Ye Xipo and Ye Ren glanced at each other, thinking that they were all from the house, and there were more things to do in the future, so they couldn't hide it.

So he told the white-bearded old Taoist priest again, except for the four Ye Ren brothers who had known for a long time, everyone was amazed, and under Ye Ren's guidance, all the people were convinced that this white-bearded old Taoist priest was the ancestor of Ye Ren - Lao Tzu.

Da Yan's eyes changed when he looked at Ye Xipo, after all, Ye Xipo was only his nephew, nephew, and brother in the past, but now he has one more identity, a disciple of the old ancestor, and if you take it seriously, the seniority is higher than anyone else.

Ye Xipo didn't expect it to be such an effect, the heart is so good, he doesn't confess or admit it, with this name, it is even easier to do things.

I didn't know it, more than half an hour passed, and the sugarcane juice squeezed by Ye Kun's two brothers was also boiled into sugar paste, and it was also put in a plate to cool.

Ye Xipo and Feng Yuanying began to check the crystallization status of white sugar.

The result was somewhat unexpected by Ye Xipo, maybe he didn't have any experience, maybe he was too radical and burned a little less fire.

Five of the seven plates are sticky, like a tide of white sugar, and one of them is even wet, like white sugar being drenched in water.

It is about that the water is getting less and less, the heat is becoming more and more uneven, the sugar water in most parts of the noodles still contains water, and the temperature at the bottom of the kettle is the highest, so there is no water, so only the white sugar in the last two plates is completely dry and molded, one by one like a fine sand like crystal white snow.

Ye Xipo frowned very dissatisfied, the problem of making less than a pound of white granulated sugar in the morning was not clear, and as soon as there was too much sugar, the problem would be obvious.

You can't boil just a pound of sugar every time, right?

Feng Yuanying was very appreciative and said, "San Lang doesn't have to care, you are not a special sugar master after all, and it is the first time that you have boiled so much, and you have only boiled half of the fire."

In the future, if you call the teacher in the workshop to boil it, you will not be in this situation. ”

Ye Xipo didn't think so, he was too much in demand for professional masters, and after ten years of experience, no matter how much technology he had, he would definitely not be able to form a mass production, he asked: "Uncle, how many experienced sugar boiling masters are there in you and Feng's frosting sugar workshop?" ”

"Just one teacher, and the five apprentices he taught, a total of six workshops, one of their masters and apprentices."

"So how much sugar cane juice can each workshop boil and consume a few frosting sugars every day?"

"If you can squeeze a few days one day, you can boil a few times; The output of frosting sugar is low, there is no way, just one person, at most can take care of two cauldrons. ”

Ye Xipo smiled, thinking about it, the efficiency of sugar extraction is so low, naturally boiled over, most of these sugarcane juices should be made into brown sugar and jaggery;

However, the frosted sugar only requires six craftsmen to control the heat, and the frosted sugar is extremely expensive, and the same cane juice can be boiled for five catties of brown sugar, and less than one pound of frosted sugar, so the output is extremely low and the price is extremely expensive.

Ye Xipo said with a smile: "This is the knowledge, according to what Uncle said, with my technology, the six workshops of the Feng family and the Xian family also consume a few white sugars." ”

Feng Yuanying laughed: "What's the matter, San Lang, your method costs less, a pot of thick sugar, if you use the previous method, you can only make less than seven catties of frosting sugar; But with your method, I estimate that I can make at least more than 20 catties of white sugar.

And the white sugar you made in this way, the taste is positive, there is no miscellaneous, the color is white, there is no positive color, it will definitely be able to sell for a higher price than the frosted sugar, and the white sugar is available in our Feng Xian's workshop, and no one else has it, so it will definitely be very popular! ”

Speaking of this, Feng Yuanying had a deep resentment, thinking that back then, Feng Shi dug up the sugar-boiling teacher, but Fei Yu had a lot of folds, and because of this, he had a grudge with the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion.

Ye Xipo's thoughts are not the same.

He smiled and said, "Uncle is right, but wouldn't it be better if there was a way to make sugar available for consumption on a large scale, instead of just relying on a few experienced teachers?" ”

Feng Yuanying's eyes widened: "San Lang, do you have a way?" ”

Ye Xipo thought about it and said, "Not yet, let me think about it, I can always think of a way." Really, no, the next time the old fairy comes to my dream again, I will know if I ask him. ”

"That's right, you are now an immortal disciple, if it weren't for the old immortal guidance, you wouldn't have such an ingenious method.

It's really strange, just use charcoal to see, how can such a simple method no one think of before? Otherwise, immortals are immortals, and they are not comparable to the wisdom of our mortals. Feng Yuanying said with honor.

"That's it, that's it, such a simple and ingenious method can only be imagined by the gods!" The crowd chimed in.

Ye Xipo couldn't help but want to laugh, this is the way the gods want to do it?

If I had this skill in the next life, I would definitely have been scolded to death, because the charcoal cost is also high, and the molasses in the sugar cane juice is also all lost, and at the same time, the charcoal will also absorb sugar water.

Ye Xipo was a little complacent.

In later generations, it seemed to be quite rough and backward, but in the Tang Dynasty, it was incomparably advanced, and it was also praised by the gods for their imagination.

Ye Xipo finally smiled, haha, I am an immortal, Ye Xipo, Ye immortal.

As a man spoke, the children Ye Xin and Ye Xiang also came in to take a look, looking at Bai Huahua's white sugar and swallowing their saliva, although there is sugarcane juice to drink, but the food that has not been eaten is the most delicious.

So Ye Ren took advantage of the big house, took the posture of the owner of the house, and sternly admonished everyone that Ye Xipo would make white sugar, and there was also the matter of meeting the white-bearded old fairy in Ye Xipo's dream.

Everyone patted their chests to ensure that they would never say anything, Ye Xuan took a scale again, and called the front noodles seven plates, the back noodles a total of eight plates of sugar, excluding the weight of the basket and the plates, and finally got a total of six catties of sugar (one catty sixteen taels 640 tons) a little more.

Counting the previous noodles and the moisture in several of the plates, the radical budget is five and a half catties of sugar, which is equivalent to seven catties in later generations, that is, about 350 catties of white sugar in a sugar cane.

After this result, Feng Yuanying trembled all over: "It's too unaffordable, I calculate, if the same cane juice used to make five catties of brown sugar and one catty of frosting sugar is barely enough, but now it can make three and a half catties of white sugar."

The yield rate is more than three and a half times that of frosted sugar, and the quality of this white sugar is more than two times better than that of frosted sugar. This profit is too big, at least seven or eight times that of the previous one!

No, so-and-so is going to rush now, and ask them to use this method to make white sugar, and continue to make frosted sugar, which is too wasteful, and also ask them to make some more sugar cane. ”
