Chapter 184: A Hundred Flowers Bloom (2)
"This is milk, and this bucket is apple juice." Zi Su asked the ingredients to be prepared.

Su Qingqing weighed the prepared white sugar and syrup into the pot, added some water and boiled it on a low fire, and then she poured the prepared milk into it. This ratio is very important, Su Qingqing He specially told the teenagers, "The sugar content can only be kept at about one layer, and it will not work any higher."

The teenagers hurriedly wrote it down in their notebooks.

The temperature in the pot was getting higher and higher, and Su Qingqing stirred it gently. After the milk and syrup were completely mixed, she asked the little girl who was burning the fire to slowly extinguish the fire.

The filled syrup was put into a special container to cool, and when she could shape it by hand, she began to operate it with white gloves.

The rectangular sugar cubes were put into the mold, and after cooling, they were cut into small rectangular pieces with a special guillotine.

Li Yuanchu had asked his subordinates to bring colored oiled paper, and Su Qingqing had asked people to cut the oiled paper into certain small rectangles in advance.She wrapped the cut candies in paper, and a beautiful piece of milk candy came out.

"Taste it." Su Qingqing asked everyone present to taste it.

"Delicious." Su Qingfeng exclaimed excitedly. He didn't come here a few days ago, but he came here this morning to pester his two elder brothers. He didn't expect that Su Qingqing was messing with these delicious things.

"It smells so good." Lian Qiao couldn't stop nodding her head in praise.

"There is no fishy smell of milk." Su Qingshan also began to chew slowly.

This emerging candy bar quickly captured everyone.

Su Qingqing continued her efforts and produced another batch of fruit candies. "Whoever has melon seeds, peanuts and the like also buys more."

"Can those be made into candy?" Su Qingfeng's eyes lit up.

"You're smart." Su Qingqing replied with a smile.

"Is the mint also made into candy?" Su Qingjian thought of what she explained yesterday.

"Right."

"But the taste of mint is too strong, don't waste the candy." Su Qingshan was worried.

"Wait until it's made into candy and you eat it." Su Qingqing smiled lightly and didn't explain.

After a busy morning like this, it was time for lunch in a blink of an eye.

"Let's pick up mother and eldest aunt and go home together." Su Qingqing said to Su Qingfeng.

"There are all female workers there, so I won't go." Su Qingfeng was a little embarrassed.

"Zisu, put some fruit candy and toffee in it, let's bring some to grandma and the others to taste." Su Qingqing ordered again.

Zi Su was also unambiguous, and filled half of the basket with the basket, but Su Qingqing was still not satisfied, so she asked her to fill the basket full.

When they arrived at the factory, the female workers were still reluctant to leave, and everyone wanted to hurry up and rush out more finished products.

"Mother, sister, I'm off work." Su Qingqing entered the factory and yelled.

"Why come here when you have time?" Hui Niang asked after cutting off the end of the thread with small scissors.

"It's almost time for dinner, so I'll come over here. Mom, I'll give you something good to taste." Su Qingqing took out a toffee from the basket, pulled off the golden oil paper outside, and stuffed it into her mouth.

"What is this? It's so sweet." Hui Niang asked in surprise.

"Since it's sweet, it's sugar." Su Qingqing laughed. "Aunt, Aunt, Aunt Zhao, sister, you should try it too." Su Qingqing greeted everyone.

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang and the others put down their work, gathered around, and each of them took one and ate it.

"Oh, that's great."

"How sweet."

"Such a precious thing, let me eat it."

"It's not expensive, our sugar factory produces it ourselves." Su Qingqing explained with a smile. "If you like it, take some back home and eat slowly." She stuffed a big handful for each of her relatives, and specially gave Jiang some more, asking her to take it home for Grandma Luo and Grandpa to taste.

Seeing the envious eyes of the female workers in the room, she was not stingy, and gave a few to each of them.

For the rest, she planned to give some to the princess and Li Yuanchu, and the rest would be her family's snacks.

The female workers couldn't help being overjoyed when they got the candy. Each of them ate only one piece, and planned to take the rest back to satisfy the children at home.

Su Qingqing, Hui Niang and the others returned home, then wrapped two bags, and asked Pinellia to give them to the princess and Li Yuanchu in the yard next door.

Li Yuanchu didn't like sweets very much, but the food was sent by Su Qingqing, so the meaning was quite different.So he also tasted one.After eating, he also understood what Su Qingqing was up to these days.

There is another use for those iron rods of emotion.

"Tell me about your affairs, hurry up." He told the guards around him with a cold face.

"Yes, my lord." The guard lowered his head and agreed, but he was muttering to himself, this lord doesn't know what's wrong, he has told them several times about this matter.

In the afternoon of that day, Su Qingjian brought back some mint leaves halfway up the hillside.The villagers are now watching with curiosity what the Su family is doing.

Many children in the village have been listless recently, crying and clamoring to go to school.

And the sound of reading aloud and the melodious sound of practicing piano from the academy made the villagers feel anxious.

However, after Su Qingqing and Li Yuanchu performed such a scene together, the villagers did not continue to entangle, but everyone still couldn't calm down.

"Qingjian, what are you picking these pungent grasses for?" Someone couldn't help but came over and asked.

"Oh, refreshing." Su Qingjian replied coldly.

"May I help you pick some?" The villagers came over proactively.

"No need, we have a lot of people, and we have enough." Su Qingjian beckoned his people to go back.

Such an inhumane approach caused the villagers who stretched out their hands to be at a loss for a while, and their faces turned red and blue.

Su Qingqing was pleasantly surprised when she saw the mint picked by Su Qingjian. She asked the village aunt who was in charge of cleaning to wash the leaves again and again. Mix it with white sugar, and the first batch of mints will come out.

Because less puree is needed to make fruit candy and milk candy, a lot of candy was made out of a batch of sugar cane found.

But Su Qingqing didn't slack off because of this. After all, sugarcane is not widely planted yet. If only white sugar and brown sugar are made, the raw materials are really too little.She simply kept on doing nothing, and developed a series of candies such as children's crisps, sorghum syrup, peanut candies, sesame candies, etc. Each candy was wrapped in different colored sugar wrappers, so that the sugar factory produced them in a month. The candies are piled up in the preservation jar.
