"Qi Min Yao Shu" records...
Sucrose and rock sugar were available in the Later Han Dynasty, but the quality was very poor.
Until the twenty-first year of Zhenguan.
Li Shimin sent an envoy to Tianzhu to obtain the method of boiling sugar. After the process was improved during the Xianqing period, the quality was improved.
"How can I sell this sugar cane?"
Wei Shuyu stood in front of a stall selling sugar cane, picking and choosing.
"A few... you guys, one penny and fifteen pounds." The stall owner trembled.
Cui Shenji and Fang Yiai don't care how much money you have, they just eat it.
Dare you say we robbed you?
I'll slap you!
"so cheap?"
Wei Shuyu was surprised.
"Master, this price is very cheap."
"The current price of grain is four yuan per dou, which is about three kilograms of grain for one penny."
"The yield per acre of sugarcane is five to six times that of grain, and the price is almost the same."
The stall owner didn't react, thinking that Wei Shuyu thought it was too expensive, so he started to explain seriously.
"Fine……"
Wei Shuyu nodded: "I want them all!"
"Okay, Master!"
The stall owner was so happy that he rubbed his hands diligently: "The little one brought 300 kilograms in total. He just sold 30 kilograms and has 270 kilograms left, a total of 18 kilograms."
"Since you want a lot, I'll just charge you 17 yuan."
"OK!"
Wei Shuyu waved his hand: "Xiao Jiji pays."
Cui Shenji waved his hand: "Pay for the remains."
Fang Yiai waved her hand: "Hold the account!"
Uh-huh.
Everyone looked at Fang Yiai.
There is a tyrant in the Chang'an Subdistrict Office, and every shopkeeper is frightened by his existence.
Won't the debt start again?
"You...why do you look at me like that?"
Fang Yiai replied angrily: "I didn't bring any money. I'm going to Wenyun Pavilion anyway. Just go to Wenyun Pavilion to check out."
"Don't get excited."
Wei Shuyu smiled and patted the other party on the shoulder: "We didn't talk about you either, what do you explain?"
No shit.
The look in your eyes could kill me with a thousand knives.
"Walk!"
Wei Shuyu lifted a bundle of sugar cane.
suddenly……
The body staggered.
Not only did the sugar cane fall to the ground, but the person almost fell down.
"Cauldron, what's wrong?"
Cui Shenji quickly stepped forward to help.
"Can't lift it..."
Wei Shuyu pointed at his pale face: "The disease has not been cured."
From today on, I am a weak and sick person, and I have to pretend to be weak from time to time.
"..."
Cui Shenji was dumbfounded.
Where are you the liar?
When you hit our heads so hard, you can't even lift a few sugar canes?
Wenyun Pavilion.
Due to the negative influence spread about Wei Shuyu, business was not very good.
The boys were all listless.
Just in time, Wei Shuyu called him to make sugar.
The way to make cane sugar is simple.
Peel the sugar cane, chop it, squeeze the juice, and boil the juice...
Finally, stir and thicken, and after cooling, it becomes cane sugar.
"So sweet."
The couple licked the candy and narrowed their eyes.
Now that we have also learned how to make sugar, we no longer need to look for Wei Shuyu in the future.
"Qiqi, why don't you eat?"
The two guys saw Wu Qiqi staring at the cane sugar without eating it, and their eyes showed doubts.
"dislike."
Wu Qiqi didn't like it: "This cane sugar is too ugly, not as good-looking as a lollipop."
Take a look at both goods.
you do not say……
Sucrose is the color of shit.
We are god-based bosses.
When you go out with a shit-yellow candy in your mouth, do you still want to lose face?
The two goods suddenly felt that the sugar in their mouths was no longer sweet.
"Cauldron, doing it..."
"Yes, yes, brother, this sucrose is such a loss of points."
The two goods were also making noises from the sidelines.
Snapped.
Snapped.
Wei Shuyu's backhand was a fool's errand: "Stop talking nonsense, I won't be able to shut your mouths if you eat some."
"It's because Qiqi doesn't like it..."
The two guys covered their heads in grievance.
well.
Wei Shuyu glanced at Wu Qiqi.
After all, she is her future wife.
After all, it helped me so much.
Let's study it further.
"Get some yellow mud."
Wei Shuyu ordered.
"Cauldron, you're still playing with mud."
Cui Shenji couldn't help but say something with sugar in his mouth.
"Stop talking nonsense, just go when I ask you to go..."
"oh oh……"
The two guys went off to find Huang Ni.
When I came back, I was covered in mud, as if I had rolled in the mud several times.
"I asked you to get some yellow mud, why did you go there?"
"You don't know Cauldron."
Cui Shenji clenched his fists and said indignantly: "I finally found a pile of yellow mud, and there turned out to be a dog!"
"It keeps barking."
"Can you bear it?"
Wei Shuyu's three views were really subverted.
We can understand your stubbornness.
You can't get along with a dog...
I really doubt your IQ.
"So you got into a fight with a dog?"
"yes."
Cui Shenji lowered his voice thiefly: "The remains are dealing with wealth, let's eat dog meat tonight."
That's it!
A smile suddenly broke out on Wei Shuyu's face.
Patting Cui Shenji on the shoulder: "Good fight, wonderful fight..."
"hey-hey."
Cui Shenji smiled mischievously.
Wei Shuyu looked at Huang Ni...
Cane sugar is too yellow, right?
Then we will make it into white sugar for you, crystal clear!
It happened to be a previous life.
Wei Shuyu came across a sugar-making video when he was browsing on his mobile phone, and he watched it carefully.
Yellow mud water pouring sugar method.
After boiling the sugar cane into juice, Wei Shuyu wrapped it in a layer of silk cloth...
Then the yellow mud water was poured down.
Then use two wooden basins and pour them back and forth.
"Big pot, can you eat the candy made like this?" Cui Shenji expressed doubts.
"Sure it can!"
Wei Shuyu said confidently.
After one stick of incense...
Cui Shenji dipped his hand into it and put it in his mouth.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
"Where's the sugar?"
"Why is it all mud?"
Um?
Wei Shuyu, who did not believe in evil, also dipped a little in his hand.
The result was no exception, it was all mud.
Where is my candy?
Wei Shuyu was dumbfounded.
"Big pot, you're not cheating on me, are you?" Cui Shenji said suspiciously.
Snapped.
Wei Shuyu's backhand is just a fool.
"There must be something wrong with your yellow mud."
"..."
What could be wrong with yellow mud?
Don’t they all look like this?
Cui Shenji covered his head in grievance.
Ignoring Cui Shenji, Wei Shuyu tried several more times.
Finally got it done once.
"See, there's candy."
Uncle Wei had a smile on his face.
Cui Shenji stared at the three or five grains of sugar on the silk cloth, his eyes widening.
"The cauldron, this... this stuffing between the teeth is not enough."
"..."
The corner of Wei Shuyu's mouth twitched: "Wouldn't it be enough to try a few more times?"
"But this candy is as big as an ant, how can you eat it?" Cui Shenji muttered.
"If you boil the fine sugar in water, won't it turn into large pieces of white sugar again after cooling?" Wei Shuyu cursed.
"is that so?"
Cui Shenji scratched his scalp: "But the big pot, the sugar production speed is too slow."
Wei Shuyu was stunned.
The method of pouring sugar with yellow mud water is indeed a bit slower.
The main reason is that I don’t have the tools and I don’t know the tricks.
Don't panic.
In the original video, there was another way to make white sugar...
Activated carbon makes sugar!
Wei Shuyu walked aside and took out a piece of charcoal from the bottom of the cauldron.
The key is to get activated carbon first...
Clean the charcoal, grind it into fine powder and air-dry it. Then put the fine charcoal into a bag, put it in a pot, pour in water and lemon juice and soak it.
After one day and another three hours of heating, the activated carbon will be produced.
Of course... Datang didn't grow lemons.
The existing ones were all imported from Persia and are too rare and expensive.
But I can barely use vinegar instead.
After the activated carbon is produced, boil the sugar cane juice and pour some activated carbon directly into it to absorb all the impurities and pigments on the sugar cane.
Then it simmers for a while, and what comes out after cooling is crystal clear white sugar.
"okay."
Wei Shuyu clapped his hands and said, "That's it for today."
"When the activated carbon comes out tomorrow, I promise to show you what crystal clear white sugar is!"
Wei Shuyu is quite confident.
However……
Cui Shenji still maintained a skeptical attitude.
"Big pot, this one is made of both yellow mud and charcoal..."
"Is the candy made from this thing really edible?"
Snapped.
Wei Shuyu's backhand was a fool's errand.
"You know shit."
Wei Shuyu scolded: "After absorbing the impurities and pigments on the sugar cane, it will only become cleaner than the original."
"That's it..."
Cui Shenji nodded: "Great pot, please work hard. I'll wait for your good news."
Um?
This tone, this tone...
Am I your fucking little brother?
Bang bang bang bang...
Wei Shuyu went straight for a series of shots.
Cui Shenji was photographed autistic on the spot.
