Chapter 1730 Making Maltose
In the afternoon, when Lu Xiaoxiao came to the grain drying field, she saw Mrs. Liu leading a group of women steaming glutinous rice there, so she walked up to Mrs. Liu and asked, "Auntie, do you need my help?"
"No, you just sit over there and watch us make it. If you find that we have done something wrong, you can remind us."
"Auntie is an old hand at making maltose, so I don't need to remind you. I just came here to see if there is anyone who needs my help." Lu Xiaoxiao said after hearing Liu's words.
"You girl has a sweet mouth, but this time you really have to watch my aunt make maltose. In the past, my aunt used wheat to make maltose, and I have never made maltose with rice. If you don't watch auntie, you will have no idea."
"Okay, I'll just watch my aunt make maltose here."
After hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words, Mrs. Liu immediately felt at ease, and then she didn't continue talking to Lu Xiaoxiao, but went back to work in Guoguo.
More than an hour later, after Mrs. Liu put the first pot of maltose into the prepared grinding tool, she waved to Lu Xiaoxiao.
When Lu Xiaoxiao saw Mrs. Liu waving at her, she got up and walked towards Mrs. Liu.
"Xiaoxiao, how about you try the malt candy made from rice?" Mrs. Liu said to Lu Xiaoxiao when Lu Xiaoxiao came to walk up to her.
After hearing Liu's words, Lu Xiaoxiao picked up a small piece of maltose on the table and put it into her mouth, and a burst of sweetness spread in her mouth in an instant. Sure enough, the sugar made by hand is better than the one produced by machines. Sugar tastes good.
"Auntie, the malt candy is delicious and sweet enough, you just need to make it according to this standard." Lu Xiaoxiao said to Liu after eating the malt candy in her mouth.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words. She saw Lu Xiaoxiao eating candy and not talking, and thought that the maltose had failed, which really scared her to death.
"Xiaoxiao, since you said that maltose can be made, I will continue to make maltose. The few pieces of maltose on the table are for the captain and the others to taste. Can you please send them for me?"
"Of course, I'll send the candy to the captain and the others right now." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket, put the candy into the handkerchief, and walked towards the outside of the sun-drying field go.
More than ten minutes later, Lu Xiaoxiao found the captain in the peanut field. After opening the handkerchief in her hand, she handed it to the captain and said, "Captain, the maltose has been boiled in a pot. Aunt Liu asked me to Bring it for you to taste."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the captain reached out and picked up a piece of malt candy from the handkerchief and put it into his mouth. In an instant, he was conquered by the sweet taste in his mouth, which was better than the fruit candy he had eaten before.
In fact, before the malt candy was made, he thought that as long as the malt candy made from rice was sweet, he would be satisfied, but he did not expect that the malt candy made from rice would taste so good, so good that it exceeded his expectations. It seems that this batch of maltose can be sold at a good price.
"Xiaoxiao, the taste of maltose is very good. How much do you think is a reasonable price for this quality of maltose?" The captain asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"I don't know. I have to ask an elder of mine to find out. In fact, I am dragging an elder to help the village sell maltose this time. Otherwise, how can I, a child, have the ability to sell maltose?"
