290 boil sugar and squeeze oil

Shi Shan and the leaders of several tribes looked at the rebuilt wooden house, and they all gave Yao Xiaoqing a thumbs up with satisfaction.

"It's still the young witch's ability, we can't think of such a way!"

Yao Xiaoqing's face was a little red, "You guys are too busy, I love to think about it when I'm idle!" What she didn't say was that if you were also from thousands of years later, you would have done the same, and you might be even more powerful than me.

Yaohu glanced at Yao Xiaoqing proudly, and said to Shi Shan: "Brother Shi Shan, hurry up and build a wooden house while the sky is still snowing, and cut down firewood to prepare for the winter." ”

"Leader Yaohu, Wu Xian's Cui Yu has never come back since he left with people, can we put the wooden house with them?" A later leader of a small tribe asked.

Yaohu nodded, "When they're gone, you can build the wooden house there." ”

Shanyang nodded again and again, "Yes, it's best to drive the black bear's daughter away, that woman looks as bad as the black bear." ”

The other chieftains agreed with Sanyo's statement.

Everyone gossiped for a while before they went back.

Yao Xiaoqing thought of the leader's words and looked at Yao Hu, "Father, did you say that the Giant Bear Tribe would go to Shenmu Mountain?" ”

Yaohu thought for a while, "There is this possibility, when I am busy with this section, let people go into the mountain to have a look." ”

"Hmm!" Yao Xiaoqing nodded, thought about it and said, "The oil pressing room is already good, let's squeeze out the sucrose first, and then start squeezing the oil." ”

Yaohu laughed after hearing this, "Sugarcane is sweet, everyone loves to eat it, one today and one tomorrow, I don't think it will be long before it will be gone." ”

Yao Xiaoqing thinks that although there is a lot of sugarcane harvested this year, it can't stand the crowd!

The father and daughter returned to the tribe and went straight to the oil mill, and saw that Jiang Li and the others had already installed the rams.

Yao Xiaoqing walked over and said with a smile: "Jiang Li, let's squeeze out the sucrose first, and then start squeezing the oil." ”

Jiang Li smiled and nodded, "You have people pull the sugar cane over, and the grinding plate and stove are ready." ”

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, went back and took a dozen women to drag the sugarcane to the edge of the ditch and wash it with a straw handle, the water in the ditch was cold and biting, and after a while, it was frozen red like a red-skinned radish.

The cleaned sugar cane is peeled and chopped into small pieces.

"Ah Yu, collect these sugarcane skins, send some to the canteen to Yun Amu, and send the rest to the livestock house, and feed Chun Bo to the cows."

Ah Yu asked puzzledly: "Xiaoqing, what are the sugarcane skins doing for Yun Eminem?" She thinks that it is right to feed the cows with sugarcane skins, and can they be sent to the canteen to make food?

Yao Xiaoqing raised his head, "Send it to the canteen and let Yun Amga smoke bacon and preserved fish in the pine branches, and the smoked food has a sweet fragrance!" ”

"Oh! I know. Ah Yu put the sugarcane skin into a basket, picked it up in the canteen and handed it to Yun Amu.

Yao Xiaoqing led people to put the sugarcane chopped into short knots into the grinding disc and grind it, and the sugarcane juice flowed down the grinding disc into the wooden barrel, and then put the sugarcane residue into a burlap bag to squeeze out the remaining sugarcane juice hydraulically.

After all the sugarcane juice is hydraulically squeezed out, the sugarcane juice in the bucket is filtered out with gauze. After pouring the sugarcane juice into the pot and boiling over high heat, slowly boil it over low heat, stirring the sugarcane juice in the pot to let the water slowly evaporate, so that the concentration of sugar gradually increases.

Keep stirring during the boiling process to avoid the sugar liquid from sticking to the pot. There is only a small flame left in the hearth, and it can neither be extinguished nor ignited.

Stirring is a very tiring job, and it doesn't take long for your hands to become stiff and numb.

Everyone took turns stirring, and after a long stirring wait, the syrup finally boiled and turned into a viscous reddish-brown paste sugar, Yao Xiaoqing scooped out the syrup and put it into the mold to cool.

Yao Xiaoqing asked the second pot of syrup to be boiled slightly older, and the color of the syrup turned black-brown. When this pot of syrup is ready, the first pot of syrup is also cooled.

She led someone to pour the solidified brown sugar bricks out of the mold, and the reddish-brown brown sugar bricks were made.

Yao Xiaoqing picked up a piece of crumble and put it in his mouth, and once again tasted the special caramel-like taste unique to brown sugar.

She put a piece in Shan Eminem's mouth, "Eminem, taste it and see if it's sweet." ”

The sweet sugar cube melted in his mouth, and Shan Eminem smiled and nodded, "Sweet, sweet!" ”

Hua tasted a piece of strange and asked: "Xiaoqing, the sugarcane is white, why is the sugar boiled like this?" Is there white sugar? ”

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "Yes, when all the sugar is boiled, to the last pot of syrup, let's make white sugar." ”

After they entered, Jiang Li looked at her curiously, "Qingwu, do you still make sugar?" ”

"I've seen ways to make white sugar on the Internet before, let's try it and see if it works." Yao Xiaoqing said.

Jiang Li nodded, "Okay, what needs to be prepared, I'll prepare." ”

Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile: "No need to prepare, I made charcoal, put the syrup with water and put it in the charcoal to boil, then filter it with gauze, and after boiling and standing, you can get white sugar." ”

Jiang Li nodded after hearing this, "Okay, let's boil the syrup first." ”

A group of people were busy for several days to boil all the syrup, and the last few pots of syrup were all made into white sugar.

After lunch, the people of the Yaoshan tribe drank brown sugar ginger tea.

Yao Xiaoqing said to the women: "In the future, when everyone is inconvenient and has a stomachache, you can make brown sugar and drink it." Children should never eat sugar before going to bed, their teeth will be broken. When braised food, brown sugar and white sugar can also be added to enhance the flavor. ”

Ah Shuo and they smiled and nodded, "Got it." ”

Yun Amu smiled and held the bamboo cup, "It's warm to drink, and it's very comfortable in my stomach." ”

Shan Eminem smiled and nodded, "Hmm! Next year, let's grow some more sugarcane. ”

Yao Xiaoqing stood up and said with a smile: "When the brown sugar and white sugar are all ready, let's start squeezing the oil." ”

Jiang Li also stood up, "I have to ask a few powerful men to help together." ”

Muba and the leopards stood up, "Let's go help." ”

"Okay, let's go to the oil mill." Everyone went to the oil mill together.

Everyone poured the rapeseed into the wind valley machine, and after the wind was clean, they were poured into the pot and fried until browned, shoveled into the basket and poured on the mat to spread out and cool.

Jiang Li took a few Muba to grind rapeseed into powder with a stone mill and put it into the steamer, until the pot was steaming, the mist in the oil mill was steaming, and the rapeseed in the steamer exuded a burst of oily fragrance.

After checking it a few times, they felt that it was steaming, so Jiang Li asked them to pour the rape powder in the steamer on the mat, shovel the rape powder into the straw basket, and quickly wrap it. Divide the straw baskets into iron rings to make oil cakes.

Then stuff the oil cake into the press tank one by one and arrange it neatly, and then stuff a wooden block on one side of the oil cake after loading.
