Chapter 112
A total of five sugar extractors work at the same time. After a short while, a large bucket of sugarcane juice is obtained, which is poured into a pot and boiled slowly over low heat. Then, an appropriate amount of lime water is poured in to remove impurities, and then the sugar liquid is precipitated and crystallized. , forming, you can get more pure brown sugar.

The newly made brown sugar is a large square piece, about a little more than one centimeter thick. At this time, use a sharp knife to cut it into equal parts vertically and horizontally, and cut it into four centimeters wide and twelve centimeters long. A small piece of small pieces, this is the sliced ​​sugar sold in the market.

The flake sugar is very hard and very sweet. Although the purity is average, there is occasionally a piece of grass-like bagasse that has not been cleaned, but this kind of impurity is very rare, especially when Zhao Liya and the others make it. Yes, the equipment has been improved by Zhao Liya, and the sugar produced is much stronger than the ones on the market.

There are almost no impurities, and the color is bright and authentic brown-yellow. The surface is smooth and almost no blisters, very beautiful!The sweetness is also very pure, without a trace of bitterness.

The big guys started working early in the morning, and at noon, the first pot of flake sugar was pressed and formed.

Zhao Xiang, Zhao Liya and others tasted it, and they were all overjoyed.

The hardness of the sliced ​​sugar that has just solidified and formed is moderate, but it is also very convenient to cut. After discussing with her father, Zhao Liya ordered the masters to cut the first batch of four large pieces of sliced ​​sugar into thumb-sized pieces and put them on a tray. Take it out for the villagers to taste.

The villagers are scrambling to be the first, cheering and laughing everywhere, this is the real New Year's excitement!

"Ah, so sweet!"

"Delicious, so delicious!"

"This candy is much tastier than the ones we bought!"

"I feel the same way haha!"

"It's done! It's really done! Our village has produced sugar!"

"Hahahaha, our village really produces sugar!"

"."

The children were even more delighted. Each of them got a piece of candy and held it in their hands, reluctant to eat it all at once. They were so intoxicated after licking it that they would lick all the syrup on their hands and refuse to waste it.

"It's so fragrant and sweet! It's so delicious!"

"I will come every day from now on!"

The innocence of these words made the adults burst into laughter, and they began to talk and teach: You can’t come every day!This is what the big boss wants to sell for money!
However, tell Mr. Zhao and Ms. Zhao, can you buy some cheap candies for Chinese New Year?
The sugar mill really produced sugar, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief!In this way, their long-term source of income is preserved!
After everyone ate the syrup, they felt relieved, and Li Zheng and the two clan elders started to chase people away.

"Okay, okay, I watched it, I ate it, I should rest assured, don't stay here to get in the way, it's gone!"

"That's right, it's over, it's over, don't get in the way here!"

Everyone laughed, and soon dispersed.

I can't stay here and delay the work of the workshop.When is it not possible to buy candy?Don't be in a hurry for a while.

Everything depends on Lizheng and the patriarch.
In the workshop, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling planned to stay here for a day, while Zhao Xiang and Deng Shi went back first.

Looking at the bustling and busy scene in the workshop, Zhao Liya was really happy.

After a little calculation, she asked Hu Ling to talk, and said with a smile: "According to this speed, we can squeeze five or six acres of sugar a day. We have planted a total of about 320 acres this year. We will keep some seeds and grow more next year. Leave another ten acres of fruit to eat and sell at home, I'll do the math."

Sugarcane has perennial roots. As long as the roots are left, they can be planted next year, and the tail can also be kept for planting.So a large part of the species is available, and there is no need to buy additional ones.

As long as these roots and tails are preserved properly, they can still grow well in the coming year.

Next year I plan to plant about 320 mu of sugarcane. In addition to the [-] mu of perennial roots and tails this year, there are still about [-] mu of sugarcane that need to be planted.

Zhao Liya plans to save more, enough for [-] mu, so that it is convenient to check for gaps and make up for leaks.

Their sugar cane grows well, and one complete cane can grow seven. One mu of land needs about 370 sugar canes, and two hundred mu is about 74000.That is to say, about [-] mu of sugar cane needs to be reserved for planting.

In other words, there are about 270 mu of sugarcane that can be used for sugar extraction this year.

Hu Ling was worried about whether he could make money, so he asked her quickly.

Zhao Liya smiled and said: "I just did the math, our sugarcane grows very well, and the yield per mu can reach about 670 to 270 catties, and about seven or eight catties of sugarcane can get a catty of yellow sliced ​​sugar, eliminating the loss , how come you can get about 18 catties of yellow sliced ​​sugar per mu. Even if it is 6000 mu, it would be [-] catties. If the purchase price of yellow sliced ​​sugar was [-] Wen per catty last year, our quality is better, and there is no bitterness at all. No, the sweetness is more pure, and it’s no problem to add two taels per catty. Calculated in this way, even if you sell pornographic candies, you can earn about [-] taels.”

"Because this is the first year of planting, all the seed books need to be bought, so the cost is higher, but in the future, the perennial roots and tails can be used for seeding, which will save a lot of money."

Even so, excluding all the seedlings, manual management, and even all the investment in land reclamation and workshop building, this year is also profitable.

It's just that they don't earn much. According to this calculation, there are at least 2000 taels of profit.

Next year, most of the cost of the largest head will be eliminated, and the scale of planting will be expanded. There will be no problem at all in earning tens of thousands of 5000 taels in the previous season next year.

You can plant two seasons a year, double the amount, and the amount is about [-] silver.

In the future, we will buy more land and plant about [-] to [-] mu in rotation every year. We can grow soybeans and peanuts, which can be used to extract oil.

Well, is it necessary to build an oil mill?

Zhao Liya has roughly estimated this account now, and only told Hu Ling.

Hu Ling was very excited, rubbing his hands and laughing: "It's still Aya's skill! It was that month when we came here. I thought I couldn't do anything, but I didn't expect to earn almost 2000 taels , Great, really great!"

This is more profitable than in the capital!

Zhao Liya was also a little proud, she blinked and said with a smile: "This profit is calculated based on the price of yellow sliced ​​sugar. I want to try making white sugar, and the price may be higher."

Hu Ling smiled and nodded all the time: "Okay!"

Hu Ling was completely convinced, as long as Zhao Liya said it, he would agree.Anyway, you can't go wrong.

Zhao Liya calculated with a smile on her fingers: "According to the current scale, it will take about forty or fifty days for our workshop to squeeze sugar. After ten and a half months, I will try."

"Row!"

 Ask for a monthly pass
