"I agree. Elena was the first to raise her little hand.

"I think it's good too. Linda smiled reservedly.

Alice was a little embarrassed: "This is obviously the result of the four of us." And, without Luna's corn, we wouldn't have been able to eat sugar today. ”

"Oh, Alice, don't be modest. This is sugar from Blackstone Castle, and of course it must be made clear in the name of the nobles of Blackstone Castle. So it was decided. ”

Luna couldn't hold back her saliva, "Let's go!"

"It's sticky. The syrup began to settle as she stirred it up with a stick, and Luna scrambled to stir it up and put it in her mouth. In this era of scarcity of sweet spices, the peculiar mushy sweetness of maltose brings a unique experience to her taste buds.

"It's so sweet, better than honey. Luna smashed her mouth, feeling the sweetness spread in her mouth: "It's sticky and sweet, it's a strange feeling." ”

Alice, who had eaten three kinds of delicate sweets in her dream, was much more reserved, and after stirring them with a wooden stick, she began to stir patiently according to the 'instructions'.

Elena and Linda also couldn't wait to stir some each, and each licked it gently with their tongues, feeling the wonderful sweetness lingering in their mouths.

Soon Alice's maltose began to turn white, but she was not in a hurry to eat it, and a wonderful question swirled in her mind: why did the syrup turn amber when boiled, and then turn white when stirred and pulled?

This must be some kind of wonderful knowledge, right?

Wheat kernels and corn, after some seemingly simple steps, make a sugar that is very different from honey.

Honey is an expensive sweetener that even nobles can't eat often, and in some areas where power is chaotic, two minor lords may wage war over honey from a hive.

Now, how much economic value will be created by mastering how to make sugar?

Alice couldn't have estimated, but Captain Mason, the merchants of Arabe, would be interested in the recipe and the steps.

Knowledge is wealth!

Alice now understands the beauty of knowledge.

With admiration for the gods, the maltose that fell on the tip of the tongue seemed to be sweeter and more fragrant.

"Alice?"

The four greedy cats were feasting on the maltose when there was a knock on the door of the workshop and the voice of Leah was heard.

It was dark outside, and in order to eat the maltose Luna, Kayce asked Kayce to go back to keep his father safe and inform him that he would stay at Blackstone Fort for a few days.

"Leah, are you awake?"

After taking off her military uniform, Lia changed into a cotton purple dress and a mink cloak, and her long hair returned to its former fiery red and fluffy, but her face was still a little haggard.

The preoccupied Liya really couldn't sleep well, especially when she learned from Karrick that it was almost late at night, and the four of them were still in the workshop, studying the knowledge of the gods, and it was even more unsteady.

In the middle of the night, the infidels gathered together, and she was afraid that she was performing some evil ritual. So, under the leadership of Karrick, hurried over.

"Hmm. Liya nodded slightly, "Can I go in?"

"Absolutely. ”

Alice smiled and took her hand and stepped into the room, and Carrick walked in full of curiosity. In this workshop, there are always some miracles.

Luna and the others quickly stopped stirring and greeted Leah with a little restraint. After all, she is a follower of the Holy Spirit and has a rejection of heathen.

Leah swept past the immature faces one by one, and in no way could classify them with the evil believers recorded by the church: "You guys, good. ”

However, her gaze quickly fell on the sticky liquid wrapped around the wooden sticks in their hands, and her brow furrowed slightly: "Alice, what are you doing?"

Alice lit up the churning sugar in her hand: "We're making sugar." ”

"Sugar?" Leah looked at the amber liquid in surprise, "Does this look like honey?

"No, it's not honey. Alice shook her head and handed over the churned sugar: "Lia, you can taste it, it's a wonderful taste." ”

"Uh......" To be honest, Leah is a little repulsed psychologically, and reason tells her that she can't touch pagan things at will. But the other party was Alice, her own sister, looking at her expectant gaze, she couldn't say no matter what.

The maltose was handed to her mouth, and Lia's expression was tangled for a moment, before she stretched out her tongue and licked it, her brows furrowed slightly, there was indeed a sweet smell that was different from honey, or it was stronger than the sweetness of honey.

"How's it going?" said Alice, waiting for her feedback.

"It is indeed sweet, as distinguished from honey. Leah gave an honest answer, "But, how did you do it? Was it from honey, or something else?"

"Of course not, it's barley and corn, processed and pressed sugar. Oh, Uncle Carrick, come and try it for yourself. ”

Alice handed her maltose to Carrick, who didn't have so many scruples, took a big bite, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's delicious, it's really sugar." ”

"Barley and ...... Corn?"

Needless to say, barley, a common food, corn sounds very rusty. Leah was a little worried, but not something weird.

Luna's courage was greater and more cheerful, and she smiled, "Your Excellency Lia, corn is a crop that has been passed down from the city of Arabe and can be used as fodder for horses. ”

Karrick, who was enjoying the maltose, chimed in: "I've seen it in the city of Arabe, a golden grain, some people call it golden rice. Those merchants from another continent generally used it as a supplementary food for their livestock. ”

With Karrick's testimony, Leah's heart relaxed slightly, and her eyes looked at the furnishings of the workshop, including soup pots, clay pots, and some barley with young sprouts, as well as a strange metal object.

"What is this?" Leah walked over curiously, "Made of Beska steel?"

Alice stuck out her tongue: "It's a luxury indeed, I used the knight's greatsword in the armory. But it is a tool to squeeze the juice, with which the wealth that can be created in the future can be used to buy more sophisticated equipment. ”

"Wealth, haha. Karrick's merchant instinct had long understood the economic value of sugar: "Alice, are you saying that this sugar can be made in large quantities?"

"Absolutely. Alice had pride on her face: "We have the complete recipe, and as long as there is enough barley and corn, we can make enough sugar." ”

"Really?" Karrick excitedly said, "Sugar is a particularly luxurious commodity, and in Arabey City only the wealthy merchants and nobles can enjoy it, and of course, they enjoy honey. ”

Leah also looked over: "Karrick, you mean, does this sugar have economic value?"

"Leah, there's no doubt about it. This kind of sugar tastes very good, and if we have good enough means to sell it, there will be a big market. Perhaps, Captain Mason is a good choice, the last cooperation has established trust. ”

"Barley and corn...... Turning into sugar?" Ria was curious and puzzled, "Is this what you call the knowledge of the gods?"

"Yes, Leah. The wisdom of the gods is much greater than we have ever imagined, and much greater than we have seen now. The sugar we make now is just one of the simplest of them. ”

Karrick has already begun to imagine the future: "Alice, the wisdom of the gods, is worth a thousand gold. However, with the grain reserves of our Black Stone Collar, I am afraid that we will not be able to produce a large amount of sugar. I think we can follow the recipe of the Poseidon curse, and I believe that the recipe of sugar will bring us even greater wealth, maybe six hundred pounds of gold bars, maybe a thousand pounds of gold bars......?

Leah's gaze was a little glazed, six hundred pounds of gold bars, a thousand pounds of gold bars?

Oh my God, Blackstone Fort has been in business for decades, and I'm afraid I can't save so much savings!
