannot be made by a factory assembly line.

I had eaten this kind of maltose once in my previous life. It was brought by a friend when I was traveling. I always wanted to eat it but never saw it. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to eat it now.

"Second sister, this candy is delicious. Your mother's craftsmanship is really good."

"I also think my mother is very powerful. I heard she said she learned this from an old lady in the village when she was not married. She has not had the chance to do it since she married my father. This time she saw the wheat ears we picked. I just remembered this skill, so I made it for us to eat."

"Second sister, you go home and ask your mother if she can help me make this maltose. I will pay for the wheat and pay for the craftsmanship. I will never let your mother's work go in vain."

"No need to ask, my mother will definitely be willing to help you do it. You have always been helping our family. My parents have always felt guilty and have long wanted to do something for you."

Although the second sister said this, she definitely couldn't let them work in vain. Since they didn't need the money, it would be the same to give them other things.

"Second sister, I'll trouble your mother after we distribute the food."

"No trouble, I'll go home first, I have to go to school in the afternoon."

After sending off the second sister, I sorted out the remaining medicinal materials, then went back to the house and braised the four pig trotters I bought at the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday. I took them with the braised pork to the master and the others in the evening. Now that the weather is cold, I don’t want to leave them overnight. Will break.

When I came to the cowshed at eight o'clock in the evening, I saw the masters sitting in the room drinking tea and chatting, so I said, "Master, come here and see. I have brought you delicious food."

"We smelled it as soon as you entered the house. Take it out and see what's delicious." General Xie said.

"There are braised pork, braised pig's trotters and steamed buns. I brought more of them this time. Now that the weather is cold, it's no problem to eat them tomorrow."

The four people in the room swallowed unconsciously when they saw the meat on the table.

They have always been carnivores. Since they came here, they have neither the opportunity nor the conditions to eat meat. If Xiao Yatou hadn't occasionally brought some for them to eat, they would have forgotten what meat tastes like. Now they looked at the table How can they not be greedy if meat with color and flavor is placed on it?

Seeing the master and others like this, they couldn't help but laugh inwardly, and then said: "You can only eat a little tonight to satisfy your cravings. The meat is too greasy. Eating too much at night is not good for your health and can easily accumulate food, so I will save it for lunch tomorrow."

"Now that we know Xiao Yatou, we won't make fun of our bodies, so don't worry." Mr. Fan said.

"Okay, I'll go back first. I won't study here today. I'll go home and read by myself."

Seeing Xiao Yatou leaving, the four people in the room stopped pretending to be reserved. Each person took a steamed bun and didn't stop until they finished a plate of braised pork. Then they looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
