Chapter 190: Refining Sucrose

Inside the Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Zheng has been waiting for a long time, and he is waiting with Li Si, the prime minister of the Great Qin Empire, and General Wang Qian.

When Ying Changsheng entered the main hall, Ying Zheng immediately waved his hand at him, and then said.

"You kid don't have to be polite!"

"What is the matter with my father summoning his sons into the palace!"

Ying Changsheng raised his eyes and glanced at Ying Zheng on the dragon chair, and then asked.

I only heard Ying Zheng laugh and open his mouth to say.

"I asked you to come over for something, didn't you ask me to order Baiyue to send a batch of fresh sugar cane over there a few days ago?"

"It was delivered by sugar cane!"

Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he knew that the arrival of sugarcane meant that he could make sucrose.

I saw him win the government, and said excitedly.

"Father, where are these sugarcanes now, can they be used? And Tatsumi can't wait to make some cane sugar, and then let your majesty taste it! ”

"Listen to you kid say that, you are confident!"

Hearing this, the big stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground, and he thought to himself that this kid is so confident, it seems that this kid should really be able to extract sugar here.

At the same time, Prime Minister Li Si and Wang Jian also had a dignified face.

I saw only the two of them saying.

"Nineteen sons, this sugarcane has been delivered, it's over there in Shaofu, and the nineteen sons are going to go over now?"

"Now that I'm going to go, I want to see how the sugar is extracted from this sugar cane!"

Talking about winning politics, he waved his big hand.

Prime Minister Li Si on the side, and Wang Jian said.

"You two will go with you!"

For a while, the two nodded hurriedly.

The group just won the government.

One by one, they went to the official residence of Shaofu.

Right now, I can only see the open space of Shaofu.

Piled up with piles of freshly unloaded sugar cane, which were transported all the way.

Some have been damaged.

Right now, a group of workers who have been called in temporarily are cleaning up the broken sugar cane inside, of course, these broken sugar cane are only a small part after all, and more sugar cane is still intact.

After arriving.

Ying Zhengsheng immediately turned his gaze to the sugar cane on the ground, and after a few careful glances, he let out a long sigh.

At this time, the sugarcane was slightly different from the sugarcane of later generations, first of all, it was smaller, and the thickness was not as good as that of later generations.

Of course, none of this hurts.

The most important thing is that the sugar cane at this time is not as sweet as the sugar cane of later generations.

Is the sugar content that high in it?

That's the most important thing.

I only saw Ying Changsheng, and then reached out and lifted a sugar cane from the ground.

Then he took it in his hand and said to Ying Zheng.

"Father, would you like to try it?"

"How do you eat this?"

Ying Zheng looked puzzled.

But he still reached out and took it from Ying Changsheng's hand, and then took this sugar cane in his hand.

But Ying Changsheng took a sword from the guard on the side.

The cane is then chopped off.

Then he quickly cut off the skin and sent it to the hands of Ying Zheng.

"Father, try it!"

Ying Zheng looked at the sugarcane that revealed the white flesh of the sugarcane after peeling the fruit, and couldn't help but secrete a slight saliva from his mouth.

He thought to himself that this thing looked pretty good, and it was okay to taste it, only to see Ying Zheng take a careful bite, and then chew it in his mouth.

After tasting the sweet hints of sugar cane.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly while chewing, and said to Ying Changsheng in front of him.

"This thing is really sweet!"

Wang Jian and Li Si, who were on the side of Ying Zheng's voice, were all immediately interested.

But immediately Ying Zheng realized that something was wrong, he frowned, chewed the sugar cane in his mouth, and then spit out the sugar cane in one gulp.

"This thing, after chewing it, the sweetness dissipates, and it tastes like chewing wax!"

"Haha!"

After hearing what Ying Zheng said, Ying Changsheng smiled.

He then explained to Ying Zheng.

"That's exactly what my father said, this sugar cane is true, it can only taste the juice in it, and the residue has to be spit out!"

"I see!"

Ying Zheng suddenly understood.

At the same time, Ying Zhengsheng gave Wang Jian and Li Si on the side, and each of them cut a piece of sugarcane.

Then he was holding a section of sugar cane to himself.

Then taste it in your mouth and feel the sweetness of the sugar cane of the Qin Dynasty at this time.

I have to say.

During the Qin Dynasty, there was no selection and breeding, and there was special cultivation.

The sweetness of sugar cane.

Compared to the Hereafter.

Significantly worse.

The problem is not serious, though.

Because although the sweetness is a little worse, it does not mean that the sugar cannot be extracted.

I saw Ying Changsheng nodding with satisfaction, and then said to the craftsman on the side.

"Wait for all these sugarcanes, cut them into sections, and then clean all these sugarcanes, and then prepare an oil extraction machine!"

"Yes, Nineteen Sons!"

The workers on the side did not dare to be the slightest slack, and hurriedly used the water pressor from the well on the side.

Fresh water is pressed out of the well.

Then the sugarcane is washed into the tree, and all the pieces are cut into sections.

Then these canes.

Packed in wooden basins.

Not much.

Thousands of pounds of sugarcane were cleaned one after another.

In the distance, a group of craftsmen laboriously lifted a wooden machine.

It's a very old machine that can still be seen in the future twenty-first century.

In some parts of China in later generations, the countryside.

You can still see this ancient machine.

I saw the sugar cane being stuffed into it section by section.

They were hammered to pieces, then crushed together.

And then a couple of able-bodied workers.

Wielding a hammerhead.

Place the pieces of wood with a pointed point.

Stuff into this machine.

Under the squeezing force generated in this process.

Sugar cane juice gushes out like a spring, and then it flows into the wooden barrels that have been prepared on the side.

Barrels of sugar cane juice appeared in the barrels after a short time.

It looks clean and hygienic, and it tastes good.

Ying Zheng looked at this scene and couldn't help but be curious, he couldn't help but open his mouth and ask.

"That's what you kid said about extracting sucrose?"

"It's still a little bit closer, and it will take a while!"

Ying Changsheng smiled and said to Ying Zheng.

Immediately, he waved his hand and said to the eunuch next to him.

"Immediately go and prepare a large iron pot, and prepare it quickly for my son, prepare the fire, and then pour this thing into the iron pot!"

"Slowly boil dry, the heat should be controlled, not too big!"

"No, Nineteen Sons."

The eunuchs did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and soon an iron pot was set up, and the juice was poured into it.

I saw that under the fire, the sugarcane juice slowly evaporated.

And then.

The original sugarcane juice in the iron pot gradually became viscous.

When it became more and more viscous, it looked like it couldn't be twisted.

Ying Changsheng immediately ordered.
