Chapter 162: Boiling Sugar Cane Juice

The farce in front of us is just a joke, and it can't recover any losses at all.

The glutinous rice flour in Liu Ji's grocery store is in good condition, whiter than the one Lu Jiu bought before, but it costs twenty-five dollars a catty, and Lu Jiu directly asked for a hundred catties.

In addition to glutinous rice flour, Lu Jiu also bought some preserved fruits, chestnut hawthorn and the like, and also bought a lot, almost spending five taels of silver.

The raisins are the private collection of the shopkeeper Liu, not for sale, they were brought from the city by the trustee, and he himself only got two catties, and now he has given five taels to Lu Jiu, obviously wanting to make friends with Lu Jiu.

But in Lu Jiu's eyes, raisins are a very common thing, so he accepted them directly.

Maybe it was related to grapes, Lu Jiu also met a grape seller on the way, Lu Jiu simply wrapped it directly, thirty catties of grapes, and it cost hundreds of dollars.

Lu Jiu stopped and stopped along the way, bought a lot of seasonal fruits, and always bought jam in the system space, which she couldn't afford.

Anyway, the jam is only made for ten silver coins, so just buy some fresh fruit and go back to make jam, so that you can save a lot of money.

In addition to seasonal fruits, Lu Jiu also bought a lot of sugarcane.

Because the ancient sugar was not white sugar, the color was not pure enough, and the sweetness was not enough, so Lu Jiu planned to use sugarcane juice instead of white sugar.

After buying things, it was almost noon, Lu Jiu planned to go to the next restaurant, but Lu Sanqiu was reluctant to go, and in the end, the two of them each took a step back and went to a roadside stall to eat a few bowls of shredded chicken noodles.

After eating the shredded chicken noodles, Lu Jiu bought another two catties of pork, and then went home.

Lu Jiu went to see the old lady first, sat with her for a while, and then boiled sugarcane juice with Sun.

The old lady is idle, seeing that Lu Jiu is busy working, she is also idle, so she simply helps to clean the sugarcane, it is not a tiring job, and Lu Jiu will go with her.

After the sugarcane was cleaned, Lu Jiu chopped it into four sections with a knife, peeled it and cut it vertically into four sections, and then cut it from the middle.

Sun put the processed sugarcane into the pot evenly, then add water that has not passed the sugarcane section, and bring to a boil over high heat.

When the water is boiling, turn to low heat and boil until the soup is thick and bubbles, continue to add water that has not passed the sugarcane section, and then boil.

Sun put a few more pieces of rock sugar in it, and continued to boil it over low heat, turning off the heat after a quarter of an hour.

After Sun poured the boiled sugarcane juice into the jar, Lu Jiu finally took out his secret weapon.

This secret weapon is the lemon fruit, which is what is now called a lemon.

Lemons are divided into spring, summer and autumn, lemons can only be stored for about a month at most, Lu Jiu's luck is not bad, just in time for the harvest season of autumn flowers and fruits, that is, June and July, so Lu Jiu directly bought all the lemons and stored them in the system backpack to keep them fresh.

Lemon has a great effect, not only can be flavored, but also a natural preservative, especially when making jam with lemon juice, it can be put for half a year will not be bad, and the use is still quite large.

Sun has seen lemons, it's sour, only pregnant women like to eat this, but Lu Jiu asked her to add lemon juice to sugarcane juice, and she added it.

In ancient times, there was no juicer, and Sun's strength was limited, so it took a long time to squeeze out a few drops, and Lu Jiu had to take over this job.

Just when Lu Jiu was about to send some sugarcane juice to the old lady, there was a bang, and the wooden door of the kitchen was kicked open directly.
