I farmed and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 44
The sister-in-law really thought of everything for her.

Since the busy spring plowing and farming, three meals have become the norm at home, with a hearty meal at noon and a lighter meal at night.

After lunch, Jiang Zhi remembered that she left some sugarcane unprocessed last time, she peeled one and ate it, weighed the rest, chopped it into small pieces and threw it into the right nest to make juice, the juice was also weighed, and then Filter out with gauze.

The filtered juice was weighed again. Jiang Zhi took a piece of paper and recorded the data obtained before. The final weight of the juice was six catties and three taels.

Transferring the remaining charcoal fire in the stove hole into the stove, adding two pieces of dry firewood, Jiang Zhi began to boil the sucrose.

The purpose of her doing this is to be able to estimate in the future how much sugar can be produced from the sugarcane harvested from two acres of sugarcane fields.

The data just this time is not enough, and she will calculate it twice again when the sugarcane in the field matures.

The color concentration of sugarcane juice itself is relatively low, and it appears light blue in the case of impurities, not the brown color of brown sugar.

Weigh the evaporated sucrose syrup and put it into a large plate with a shallow mouth, and bring it into the room where rock sugar was raised before.

This kind of natural evaporative cooling and crystallization speed is very slow. Now that the family is not short of money, Jiang Zhi is willing to watch and wait.

I raised a few catties of rock sugar before, and the particles were not uniform in size, and some of them formed a whole piece.Jiang Zhi took some of them and preserved them as mother seeds of crystals, and added a small amount of rice flour to dry and seal the rest.

There are still dozens of catties of brown sugar at home. Jiang Zhi decided to make all these brown sugar into candies and sell them to Zhou Ji grocery store. After that, making money is not the first thing to do.

Jiang Zhi made sugar cubes here, and Ye Erlang's "Hundred Family Surnames" was also engraved, with a total of 410 characters. Ye Erlang carved 52 groups of bamboo pieces in groups of eight, and used hemp rope Put it on and hang it under the eaves, you can see it every day when you look up, and it is also convenient to take it out to study anytime and anywhere, without fear of damage and rubbing off the handwriting.

He believed that he would be able to completely master "Hundred Surnames" within a month.

And this bamboo piece can be used not only by himself, but also by his younger sister and nephew.

In the process of carving, Ye Erlang has learned dozens of characters with the help of Ye Xiaomei.

Ye Xiaomei is hiding her clumsiness, she doesn't want to reveal too much, so I'll leave the rest to Mr. Cun Xuexiu and his sister-in-law.

It was getting dark, and the family fried dried vegetables and drank two bowls of meat porridge at night.

Jiang Zhi remembered that the sugarcane had been planted for several days and hadn't visited it for several days, so she went to prepare to go to the field after eating. She had just walked to the bamboo forest when she found a dark shadow sneaking out from another direction. The figure of the black shadow was gradually revealed, and Jiang Zhi saw that his face was covered and he couldn't see his face.

It's all over, where did this guy come from, and what is he trying to do?
Jiang Zhi used the terrain to hide herself and followed the man.

I saw her looking left and right, and went to her sugarcane field like a guilty conscience.

Good guy, did she not read the almanac when she went out today or something?I met a thief who stole into my house.

Wait until the old lady catches him with her own hands.

Wait, what if the thief doesn't recognize him?I have to think of a way.

Jiang Zhi immediately turned back, called Ye Erlang, and asked him to quickly invite Uncle Ye from the backyard path, and said that he would invite Uncle Ye to watch a farce.

Ye Erlang nodded and went immediately.

Only then did Jiang Zhi continue to lurk, the thief took out a small scythe, opened the sugar cane field of Jiang Zhi's house, and cut off the buds on the sugar cane that were about to be plucked. She had to be careful not to be discovered, so she moved very slowly.

These sugarcane sprouts are still buried in the soil, and it is quite difficult for this guy to find them.This thief, digging the soil, is still talking about it.

Jiang Zhi stood behind the little soil bag, quietly watching this man perform.

From the figure and movement, it is almost certain that this is a woman.

Jiang Zhi's original intention was that she didn't want to see a woman with evil intentions offend her, because she didn't want to mess with women.

In this ancient feudal society, it was very difficult for women to survive. Why do women bother to embarrass women?
Apparently, the woman who was destroying her family's sugarcane field didn't have that awareness.

Jiang Zhi took a glance and saw Erbo Ye rushing over with several people.

The time has come.

Jiang Zhi rushed into the field and held the man down. The man was earnestly cutting sugarcane buds, but he didn't expect to be attacked by surprise, so he panicked.

"Ahhh!" the woman screamed, Jiang Zhi slapped her dumbfounded, and even pulled off the scarf she was wearing to cover her face.

Yo, isn't this the Liang family who wanted to snatch her firewood in the bamboo forest that day?

"Heh, you have the ability. You can do bad things in front of my old lady. My old lady is here." Jiang Zhi stepped on Liang's back, and she couldn't get up even if she stepped on her.

"Jiang Shi, let go of my old lady, let go of me!" Liang Shi lay on the ground and yelled, like an overturned tortoise, with limbs scurrying and facial features flying around.

"Mr. Liang, you came here to be a thief before it was dark. Let me let you go? You just destroyed my sugar cane in my field. Do you think you can escape today? I am not Mrs. Li. Make sure." Jiang Zhi's tone was cold.

Liang Shi shuddered, she didn't read the old Huangli when she went out, and she was caught.

But no one saw it, and there was no evidence to say it, so what can Jiang do to her?
"Mr. Jiang, I just came out to mow the grass and accidentally stepped on your land. Which of your eyes saw that I damaged your sugar cane? Or are you framing me and avenging your personal revenge?" Liang quibbled.

Anyway, she killed herself because she just came out to mow the grass, but was pushed into the soil by Jiang Zhi like crazy, she didn't know anything.

"Oh?" Jiang Zhi almost laughed angrily: "Do you think I'm stupid, or are you stupid?"

I have never seen such a brazen person!
"I came to catch you, so you can run away with your mouth?" Jiang Zhi increased the strength of the soles of her feet, and Liang Shi screamed in pain.

"Sister-in-law, Second Uncle and the others are here. Just now we saw a person digging soil in our field." Ye Erlang already understood what happened, and knew how to deal with his sister-in-law stepping on someone.

The group of people who came saw someone misbehaving in the Ye family's field from a distance, and before they had time to arrive, that person was subdued by Jiang Zhi.

"Second Uncle, all the uncles are well." Jiang Zhi retracted her foot and blessed the few people standing on the ridge.

"Miss Jiang, what's going on? Who is this person?" Second Uncle Ye spoke in a slightly harsh tone.

Some people dare to act wildly in the Ye family's land, do they really think that Ye's surname is dead in their village?
"This person is the Liang family of the Wang family. He came to my field to destroy the sugarcane seedlings when it was dark. Second uncle, you must uphold justice for our eldest family. Dalang has just left. These goddamn people don't like it." We orphans and widows are going to drive us to a dead end."

Jiang Zhi pointed at Mrs. Liang on the ground and complained.
