Li Yunxin's face was hot, she ran to the yard to blow the wind, and when the temperature on her face dropped, she went back to the stove.

She took out the firewood from under the stove, extinguished the fire with ashes, and then closed the door of the stove pit and closed the lid of the pot.

Immediately afterwards, he took a large food box with a handle, put four small jars of finished sugar and molasses, stuffed them into the food box steadily, and carried the food box in his hand.

Shi Shiran locked the door of the house, the door of the warehouse, and the door of the yard, and walked out with the food box.

He was still humming a cheerful little tune.

If you get close enough, you can hear her humming in a low voice: "We people, we are so happy today......

When he walked to the door of Yujia Zhuangzi, Li Yunxin was so tired that his whole body was sore, and he couldn't move.

I walked for more than half an hour! I feel like the soles of my shoes are about to wear out!

In the open space near the gate of Zhuangzi, two carriages were parked.

One is extremely gorgeously decorated, and at first glance it is used by the wives of rich and noble families.

The other carriage used a low-key cyan curtain, and there was nothing unusual about its appearance.

However, the body is wide, and the horses pulling the cart are also very good.

Li Yunxin stood up and rested, looked at it curiously by the way, and when she took a breath, she knocked on the corner door and entered the Yu family Zhuangzi.

Yu Qingmei was very happy when she saw Li Yunxin coming:

"I'm bored, but you're here.

By the way, the kite I asked people to send yesterday, do you still like it? ”

"Like! Such a big centipede kite, the two small ones are so happy, they can't find their eyes. ”

Li Yunshu and Li Xijie were so happy that they couldn't see their teeth and eyes when they saw the huge centipede kite.

I didn't even want to eat, so I had to hold the dishes and chopsticks and eat with the kite.

"Haha......"

Yu Qingmei heard Li Yunxin say something interesting, and couldn't help laughing happily, and after laughing for a while, she went to see the food box in Li Yunxin's hand:

"Sister Rou did this again?"

Since the last time, Li Yunxin gave the shoes made by Sister Rou to Yu Qingmei, and Yu Qingmei said that she liked it very much, Li Yunrou seemed to be addicted, and she had to make some small things every three or five days, so that Li Yunxin could run upside down and send them to Yu Qingmei.

She has made shoes, small clothes, handkerchiefs, purses, rice dumplings, and cold cakes...... Anyway, he hollowed out his mind and changed his mind to give Yu Qingmei a gift.

Li Yunxin knew Li Yunrou's thoughts.

She felt that her family, especially Li Yunxin's younger sister, had received a lot of care from Yu Qingmei, and she couldn't help it, so she thought about it, how could she express her heart.

Yu Qingmei also happily accepted Sister Rou'er's kindness.

Speaking of which, almost all of the children in the fourth room fit in the eyes of Qingmei.

Li Yunxin raised a pair of curved eyebrows super proudly:

"That's wrong! This time it's not Sister Rou'er's craft! Guess what it is? ”

Yu Qingmei smiled: "Where do I guess where I can go?!" ”

While laughing, she opened a jar and saw the sugar as white as snow inside, her eyes widened in surprise:

"It's ...... Frosting? ”

Yu Qingmei moved her gaze from the sugar jar to Li Yunxin's face.

Seeing that her face was full of complacency, it seemed that every part of her body was shouting: "Praise me!" Praise me! ”

Yu Qingmei asked in disbelief:

"Sister Xin, what are you...... Frosting? ”

"That's right! Sister Qingmei, everything I ordered has arrived today. I just boiled it up and tried it.

I didn't expect it to be made!

Sister Qingmei, what do you think of this financial road? ”

Li Yunxin naturally saw the solemnity and disbelief on Qingmei's face, she tried her best to speak lightly, but the smugness in her tone couldn't be hidden:

"I did a rough calculation, and the raw materials I bought this time can almost boil out more than 100 catties of such sugar, and at the same time, more than 100 catties of molasses.

The remaining beet pomace is also useful.

It can be mixed with vegetable leaves, bran, and used to feed pigs and chickens. It should also be used to fertilize the land. ”

"These ...... Did you boil it out of that beet lump? ”

"Yes, yes! Sister Qingmei, what do you think we should do if we go to the town to open a shop? Now the white sugar on the market is quite expensive, and it is not as white as ours...... Ah! ”

Li Yunxin couldn't help but exclaim, and his heart jumped to his throat.

Yu Qingmei was so happy, she "soared" and stood up, her movements were so fierce that she almost overturned the table.

The two of them were in a hurry, and they held the dangling sugar jar steady, and then patted their chests and slowly exhaled a long breath. They looked at each other and smiled.

Yu Qingmei didn't say a word, and pulled Li Yunxin to leave:

"Let's go, let's go to that little village and have a look!"

Li Yunxin experienced an ancient version of motion sickness for the first time, no, it was "motion sickness".

Yu Qingmei was so anxious that she didn't sit in the carriage, thinking that it was the fastest to ride a horse. She didn't forget Li Yunxin, picked up Sister Xin'er and put her on horseback, and instructed: "Sit tight, catch it!" And he galloped.

Li Yunxin clung to the horse's mane tightly, kept himself firmly attached to the horse's back as much as possible, and silently recited in his heart, "As long as I don't fall, I won't fall, as long as I don't fall, I won't fall......

Maybe it's because of mental stress, but the road is actually well controlled.

As soon as he arrived at the place, he just came from the horse and stepped on the ground, Li Yunxin was really dizzy.

Yu Qingmei couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to put Li Yunxin on the bed, and fed her a few sips of sugar water with her own hands, so that Li Yunxin gradually eased the dizziness.

After relieving himself, Li Yunxin happily introduced the production process of boiling sugar to Yu Qingmei:

"You see, it's a little bit of a lot, but it's actually quite simple.

First of all, I washed all these beet lumps, and cut them here and here, and cut everything.

Then cut the beet gnocchi into shreds, I can't do it with a knife, the finer the shreds, the better.

Then put all the shredded beets in this pot and soak them in warm water. Then ......"

Yu Qingmei kept listening to Li Yunxin's chirping with a smile, her eyes were shining, and she couldn't help but praise her:

"Sister Xin, why do you have such a brain? It's so smart! I came up with such an idea! ”

Li Yunxin was suddenly embarrassed.

She didn't come up with this on her own.

In modern times, she watched a documentary about the sugar production method!

It's just that with these simple utensils at this time, it is a bit unexpected that sugar can really be boiled.

Yu Qingmei seriously considered the suggestion of opening a shop.

There are almost only two main types of local sugar:

One is caramel extracted from crops such as sorghum and malt.

The second is sucrose squeezed from sugar cane.

It's just that this cane sugar is a product of the south, and the yield is not high.

It is not easy to transport it to the north.

Now that it is a time of war again, many areas are blocked from transportation, or because of hostile relations and trade restrictions, it is even more difficult to transport this cane sugar.

Moreover, even if it is shipped, there is little frosting, and most of it is crude brown sugar or brown sugar.

Rock sugar is also available, but it is much more expensive than brown sugar and brown sugar.

This beet gnocchi is a vegetable in the north, with a slightly sweet taste and a little firewood, and the treatment is similar to that of spicy mustard gnocchi. It's just a cheap thing for poor families to eat.

Who would have thought that as long as they were processed and boiled like this, they could extract expensive frosting from cheap beet gnocchi!
