I farmed and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 35 White Granulated Sugar and Rock Sugar, Key Core Technologies

Jiang Yu and Erlang had been working all morning, and now they were tired and hungry, Jiang Zhi really didn't have time to deal with Li Shi here.She unceremoniously took the pumpkin and pipa, and went back to the house to get a few cakes, reciprocated the gifts, and promised to visit her house next time.

To bid farewell to Mrs. An, Mrs. An had already ordered the maid to set up the dining table. The maid took a bowl of rice and ate it on the small stool in the stove instead of serving the main table.Jiang Zhi just glanced at it and said nothing.

This is a product of this era. She has no intention of overthrowing the dynasty, so she naturally does as the Romans do.

The food was cooked by An's, and Jiang Zhi was only responsible for laying hands and lighting the fire.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Ye Xiaomei thinks that this dish is better than her sister-in-law's cooking.

"By the way, little girl, it's been so many years, and we haven't sorted out the address, so we can't let Erlang and the others keep calling us Jiang's so-and-so?" Jiang Yu suddenly asked while picking up his meal.

An's support for her husband: "Yes, little sister, today I heard this sister talking about your sister-in-law's natal sister-in-law. I wondered how my name has become so long to this sister? It's weird. .”

Jiang Zhi picked up chopsticks and green vegetables for Ye Heng, thought for a while and said, "I think in the future, my family's Erlang and my younger sister might as well follow me and call my elder brother Brother Jiang, and my sister-in-law as Sister-in-law An?"

"Very good." Jiang Yu took a bite of the cake and nodded.

Ye Erlang and Ye Xiaomei both put down their chopsticks, stood up and saluted Jiang Yu and Anshi at the same time, saying in unison: "Brother Jiang, blessings, sister-in-law An."

"Well, okay, okay. Sit down and eat." An Shi nodded repeatedly.

The little girl has already taken this step, and it seems that she intends to repair it with me.

Thinking of this, An's looked at Ye Heng who was working hard.

Brother Heng doesn't reject her at all.

I hope she can also have a child who is as smart as Brother Heng.

After a meal, Jiang Yu and Ye Erlang continued to plant rice seedlings in the field, and the mess in the kitchen was cleaned up by the maid and Ye Xiaomei.

An's walked around the yard with Ye Heng in his arms, while Jiang Zhi pulled out the seedlings and gave them away.

In the evening, since Jiang Zhi really had no place to settle An's here, a certain sedan chair brought An's back to the town.

Jiang Zhi absolutely couldn't let Anshi share the same bed with her. Anshi was at least a wealthy daughter, and she had wronged her by sleeping with her sister-in-law.

Although An's also wanted to stay, it was just thinking about it.

The next morning, after planting the rest of the field, Jiang Yu also rode a horse to bid farewell to Jiang Zhi. He stayed with his wife all year round and stayed away more often. Apart from taking care of his wife, he went back non-stop to get the sugarcane out of the field as soon as possible.

Once April is over, sugarcane cannot be planted, and it will affect the harvest if planted.

After sending Jiang Yu away, Jiang Zhicai went into the room where Mrs. Liu lived to check the crystallization of sugar.

She filtered the brown sugar she bought last time a few days ago.

This time she decided to make rock sugar, and a small part of the white sugar crystals were separated out with cotton thread.

As for how to make white sugar unintentionally, Jiang Zhi spent a lot of effort.

Taking advantage of Nanny Ye Heng's curiosity about the world, she gave him a cotton thread, and then guided Ye Heng step by step to put the cotton thread into the white sugar water. It didn't take long for the white sugar crystals to adsorb on the cotton thread.As for rock sugar, the same is true.

Ye Heng Xiaowa stared at her big eyes, which were full of incomprehension.Jiang Zhi patiently explained to him, not sure if he understood.

After a night of standing still, Jiang Zhi got white granulated sugar. She made it many times, but only got three taels of white granulated sugar.

The remaining part of the water is boiled out, and then other materials such as clear oil are added to make a syrup, and then placed in a cool and ventilated place for natural cooling and air-drying to crystallize.Salt crystallization requires a hot environment to evaporate water, but sugar is a thing that is afraid of heat.

The process of relying on nature is very long.

Jiang Zhi summed up the technology from the previous round. Boiling the syrup and then gelling can produce all kinds of candies, while natural cooling, vaporization and crystallization can produce crystal rock sugar.

The moment she saw Bai Granang, Ye Xiaomei lamented her insignificance.

So what if she had the experience of her previous life?She can't do anything but play the piano and dance.

The clever sister-in-law found a treasure in the brown sugar.

Originally planning to finish the busy farming season, Ye Erlang immediately left for the county town to quit his job as a carpenter's apprentice, but Jiang Zhi asked him to wait for him for a few days.

Ye Erlang saw his sister-in-law making several catties of sugar with his own eyes. The moment he saw the sugar cubes, Ye Erlang's long-silent heart was also collided and washed.

What a beautiful white sugar, the crystals are transparent, like ice cubes, it makes people look refreshed.

But my sister-in-law called it rock sugar.

After thinking about it, Jiang Zhi decided not to sell rock sugar and white sugar, firstly because the quantity was small, and secondly because she didn't want to attract covetous people.When the large pieces of sugar cane were not produced, Jiang Zhi still planned to only sell the basic white sugar cubes.

The key core technology of this thing is in my own hands, and no one will be able to reproduce it for a while.

Early in the morning, Jiang Zhi watched the three-year-old Ye Heng dress herself up, then put it in the basket, and took Ye Erlang and his younger sister on his back to the county seat.

Before Jiang Ling'an gave her ten taels of silver, which was twenty guan, and then Jiang Yu gave her another ten guan, so now she is not short of money at all.

The money is considered to be borrowed, and will be returned to them later when the piece of sugar cane makes money.

This time Jiang Zhi didn't choose to walk, but went to the town to rent a carriage and a driver. Although the carriage was bumpy, Jiang Zhi felt weak when she thought about how many hours it took to reach the county town last time.

When she has money, she must buy all the means of transportation.

The high-end vehicle for land travel in Daning is a horse-drawn carriage; the low-end vehicle is an ox cart.In addition, there are sweat horses, mules, donkeys and so on.

Now she can't afford any of them.

Forget it, just think about it.It cost her a catty of pork to rent this carriage to the county seat.

The speed of the carriage was much faster than the footsteps, and it arrived in less than an hour.

I still ate breakfast at the roadside stall at the gate of the county seat before entering the city.

The four of them did not go in after being interrogated routinely like last time, but were stopped.

The gatekeeper sergeant said: "The magistrate of the county wants to build a flood control embankment, so every person who enters the county will need one penny as good money until the embankment is completed."

"Huh?" Jiang Zhi didn't expect to have such an operation, but she gave it neatly.

After successfully entering the county seat, Ye Erlang led the people straight to the carpenter's shop.

"Sister-in-law, the carpenter's shop is full of men. You and my younger sister are both women. It's inappropriate to go in. Please ask sister-in-law to wait outside."

Jiang Zhi nodded and said, "Go, we'll wait for you at the old place." Jiang Zhi pointed to the fly restaurant where they ate together last time.

"Hey, the little wax gourd is still willing to come back? Ye Xiaoer, you are so courageous that you dare to be lazy for so many days." A tall boy in a rough linen suit with his sleeves rolled up said at the top of his voice.

Ye Erlang frowned.

It's really unlucky to meet this evil spirit just after entering the door.
