Chapter 154: Manually make white sugar

Noon is the main meal, which is naturally more hearty than in the morning.

The most important thing is the big cake the size of a basin!

The cake is placed in the center of the table, with a snow-white background, and a finely carved fruit figure is displayed on it, which is a miniature version of Pei Lian, and a circle of fruits is placed around, colorful and colorful.

It looks like a work of art.

This was made by Xue Wu in the space last night, using all the ingredients in the space, and the deliciousness was absolutely killing any cake she had eaten before.

There are three candles on the cake, representing Pei Lian's mental age - three years old.

Xue Wu told Pei Lin about the process of blowing out candles and making wishes, and under the gaze of several people, Pei Lin blew out the candles and made a wish.

Xue Wu took the lead in applauding and singing a birthday song.

Xue Yao and Xue Jun also sang along.

Mother Xue is not good at messing with the children, but the heartfelt smile on her face has never come down.

For a while, the dinner table was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

After singing a happy birthday song, Xue Wu handed the knife to Pei Lian, "Come, cut the cake." ”

Pei Lin was a little dazed and held the knife, "How to cut?" ”

Xue Wu simply held his hand and cut the cake with him.

"Come, the first cake belongs to our birthday boy." Xue Wu put the cake on the plate, and put the fruit villain specially carved for him.

Pei Lin looked at the cake in front of him, and then at Xue Wu, and in the depths of his eyes, surging emotions.

How fortunate he was to meet such a person.

It's a pity that Xue Wu was busy distributing cakes to everyone and didn't notice it.

Everyone was given a piece of cake and ate it happily.

After the joy and excitement of the day passed, in the middle of the night, everything was quiet, only the insects and frogs outside the window were intertwined, and wave after wave was passed on.

The wind on the summer night was warm and lingering, Pei Lin changed his outfit and quietly left the Xue Mansion.

Beicheng, the world's pawnshop.

In the backyard room, Wang Yan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly woke up from his dream and saw a black shadow standing by the window!

He was shocked in his heart, this person could sneak into his bedroom silently, if he wanted to be unfavorable to himself, then he was afraid that he would be seriously injured if he did not die at this time.

But since he didn't do it, it means that he didn't come to ask for his own life.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan's heart settled down a little, and he got up from the bed, "I don't know why Your Excellency came late at night?" ”

The figure in front of the window turned, "Crow." ”

This "red crow" was like thunder exploding in Wang Yan's ears!

In this world, the only one who knows his code name is the master!

But the master hasn't alreadyβ€”

He took a few steps forward and saw the man's face in the moonlight.

It's really the master!

Wang Yan immediately knelt down and touched his forehead to the ground, "Master! ”

The master in his mouth is none other than Pei Lian.

The Tianxia Pawnshop was originally an arrangement he used to collect intelligence, and there were a total of five managers, five of whom were in charge of five places in the southeast, northwest, and middle.

Oriental wood, ruled by green crows;

The south belongs to fire, which is ruled by red crows;

The West is golden, and is ruled by the white crow;

The north belongs to the water, which is ruled by the ink crow;

The central part is earthy and is controlled by the yellow crow.

These five people are the leaders of their respective fields, and they report the news directly to Pei Lian, the master, and they have no intersection with each other.

After Pei Lian's accident, the five of them kept secretly inquiring about him, but they never found him.

And Wang Yan, that is, the red crow in charge of intelligence in the south, Xu has been ignoring his home base of Fengchi County because the lights are dark.

At this moment, he was overjoyed to see the master who had disappeared for several months suddenly appear in front of him.

"Get up." Pei Lin walked to the edge of the chair and sat down, "Tell me what happened during this time." ”

"Yes." Wang Yan stood up and bowed down to look back at the information he had gathered during this time.

space.

Xue Wu is trying to make white sugar with Mu He.

To the east of the thatched huts, a large field of sugar cane and sugar beets has been planted, and the sugar cane is a forest with sugar beets as far as the eye can see, and the air is filled with the astringent aroma of plants.

There are two kinds of white sugar: refined white sugar and local white sugar, the former is white in color, fine and soft in grain, and good in quality, which was commonly used by Xue Wu in her previous life.

The latter is slightly yellow in color and slightly darker, and the quality is poor.

Xue Wu now does not have the machine needed to make sugar, so she can only use the soil method to make it.

The production method is broadly divided into five steps: sugar cane processing, pressing, cane juice cleaning, cane juice evaporation, and sucrose crystallization.

The first step is easy to understand, the fresh cane dug from the ground still has soil on it, and the sugarcane skin, sugarcane leaves, roots, etc. need to be cleaned up.

If you have crushing equipment, you just need to throw the sugarcane directly into it and wait for the whitewashed sugarcane to come out, but now there is nothing, isn't it?

So this step can only be handled manually.

Fortunately, Xue Wu now has certain monk means, and she can use the cleaning technique to remove the soil impurities on the sugarcane, and the remaining peeling and rooting operations are also simple, just looking at the large pile of sugarcane to be processed in front of her, she feels tired.

However, in order to make white sugar, in order to make more delicious food in the future, she could only throw up her arms and start drying.

Fortunately, she has Mu He's right-hand man.

Once the cane has been processed, the next step is to press it. If there is a press -

Alas, forget it, it's useless to think about it.

Although she doesn't have a press, she has the Pangolin, a contract beast that pulls out the mountains.

Xue Wu took the Five Elements Bead to Shangyang Lake, put it into the space, brought it back, let it change back to its original form, and acted as a beast-shaped juicer for her.

The cane juice is a very clear and pure green color.

She had seen the production video of white sugar before, but the production process of white sugar in the video was very rough, first using a machine to directly harvest and cut the sugarcane in the field, and then put it into the machine for pressing.

You can imagine how muddy the cane juice obtained in this way is, it is impossible to be clean, and since that time, she has never used the white sugar bought outside, but made it herself.

This is also the reason why she now has the confidence to make white sugar, because she is very familiar with the process.

Although she lacks the convenient machines of modern times, she now has all kinds of means.

For example, the cleaning technique used on the sugarcane before, after that small spell, the sugarcane immediately became extremely clean, and it can be said that it is dusty.

Therefore, the pressed cane juice does not have so many impurities, and it is much easier to separate, and there is no need to add phosphoric acid, limestone and other chemical agents at all, just need to heat it.

After heating and precipitation, the cane juice is separated from the impurities, and the result is a cane juice that is clearer and more transparent than before.

However, this is not the end, the cane juice has to be evaporated, and the water inside is evaporated, just like making sake, and the liquid obtained after evaporation is more pure.

Concentration is the essence.
