Chapter 577 Sugar Making (7)
After walking a distance, Lin Siyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and gave the package of pastries to the Shen family, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.
She was originally going to look for Sheng Ze, but when she arrived at Cheng's door, she remembered that there was someone else in his house.
Just as she was wandering, the Shen siblings suddenly came out of the house and saw her.
It seems that I have to find another opportunity to get close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
This episode had no impact on Shen Qingqian, and the others just thought that Lin Siyu gave this bag of snacks to thank them for their help.
The next morning, Shen Jun and Shen Shan began to peel sugarcane.
Shen Qingqian was responsible for cutting the sugarcane into small pieces, while Shen Qingman and Shen Qingxiao used a garlic mortar to mash the small pieces of sugarcane into juice, waiting to light a fire to cook the syrup.
Shen Qingning was in the kitchen at the moment, starting to make the first cake in her life.
"We can't go on like this," Shen Jun said as he peeled the sugarcane and watched his two sisters struggling to squeeze out the juice. "We need to ask big brother to help us make something special for squeezing out the juice."
The Military Equipment Bureau has the materials, and Shen Xiao has been studying equipment knowledge for so long, so making a labor-saving juicer should not be a problem.
Shen Qingqian smiled and said, "Second brother is right. That was my original plan."
Once we are sure that we can make high-quality white sugar, we must have the corresponding tools.
"Speaking of this," Shen Shan suddenly thought of something and looked at Shen Qingqian and asked, "Why did you ask me to bring back all that yellow mud yesterday?"
Shen Qingqian paused, put down the kitchen knife, and slapped her forehead, saying, "Look at my memory. I actually forgot such an important thing. Third sister, you do the cutting. I'll get the yellow mud water."
The yellow mud used for decolorization must first be free of impurities, and you can't just mix some yellow mud with water.
Shen Qingxiao asked curiously, "Aren't we making sugar? Why do we need muddy water?"
"You'll know in a moment!" Shen Qingqian smiled mysteriously and went to deal with the yellow mud alone.
Her behavior made the Shen brothers and sisters even more curious.
Strength lies in numbers. One hundred and fifty kilograms of sugarcane were peeled and cut in less than half a day and were now being boiled in the pot.
Shen Qingqian took advantage of this opportunity to find a jar that was larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, broke the bottom of the jar, stuffed the hole with straw, and prepared to use it as a tile slide.
Soon the syrup was ready, and Shen Jun poured it into a jar.
"Okay, let's go eat first, and come back later when it solidifies into brown sugar." Shen Qingqian clapped his hands, stood up and walked into the house.
After they finished their meal, Shen Jun poured the condensed brown sugar into the jar prepared by Shen Qingqian.
"What's next?" Shen Shan couldn't help but ask.
Shen Qingqian looked at the coagulation of the brown sugar and said, "Wait a little longer."
Half an hour later, Shen Jun asked, "Is it ok?"
Shen Qingqian nodded, removed the straw at the bottom of the jar, and was about to pour the yellow mud water into the jar.
"Wait!" Shen Qingman quickly stopped her, "Sixth sister, are you mistaken? This is muddy water, how can you pour it into sugar?"
Shen Qingqian smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, second sister, it's okay."
As she said that, she poured the yellow mud water directly into it.
Shen Qing watched helplessly as the yellow muddy water flowed down the brown sugar.
Shen Qingqian prepared a large vat of yellow mud water and kept pouring it until the large vat below was almost full.
"That's good." Shen Jun looked at Shen Qingqian blankly.
Shen Qingqian pointed to a white line on the jar and said, "Isn't this white sugar?"
