    "Are you here to read the letter?" Cheng Likun greeted Xie Huaxiang, "I just read it, and it seems there is no letter from you."

    This is not surprising. Xie Huaxiang only received the letter and package from her parents two days ago. The reply has not been sent yet. She will definitely not receive the next letter so soon. Apart from her parents, no one else corresponds with her.

    Zheng Yongcheng, on the other hand, after receiving his "sincere" letter last time, although Xie Huaxiang tore it up and threw it in the trash can, she thought in her heart that he would not give up so easily and would have to get more letters to entangle her.  , but she didn't expect that she still overestimated herself. Since then, she has never received a letter from the other party.

    ¡°Perhaps he has forgotten all about himself, an insignificant little person. This is the best thing.

    Her coming over to read the letter was just an excuse to show off her new bicycle.

    Cheng Likun indeed noticed her bicycle, looked around, and said in an appreciative tone: "A new car? It's pretty good."

    It was obviously a frank expression, but Xie Huaxiang felt that she saw teasing in his eyes, as if he had seen through all her childish thoughts.

    Yes, that¡¯s right, so what if she is just childish?  Who told everyone to say that she was leaning against Shen Tingsheng?  She wanted to let everyone know that her brother Tingsheng was also very good to her.

    Which man is willing to buy such a good bicycle for his wife?  Have it?

    Thinking of this, she puffed up her chest proudly: "Yes, Brother Tingsheng bought it."

    "Really? He is so kind to you." Cheng Likun sighed sincerely.

    Xie Huaxiang pretended to look through the letters, and after confirming that there was no letter from her, she rode her bicycle home.

    Grandma Shen was preparing to cook. When she saw the small bag of wheat that Xie Huaxiang brought back last night, she asked her, "Is this wheat? Are you going to grind it into flour?"

    Xie Huaxiang slapped his head: "I almost forgot, I am preparing to ferment malt to make maltose."

    Pour out the wheat, remove the empty wheat husks inside, leaving only the strong and full wheat kernels, put them in a basin, and soak them in water for a day to allow the dry wheat kernels to absorb the moisture.

    Then put a piece of gauze in a bamboo basket, pick up the water basin soaked with wheat grains, pour the water and wheat grains in together, wrap the wet wheat grains with gauze, cover it with palm leaves, remember to water it every day  water.

    Three days later, the wheat grains all sprouted tiny buds.

    At this time, put brown leaves in a round dustpan, pour water to moisten it, spread the germinated wheat grains on it, cover it with moist gauze and brown leaves in turn, put it in a cool place, and wait for the malt to continue.  grow.

    Watering was done once a day, and after five days, a piece of green grassland grew in the dustpan.

    At this time, we started preparing to make maltose.

    Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, steam them in a large pot, add water and mash them into a slurry. Take out the fermented malt, chop it up, add it to the sweet potato slurry, stir evenly, and ferment for two hours.

    Then simmer it over high heat for an hour, then pour it out and filter it through gauze. What is filtered out is the syrup.

    Continue to pour the syrup back into the pot and cook, stirring evenly while cooking, until the syrup slowly becomes thick and the maltose is about to take shape.

    The maltose can be cooled and formed into a slight shape, then stretched and twisted into a twist with your hands. After it cools down, it will become a hard candy block that can be eaten with your hands. It is a favorite of children. You can also use it while it is still in syrup form.  When the time came, it was used to make rice krispie treats.

    Add the popped rice krispie treats to the syrup, stir evenly, then pour it into a mold while it's hot and flatten it, let it cool, turn it upside down, and cut it into chunks. It's no different from the rice krispie treats they usually make, but they save a lot of time.  Less sugar, which saves costs very well.

    Another product was successfully improved. Xie Huaxiang was very happy. Remembering that the money from the last sale had not been calculated to Xu Xiulian, she quickly took out a small book and started to calculate the accounts. She was not a selfish person. Xu Xiulian made all these snacks with her.  Although it was her skill that came out, in actual operation, it was Xu Xiulian who contributed the most, so she must not be treated badly.

    Every time she sold something, Xie Huaxiang would give five percent of the profit to Xu Xiulian. At first, Xu Xiulian refused to take anything she said. If Xie Huaxiang hadn't taken her in, mother and son would still be wandering around without knowing where they were. How could they be so stable?  She lived a good life, and she didn't do much, just put in some labor. This kind of work was much easier than working in the production team before. It was good enough to have food and shelter here.  Where else can I get her?Shen Tingsheng did it higher than her every time she asked him to do it, leaving her with no sense of accomplishment at all.

    Zhang Jianmin is a better student. He is smart and obedient, but he doesn¡¯t try to be smart. Every time Teacher Shen Lihua teaches him, he listens carefully with his eyes wide open. He can understand it after saying it once.  Before going to school, he was given a lot of homework, and he could always finish it neatly on time. Occasionally, he could get one or two questions wrong to satisfy Shen Lihua's vanity.

    Shen Lihua couldn¡¯t be more satisfied after teaching such a student.

    Xie Huaxiang wrapped up all the rice krispie treats made with maltose this time and asked Shen Tingsheng to take the time to deliver them to the commune primary school for the teachers to eat, and to calm down the shock.

    The commune is reliable. It took two days to complete and install the school gate. The two sturdy wooden doors are quite stylish. The most important thing is safety. Although there have been no major incidents in the past, the teachers have been showing off the door.  Clothes, dried meat, etc. outside are often stolen. Now, as soon as students finish school and lock the school door, these petty theft incidents no longer occur!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
