Kapitel 197: Oil Trouble

Xue Dagui was so angry that he smashed his hoe against the wattled courtyard wall.

He bought 54 kilograms of glutinous rice. There were only two pots at home for making malt sugar, so they could only make 18 kilograms of glutinous rice a day. It would take three days to finish making all the glutinous rice.

That afternoon, the last of the glutinous rice had almost turned into malt sugar without any moisture.

Yu Hongyan was sitting at the entrance of the stove, taking care of the fire inside. Xue Yifu was still busy with the things in the workshop under the shed on the other side. The others were all staring at the dark brown malt candy in the pot. When the malt candy was pulled into a white one, the sugar-making process would be considered complete. The next day, they could pull and plate the candy to sell in town.

Since it was almost done, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had nothing else to do, so they went to the stove under the shed to check the pot.
