Chapter 239: Maltose 2

"Wow! It's so sweet! Xiaobai looked up at Ye Hibiscus incredulously, his eyes lit up like stars in the night sky, "It's better than honey!" Is this thick with honey? ”

Seeing that her daughter liked it, Ye Hibiscus felt sweeter than honey, and continued to stir the syrup in the pot, "I told you, this is maltose, made of malt." ”

"Is that the malt you put at home to sprout?" Xiaobai didn't believe it, ran to the house to take a look, came out and said, "It's really gone, I didn't even know that malt was sweet." ”

Thinking of this, Xiaobai couldn't wait to pull a few wheat seedlings on the hillside to taste them, but he was reluctant to make the maltose at home.

Ye Hibiscus said funny: "Malt has no sweetness. ”

"Huh?" Xiaobai was stunned.

Not only Xiaobai was confused, but even the tall and tall Yan Xun was also full of doubts.

Yan Xun listened to the words of the mother and daughter, walked to the side of the pot and looked at it, "It's really sweet?" ”

Ye Hibiscus stirred up a ball and raised it to Yan Xun's mouth, and Yan Xun took a bite and found that it was really sweet.

Its sweetness is different from honey, honey has a strange taste, and you will be a little unaccustomed to that taste when you eat it for the first time, because it will not refuse sweetness, and you will fall in love with that special flavor after a long time. The sweetness of maltose is more pure, with a faint malty aroma, and after tasting a little, the aftertaste is endless.

Seeing that the father and daughter were curious, Ye Hibiscus explained: "Actually, the sweetness comes from the starch in the wheat, and the buds of the wheat contain amylase, which can transform the starch into a sweet taste. The method is not complicated, you just need to cook the wheat, put it when it is not hot, pour the minced malt into it, soak it overnight, boil it again, filter out the slurry water, and boil it until it is thick is the maltose you see. ”

Ye Jin's description was as simple as possible, but he still made Yan Xun and Xiaobai dizzy.

Xiaobai is young and receptive, and after carefully sorting it out, he still understands the general situation.

Yan Xun's head was completely short-circuited, and he pinched the wolf cub in his hand to relieve the embarrassment.

"I'm going to make a wolf pen for the wolf cubs." Searching for the Way.

Ye Jin saw through it and said with a smile: "Just find a place to lock them up, you can't lock them up for a lifetime." ”

"Hmm."

Yan Xun tied the wolf cub to the door with a bark rope and went out with tools.

The wolf cub was very panicked, and kept pulling and gnawing the rope, and it was definitely not okay to keep it on a leash like this.

The maltose in the pot was so thick that it could barely be stirred, and Ye Hibiscus covered the fire, took out a small stone bowl, and used a shovel to fill the maltose into the stone bowl.

Xiaobai drooled on the side, "Okay?" I'm going to eat. ”

"Wait a while, don't put it in the stone bowl right away, it won't be easy to get out of the pot when it gets hard later." Ye Hibiscus said.

There is no refrigerator, no preservatives or anything, she can only boil the maltose as much as possible, and the less water will be stored for a longer time, so the sugar is extremely sticky.

She wasted a long time, and she just put a large lump of maltose into a stone bowl, and the bottom of the pot was sticky, and she couldn't scrape it off. It was not easy to boil out a small stone bowl of maltose, and it was a waste to lose the bottom of the pot.

Xiaobai couldn't wait to poke the sugar at the bottom of the pot with chopsticks and eat, and said, "I'll just hold the pot and eat." ”

Ye Jian couldn't help but sneer, threw away the spatula, pinched his sore arm, and said with a smile: "Okay, the pot will be handed over to you, soak it in water for me after eating, and use it for cooking at night." ”
