Chapter 46 The Second Maltose Cooking

Chapter 46 The Second Maltose Cooking

It didn't take long for everyone to finish picking, and in order to feed them more clearly, they returned to the Song family together.

It would be strange if it didn’t attract the attention of the villagers!

But Shen Xia didn't know it at this time.

Seeing that everyone came back with him, he stacked the leaves one by one: "Look, it looks like this. Then use a knife to cut the stem and cut it into small particles."

"The first three days are all leaves of this tenderness. After three days, you can use leaves that are a little older than this. You still need to chop them, but they can be larger than this. Then you can do it again for another three days and so on."

"I understand. Thank you, Mrs. Song," Aunt Zhou said politely.

"Okay, I understand. We won't bother you anymore and will go back first." Aunt Jiang said.

"Well, go back!"

After watching everyone leave, he gave the mulberry leaves to Xiao Wu and said, "Here, take it. You can cut it yourself if you raise it yourself."

"Great!" Xiaowu was very happy.

"Sister, can I cut it myself?" Xiaotian asked.

"Xiaotian, you are still young and you can't use a knife. You only need to use a knife in the first few days, and you don't need it in the next few days. You can feed them together."

"Okay! If my sister says no, then no."

Shen Xia looked at Xiaotian. It was good that this child was obedient.

I wish I could have such an obedient child in the future.

It’s too early to think about this!

Forget it.

Because of the rest during this period, the food is also still available.

Song Jiang's injuries and his second brother's injuries have basically healed.

The third brother Song Jin has not seen any effect yet, but the fourth brother Song Yun can sit up and walk slowly.

Although he couldn't walk very steadily, his eldest brother made him a walking stick.

Look at Xiaotian and Xiaowu cutting mulberry leaves in the yard. One is responsible for folding and the other is responsible for cutting. The division of labor is clear.

I went back to my room to see if the malt was ready.

Because it has been many days, and there is a little more malt this time, so I am afraid it will take more than half a day to finish it.

It seems that whether making malt or silk quilts in the future, I will need to cook something and light two more stoves.

Because two hundred kilograms of glutinous rice were cooked this time, the shelves in Song Yun's room were filled with it.

Suddenly, a lot of things happened at home. My eldest brother wanted to weave a bamboo grid.

Xiaowu and Xiaotian want to raise silkworms.

My mother wanted to make clothes, so in the end it was only Song Ming, Song Jin and I who boiled malt, steamed glutinous rice and made malt sugar.

It was a very tiring afternoon. Most of the work was done by my second brother, while my third brother was making the fire.

I only finished half of it in one afternoon.

I'll cut the remaining malt and make it tomorrow.

In the end, I didn’t have the energy to cook dinner, so my mother had to do it.

After dinner, everyone washed their faces and feet together in the kitchen.

Song's mother went back to her room and took out a bunch of fine cotton cloths from the kitchen. Then she sorted them according to size: "Big brother, these three are yours, second brother, these three are yours, third brother, these three are yours, fifth brother and Xiaotian, these three are for the two of you."

"Give the fourth one his later."

Song Ming said: "Mom, what kind of pants are these? They are so short?"

"This is a pair of underwear. Xia Xia asked you to make it for them. You can wear it inside." Song's mother explained.

Shen Xia didn't think it was a big deal.

But why do they look so weird?

Isn't it just a pair of underwear? It's like I'm doing something to them.

Song Jiang never talks much.

Song Ming felt embarrassed too, Xia Xia was so nice to us.

"Xia Xia, you are so good to us. I will definitely treat you better in the future. I promise that if you ask me to go east, I will not go west."

"Well, second brother, that's the best."

Then Song's mother went to Song Yun's room and gave Song Yun's things to him.

Song Yun looked at the summer underwear. Of course he was familiar with it. He had never worn it in the countryside in his previous life, but when his conditions were better, he wore it like the nobles.

Underwear comes in different lengths, short when it’s hot and long when it’s cold.

What does she mean, she even takes the trouble to make underwear for herself.

Is it possible that he still loves himself?

It seems that I should wait until I feel better, or have some time to talk to her properly. Don't put all your heart on me. He has his elder brother, second brother and third brother, which are enough for him. Besides, Xiaowu is also very attached to her.

Don't compare one mountain to another.

Even if she is not the original owner, she is better than her, but she is not her type.

The next morning, the sun shines on the earth.

Set out on the journey of picking mulberry leaves with Xiaowu and Xiaotian.

There were laughter and joy all the way, and after returning home with a full load, the two children happily went to feed the silkworms.

Then he and his second brother worked in the kitchen, cutting the malt into small pieces and making delicious maltose.

This busy work lasted the entire morning.

Just as we were concentrating, suddenly, Song Yun slowly walked into the kitchen with a cane.

Nowadays, he insists on taking a few laps of walk every morning to build up his physical strength.

Occasionally, he would sit next to his eldest brother and help with some manual work within his ability.

As time went by, Song Yun started to eat with everyone. His complexion gradually became rosy and his body gained a little weight, but he was still thin compared to ordinary people.

Watching him slowly recover his health, I feel that there is still hope in life.

Now the only one missing is the third brother. It would be almost perfect if his eyesight could get better.

When I was cooking at noon, I saw that there was not much rice left in the rice jar.

He said to his second brother, "Second brother, there is not much rice left. Should we go buy some rice tomorrow? Besides, the malt has been boiled. Let's go ask about the sales tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go together!" Song Ming.

"Sister, I want to go too, can I?"

Shen Xia looked at Xiao Wu's bright eyes and felt embarrassed to refuse, "Okay, Xiao Tian will come with us tomorrow, but you guys have to be able to get up."

Shen Xia saw that his family would probably take up most of the ox cart, so he decided to buy one if conditions allowed, which would be more convenient when the time came.

"Okay," Xiaowu clapped his hands happily.

Xiaotian also smiled happily. Although he didn’t say he wanted to go, his sister still wanted to take him there.

Song Yun looked at Shen Xia's face full of doting on the child. It turned out that she loved children so much.

No, liking children is none of your business.

He left the kitchen with an unnatural look on his face, and went to the yard to help his elder brother make a bamboo lattice. The bamboo lattice was made very quickly and was almost finished in just two days.

During lunch.

There are more people in the family now, and we eat at two small tables separately. Later, Shen Xia felt unfamiliar with eating separately, so the children put the two tables together to eat.

The eldest brother, who usually doesn't talk much, suddenly looked at Shen Xia and said, "I'll go with you guys tomorrow! If you buy a lot of things, I'll take some too."

Song Ming glanced at Shen Xia.

Shen Xia actually didn't know if there were many. If she went to Tianxinzhai tomorrow to have a look, she would probably not need them urgently.

After all, it takes several days to go back and forth.

So I didn't hold out much hope, I just wanted to buy some more rice and some raw materials.

After all, Shen Xia still has more faith in sales methods.

But who can tell what has not been fully implemented?

What if the ancients didn’t like this?

That's it. The only way for me to develop my most promising industry is to find another way.

"Okay, brother, let's go together!" Shen Xia agreed.

Song Jin hesitated. Actually, he also wanted to go, but after thinking about it, he decided that they would have to take care of him if he went, so he might as well wait until they were better before going out.
