Lao Zhong has been very busy in the past three days, very busy, from morning to night.

The tools and materials he was actually looking for were prepared in just one day, but Lao Zhong thought carefully, thought about it for a while, and spent another day building a simple shed with the new servant Liu Wu, that is, Jiang's man, in the back garden, out of fine wood and thatch.

There is really no way to hide the boiled sugar, because the smell is too strong, and he is really afraid of being peeked at by others.

After doing all this, the family began to retreat, and the family began to tinker in the backyard.

Zhong Xiaohe knew the seriousness of this matter, and gave full play to her professional quality, specially brought paper and pen, and drew a table, just to make a test record.

Lao Zhong was very curious about this so-called "form", he really couldn't understand it.

Zhong Xiaohe thought about it, his father still had to train well.

"The top two horizontal grids are two kinds of yellow muddy water, one thin and one thick, and the three leftmost squares of the vertical row are written separately, and there are three viscous states of sugar paste."

This Rausch sub-form, it looks very awkward, although he is a big old man, but he is also used to writing from right to left, from top to bottom, but the girl's writing is just the opposite.

Just about to open her mouth to ask, the girl said again:

"Meaning, the next step is to take yellow mud water and sugar paste, two influencing factors of different levels for experimentation."

"What? What are the factors, the level? Lao Zhong and his wife were at a loss.

"Yellow mud water is the factor that affects the results, and the amount of loess mixed with more water and less water causes some rare concentrations, which are of different levels. There are two of them in the table. ”

"In the same way, sugar paste is also a factor that affects the result, and the difference in viscosity is different levels, let's design three."

"The two factors are configured together at different levels," Zhong Xiaohe said with his finger through a space at the intersection of yellow mud and sugar paste: "It's a test condition, the same way, this, this...... There are a total of six conditions, and the results obtained, we choose the best one, understand? ”

The girl's serious explanation, a bunch of new words, although I didn't understand it too much, but this little look is very energetic, and the more Lao Zhong and Yang looked at it, the more they felt that their melons were so good.

I don't know how to explain it clearly, otherwise it's easy to mess up. After explaining a few times, he finally understood, but Lao Zhong said: "So, it is these two factors that affect the quality of our sugar?" ”

"Brown sugar raw materials, fire, and time are all influencing factors, how can the fire be the same every time, put the fire time together, and replace it with sugar paste thick or not."

This statement is again in a circle.

"Well, just control the two things mentioned above. It's complicated, and you'll understand it when you try it. ”

"Alright, let's get started. That's it, girl, don't say your new words outside in the future. ”

"Got it."

In the shed, six wooden barrels with funnels on shelves are lined up.

A big pot next to it is burning, the fire girl is Yang's, when the pot is hot, Lao Zhong poured six catties of brown sugar into it. I'm afraid that if I put less, I won't see the effect, and it will be in vain.

The heat had to be controlled, Zhong Xiaohe wanted to help, but the two of them were stunned, for fear of burning. So Zhong Xiaohe could only stare dryly from the side.

When the brown sugar boiled into a paste and stirred well, Lao Zhong scooped it up with a large spoon and carefully poured it into six funnels.

Of course, there is more than one side of the sugar paste capacity in the six.

The funnel port has been tightly plugged with thatch in advance, and the sugar paste will not leak out.

The next thing is to wait for the sugar paste to solidify, to what extent, the table is designed, try three degrees of coagulation, and judge the standard, that is, Lao Zhong presses the paste surface with his fingers to feel its concave.

Wait for the process of solidification and prepare the yellow muddy water.

Yellow mud water is not yellow mud mixed with water, this yellow mud is the loess taken, after a fine basket sifting, leaving very fine particles, and then poured water to stir.

The so-called dilute and thick, since there is the same amount of loess, the difference in the amount of water mixed in, the concentration and thinness are relative to the two.

One dilute and one concentrated gives one of the three degrees of solidification, and two samples are given respectively, which makes up six test conditions.

The yellow mud water is ready, stir well, and wait for the sugar paste to solidify to a certain extent, Lao Zhong holds a basin of thinner yellow mud water, hesitating whether to pour it, "Pour, at most this brown sugar is wasted." ”

Lao Zhong glared, she didn't make money to buy it, and she didn't feel distressed at all, thinking that when he was a child, he couldn't eat, how could it be such a waste. This basin of muddy water goes in, I'm afraid that the sugar will be wasted.

Only under the pressure of Zhong Xiaohe's eyes, he didn't stop the movements of his hands, and prayed in his heart while pouring yellow muddy water into a funnel. When the yellow muddy water covers the brown sugar paste one finger high, no more water is added.

Immediately after that, another basin of thicker yellow mud water is stirred evenly and poured into the next funnel.

A family of three stared at the funnel with good eyes, for a second, two seconds...... A quarter of an hour passed, nothing had changed, and I was a little disappointed.

Zhong Xiaohe hurriedly comforted: "Dad, don't worry, it's one day if it's fast, two days if it's slow, it's not so fast to change." ”

In fact, she was panicked in her heart, for fear that the yellow muddy water would be poured out.

Lao Zhong was skeptical, but now he could only do it with his head bored, and after a while, he poured two kinds of yellow muddy water into the other two funnels.

Only at this time, the front funnel has not changed at all. When the last two funnels were also filled with yellow muddy water, Lao Zhong almost lost confidence in his heart.

But let him leave behind, that is absolutely impossible, once he succeeds? That's not it.

While waiting, Lao Qian came to report in a hurry, saying that the big housekeeper on the right side had come, and his face was very bad.

Lao Zhong hurriedly asked his wife and daughter to take care of it and go out to have a look.

After a while, the old bell came back, and his face was not good.

Whoever pointed at him with his finger, the nose that was scolded was not the nose, the face was not the face, and the heart was not happy, not to mention that he was a slave of a different family.

I was threatened, saying that I don't want to live here, and I want to get out early, right?

Lao Zhong was panicked in his heart, but he had to endure it, and his arms couldn't twist his thighs.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Guo Dian's family dislikes our family and makes it taste again."

"What, I can't boil a sugar paste for a while? To say that we boiled it all day a while ago, it was sugar and fruit, and the taste was really too strong, but this time, we only boiled it for a while. ”

"Mother, it was specified that we were scared of others a while ago, and this time I smelled a little sweetness and hurried up to warn. It's not to blame. ”

If Zhong Xiaohe knew that her father was scolded like a grandson, she wouldn't have said that.

After a while, Lao Zhong spat out and said, "That's it, anyway, we are planning to move places." ”

The atmosphere was a little dreary, and the family sat and waited silently. It didn't work like this, Zhong Xiaohe asked them to do something else first, and they were guarding here, but Lao Zhong didn't do it, but drove his wife and daughter away.

Eighty percent of him wants to stay here tonight.

was really said by Zhong Xiaohe, lit a kerosene lamp at night, and the old bell refused to sleep. To say that the old bell is really resilient. People who are determined and resilient, who will succeed if such people do not succeed?
