As soon as Zheng Qingran said these words, Zhou Libai didn't know what to say.
What else could she do but smile?
After Zheng Qingran finished speaking, she found that everyone seemed to have something wrong. She thought for a while and then said, "By the way, how do you make maltose?"
Her change of topic was very abrupt, but everyone silently accepted it.
After all, if we continue the previous topic, more and more people will be embarrassed.
The atmosphere quickly became relaxed again.
When we returned to Zhuangzi, the sky had darkened.
Xiao Nianzhi's original intention was to let everyone go back and rest, but Yan Changxia and the others were really curious.
So, in the end, everyone changed their route and went to the kitchen again.
Because of the hot weather, the wheat has sprouted very high, which is enough for making maltose.
Xiao Nianzhi washed the glutinous rice first, and then steamed it in the pot.
Then get the malt.
The malt needs to be sorted out, and the ungerminated wheat needs to be removed, and then the wheat along with the roots must be cleaned and chopped.
The more chopped it is, the more thoroughly the enzymes in it will be utilized when fermented with glutinous rice.
Chop this step...
Yan Xingxuan came up.
He had been bored all the way, but now he finally had something to do, and he was in a happy mood: "Think about it, I'll do it, I'll do it!"
He went to chop the malt, while Xiao Nianzhi and Yan Changxia were making glutinous rice and preparing some containers.
Maltose can be obtained as liquid syrup, or you can obtain snow-white and harder maltose blocks through the sugar pulling step.
Xiao Nianzhi has already thought about it. Yan Xingxuan should be able to do this step.
This requires strength and endurance.
It needs to be pulled back and forth repeatedly to make the sugar white and hard, then it can be sorted into a good shape, then cut into small pieces and stored.
After the glutinous rice was steamed and allowed to cool, Xiao Nianzhi put the chopped malt into the glutinous rice, then put the pot on a low fire and burned it slowly. The glutinous rice and malt fermented slowly through the water.
A certain temperature is required, but it cannot be too high.
Therefore, the best effect is to separate the water and slowly maintain the temperature over a low fire.
After everything was tidied up, Xiao Nianzhi motioned to everyone: "Okay, let's go back and have a rest. We'll do it again tomorrow after it's fermented."
Yan Xingxuan was hesitating at this time. Should he wait until the anniversary of Xiao's mother's death to give this gift, or should he give it in advance?
His hesitation came to the end.
Yan Changxia originally wanted to go with Xiao Nianzhi, but Zheng Qingran was afraid that his previous topic would embarrass Zhou Libai, so he forced her to go with him.
As a result, Xiao Nianzhi was left behind.
Yan Xingxuan didn't dwell on the outcome, and then saw Xiao Nianzhi left alone.
so……
Send it now?
I don’t know why, but I feel a little nervous. What’s going on?
Yan Xingxuan was puzzled, but the gift was not with him at the moment. He didn't want to give up such a good opportunity.
Thinking of this, he gave Laishun a look.
Laishun didn't understand the look in his eyes for the first time, and even after thinking about it carefully, he didn't understand either.
Then he tilted his head.
Yan Xingxuan:.
What's so cute about this time?
He glared at Laishun, and then gave the other party a mouth gesture: bracelet.
Laishun understood immediately, then quietly turned around and left.
Yan Xingxuan had already walked a few steps quickly and caught up with Xiao Nianzhi.
He thought, coaxing the person first, and waiting for Laishun to get the things back.
The three little girls in front didn't know what they were talking about. Yan Changxia made bursts of surprise, which completely relieved their previous embarrassment in the carriage.
The three of them didn't notice for a moment that Xiao Nianzhi didn't follow, but they talked together.
Xiao Nianzhi didn't deliberately come forward. She was thinking about a question at this time.
That is……
There are no antibiotics, but there can be allicin!
This stuff is equally useful for anti-inflammation and sterilization!
However, compared to the complexity of antibiotics, allicin is relatively easy to use.
Of course, if Xiao Nianzhi was asked to do it rashly, she really couldn't do it.
However, a friend of hers had tried it before and succeeded, so she shared it on social media.
At that time, Xiao Nianzhi was curious and discussed it with the other party.
After all, garlic is an ingredient in Xiao Nianzhi's eyes.
The two people had a discussion because of this.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi still has an impression, so he can try to operate it first.
Then, take rabbits, chickens, ducks, etc., do an experiment and see the results.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yan Xingxuan came up from behind and whispered: "Think about it."
Listening to the voice, Xiao Nianzhi quickly turned his head: "Brother."
Laishun hadn't come back yet, so Yan Xingxuan thought for a while and decided to delay it for a while: "The moon is very beautiful tonight."
Xiao Nianzhi only thought that the other party was chatting casually, so he looked up following the words.
On a clear night, the starry sky is really beautiful.
The stars are like ribbons, shining brightly.
Xiao Nianzhi originally just looked up casually, but now he couldn't help but raise his head and look at it for a while.
Seeing that her eyes were attracted to the starry sky, Yan Xingxuan also raised his head and looked at it for a long time. He couldn't tell which one was which, so he could only tell the truth: "This one is big, that one is dazzling, hey, this one can actually move, that one..."
Xiao Nianzhi:.
Although the wording is very simple, it is surprisingly picturesque.
Xiao Nianzhi responded from time to time in order to prevent the situation from being awkward.
Soon, Laishun came back with a small box in his hand and quietly handed it to Yan Xingxuan.
When the box was handed over, Yan Xingxuan's fingers tightened as he held the box.
He was a little nervous. He was not sure whether Xiao Nianzhi would like this gift? Is it the right time to give a gift?
…
Too many questions came to mind at this moment, making Yan Xingxuan want to retreat.
However, in the end, when he saw Xiao Nianzhi's delicate and soft profile, he squeezed the box tightly and strengthened his belief that he wanted to give it away.
Yan Xingxuan thought, the moonlight is so beautiful, and the beauties under the night sky are like autumn water. Wherever the water waves touch, there is gentleness and beauty, making people unable to help but stop, look back, and be amazed.
Taking a deep breath, Yan Xingxuan reached out and gently pulled the corner of Xiao Nianzhi's clothes.
Xiao Nianzhi, who was looking at the stars, felt her sleeves moving. She looked down first and found that Yan Xingxuan was tugging at her sleeves. She turned her head to look at the person again.
The moment their eyes met, Xiao Nianzhi's mind wandered slightly.
Without him, Yan Xingxuan's eyes are too deep. When he looks at you seriously and tenderly, it's like the light of the whole world is shining on you, making people unable to help but fall into a trance.
However, in two breaths, Xiao Nianzhi had adjusted herself. She tilted her head in confusion and said in confusion: "What's wrong?"
The voice as gentle as a soft cloud pulled Yan Xingxuan out of his dazed thoughts at the moment when Xiao Nianzhi looked back at him.
He calmed down and said in a soft voice: "Think about it, I give this to you. I wish you everything goes well and you are healthy every year."
