Chapter 171 You two come down
This is not a problem without money.
"Well." Xue Yan thought so too.
With adults around, it would never be Xue Yan and Jiang Yue’s turn to carry the things. Anyway, the glutinous rice was in Xue Yihu’s hands and held by Xue Yihu.
After leaving the rice shop, they all walked to the place where Uncle Tian parked the ox cart.
Li Hehua held Jiang Yue's small hand, looked at what Xue Yihu was holding, and asked, "Yuebao, how much candy can you make from these?"
Jiang Yue said: "You don't need so much wheat and rice flour. If you use all the glutinous rice, you can probably make more than a pound of caramel."
The starch content of glutinous rice is 75% to 80%. The conditions here, even if she controls it well, it is impossible to convert all the starch into maltose.
All conversions, that is an ideal situation, it cannot be achieved here.
One hundred catties of glutinous rice can get 60 to 70 catties of maltose, which is quite good, and two catties of glutinous rice can get a little more than one catty of maltose, which is almost the same.
"A little more than a pound?!" Both Li Hehua and Xue Yihu were taken aback. "So many. During the New Year's Eve, my aunt gave my grandpa a small packet of caramel. That's not even a couple of taels. I heard that it cost her twenty cents."
Jiang Yue wanted to say that she spent almost a hundred pennies before she even made the caramel...
Because of the small amount of production, the difference is still not obvious. It is only slightly better than buying directly. She also has nothing to do. She can save a few cents if she can save a few cents, but if you make a lot of caramel, it will be more cost-effective.
The people who came in the morning also knew that Uncle Tian would go back early today, and they were already waiting at the ox cart. When Jiang Yue and the others arrived, the ox cart could also go back.
When the sun was still high, Jiang Yue and the others were about to return to Huaishu Village.
"One tiger, is that four tigers?" Suddenly Li Hehua pointed to the front and said from the back of a young man in coarse clothes who was walking along the road carrying a bag and carrying a crock pot in his hand.
"It's the Four Tigers!" Xue Yihu was very surprised. Immediately, he shouted happily: "Four tigers, four tigers."
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were basking in the sun, the ox cart was swaying, and Li Hehua and Xue Yihu were watching over them. Their nerves were somewhat relaxed, and they felt a little sleepy when they suddenly heard Li Hehua's Voice, the two people looked over to the roadside in front of the ox cart, and it was indeed their fourth brother.
And their fourth brother is leaving, not as fast as the ox, the ox cart has already come to the side of their fourth brother.
Xue Sihu is still the same as usual. Before looking back, he already had a three-pointed smile on his face. When he saw Li Hehua and Xue Yihu, the smile on his face immediately became bigger: "Big brother! Sister-in-law!"
Seeing that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were also on the ox cart, he was even more happy: "You two come down and walk back with me, you are almost at the entrance of the village, and you won't be able to sit for long."
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue got off the ox cart.
Xue Yihu and Li Hehua also got off the ox cart.
"Four Tigers, you want to come back, how come you don't know how to come back in Uncle's ox cart." Uncle Tian laughed.
Xue Sihu naturally walked back because he was reluctant to give up the penny, but he wouldn't say that, but said with a smile: "Who knew you came back from town so early, uncle, doesn't it usually take an hour to come back? ."
Uncle Tian smiled and said, "I have something to do at home, so I came back earlier."
"Uncle Tian, hurry up and go back, we'll just go back, and we'll be there." Xue Yihu said with a smile as he took out four coins and gave it to Uncle Tian.
