When the people of Zhulin Village heard about white sugar, they asked in a daze, "Isn't sugarcane only used to make brown sugar? Can it be made into white sugar?"
Brown sugar is precious, but white sugar is even more precious. If they can make brown sugar from the sugarcane they grow, how can they also make white sugar?
How can one thing be made into two different things?
Shui Qing smiled and explained softly, "Yes, white sugar is just brown sugar with the color removed; the inside is the same."
The people of Zhulin Village looked on incredulously.
They always thought it was made from two different crops.
"We can make white sugar too? My God! Madam, you guys are amazing!"
"How come you know everything?"
Shui Qing didn't elaborate further, only saying, "Come on, let's make the first batch of brown sugar, and then try making white sugar. The fewer people who know about our white sugar-making skills, the better, so we need to select someone to be in charge of making white sugar later."
The people of Zhulin Village immediately straightened their backs and rushed forward to get to work, following the steps Shui Qing had just explained.
They had been to Shanshui Village and knew the business models of the herbal medicine workshop and the toothbrush workshop. The core skills were all in the hands of a few people. Although they were all servants, their indentures were in the hands of their masters, and their life and death were also in the hands of their masters. The masters did not need to worry about their loyalty, but being selected to be in charge of the core skills meant that the masters recognized them.
How could I not perform well!
Looking at the crowd who were in a chaotic mess, Shui Qing said loudly, "You all line up first. Some of the men will be responsible for carrying the sugarcane, and others will be responsible for juicing and carrying the sugarcane juice to the next room to boil."
The women worked in pairs to boil sugarcane juice, one person's arm would definitely not be able to keep up with stirring for more than two hours, so they took turns doing it.
The same applies to sand dredging.
Without needing further specific instructions from Shuiqing, the men and women of Zhulin Village had already assigned responsibilities to each individual.
The host family came mainly to see how they perform. The final decision will depend on their individual performance. Earning anything now is useless; the better they perform, the more useful they will be.
Shui Qing took Yan Qiuxing back to Wanxia to focus on seeing several women.
Observe their strength, dexterity, and even their coordination.
Before coming, I had already inquired about the situations of more than a dozen newly married women from Zhulin Village.
After more than a year of living together, these dozen or so people have long since integrated into Shanshui Village and feel a strong sense of belonging to their host family. When talking about the people of Zhulin Village, they can speak honestly and frankly about each other's strengths and weaknesses from the host family's perspective, without hiding anything.
Even if there are biases, it's okay, after all, there are more than ten people. Just combine the most similar comments and analyze them yourself.
As Yan Qiuxing returned to the late summer, she watched the women working while recalling her mother's teachings.
Boiling sugar is a laborious and time-consuming task. It wasn't until it got dark that the first batch was finally made!
Pour the mixture into the prepared mold. It needs to cool before it can be unmolded. The sky was already dark. What did we discover today?
Shuiqing said to pack up her things, close the doors and windows tightly, and come back to check on things tomorrow.
Dinner was prepared well in advance, and at a glance it was all meat. There were two vegetables at noon, but in the evening there was only one left.
