In the past few days, Shu Jin has been really busy.

The corn lentils and various fruits that are picked from the valley are not bad, after all, the valley is a small place, and there is only a lot to grow. What really consumes effort is the things in the space.

What she likes to eat, what she thinks can be made and eaten, and what she thinks can be used, all of them are planted in batches, and she also finds opportunities to harvest batch after batch. Time in space is faster than real time has always been, so many things have been planted and harvested many times. Although Shu Jin said that there was only one person, he had been working non-stop for two months, and the harvest had accumulated to this day, which was also a large number.

For example, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, sugar beets, which are already very high-yielding, have been saved a lot. These things don't break in space, but just leaving them there doesn't fit her original intention.

It's just that her strength alone is really limited, and she wants to deal with it all by herself. I'm afraid I'm going to be exhausted. So, she's been thinking about it. Now, though, is not the time.

This time up the mountain, Shu Jin finished picking the last batch of corn and potatoes in the valley and entered the space.

I first went to take a shower, then found a comfortable lounge clothes to change into, and went to the computer to look up the information.

If she wants to solve the problem most now, it is still the problem of sugar.

In today's dishes, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar are the main seasonings, but there are not many dishes that use sugar. Take Shu Jin's cooking as an example, when she makes braised dishes, she often uses sugar to flavor and color. This habit is not found in the average chef in this era. The main reason for this is that the dishes of this era are mainly steamed, there are almost no stir-fried dishes, and the stews are not very authentic.

When it comes to sugar, people nowadays think that it is used to soak in water or make pastries. However, as a modern person, white sugar is indispensable in cooking seasoning.

However, at this time, there was no white sugar, not even rock sugar.

The syrup made by Shu Jin with beets has a unique flavor when used in pastries, but this thing affects the taste when used in dishes. Therefore, if Shu Jin is cooking, he still uses maltose syrup every time.

Shu Jin has been immersed in cooking for many years, and there are countless recipes in his head, but, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. Without the seasoning, no matter how delicious it is, you can't cook it, right? Shu Jin knew that there was a method of making sugar from earthwork, but that was just an accidental encounter in junior high school in the previous life, and she didn't know much about it, and now, she has almost forgotten it.

That's why she thought of it, and looked it up on Starfire's supercomputer. There are so many things in this computer that she may be able to find what she needs.

Sure enough, after searching for a while, she found several ways. After reading it a few times and jotting down the key points, she plans to experiment with it. However, she doesn't have the tools she needs now, and she needs to hire someone to build them, and she can't start right away.

Shu Jin found a piece of paper, drew a simple sketch, drew all the utensils that needed to be built, and then searched for other materials, and browsed for a rest.

Before leaving, Shu Jin stood in front of the villa and looked back at the large row of buildings behind the villa in the space. So far, Shu Jin has used and entered, only the one with seeds, and the fresh-keeping building with the preservation function, and she has never seen the others. Because the permissions are not enough.

I have to say that Shu Jin, who has experienced the end of the world, is really not very curious.

I'm afraid that if you replace any of them, you will already be in a hurry to run through several buildings, right? However, even if he didn't go in, Shu Jin knew that there must be a lot of wealth there, not gold, silver and jewelry, but it must be something very valuable. So, when she was fledgling and unsure of what she could do to protect those treasures, she decided not to explore.

Turning his head, he picked up his energy, and in a blink of an eye, Shu Jin cut some bamboo in the valley, tied it and carried it, and then carried the basket on his back and returned to his home in Shanning Village with the picked things.

Chai Yanfeng had already dealt with all the things to be dealt with, and was sitting in the corner of the room at the moment, holding a bamboo stick in his hand and writing on the ground.

On weekdays, if the two of them are fine, they take a book and practice writing on the sand according to the words on the book.

"Coming back?" Seeing Shu Jin coming back, Chai Yanfeng put down the things in his hand, pushed the wheelchair over, and helped take the things in Shu Jin's hand. Seeing Shu Jin chopping some bamboo back, he was a little surprised, thought about it and asked:

"Do you want to make firecrackers when you get these bamboos back?"

It's no wonder that Chai Yanfeng guessed like this, after all, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, although it is not as important as the New Year's Festival, but it is also a big festival. If Shu Jin wants to set off a firecracker, it's still in the past.

"No, I was trying to see if I could make a new wine."

"New wine?" What is the relationship between new sake and bamboo?

"Yes."

Shu Jin agreed casually, and began to deal with those bamboos. Before she returned, she had cut off all the branches and leaves on the bamboo, selected a few sections of the thickness, and began to assemble them.

The taste of the sake of this era is very light, and even many of them are not only sweet! In Shu Jin's opinion, this kind of wine is not wine at all. In the days when Shu Jin was cooking for Yong Lao in Wenxiang Pavilion, Yong Lao had always ordered good wine, but Shu Jin had tasted it, and those so-called aged wines were only about fifteen degrees at most, and they only tasted a little wine.

Shu Jin bought many kinds of liquor this time, from the cheapest "liquor" to the more expensive "Fuyang Shijelchun" and "Yicheng Jiuyu". I plan to take advantage of my free time to experiment with increasing the alcohol content.

If you want to increase the degree of sake, it is nothing more than distilling it many times. It stands to reason that the more times you distill, the higher the degree of the liquor.

The wine produced by Shu Jin is actually very low-proof, but it is a new wine, and it is much more mellow than the inferior wines on the market today.

Chai Yanfeng watched Shu Jin fiddle with the bamboo tube by digging holes and interspersing it, and the final product was thick and thin, with different lengths. Then Shu Jin took out a jar of so-called "liquor", poured it into a clay pot, and put it on the fire.

At this time, when Shu Jin saw the liquor for the first time, he was disgusted. Because this so-called liquor is a pale green liquid, not only turbid, but also floating on the surface like ants. When you drink it, not to mention the taste, at most a little bit of wine, more sour!

This is clearly the result of insufficient fermentation. The better, well-fermented, will have a better colour, a much clearer liquor, and a colour similar to amber, with a higher alcohol concentration.

The clay pot Shu Jin chose was the kind used for decoction, with a handle on one side and a teapot spout on the other, but it was very short. Chai Yanfeng watched Shu Jin pour the wine into the clay pot, although he felt a little strange, but he didn't bother. (To be continued.) )
