Chapter 11 Sugar Production

Liu Qing and Zhou Tai said goodbye at the entrance of the village, and went home to chat with Liu Da. was afraid that Liu Da would be implicated in his next fight with Cheng Kang and Cheng Qi, so he sent someone to send him to a relative's house in the county to recuperate from his injuries.

Unconsciously walked to the pond again, thinking about what happened in the crossing, Dou Cheng Kang, the county government Dou Cheng Qi, got acquainted with Zhou Tai Chen Wu, and mobilized the villagers...... In just these two days, Liu Qing only felt that it was really like a dream.

All kinds of past lives passed by in front of me one by one, parents and family, food, tobacco and alcohol, books and computers...... It's just that, I can't go back, I will be safe when I come, and now although I have offended You Tu and the county, I have also met Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, Liu Kai, and the support of the villagers, which is not too bad. It's just that the family is surrounded by walls, and it is in urgent need of money.

Fortunately, he was a top student in the chemistry department in his previous life, and later he lacked money to write novels, but after many years of exams, he finally remembered the method of making sugar.

Liu Qing took some beets from Liu An's house, washed them and cut them into thin strips, exuded, heated the exudate in a pot, added some slaked lime, mixed and heated until boiling, waited for a while for it to precipitate, took the clear liquid on the upper part of the precipitate, cooked it to make it thicker, slowly waited for the liquid to cool and crystallize naturally, and then filtered the crystals on the sieve, the sweet white particles separated were white sugar, and the remaining red particles were brown sugar. However, the equipment and process required to make white sugar need to be sieved many times.

Liu Qing worked all morning, and in order to earn the first pot of gold as soon as possible, he only made some crude white sugar.

"Made some delicious food, taste it." Liu Qing said to Liu An, who was following him.

Liu An grabbed a handful of white sugar and stuffed it into his mouth, "Well, what is this?" Seriously...... It's really delicious, sweeter than the sugar cane that the merchant brought a few years ago, brother, but there is still some left, give me some more. ”

"I invented this thing, so I named it Qing Candy. You don't do much, eat slowly, and send more to the county. You take all the beets in your house. ”

"But brother, this beet is my family's ration these days."

"You can only rest assured, even if you take it, I will pay you back a hundred, a thousand times the beet."

"Brother, I believe you, if the family doesn't let me, I will steal it all."

As soon as Liu An left, Song Qian came back from the county and happened to meet Liu Qing.

"Liu Jun, what a coincidence, what are you doing?"

"Oh, some gadgets to eat." Saying that, Liu Qing gave Song Qian some sugar.

Song Qian tasted it, and his expression was the same as Liu An's, "I...... I've never eaten anything like this, it's wonderful. ”

"The name of this thing is Qing Sugar, which I read an ancient book a few days ago and learned how to make it."

"That's the case, Liu Jun is really knowledgeable. By the way, Liu Jun, there are many major events in the county today, have you heard? ”

"Oh? What's the matter, I didn't go to the county today, and I bothered Song Jun to tell him. ”

"It is rumored in the county that Liu Jun scolded Cheng Kang, I have a friend named Shiji, he is the prison secretary in the county, and I heard him say that Cheng Kang vomited blood because of this. The most bizarre thing is that the wife of the villager Li Kuang was killed by someone and hung the body at the door of Cheng's mansion, I heard that Cheng Kang was scared half to death again, and now he only has half a life left, hahaha, he is really happy. Song Qian clapped his hands and laughed as he spoke.

"Good! It's really happy, and if you are scared to death, then you will applaud. My view of Song Jun is quite extraordinary, and Song Jun's friend must be unusual, he will definitely come to my place to drink together one day," Liu Qing said with a smile.

"Thanks to Liu Jun's attention, he will be called every day." The villagers all regarded themselves as a reckless man with some strength, and seeing that Liu Qing looked up to himself so much, Song Qian was a little moved.

"By the way, Song Jun, don't be in a hurry to leave first, take this thing and taste it."

"How can this be done?"

"Make it, Song Junwu's friend also."

Liu Qing wanted to go out more, not only did he do favors to show his closeness, but if he tasted more people and wanted to eat it, he would buy it from home, after all, this Qing candy is the only one, and there is no other semicolon, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Liu An stole all the beets in the house, and the two made a few catties of sugar and rushed to the county governor's mansion before dark.

Liu Qing said to Liu An outside the door: "When I meet the county lieutenant, you just need to do this...... So. ”

The housekeeper saw that this young man drank with the county lieutenant last time, and he was very impressed, and he didn't dare to slack off, and Liu Qing saw Liu Kai after a while.

Liu Qing Shili said: "Lord County Lieutenant, I saw a method of making food in the ancient books, which was just made, and I immediately came to offer it to the county lieutenant. ”

Liu Kai nodded, tasted the white particles handed over by Liu Qing, he was a little disdainful before, what delicious food can you make as a country boy, only to find out that it was not a big word after this entrance, and said in surprise: "What is this?" It's so delicious, Liu Jun is talented. ”

"This thing is made by me today according to the ancient method, and it is called Qing Sugar."

"But there's more, you can bring it."

"Anzi, go and bring the beets at home quickly, and I will make candy for the county lieutenant." Liu Qing commanded Liu Andao loudly.

"Brother, all the beets in my family have been taken by you to make Qing candy and give them to the county lieutenant, the rations are gone, where are there any beets." Liu was aggrieved, and two tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes.

"Alas, my lord, alas," Liu Qing also pretended to be helpless.

Liu Kai saw that Liu Qing was dressed in tatters, so he made candy and sent it to himself, and even his brother's family rations were gone, which was really a piece of heart. Immediately, the housekeeper took two pieces of money and gave it to Liu Qing. The housekeeper was a little surprised to see that Liu Kai attached so much importance to this young man, and thought that he would have to look more carefully next time.

Liu Kai said: "Liu Lang, read your heart, first take this money to subsidize the family, and send it with a lot of sugar, this Qing sugar is really a delicacy in the world." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, after returning home from the county government, I always remember the kindness of the adult, and I will send it after the candy is done."

After taking the money, Liu Kai had to keep him overnight to drink and chat, and Liu Qing found an excuse to slip away when his goal was achieved.

On the way, Liu An admired: "Brother, I'm really ...... It's really convincing you, how did you become so ...... So, I don't read much, I can't describe it, it's true"

"I became scheming, but this is what I want to say? Anzi, you have to understand, it's not that I want to be like this, why don't I want to work at sunrise and rest at sunset, in a world of chaos and strife, I can't help myself, you take this money. Liu Qing said and took out the usual money to Liu An.

Liu An didn't expect to give half to him, and he hadn't seen so much money, so he exclaimed, "This ...... How can this make so much money enough for my family to balance for half a year, no, no, too much. ”

"Why not, Anzi, you remember, you are my younger brother, and you are the closest to me except for Ah Weng. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours. Besides, you brought the sugar beets for making sugar, and you also have a share of the money, otherwise how can you pay it when you go home, take it. As he spoke, he shoehorned the money into Liu An.
