Chen Shuyi was making a fire in the kitchen. After Chu Yi had stirred the yellow clay, he went in to help her add firewood. He curiously watched her pour brown sugar into the big pot and boil it. When the brown sugar became thick, the heat was very important. Otherwise, it would be useless if it became caramel.
"Husband, help me fill the clean tile funnel with straw."
The next thing is up to her to do. After all, with the blessing of koi luck, her sugar-making will be more successful.

Chu Yi washed his hands, dipped a little into his mouth, and immediately showed surprise, "It's very sweet, softer than brown sugar and black sugar."
