Chapter 137 Are You Two Making Sugar?
in the courtyard.

The surrounding cameras have already been set up.

There are several large pots in the middle of the yard, and a simple sugar cart designed by Ye Luo in the corner.

Director Zhao and the others also came back with the collected raw materials.

There are four kinds of sweets that Ye Luo needs to boil, brown sugar, white sugar, rock sugar and caramel. These four kinds of sweets use quite a lot of ingredients.

Director Zhao and the others hired a car to bring them all back.

A large pile of sugar cane, sugar beet, and some sweet potatoes, corn.

In fact, the ancient sugar making process is similar to the modern sugar making process, and the raw materials are basically the same from ancient times to the present.

As the saying goes, the south is sweet and the north is sweet. Due to the restrictions of transportation and climate in ancient times, the raw materials for making sugar in the south are basically sugar cane, while the north is sugar beet.

Of course, the sugarcane category here is different.In ancient times, sugarcane was divided into two types. The kind of sugarcane we usually eat was called "fruit cane" and was not used as a raw material for sugar production.The ones specially used to make sugar are called "sugar cane".Compared with the two, the stalk of fruit cane is thick and soft, and contains less plant fiber, which is not easy to scratch the mouth.Sugar cane is much thinner, shaped like a reed, with a firm and sharp skin, but has a high sugar content, so it is mostly used to make sugar.

With the development of agricultural technology, there are feed sugarcane, energy sugarcane and fiber sugarcane in modern society.

As for the sugar beets grown in the north, there are also many kinds.Depending on the type, it can be used not only to make sugar, but also to be used as medicine, and even to make pigments, wine, etc. Its shape is similar to that of a big carrot.

At this point, the camera is already on.

Some young guys from the program group are helping to move raw materials to the yard.

Ye Luo was lighting a fire here, Director Zhao came over and asked, "Mr. Ye, is there any business for us?"

"Yes, you cut the sugar cane into small pieces, and then squeeze the juice over there." Ye Luo said.

"How much?" Director Zhao asked.

Ye Luo glanced at over a dozen sugar canes over there, and said intentionally, "Just the right amount."

When Director Zhao heard this, he almost lost his hair!
Just the right amount of God!

Director Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "No! You have to say the number!"

The cameraman is also an old hand, and the camera can be aimed at Director Zhao's face. His expression changes from reluctance to reluctance and now gnashing of teeth are not lost at all.

Ye Luo smiled, stopped teasing him, and said, "You and Director Deng can squeeze five sugar canes each." Mr. Zhao and the others bought good quality sugar cane, and ten sugar canes would probably be enough.

"Five per person, right? OK!"

Director Zhao thinks this is okay!

Not too much!

Greeting Director Deng, one person took a few sugar canes and went to the wall to peel them.

In fact, whether it is a modern method or a classical technique, there are ways without peeling.

For example, Song Yingxing recorded in "Tiangong Kaiwu", the kind of sugar cart used to extract sugarcane juice in Guangdong and Fujian. There are two large solid wooden rollers on the upper and lower sides. Put the whole sugarcane into these two rollers. In between, the squeezed juice flows directly into the wooden barrel below.This is actually the prototype of the modern sugarcane field juicer, but the equipment at that time was relatively simple and the juice extraction efficiency was relatively low.Moreover, the restoration of this kind of sugar car is a little more difficult, and Ye Luo did not take such a method.

The sugar cart Ye Luo made is relatively simple.A round wooden barrel with a square meter and a half is used to fix it on a low chair, about [-] cm above the ground. There are four small holes around the side and bottom of the wooden barrel, and hollow bamboo tubes are inserted in the small holes to guide the flow.

When using, you only need to put the cut sugarcane pieces into the wooden barrel, and pound them back and forth with a round wooden pestle.

This kind of sugar cart is similar to a stone sugar cart, but its structure is much simpler than that of a stone sugar cart.

Although the speed is relatively slow, the juicing effect is very good, and it can basically squeeze out the juice in the sugarcane.Moreover, the sugarcane juice extracted in this way is also relatively clean.

Of course, it's just a bit of a hassle.

Soon, Director Zhao and Director Deng started pounding each other with wooden pestles.

Here, Ye Luo didn't stay idle after lighting the fire.

Call Tang Rou and start teaching her how to handle malt and sweet potatoes.

"Chop the malt as much as you can."

Malt, sweet potatoes, and glutinous rice are all used to make maltose, which is also called maltose now.

For the convenience of shooting, the chopping board was also moved to the yard.

Ye Luo and Tang Rou stood side by side in front of the chopping board, "Wash the sweet potatoes and cut them into slices."

"Is that all?" Tang Rou asked.

"You cut it first." Ye Luo said.

Tang Rou nodded, bent down and picked up a large handful of newly released malt, and spread it on the chopping board.

Picking up the kitchen knife, there was almost no hesitation, and he cut it very skillfully.

"bang bang bang ~"

Tang Rou focused on the chopping board, seeing how she used a kitchen knife, she was definitely not a novice!

Especially after cutting the malt, when cutting the sweet potato slices, the knife looks a little surprised.

Professional!
This Tang Tianhou definitely has a lot of cooking!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a neat knife work!
Thinking that Tang Rou, a queen, can still cook?

Everyone felt a little weird.

Not to mention Tang Rou is the queen of the day, even ordinary girls don't know how to cook, right?
But the fact is right in front of your eyes, not only do you know how to do it, but you also seem to be very proficient!
Pure magical realism!

After a while, Tang Tianhou finished processing these raw materials according to Ye Luo's request.

Chopped malt, sliced ​​sweet potatoes.

"Steam the sweet potatoes, and steam the glutinous rice by the way."

The production process of caramel is relatively simple, and the steps have not changed much since ancient times.

Stir the steamed sweet potato, glutinous rice and chopped malt together, then set aside to ferment for four or five hours, drain the fermented rice soup, and boil the rice soup until it can be Drawing is basically fine.

The process is not complicated to say, but it requires patience in operation.

A total of four large pots were set up in the yard.

There are three pots connected together in the middle of the yard, which are used by Yeluo to make sugar.Another pot stands on the edge of the yard. At this time, the bottom of the pot has been lit and can be used to steam red vegetables and glutinous rice.

Ye Luo and Tang Rou set up the steamer together, and the preparation of the caramel was almost done.

Tang Rou clapped her hands and asked, "Are we waiting like this now?"

Ye Luo said: "It's just caramel." As he said that, he turned his head and glanced at Director Zhao and the two who were still squeezing the juice. He estimated that they would take a while, so he said to Tang Ju: "Let's deal with the beetroot first. Bar."

The beetroots Mr. Zhao and the others bought are quite large, and each one weighs nearly two catties. For such beetroots, only three of them can make a catty of sugar.

Ye Luo picked three beetroots, washed them, put them on the cutting board, and said to Tang Ju, "Just cut them into strips."

"Ah."

Tang Rou nodded, and acted according to what Ye Luo said.

Ye Luo watched from the side, and had to say that Tang Datian Empress Jedi is a model of living in the hall and kitchen.On the stage is a music superstar sought after by thousands of people, and in the kitchen is still a beautiful cook who can steam and cook well.Although it's thirty this year, it doesn't matter.If anyone can marry Tang Tianhou back home, he will really save the Milky Way in his previous life!
Thirty, only five years older than me!

The care they take is similar to that of a 25-six little girl!
The problem is not very big, no, it should be said that this is not a problem at all!
Female junior, holding gold bricks.Female Big Five, win the Queen Mother!
Ye Luo looked at Tang Rou, and began to think of some messy things in her mind.

"Ms. Ye, hair..." Tang Rou suddenly stopped what she was doing, looked up at Ye Luo and said something.

"Huh?" Ye Luo was taken aback, hair?what hair?Ye Luo didn't even react.

Tang Rou signaled with her eyes that the hair on her forehead had blocked her eyes just now, but now her eyelashes are fighting with her bangs.Tang Tianhou had beetroot juice all over her hands, which was inconvenient.

Ye Luo understood, and touched her with her hand.

Seeing that Tang Rou's hair was loose, Ye Luo said, "Have you got a rubber band? Shall I tie it up for you?"

Tang Rou glanced at him, but did not refuse, "Yes, that's fine. The rubber band is in my pocket." As she spoke, Tang Rou looked at her right trouser pocket.

This?
Shall I take it myself?

If you want to do this, brother, you are welcome!
Ye Luo didn't hold back at all, Tang Tianhou had already said, so she was afraid of a fart?

Walking to Tang Rou's side, he put his hand into her trouser pocket, felt for a while, and felt the rubber band.

A black velvet rubber band is very simple and has no other decorations.

It can be seen that Zhao Xiaotao's assistant has almost no decorations.

Tang Rou even had to bring her own rubber bands!

However, the trouser pocket lining of jeans is relatively thin!
Although Ye Luo didn't fumble around, the fabric inside the trouser pocket is indeed relatively thin!
And this position card is also very good.

Tang Rou glanced at him expressionlessly, Ye Luo coughed lightly, but said nothing.

Coming behind Tang Rou, she pulled up her hair and tied it together.

"Don't you know how to tie a ponytail?" Tang Rou asked in a low voice.

"will not."

"Have you ever pierced a girlfriend before?"

"Ex-girlfriend? It's been too long, I've forgotten both men and women."

"Hehe." Tang Rou smiled but ignored him.

The two of them were muttering while cutting vegetables.

Zhao Xiaotao was on the side, holding his mobile phone and clicking on the two of them, with an auntie smile on his face.

……

Ye Luo and Tang Tianhou chatted passionately, but on the other side, Director Zhao and Director Deng, who were squeezing the juice, were going to be exhausted from the meeting.

This is so exhausting!
They both felt that their arms were no longer their own.

"Ms. Ye is really too much! Our two brothers are exhausted here, and he flirts with Tang Tianhou over there? Look, he's already done it? Where are you going to touch it? And tie your hair? This It’s a video recording! Is this something that can be broadcast? I really admire him!”

Director Zhao's eyes turned green with envy, and he complained unceremoniously at Ye Luo, "Ms. Ye is making sugar? I'm too embarrassed to point him out! Bah! Disgraceful!"

Director Deng also curled his lips enviously, "The two of them are not making sugar, I think they are going to release sugar! Mrs. Ye's "Sweet as a Sweet" is a good name!"

"But let's talk about it. I think Tang Tianhou and Yelaoshr are a good match. Although Yelaoshr is not a high-ranking celebrity in the entertainment circle, he is a great writer of the day! His status is not worse than Tang Rou's, right?"

"See how you compare, the current world, haha." Director Deng shook his head, did not continue to say anything on this topic, but said: "However, Tang Tianhou is too cold-tempered, and ordinary people can't stand it. I don't think Teacher Ye can do it either, since Tang Tianhou has debuted for ten years and has never been in a relationship, can Teacher Ye take her down?" He shook his head as he spoke, "I think it will be difficult."

But Director Zhao didn't see it that way, "Empress Tang must be interested in Yelaoshi, or else she could let Yelaoshi tie her hair? Did you touch your butt just now?"

"Ah? Did you touch it? Why didn't I see it?" Director Deng widened his eyebrows.

"Nonsense! I can see it clearly! Teacher Ye stretched out his hand stealthily! I didn't expect that my brother Ye looked at a handsome man, and he was like this..."

"You can pull it down! People are digging out their pockets, okay? What kind of yellow eyes are you?"

"Take out your pocket? Is it? It doesn't look like it!"

If these two elderly men gossip, it would be quite terrifying.

Even the elder brother who was in charge of taking pictures of the two of them couldn't listen any longer, "Mr. Zhao, Director Deng, my machine is on!"

"Then you won't shut it down? You come here and make trouble!"

Director Deng couldn't handle Ye Luo, but his camera crew still managed to pinch Ye Luo.He was so tired that he really didn't want to move at all.Damn, in the next episode of the show, I must find some big grievances to come over and replace me.

Director Zhao also said: "It's okay, you delete this paragraph first, and delete it now." Does he know that if this paragraph gets out, he and Director Deng will probably disappear immediately.It's okay to arrange Ye Luo behind the scenes, but they really can't afford to mess with Tang Tianhou's background.

By the time the sugarcane juice is almost ready, the glutinous rice and sweet potatoes have already been steamed and cooled.

Stir mashed sweet potatoes with malt and glutinous rice.

However, Tang Tianhou was a girl after all, she couldn't do this kind of work alone.

Seeing this, Ye Luo also got started, and the two of them stirred together.

To be honest, the camera brother doesn't know how to shoot this meeting.

Knowing that you are making sugar, those who don't know think you are here to put on this show of affection!
What is this all about?
Are Teacher Ye and Tang Tianhou already together?
Is this hair tied and hand-stirred?

Can this thing be recorded?

Everyone in the camera crew wondered if they came to the wrong set today!
Moreover, there are Tang Rou's fans here, and the way they look at Ye Luo has changed a bit.

These two people have interacted on Weibo before, and today they come out like this again, it can't be true, right?

But Ye Luo and Tang Rou didn't forget what today's theme is. After all these preparations were done, Ye Luo began to formally teach Tang Rou how to make syrup.

Making syrup is basically manual work, and Ye Luo also did it himself.

Basically, Tang Rou was on the sidelines, and Ye Luo explained to Tang Rou while operating.

There are relatively few steps to boil brown sugar with sugarcane juice, boil the sugarcane juice into a paste, and then skim off the impurities.

As for the white sugar, it is necessary to add several processes on top of the brown sugar, the most important of which is to drizzle the sugar with yellow mud water.The so-called yellow muddy water literally means that the turbid muddy water is used to absorb the pigment in the brown sugar, and it can also neutralize the acidity of the brown sugar to a certain extent, which is somewhat similar to the role of lime.

Of course, Ye Luo also showed the specific tools and steps used one by one.Ye Luo's method of using yellow mud water to drizzle sugar this time is the process recorded in "Tiangong Kaiwu", the process of making white sugar with coagulated icing sugar in an earthen pot.

As for caramel and rock sugar, we have to wait a little longer to make them.

Speaking of which, Tang Tianhou really wanted to taste the taste of these candies made by herself.Especially brown sugar, which is a good thing for women.
