Next, Li Qu's illness ordered people to circle a place in the hidden place of Harappa City, and began to try to make sugar, and hundreds of soldiers were sent to guard it, and no one was allowed to put it in. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThose who don't know the truth still think that the Qin army is here, developing some secret weapon.

Qin Feng even ate and lived here, and began to make white sugar according to the method in his memory.

The first step is no different from the Tianzhu people using sugarcane to make sugar syrup, using gears to drive tools, squeeze all sugarcane into juice, and pour it into a cauldron with a temperature of about 80 degrees Celsius to boil. In order to prevent the pan from sticking, there are also people who keep stirring it around. And mixed with a small amount of plant ash to adsorb impurities, destroy the pH of the sugar juice, and make it easier to coagulate.

Then use a colander with a strainer to filter out the impurities, and when the water of the sugar juice is almost evaporated, pour the sugar juice into the bamboo mat to dry, and after three or five days, the sugar syrup will be made. It's just that there are a lot of impurities in this candied syrup, and the taste is not so sweet.

The second step is to wait for the sugar to be made, then place it in a wide upper mouth and a small bottom tile, and the bottom is plugged with wheat straw. After three or five days, the bottom of the tile is clogged with precipitated sugar grains. At this time, the wheat straw is removed, and the tiles are placed on top of the vat. Pour the yellow mud prepared in advance into the tile. Because the proportion of yellow mud is heavier than that of sugar syrup, after being poured in, it will slowly sink, seep out from the bottom, and finally fall into the vat. Moreover, the yellow mud has a super adsorption capacity, and when it gradually sinks and seeps, the impurities and moisture in the sugar syrup will be taken away.

In this process, about seven or eight days, the upper part of the tile slip is about 5 inches, and the crystals precipitated are the finished sucrose. The lower part of about 3 inches is brown sugar with slightly more impurities, and then there are impurities. As for brown sugar, it is either continued to be boiled and used to produce white sugar several times to finally precipitate white sugar, or it can be sold at a relatively low price.

After repeated experiments several times, and Qin Feng kept guiding him, it was only after half a month that the first sucrose was trial-produced. Li Quzhi was very happy, and asked Meng Ling to invite Qin Feng to come and see.

Qin Feng came over to take a look, and saw that there was about 5 inches of sucrose in the tile, but this sucrose was not as white and flawless as in modern society, but slightly yellow in color. Why is that? Qin Feng thought for a while and understood that the modern society makes white sugar by using sulfur and other substances to remove impurities by the persulfur method, so the color of sucrose is snow-white. And I used the yellow mud decolorization method invented by craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty, and the impurities could not be completely removed, so the color was slightly yellowish.

Qin Feng stretched out his fingers, dipped some sugar, put it on the tip of his tongue, closed his eyes and savored it. Hey! It seems to be sweeter than the white sugar of modern society.

Meng Ling, Li Quai, and a group of craftsmen watched with wide eyes on the side: "Brother Qin, how is it?" Is it sweet"?

Qin Feng didn't speak, but stretched out his fingers, dipped some white sugar in the tile, and handed it to Meng Ling's mouth.

Seeing Qin Feng like this, Meng Ling's pretty face turned red, turned his head to look at the people around him, as if no one cared about him, and hurriedly took Qin Feng's finger in his mouth, and also imitated Qin Feng's appearance, closed his eyes and savored it. Liang Jiu shouted: "Wow! It's so sweet!"

Qin Feng saw Meng Ling holding his fingers and kept sucking in them, and his heart fluttered, and he suddenly made waves.

"General, did we succeed"? Li Quai's illness saw that the two of them didn't care how anxious the people around them were, and if there was no one around, I couldn't help but ask.

Qin Feng nodded: "Well, it was successful"!

As soon as Qin Feng's words landed, the craftsmen of the entire sugar factory laughed loudly together: "It's successful!" We made it"!

Li Quzhi also shouted and screamed, and burst into tears with excitement. Except for Qin Feng here, he may be the only one who understands what these white sugar mean, this is not white sugar, this is all yellow and clear gold!

You must know that in the land of Tianzhu, the princes and nobles live luxuriously, which can be called the wine pond meat forest, and the poor are extremely luxurious. In order to have a higher quality of life than others, they often do not hesitate to spend money to purchase all kinds of luxury things to compare with each other. If they see this white sugar, they will not rush to exchange it for gold.

Qin Feng looked at these white sugars, and his heart was full of reverie, if he increased the scale, expanded production, and formed a one-stop trust of planting, picking, manufacturing, and sales. Are you a pioneer of capitalism? Will history be rewritten by itself? Will he be called the father of the budding capitalism? Ha ha! Not only is there money to be made, but it may also be recorded in history forever, this fun is really great!

Next, Qin Feng asked Li Quzhi to expand the scale of production here by more than ten times, and let those craftsmen who had already mastered the art of sugar making bring out a few more apprentices each. Then he sent men to cut down all the sugar cane in the sugar cane field outside the city of Harappa and put it back for later use.

Half of the successful cane sugar was kept here as a sample, and the other half was given to the generals of the Qin army, such as Mengxin, as well as Aixilisa, Muromaha, Ashiwa and Sejianburo, and they also gave them a taste.

It was a half-moon again, and the first mass-produced white sugar left the factory. Half of them Qin Feng were sealed and kept properly. The other half is poured into a large pot, added with water and continued to boil over a warm fire, and then some egg whites were added to further adsorb impurities. It is then dried again and finally cooled in a clay urn. Then insert a few bamboo strips into it and place them in a shady place such as a cellar.

Within a few days, the bamboo strips will precipitate crystals, about the size of rice grains, and after a few days, these crystals will be as big as soybeans, and in a few days, they will be the size of pigeon eggs. The bamboo strips were densely packed, one after the other, covered with sugar cubes the size of pigeon's eggs.

Once the sugar cubes are picked, store them in a cool place. Then pour the sugar juice in the urn into the pot and continue to boil, after evaporating the water, pour it into the urn again, insert the bamboo strips, and wait for the sugar cubes to crystallize and precipitate. This has been repeated repeatedly, and the sugar cubes produced are what modern society calls rock sugar.

On the day of the successful trial production of rock candy, Qin Feng invited all the leading figures in Harappa City to have a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The white sugar produced by Qin Jun was named 'Snow Candy', and the rock sugar was named 'Crystal Rock Candy'. Qin Feng even thought of an advertising slogan for his crystal rock candy: "Rock candy is eternal, and one will be passed on forever"!

After tasting the snowflake candy and crystal rock candy, everyone was amazed that there was such a sweet and beautiful thing in the world. You must know that the land of Tianzhu is quite hot, except for the land of the far north, others have never seen snow in their lives, today to see this frost-like snowflake candy, is not as excited as seeing snowflakes, but it is also extremely sweet and delicious, how can not let these Vidi royal families yearn for it.

There is also the crystal rock candy, which is exactly the same as the crystal gemstone, so crystal clear, but it can be eaten, and the taste is indescribable when you hold it in your mouth and taste it. These Vidian nobles expressed their willingness to buy from the Qin army at a high price. Qin Feng just smiled, and gave some to each person, if you want to buy it, it's no show.

After all, these people are also their own people now, and they will loot their gold silks, and when the time comes, they will have no way to continue, and they will not be able to make up for them by themselves, of course Qin Feng will not do this loss-making deal. These snowflake candies and crystal rock candies, Qin Feng didn't plan to sell them to them originally, what Qin Feng really planned to sell at a high price were the princes and nobles of the Nagupta Dynasty! Anyway, they will almost be an obstacle to the return of the Qin army to Great Qin in the future, pit them with some gold silk, and Qin Feng will never get tired of it.

Ashisa is a general fan of snowflake candy, but she loves crystal rock candy very much. It is also said that this crystal rock candy is quite similar to Qin Feng's Xuanniao jade pendant, and every time he holds this crystal rock candy, it is like playing with Qin Feng's jade pendant. When Qin Feng heard these rumors, when he recalled these days and heard all kinds of scandals between himself and Ai Lisa, no matter how thick-skinned Qin Feng was, he couldn't help but blush and reverie when he heard it.

Because Ashilisa is very fond of this crystal rock candy, she often sends a waiter to ask for it. It is said that Queen Lisa has to take one before going to bed every night to fall asleep. For the sake of unnecessary trouble, every time Qin Feng produced crystal rock candy, Qin Feng would ask people to choose some of the best ones and send them to Icelisa. It is also avoided that the waiter goes back and forth, not knowing that it is a person, and thinking that the two of them use the waiter as a medium to hand over love goods to each other!
