After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Xia Mo hummed twice, then quickly dried all the bamboo shoots, picked up the sack and walked towards Liu Hong's house with them.

Liu Hong's home was near the east end of the village. When they walked outside Liu Hong's home, they happened to see him talking to a woman of the same age as him.

What a coincidence! Thinking of this, Xia Mo quickly walked to Liu Hong's side, then smiled and called out to him, "Uncle Hong."

Liu Hong, who was talking to someone, suddenly heard someone calling him, so he immediately turned around and saw that it was Ze Ge'er. A look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "It's Ze Ge'er."

"Hello, Uncle Hong." Seeing Liu Hong looking at them, Liu Yingying and Liu Yu also stepped forward to greet him.

Liu Hong laughed and responded, then looked around the three people again before asking, "Where are you going?"

"We are here to see you, Uncle Hong." Xia Mo went straight to the point and said directly.

"Oh? Looking for me?" Liu Hong was confused when he heard it. Even the woman standing next to him looked at Xia Mo with surprise. After all, in their eyes, it was really rare for Ze Ge'er to take the initiative to look for someone.

"Yes, I heard from Sister Yingying and Yu Ge'er that Uncle Hong, your family has wheat." Xia Mo looked at Liu Hong and said.

wheat?

When Liu Hong heard this, his eyes moved, as if he remembered something.

He first glanced at Liu Yingying and the others, then looked at Xia Mo for a while before he suddenly realized, "Could it be that the person they were talking about yesterday who wanted to buy wheat was you?"

Xia Mo smiled and nodded, "That's right, I did. It's mainly because I don't know who grows wheat at home, so I asked Sister Yingying and Brother Yu to help find out."

"So that's how it is..." Liu Hong said and lowered his eyes again, glancing at the sack in Xia Mo's hand.

It seems that Ze Ge'er really wants to buy his wheat, but he doesn't have much hulled wheat left, and when Ying Yatou and Yu Ge'er came to ask about it yesterday, they seemed very anxious.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong didn't want to deceive the younger generation, so he said frankly: "I do have wheat at home, but it's all unhusked."

"That's great, I want the unshelled ones. If they are shelled, I don't want them." Xia Mo said jokingly. He originally wanted to ask Uncle Hong about this, but he didn't expect that the other party would ask it first.

What? Ze Geer wants it unshelled? Liu Hong thought he had misheard for a moment.

It’s not Liu Hong’s fault that he was too surprised, because most people buy food that can be put into the pot directly. Now that I think about it, Liu Yingying and the others seemed to have asked about this yesterday?

In addition to Liu Hong, the woman who had been listening was even more curious. She glanced at Xia Mo and interrupted, "You don't want the shelled ones? How about the shelled ones? Brother Ze, if you buy these and then want to shell them, it will probably be a lot of work."

"Yes." Liu Hong nodded, agreeing with her, "Brother Ze, you have to think about it carefully."

Xia Mo knew that they were also thinking about him, so he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Hong, I came here just because I thought about it. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Yingying and Yu Ge'er. I asked them to find someone who didn't want to shell it."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hong and the woman immediately turned to look at Liu Yingying and Liu Yu.

Liu Yingying received several glances and nodded with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Hong, don't worry, Brother Ze wants to buy unhusked wheat, and Brother Ling knows it."

As soon as Liu Yingying opened her mouth, she brought up Lingchuan. When Liu Hong and the woman heard it, they instantly forgot their hesitation and doubts.

Since Ze Ge'er's men all agreed, they naturally had no objections. After all, even if Ze Ge'er wanted to peel the shells after taking them back, he still had Ling Chuan.

"Okay then, Brother Ze, how much do you want? I'll pack it for you." Liu Hong asked.

Xia Mo didn't expect Liu Hong's attitude to change so quickly, but none of this mattered. The only difference was how much he wanted to buy.

Xia Mo thought for a while before saying, "Four buckets, please." Then he handed over the sack in his hand.

"it is good."

After Liu Hong took it, he walked towards the door of his house, but he stopped as soon as he stepped onto the steps, then turned around, looked at Xia Mo and said, "You guys follow me."

Xia Mo naturally understood what he was thinking. He just wanted him to watch the weighing, but he felt that it was unnecessary. It was obvious at first glance that Uncle Hong was not the kind of person who would play tricks. He believed in him. He believed in someone who could stand up and help him recognize the words.

That’s right, Xia Mo remembered that Liu Hong had helped him on the day the engagement was broken off.

So he shook his head and deliberately urged: "No, Uncle Hong, go quickly, we will just wait here."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hong looked at him deeply, said "OK", and went into the house to load the wheat.

He didn't let Xia Mo wait long, and soon came out with a bag of wheat.

In the end, the price Liu Hong charged was cheaper than what Liu Yingying had told Xia Mo, which was considered quite considerate of Xia Mo.

Xia Mo paid the money, thanked Liu Hong again and again, and then he and Liu Yingying carried the sack and walked home...

After returning home, they first put the wheat on the ground, then went into the house to sit, rest their feet and drink some water.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xia Mo took a sip of water and said to Liu Yingying and Liu Yu.

"It's not hard. If three of us lift it together, it's not heavy at all." Liu Yu said.

Four buckets of wheat weigh about sixty kilograms in total, and it is not very heavy when three people carry it.

However, if all these 60 kilograms of wheat were used to make maltose, one bamboo sieve would definitely not be enough.

Xia Mo thought about it and looked at the sack on the ground again. He remembered that there seemed to be a small bamboo sieve at home, but even if he washed it again, it probably couldn't hold much.

So he turned around and looked at Liu Yingying and Liu Yu.

"Sister Yingying, Brother Yu, do you have any extra bamboo sieves at home? I only have two at home, and I don't think they can hold so much wheat because we have to wait for them to sprout, so we have to wait for several days."

"So wheat isn't ground directly? I thought they were just mashed, but I didn't expect we have to wait for it to germinate." Liu Yu said in surprise, missing the point.

Xia Mo grinned upon hearing this, then deliberately emphasized the word "malt" and said: "It's still mashed, but it's called maltose, so there must be malt first, hahahaha..."

When Liu Yingying heard this, she chuckled and said, "So that's how it got its name. It's quite fitting."

"That's true. But if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed it." Liu Yu couldn't help laughing.

They laughed for a while before Xia Mo got back to the point and asked again: "So do you have any extra bamboo sieves that you don't need at home? If not, make a few first."

"Yes, yes. I have several at home. No matter how many you want, I'll get them for you right away." Liu Yu said.

Xia Mo: "Well...just lend me two."
