Chapter 460: White Sugar
Yang Zhi arranged the matter, talked to Ling Hurong, and went to Kaifeng Mansion to find Sun Ding, saying that he was going to visit the prison and see a prisoner named Yang Chun, a white flower snake. Sun Ding knew that the Kaifeng Mansion had refused Yang Zhi's investigation of the prison, but no one could stop Yang Zhi from visiting the prison, so he accompanied Yang Zhi to the prison and asked the jailer to bring Yang Chun out.
Sun Ding was the Confucius of Kaifeng Mansion, and he was a great god to these jailers, and he had already sent Yang Chun's file over with a quick hand; Yang Chun was a native of Qiongzhou, and followed the merchant ship of the Great Cannibal to Bianliang, a man of a trading house, and occasionally went to Wazili to make a cameo as a wrestler. The reason for going to prison is clear, drunk and injured people, because there is no money to compensate, sentenced to six months in prison, so far, Yang Chun has been in prison for four months.
Sun Ding is an old official, looking at the file and asking the jailer on the side: "What is the reason for copying the file two months ago?"
The jailer and Sun Ding looked familiar, patted their ass and said, "You can also see this, Sun Kongmu, you are really a god." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, tell me why. Sun Ding's face stiffened: "Do you need me to check the file?"
What the jailer actually wants is this, if he says it casually, he will be known by his boss and those people in the future, and he will inevitably be reprimanded, but Sun Ding's attitude is here, and there is a reason to make a difference. The jailer whispered, "I added a nickname, the White Flower Snake." ”
Yang Zhi and Sun Ding understood, this was a trick to confirm Yang Chun's identity as a master of the rivers and lakes, even if it was found like now, it would be harmless, but it gave Xie Shi an identity that could be used. Yang Zhi and Sun Ding glanced at each other, and they both felt cold, why did Xie Shi do this, it must be Song Jiang's people who can see this dossier, Xie Shi They knew that Song Jiang was in Bianliang's eyes and did not report it.
Yang Zhi asked Yang Chun to tell the experience, and wrote down the address of the merchant who took Yang Chun to Bianliang, the name of Lamuneng and the tile where Yang Chun often went to wrestle; Sun Ding walked out of the gate of the prison and said with a wry smile: "I won't get involved, you should be careful yourself." ”
Lamu can live in the bluestone lane south of Hengjie, the road in the alley is the same as the horizontal street, it is paved with bluestone slabs, and cars and horses can pass through, but Qingshi Lane is a small alley after all, and the width of the road is less than one-third of the side street, so only a carriage can pass. Lamuneng now lives in Bianliang all the year round, and is doing a business that has been turned over, so he rents a small yard, and in addition to Yang Chun, there is also a man.
Yang Zhi found Li Zheng, and Li Zheng accompanied him to knock on the courtyard door of Lamu Neng's house, and Lamu Neng was very surprised by Yang Zhi's visit, and when Yang Zhi said that he knew about Yang Chun's situation, he was obviously relieved; Lamu Neng was doing business in Bianliang and had encountered too many extortions by officials of the Great Song Dynasty. Lamu can say that the situation is similar to Yang Chun, Yang Zhi ruled out the possibility that Yang Chun came to Bianliang for a purpose, even if Yang Chun has a story, it is after Bianliang.
When Yang Zhi left, Lamu Neng wanted to send a package of white sugar to Yang Zhi, but Yang Zhi refused; Yang Zhi was not short of this little money, but when he left Qingshi Lane, Yang Zhi thought of a business, refining white sugar from brown sugar. The white sugar of Lamuneng is in the state of sand particles, the color is light yellow, and it is not the kind of white sugar as white as snow in later generations; and Yang Zhi knows that this kind of sugar is actually the last step, activated carbon filtration, the most basic common sense in chemistry class; and activated carbon is the reprocessing of charcoal, there is no sodium carbonate, and the grass ash burned by firewood and grass can be replaced by water.
Yang Zhi, as the chief catcher, has a free whereabouts, turned to the horse shop and dropped a list, and asked Zhu Wu to arrange the purchase preparations, the raw materials are both brown sugar and the stone honey of the Three Buddhas; When Yang Zhi returned home in the evening, Zhu Wu and Mao Sixteen had already sent their things over and were chatting with Bei Songlin; Yang Zhi saw that the grass and wood ashes had prepared two baskets, picked up two bowls of rice, and began to work.
Zhu Wu and the others sat in the courtyard very consciously, leaving Yang Zhi alone in the kitchen, the craftsmanship of the Great Song Dynasty is all family heirlooms, and the descendants are not passed on to the daughters, Yang Zhi must be famous in the hall, so they are very conscious;
Yang Zhi didn't know the scene outside, buried his head in the experiment, made activated carbon alone four times, and was busy for two hours before taking out the finished product that was finally cut into small pieces. Now that the weather has begun to get cooler, and the temperature drops at night, Yang Zhi put the activated charcoal on the brazier and baked, after roasting for more than an hour, Yang Zhi's hand felt relatively dry, so he put it into a pot of brown sugar water, stirred, filtered into a colorless and clear dissolution, and it was white sugar after heating and steaming.
When Yang Zhi came out of the kitchen, it was already the fifth watch, and he unexpectedly found that as long as the fourth sister was sitting in the courtyard, Yang Zhi asked Zhu Wu and the others who were already drinking at the house, and handed a small pot of sugar to the fourth sister, and said with a smile: "It's hard work, take it, you can divide it." ”
The fourth sister is a person who knows the goods, and she has also bought some white sugar during the New Year's holidays, and has seen the sugar sent by Dashi and the Three Buddhas, but she has never seen any kind of sugar that is so white in the pot; ”
It was a strange feeling to start with the soft wattle, Yang Zhi didn't take it off, Yang Zhi's heart moved, pulled the fourth sister into the kitchen, picked up a piece of activated carbon from the basin and handed it to the fourth sister and said, "Look at it, can you see anything?"
Yang Zhi didn't know the true identity of Huan Kuai Dao, but now that he knows, he naturally wants to know more about the situation, although Huan Kuai Dao pretends to be a butcher, but he doesn't know whether he will pass on his skills to future generations. Huan Kuaidao only has four daughters, and three have been married for many years, so it must be the fourth sister of Huan.
The fourth sister took the activated charcoal and carefully observed it for a long time and said: "This charcoal is more delicate than charcoal, and it is covered with a layer of red, Yang Zhi, is it the color of brown sugar." ”
Yang Zhi smiled and nodded: "You have eyesight, it seems that Uncle Huan still teaches you a lot of things, so I can rest assured, Fourth Sister, otherwise I will teach you this craft, you can come and help me?"
The fourth sister laughed at Yang Zhi and said: "When did my sister not help you, but you have to tell my father about this matter, you know, he is such a person." "Read the latest chapter of "Ironium Dragon's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
