After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

As soon as Xia Mo finished speaking, Liu Yu stood up and went back to get the bamboo sieve.

Seeing this, Xia Mo glanced at his still slightly red cheeks and said, "Brother Yu, you should rest for a while. There is no rush. I will go with you to get it later."

Liu Yu waved her hand: "No, the bamboo sieve is not heavy, I can do it alone, you just wait for me here, I will be back soon."

After saying that, he trotted out without waiting for Xia Mo and Liu Yingying to react, which made Xia Mo and Liu Yingying feel helpless, but also a little funny.

It seems that Yuger is really interested in making malt sugar.

Liu Yu left. Liu Yingying looked at his back for a long time before looking away. Then she turned around and asked Xia Mo.

"Ze'er, now that we've bought the wheat, how many sweet potatoes do you need? I'll bring them to you tomorrow."

"Sweet potato, let me think about it..." Xia Mo said.

Liu Yingying didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so she waited patiently for him to think it over.

In ancient times, it seems that "half a catty is eight taels", so one catty is sixteen taels, which is six taels more than today?

So, if the ratio of wheat to sweet potatoes is one to two, sixty kilograms of wheat will require one hundred and twenty kilograms of sweet potatoes, so he only needs to buy seventy-five kilograms of sweet potatoes, right?

"Sister Yingying, 75 kilograms is enough. Um...it's best to use sweet potatoes that have been stored for a longer time. The malt sugar made from them will be sweeter." Xia Mo said.

"Oh? Aren't fresh ones good?" Liu Yingying looked at him in surprise. Her mother saw that Ze Ge'er didn't want the ones she gave him and insisted on buying them, so she had already decided to pick some fresh and big ones for him.

"It's not that they're bad, but the sweet potatoes that have been stored for a long time have more sugar in them. Sister Yingying, haven't you noticed that the sweet potatoes that have been stored for a long time are sweeter? I'm being picky, and you and Auntie are at a disadvantage."

Xia Mo said this with a sly smile, as if he had gotten a great deal.

When Liu Yingying heard this, she immediately thought about the sweet potatoes she had eaten before, and found that it was really just like what Xia Mo said, so she smiled and said, "So that's the truth, but it's not a loss or no loss, sweet potatoes will rot if left for too long."

"Hahaha...it seems to be true." Xia Mo laughed.

"It's not like, it's always been like this." Liu Yingying corrected him. She really didn't think Ze Ge'er took advantage of her.

"Yeah, Sister Yingying is right." Seeing Liu Yingying's seriousness, Xia Mo also gave her face and agreed.

Then he said, "How about this? Over 70 kilograms of sweet potatoes are not light. I'll go to your house to get them. It will take a few days for the wheat to sprout. By then, Brother Ling should be back soon. We can ask him to help."

When she heard that Ling Chuan would help, Liu Yingying nodded, "Okay, then let's do as you say."

Seeing that she agreed, Xia Mo smiled and said, "Well, there's no rush."

So the two chatted for a while until Xia Mo had rested enough and stood up, "Sister Yingying, please sit for a while. I'll go clean the bucket and bamboo sieve that I'll use later."

Liu Yingying also stood up after hearing this, "I'll help wash as well. I'm free anyway."

"Okay." Xia Mo agreed without hesitation.

So when Liu Yu came in carrying two large bamboo sieves, he saw Xia Mo and Liu Yingying washing wheat, and immediately quickened his pace and walked over to them.

"You guys actually started?! Why didn't you wait for me?"

Xia Mo was happy when he heard this, as he seemed to be eager to help with the work.

Then he smiled and said, "At the beginning, it's hot now. After washing the wheat, soak it in clean water overnight. Then pick it up and put it into a bamboo sieve, spread it out... and sprinkle some water on it every day, about three times a day. Wait for five or six days, and when they grow green malt as long as your index finger, you can start to tinker with the next step."

"So that's how it is. It looks quite similar to grain seeds." Liu Yu said as he put the bamboo sieve aside, then rolled up his sleeves and prepared to join the washing team.

"It's the same principle. So if it's winter, just soak it in warm water." Xia Mo continued.

"Yeah, I understand." Liu Yu said as she squatted beside them and started washing the wheat.

There wasn't much wheat to begin with, and the three of them finished washing it in no time.

One bucket cannot hold all the wheat, so it is divided into two buckets. After scooping water, the wheat is carried into the buckets and placed in the storage compartments.

Xia Mo opened his hands and twisted his shoulders and waist, then looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly and it was already noon without him noticing.

So he turned around and said to them, "Sister Yingying, Brother Yu, it's noon, let's have lunch first."

However, when Liu Yingying and Liu Yu heard this, they immediately shook their heads and waved their hands to refuse, "No, Ze'er, since the wheat is already soaked, we will go back first."

"Yes, brother Ze, let's come again tomorrow." Liu Yu followed suit.

After they finished talking, they were about to leave, their movements were surprisingly consistent.

When Xia Mo saw this, he immediately rushed forward and blocked their way, pretending to be angry and said, "No, if you leave like this, I won't dare to ask you to come over to help me again in the future. Otherwise, others will definitely say that I am a deadbeat."

"No, it's us..." Liu Yingying was interrupted by Xia Mo before she could finish her words.

"Yes, then everyone will say that I, Liu Ze, am a miser who is always stingy."

Xia Mo paused, his eyes rolled around, and then he took out his trump card, "Anyway, if you guys leave directly, I will have to ask others to help me make malt sugar another day."

"no!"

Liu Yingying and Liu Yu said in unison.

It's no wonder that these two people reacted so strongly. Apart from some selfish motives, they were more worried about Ze Ge'er. He foolishly passed on his craft without knowing it. Wouldn't that be exactly what Aunt Zhou said?

Unfortunately, Xia Mo ignored their words. Instead, he made way for them and turned his head away, as if to tell them to leave if they wanted to.

Seeing this, Liu Yingying and Liu Yu looked at each other helplessly, then compromised and said, "Okay, okay, we'll do as you say. We don't want to miss such a good opportunity, don't you, Brother Yu?"

"Yes!" Liu Yu nodded heavily.

Xia Mo turned his head slightly and squinted at them when he heard this, "Then stay for dinner?"

"Yeah, this time, even if you drive us away, we won't leave." Liu Yu said with a smile.

Liu Yingying also smiled, "That's right."

Xia Mo couldn't help but curl up his lips when he saw this, then turned around and said to them: "Then you guys just wait, I'll do it now, it will be quick."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, we won't leave." Liu Yingying responded.

Xia Mo glanced at them again, and after confirming that they were not fooling him, he quickly went to start making lunch.
