I farmed and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 94 Imperial Merchant, White Sugar
"Brother, I don't know that there are many children in the village who are very greedy for my sugar cane. I want to give some out, but I can't stand people coming to eat every day." Jiang Zhi got up and went home, Jiang Yu followed behind her.

"So I'm going to write a sign. If you want to eat sugar cane, you can take one for five cents, and go in and choose the thick one."

"Hahaha, my little girl is quick-witted." Jiang Yu praised with a smile.

In Jiang Yu's heart, whatever the little girl does is right.

Today he came to learn how to squeeze juice and cook sugar with Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi took Jiang Yu to Liu's room to see the rock sugar she produced recently, which was purer than the white sugar cubes cooked before.

"It's as white as ice cubes. How did you do it?" Jiang Yu was stunned. He just watched Jiang Zhi cook white sugar last time, but he didn't expect to get such sugar.

There is also white sugar wrapped in paper.

Jiang Yu was even more shocked.

"With this, our Jiang family will not worry about being famous in Daning, and my brother will definitely become an imperial merchant!" Jiang Yu's eyes were full of longing and firm determination.

"The worst thing to do in this world is to do business with the royal family. Brother, you have to think about it." Jiang Zhi heard Jiang Yu's dream for the first time, but this dream was a bit dangerous.

Since ancient times, agriculture has been emphasized and merchants have been suppressed. The status of merchants is the most humble. The descendants of merchants cannot participate in the imperial examinations, have no qualifications to participate in politics, and cannot even wear silk in public. Even carriages are strictly restricted.It is also because he is in the countryside, so no one cares about riding a horse.

Horses are to the people of Daning what Rolls-Royce is to modern people.

Jiang Yu's horse cost him a lot of money.

I heard that the horses that the county magistrate used to ride were all rented from the county horse shop.

Jiang Zhi did not object to Jiang Yuhang, but this meant that the discrimination he would suffer in the future would be several times that of ordinary people.

"This matter has been thought about since you were not born." Jiang Yu didn't say anything else, just smiled.He was several years older than his younger sister, and his younger sister was only conceived in A Niang's belly when he had already known the world.

It's a pity that A Niang died early later, and my younger sister didn't enjoy her mother's love for a day.

"Okay, big brother, just this sugar can make you soaring." Jiang Zhi took out her "planning book" from the house, which is a close-up of her Jiang Group's sugar industry in one year, three years, five years and ten years and vision planning brief form.

The specific details need to be filled in by Jiang Yu's news brought back from the outside world.

She was not idle at all during this time, and even asked Erlang to find Mr. Xiu and borrow Daning Lu to see it.

Although Mr. Xiu is not even a scholar, he is quite well equipped, that is, the legendary poor student has a lot of stationery.

Jiang Zhi got there as she wished.

"It's my younger sister who is thoughtful." Seeing such a clear expression, Jiang Yu couldn't help admiring Jiang Zhi even more.

"Actually, Azheng is also responsible for this." When Jiang Zhizao made the plan, she didn't avoid Ye Xiaomei, but let him actively participate.

Ye Xiaomei is a person who has experienced things. She knows many things that will happen in the future. With Ye Xiaomei's guidance, Jiang Zhi avoided many pitfalls.

After all, she is not a pure ancient. In terms of customs and phenology, she is more familiar with this time and space.

"Azheng is also very good." Jiang Yu also praised Miss Ye.

Ye Xiaomei smiled awkwardly rather than politely.

The eldest brother of this sister-in-law's family only has her sister in his heart, so why praise her?If his sister-in-law hadn't mentioned it, he definitely wouldn't have said a word.

Ye Xiaomei is well acquainted with Jiang Yu's personality, so she won't feel any resentment anyway.

"It says that in addition to white sugar, you can also make candy of various flavors, called fruit candy?" Jiang Yu felt that fruit candy was fresh.

There is also a formula attached at the back, which is to squeeze the fruit into juice, refine it, make it into a pulp, and then mix it with sugar to make fruit candy.

It turned out to be like this.

Then this candy tastes like fresh fruit.

What else can sugar do.

Jiang Yu once again refreshed his cognition.

In fact, apart from fruit sugar, there are various ways to use sugar, and everything Jiang Zhi can think of has been included.Sugar can also be used as a condiment, as well as caramel and caramel-flavored melon seeds... In short, there are many uses.

Jiang Yu told Jiang Zhi all the news he inquired from the states and counties where he traveled. Jiang Zhi only picked up the useful ones and kept them, and then started to operate them.

Although the sugarcane was not yet fully mature, this did not prevent Jiang Zhi from chopping it up and using it.

The first is the operation of the juicer and some common maintenance details.

After the juice is squeezed, it is filtered and impurities are removed. In this regard, Jiang Zhi tried to use activated carbon and lime as two kinds of adsorption materials. Later, she found that the effects were similar, but lime was easier to obtain, so this material was quickly obtained by ginger. Zhi's favor.

A solution of sucrose with lime is added for precipitation.

Precipitation takes time, so Jiang Zhi and Jiang Yu discussed how to make fruit candy.

When the precipitation was almost complete, Jiang Zhi poured out the dark brown sucrose solution, evaporated and boiled it, evaporated the water in it, and obtained a more concentrated sucrose syrup.

This is where crystallization can begin.

To get white sugar, Jiang Zhi used the principle of a small toy like a pull-wire flywheel to make a small centrifuge, filled it with syrup, added the prepared seed crystals, and through centrifugation, the white sugar crystals were thrown out, and then air-dried.

There is no way to dry quickly under limited conditions, so it can only be dried in a dry environment.

And the whole manual process lasted a day and a night.

So it is not easy to make white sugar.

Jiang Yu followed Jiang Zhi and roughly learned the process, and learned the specific aspects after the sugarcane matured.

Anyway, the sugarcane is in the field, and it won't run away.

Only the Ye family knew that Jiang Zhi failed at least [-] times behind her success, and she scooped up a lot of sugarcane in the field.

Seeing the appearance of white sugar, Ye Xiaomei was also very happy.

Jiang Yu left Ye's house and returned to the town. When he stepped on the ground, it was still soft.

The days of prosperity are not far away.

However, the man is not guilty of the crime, and after the sugar cane is completely converted into white sugar, he must hire ten or eight guards.

When Jiang Zhi and Jiang Yu were chatting, they mentioned the matter of moving, and it was only when Jiang Yu got home that he remembered that there was still such a thing.

The little girl is an ambitious person, and she will definitely not be relegated to Yong'an Town. She has the world in mind, and her first stop is Xin'an County.

Jiang Yu thought that if he had time, he would go to the county to find a house with a courtyard for his little sister. It would be even better if there was a shop.

He and his younger sister have discussed that if they want to open their own store, they must not make it cheaper for those middlemen who like to make a difference.

"What? Daddy, are you right? My little sister returned the money?" Jiang Yu was shocked. You must know that Dad visited the little sister on Ye Dalang's first seven days before telling us that the little sister was bullied. The shape is extremely thin.
