Chapter 11, Boiling Maltose
"Tell me, what's your name? Did you bring anything? My old man doesn't teach free students. "Lin Fuzi put on his own shelf.
"Brought it." As he spoke, he took out two pastries from the basket, saying mung bean cake and rice cake.
No way, there are only a few kinds of pastries here, and they are not delicious. But it is also a valuable gift for the people of the village.
I saw that the master glanced at it, and then withdrew his gaze.
Gu Tingcheng took out another pot of wine, this wine was okay. You know, people in ancient times loved to drink.
Lin Fuzi didn't seem to look twice, but when he saw the third thing Gu Qingcheng took out, he couldn't take his eyes off it, and it smelled so fragrant!
"What is this, little girl?" pointed to the sauce fish pieces that Gu Qingcheng took out and wrapped in oiled paper.
"You can open it yourself and taste it." Gu Qingcheng looked at the old man and showed a sly smile.
Lin Fuzi tore a small piece and put it in his mouth, yes, this taste is no worse than those in those big restaurants. It was a unique taste that he had never tasted before.
"Is this a fish? How do you do it? "This fish is not worse than that of the Imperial City!
However, it is mainly because the fish in the imperial city is either braised or steamed, so it is boiled soup. There has never been such a unique practice.
"It's done blindly, it's two catties of jerky. You can also try it. "Look at this old man, he must be quite fond of food.
Sure enough, as soon as the meat was taken out, the old man unceremoniously took one and ate it.
"Isn't that a little hard?" I took a bite of it, although it was good, but it was so hard, how to eat it?
"I didn't let you bite it!" This one is as thick as a big finger and tenacious, so it's strange to bite it.
"How do you eat that?" Looking at the little girl's disdainful eyes, the old man was a little furious, and looked at Gu Qingcheng with his eyes.
"Tear your hands, and you'll find that it's tough and soft. The taste is still fragrant, and the feeling in my mouth is that I can't stop at all. Gu Tingcheng said like tempting his taste buds.
"Not bad, not bad." The old man nodded, and his face was not as old-fashioned and serious as when he first entered, but a little cute.
"Is this going down? Is it possible to enroll? "Looking at the greedy old man, he was quite good at pretending when he first entered the door.
"That's fine, but why are you bringing me so much stuff?" The old man turned his gaze from the flesh to her.
"Two people go to school, so naturally they have to take more." Gu Qingcheng said with a smile.
"Two people? Which two? I don't accept female students, you want to study, take these back and ask for a private tutor yourself. ”
He didn't count Gu Awu in it, because even if a group of people came, they would only send a man.
In addition, Gu Awu has been very quiet, so he ignored it.
"Naturally, I won't go to your school, even if you teach me, I won't learn. It's my brother and his scholar. My younger brother Gu Xiaoba, this is the scholar Gu Xiaowu. ”
This old old-fashioned, he doesn't accept female students, she doesn't go yet, a high-achieving goddess like her, does she need to learn this.
"You are the sisters and brothers of the Gu family, I have heard about it for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be you." The old man's face was like this.
"I wonder when they'll start?" Gu Qingcheng asked directly, ignoring the old man's inexplicability.
"Every day, I only learn for one hour, and the rest is on my own self-realization. I'll assign tasks. Those who don't finish will be punished. ”
It's about 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. in modern times.
"Well, do you need to prepare your own books?"
I forgot to ask the village chief before, and I didn't seem to say it, but she still prepared it for them last time.
"What do you say?" It's really an ignorant girl, and she's not motivated.
What else do you read if you don't prepare pen and ink to read? He also said that he didn't teach her to learn, huh.
"Okay, I'm ready too, will they go directly to the academy later?" Gu Qingcheng didn't mind the old man's tone, and asked with a smile and politeness.
"Hmm." The old man was a little reluctant to deal with her.
took the two of them home, but saw Chen Yun hiding behind a tree and looking into the house.
Gu Qingcheng stopped the two little guys, and he walked behind her quietly.
Gently tapped her on the shoulder.
Sure enough
A beautiful sound
"Ahh
"Yo, which girl? What are you trying to do behind my tree? "Gu Tingcheng has seen her, and last time they rushed to the market together.
But she couldn't remember when she had offended her, or if that mattered.
"Who is sneaky! I'm just tired of walking, and I just want to rest under this tree for a while, why do you scare me so much! ”
The woman's face was a little red, and she was squibbling and slightly arrogant.
"Girl, I don't know when I scared you, and how did I scare you? There is a saying that if you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. In broad daylight, I'll be scared when I pat you? ”
I don't know what this person's idea is, and Gu Qingcheng didn't move her.
Of course, what she said she was just here to rest, she didn't believe it, who would rest and look into someone's house? It's still sneaky.
"I'm too cowardly, I still have work to do at home, who is here with you. Don't stand in my way. ”
After speaking, he pushed Gu Tingcheng, but he didn't expect to push it, he was stunned for a moment, and went back to the village by himself.
Gu Qingcheng sent her away with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.
An early morning break? What did you do?
When I got home, it didn't rain last night, and the sun was still quite strong today, so I took out the leftover fish steak and dried it.
The jerky is already OK, so you don't need to dry it anymore, and it will dry very much if you dry it again, and it won't taste good.
I was thinking about catching a few more fish, but I found that I forgot to buy candy last time!
I had to boil the maltose myself.
I remember when I was in modern times, a chef friend said that she boiled maltose by herself, and the taste was much better than what she sold.
At that time, she also taught her how to do it.
Originally, she was not willing to learn it, but the friend said that natural beauty and beauty, so she learned it.
Only now did I find out that I really didn't have a lot of skills.
However, boiling maltose is very troublesome, and it takes two or three days to prepare. But the maltose you boil yourself is more fragrant.
Now the sugar sold outside is very expensive, presumably because the technology of boiling sugar has not yet been spread.
First of all, you need wheat, this is easy to do, the rice and wheat in the village are all grown, you can buy some.
Then it is the development of wheat seedlings, and when the wheat seedlings are well developed, the wheat seedlings are mashed, mixed with the steamed and cooled glutinous rice to ferment together, and then the juice is squeezed out and boiled together.
The maltose boiled out in this way is very authentic.
But the process takes two or three days. Later, I'll buy some wheat and come back to ferment.
Here, Gu Xiaowu followed Gu Xiaoba to the school. There were already some children waiting here, some fourteen or fifteen years old, and some about the same as them, about two or three fourteen or five years old, seven or so ten-year-olds, and the youngest seemed to be seven or eight years old.
Gu Xiaoba is the youngest of them.
This college was built by the people in the village, it is quite large, the decoration is okay, and the land is smooth.
"Who are you?" A chubby dun walked up to the two and looked at them suspiciously.
"My name is Gu Xue, Gu Xiaoba, and we are new students."
Gu Xueyan replied politely, and the smile on her face became more and more similar to her sister's!
"New here, is your home also in the village? Why haven't I seen you before? Chubby was curious.
"Yes, my house is the one not far from the village." He pointed to the walled house in the distance.
"Where do you live? I heard from my mother that there were rich people living there. Are you? Another older one ran over and asked.
"I don't know." Does their family have money? My sister only went to be a thing not long ago, if she had money, would she still be a thing? But when things seem to be quite valuable.
"You must have a lot of good things in your house, right? You bring us some tomorrow! The boy said domineeringly.
"Why?" Gu Xueyan is not stupid, he can still hear whether it is good or bad, these people are forcing him?
"Just because your family has money!" The boy said again, and the rest of the group chimed in.
"I won't." Xiao Douding was also angry, cute, and didn't want to deal with these people, so he bypassed them with Gu Xiaowu.
"You stop! Let's beat him! The boy beckoned to a group of people waiting for the little chubby.
One person made a move and pushed Gu Xueyan, and Gu Awu immediately took on his own responsibility.
He pushed it back, and pushed the boy to the ground, and everyone saw this honeycomb.
The two sides tore apart, and when they saw that there was a lot of trouble here, a few big ones over there came over to stop it.
"Chen Zhongju, what are you doing here? Why do you bully people? The man who spoke was dressed in a robe.
"I want you to take care of it, look at your poor and sour appearance." Chen Zhongju was not afraid of him at all, although he was three years older than him.
But his family is not as rich as his family, and he can't eat enough, so he dares to take care of his affairs.
"You" saw that everyone around him looked down on him, and the man stopped talking, he must study hard! Can't let down his mother.
So I didn't care about them, and went with my books in my arms.
"What are you doing here?" Before the crowd had dispersed, the Master came.
"Master, it's these two newcomers who are causing trouble." A younger brother pushed out by Chen Zhongju sued the black.
"What's wrong with them?" Looking at the people whose clothes were a little messy, they knew what was going on.
"They," the boy wanted to speak
"Shut up, you say." The master interrupted him directly and pointed at Xiao Douding.
Where has Xiao Douding ever seen such a scene? A little aggrieved, with an unhappy face. But I didn't say I wanted to cry.
Seeing that the master was pointing at him, he turned his head arrogantly, indicating that he did not want to speak.
The master is a little embarrassed, this little baby has a big temper.
Fortunately, Gu Awu answered what he asked
"Master, it was he who said that our son-in-law's family has money, and let us bring him things from home tomorrow, but my son-in-law was not happy, so he asked people to beat us, and then they fought."
Gu Ah said without a little emotion.
"Chen Zhongju, you have the ability, the old mistakes have been made again, right? Still in the middle of the lift? I think it's better to call Chen Shangtian directly, if it weren't for your grandmother's face, I would have kicked you back long ago. Master Zihao said unceremoniously.
"I" Chen Zhongju also wanted to explain that if her grandmother knew about this, I was afraid that she would not kill him!
"You, what are you? And you guys, none of you want to take the exam, do you? I don't want to think about it, a group of people in the family work for one of you to go to school. Doesn't conscience hurt? You are like Li Qing to study, no matter when and where I look, everyone is reading. ”
Shaking his head helplessly, these children are really ignorant! Don't cherish a good opportunity, how many people once wanted him to teach, he didn't necessarily teach.
I don't know what these people's parents think, he can only impart knowledge, but not upbringing! Without good moral upbringing, even if you become a talent, you are scum.
It's no wonder that generations of people have been digging in the soil, and it's really uncompromising!
