Once this trip was over, the journey was long, but Qin Feng did not feel bored.
In addition to being accompanied by Jing Qianying and Xiao Xiangxiang, it was also because of the mobile workshop carefully built by Qin Feng.
The three carriages in the convoy each have their own role.
The first carriage was Qin Feng's car, and the middle carriage was occupied by Wu Wei and Zhao Yulong, as well as two accompanying attendants and some salutes.
This tail car is very particular.
Not only is it a full circle larger than the first car, but a large number of workshop facilities are installed inside.
Almost all the facilities that did not use fire or had little fire were stuffed in by Qin Feng. The large wooden box located in the corner of the carriage was filled with various raw materials, not in large quantities, but in complete varieties.
On the way to Changping County, Qin Feng started tinkering in the workshop carriage.
Qin Feng originally planned to build Liuli into the pillar industry of Tianji Camp, but it turned out that he was cut off halfway by Emperor Liang.
The most annoying thing is that the restaurant was also taken away by Xie Yun'er.
As a result, Qin Feng only has the sugar industry and the bookstore in his hands.
Qin Feng urgently needs to expand his trade routes.
Re-cultivating an industry cannot be achieved overnight, and water from a distance cannot quench the thirst for nearness. Therefore, Qin Feng upgraded the original business.
Qin Feng has only discovered less than one-tenth of the potential of the sugar industry, and there is still a lot of room for trouble.
In this era, not to mention the white sugar produced by Qin Feng, even the most common sucrose belongs to the category of luxury goods and is difficult for ordinary people to access.
Qin Feng has broken through the understanding of sugar from frosting to white sugar, but it is not enough and needs to continue to break through!
Next, there are candies.
In this era, there is only one natural candy, honey.
However, honey is so sweet that it is cloying, and it can only be drunk by soaking in water or blended into cakes. There is no comparison with sweet and refreshing candies.
Qin Feng used the raw materials on hand to pour the sugar into the pot, add an appropriate amount of white water, mix well, and then put it on a small iron stove to cook.
After all the sugar has melted into sugar water, continue boiling to obtain a thick paste.
Next comes the most important step, concentrating the sugarpaste.
The temperature needs to be controlled at one hundred and fifteen degrees.
Since Qin Feng didn't have a thermometer, he could only control the temperature by relying on the experience of the heat. He even boiled several pots of sugarpaste before he finally figured out the approximate heat.
As the massecuite is concentrated, add the excipients.
Due to the lack of supplies, Qin Feng could only use local materials and choose natural pigments and flavors.
Add tea to get brown tea sugar.
Add safflower to get red "health candy".
Place the prepared sugar paste in a basin to cool, use a wooden stick to stir, and observe the cooling changes of the sugar paste. When it reaches a semi-fluid state, put on thick cotton gloves, take out the sugar paste, and use a dexterous hand to Use your hands to stretch and roll the sugar paste, and finally cut the long strips of sugar paste into individual sugar balls. Finally, use your hands to form a round ball shape, sprinkle with barley flour, and you're done.
Because the entire process, especially the most important aspect of heat, can only be supported by experience.
It failed five or six times, the scrap rate was extremely high, and the final finished product was also quite rare.
Five hundred tea candies and two hundred health candies.
Qin Feng picked up a piece of tea sugar and threw it into his mouth. The right sweetness, accompanied by the aroma of tea, spread in his mouth. Qin Feng couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy it.
Although it is different from the colorful and dazzling candies in Qin Feng’s impression, compared with the sweet and greasy white sugar, it has been qualitatively improved, giving the extremely deprived mouth a new taste. experience.
Just as Qin Feng carefully cleaned the battlefield, put away the finished candies, and began to write the sugar making manual, a faint "dong-dong" sound came from his ears.
The voice was very weak and could easily be ignored if you didn't listen carefully.
However, because Qin Feng has made too many enemies and is often faced with the risk of assassination, his spirit becomes extremely sensitive.
The sound seemed to be caused by some kind of swallowing action.
Qin Feng frowned slightly and turned around to look at the workshop carriage, but he didn't see anyone.
"It's broad daylight, could it be haunted?"
Qin Feng muttered and was about to turn around when the voice came again.
This time Qin Feng heard clearly. The sound clearly came from under his feet.
"Feet... under your feet?!"
"I'll tell you, is it really a ghost?"
Qin Feng couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, squatted down, and bravely looked at the carriage floor. After a while, he found a small hole.
Qin Feng lay on the small hole and glanced at it. It didn't matter. He only felt a chill on his back, which almost scared Qin Feng to death.
There is an eyeball "embedded" in the small hole, staring directly at Qin Feng.
Then there were two incomparable "hehe" sounds.
Qin Feng felt his head buzzing, and he was so frightened that he ran away from the door and shouted: "Here comes a ghost! There is... there is a ghost!"
At this time, the carriage happened to be parked on the side of the road to rest.
Qin Feng's voice fell, and the entire workshop and carriages were surrounded by water.
Qin Feng hid behind Jing Qianying, hugged Jing Qianying's waist tightly, pointed at the carriage with his other hand, and said tremblingly: "There is... there is a ghost, under the car!"
Jing Qianying held a cold sword and frowned slightly: "In this broad daylight and bright sky, where can the ghost come from?"
Qin Feng stared directly at the bottom of the car, sweating nervously: "How did I know? Even if he is not a ghost, he must be an assassin!"
As soon as they heard the word "assassin", everyone was on guard.
Wu Wei held a gun in his hand, and Zhao Yulong pulled out his waist knife and surrounded him from the left and right to the bottom of the car.
Zhao Yulong vaguely saw a black shadow hanging upside down under the car, his heart sank, and he shouted: "Who is it? Come out! If you dare to pretend to be a ghost, you will be killed on the spot."
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely solemn.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats. Just when the battle was inevitable, a burst of resentful laughter came from under the car.
"Hahaha, it's me, I'm so nervous!"
This voice is so familiar to Qin Feng that Qin Feng is so familiar that he can't wait to set fire to this bitch and burn the person and the car together!
Under everyone's gaze, a young man crawled out from under the car. He was wearing tight-fitting black clothes with a bone sticking out of his back. He was Li Lang, a man from Fuyun County.
Zhao Yulong recognized Li Lang at a glance. He was relieved and at the same time puzzled: "The second son of Prince Ming? Why are you here?"
Li Lang pulled out the "cane"-like bone from his back, pushed Zhao Yulong's sword away, grinned and said disapprovingly: "You can go wherever you want, do you still need to report to me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a roar.
Qin Feng jumped up in the air and kicked Li Lang in the chest, but Li Lang dodged. Fortunately, Qin Feng reacted quickly and almost hit the carriage.
The kick failed, and Qin Feng became even more angry: "It scares people to death, you know!"
