Chapter 60: Sugar
More and more people are consciously joining in.
Most of the two workshops were built in no time.
The people of Zhenhaiwei don't know what these two buildings do.
But they knew Zhang Luo's ability.
Zhang He is an honest man who doesn't say a word.
He did not publicize Zhang Luo's sale of refined salt.
But Ah Gong Zhang said to the people in Weili.
Last time, I relied on Zhang Luo's money from selling salt.
The guard only paid the fine for the fight.
People who have read books are not small!
Now Zhenhaiwei is every household.
They all want to send their children to the school to become Zhang Luo's students.
I don't have children, and I also want to have a relationship with Zhang Luo.
A capable person like Zhang Luo.
Someday it will rise to the top.
And Zhang Liansheng also ordered his soldiers.
A small port was built on the shore.
It is used for Zhang Luori and Wang Yan to do business.
Zhang Liansheng sent dozens of more people.
followed Zhang Luo and Zhu Xiaoer and his group to Ding Yan Island.
brought all the salt-making tools that Zhu Xiaoer left on the island back to the health center.
Before going to the county school to study.
Zhang Luo finally built the sugar mill completely.
On a dark and silent night.
A search wooden boat appeared on the sea not far from Zhenhaiwei.
Keep walking towards the shore.
Zhu Xiaoer stood next to Zhang Luo.
Seven or eight Zhenhai Guard soldiers were dressed in civilian clothes.
Standing behind Zhang Luo with a wooden stick in hand.
The wooden boat slowly approached the shore.
Draped Hair Three, with his hair draped, stepped out of the wooden boat.
After saluting Zhu Xiaoer.
Two soldiers got on board and carried the two wooden boxes out of the boat.
There is no superfluous nonsense on both sides.
After lifting the Luocheng brown sugar down.
Phi Fa San immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare to go offshore.
Zhang Luo opened the wooden box with his own hands.
I saw that the black pressure inside was really the brown sugar of Luocheng.
After receiving the brown sugar.
Zhang Luo was ready to try to start making white sugar the next day.
I was busy for a while.
Zhang Luo looked at the puddle of yellow muddy water in the pot.
Still scolding a few swear words.
"I ...... Grass"
Sugar production went well at first.
Zhang Luo melted Luocheng brown sugar with hot water.
Yellow mud was then added.
After a day.
The yellow mud does absorb some of the color of the brown sugar.
Solidified in a ball located below.
But the color of the syrup did not turn white after absorption.
Instead, it became the same dim yellow as the yellow mud.
It seems that there is a difference between what is said in the book and reality.
This method of sugar production can even produce sugar.
I can't mention pure white sugar.
Zhang Luo took out the dusk yellow sugar water.
Pour it into the pot again.
After burning it for a while, the result was still a black sugar pill.
On the surface, it looks inferior to the Luocheng brown sugar before processing.
Zhang Luo held back his anger.
Calm down and think.
The essence of the sugar drenching method is to filter out the color substances in the brown sugar.
It stands to reason that the steps should be correct.
But want to leave only the white substance.
Yellow muddy water alone should not be enough.
The sugar making method that I memorized in my head before crossing over must not be complete.
Actually, it's also true, making white sugar is such a secret thing.
How can it be so easy to get.
Zhang Luo began to enter the system.
Open the "Sugar" skill.
Try to find some useful knowledge from it.
The most important step in sugar production is the formation of crystals.
Fuzhou rock sugar generally uses a liquid containing protein as an introduction.
After heating, the sugar is allowed to crystallize along with the primer.
But eggs are a small luxury in Zhenhaiwei.
Zhang Luojue still tried it with bean liquid first.
Both contain protein.
The difference shouldn't be huge, right?
Zhang Luo put the filtered dusk yellow sugar water into the pot.
Then I got some soy milk into the pot.
Start heating up, hopefully this time crystals will form.
As a result, the cauldron of sugar water burned as expected.
Look at the sugar water in the pot getting darker and darker.
Zhang Luo's heart was dripping blood.
After cleaning up the pot, Zhang Luo sat on the ground.
Thinking about the failure of this sugar production.
There were already some broken crystals under the sugar water.
It stands to reason that there is no problem with adding water containing protein for crystallization.
But why did the white crystals not come out.
The color of the sugar water is getting darker and darker.
One possibility is that the temperature of the heating is not well controlled.
Let the sugar water overdose deepen.
Another point is if the temperature is too high.
Causes the sugar water to boil.
Crystals can't be formed.
Zhang Luo remembers when he was cooking.
Put the sugar in the pan.
As the temperature of the stir-fry gets higher and higher.
The color of the sugar will slowly darken.
The root cause of this sugar production failure.
It should be that the temperature of the boiling water is not well controlled, and it is too high.
Preliminary lockdown of the reason.
If you want to keep the temperature under control.
It is necessary to use a water-proof heating method.
Zhang Luo took some sugar water.
Pour the sugar water into a small saucepan.
Then insert the small pot in a large pot filled with water.
Then start making sugar.
Sure enough, by heating through water.
The sugar water slowly has pale yellow crystals to grow.
It really worked!
Zhang Luo happily looked at the crystals formed in front of him.
The color is still a little yellowish though.
But compared to the previous failure, it was already a great success.
[Sugar Quest Completed, Sugar Skill LV Increased, Experience 8/10]
The experience in the system has risen.
It means that the system also thinks that it really makes sugar!
Then another message popped up.
[The location of the sugar mill has been unlocked, chemical skills can be learned, do you receive knowledge?] 】
It turned out to be a chemical skill!
Hurry up, receive receiving.
This is a very critical skill.
Zhang Luo wanted to build an ignition.
To improve the bird's gun, chemical engineering is a necessary skill.
Wonder why it wasn't unlocked when I made refined salt before?
Could it be that the last time I lifted the salt, it was done in the kitchen.
There are no conditions to unlock skills.
This ghost system really doesn't have any rules at all.
It's all up to your luck.
Some basic chemical knowledge entered Zhang Luo's mind.
Zhang Luo recalled the method of making sugar just now.
Indeed, there is a shadow of modern industry.
Rely on the yellow mud water to filter some of the color substances.
Crystals are then formed by protein water and water barrier heating.
The resulting sugar crystals are not pure white.
Or because the water is a little hotter.
In the twenty-first century when the sugar process is made.
At the same time as using the water-barrier heating method.
It will also be done by lowering the boiling point.
The temperature is then lowered to obtain perfect sugar crystals.
Take Zhang Luo now some equipment.
It is difficult to lower the pressure and boiling point.
This yellowish crystal can be raised.
It's a very good majority of the levels.
Wait until there are more and more sugar crystals.
Zhang Luo took out the crystals from a pot.
Then control the force and shatter the crystal.
The result is slightly yellowish white sugar.
Zhang Luo has never seen what white sugar was like in the Ming Dynasty.
But the white sugar that he himself raised.
In terms of appearance, it is already much better than brown sugar.
It's sure to sell for a good price.
Sorted out the procedure.
After that, it's a matter of repeating the steps.
With Zhang Luo's strength beyond ordinary people.
Zhang Luo was busy all day.
Fifty catties of Luocheng brown sugar were raised and twenty-five catties of yellowish white sugar were raised.
The sugar yield is about 50 percent.
Two catties of brown sugar and one catty of white sugar.
