Chapter 118 118 Sorghum stalks boiled in syrup
In Xiaomi's heart and soul, the autumn harvest finally ushered in. When everyone was busy drying all kinds of grain and putting them into the warehouse, Xiaomi was dragging a few sorghum stalks.

"Xiaomi, the cows at home have something to eat, so you don't need to take this back." Jiang Xiaoxue carried a small basket on her back, which contained two handfuls of sorghum ears, which were missed earlier.

"Second Sister, I want this to be useful." The sorghum leaves had been peeled off, leaving only a few bare sorghum stalks, but they were very long, and it was still a bit difficult for Xiaomi.

Jiang Xiaoxue sighed helplessly, and reached out to take it: "Let me get it for you."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to tell Tie Dan behind him to go faster.

Erniang Jiang and Hu were chopping sorghum stalks, and Xiaomi was in a hurry, fearing that the sorghum stalks would dry out if it was too late.

Under Xiaomi's urging, the three hurried home.

"Second sister, help me wash that big stone mortar, I'll use it later."

The big stone mortar is usually used for crushing corn, and last year it was used to pound glutinous rice cakes.

Jiang Xiaoxue didn't know why, but she brought a basin of water to wash the mortar, while Xiaomi washed the sorghum stalks briefly with water, and cut the corn stalks into small pieces with a hatchet.

"Xiaomi, what are you doing?" Xiaoxue didn't know why, so the little girl grew up and did things more and more strangely.

"Second sister, this sorghum stalk is so sweet, you have a taste, let's see if we can get the sugar out of it."

Xiaomi took a piece of it for the second sister to taste. It tasted similar to sugar cane and had enough water.

However, there is no sugar cane in their village, and they don’t know if there are any other places.

Jiang Xiaoxue didn't know why, but she still tore off a piece with her teeth, chewed it, and her eyes lit up: "Really, it's sweet, just like sugar."

Xiaomi poured the sorghum stalks cut into sections into the stone mortar: "Second sister, let's smash it together."

Fortunately, the mortar hammer was made of wood. The two sisters could lift it up together. The two of them worked together to lift it up and smash it down. After a while, there was a puddle of water under the mortar.

Xiaomi took a big bowl, filled the juice, and continued pounding. After pounding a few sorghum stalks, a big bowl of sweet juice was harvested.

Not only that, Xiaomi also scooped up a ladle of water, added water to the residue that had been pounded once, and then filtered all the juice with fine gauze.

In this way, I got three big bowls of sweet water. Before my parents came back, I asked my second sister to help light the fire and boil the sugar water.

Keep cooking on high heat without covering the lid to let the water vapor evaporate. When the water is boiled dry and the sugar juice becomes viscous, cook slowly on low heat.

And Xiaomi has been stirring with a spoon. It is also the first time she has done this. She doesn't know if it will work or not. But seeing that there is less than a quarter of the original pot of water, she knows that it is probably not a failure.

Jiang Xiaoxue turned off the charcoal fire, leaving only a little spark, then came and stood beside Xiaomi, and sniffed it vigorously: "It really smells like sugar, so sweet."

Xiaomi stepped on the stool to stir the syrup in the pot. It must have been there all the time, but Xiaomi himself didn't smell it much.

So when she heard what the second sister said, Xiaomi quickly asked: "Really? Can you smell it? It's about to be filled, so it's a little bit, so don't burn it."

Jiang Xiaoxue brought a bowl: "Come down, Xiaomi, and I'll serve it."

Xiaomi quickly stepped aside.

The sticky syrup was filled in a small bowl, it was grayish brown, like mud, and there was still some stains in the pot and on the spoon. Xiaoxue was reluctant to waste it, so she scooped up a little water and poured it in. After rinsing, it was a bowl of sugar water.

After taking a sip, Xiaoxue's eyes lit up: "It's so sweet, as sweet as the candy I bought."

"Second Sister, I want to drink too." Tie Dan hurried over, and Xiaoxue put the bowl in front of him: "Be careful."

Xiaomi had already brought the syrup to the table and was poking it with chopsticks.

Tie Dan drank a few sips, even said it was so sweet, and wanted to drink more, but was stopped by Xiaoxue, and then served it to Xiaomi: "Try Xiaomi too, you made this."

"What did Xiaomi do, give it to Dad too." Jiang Hu's voice came from outside, it turned out that it was lunch time.

"Father!" Xiaoxue put the bowl on the table, turned around and ran out: "Xiaomi is amazing, boiled sugar with sorghum stalks, it's so sweet."

Jiang Hu, who had just put down the hoe, was startled, and strode into the kitchen, the shock on his face was still hidden: "Is millet boiling sugar?"

Millet is using chopsticks to test the consistency of the syrup, and I think it is still a bit thin, you can boil it again, preferably the kind that can be directly stirred into a ball with a wooden stick.

As soon as she put down the chopsticks, she saw her father standing in front of her with a bad expression, and she couldn't help being a little dazed: "Father?"

Erniang also came in now, she was the first to see the half bowl of syrup in front of Xiaomi, she was a little surprised: "Xiaomi, is this made of sorghum stalks?"

Xiaomi nodded: "Yeah, what's the matter, Mom, Dad doesn't seem very happy?"

Erniang patted Xiaomi's head: "It's okay, Xiaomi, don't tell others about this, do you understand?"

The monk of Xiaomi Zhanger couldn't figure it out: "Is it about boiling syrup with sorghum stalks?"

Jiang Hu also adjusted his mood now, took a deep breath, and his face relaxed a lot.

"Xiaomi, tell Dad, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making sugar with this?" He picked up the syrup and looked at it: "This is similar to the maltose you made, Erniang, but the color is not so dark."

Er Niang nodded, she also found out just now.

Then the two looked at Xiaomi together.

Xiaomi blinked and looked back at her parents innocently: "I don't know, but today when my second sister was chopping sorghum stalks, I accidentally tasted the water in the sorghum stalks. It's so sweet."

Then there is no more then.

Jiang Hu and his mother looked at each other, and Jiang Hu pressed Xiaomi's shoulder: "Xiaomi, I heard from my father that this syrup was made by mother accidentally, let alone you, okay?"

Xiaomi didn't think too much about it, so he nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, it was mother who made it."

Then Jiang Hu told Xiaoxue and Tie Dan again, Tie Dan is still young, if someone asks, let him say he doesn't know.

Afterwards, while cooking, Erniang asked Xiaoxue how the syrup was made.

Xiaoxue helped her mother and explained it carefully. As for the person involved, Xiaomi?I followed my father to the back of the pigsty to see my father feed the pigs.

As for the worries of his parents, after a short period of confusion, Xiaomi understood the reason, it was to protect himself.

However, looking at her father and mother, it seems that she doesn't intend to let this matter pretend that nothing happened, but she is curious, what exactly will her father and mother do?
Are you ready to make a fortune in silence?Or are you going to advertise it widely so that everyone can make money together?
