Noon is the main meal, and it is naturally more substantial than morning meal.
The most important thing is the big cake as big as a washbasin!
The cake was placed in the middle of the table, with a snow-white background and a delicately carved fruit figurine on it, which was a miniature version of Pei Ji. There was a circle of colorful fruits around it, which was gorgeous and gorgeous.
It looks like a work of art.
This was made by Xue Huan in the space last night, using all the ingredients from the space. It was definitely more delicious than any cake she had ever eaten before.
There are three candles on the cake, representing Pei Ji's mental age - three years old.
Xue Huan explained to Pei Ji the process of blowing out candles and making a wish. Under the gaze of several people, Pei Ji blew out the candles and made a wish.
Xue Huan took the lead in clapping and singing the birthday song.
Xue Yao and Xue Jun also sang along.
Xue's mother didn't want to make trouble with the children, but the smile from the bottom of her heart never faded from her face.
For a moment, the dinner table was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
After singing the Happy Birthday song, Xue Huan handed the knife to Pei Ji, "Come, cut the cake."
Pei Ji held the knife in a daze, "How do I cut it?"
Xue Huan simply held his hand and cut the cake with him.
"Here, the first piece of cake belongs to our birthday boy." Xue Huan put the cake on the plate and placed the fruit figurine specially carved for him on it.
Pei Ji looked at the cake in front of him, then at Xue Huan, his eyes filled with surging emotions.
How lucky he was to meet such a person.
Unfortunately, Xue Huan was busy distributing cakes to everyone and didn't notice.
Everyone got a piece of cake and ate it happily.
After the joy and bustle of the day, everything becomes quiet late at night, with only the chirping of insects and frogs outside the window, interweaving and passing in waves.
The summer night wind was warm and lingering. Pei Ji changed his clothes and left the Xue Mansion quietly.
North City, the pawnshop of the world.
In the backyard room, Wang Yan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly woke up from his dream and saw a dark shadow standing by the window!
He was horrified that this man could sneak into his bedroom silently. If he wanted to do something bad to him, he would be seriously injured if not dead.
But since he didn't take action, it means he was not here to take his life.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan felt more at ease and stood up from the bed. "I wonder why you came here so late at night?"
The figure in front of the window turned around and said, "Red Crow."
The cry of "Red Crow" was like thunder exploding in Wang Yan's ears!
In this world, the only one who knows his code name is the master!
But hasn't the master already—
He took a few steps forward and saw the man's face in the moonlight.
It’s really the master!
Wang Yan immediately knelt down, resting his forehead on the ground, "Master!"
The master he was talking about was none other than Pei Ji.
The Pawnshop was originally a setup for him to gather intelligence. There were five managers in total, who were in charge of the east, south, west, north and center.
The East is Wood, ruled by the Green Crow;
The South is Fire, ruled by the Red Crow;
The west is metal and is ruled by the white crow;
The north is water, ruled by the black crow;
The central part belongs to earth and is ruled by the yellow crow.
These five people are the leaders of their respective fields. They report information directly to their master Pei Ji and have no intersection with each other.
After Pei Ji got into trouble, the five people kept trying to find out where he was, but they never found him.
Wang Yan, also known as Chi Ya, who was in charge of intelligence in the south, had been neglecting his own base camp, Fengchi County, perhaps because he was in the dark.
At this moment, he was overjoyed to see his master, who had disappeared for several months, suddenly appear in front of him.
"Get up." Pei Ji walked to the chair and sat down, "Tell me what happened during this period of time."
"Yes." Wang Yan stood up and bowed to report the information he had collected during this period.
In space.
Xue Huan and Mu He are trying to make white sugar.
To the east of the thatched huts, a large area of sugarcane and beets has now been planted. The sugarcane grows into a forest, and the beets stretch as far as the eye can see. The air is filled with the fresh and astringent aroma of the plants.
There are two types of white sugar: refined white sugar and traditionally made white sugar. The former is white in color, with fine and soft grains and better quality. This is the type that Xue Huan often used in her previous life.
The latter is slightly yellowish and darker in color, and of poorer quality.
Xue Huan doesn't have the necessary machinery to make sugar now, so she can only use traditional methods.
The production method is roughly divided into five steps: sugarcane processing, pressing, sugarcane juice cleaning, sugarcane juice evaporation and sucrose crystallization.
The first step is easy to understand. The fresh sugarcane dug from the ground still has soil on it, and the sugarcane skin, sugarcane leaves, roots, etc. all need to be cleaned off.
If there is crushing equipment, you just need to throw the sugarcane in and wait for the washed sugarcane to come out, but isn’t there nothing now?
So this step can only be handled manually.
Fortunately, Xue Huan now has certain skills as a cultivator, and can use cleaning techniques to remove all the dirt and impurities on the sugarcane. The remaining operations such as peeling and removing roots are also simple. However, she feels tired just looking at the pile of sugarcane in front of her to be processed.
However, in order to make white sugar and to be able to make more delicious food in the future, she had no choice but to roll up her sleeves and get to work.
Fortunately, she has Muzuru as her capable helper.
After processing the sugarcane, it needs to be squeezed. If there is a squeezer——
Oh, forget it, there’s no point thinking about it.
Although she doesn't have a press, she has a contracted beast, the Moray, which is as strong as a mountain.
Xue Huan took the Five Elements Pearl to Shangyang Lake, put it into the space, brought it back, and let it change back to its original form, so that it could serve as a beast-shaped juicer for her. The mossbeast was extremely strong. With one press of its claw, the juice in the sugarcane would flow out.
The sugarcane juice produced is a very clear and pure green color.
She had seen videos of how white sugar was made before, but the process in the videos was very rough. First, a machine was used to harvest and cut the sugarcane directly from the field, and then all of it was put into the machine for squeezing.
You can imagine how turbid the sugarcane juice obtained in this way is. It is impossible to make it clean. Since then, she has never used white sugar bought from outside, but made it herself.
This is also the reason why she is now confident in making white sugar, because she is very familiar with the process.
Although she lacks the convenient machines of modern times, she now has more means at her disposal.
Just like the cleaning spell that I had performed on the sugarcane before, after that little spell, the sugarcane immediately became extremely clean, almost spotless.
Therefore, the squeezed sugarcane juice does not have so many impurities, and it is much easier to separate. There is no need to add chemical agents such as phosphoric acid and limestone. It only needs to be heated.
After heating and sedimentation, the sugarcane juice is separated from the impurities, and the resulting sugarcane juice is clearer and more transparent than before.
But this is not the end. The sugarcane juice must be evaporated to remove the water inside, just like making wine. The liquid obtained after evaporation will be purer.
Concentration is the essence.
