Chapter 33: Something is wrong

"That sweet root, the book says it's also called sugar cane."

Although I don't know if the sweet root here is called sugar cane. But Zhao Guo'er, who had long been accustomed to calling them sugar cane, decided to add this name to them.

Zhao Guoer smiled and briefly explained the process of sugar making to Tian Changxing and Tian Funiang: "The sugarcane has to be washed first, and then crushed to extract the juice and boil the brown sugar." Then it is poured with yellow mud water, so you have to bring some yellow mud back...... There should be a ready-made one for the rice stalks, and that one is used for filtering...... Then it is dried and separated, and finally it becomes the white sugar that you see. ”

"Why do you need to use yellow mud water?"

Tian Changxing listened very seriously and attentively, and immediately asked if he had doubts.

Tian Funiang was also curious about this question, and she also looked at Zhao Guo'er and waited for her to answer.

"That's for decolorization."

Zhao Guoer explained: "The sugar boiled out of sugarcane is red, and the yellow muddy water can be discolored. In addition to the yellow muddy water, some lime must be added to the syrup at that time...... I'll show you the configuration when I get back. ”

After speaking, Zhao Guo'er said to Tian Changxing: "Patriarch Grandpa, although everyone is in the same clan, it is difficult to say whether anyone will sell this sugar production method for silver in the future." I thought that I couldn't hide the other sugar production processes. But the configuration and addition of lime water are different, that one is still more guarded, and the less people know, the better. ”

"That's right."

Tian Changxing really didn't expect Zhao Guo'er to be so atmospheric, and he didn't hide it at all, and told him all the methods of making sugar.

He took a deep look at Zhao Guo'er, and suddenly found that he seemed to be a little unable to see through the seemingly simple little girl in front of him, but in fact he had a city in his heart.

's inexplicable intuition and spicy vision made him secretly warn himself in his heart: It's best not to play any tricks in front of this little girl, otherwise I'm afraid that she may not have any tricks left.

For example, Fang Cai, all he could think of for a while was to hold the configured formula in his hand. But what Guo'er thought was that she even hid that step from others.

That would be much more secure.

But since she can think of this, then, if she just told herself all the methods of making sugar, is there really no way to do it?

The more he thought about it, the more Tian Changxing's attitude towards Zhao Guoer became different.

Zhao Guo'er saw it in her eyes, nodded secretly, and then reminded: "No matter how much sugarcane there is on this mountain, it is estimated that it will not be enough in the future." Patriarch Grandpa, you have to find someone to plant more in advance. When you have made money, it is better to buy this mountain first, and the sooner you plant sugar cane, the better. Sugar cane from other places can be used by us, and those that cannot be used are also cut down and stored in the cellar. So as not to be noticed, I bought the mountain first and cut off the back road. ”

"That's really something to worry about."

Tian Changxing listened, but immediately looked at Zhao Guo'er with some embarrassment: "It's just that in this way, the day of our dividends will inevitably have to be moved back a lot of time." ”

It's nothing to delay the dividends in their clan, and Tian Changxing is worried that Zhao Guo'er will be unhappy because of this.

After all, Zhao Guoer wanted to buy a homestead in addition to that house. I think I dislike that there are fewer houses in that house, and I want to build a few more.

Don't be late for the dividends of the sugar workshop, she thinks that the clan is going to repay the debts and bully their mother and daughter?

It's not going to work.

He hesitated: "Otherwise, I'll be in charge of your share of dividends, and I'll divide half of it first?" ”

"No, you don't."

I have other means to make money, and this matter can be hidden from most of the Tian clan, but it may not be hidden from Tian Changxing, the patriarch.

Zhao Guo'er simply revealed a small part, and shook her head with a smile: "I won't tell you, in addition to this recipe for making white sugar, I also have a few recipes in my hand." When I'm free, I'm going to go to Fucheng and sell it to the big restaurant for some silver. Therefore, there should be no shortage of money for a while. ”

"That's good, that's good."

Tian Changxing nodded again and again at the same time, and then stopped the topic with interest, and led the two of them to quickly find a wild sugarcane forest.

Seeing the sugarcane forest, Zhao Guo'er was almost stunned.

Isn't that the growth of sugar cane too good? The thinnest of each cane is as thick as the mouth of a bowl.

…… It's not a rice bowl for eating, but a soup bowl for soup.

Is this really wild, not a sugarcane forest that has been carefully tended to grow?

No, even the sugarcane of the sugarcane forest that has been carefully tended to grow is almost impossible to grow like this.

Look unusually stout. Only the chaotic, undisciplined long law can show that they are indeed a wild sugar cane forest...... Zhao Guo'er was deeply silent.

Trying to mobilize her memory, Zhao Guoer saw all the grandmothers or aunts of the Tian family who had passed away, peeling them with a kind smile, and carefully splitting them, and handing them to herself with a smile on her face.

Zhao Guoer: "......"

Yes, most of the sugar cane was brought back by my grandfather and a few uncles and cousins. However, the kitchen has always been only in the hands of women.

The grandmother and eldest aunt of the Tian family are gone, needless to say about the second aunt, and the third aunt is limited in her and her mother's affection.

And the mother, even if she remembers, it is impossible for her to take food for her daughter from her mother's kitchen without authorization, right?

The more she thought about it, the more Zhao Guo'er thought of the kindness of the Tian family's grandmother and eldest aunt, and sighed and turned her head to stop looking at the wild sugarcane forest. Then, suddenly, his eyes were drawn to a clump of extraordinarily large horsetail grass on the side of the road.

This......

Zhao Guo'er leaned over and picked up a fluffy horsetail as big as a squirrel's tail, and the more she looked at it, the bigger her eyes became.

Something is wrong, something is so wrong. It's not just the sugarcane forest that's wrong, it's the horsetail grass too......

"Why doesn't this kid even know the dog's tail grass? When you were a child, didn't you still like to pull this dog's tail and say that it really looks like a dog's tail? ”

When Zhao Guo'er was in a daze, Tian Changxing and Tian Funiang had already pulled out a sugarcane and were about to go back with their preparations.

Seeing Zhao Guo'er in a daze at the dog's tail grass, Tian Funiang laughed and quipped.

Horsetail grass is indeed also called dog tail grass.

Zhao Guo'er came to her senses and hurriedly said in disguise: "Who said I don't know each other?" It occurred to me that the book also said that this is like a dog's tail fluffy place, crushed and applied to the wound to stop the bleeding. I don't know if it's true? ”

"Really?"

Medicines that can stop bleeding can save lives when it matters.

Suddenly, neither Tian Funiang nor Tian Changxing could care about the sugarcane, and put down the sugarcane on their shoulders without saying a word. also squatted down to pluck the horsetail grass, holding it in his hand with a rare face.

"I haven't tried it, but I shouldn't be wrong."
