The scalper looked at the jaber, but he was still not satisfied, so he simply took another five catties of jabered sugar and melted water, and then put the thick sugar water liquid into a small jar, and then tied a few cotton threads on the two chopsticks and put them at the mouth of the jar, and said: "As long as a few days pass, more snow-white frosting can grow in this jar." ”

Similar strange things Yao Erniang and Aunt Qi have seen twice today, and there is no doubt that it will be difficult, even if he says that the jar is not frosting but goblins, the two will not hesitate.

But Yao Erniang didn't forget to knock Aunt Qi and said: "In the future, I am afraid that you will have to respond to this mess." Kong Yun, this kid is also considered to know things, and the Huang family can't always use all the way to the Yao family, and after a few days to sort out the accounts, let Kong Yun take care of the accounts! ”

Just one sentence, Aunt Qi was moved to kneel down again, not to mention that the skill she learned today is so terrifying, this kind of immortal magic-like ingenuity is not something that a person like her should learn, and then Yao Erniang actually asked her son Kong Yun to be the Huang family's account office in the future, which is naturally a great trust. In comparison, as long as her son can be the bookkeeper, even if Yao Erniang asks her to cut off her tongue blindly so that she can hold the secret of making this snow salt and snow sugar, she is willing.

Immediately, Aunt Qi bowed and said, "Slave will understand!" The great grace of the main mother, my family Yun'er will be a cow and a Malay newspaper in this life! ”

Yao Erniang hurriedly helped Aunt Qi up, and said with a smile: "This is serious!" Whether it is the old Huang family or the Yao family, they have never regarded anyone as a cow or a horse, by the way, Yun'er is almost eighteen this year, why haven't you given a daughter-in-law yet, she has not been at home in the past few years, and San Lang is too ignorant, so why don't you come to Yun'er to plan ......"

Seeing that the old lady began to use the means, the scalper was naturally not interested in learning on the side, so he took some prepared white salt and jaggery to look at Confucius and the children. At this time, the chicken killing conference in the patio has ended, and the twenty chickens have all been killed and divided, but looking at the chicken feathers in the well, as well as the chicken nuggets cut into strange shapes, the scalpers can't sprinkle if they want to be angry, so they can only take the cutting board and rework it themselves, according to the appearance recorded from last night's strange dream, and finally change a small half of the knife successfully, marinate the chicken neck, chicken skin, chicken wing tips, wings, big wings, chicken legs and crispy bones with sauce oil, salt, fennel powder and ginger powder, honey, and cut the chicken breast into large pieces. Chicken bones chopped into small pieces.

Then asked Ye Dalong to bring the iron pot he bought, and boiled water with stones in the patio, added ginger and shiitake mushrooms to the chicken bones and boiled them in a pot with more water, and boiled the chicken breasts in another pot with less water. When the chicken breast is cooked, scoop all the soup into the pot where the chicken bone broth is boiled, and then let Ye Dalong take a rolling pin to mash the cooked chicken breast in the pot, and slowly dry the minced chicken with the residual temperature of the slight fire.

When the chicken minced meat was completely dry, the scalper took the wooden barrel and sent it to the mill, and asked Tian Si to put the chicken minced chicken into the stone mill and crush it again, and at the same time asked Ye Dalong to scoop up all the chicken bones that had been boiled out of the chicken soup, and also put them in another pot to dry them with a slight heat.

At the same time, the ox did not let the other children idle, but left four children to help light the fire, and gave five taels of silver to Conbo, and asked him to take the rest of the children to buy some meat and vegetables, as well as the materials he had forgotten to buy, and then he himself took out the iron branch he had bought yesterday, and found the iron branch to tie it into a few boxy grills.

When he was almost ready, Ye Dalong also got the chicken bones ready, so he asked Ye Dalong to pack the chicken bones, found the stone trough for the rice at home to crush them first, and then took them to the mill to grind them into bone meal. At this time, Kong Yun and the others also drove back with a mule cart and cut a cart full of artemisia and artemisia, so the cattle cleared the ashes under the stove where the chicken soup was boiled, taught the two children how to burn the grass and artemisia, and asked Kong Yun to lead the people to go to the backyard of Yao's house to cut a few new bamboos and cut them into bamboo sticks, and then went to the mill to tinker with them.

In the blink of an eye, the sun gradually sank in the west, and the scalpers had almost prepared things, so they went to ask Erniang to call their uncle's family to try the taste, and also asked Uncle Chen, who was working in the old shop, and others to summon them, and then they were about to start.

Hearing that his nephew was going to invite his family to taste dozens of delicacies that were ready to be sold in the old store, Yao Zheng naturally would not shirk it, even if it was the banquet that had been scheduled, people went to sue him, and led his aunts and aunts to come. My cousin also changed into a green shirt today, with a thin eyebrow line on her face, and a cinnabar beauty mole on her forehead.

Seeing that her uncle's family was coming, the scalper first respectfully saluted her uncle, aunt and aunts, and then took the initiative to take her cousin's hand, grabbed a handful of jaberery from her pocket and said to her: "Taste it, is it sweet?" ”

The sugar cubes obtained from the raw sugar, which is actually the light-colored syrup boiled from the filtered brown sugar, are quickly cooled and crushed, and because they have been filtered five times, they are much stronger than the high-grade sugar called Hu sugar or sand sugar in this era.

Cousin Yao Yu'er looked at the sugar cube in her hand, her eyes were also full of surprise, she hurriedly threw a piece into her mouth, her eyes narrowed after a while, and her saliva quickly filled: "Hmm! It's so sweet! ”

Then she was also sensible, and hurriedly turned around and gave the candy in her hand to his father and mother, Yao Zheng didn't care, thinking that the scalper had bought some sugar to coax her daughter, but seeing that the color of the jaggery sugar handed over by Yu'er was much whiter than the sugar, she couldn't help but take a small piece of it curiously and tasted it, and then said strangely: "Niu'er, where did you buy this candy?" ”

The scalper raised his head and smiled: "No, I did it today!" ”

Yao Zheng smacked his lips, and a sugar cube the size of a little fingernail was gone in an instant, Yao Zheng also took another piece from Yu'er's hand and said, "Niu'er knows how to make sugar?" ”

"Uncle doesn't believe me?" The scalper simply took out all the jaggery cubes in his pocket and asked Yao Zhengdao: "I was about to ask my uncle to see if the jaggery I made was stronger than the candy I bought on the street." ”

The so-called Hu sugar refers to the Indian-produced sand sugar imported into the Great Song Dynasty by maritime merchants.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period before the Tang Dynasty, China was the production area of sugarcane and sucrose, but due to the technological limitations at that time, crystalline sugar had not yet appeared, and most of the sugarcane was directly seasoned or drunk with juice after juice was squeezed, which was called Zhe pulp. Later, in the Han Dynasty, the technology improved, and only then did the solid form of sugar appear, which was also the predecessor of brown sugar, and was called stone honey.

In Liu Xin's "Xijing Miscellaneous Records", it was mentioned that "the king of Minyue offered Emperor Gao's stone honey five hu", which shows that the stone honey was a tribute to the emperor at that time.
