Although Gu Ruohan didn't speak, and there was no expression on his face, he turned his head and glanced at Li Zijing gently.

Because this was the first time to get it, I was afraid that some places would not be well mastered, so Gu Ruohan and Li Zijing only squeezed a vat of sugarcane juice first.

This sugarcane has to be pressed three times by a sugar truck to squeeze all the juice inside, and the remaining bagasse can be used as firewood.

A vat of sugarcane juice can't be boiled in one pot at a time, so Li Zijing and Gu Ruohan boiled this vat of sugarcane juice into syrup several times.

Li Zijing paid attention to the heat while gently teaching Gu Ruohan: "Xianggong, pay attention to the heat when boiling, otherwise the sugar boiled will be inferior." And when the water is boiled in the shape of fine beads, like boiling soup, you will twist it with your hands, if you touch your hands, it means that it has been boiled to the heat, and you don't need to boil it anymore. ”

"Hmm." Gu Ruohan listened very carefully and studied very seriously.

As soon as Li Zijing and Gu Ruohan finished boiling the syrup, they put the syrup in a bucket and let it coagulate into a sugar paste. And the syrup at this time is yellow-black.

Seeing that it had condensed into sugar paste, Li Zijing and Gu Ruohan carried a bucket of condensed sugar paste to the utility room.

As soon as she came to the tile slip, Li Zijing found grass to plug the small hole under the tile slip, and said to Gu Ruohan: "This hole is plugged with grass first, and when the sugar paste solidifies inside, we will pull it out." ”

"Hmm."

Li Zijing plugged the small hole with grass before saying to Gu Ruohan again: "Xianggong, you pour all this sugar paste into the tile, I am not as tall as you, it is not easy to pour." ”

"Hmm." Gu Ruohan immediately obediently poured the sugar paste in the two buckets into the tile.

After the sugar paste solidified in the tile, Li Zijing pulled out the grass stuffed in the small hole under the tile, and said in a low voice: "Xianggong, you take the yellow muddy water and pour it from above." As I told you before, this yellow muddy water has a decolorizing effect, which allows all the black syrup to be poured into the tank under the tile, and all that remains in the tile, all of which turns into white sugar. ”

This yellow muddy water is the key, and she can't let others know.

Gu Ruohan didn't say anything, took the yellow muddy water and poured it according to Li Zijing's meaning.

As soon as Gu Ruohan poured the yellow muddy water from above, he could see that the sugar in the tile was turning white little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When all the black syrup in the tile slip flows into the water tank through the small hole under the tile, the sugar in the tile slip is really all white sugar.

As soon as she saw that the sugar in the tile was all white sugar, Li Zijing happily hugged Gu Ruohan and kissed her: "Xianggong, we succeeded!" ”

The corners of Gu Ruohan's cold mouth were slightly hooked, and he was also very happy. Not because he came to make sugar, but because his daughter-in-law was very happy. When his daughter-in-law is happy, he is happy.

……

Because sugarcane will not be bad if it is left in the open for a period of time, Li Zijing and Gu Ruohan are not in a hurry at all, so they did not invite anyone to help make sugar, but the two of them cooperated to take their time.

This was the first time to make white sugar, and many times after that, Li Zijing and Gu Ruohan's methods of making white sugar became more and more skillful.

It's just time-consuming.

Li Zijing and Gu Ruohan have been busy with sugar production since the fourth day of November, and they were not completely busy with this until November 29.

As soon as they were busy with this, Li Zijing and Gu Ruohan began to weigh how many catties of sugar they had made.
