Upon hearing these words, Shopkeeper He beamed even brighter. "I'll have the kitchen try it out today."

"Sir, I will come to see you again when I have more new dishes," Qiao Xiaomai said further.

Qiao Xiaomai responded with a bright smile. She would bring tofu over tomorrow!

Maltose is not as sweet as sugar, but due to the lagging sugar production technology of this era, sugar was expensive and maltose was what commoners ate.

However, for the Qiao Family, even maltose was a rare treat.

Other than the occasional wild fruit they could pick in the mountains, the Qiao Family rarely tasted sweetness throughout the year.
