An old professor at the University of Science and Technology said: "I have eaten maltose from many places in my life, and the maltose in Hantun Village is the best among the maltose I have ever tasted."

When I go back, I have to give my wife some, she just has this mouthful, I didn't sell it in the past few years, but I have sold it in the past two years, but unfortunately my teeth are not good, and it takes a lot of effort to eat one. The maltose in your village is crispy and crispy, which is suitable for the elderly. ”

Yamamoto and a few of them, eating and shouting: "Jacket laundry!" shouted and stretched out his thumb.

The children of Hantun Village have had a lot of contact with them, and they can basically understand it, knowing that it means delicious and wonderful. The adults were puzzled when they heard this, and the "old mule" said in surprise: "If it is delicious, you have to let his aunt do the laundry, and Japanese women really have no status." ”

Yamamoto corrected seriously: "It's the laundry, not his aunt's laundry." ”

The "old mule" looked at him like a fool and replied: "It must be your aunt who goes to do the laundry, and you can't support his aunt." ”

Yamamoto became even more anxious when he heard this: "It's not your aunt who does the laundry, it's the clothes that you do." ”

The "old mule" looked at him and said suspiciously: "This child doesn't have a fever, my aunt is long gone, I can wash your laundry, dream." ”

A group of children, amused by them, laughed, and the crumbs of maltose stuck to their bodies and faces.

Some children were really touched by the melted maltose in their mouths, and the more they wiped it, the more they squeaked, and they were so anxious that they squeaked, and everyone looked at it and laughed.

Everyone said that it was no wonder that maltose was used for sacrificial stoves, and it was really good for this thing to be used to seal the mouth.

Before this ceremony was prepared, Yoyo inquired with the second master about the reason for worshipping the king of the stove with maltose.

According to folklore, the Lord of the Stove was originally a star in the sky, but because of his mistakes, he was degraded to the world by the Jade Emperor and became the "East Chef". It sits in the middle of the kitchen stove of each house, watching how people live and behave, and recording all the good and bad things in detail. On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, he returned to heaven and reported to the Jade Emperor the good and evil situation of each family. On the evening of the thirtieth day of the lunar month, he returned to the world and punished the evil and promoted the good according to the will of the Jade Emperor.

Therefore, people have to sacrifice to the stove on the 23rd day of the lunar month, and offer the sticky and sweet maltose to the king of the stove. When sacrificing to the stove, the maltose should be melted with fire and applied to the mouth of the king of the stove. In this way, he can't speak ill of the Jade Emperor. Stick to the mouth of the king of the stove and let it "say good things from heaven and keep peace from the earth".

Children regard this day as a prelude and "dress rehearsal" for the Spring Festival. As soon as the day is dark, the firecrackers are set off, and in the sound of firecrackers, the male owner of the house puts a plate of malt candy and a bowl of tea in front of the statue of the king of the stove, lights candles and incense, and after praying and saluting, the statue of the king of the stove is removed from the wall and burned, and then the tea is splashed on the paper ashes, and the maltose is eaten by the children in a hurry.

There is also a legend about the long hollow maltose: according to legend, as early as the Tang Dynasty, Changzhou began to use caramel and sesame seeds to produce a kind of sesame candy that resembles a hemp ball, called hemp ball. By the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, wolf smoke was everywhere, and the Jin soldiers invaded southward. King Kang Zhao Gou fled south from Bianliang, the capital of Beijing, and favored the south of the Yangtze River, blindly compromising and seeking peace, and did not want to recover the lost territory in the north. The common people are very resentful of this. At that time, he once composed a poem: "Outside the mountain, Qingshan Building, outside the building, when will the West Lake sing and dance rest? The warm breeze makes the tourists drunk, and Hangzhou is regarded as Bianzhou!" to vent his dissatisfaction. The common people in the Changwu area used another form to express their desire to resist Jin and regain lost territory. They transformed the spherical hemp ball candy into a cylindrical shape like a fire gun and gave it to King Kang to inspire his courage to resist the Jin Dynasty and restore the country. As for whether King Kang Zhao Gou was inspired and courageous from it, it is unknown. However, Changzhou sesame candy has since been made into a cylindrical shape, which continues to this day.

Regarding maltose, Yoyo has specifically consulted with Zhinao, and there is really a lot of related content.

Maltose is a traditional product in our country, with a unique flavor, crispy and sweet to eat, pure and delicious taste, rich in nutrition, and has the functions of smoothing the stomach, relieving cough and curing constipation, etc., it is not only a favorite food for children, but also for adults to eat.

The maltose processing method is simple and suitable for rural family production. However, it is limited to production in the winter months, and even in the cold Tohoku region, it is not more than five months at most.

In later generations, there were very few handmade maltose. The handmade maltose technology is listed as a World Cultural Heritage. The price of handmade maltose is as high as thousands of yuan per kilogram.

Most of the maltose in later generations was made by machine, and the price was low, but the taste was also poor.

Yoyo took out several kinds of maltose from the storage garden, both handmade and machine-made. After tasting, not only is the taste of the machine poor, but it is purely handmade, and it cannot be compared with the second master, the crispness is not enough, and the fragrance is not authentic.

There are reasons for the production technology, and there are also reasons for the raw materials. Due to the pollution of the environment, the quality of various raw materials in later generations is incomparable with the current one.

Later generations of maltose were bought all year round, and there was special refrigeration equipment. The packaging is also high-grade, especially the handmade maltose, and the packaging is more exquisite.

And most of them are independent special packaging, made of hard plastic into various packaging boxes, maltose packed inside, can not be knocked and touched, easy to transport. Only by doing this can you be suitable for online shopping.

Nowadays, maltose is packed in woven bags, and stalls are set up in the market, and the woven bags are open for people to watch and choose. Put some pieces of maltose on the side for people to eat.

The size of maltose is not weighed, half a catty can weigh a large bag, wrapped in yellowed wrapping paper, it will not take long to go home, it will melt when it is hot, and the crispiness and taste will be poor.

The maltose in the market is generally one yuan a catty, the cost is less than five cents, and the profit is high enough. However, the production time of maltose is short, and transportation is difficult, so it can only be sold in nearby markets, and the sales volume is not large.

Youyou roughly calculated, according to the scale of the second master, the production volume in an hour is about 100 catties.

The more than a dozen kinds of maltose made by the second master this time were about 500 catties, and after people tasted them, there were still more than 300 catties left, and they were immediately divided by everyone.

Everyone took all kinds of plastic bags and did it themselves, and they packed some of each maltose, and what they sold in the market was the same price anyway. The second master didn't set the price, whoever asked for it, just let the Tao be recorded in the account.

There is no shortage of plastic bags in Hantun now, and there are plastic machines and color printing machines in his village, and all kinds of plastic bags can be produced. A 30 cm white transparent plastic bag costs less than a penny.

All kinds of plastic bags made by the trial production of the plastic machine have been divided by everyone, and each family has hundreds, and everyone is happy. Especially for the women in the family, it is very convenient to use plastic bags to pack small things.
