Making use of Zhao Cheng's training time, Su Yunniang invited Qiao Dayun and the others to clean the bits. Beets can be used to make sugar, and the sugar on the market is even more expensive than salt.
Young beet leaves are picked, steamed in a pot, then dried, can be eaten as a vegetable in winter, beet rhizomes are washed with river water, dried and stored.
The sugar workshop is located in the backyard of the main house. Beets that have been cleaned in the first stage still need to be cleaned a second time, after the roots are removed.
After shredding, remove the sweet juice by dissolving in water, then steam the shredded beets on a hot pan. When the temperature rises, the sugar in the shredded beets will come out again.
shake with a wooden hammer, then squeeze out as much sugar as possible until the beet loses its shape.
The second step is the cleaning and cleaning process. Add lime juice to the juice of beetroot that is dark brown, to eliminate acidity while condensing and precipitating dirt.
Remove the juice of the purified liquid and heat it, then add the lime juice, and the rest of the liquid juice goes back to the next step and condenses into crystals.
While making sugar here, Chao Lang found clay to make pottery, and Su Yunniang drew a tile shape. Chao Lang took advantage of the opportunity to start shooting pottery with his students.
Qiao Dayun and the others prepared a straw, and Su Yunniang discovered the yellow mud and made it into yellow mud water for later use.
Brick-burning kilns have been in use for several months, and Chao Lang's earthenware burner has finally been built. For the first group was the burning of the tiles as Su Yunniang requested.
Su Yunniang prepared a large amount of syrup. After obtaining the tiles, the straws connect the connection ports under the tiles.
The liquid sari is boiled in a pot and poured into tiles. Once the squeezer hardens, it's all sugar.
Pull out the straw stuffing and wet it with muddy yellow water, after the black sweetener runs out all, it will slip.
The white sugar in the top layer is very white and smooth, but the grade will be worse if it goes down, and the bottom layer of sugar on the surface is slightly yellowish brown, yellowish brown, but white sugar at the bottom is purer than white sugar on the market.
After working for such a long time, Su Yunniang could not help his excitement at the sight of pure white sugar.
Qiao Dayun and the others even took turns looking at the sugar inside the tiles, everyone was very excited.
Sugar is removed and graded, White sugar is best stored in beautiful clay pots, and the worst white sugar is ready to be used to make rock sugar.
Melt the white sugar, add the egg white to clarify, remove the foam on it, and sprinkle the fresh green bamboo into pieces for two inches, after one night into rock sugar, and then sprinkle the fresh green bamboo into pieces, the sugar level is also different.
Once sorted, everything is taken out and placed on the table. Su Yunniang invited Grandma Zhong first, and let him see his achievements today.
When Grandma Zhong saw the sugar sand and sugar cubes, he nodded repeatedly, praising Su Yunnuan's ability.
Once that sugar goes on sale, then it's a money-making tool. But at present, the raw materials are not much, especially because the tools are few and simple, so the results are not much, so it is very limiting development.
"Grandmother, after all we can still open up vacant land. Cane can be grown in the mountain, and it is better to make sugar from sugarcane.“ Su Yunniang also thought of this.
With sugar that can be made and the quality is very good, then it is not a problem in the future.
Grandma Zhong knew that Su Yunniang's future was limitless, not only because of his abilities, but also because of the support of the Zhong family, and also the support Qixuan had behind him.
Old Zhao led the people to look at the sugar, all getting ready, because they knew the value of the sugar.
It is now late October, not to mention the heat, but as warm as spring, if the temperature can be maintained then growing sugarcane will not be a problem.
Old Zhao patted his chest: Don't worry, we people can do it, and clearing the empty land is no big deal.
In fact, it was true, these people worked very fast, Su Yunniang followed Qiao Dayun and the others to the mountain when he had some spare time.
Although it is in the valley but looks like a barrel, not all cliffs are as smooth as a mirror. The village is surrounded by sloping slopes on three sides, and only the river side is visible to thousands.
The wild fruits in the mountains were ripe, deep red and pink were everywhere, Qiao Dayun led people to pluck back the fruits, while Su Yunniang was looking for medicinal herbs.
Many plants will also produce seeds in this season, which is a good season for harvesting.
Chao Lang found a large mound near the exit, and next to the mound was a cave covered by weeds. After entering, he was overjoyed, and there was a porcelain kiln inside.
At the same time, there is porcelain clay and pottery clay in it, which is a treasure ground for the burning of porcelain and pottery.
With this place, Chao Lang instantly took his disciples away, and devoting himself to teaching these disciples was the happiness that only they felt at home.
But who would have thought, the porcelain kiln outside would be found only after a few days of use. The skilled Chao Lang found one of his disciples to invite Su Yunniang over.
Seeing this, Su Yunniang rubbed his hands vigorously: Uncle Chao, let's burn the pottery outside for our own use, please, and the porcelain burned here could be sold for a very good price, so we would be rich.
“Nona, me and my student are only responsible for the mutilation, and I don't care about the rest.” said Chao Lang.
Su Yunniang immediately said: Leave the rest to me. We will sit down and talk about how to share. In our valley, everyone can get something for his work. This is all that matters.
Good news comes in alternating. Aside from using old grains to make wine, Han Fengyu also made excellent fruit wine. The wild fruits throughout the mountains and plains became endless.
With the resources available, the old Zhao led the people to help Han Fengyu build the grounds, and the size of the wine workshop had grown tremendously, not to mention the water, it could be brought in for easy use.
While everyone was hopeful and busy, the farm attendant brought a basket of shiny iron seeds back to look for Old Zhao Tou.
"What's? Is there iron? Are there blacksmiths among us? "Ask old Zhao while holding a piece of iron ore.
The one who returned with the iron ore immediately knelt on one foot: this subordinate knew how to forge iron.
“Let's go and find Miss Su, it's a big problem.” Old Zhao headed straight for Su Yunniang's residence with his men.
Iron was the most important resource in the weapon era.Old Zhao's footsteps came, it wasn't in vain: what kind of paradise is this? at first I thought the items stored here were very much, but now it has become too much.
Everyone could find treasures everywhere, and it had to be said that the Great Xia Kingdom chose to live secluded here, it was extremely intelligent.
Su Yunniang looked at the excitement of old Zhao and the others, not to mention how happy he was, there were people who did everything, so he had to go out and take a look, after all, there had been no news of Qixuan for a long time.
Su Yunniang wanted to go out and have a look since the beginning of spring, but there were too many things and was too busy in the valley, so he put it off until now.
Before he left, he needed to prepare more.
