Female Farming Pond Fish

On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, according to custom, the two got up early in the morning and cleaned the house.

Sweeping the house is not only about cleaning and welcoming the new year, but also about sweeping away diseases and bad luck. On this day, you should clean your house inside and out.

Tian Yu took a small rag and wiped the bed, table, chairs, and even every corner clean.

Chi Xiaotong was outside cleaning the yard and sweeping the snow.

Go to the kitchen and clean the pots and pans one by one. After being busy for half a morning, Chi Xiaotong thought it was over.

Unexpectedly, Tian Yu took out another large basin, added water, and took out all the quilt covers and clothes, intending to wash them all.

Chi Xiaotong reached out to test the water temperature and stopped Tian Yu. When she went to the kitchen, she found that there was no hot water.

"Wait a minute, I'll boil some water. You can wash when the water is hot!" Chi Xiaotong filled the pot with water.

"No need, my wife. This water temperature is fine!" Tian Yu moved a small stool and sat down.

Chi Xiaotong simply moved the basin to the kitchen and had been boiling water since morning. The kitchen was not cold at all, it was even a little hot.

I asked Tian Yu to check on the malt and water it. We chatted for a while. The water was basically hot.

Tian Yu didn't let Chi Xiaotong intervene, so she had to make sure the water temperature was appropriate so as not to freeze her husband.

After a busy day, I cleaned the house thoroughly.

The next day, the two had a simple breakfast.

Chi Xiaotong asked, but there was no custom today. Seeing that the malt had grown almost to a certain size, Chi Xiaotong decided to make maltose today.

Clean the pot first. Steam the glutinous rice.

While waiting, Chi Xiaotong did nothing else, mainly because the fire could not be made without people.

Chi Xiaotong held Tian Yu and watched the fire together. Tian Yu had grown taller during this period. Chi Xiaotong had also grown taller. It was more than enough for her to hold Tian Yu in her arms.

She also likes to hold him like this. But he is still a little thin. If he were a little fatter, it would definitely feel better to hold him.

After raising it for so long, I have grown taller, my hair has become much better, and even my skin has become whiter. My face no longer looks as thin as if I were malnourished.

Steam the glutinous rice and keep warm for later use.

Chi Xiaotong began to process the malt. Picking and washing it took the two of them half an hour to process the malt.

Chop the cleaned malt into small pieces and mix with the glutinous rice. Stir well.

Then it was fermented. At noon, the two fried potato chips.

After eating, Chi Xiaotong went back to the room, hugged Tian Yu and took a nap, and then continued when she got up.

Now Tian Yu has also adapted to Chi Xiaotong's schedule. When he has nothing to do at noon, he will take a nap with Chi Xiaotong. Even if he doesn't fall asleep, taking a nap will make him feel much more energetic in the afternoon.

The fermented glutinous rice and malt mixture was filtered, leaving only the juice. In order to filter it clean, the two worked together and even panted.

The next step is to boil it. Pour the filtered juice into the pot and stir constantly.

It was quite tiring, but it was a lot easier when two people took turns.

Until the sugar in the pot became thicker, Chi Xiaotong felt that it was almost done and asked Tian Yu to find a small jar to store it.

The sugar produced was less than Chi Xiaotong expected. Chi Xiaotong tasted it and found it quite successful.

He rolled some with chopsticks and asked Tian Yu to eat it.

There was still some left to simmer for a while, then take it out. After cooling for a while, Chi Xiaotong washed her hands and started pulling sugar.

After a while, I got tired. Tian Yu bit off the candy and held it in his mouth. Wash your hands and come to help.

It has to be said that men in this world are weaker than women. But Tian Yu is as strong as Chi Xiaotong.

Chi Xiaotong, whether in her previous life or her original body, was not a pampered person, but she had never done any hard work. Even if Chi Xiaotong had been working all this time, she was still not as good as those who worked all year round.

Tian Yu grew up working. He was much stronger than the average man. So the difference between the two was not much.

When it gradually hardens and cannot be pulled, roll it into strips. Before cooling, cut it into blocks. This is another form of maltose - sesame candy.

Tian Yu tasted a piece and praised it for being delicious. Chi Xiaotong also threw a piece into her mouth. The taste was OK. If I make it a few more times and control the heat and time better, it will definitely taste better.

After packing the sesame candy, it's time to prepare dinner.

After dinner, the two lay on the bed.

"The Wife"

"Um"

"I think……"

"What do you want to do?" Tian Yu didn't say anything for a long time, and Chi Xiaotong couldn't help but ask.

"I, I want to give some sesame candy to Chengshan, is that okay?" After hesitating for a while, Tian Yu finally plucked up the courage to say it.

"I can do less..." Chi Xiaotong interrupted him halfway through his words: "Of course."

"Ah!" Chi Xiaotong agreed so quickly that Tian Yu was a little slow to react.

Chi Xiaotong: "It was originally made as a snack for you. You can give it to anyone you want!"

Tian Yu: "Thank you, my wife, you are so kind!"

"Chengshan is a very good person. He is especially nice to me. He doesn't look down on me and is willing to take me out to play. He is also willing to share with me the delicious food. I also want to be nicer to him. I don't have much to give him, but my wife said it was for me, so I wanted to share some with him!" Tian Yu explained.

"Well, Chengshan has a good personality. You can play with him more! You can also make some friends!" Chi Xiaotong has always wanted to let Chen Chengshan take care of Tian Yu.

Now that Tian Yu is willing to get close to Chen Chengshan, Chi Xiaotong is happy to see this.

"Chengshan is like a little sun!" Tian Yu said, thinking of the infectiousness of Chen Chengshan's cheerful laughter.

"Yes, he really is like a little sun!" Chi Xiaotong agreed.

Tian Yu had a bad childhood and was a bit dull. Spending more time with the cheerful and lively Chen Chengshan could motivate him and make him more energetic.

Tian Yu muttered to himself again: "I need to find a jar and put some maltose in it, and also some sesame candy."

It was dark and Chi Xiaotong could only rely on her senses. Tian Yu wanted to turn around and look at her: "Wife, can you accompany me to deliver it to the Chen family tomorrow?"

"Okay," Chi Xiaotong responded lovingly.

"But now, you have to sleep!" Patted Tian Yu on the back.

The two of them made some malt sugar today and felt quite tired.

After a while of silence, Chi Xiaotong gradually stopped patting Tian Yu's hands. The two of them breathed evenly and soon fell asleep.

A good night's sleep.
