Chapter 148: Brown Sugar and White Sugar
White sugar is an important condiment, and it is used in many dishes, such as sweet and sour loin, fish-flavored shredded pork, etc.
The key is that Chen Chu likes to eat sugar mixed with peanuts now, the starch sugar is really difficult to eat, and the brown sugar sent by Lao Li has the taste of white sugar, but the color looks seeping, and he has no appetite when he looks at it.
So he wants to try his luck in the West Market to see if he can find white sugar.
In fact, there are all kinds of strange things in places like Nishishi, and people come from all over the world, and anything that they think is valuable will come and sell it.
In fact, there are things that will appear hundreds of years later, but they are not recognized, and this kind of thing is not unheard of in history.
The two women cheered up, the smell here was nothing to them, and the safety was the most important thing.
Soon Chen Chu saw some Hu merchants selling all kinds of sugars, all of which were strange desserts, and some even covered up a stench under the sweetness, and the sources were all from West Asia and North Africa in later generations.
Finding that this piece of sugar was more concentrated, he checked them one by one, and finally saw white mixed with black granulated sugar in the stall in front of an old farmer.
"Old man, how did you make this thing?"
Chen Chu squatted in front of the stall, dipped his hand in a little taste, and felt that the taste of white and black was the same, and it seemed to be no different from the white sugar of later generations.
It's clearly grainy, and the taste is very pure, I'll go, this thing is mixed with peanuts, tomatoes, and even mixed in milk, etc., wouldn't it be blessed in the future?
The old farmer looked at the appearance of the three of them, knowing that the other party was likely to buy it, and he didn't stop the other party's tasting, so he hurriedly said: "Little brother, it's like this, after my brown sugar is being made, suddenly there is wall ash on the wall, mixed with brown sugar, and it turns white, as for the reason, I don't know." ”
Yes, yes, Chen Chu remembered it all of a sudden, and recalled the allusions that he had been depressed and couldn't remember for the past few days, isn't this the case with the advent of white sugar?
"Don't say anything, I want all your sugar, go home early and rest."
Chen Chu was directly and superficial, Lin Silan took two heavy bags of black and white doped sugar into the carriage, and the old farmer happily took the money and went home.
Chen Chu didn't have much interest here, so he drove home directly.
"Qin Qian, you go and help me find out if there is anyone who knows how to make seasoning, or simply find a few experienced sugar makers." As soon as he returned home, Chen Chu found Qin Qian.
Qin Jian immediately thought of Princess Luling's Mansion, isn't there a few such talents in the mansion.
After all, women like sweetness, and it is normal for there to be such talents in the princess's mansion.
So he went all the way back to the mansion, only to find that the people in the mansion were carrying something.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Jian was stunned, he had the impression that Princess Luling was not particularly short of money, even if she lacked money, she would not be able to sell furniture.
"It turned out to be Steward Qin, that's the case, the princess is planning to move to a new house, and the princess's mansion is only reserved for occasional returns." The subordinate said respectfully, who doesn't know that the Qin steward in the original mansion is now soaring into the sky and running to the Chen Mansion to be the internal steward?
Qin Jian didn't know what was wrong with this, but he probably knew the reason for this, maybe he was afraid that the owner would come to visit and reveal his identity.
After finding the relevant people, Qin Jian went back to resume his life.
At this time, in Qinrenfang, located in the south of Xuanyang Fang, there is a house covering an area of more than 30 acres, which is the new house that the two of them chose before.
At this time, as many as hundreds of subordinates in the two mansions were busy, decorating the house, washing and cleaning, installing furniture, repairing doors and windows, etc., and they were in full swing.
And the two of them don't plan to reserve much manpower here, if it is enough, the others will continue to maintain the daily operation of the princess's mansion.
The plaque at the door was also replaced with "Qiao Xuan's Mansion", taking one word from each of the names of Li Lixuan and Li Xiuqiao.
After Qin Jian found the people, Chen Chu took out the two bags of sugar, told them about the old farmer, and then asked them to brew it to see how to completely whiten the brown sugar and what processes needed to be added.
A few people were naturally overjoyed, brown sugar could be turned into such a beautiful and appetite-increasing white sugar, even if there was no reward from the Chen Mansion, they were willing to study it.
"My lord, this white sugar looks so beautiful, can we drink it usually?"
The two sisters also liked this beautiful white sugar very much, and they were very happy to hold it in the palm of their hands at this time.
"You can put it in when you drink milk, the banana shake that you usually teach, it will be more delicious to mix this thing into milk, and some dishes usually need to be sugary, not every dish is greasy and fishy and spicy."
Chen Chu said, at this time, he couldn't wait to take out some granulated sugar and put it into the peanut rice that had been fried before, and after tasting it, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, yes, this is the taste.
Great, since then, Datang has a delicious food, whether it is usually served on the table, a drink in the hotel, or taken to a dinner party, or a casual meal when you are in a hurry, it is very good.
And this thing is sealed with a bag to seal it out of the air, and it can be sold as a snack directly.
Chen Chu's heart moved, and suddenly his heart moved.
When the two girls heard that there was still this method, Lin Silan immediately went back to try it, and after a while, she came over with a small plate of banana milkshake with a bamboo stick on it for Chen Chu to taste.
Chen Chu tasted it, it was indeed more delicious, but it was too sweet, and the rhythm of teeth was about to fall out.
However, he couldn't stand it here, but the two girls were very happy to eat, there was no sweet feeling at all, and their faces showed a strong sense of happiness.
A woman deserves to be a woman...... Chen Chu remembered the shopping habits of men and women in later generations, and men bought more spicy strips in terms of buying snacks, even if they were not spicy strips, they would not be all kinds of muffin cakes and messy sweets, it seems that this thing is really a woman's tradition, and it has nothing to do with the era.
"Ding, the system has detected your complaining behavior, the spit value is +300, and you have obtained vacuum sealing technology."
Hey, is there really a vacuum sealing technology?
Chen Chu was surprised, he really didn't make a wish this time, he just wanted to use it as a backup idea, who would want to complain about the system so powerful?
He quickly figured out what the vacuum sealing technique was, and went back to his room.
He brought a plate of sugar and peanuts, and saw a huge silver box lying next to the table, the box was rectangular, and when he opened it, he could see that there was actually a conveyor belt in it, and there were some jet vents or something next to it, what was the situation?
The most surprising thing was that there was a stack of transparent paper bags in front of the box, and he picked up a stack of them, and another stack appeared, endlessly.
Chen Chu checked his spit value, and found no signs of reduction, could it be that this free machine can supply transparent paper bags indefinitely?
Age ...... Forget it, there is even a spit system, what could be stranger than this.
He took a bag, poured some sugar and peanuts into it, and put it inside the silver box, and then saw the door close, and there was a roar inside.
In less than two seconds, at the exit at the other end, a bag of sugar-mixed peanuts with a sealed vacuum fell from the conveyor belt with a click.
Chen Chu took it in his hand and checked it repeatedly, and couldn't help laughing.
This thing is really well sealed, because it has not undergone quality treatment, its shelf life naturally cannot be compared with future generations, but even if it can be stored for ten days and half a month, or a little longer, it is enough!
It can be sold to Luoyang and other places, and even if it is fast enough, it can also go to cities in the south.
