The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby
Chapter 428 Making Maltose
When Yu Ruyue chopped the malt herself, the sweet smell of wheat filled the entire room.
Everyone mixed it together, put it in a huge wooden basin, and waited quietly for a night. The next morning, the four little ones couldn't wait to lie down beside the wooden basin, their eyes full of anticipation!
Take off the covering on the wooden basin, and a unique fragrance will be released!
And all the chopped malt and starch sank to the bottom, with a layer of light yellow water on top.
Take a piece of gauze and filter out all the juice, then put it in a pot, boil and stir.
This stirring is a strenuous job. You have to stir it constantly to evaporate the water in the pot, and you also have to control the sugar so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. It's similar to stirring hawthorn and sugar when making hawthorn cake.
Yesterday, everyone drank spiritual spring water mixed with fitness pills, and they felt much better today. Yu Ruyue asked them to drink two bowls of spiritual spring water each in the morning. At this time, they had just come back from having diarrhea, and they smelled the sweet smell in the air, so they followed the smell and came over.
They looked at the pale yellow liquid in the pot with surprise on their faces.
"Ruyue girl! What is this?"
Qiuhong immediately brought over a bowl with a smile, scooped out some and handed it over, "Everyone, try it, this is malt sugar!"
Yu Ruyue was holding a bowl and sipping it carefully. "Sister-in-law! You're amazing! You actually learned it just by watching your mother make it once. And this sugar water that hasn't been boiled dry is so delicious. It's so sweet and has a hint of wheat aroma."
"I feel like if I drink this, I can finish two big bowls. It's even better than the candy."
Shen Zhiheng looked at her with a doting look on his face. Yu Ruyue immediately handed over her half-finished bowl, "Why are you grinning like an idiot? Try it too, it's really delicious."
Shen Zhiheng took the bowl and looked at the water stains on the edge of the bowl. His eyes widened slightly and his ears turned red. He opened his thin lips slightly and held the place where Yu Ruyue had just drunk. His Adam's apple rolled as he took a sip, then looked at Yu Ruyue with a smile on his face again.
“It’s really sweet and delicious.”
Yu Ruyue, who had been watching his reaction from the side, took in all of Shen Zhiheng's little movements. When she met his smiling eyes again, she turned her head away a little embarrassedly, thinking that this demon was really good at seducing people.
An An and Ning Ning also held a small bowl and drank it in small sips. The sweet taste made the two children's eyes smile.
Moreover, they watched from the side early in the morning and went over to help from time to time. They always felt that they had contributed to the success of the candy, and it tasted better, even better than all the tribute candies in the palace!
Yu Dehou and Liang Shulan had only heard of malt sugar but had never seen how it was made. Today was an eye-opener for them.
For a moment, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of swallowing.
After everyone drank a bowl, they couldn't help but order another bowl.
After they finished drinking, they realized that Yu Ruyue was planning to let Qiuhong go downstairs to sell malt sugar.
Shen Jiaojiao praised repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, you are so amazing, you actually have such a skill. If I saw someone selling malt sugar on the street!"
"By the way! If you need any help, just tell me!"
Seeing that everyone praised the taste, Qiuhong gained confidence in going down the mountain to sell malt sugar, but she did not stop her hands.
When the sugar turns into a yellowish brown color and there is resistance when stirring, or even when it can be pulled into strings, turn off the heat and place it in a ceramic bowl.
At this time, you can make sugar figures, or take two wooden sticks and stir them together to make a lollipop!
After waiting for this thing to air out for a while, Yu Ruyue took out bottles and jars from the house. They were filled with things of various colors. These things were bought from the underworld exchange and were safe and guaranteed.
After these colors are used up, the fruits and vegetables are all ripe and pigments can be extracted from them.
Yu Ruyue washed her hands and dripped two drops of red pigment into a small piece of sticky candy. Then she took the soft malt sugar and quickly placed it on a clean branch outside. She pulled it hard, repeating the process over and over again, and a pink candy was pulled out.
The four little ones looked at the pink candy and jumped around with joy!
Yu Ruyue took the candy down, broke it into small pieces, and distributed them to the four little ones. If this pigment really contained technology and hard work, then it could be considered as training these children's ability to resist poison!
When Qiuhong and the others saw it, they found it extremely novel.
Yu Ruyue thought about the short videos she had watched before, where different colored candies were put together. Although they didn’t look very pretty at first, after they were stretched and thinned, and then cut one by one with a shovel, various patterns would appear in the cross-section.
She planned to try it with Qiuhong. After she expressed her idea, Shen Jiaojiao also cleaned herself up and tried it together.
Anyway, there was nothing to do when we went back. The weather was very good now, and the breeze brought the fragrance of trees and grass. So we moved out the tables and chairs and played cards together outside, or watched them make candy!
Time seemed to have gone back to more than two years ago, the winter when Yu Ruyue left pregnant with her child. Everyone gathered on the mountain in the same way, looking very happy.
Shen Zhiheng told the children not to run around, and then stood beside Yu Ruyue, looking at her with tender eyes.
The tenderness in those eyes seemed to be overflowing!
He really wanted time to stop at this moment forever and never share his beloved woman with that man again.
On the other hand, Shen Chou took the letter with a happy face, but when he saw the fluent and elegant handwriting on it, his face instantly darkened.
"Only this one letter?"
"I only have this letter and the calligraphy practice copybook next to it to reply to Your Majesty."
"Are you sure? Have you looked carefully? Is this really the only one? Is there anything else that looks better?"
Liuguang felt a sweat dripping down his spine when he heard this question. "Your Majesty! Shadow and I have carefully investigated and confirmed that this is the only letter."
When Shen Chou heard the answer, the veins in his hand holding the letter bulged, and he radiated anger. He could no longer hold back and swept everything on the table away. The murderous intent in his eyes made the shadows standing by wailing in their hearts, "Empress, where have you been? When will you be back? Your Majesty is so terrifying."
After Shen Chou vented his anger, he leaned back in the dragon throne with a dejected look on his face. He waved his hand with a very bad look on his face and said, "Call all the imperial doctors here."
Liuguang quickly agreed, and the imperial doctors who received the news wailed in their hearts, "Empress, where have you been? We really miss you! Ever since the Empress was away from the palace, the already irritable Emperor has become even more erratic and fierce!"
They even seemed to have some masochistic tendencies. Several times they were summoned to the palace late at night. Looking at the mess on the ground and the tyrant's hands dripping with blood, the fear in their hearts made them tremble.
The tyrant looked at their trembling appearances and wanted to have them dragged out and beheaded without saying a word. Fortunately, Master Liuguang mentioned the Empress, and they were spared from death...
Is today the limit of their survival?
