Datang Nongwang

Chapter 572
As a southerner, Jin Neishi can be said to be a person of Jiangnan Road.

Under normal circumstances, he must know sugar cane. In other words, he can even know how to boil sucrose.

but.

Li Chongyuan had carefully asked Liu Xiang, his disciple of Jin's servant, about the location of Li Chongyuan's hometown in his previous life, but he knew that there was no sugarcane in Jiangnan Road.

That is true.

At this time, sugar cane was only grown in the south.

Moreover, its output is not high, and it has not even reached the point of promotion.

However, this is Li Yuan and Jin's servant, but they think that Li Chongyuan does not know how to cook sugar, and the two of them are so sure that Li Chongyuan just does not know how to use sugar cane to cook sugar.

There is a saying.

Those who have never seen it, naturally think that it is not easy to make sucrose.

I even think that this thing is complicated in craftsmanship, or that this thing is a tall thing.

but.

Li Chongyuan planted sugar cane from the beginning, originally for sugar.

Not to sell sugar cane as fruit.

Sugar cane was delivered in bundles and stacked together.

The children in the village stared at the juicer all the time, holding a small bamboo tube in their hands, longing for Wan'er to give them a cup of sugarcane juice.

Wan'er ordered the servants to shake the handle and squeeze the green sugarcane vigorously, but up to now she hasn't taken a sip.

They didn't dare to talk too much.

It is their duty to work for their own little lady.

As more and more sugarcane juice was squeezed, Wan'er generously distributed a few cups to the servants who helped her squeeze the sugarcane juice, "You guys can drink it too, it's delicious, very sweet."

"Thank you, little lady." The servant got a glass of sugarcane juice, poured it into his mouth, and immediately felt an indescribable sense of joy and refreshment.

The children who were each given a cup of sugarcane juice were chatting lively again, comparing who had more sugarcane juice.

Even Li Yuan, who had been standing on the sidelines watching the excitement, now had a bamboo tube of sugarcane juice in his hand, and was taking small sips.

The little lunatic who finished his work was dragging a small basket in one hand and a piece of sugarcane in the other, and was gnawing vigorously.

Just as he was passing by the warehouse, he saw all the children in the village drinking sugarcane juice with bamboo tubes in their hands, throwing the baskets in their hands, and throwing the sugarcane directly into the basket, rushing to Wan'er's side wheezing, Looking at Wan'er with two small eyes, "Drink."

"Haha, little lunatic, you are late, there is no sugar cane juice. If you want to drink, you have to get me a fish, otherwise, I won't let them make sugar cane juice for you." Wan'er saw The little madman rushed over suddenly, and immediately remembered the little madman's ability.

Blackmail.

Wan'er is threatening the little lunatic right now.

This is how Wan'er and Xiaowa in the village deal with the little lunatic.

If the little lunatics had something they wanted, these kids would definitely blackmail the little lunatic with all kinds of things that the little lunatic wanted to eat.

The little lunatic is not good at anything else, but delicious.

Of course, occasionally, the little lunatic also has interesting things, such as certain toys.

But for eating, the little lunatic can't stand it.

This is not.

When Wan'er said that she wanted to exchange fish for sugarcane juice, the little lunatic ran towards the edge of the waterlogged water without saying a word.

Seeing the little lunatic running towards the flood water, Wan'er immediately showed a triumphant smile on her face.

Not half a quarter of an hour.

The little lunatic came back with a fish weighing two catties in his hand, threw it at Wan'er's feet, pointed at the juicer, and said, "Drink."

Seeing that the little lunatic really brought back a fish, Wan'er beamed and said with a smile, "Okay, one fish for a cup of sugarcane juice."

Juicing definitely does not need her to do it, it is still handled by the servants.

Seeing Wan'er acting like this, Li Yuan and the others at the side shook their heads, turned around and went back to the small courtyard with the bamboo tube in their hands.

can not watch anymore.

A glass of sugar cane juice for a fish.

This business looks like a real bargain.

This is obviously bullying the little lunatic to eat, and it happens to be used in this way to get fish from the little lunatic.

Fortunately, the little madman had no objection, and looking at his earnest eyes, he knew that the little madman was very willing.

For a cup of sugarcane juice, the little lunatic finally lost to Wan'er.

Ground.

All the women and women are very busy.

After Li Chongyuan looked at it for a long time, he went directly to the reservoir.

For two days in a row.

The sugarcane was piled up like a mountain, and then Li Chongyuan called his servants and began to squeeze the sugarcane juice, ready to boil the sugar.

"Hurry up, big wooden basin, change it quickly, don't waste the sugar cane juice." On this day, Li Chongyuan commanded all the servants, "Hurry up and burn the fire, don't stop, keep stirring until there is no water, then turn down the fire. "

Boiling sugar begins.

The children in the village are more eager to watch the excitement than to drink sugarcane juice.

It starts from the moment the sugarcane juice is put into the pot and evaporated by the fire.

In the air in Li Zhuang, there is a faint sweet smell.

As time goes on, this faint sweetness will become heavier and heavier, and finally it will turn into a caramel taste.

Wan'er moved a chair from home.

Like a little old lady, sitting in front of the stove, while watching the servants filling the pit with firewood, roasting the fire, and inhaling the sweet smell in the air.

But her eyes looked into the pot from time to time, "Why is it still not healed? Fourth brother, do you really know how to make sugar?"

"You will come. Don't sit there with your waist hurting and your mouth hurting. Didn't you see that everyone is busy? You're good, and you brought a chair here. Do you want to be a landlord or a witch?" Li Chongyuan was busy There is no time to talk, but this girl is so good, she still keeps wondering if he can cook sugar.

It is also the first time for Li Chongyuan to boil sugar.

In the previous life.

Li Chongyuan has only seen some old people in the village survive sugar, so he can only come from memory.

but.

Boiling sugar, as long as you have the first experience, everything will be much easier.

But right now, the picture in Li Chongyuan's memory is just like this, there is no mistake in a single step.

As for whether the sugar can be boiled or not, it all depends on the heat and the stirring method.

The daily life of the brothers and sisters of the Li family is bickering.

This also made the children in the surrounding village laugh and laugh.

They laughed, but their eyes couldn't leave the fragrant sugar cane water in the pot.

And this time.

After breakfast, Li Yuan, who had been resting for half an hour, also came to the warehouse.

The golden servant who followed him also had an extra chair in his hand.

After Li Chongyuan saw the little old man, he looked at Wan'er with a broken smile.

One old and one young are really carved out of the same mold, there is no difference.

Watch the fun.

After Li Yuan sat not far from the earthen stove, he raised his eyes to Li Chongyuan, "Yuan'er, when will this candy be boiled? Don't let uncle down."

"Uncle, just wait and see." Li Chongyuan understood that Li Yuan was full of expectations, hoping that Li Chongyuan could really turn this sugarcane into sugar.

The fire kept going.

The servants held bamboo poles and kept stirring the sugarcane juice in the pot to prevent it from sticking to the pot or being burnt.

With Li Chongyuan, the young gentleman, exhorting them from time to time, it is impossible for them to be idle.

Boiling sugar is a tiring job.

At least Li Chongyuan couldn't do it.

Li Chongyuan saw that the people's arms couldn't stand the strain, so he hurriedly called Chuanba to call for some guards to take over.

After half an hour.

The water in the pot is getting more and more watery, and the nearby air is also exuding a heavier and heavier sweet fragrance, which makes the children who are watching the bustle look eagerly, poking their heads together, wanting to Watch how sugarcane juice in a pot turns into sugar.

And Wan'er is almost lying on the earthen stove at this moment.

Small bubbles began to appear in the pot with two eyes, the color was light red sucrose, two restless little hands, wanting to stretch out, "fourth brother, it smells so good, can I eat it now?"

"Eat, eat, you know how to eat. Now is the hottest time, if you stretch your hand down, your hand can directly become a roasted pig's foot." Li Chongyuan saw that this girl was really not afraid of anything, even this was being boiled. The sucrose in it all wants to dip.

The temperature of the sucrose in this pot has already exceeded one hundred degrees Celsius.

The further back, the higher the temperature.

If it is boiled into caramel, the temperature is also the highest, and it can even reach 150 degrees Celsius, or even higher.

Li Chongyuan remembered.

In the previous life, when the village boiled sugar.

A child in a village was greedy, and without the adults noticing, after sticking his hand in, his entire palm almost disappeared.

Fortunately, he went to the doctor in time at that time, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

But even if it is cured, when it grows up, the baby's hands will be white and black.

At this time, Li Chongyuan took a look at Wan'er's appearance, and directly took the sugarcane in his hand and drew it.

If you don't fight now, when will you fight?

That's how this little girl came to be when she usually cooks.

But the present is not cooking, but boiling sugar.

You can still feel that the vegetables are hot and just throw them away, but you can't even throw away the sugar, it's all stuck to your hands, and it's hard not to hurt it.

Wan'er, who suffered from all the pain, pouted and glanced at Li Yuan.

However, Li Yuan didn't even look at her, and sat there with his eyes slightly closed, his hands intertwined in his sleeves, like an old farmer, enjoying the warmth brought by the fire in the stove.

While it's busy here.

Outside Li Zhuang, three carriages came.

As soon as the carriage arrived outside Li Zhuang, the guards hidden in the dark took a look and immediately retreated.

The guard retreated, it must be someone he knew.

It is true.

The carriage didn't stop outside the village, but went directly to the courtyard.

As soon as the carriage arrived outside the small courtyard, a person jumped out of the carriage.

This person is no one.

It was Li Chongzhen who returned to Chang'an a few days ago to attend Li Chongyuan's promotion banquet but did not return to Lizhuang.

Li Chongzhen, who jumped off the carriage, took a look at the small courtyard, "There is no one, it seems that they are all cutting sugar cane. Cousin is also true, such a fun thing as cutting sugar cane is not waiting for me, so I can't feel it all. Back. Hurry up and move your things into the courtyard, and go back to Chang'an in a while."

Seeing that there was no one in the small courtyard, Li Chongzhen guessed that they all went to chop sugar cane.

On the way he came to Lizhuang, the puddles were busy, as long as he looked at it, he knew that he was cutting sugar cane.

After making arrangements, Li Chongzhen ran directly to the sugarcane field.

When he arrived at the sugarcane field, he saw that it was full of women and girls, but he did not see Li Chongyuan, so he did not give birth. He picked up a cut sugarcane from the ground, gnawed it, and asked Where did Li Chongyuan go?

Seeing that Li Chongzhen was also like Li Chongyuan, the women had no airs at all, and responded to him with smiles.

After Li Chongzhen heard the words, he gnawed on the sugar cane and walked back.

On the road.

I ran into the little lunatic who came back from the puddle, "Little lunatic, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you planning to give me two fish?"

The little lunatic glanced at Li Chongzhen, neither answered nor stopped, and walked towards the village with two fish in his hands.

"Little guy, don't pay attention to people. Do you want to eat sugar cane? I'll share half with you, how about you share a fish with me?" Li Chongzhen broke off the sugar cane and handed it over.

Hearing the sound, the little lunatic glanced back at him before continuing to walk forward.

Li Chongzhen saw the little lunatic looking at him, and felt like an idiot, "Little lunatic, what kind of eyes do you have? If you don't eat, you don't eat. What's the matter with me?"

Yes.

The little lunatic gave Li Chongzhen a look just now, and it was really a supercilious look.

Like a contemptuous eye.

Such eyes have never appeared on the little madman, but now, Li Chongzhen's words have drawn the little madman's eyes.

If Wan'er is here.

He would point to Li Chongzhen and laugh, "Cousin Chongzhen, the little lunatic is just laughing at you for being stupid. If you don't drink sugarcane juice, you have to eat sugarcane." '

However, Li Chongzhen didn't know this.

After a while, the little lunatic arrived at the warehouse with two fish.

And Li Chongzhen followed the little lunatic with a sense of sadness.

When the two of the little lunatics arrived at the warehouse and saw that everyone was busy boiling sugar, the little lunatic came directly to Li Chongyuan's side, threw the two fish in his hands, and looked in the direction of the stove, "Little man, Fish, drink."

Li Chongyuan glanced at the little lunatic, then at the fish on the ground, "Little lunatic, the sugar is not ready yet, if you want to drink, drink sugarcane juice first. Take a bamboo tube to scoop it up yourself, I don't have time to help you." .”

As for the fish on the ground, Li Chongyuan really didn't know why the little lunatic gave him two fish, and guessed in his heart that the little lunatic probably wanted to eat fish.

"Cousin, you started making sugar, and you didn't wait for me." Li Chongzhen also quickly walked up to Li Chongyuan, looking at everything in front of him, he immediately knew that this was the sugar making that Li Chongyuan had told him before.

Li Chongyuan pointed at everything, and said with a mysterious smile: "When you come, the food is cold. Now that you are back, hurry up and apologize to your uncle, otherwise, you will not have a good day today."

After Li Chongzhen heard the sound, he looked at Li Yuan who was sitting not far away, and immediately shrank his neck.

He knew that Li Chongyuan said this must be because he came back several days late.

Just last time.

That is, when Li Chongzhen and Li Chongyuan came back from Xixiang, Li Chongzhen returned to Lizhuang after a long time, and was taught a lesson by Li Yuan.

to this end.

If Li Chongzhen didn't know what Li Chongyuan was referring to, then he would have followed Li Chongyuan for nearly half a year in vain.
