Family's wheat place in the granary, said is the granary, in fact is Yunlin with the big frame that the bamboo arranges, the bamboo basket is close, the wheat that inside installs will not leak actually. 家里的麦子放在粮仓里,说是粮仓,实际上不过是云林用竹子编的大框罢了,竹筐紧密,里面装的麦子倒是不会漏出来。 Looks to be loaded with the big bamboo basket of wheat, Yun Jing actually worries. 看着装有麦子的大竹筐,云景却是犯了难。 That thing lift-off has two chi (0.33 m) high, places several to slide does not keep on the foundation that the bamboo of hand makes, the reason for this is that first prevents the grain to be affected with damp, another slides not to keep the bamboo of hand also to prevent the mouse to crawl the calamity calamity grain. 那玩意离地有两尺高,放在几根滑不留手的竹子做的底座上,之所以如此,一来是防止粮食受潮,再一个滑不留手的竹子还能防止耗子爬上去祸祸粮食。 Installs the bamboo basket of wheat to be about one meter five high, in addition below two chi (0.33 m) high foundations, now two -year-old over Yun Jing on less than one meter young short and stocky, he cannot reach...... 装麦子的竹筐本身就有近一米五高,加上下方两尺高的底座,如今两岁出头的云景也就一个不到一米的小胖墩,他够不着…… What to do can this? 这可咋整？ Yun Jing scratches the head. 云景不禁挠头。 Gathered round the bamboo basket to transfer the half-turn, the eye one brightly, he discovered that bottom of the bamboo basket had a small strobe, only needed to pull open a plank, inside wheat can come out following the bamboo pipe class/flow. 围着竹筐转了半圈,眼睛一亮,他发现竹筐底部有个小闸门,只需要拉开一块木板,里面的麦子就能顺着竹管流出来。 That small strobe also on lift-off more than one meter point, he only needs to move in a chair to stand to reach. 那小闸门也就离地一米多点而已,他只需要搬来一张椅子站上去就够得着。 Therefore he drags a chair with effort, sought small screen of one -and-a-half chi (0.33 m) diameter at home, then stands in the stool opens the valve to meet the wheat. 于是他费力的拖来一张椅子,在家里寻了个一尺半直径的小筛子,然后站在凳子拉开阀门接麦子。 Met half jin (0.5 kg) probably measured him to close the valve, were many needing, for the first time what after all made the malt sugar more was the pilot basis. 大概接了半斤的量他就关上了阀门,多了没必要,毕竟第一次做麦芽糖更多的还是试验性质的。 „The key of malt sugar is the malt, making the wheat germinate is a fine work, puts the vessel of wheat to the water percolation, otherwise the wheat soak the easy spoil by soaking in the water, but the wheat germinate and need the moisture content, therefore the vessel must have certain lock river character, the screen of this woven bamboo utensils only satisfied water-permeable, wants to lock in the moisture content the words, but must fill up a arrange/cloth in inside, best is the gauze, but in the family/home is poor preciously the cloth ends of palm of the hand size extremely, which my does the gauze? Ok, is great I to irrigate water every day several times, I am in any case young do not need to work, some are the time......” “麦芽糖的关键是麦芽,让麦子发芽是个精细活儿,盛放麦子的容器必须透水,否则麦子泡在水里容易泡烂,但麦子发芽又需要水分,所以容器还得具有一定的锁水性,这竹编的筛子只满足了透水性这点,想要锁住水分的话,还得在里面垫上一块布,最好是纱布,但家里穷得巴掌大小的布头都珍贵万分,我哪儿去搞纱布？算了,了不起我每天多浇几次水,反正我还小也不用干活儿,有的是时间……” Recalls the malt sugar production process, because the condition is really limited, Yun Jing also can only conform to simplicity. 回忆麦芽糖的制作流程,因为条件实在有限,云景也只能从简了。 Makes to germinate wheat well, this matter cannot be known by the family member, otherwise the buttocks must be opened the flower absolutely, therefore Yun Jing will be loaded with the screen of wheat to put out outside the room, arrived behind shed that piles up the fuel, decides to cultivate the malt here. 把好好的麦子弄来发芽,这种事情可不能被家人知道,否则屁股绝对要被打开花,于是云景将装有麦子的筛子拿出屋外,来到了堆放柴火的棚子后面,决定在这里培育麦芽。 The family members take the fuel generally in front door, this place discovered is likely. 家人取柴火一般都是在前门,这个地方被发现的可能性较小。 However to be cautious, he decided that covers with the branch, happen to the branch blocking can also let the wheat at the cool shade place, satisfies the yield condition, kills two birds with one stone. 不过为了稳妥起见,他决定用树枝遮挡一下,正好树枝遮挡也能让麦子处在阴凉遮光处,满足生长条件,一举两得。 Fills up two wooden clubs under the screen, avoids the screen direct contact ground effect malt growing, then Yun Jing spreads out inside wheat, goes to the water jar to make the water to pass the wheat pouring, blocks from the screen with the branch again, this was uneven the work, following only needed the moisture content that every day the watering guarantee wheat germinated, waited for the malt to grow well. 在筛子下面垫上两根木棍,避免筛子直接接触地面影响麦芽生长,然后云景将里面的麦子摊开,又去水缸里面弄来水把麦子浇透,再用树枝遮住筛子,这就齐活儿了,后续只需每天浇水保证麦子发芽的水分,等着麦芽生长就好。 The process is actually not complex, but Yun Jing was too small, does particularly to use energy, for example goes to the water jar to ladle water, he must front to open the stool in the under foot. 过程倒是不复杂,但云景太小了,做起来分外费劲,比如去水缸舀水,他还得垫张凳子在脚下。 Once again, Yun Jing desperately hopes oneself grow up a bit faster, even if knew perfectly well after growing up, not possible like the present worry-free...... 又一次,云景迫切的希望自己快点长大,哪怕明知长大后就不可能像如今这样无忧无虑…… On this day the Yun Jing family member works, evening's time, is grandfather Yunlin asked in his family/home specially to come excellently, said a screen that he arranged disappeared. 这天云景的家人干活儿回来,晚上的时候,爷爷云林专门问他家里是不是来过人,说他编的一个筛子不见了。 Yun Jing will certainly not say that the screen was taken away by oneself, but shook the head to say does not know, can it be that then Yunlin did knit the brows to whisper remembers incorrectly? Yeah, old memory is not good...... 云景当然不会说筛子被自己拿去了,只是摇头说不知道,然后云林皱眉嘀咕莫不是自己记错了？哎,老了记性就是不好…… Regarding own grandfather's response, the Yun Jing innermost feelings admire, in family/home he arranged so many bamboo wares, in the back-basket dust pan pocket the screen and so on a big pile, threw a common screen he to see unexpectedly. 对于自家爷爷的反应,云景内心佩服不已,家里他编了那么多竹制品,背篓簸箕兜里筛子之类的一大堆,就丢了一个不起眼的筛子他居然都一眼看出来了。 Regarding this he can only say, the family/home is poor, anything seems very precious, do not look is only a small screen, in the taking away town/subdues can sell several copper coins. 对此他只能说,家穷,什么东西都显得很珍贵,别看只是一个小小的筛子,拿去镇上可是能卖几个铜板呢。 The day passes by day-by-day, the family member is busy cultivating has not discovered the Yun Jing petty action, because of season reason, under Yun Jing takes good care, for half a month, the wheat germinate to his satisfactory degree long. 日子一天天过去,家人忙着耕作没有发现云景的小动作,因为季节原因,在云景悉心照料下,足足半个月,麦子发芽才长到他满意的程度。 Then is to make malt sugar the committed step, regarding small Yun Jing, that may can be called is the great challenge. 接下来就是制作麦芽糖的关键步骤,对于小小的云景来说,那可称得上是重大挑战。 Glutinous Mi has, stealing some are not difficult, what is difficult is lights a fire to cook the glutinous rice, he did not have the top to be high, this also pressed him, the operation difficulty, was not good, let alone the entire malt sugar, selected to have the possibility the family/home in...... 糯米家里有,偷取一些自是不难,难的是生火煮糯米饭,他还没灶台高呢,这也太难为他了,操作困难,一个不好,别说整麦芽糖,把家里点起来都有可能…… „Therefore cannot at home entire, protects from fire urgently, can only go to outside the room, the issue is to go to outside the room words, without pot......” “所以不能在家里整,防火刻不容缓啊,只能去屋子外面了,问题是去屋子外面的话,没锅啊……” Puzzled Yun Jing, will focus in family's brined vegetable jug finally, without the pot, used the brined vegetable jug to replace, this thing was the high temperature burns, was used to cook the glutinous rice to have more than enough to spare, even the following fermentative process can in the brined vegetable jug. 纠结的云景,最终将目光放在了家里的咸菜坛子上,没锅,就用咸菜坛子代替了,这玩意是高温烧制出来的,用来煮糯米饭绰绰有余,甚至后续的发酵过程都可以在咸菜坛子里进行。 Decides, a day of noon, Yun Jing under worked to operate officially while the family members. 打定主意,一天中午,云景趁着家人都下地干活儿去了正式操作起来。 Used the stone to build a top in the courtyard simply, the brined vegetable jug clean is clean emptied, made a probably two jin (0.5 kg) glutinous rice, washed rice the watering to put on the top. 在院子里用石块简单的垒了个灶台,将一个空了的咸菜坛子清洗干净,又弄来大概两斤糯米,淘米加水放灶台上。 On this simple process, is not almost tired him a good and evil, brined vegetable jug several jin (0.5 kg), in addition the glutinous rice and water about ten jin (0.5 kg), such weight was too difficult to his small physique, almost break the brined vegetable vat several times. 就这简单的过程,差点没把他累出个好歹来,咸菜坛子几斤重,加上糯米和水得十斤左右,这样的重量对他这小身板来说太难了,好几次差点把咸菜缸打破。 However completes these steps with great difficulty, the major difficulty has almost not made him give up making the malt sugar. 然而好不容易完成这些步骤,更大的困难差点没让他放弃制作麦芽糖。 The so-called difficulty in fact to the common person cannot say that from the start difficulty, may Yun Jing here actually be the countless sufferings and hardships. 所谓的困难实际上对寻常人来说压根就称不上困难,可在云景这里却是千难万难。 Lighting a fire. 生火。 Such a simple matter, causing Yun Jing almost to give up. 就这么一件再简单不过的事情,导致云景差点放弃。 Without the cigarette lighter, in the family/home does not have the fire seed, only then flint and steel type of primitive lighting a fire tool, Yun Jing knocked for quite a while with the flint and steel, the arm almost knocked unable the fire to rise, most also on fragmentary sparks/Mars...... 没有打火机,家里也没有火种,只有火镰这种原始的生火工具,云景用火镰敲了半天,胳膊都差点敲断了也没能把火升起来,最多也就零星的火星…… „Was this too also difficult?” “这也太难了吧？” In the courtyard, is Yun Jing of everything is ready looks at the brined vegetable vat on simple top to congeal to choke speechless. 院子里,已经是万事俱备的云景看着简易灶台上的咸菜缸无语凝噎。 However, giving up was not possible to give up at this time, the flint and steel has no way to light a fire, but did not have the means on behalf of Yun Jing. 然而都这个时候了,放弃是不可能放弃的,火镰没法生火,但并不代表云景就没办法了。 He looked for the block small bamboo strip, then goes to the corner to blow one white powder, that is the mirabilite, the previous generation his elementary school has studied general knowledge, the lower part of wall type of thing of rural countryside are especially many, especially closes the place of draft animal. 他找了块小竹片,然后去墙角刮一种白色粉末,那是芒硝,前世他小学就学过的常识,农村乡下的墙根这种东西尤其多,特别是关牲口的地方。 Before long Yun Jing blew the quantity mirabilite of less than half bowl. 不一会儿云景就刮了小半碗的量芒硝。 Blowing the mirabilite puts in the simple top, goes to the room to look for the charcoal to make into the powder and mirabilite mixes together. 把刮来的芒硝放简易的灶台内,又去屋子里找来木炭弄成粉末和芒硝混合在一起。 „, This thing can be called the most primitive fire- medicine, the best supporter of combustion, being used to light a fire is not simple, I was also too difficult, to make the malt sugar must climb the technical tree......” “啧,这玩意都能称得上最原始的火-药了,最好的助燃剂,用来生火还不简单,我也太难了,为了制作麦芽糖还得攀科技树……” Shakes the head, Yun Jing of time press increases the small branch on the mirabilite and charcoal mixture, then starts to rap the flint and steel, as the ignition star falls, slight in the sound, the mixture burns, the flame flees, lights the small branch. 摇摇头,时间紧迫的云景在芒硝和木炭混合物上添加小树枝,然后又开始敲击火镰,随着点点火星落下,轻微的刺啦声中,混合物燃烧,火苗窜起,点燃小树枝。 The fire, was lives finally, later added the firewood to increase the firepower, cooked the glutinous rice. 火,总算是生起来了,随后添柴加大火力,煮糯米饭。 After a half hour, the glutinous rice boils thoroughly, the Yun Jing fire fighting, stirs the glutinous rice with the spatula, almost becomes the flour gruel shape to call a halt, at this time the glutinous rice the cooling channel about 40-50 degrees, had then increased the malt that minces to stir again, cause its intensive mixing together. 半个小时后,糯米饭煮熟,云景灭火,用锅铲去搅拌糯米饭,差不多成糊糊状停手,这个时候糯米饭已经冷却道40-50度左右,然后添加剁碎的麦芽再次搅拌,使其充分混合在一起。 Looks at the mixture of most jug glutinous rice and malt, this was the hope of malt sugar, when it fermented to degrade the syrup, filtered the syrup boil, can obtain the malt sugar. 看着大半坛子糯米饭和麦芽的混合物,这就是麦芽糖的希望了,待其发酵好降解出糖汁,过滤出糖汁熬煮,就能得到麦芽糖。 The fermentative process needs certain temperature help microorganism to grow, the condition is limited, Yun Jing cannot move the bedding it, to can only replace with the grass nest, the good surface to have the straw at home, in the past after the rough rice harvested , the family member will make comes back to facilitate to light a fire, this little while Yun Jing just used. 发酵过程需要一定温度帮助微生物成长,条件有限,云景也不能把它搬被窝去,是以只能用草窝代替了,好在家里面有稻草,往年稻谷收割后家人都会弄一些回来方便生火,这会儿云景刚好用到。 Is puts behind the shed of fuel as before, Yun Jing built a nest with the straw, strenuous will be loaded with the jug of glutinous rice and malt mixture moves to put away, looks for a plank to seal up the altar/jar mouth from the family/home, then only need wait. 依旧是放柴火的棚子后面,云景用稻草搭了个窝,费力的将装有糯米饭和麦芽混合物的坛子搬去放好,从家里找来一块木板封住坛口,接下来只需等待。 „Sealing property is not good, the fermentative process definitely will be affected, might also affect the taste of final malt sugar, but the condition is limited , can only like this” “密封性能不好,发酵过程势必受到影响,很可能还会影响到最终麦芽糖的口感,可条件有限,也只能这样了” Without the means that the limit of existing condition to Yun Jing was too big. 没办法,现有的条件对云景的限制太大了。 Hides the jug, Yun Jing starts to destroy the corpse and leave no trace, the place that in the courtyard lights a fire, the top opened, the trace is not good to erase thoroughly, he goes to the vegetable garden to make the soil to cover simply, carefully did not observe unable to be noticed here to have anything. 把坛子藏好,云景开始毁尸灭迹,院子里生火的地方,灶台拆了,痕迹不好彻底抹除,他干脆去菜园子弄来泥土覆盖,不仔细观察不会被注意到这里发生了什么。 That night, is Jiang Susu inquired in the Yun Jing family/home specially over and over to come the person, because in the family/home threw a vegetable/dish jug . Moreover the meter/rice in rice jar were also few! 这天晚上,江素素特意再三询问云景家里是不是来人了,因为家里丢了一个菜坛子,而且米缸里的米也少了！ Facing mother's inquiry, Yun Jing big feeling headache...... 面对母亲的询问,云景大感头疼……
