Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 188 Syrup
Someone has to watch the sugar boiling all the time, not only to watch the fire below, but also to pay attention to the sugar juice in the pot above not to be mushy, and to stir it after a while.

After the fire boils, take out the beetroot dregs inside, filter it with a cloth, squeeze out all the sugar juice inside, and continue to boil in the pot.

Although Shen Jiayan's body has recovered a bit, he has to stir the pot from time to time, it doesn't matter if the time is short, but if the time is long, it will be unbearable.

After Da Zhuang came back from the next village, he realized that Shen Jiayan bought the beetroots to boil sugar, and all the weird things in the west wing room were bought for sugar refining.

Especially seeing that Shen Jiayan didn't hide his intentions in these steps, he was excited, excited and moved. He didn't expect Shen Jiayan to trust him so much, and he didn't hide such things from him.

He secretly swore in his heart that he would always remember Shen Jiayan's great kindness and trustworthiness in his life.

Everything he saw today, even if it killed him, he would not say a word.

Seeing that Shen Jiayan was so tired that layers of sweat broke out on his forehead and his face began to turn pale, Da Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward to take the shovel from Shen Jiayan's hand.

Just now how Shen Jiayan stirred the pot, and how often, he had silently remembered in his heart, taking over at this moment, except that it was a little uncomfortable at first, after a few stirrings, he found the feeling, and gradually became smoother.

Almost an hour later, the beetroot juice in the pot slowly boiled into a brown syrup, filling the room with a sweet smell.

Shen Jiayan took a clean chopstick, dipped a little syrup in the pot, put it in his mouth and tasted it, it was very sweet, it seemed slightly sweeter than the cane brown sugar she had eaten in modern times.

Mu Tianze and the others next to them couldn't help swallowing when they smelled the sweet fragrance.

People at this time, even Mu Tianze and the others, can eat very limited candies, especially when they are down and down, that is, Shen Jiayan has a lot of money recently, so he will buy some sesame candies and put them at home.

In the past, if you bought one or two brown sugar, you would have to eat it for a long time.

Therefore, all the children looked at Shen Jiayan and Guoli anxiously, only Mu Tianrun asked Shen Jiayan while swallowing, "Mother, is it delicious? Is it sweet?"

Shen Jiayan was amused, and motioned for them to dip their chopsticks in some syrup and taste it.

A few children stood on tiptoe, carefully dipped the tip of their chopsticks, and put it in their mouths. A sweet taste filled their mouths, and they couldn't help but smile and squint their eyes.

Mu Tianze was the first to react, surprised and delighted: "Mother, have we really refined sugar?"

In Mu Tianze's opinion, this is already very powerful, this kind of syrup can be sold for a lot of money in the town!
Who would have thought that beetroot could boil sugar?
Shen Jiayan shook her head: "This is the first step."

As he said that, he asked Da Zhuang to scoop out the syrup and put it in the bucket. He could not proceed to the next step until it formed dark particles in the semi-crystallization stage.

Da Zhuang scooped out the syrup carefully, and Shen Jiayan simply left the remaining syrup that stuck to the spatula and the pot for the children to eat, and carried the bucket into the west wing.

Several children cheered happily, even Mu Tianze couldn't help but show his teeth in a smile.

Shen Jiayan guarded the bucket of syrup in the west wing, observing its changes.

It wasn't until dinner that I discovered that Mu Yue made steamed buns at night, served with mung bean water, a bowl of pickles, and a bowl of syrup.

I saw that they didn't eat pickles, but just dipped steamed buns in syrup and ate them happily. They tried their best to sell it to Shen Jiayan, asking her to try it too, saying that it was very sweet and delicious.

Shen Jiayan was quite moved, and couldn't help breaking a piece of the steamed bun, dipped in the syrup that had just come out of the pot, and as soon as he ate it, the soft steamed bun, paired with the fresh and sweet syrup, was indeed quite good.

It can be described as the sum of sugar and carbohydrates made in heaven!Satisfy both the stomach and the brain!

It's also fortunate that this is ancient times, and everyone is thin. Shen Jiayan's body has a lot of deficits, so there is no need to worry about eating this fat three catties.

After dinner, Shen Jiayan went straight into the West Wing Room. Da Zhuang wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Mu Tianze.

Although he didn't know what Shen Jiayan was messing with in the wing room, he could think with his toes that it must have something to do with sugar refining, maybe it was the most critical and core secret, if he didn't go in, how could he let Da Zhuang in?

Da Zhuang originally wanted to follow in to see if there was anything he could do to help, but was stopped by Mu Tianze, he didn't understand at first, but he realized it immediately, quickly retracted his feet, turned around and went to help Mu Yue wash the dishes.

After boiling such a big pot of syrup, even in the stove, the wind blows the sweetness to the next door.

The family of Zhu's family sat in the yard eating dinner, smelling the sweet and fragrant smell, not to mention children, even adults couldn't bear it.

Zhu Damao couldn't help but wanted to climb up to the courtyard wall to see what delicious food the Mu family was cooking, so sweet?
She was slapped honestly by Mrs. Bai, and warned the children: "Be more honest, don't climb the wall, and don't have the cheek to knock on the door of Mu's house! Don't rely on your aunt Shen's good temper, and always It's taking advantage of others! You are not too young, you need to know some ways of the world! Take advantage of others' hands and eat others' soft mouths! Even if your aunt of the Shen family won't ask you to do anything, but the face of your parents still needs you Stop messing around in the village?"

After hearing what the eldest daughter-in-law said, the old man of the Zhu family nodded in satisfaction: "What the eldest daughter-in-law said is true! The Mu family has already helped our family a lot, and taking advantage of such a small advantage is not a bully? You all Don't go! Who breaks whose leg! Do you hear me?"

The old man of the Zhu family has always said one thing at home, and when the grandchildren heard this, no matter how greedy they were, they could only nod in agreement.

Some of the younger ones were coaxed into the house by their mothers, crying and crying with their mouths puckered.

The remaining men in the family were sitting in the yard. After a long time, the boss of the Zhu family said, "Father, the next door hired our cattle. They said they would pay two Wen a day, and they were also responsible for cutting two baskets of grass for the cattle—"

The old man of the Zhu family glared at the boss of the Zhu family; "The folks in the village, you can borrow our cattle for a few days, just to feed the mowing, how can you ask for money? I also saw it today. Our cattle It didn’t take much effort, how could I have the nerve to charge money? I’ve done the math, and the things they took back from the next village were estimated to be more than 2000 catties. Today, in less than an hour, more than 100 catties were ground. , the remaining ones probably won’t take a few days, so there’s no need to charge money.”

"We are neighbors next door, so we should have a closer relationship! Not to mention, in the future, when you may be begging others, it is the way to gain strength. Don't just see the big money in front of you and get lost. Got it! Also, if the next door asks for help, all of you brothers are idle at home, so you can help me, do you hear me?"

The brothers of the Zhu family didn't dare to show their anger, so they agreed honestly.
