Chapter 15 Filters

In the new week, there will be two shifts a day, around 10 in the morning and around 7 in the evening.

The book is on the list, asking for rewards, collections, recommendations, clicks, comments, and so on!

……

One thing after another made this meal a long time late before it was served. But no one cared about the little guys or the four brothers of the Zhao family. Especially Zhao Er, they couldn't hide the joy on their faces.

Time rewinds to half an hour ago, that is, after Li Anran, who was about to cook, found that the Zhao family's sugar could not be used, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.

In fact, since he really crossed over to Datang, Li Anran has been struggling with how to earn the first pot of gold and have the capital to settle down in Datang. With those modern items that have crossed over with Li Anran, it is not difficult to make money, but it is not easy to make this money safe and worry-free.

It is naturally easy to pretend to be a god and ghost with the identity of a qi refiner and modern items such as mobile phones, but if you do this, it is easier to attract the attention of the Daomen of this era. Li Anran would not be stupid enough to think that he could compare his scheming with those "old foxes". If you are not careful, it is easy to be "swallowed" by the other party even with a belt.

As for the way to pawn with a sword or a lighter, it is not impossible. But in a place like Lantian County, it is easy not to sell at a high price, and you can only go to Chang'an to sell. But if you go to Chang'an, the things in your hand can indeed be sold at a high price. But the risk will be greater, aside from those wealthy lords, you must know that there was also a "black and astringent" place in ancient times.

Li Anran knows very well that now, in addition to the identity he made up, he also has some self-protection ability because of the mysterious runes. If you really get into trouble because of these "treasures" on your body, not to mention that those wealthy lords will not pinch themselves to death more than an ant.

It's just that I ran into the rangers of this era and those ninth-rate gangs, even if I didn't get to die, the end would not be much better. The best situation is to escape into the mountains and forests to avoid trouble, and then start again in another place. If you meet some "powerful" guys, it will be miserable.

As for relying on the knowledge and knowledge of later generations, it can be used to fool the ancients. It's not necessarily useless, but Li Anran doesn't want to put his life at risk and pin his life on those time-traveling novels.

In fact, Li Anran also knows that no matter how careful he is, unless he does not reveal anything related to the knowledge of the future generations, he will attract attention sooner or later. But as long as there is enough time, Li Anran is confident that he will be able to stand on his feet. Even if you get into trouble, the risk will not be as great as it is now.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Li Anran did not show his "supernaturalness" too much, nor did he take out the items on his body to pawn. Even the previous practice of taking out a Zippo lighter and mortgaging it to Sun Changgeng was out of helplessness on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also to test the other party's temperament.

Otherwise, the Rendan prescription that was taken out to be produced in cooperation with the other party and was not of low value would not have been handed over directly to the other party without even writing a cooperation agreement.

Originally, Li Anran was still having a headache, whether it was Rendan or the meat products deep processing industry that he was going to engage in later, although he could make money, the effect would be relatively slow.

After seeing the miscellaneous sugar of Zhao Erjia's family, I remembered that there was no kind of white sugar in this era now, and sugar was a high-priced commodity in ancient times. Before the crossing, the village where Li Anran lived was not far from the largest sugarcane planting area in the county, and the sugar used on weekdays was bought directly from the sugar factory.

Despite the fact that the sugar is produced from the villagers' small workshops, it is made by the traditional process of boiling sugar, whether it is brown sugar, white sugar, granulated sugar or rock sugar, and the quality is much better than that of similar sugars processed by industrial techniques.

Li Anran, who was greedy when he was a child, didn't go to the homes of familiar villagers to rub sugar. After going back and forth, I also have an in-depth understanding of this traditional method of boiling sugar. It's just that this method of boiling sugar is very troublesome, and it is not cost-effective to do a small amount at all, and it requires specialized manpower and equipment to do it in large quantities, plus the competition is already fierce.

Even if this method of boiling sugar is not a secret recipe in the local area, no one in the ten miles and eight towns will be stupid enough to participate in it, and if you want to eat it, you can buy it directly. Although the process from sugarcane to boiling sugar is indeed troublesome, for Li Anran at the moment, there is no need to be so tired, only deep processing is needed.

No, after confirming his own idea. Li Anran asked the Zhao brothers to knock the bamboo charcoal used for bacon into small pieces, wash and dry them with water. I asked Zhao Er's mother-in-law to make two pieces of coarse cloth for sewing, and combined with the coarse sand, fine sand and a bamboo tube that were also washed, to make a simple version of the filter.

The previous piece of miscellaneous sugar is also finely ground into powder, put into boiled boiling water to melt to obtain a saturated solution, and then filter out impurities through the filter of the bamboo tube version. After straining a few times, it is slowly dried over low heat. In the end, the amount of sugar is much less than the previous miscellaneous sugar, but the color is crystal white and snow-white.

To say that there is still some gap between this kind of sugar and the white sugar of later generations, but it is enough for Datang, who has not yet introduced white sugar technology from abroad. In fact, if you really want to process brown sugar into white sugar, you only need to use activated charcoal. It's a pity that Li Anran doesn't have activated carbon in his hands, so it's too late to do it.

Moreover, there are many impurities in Zhao Erjia's miscellaneous sugars, not only the natural pigments that need to be filtered into the solution, but also those impurities need to be filtered out. Looking at the sugar, which was relatively white in color, Li Anran was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. But in the eyes of Zhao Er, it can no longer be described as ecstasy.

Especially the second mother-in-law Zhao and the eldest mother-in-law Zhao, who are in charge of the whole family, are even more aware of the price difference between this miscellaneous sugar and good sugar, and they don't need Li Anran to explain it.

For the business of purchasing low-priced miscellaneous sugar in bulk and processing it into high-grade snow candy and selling it, the four brothers of the Zhao family naturally would not object, but they were not greedy. Li Anran originally wanted to invest in the business with his skills, accounting for fifty percent of the business, and leaving the other fifty percent for the Zhao brothers, but he didn't think about it, but the two families didn't agree.

It's not that the fifty percent share is too small, but that it's too much.

After some pushing, in the end, it was Li Anran who took up the identity of Chunyang Zhenren, and only then did he set the distribution ratio of Sanqikai, and just like that, the four members of the Zhao family were already excited.

In addition to the snow sugar named by Li Anran, how to cook pork deliciously, how to use sauces, spices and several condiments to marinate the well-cut pork. As well as the method of deep processing of meat products through smoking, steaming, drying, roasting and other means, Li Anran did not reserve, and taught him by word and deed.

As for the issue that these methods need to be kept secret, there is no need for Li Anran to order them, and the four brothers of the Zhao family have already vowed not to disclose half a sentence to others. Especially the eldest mother-in-law Zhao and the second mother-in-law Zhao, who have parents and siblings, were told by their respective men, and even their mothers' families could not be revealed.

For this point, the attitude of the two mothers-in-law unanimously agreed. It's not that I don't want my mother's family to be stained, it's just that this light is not such a staining method. As the saying goes, the daughter who marries out of the devil spills the water that goes away. If you really want to be good to your parents' family, and make a lot of money in the future, you can give some benefits from other places.

And such an idea, after Li Anran took out his copycat mobile phone and took a few clear photos in the courtyard of Zhao Er's house, he became even more determined. Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even during the Republic of China, photography was also regarded as a terrifying thing by some ordinary people living in low-level situations.

For fear that his soul would be taken away by the Western machine, for Zhao Er, they also thought the same, so they became more and more in awe in their hearts.

Some people will say, why didn't Li Anran lower his body and mingle with Zhao Er? Aren't all those similar time-traveling novels written like this? The protagonist mingles with the ancients, and then the latter is grateful and hates to sell his life to each other, and then hello, hello, everyone, and it soon develops.

If you have to scare people by taking pictures, isn't this a snake to add to the picture?

In fact, Li Anran has not thought about this, and with the simple environment of ancient people, it is not impossible to achieve the point in those online novels. But in Li Anran's view, after having a certain foundation and strength, doing so is a move to be close to the people and love the people.

What can I do now except for a fabricated identity. Only when rewards and punishments are clear, and grace and power are combined, is it most appropriate. The most important thing is that the simple plots of the ancients described in those novels, Li Anran really didn't dare to believe it too much before he experienced it himself.
