When it was dawn, Liu Haojia took the silver and went out again. When he returned, he carried a bag on his back. Father Liu opened his pocket and said, "Little Er, what are you doing when you buy so many lemon fruits?" This stuff is not delicious, it can only be used for medicine and seasoning! ”

Liu Haojia smiled slightly and said: "Father is really well-informed, and even knows the rare lemon fruit!" But it's good to teach my father to know that the last step of this secret recipe is to rely on lemon fruit! ”

The lemon fruit in Liu's father's mouth refers to lemons! Many people think that lemons are foreign, but in fact, they are not at all, lemons are authentic Chinese real estate goods!

In fact, there were records of lemons produced in Lingnan during the Tang Dynasty, and they gradually spread over time, all the way to India. During the period when the Arabs had a monopoly on shipping, sailors discovered that lemons were effective in treating sepsis, so they began to buy lemons in large quantities and spread them to the West.

With the advent of the Age of Discovery, the diffusion of lemons was further accelerated. So the lemon spread all over the world with the track of the sailing ship and took root and developed!

And the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty is the place where the world's goods gather, and it is really easy for Liu Haojia to find some lemons, but the quantity is not enough.

After speaking, he beckoned Liu Haonian and his brothers to cut all the lemon fruits in their pockets and squeeze out the juice. The hands of several people were not small, and with the tools prepared in advance, they squeezed a pot of fresh lemon juice.

At this time, Liu Haojia put on a large clay pot, mixed a part of white sugar with a certain amount of water, and began to boil slowly over low heat. He basically didn't stir it at all, except for a little stirring at the beginning.

Wait until all the sugar has melted into syrup and it has begun to boil, then pick up the clay pot filled with lemon juice, measure the amount and pour in the appropriate amount of lemon juice, and then pull out a lot of firewood from the fire, keep the smallest flame and boil slowly.

After boiling for almost half an hour, the water in the syrup was almost boiled, and the color of the syrup began to become darker and darker. At this time, Liu Haojia put out the fire and placed the boiled syrup in a clay pot and sealed it. Then he straightened up and said, "Okay, you're almost ready!" But the real results won't be seen until tomorrow! ”

The thing that Liu Haojia worked hard to make for a long time is called invert sugar syrup, which is an important catalyst for making white sugar! With this kind of thing, the recrystallized white sugar crystalline particles will be smaller and sweeter!

Early the next morning, Liu Haojia re-dissolved all the remaining white sugar, added water to boil, and then added invert sugar syrup for recrystallization! This time the result was very different!

With the gradual crystallization of the syrup, this time it is no longer a grain of white sugar, but a very fine crystal, which is very delicate compared to white sugar! As for the color, although it is not as white as modern industrial products, it is also several times whiter than white sugar!

Liu Haojia pinched a pinch of white sugar in everyone's surprised eyes and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully, sure enough, there was no faint earthy smell of white sugar, and it dissolved faster than white sugar! It can be said that it melts in the mouth, and it is full of sweet fragrance, which makes people feel very happy! It's done!

After fully feeling the sweetness in his mouth, Liu Haojia motioned for everyone to taste it. Everyone else turned their attention to Father Liu at this time, after all, he was the real head of the family, and everyone would not move until he made a move.

Originally, Liu's father didn't want to appear here today, because he felt that his son's attempt had failed! But in order to teach his youngest son a lesson, so that he can remember it for a long time, and no longer listen to the wind and rain in the future, so he waited here.

In his opinion, although white sugar is a way to make money, it is not as big as he imagined! On the one hand, there are already people who have done these businesses, and those who can operate high-end condiments such as white sugar are definitely supported behind them.

The most important point is that the market for sugars is not large. Because the buyers of sugar are mainly the well-off group, the number of people is not large, and even if they insert themselves, they will not get much market.

But after Liu Haojia's tossing, the white sugar produced has changed, becoming delicate, not to mention, the color is still as white as snow! And it doesn't look like the cost is high at all! It's just that the brown sugar is boiled again, and then drizzled with yellow mud soup, what can the yellow mud cost!

Even the invert sugar syrup is boiled with white sugar, and at most some lemon fruit juice is added to it! But how much can it be worth? And the price of this snow-white white sugar on the market must be several times higher than those white sugar! As for those rich families, they will definitely choose this kind of white sugar without hesitation!

Thinking of this, Father Liu put aside his thoughts and carefully picked up a pinch of white sugar and put it in his mouth. In an instant, the white sugar melted in his mouth, and the rich sweetness was not comparable to the white sugar at all!

The moment Liu's father tasted the sweetness, he was sure that once the white sugar was put on the market, those big families would immediately put aside the white sugar and buy their own white sugar! The cost of this white sugar is almost no different from that of white sugar, so that you can buy other people's white sugar to make this new white sugar, which will not affect the existing white sugar market pattern, but also make huge profits! It seems that the ancestors have appeared, and the revival of the Liu family is hopeful!

At this time, Liu Guangyuan and several people also tasted white sugar. Liu Guangyuan was even more exaggerated, and directly grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth! In the same way, he also felt that the sweetness in his mouth was so thick that he felt a little dizzy! Even if he wants to speak now, he won't open his mouth, lest the sugar in his mouth leak out!

As for Liu Haonian, the three of them couldn't stop eating, and the sugar was stuffed into their mouths one by one! Even Mother Liu and Huancui looked intoxicated! But their eating looks much more gentle!

At this time, Liu Haojia clapped his hands and said, "Okay, don't eat anymore, you will eat up any more!" Besides, you don't have to panic! ”

At this time, Father Liu finally came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!" Xiao Er will make this thing, and our family will be indispensable in the future! Now don't eat the big guys, hurry up and clean up all the things in the yard, save what should be saved, don't let people find out! ”

Hearing Liu's father say this, the others reluctantly started to move, helping Liu Haojia to pack sugar and clean up the utensils.
