Chapter 82: Niu Niu is missing
The amount of sugar produced from sugarcane is particularly large, fifteen catties of sugarcane can be boiled out of one catty of brown sugar, and the production process is simple, without complicated equipment.
Lu Zhifeng cut a large bundle in one go, a hundred catties, according to the proportion, he can boil ten catties of brown sugar, even if it is filtered and purified into white sugar, there are seven or eight catties.
When Jiang Chengwu was young, he also planted sugarcane, and he also made sugar for everyone to eat as a snack, and when he saw this bundle of sugarcane, he smiled and asked: "Wild sugarcane, is that all?" ”
These canes are a variety of green sugar cane, which is thin and long, and does not look too sweet, and when you tear it open, it has quite a lot of sugar.
Lu Zhifeng smiled brightly, "Also, also, you can probably cut a few bundles." ”
If you want to save some sugar, everyone has enough sugar for a year.
Jiang Chengwu immediately said: "Let's go with you, take advantage of the good weather, and cut it all back." ”
Jiang Si also wanted to follow, but Shen Baoying said, "Just let your father go with your grandfather." ”
Anyway, the island is not big, just shout if there is danger, Jiang Si nodded and stayed.
Qin Shen also stayed, helped them with their hands, and was responsible for doing physical work.
To boil sugar, it is necessary to squeeze sugarcane into sugarcane juice, which was used in ancient times, and there was a large juicer in Jiang Si's space, in order to be at this time.
She took it out of the space and was shocked when she saw Shen Baoying in the kitchen, "What should I do if I conjure it up casually and is discovered by Xiao Shen?" ”
Jiang Si coughed lightly, "Don't be afraid, just say that it was found in the warehouse." ”
Shen Baoying suddenly realized, and used the juicer with peace of mind.
Eating sugar cane raw and drinking sugar cane juice are completely different feelings, Niuniu likes to drink sugar cane juice, and Jiang Si prefers the pleasure of biting sugar cane one bite after another.
There are two large vats of sugarcane juice that need to be boiled in a pot.
As soon as Shen Baoying picked up the wooden scoop, Qin Shen asked, "Do you want to pour it into the pot?" ”
Shen Baoying nodded, and Qin Shen easily picked up the sugarcane juice in the wooden bucket and poured it into the pot.
With a strong waist, Shen Baoying's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Good waist!" ”
Jiang Si sneered, causing Qin Shen to look at her several times.
Jiang Si covered his mouth and lowered his head weakly, it was indeed a good waist.
The boiled syrup gradually bubbled up with impurities as it kept stirring, and Shen Baoying said to Niuniu: "This kind of foam affects the taste of the sugar very much, we can skim it off with a wooden spoon." ”
Niuniu nodded obediently, remembering very seriously, because Lu Zhifeng told her that these are all survival skills that must be mastered in the last days.
The water in the pot is constantly evaporating until it becomes thick.
Shen Baoying dipped some brown sugar, dipped it in cold water and said, "You see, when you dip it in cold water, the brown sugar will immediately solidify into lumps, and you can start the pot and put it in the pot." ”
Niuniu looked at the brown sugar that was a little black, and asked suspiciously, "Aunt Shen, don't we make white sugar?" ”
Shen Baoying smiled: "You want to learn to make white sugar, and when your father and they come back, your aunt will teach you again." ”
When all the brown sugar was shoveled up and cooled, Jiang Linhai and they came back, in order to eat sugarcane in the future, Jiang Linhai and they also deliberately picked some better sugarcane to keep for seeding.
Seeing the cool brown sugar in the pot, everyone praised it, and Shen Baoying took everyone to get busy again, and it was not until it was dark that all the sugarcane was processed into brown sugar.
It could have been faster, but the kitchen didn't have that big pots.
The first batch of brown sugar was completely cooled.
Shen Baoying used these cooled brown sugar to teach Niuniu how to make white sugar, in fact, the process is very simple, only need to prepare some activated charcoal.
Niuniu looked puzzled: "Use charcoal?" ”
"Well, this is based on the fact that the brown sugar has been extracted, and if the white sugar is extracted directly, it will be a little more complicated."
"But it's getting late today, so let's learn this first."
Niuniu's face was full of admiration, "Aunt Shen, you know so much." ”
Shen Baoying laughed, "It's nothing to fool around at home." ”
Add water to the brown sugar, light it to melt, add the appropriate proportion of activated charcoal, and filter the turbid liquid with gauze while it is hot, and you will get a colorless liquid.
Then transfer to the steamer, steam out a quarter of the solution, and then take it out to cool naturally, you will get white sugar.
Although the process is simple, it takes a long time and requires patience.
It was only in the morning that everyone saw that the crystal clear white sugar had successfully condensed.
Shen Baoying used fresh sugar to make sweet and sour fish, Lu Zhifeng took the set yesterday, took it back today, caught two rabbits and mice, and Shen Baoying peeled off the skin and made it into pineapple meat.
It's winter soon, and the sun is still shining on the island, but the temperature has dropped a lot.
Wintering on a ship can be cold, and the fuel consumption is even greater to maintain the temperature in the cabin.
After finding a water source on the island, everyone thought about building a small house for the winter before winter came.
Burning kang like the Northeast is warm and saves materials.
Jiang Linhai is the foreman of the construction contractor, and what he is best at is repairing houses, Jiang Si's drawings, he can know how to repair them after a few glances, and he also knows how to make materials on the island.
Jiang Linhai said to Jiang Si: "It's too hard for us to dig the stones on the island, and there are a lot of discarded bricks and stones that can be used in the small fishing village before, so we can use them if we pick them up directly." ”
Jiang Si has materials for building materials, but there are not many, in case he has to move out of the temporary residence on the island, then he will not be able to use it in the future.
Jiang Si agreed to Jiang Linhai's suggestion, and took everyone back to the small fishing village to pick up bricks and stones in a small cart.
After several truckloads of bricks and stones were delivered to the yacht, a dozen people suddenly appeared in the small fishing village.
Five of these dozen people, Qin Shen smelled a familiar smell, it was the person who wanted to rob their yacht before.
Jiang Si quickly asked everyone to get on the yacht.
As soon as the yacht was started, these dozen people chased to the shore, and five of them still had guns in their hands, and shouted to Jiang Si: "Get off the boat!" Get off board! ”
How could Jiang Si get off the boat, but he drove the boat fast.
The people on the shore were demoralized and did not hesitate to shoot at them.
Jiang Linhai frowned and asked Jiang Si, "Can we fight back?" ”
Jiang Si shook his head: "Forget it, so as not to trouble." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhifeng suddenly rushed to them and asked anxiously, "Have you seen Niuniu?" Niu Niu is gone! ”
"Niu Niu is gone? Wasn't she still on the boat just now? Shen Baoying said with a shocked face.
Lu Zhifeng said angrily: "I searched the whole boat and didn't see her, did she get off the boat and didn't come up?" ”
Shen Baoying is responsible for taking care of Niuniu, Niuniu is gone, she has a lot of responsibility, and immediately remembered, "Niuniu said that she found a sugarcane field, shouldn't she go to cut sugarcane?" ”
